Lurk's Roulette [Winner: jwithington]

[lurkerleader]

No response from this player, he is now eliminated and I will commence to make round 2 games and PM each player the games they need to join.

[jwithington]

I have successfully shot b00060.

Game 6498411

I'll be interested to see if he dodges!

[lurkerleader]

updating the scoreboard now

[jwithington]

Hello!

I just shot b00060again

Game 6498412

I benefited from insanely good drops in both games. Lucky me!

[jwithington]

Moot point, but I successfully defended over here!

Game 6498409

Good game, Darwins_Bane!

[lurkerleader]

2 games are about to finish and then round 2 will be over. After which, I will update the surviving members scoreboard to show the correct stats.

I seemed to have overlooked a valid player for round 2 - 16. elmerfudd - should have been playing that round, will PM all surviving to get feedback on fixing this problem.

Sorry everyone, Lurk

[lurkerleader]

Votes were cast - In a 4 to 1 decision, the chosen solution is to make elmerfudd play 2 Defend games against a remaining player.

Using Random.Org, it has been decided that Nikita42 will be the one that has a chance to shoot elmer.

I will commence making the games and sending invites now.

[lurkerleader]

Round 3 games have been made and sent. I still need to update the scoreboard to reflect round 2 stats. Will get on that when I find some more time this weekend.

this sucks!
I just realized i won 5 out of 6 matches and still got eliminated for speeding up a game. I mean i failed one defend against nikita42.

2010-02-28 16:29:57 - Nikita42 eliminated SirSebstar from the game
2010-02-27 15:45:22 - uckuki eliminated Nikita42 from the game

here is what i dont get. nikita died before i did. so why am I eliminated?

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that it isn't based on the time when you win or lose, but rather, the total time from the start of your match to when you won or lost.

It's kinda weird but that's how the tourney is set up.

Yeah...it actually punishes quick players.

Well, it was part of the rules, Lurk's been pretty clear about it, and it's established that if anyone is slowing down for the sake of not dying, that Lurk said he'd look at it.

It's just another quirk to a quirky tournament. Personally I think it's fun to be looking at other matches to see if I am alive or not!

[drunkmonkey]

I'm not too worried about it. I looked through all the games in the round I was eliminated, and I would have been out even if it went by round instead of time. You're correct; he was clear about the rules from the beginning.

[lurkerleader]

Update - Both Easy n Dirty and jwithington have advanced to round 4. Nikita42 was eliminated 65 hrs, 18 mins, and 36 secs into round 3.

This means jwithington has had 2 near deaths this round, and thanks for clarifying to some people the rules

Waiting on last 4 games to finish to decide the fate of HighlanderAttack and SNARF17WD.

[lurkerleader]

SNARF17WD has been shot and killed by the hands of HighlanderAttack - 155hrs, 53mins and 58secs into round 3 - And now has been eliminated, thank you for playing.

Only 2 more influential games remain - Remember that if HA misses 2 turns in his defend games he is eliminated and snarf will be put back in the tournament!!! Lets hope Ha with his 1200+ games has been not missing any in this tournament

EDIT - HA lives onto round 4, games will be made Tuesday morning and sent out then.
