Re: History of Nuclear War VII [Phase 2]
.Phase 2]On December 2nd, 1942, the world's first self-sustaining nuclear reaction was created at the University of Chicago. Enrico Fermi, the designer of the experiment, was finally able to demonstrate the power of nuclear fission, which he had predicted almost 20 years earlier. A now-famous indicator of the urgency in the effort is that Fermi's reactor was located under the bleachers in the University's football field, because a permanent facility being build for him in the Argonne Forest wasn't ready.
Although the University of Chicago was a major star in the early days of the Manhattan project, it was soon eclipsed. Being focused on mainly theoretical and scientific questions, it steadily lost influence in a Manhattan Project that was mainly concerned with the practical engineering issues involved in building bombs. After the war, the Argonne lab would regain prominence, as a leader in peaceful applications of nuclear energy.
Phase 2
35 players in 5 groups will play 7-player games on the Chicago map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.
Phase 2 games have been created and invitations sent out!

Develi missed first invite into his Phase 2 game; re-sent. Other than that, all Phase 2 games have successfully begun.

Re: History of Nuclear War VII [Phase 3]
Dukasaur wrote:Phase 3]By far the largest facility run under the umbrella of the Manhattan Project was the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Here, Uranium-235 was separated from Uranium-238 by a variety of processes, all of which were experimental and needed to be developed and improved "on the fly." The centrifuge method was a failure and was soon abandoned, but electromagnetic separation, gasseous diffusion, and thermal diffusion were all successful to some degree and contributed to the final stockpile of fissionable uranium. By 1945 there were 75,000 people working at Oak Ridge, and the K-25 gasseous diffusion plant was the single largest building on the planet.
Phase 3
30 players in 5 groups will play 6-player games on the USA Southeast map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Re: History of Nuclear War VII [Phase 3]
CJMONSTERNATOR missed his invite into his Phase 3 game. I checked his wall and he hasn't been online since May 14th, so I'm not even bothering with the formality of a second invite and simply replacing him.
Jeremscarem was the player eliminated in CJ's Phase 2 game, so jerem is readmitted.

Re: History of Nuclear War VII [Phase 4]
Creeping Jesus missed his invite into his Phase 4 game. Checking his other games, I see he has deadbeated games all over the place and is presumably offline for the long term. I'm therefore not even bothering with a second invite. ZionT was the player eliminated in Jesus' Phase 3 game, and is therefore reinstated.
