In and Out: The Assasin - The Orient [Tirbid wins]

[Dukasaur]

Round 2 Game 4 begins. Apologies for the long delay. Games have been created and invitations sent out!

[Dukasaur]

Tobikera has resigned:

Hey.... I'm in the process of moving to Panama from the U.S., and had to quit playing CC. Could you please find a replacement for me in the Indochina game and any that follow. Many thanks and good luck.

Tobikera

This has left a gap in [game]11883352[/game].

However, I also find that I incorrectly left Br4nd0n2002 out of this round. I thought as a result of killing the wrong target in [game]11455199[/game] he would be forced to sit out, but on re-reading the rules

Assasinating the wrong target will gain you no points for missing your target, but will still keep that player out of the next round and every other player gains the 1 point survival bonus.

that I shouldn't have.

Consequently, I've invited Br4nd0n2002 into the empty slot in [game]11883352[/game] left by Tobikera.

Round 2 Game 5 invitations have been created and invitations sent out.

Since we are 1 player short now and have no more reserves, I am randomly selecting one player who should have sat out to sit in. This round, the recipient of this largesse has been nkholley.

[Dukasaur]

okay, darkbluesky has dropped out. I've invited Marshallbobby from among the last round's eliminees to replace him.

[Genoke]

Dukasaur, thanks for saving this tourney!

[game]11949165[/game] has been finished by now.

You're very welcome...


Only one game left in this round. However, I'm running out of time for tournament updating this weekend, so it will probably be next weekend before we send out the next round.

[Dukasaur]

Riskmaster101 and mwaser both deadbeat out of their games this round. They both hide their online status so I can't tell for sure, but neither one of them has any active games going so I have to assume they're gone for good.

With the six eliminees this round having to sit out, we are down to 26 players, so I think we can reduce it from six games to five. One game will be 6-player.

[Dukasaur]

Round 2 Game 6's have been created and invitations sent out. Good luck, everybody!

[Dukasaur]

Still one active game in this round. Next updte will probably be in a week.

[Dukasaur]

Game 7s have been createed and invitations sent out. Good luck all!

[Dukasaur]

Nkholley declined two consecutive invites. I guess this is his way of saying that he wishes to quit the tournament, although he hasn't show us the goddamn common courtesy of posting a resignation or replying to my PM.

I really wish people would be more considerate. For the record: I have no problem with anyone who is no longer enjoying a tournament and wishes to drop out. It's a game, not a prison sentence, so by all means if you aren't happy with it then you should be free to leave. But please, please, please make your decision to quit before the games are made for the next round. It is super-easy to make adjustments or replace people before games are made, but once the games are made and invitations are sent out, it gets a lot more complicated and a nuisance for everyone.

In this case I was randomly selecting someone from among the sit-outs to fill nkholley's vacancy, but I accidentally picked from last round's sit-outs, and invited zissou2. I've sent him a message asking him not to accept this invite as he is already in a game this round, but he might not notice the message in time. If zissou does see the message and declines the invite, I'll select someone from the proper list tomorrow. If zissou accepts the invite, it's not the end of the world: I'll just credit him with the higher of his two scores this round and neglect the other. This will give him a tiny advantage on the scoreboard which shouldn't upset the applecart too much.

Only one active game left in this round!

[game]12164106[/game] has ended, and with that, the round is over. Next game coming within 48 hours; freemies please keep those slots open...

Latest improvement: I've moved my spreadsheet to Google Drive so you can look directly at the spreadsheet from now on instead of me needing to post interim scoreboards. This should reduce my workload a bit. The link is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap9tZNjRXkJydElBZDRNc3FiaDJjVFU0M2ZQTHFZcWc&usp=sharing
