Are you sure about that? What happened?

Update

The Keg-Off has begun, and before some of the dance-offs have even begun, one of them is done! chapcrap saves himself from elimination after prevailing over ianphull. This further extends the lead nibotha has over the rest of the dancers, making it seem more and more like a one-horse race to the end.

Update

Whoops, sorry about that, looks like I forgot to do an update after sending out the set of games for Hour #21!

We're currently waiting for the 4-player game to finish - there are just 3 full rounds left to be completed, then the round limit will cut the game off. There is still a high possibility of 1 or 2 players being eliminated from the tournament based on the results of their game.

Update

At the end of the 21st hour, nibotha's lead of 5 stamina points was cut down to 3 stamina points, following his loss in the dance. That said, he still maintains quite a strong lead, seeing as he has 50% more stamina points than the 2nd placed contestants.

The 21st hour also saw chapcrap and uckuki falling out of contention for the grand prize of the bar, as they just couldn't keep up with the groove. With their departure, only 5 contestants remain in the competition. As such, there will only be 1 game per round (other than Keg-Offs) from henceforth.

Update

The 22nd hour has passed, an interesting round that saw ianphull pull himself out of danger for now, after his win. Taking his place in the danger zone is wesleymilo, who lost 3 stamina points and is now in danger of elimination, should he fail to place 3rd or higher, in the next hour.

On the leaders' side, nibotha's lead was once again cut down to a mere single stamina point, losing 2 stamina points for a total of 7. Only a single stamina point separates each of the top 4 players left in the competition.

Update

As the end of the 23rd hour arrives, a new leader emerges on the leaderboard - jcarter1 leads with a total of 6 stamina points, 2 points more than the previous leader, nibotha, who now has 4 points. The rest of the players are tied at 3 stamina points each.

As stated before, the keg-off will now commence - and the odd player will play a game against a random opponent, for whom the game is not counted. The game labels for the keg-off clearly state which players the game will count towards.

Also, as none of the remaining players are at risk of elimination during the keg-off round, the game for Hour #25 has been sent out as well.

Update

The 24th hour quickly draws to a close, and the 25th hour ticks on. The end of the Keg-Off saw 3 players losing 2 stamina points each; and with that, 4 of the 5 remaining players are now in danger of elimination. The sole player that remains safe is jcarter1, who increases his 2 point lead to a 3 point lead over the second placed player, who is now ianphull.

Update

Hour #25 passes by, and we move onwards to Hour #26.

Hour #25 saw 2 casualties run out of stamina, being eliminated from the competition. Going into the hour in 2nd and 3rd place respectively, ianphull's and nibotha's elimination shows that anything can happen on the dance floor, and it's still anybody's game.

The dance battle for Paddy's Pub is now down to jcarter1 (Gladys), deantursx (Frank) and wesleymilo (Lil' Kev). jcarter1 currently leads the pack with 5 stamina points being safe from elimination for at least 2 more games, while the other 2 will have to fight for their lives (or rather, dancing stamina) for every game from now on, as there are no longer any opportunities to gain stamina.

looks like this will end very soon

Yes, finally! About time it did!

i didnt check this forum in a good while and never noticed your updates. Thanks for doing these. Fun to read back on them (probably only because I am leading again now )

why was there a game created with dean and me when there is still a chance that this will not be needed anymore this tournament?

That is not true.

• The game for Hour #26 is in Round 20, and deantursx's next move will be the last one of the game.
• wesleymilo, having 1 stamina point, will be eliminated if he places anything other than 1st (thus I didn't invite him).
• deantursx, with 2 stamina points, will only be eliminated if he places last. Even if he wishes to suicide - his cards nuke his 3 remaining stacks, and he manages to suicide his deploys such that he remains with just 7 regions with all 1's - it is impossible for his troop count to fall below wesleymilo's troop count of 4.
• Thus, he finishes in 2nd at worst, and has at least 1 stamina point remaining.

As such, the next game is necessary. However, whether jcarter1 or deantursx wins the game for Hour #26 does depend on the last turn .

OMG.. i forgot the round limit -_-

Hahaha, how did BOTH of you guys forget the round limit when it's been 9 games since the rule was implemented! Anyway...


Update

After a dramatic hour of dancing where the strongest dancer seemed to change all throughout, it was jcarter1 who managed to dance the most consistently while conserving the most energy, taking home the win for the hour, and holding on to his 5 stamina points.

With that, wesleymilo is eliminated from the tournament, while deantursx barely hangs on with just 1 stamina point.

At this juncture, jcarter1 just has to win 1 dance to win the tournament, while deantursx needs to win 3 dances in a row to win it all. The loss for deantursx in Hour #26 certainly was costly, as it gives jcarter1 the stamina to survive 2 games without risk of elimination, instead of just 1.

looks like game 1 drop already decided my fate. looking to go into game 2 almost for sure

Update

deantursx brings himself one step closer to snatching the tournament away from jcarter1, after a sound victory over his opponent. If he can continue his progress for 2 more games, the win for the Dance Club will be in his hands! At this point, the tournament is still jcarter1's to lose. Now going into Hour #28.

Update

The dance marathon for Paddy's Pub has at long last come to an end after 28 long hours (also known as 1 year and 7 months) of dancing. The last of the dancers has finally collapsed on the dance floor from lack of sleep and stamina - all except for jcarter1 (Gladys), who still holds up with 3 stamina points.

It was certainly a hard-fought tournament, and a very deserving win in the end. jcarter1 clocked up 13 wins out of his 28 games throughout the tournament, which includes 6 Keg-Off wins out of the 8 he participated in. Winning the tournament was certainly no fluke. Even more amazing is how jcarter1 has been on this site for only a month longer than this tournament has been running.

It brings me great pleasure to announce jcarter1's first tournament win - and I don't think it will be his last.


Congratulations jcarter1!

Yaaaaaay.... what a tournament. When I joined only a few days after joining this site, I never thought it would take this long *haha*. My strategy always was: As long as I am not eliminated first - and preferably last - I should be fine. Could not have dreamed of winning so many games overall. Thanks for rescuing and hosting this tournament ana!!! Truly a lot of fun!


btw - do I get one of those tournament achievement thingies now? That would be sweet

Well you fared very well, considering you joined with little CC experience under your belt! Which means the tournament has seen you ascend the ranks from a Private all the way to a Major! Kudos to you (:

Yep, that's a good strategy; in many tournaments, flying under the radar and purely playing for survival can sometimes get you further than a player who attempts to win every game. Just that you were fortunate enough to pick up those wins along the way as well!

And no problem, it was a pleasure for me to be able to rescue this tournament. After all, the players had invested so much time in it. Had a couple of bumps trying to iron the settings out at the start , but I'm glad it all worked out eventually . And yep, you'll be getting one of these once the Tournament Directors move this over to the Completed Tournaments! Congrats again!
