Let's stick with the fog - it's been that way for the duration of the tournament ...

Foggy vs. Sunny vote result:
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.

Hi
I have 3 free spots.

Well, so far so good. All but one of the Iceland games started with no drama. opposites. was the only player that couldn't accept his invite, but this is not his fault, it's because of the Nordic Nations game that was restarted.

Below you will find the game log of Game 9145019

I, Kennys777, have held Iceland and received the bonus for rounds 12 and 13. I was the first player to do it, therefore I am claiming my bonus points for this game. I have highlighted the round numbers and the actual bonuses received by me...

Good job, kennys!

BTW, you could always put the log extracts in spoiler tags, as below. Not a big deal, but it keeps things a tiny bit tidier.

Hi
I have 3 free spots.

I think you're the only one. We got 2 games going without much difficulty, but I'm not going to tempt fate by trying for 3.

I play Nordic and Iceland right now, and I have 1 more free slot - for now

Just in the last few days, we're finally seeing some eliminations in the Nordic games. Maybe I'll try to get the next game going by Saturday.
