Jules Verne Contest [Complete]

Nordic Nations -- 4 active games remain
Iceland -- 1 active game remains
USA -- 4 active games remain
Lunar -- all 8 games still active

So, it looks like Iceland will be the first to have all games finish, and we will compile the stats for that one.

Adding it all up I get 10 for Sunny and 19 for Foggy. Almost 2-1 is a pretty convincing display of preference. Foggy it is.

Iceland
I'm starting the games for Act II Round 1 Map 2 (Iceland). I realize a few of the freemiums may have problems with not having an empty slot, but other freemiums have reserved a slot for this purpose, and I worry that if I don't start these games now the problem will actually get worse, not better. So, if you have an empty slot please join quickly, and then we'll work with the ones that don't and see if we can get them in within a realistic time.

This is the second part of the Journey to the Centre of the Earth group. Once Professor Lidenbrock/Hardwigg gets to Iceland, he gets to the centre of the earth through the Snæfellsjökull volcano.
The bonus on the Iceland map is Snaefell. Capture it and hold it for three rounds.

1865 From the earth to the moon De la terre à la lune
1870 Around the moon Autour de la lune
From the Earth to the Moon tells the story of the president of a post-American Civil War gun club in Baltimore, his rival, a Philadelphia maker of armor, and a Frenchman, who build an enormous sky-facing Columbiad space gun and launch themselves in a projectile/spaceship to the Moon.

The map played is USA, and the bonus is for holding BOTH Maryland and Pennsylvania for 3 rounds. I interpret this to mean that you must hold both Maryland and Pennsylvania simultaneously. All other rules of the special bonuses still apply. Normally I try to put a description of the bonus in the game label, but in this case it was just too long, so the game label just says to look in the tournament thread.

Dukasaur wrote:I am starting the games for Act II, Round 1, Map 1. There is still one game going in Act 1 Round 2, but one person (djelebert) from that game is already advancing, so that leaves only one person to settle, and I know some of you are getting anxious to get on with this. So we will begin, and hopefully game 8870045 will be settled soon, either by someone winning or by a deadlock-breaking rule.

Now, on with the show!

Act II round 1 will feature 9 maps covering four Jules Verne novels. The first novel we will be enacting is one of my favourites, Journey to the Centre of the Earth
or Voyage au centre de la terre in the original French.
The story involves a German professor (Otto Lidenbrock in the original French, Professor Von Hardwigg in the most common English translation) who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the center of the Earth, presumably one of which is Snæfellsjökull in Iceland.

We will play 2 maps to enact this novel. In the first, we will use the Nordic Nations map to get to Iceland, and in the second we will use the Iceland map to get to Snæfellsjökull.

DJENRE's original intent was to play 3 maps at a time during this phase, but I think with so many freemiums in the tourney I don't want to try for that just yet. I'll start map 1 first, and once all these games are underway I'll start map 2 and see how many freemiums are willing and able to free up a slot. Maybe we'll get to 3 maps before Act II is over.

The bonus on the Nordic Nations map is Iceland. In order to score the bonus, you need to capture the entire Iceland bonus zone and hold it for two rounds. In other words, collect the 2 bonus troops for Iceland on 2 consecutive rounds.

Other than the special bonus on each map, the normal scoring on all Act II maps will be:
DJENRE wrote:For each game, points are given as follow:
1st = 10pts - 2nd = 8pts - 3rd =6pts - 4th =4pts - 5th =3pts - 6th =2pts - 7th =1pt - 8th =0pt

The games have been created and I will start inviting you into your games immediately after posting this. I will also PM out a copy of it.

Claiming bonus for USA map ... I had PA in round 1, picked up MD in round 8, and held them both through my turn in round 12. We also still have 6 players remaining.

May need to wait for the fog to lift to confirm with the other players on the map, but severs just took PA and MD from me last turn.

PPS - it's pretty hard to follow if anyone got the bonus and not claimed it in game chat, like the couple of cases that we saw on Iceland games (I saw it there because the special bonus was just 1 territory), so please, everyone recheck your game and claim your bonus (if you had it) in game chat and here too.

Bonuses FAQ

by **Dukasaur** on Tue Jul 26, 2011 3:01 am

All of the Iceland games are done, most of the Nordics, and half of the USAs. Therefore, I think it's time we tried to start the next map!

The Adventures of Captain Hatteras was part of a series which also included Journey to the Centre of the Earth and From the Earth to the Moon that we have already explored. This is one that I've never read, and anything I could say about it would simply involve plagiarizing Wikipedia, so I'll just give you the wikipedia link instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Captain_Hatteras

We will play two maps representing this book, Arctic and Greenland. On Arctic the bonus is to hold the Ice Cap for two rounds (the whole Ice Cap) and on Greenland the bonus is to hold all 3 passes for 3 rounds (that one sounds damn near impossible without winning the game, but hey, maybe somebody will pull it off!)

As always I expect some of our freemium players won't have an available slot. As long as you are trying to free up a slot and are communicating then I will work with you and will not abruptly boot you from the tournament. I'm trying to be as co-operative as possible here, and I'm only booting people for missing invites if they either haven't been on CC for a long time or if they don't seem to be showing any interest in freeing up a slot any time soon.

It's official now! Pandemonium is now assistant TO!

Most of you already know Pandemonium as one of your tougher opponents.

Now you can know him as the scorekeeper! For the last week or so, Pandemonium has been helping me get the spreadsheet and the individual scoreboards are all now completely caught up. Last night I wrote to the TDs and had him officially appointed as the assistant TO.

Please join me in welcoming him to his new role!

Welcome aboard, and thank you for your help, Pan!

You can see in my profile that I'm kinda noob here on conquerclub.com , but I'm not new to the game.
As I said, I love stats & tables so I'm glad I can help.

I guess only those with Mare in the name. No idea what was DJ's original intention, but it seems we will have the fewest arguments if we just limit it to that.
