Macbeth (Scotland) - Complete 2. Hamlet (Kingdom of Denmark) - Complete These guys *spoiler alert* leave a trail of bodies behind them as they go on their tragic missions ā so 1 point for every kill you make.5 Player standard 3. Julius Caesar (Poison Rome) - Complete 4. King Lear (Kingās Court) - Complete Lot of dead bodies here too, but at least the killerās not the hero ā if you win the game, and survive the carnage, you get 5 points.6 Player Doubles 5.

Romeo & Juliet (Italy) - Complete Youāll get randomly assigned your sweetheart ā unlike in the plays, your mission is to kill off all the other star-crossād lovers , 3 points each for the successful couple who wins.

Round 2: History (24 players) - COMPLETE
show
This round is set in the medieval universe of Shakespeareās history plays, which feature the battles of Englandās great kings. The 24 players will be divided into 3 groups of 8 (with the top 9 scorers from round 1 seeded). Then there will be a round robin as everyone plays each other from their group once, in a polymorphic match on one of CCās medieval maps. Iāve assigned each game History play names just for the hell of it, but they donāt have any significance. 1. Kingās Court II (Poly 2) ā Richard II - Complete 2. Draknor (Poly 2) ā Henry IV Part I - Complete 3. Feudal (Poly 3) ā Henry IV Part II - Complete 4. Castle Lands (Poly 3) ā King John - Complete 5. Siege! (Poly 3) ā Richard III - Complete 6. Feudal Epic (Poly 4) ā Henry V - Complete 7. Middle Ages (Poly 4) ā Henry VIII - Complete Scores are re-set from round 1, and you get 1 point for each victory ā and at the end of the round, the bottom 3 players of each group are eliminated (tiebreaker is Round 1 score, then head-to-head result), so 5 from each group qualify.Group Falstaff - Complete ironmanbravo.....7 giannikas...........4 littlemao............4 karats ................4 TX AG 90...........3 ------------------- william tennant...3 (Eliminated) iAmCaffeine........3 (Eliminated) BarryMc96.........0 (Eliminated) Group Bardolph - Complete redspyder........6 kgb007...........5 Silly Knig-It.....4 osok68............4 dukasaur..........4 ------------------- epicgb..............3 (Eliminated) drake_Pk7........2 (Eliminated) ashers.................0 (Eliminated) Group Pistol - Complete sjemba.............6 Leverpuller........5 chidone.............4 muti.................4 MyTurntoWin....4 ------------------- tismypueblo.....3 (Eliminated) Risk_Averse......2 (Eliminated) Krazee-EyezKilla...0 (Eliminated)
Round 3: Comedy (15 players) - COMPLETE
show
Shakespeareās comedies are all about confusion, mistaken identity and hilarious misunderstandings. So this round will be all in the fog, and in addition youāll have to play with some of the more unusual settings to see if you can keep your wits about you. There will be 6 plays to take part in (all 5 player), with the following special settings:Comedy of Errors (Madness) ā Zombie, Parachute - Complete Merry Wives of Windsor (England) ā Nuclear, No reinforcement - Complete Merchant of Venice (Tribal War - Ancient Israel) ā Assassin, Escalating, Unlimited - Complete Midsummer Nightās Dream (Oasis) ā Assassin, Escalating, No reinforcement - Complete The Tempest (Austrum) ā Escalating, Parachute - Complete Winterās Tale (Antarctica) ā Escalating, Adjacent - Complete The 2 non-escalating games will have a 20 round limit. The winner of each game gets 7 points, and these points are added to your Tragedy score from Round 1 ā the top 8 players go through to the final. Tibreaker is your Round 2 score.Scores - Tragedy + Comedy TX AG 90..........32 redspyder.........26 osok68............24 ironmanbravo....23 karats .............21 Leverpuller.......20 MyTurntoWin....18 kgb007...........17 ------------------------------Elimination chidone............16 (Eliminated) dukasaur..........13 (Eliminated) giannikas...........10 (Eliminated) littlemao............10 (Eliminated) Silly Knig-It......7 (Eliminated) muti.................4 (Eliminated) sjemba..............3 (Eliminated)
