Ok time of small problems to solve seems to be over :geek:

Last person of dish3 joined, on 4 tables dish4 is started as it should be and I did send first PM for dish5 :mrgreen:

At this moment it looks like that my predictions will be (again) wrong :o
At the first Dinner Date 11 of the 25 people came to date and it took longer then predicted ;)
So I anticipated on that for this Dinner Date and now I have only 1 who came for the date :shock:
Anyway the result is that I currently expect this Dinner Date to finish earlier then predicted :?
But who knows, it is still possible for 21 games to continue for many rounds :lol:

Re: Asian Dinner Date (5x5 windmill) 21-10 More score eaten

The soup is finished and nobody complained about any fly =D>

Only three persons with a top-score left :shock:
The eating of tulips at dish3 was one of the reasons why I did expect the top-score to hold for a longer period :geek:
The 1st finished Fugu table was won by one of the top-score; therefore doesn't eat any of his (her) tulips and remain top-score; in fact current top-score could hold longer now :ugeek:
Most likely one person didn't understood it very well: he (or she) didn't only eat the dishes but also eat all his (her) tulips :sick:

With one person from the waiting line this Dinner Date is running well again \:D/

dish3 in table 3419954 has finished (Game 3419954)

schnitzella ran away pretty fast after hearing what it was, Tammy DeLee also seemed to get scared quite fast. Gunner1980 and Katya stayed for a bit longer but I think that I scared them away in the end :D

I don't know what you did tell them, but indeed several plates came back with the Fugu untouched. :lol:

Re: Asian Dinner Date (5x5 windmill) 1-11: 2nd prediction wrong

Ok my second prediction is very wrong. In fact it is 25% off target. That is even more then in my first tournament :(

What are the causes :geek:
    There was only one person that entered for the date, by which I had far more games running directly from the start
    What you didn't know was that I have to go on a trip, but now all games started befor I will leave for a short period
    Getting a correct prediction for these kind of things is nearly impossible :lol:

Re: Asian Dinner Date (5x5 windmill) 13-11 again no new score

Ok a nice new score today, causing a reduction by 3 of the potential winners :mrgreen:

Just curious, what will you do with games that have ran into stagnation? I didn't notice it but have you set some round limit when you will find some other way out or are you waiting games to end even if it takes months and months?

In case you have a real match at a blind date in real life, it can take years before it ends :D
So my Dinner Dates may take as long as people need :lol:

For my City trip I booked only for 50 nights (as my travel agancy always will limit their bookings) :mrgreen:
For Trippel Trappel I also didn't made any limits, but simply because I don't expect that there will be standard triples games that can get more then 25 rounds (as long as that is not becomes the goal in itself) :ugeek:

Alright, thanks :)

btw, I'm too lazy to go back to your Trippel tournament but you were missing a link in there... under predictions :P

Alright you are correct :oops:
I am not perfect :P
So it turns out that I can make msitakes as well :(

But thank you anyway, I was able to correct it :geek:
There are always good things about mistakes: this is the first time I have the feeling that people look at my predictions :mrgreen:
And the link(s) should give some example about how incorrect they are :lol:

Re: Asian Dinner Date (5x5 windmill);5 people left that can win

The tea tables were intended to take a long time :geek:

With currently 4 ongoing I expect that one might hold until X-mass or even longer :lol:
3 tables have started to break up, I did expect two of those. :geek:

But continue until my original prediction is still a long time :mrgreen:

Nice new score today; it reduced the number of people that could win to 5

Sad to burst everybody's bubble... oh, wait, not really :lol:

Game 3560944 is over, amazzony wins. What a game, I think I've never played a No Spoils game so aggressively. I knew I'll be taking a risk but it seems this time it was worth it :D GG, everybody in the game, very good game!

Yes with winning that game you also did win this Dinner Date =D>

In the last few days I did get permission to finish this Dinner Date properly: so score update until everybody left :mrgreen:

But now don't wait any longer and congradulate amazzony =D>

Hey,
Just a thought - couldn't I still tie Amazzony for the win?
We were tied before the last round, and, although it doesn't currently look like I'll be taking first in my game, it is still possible - the game is still going. So, what about that?

With everybody meeting everybody in exactly one game, it is not possible in the windmill setup to get a tie of two persons :geek:
In case you win your game the situation is clear: you both will have the same amount of tulips and Amazzony still did win this tournament since she won the game in which you were together :ugeek:
In other words you already did play your tie game :mrgreen:

Thank you :)
You are welcome in the next tournament as well, so you could give it another try ;)
I am currently not busy with getting people into a tournament (since I still have a life outside CC) =P~
Bit with some luck I start the next by the end of this year or beginning of next :geek:

Don't worry, you are the correct winner 8-)
I make mistakes, but up to now it are small mistakes; so not in declaring somebody as winner :geek:
Still people are allowed to start discussion and asking for extra games, so they still can become winner :lol:
But at my tournaments I set the rules and try to explain them as good as I can directly in the first post :mrgreen:
Up to now I always repeated the most important parts again in post3 :ugeek:
And to my opinion a bad thing an organizer can do is change the rules and the worst is change a rule after the start :oops:
I have been in one tournament in which I should play a second game, but after finishing my first game the organizer did change one of the rules by which I was out of that tournament. No matter howmany good tournaments he will organize, I will not join one of them anymore. I am still angree about that :twisted:
