Stage 2 Round 1&2. Standings updated!

Round 1 is finished for now, groups B and C need to play their Pearl Harbour game which will be created when I find that the time is right for them (of course, the map has to come back active before I can do it). Round 2 is nicely active and new games will be created for groups B and C in the next couple of days, depends when I'll find time for it (sorry, I'm kinda busy and need to do some others things).

Stage 2 Round 2.

I'm keeping an eye on the games, checking them once per day (thanks to Watch this game plugin). One game hasn't started but it will as soon as the missing player gets a spot open. Most likely I won't post too often because we are in the longest going (Flat rate) round so it will take some time before the games end.

Stage 2 Round 2.

All 12 games of BETTER round are active, now just need to wait for them to end. Sidenote, I don't remember if I mentioned it before but from this round all groups are playing 3 games at once.

Stage 2 Round 2.

Not much has changed, perhaps an elimination or two has been added to the ones we had before but no games ended yet. As I'll be away for a couple of days at the end of this week then I won't check the games again before Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. Don't think that much will change during the time but just wanted to let you know just in case :)

Stage 2 Round 2. No finished games, just some eliminations. I'll check back in a week or two in hope that there's a change :)

Stage 2 Round 2. Not much to say, perhaps just quote ga7 from one of the games and agree with him:
gl folks... here comes the boring stage

Lol, yep, this stage slows the whole thing down almost to a complete halt for months, damn you whoever originally ran this tourney :P

Yeah, I was thinking that perhaps I should change that Stage to escalating to speed up the tournament but I've decided that I won't change the original format because this tournament is supposed to show versatility and durability and taking away the flat rate round would take away a lot from the concept of the tournament. Therefore, lets all hope that you won't end up in stalemate games and do your best to play aggressive :D

Well done, Group B, for ending your Charleston game :D A PM chain will be sent out soon to decide who gets what points from that game.

Also, as Group C has eliminated their only freemium player in one game (and there are a bunch of eliminations in another one) then I've decided that the Pearl Harbour games from Round 1 (HARDER) will be created for both groups B and C.

Things looking nice, just keep playing the games and start finishing them soon O:)

Stage 2 Round 2 Group B Game 3 ([game]7007860[/game]) results (from winner to last places): DBandit70, bigreuben, ga7, Miandw, God Emperor Q, Gilligan, n00blet/Ninjai Jr.

Joe B. wins Soviet Union game, I believe this is the game where you vote runner-up. If that's the case, I give 2nd place vote to Nicho. He came in 2nd but played the game well and deserved it.
Group C

Yep, that's the game/round :) Thanks for your pick!!

Group D has finished their 2nd game in the same round so their winner will receive a message about how to vote 2nd place.

Keep playing, looking good so far :D

Thanks, ptp!

So, basically, things are starting to get interesting again and right now I'm collecting places from the games that have finished and keeping an eye on the games that are still active.

I've decided that we'll move on to Round 3 - FASTER (stage 2) as soon as Round 1 - HARDER (stage 2) has finished all of its games. I'm just telling so freemiums would know how to keep their slots or when to get them open. So, more simple way to say it - everybody will get one new game when both of these games have ended: [game]7207761[/game] and [game]7207762[/game].

Actually not much (read: nothing at all) to update, except that I wanted to leave a note to the topic that I'll be having a busy-ish week so most likely no updates until middle of next week.

Haven't forsaken you! I'm checking games once in a few days so I'm on top of knowing when something ends (usually).

Right now I'm waiting for the last Round 1 game (group B on Pearl Harbour) to end and as soon as it ends, I'll be creating first game of Round 3. So, please make sure that you have a spot open for that game. As the game is foggy then I don't know when exactly it will happen but I'd predict it to happen in maximum 2 weeks (thought depends how fast people take their turns).

Alright, time to move on to Stage 2 Round 3 (FASTER). Everybody should be in less than 3 games (exception is bigreuben but he should be getting his spot open soon because Round 1 of this stage should be over really soon) so I can send out next game. I'll set it up after I post this message.

Edit. No new games ended since last update so nothing to update on that front. But, a few games seem to be ending soon, one is in "chain mail" and Round 1 should be over really soon so soon I can finally update something :)
