I'm registered!

Will it begin as soon as all 640 participants have joined? How will we know the games have started?

If you have your 'Game Settings' configured to send you an e-mail when [x] 'It's my opening turn in a Conquer Cup game (by email), you can find out that way!

If you ever do a 1v1 I will play--good luck to those who play.

It would be cool to see a 1vs1 tournament. Perhaps down the line there will be one, as we continue to experiment with formats and settings!

Why are guested players allowed to sign up?

by **Arcee** on Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:15 pm

Some people are listed as guests because they are on forum bans.

albiestar supposedly has an Indefinite Website Ban. Does $5 lift that?

by **ThrushAAX** on Thu Feb 02, 2012 4:28 pm

um, does this mean that the losers of the 1st round five player games are going to be playing each other again in their four player 2nd round game? I can't see how this is a good thing.

That I know nothing about.

Ok - I get the annoying extra tab on the left beneath game finder, but seriously we need a huge blue information bar as well as the annoucements page, home page, Facebook and twitter?

Can't you just update the damn thing on the left to conquer club II? Or make it blink when a new one opens until you click on it once to get our attn.

The information bar is super annoying @ top of our games page. Really.

He could have signed up before his ban. I signed up for this one a few months ago.

This is a good point that I think needs to be addressed. If the auto game making system works the way it did in the previous cup, then once the round 1 game ends the four losers will immediately be placed into a game with the same players for round 2. I think that this is undesirable and that the Round 2 pairings should be randomized. Was this considered at all when this was setup?

Albiestar pre-registered for Conquer Cup II back in November before his latest ban. No problem, though. I manually removed him from the tourney and refunded his registration fee.

Actually, it is intentional. It will be like a re-match 8-)

I'm registered for the Cup and it's still there. I can visit again, but it's there right now.

by **SimplyObsessed** on Thu Feb 02, 2012 7:38 pm

It shouldn't be there too long anyway, it's filling up VERY quickly. 446 people, was at 200-something earlier.

Fair enough, it stuck around for longer then one visit, but after about 15 mins it went away on my screen. I can handle that, i thought it'd be a permanent until it fills type fixture, which would have been super annoying.

Hey, a story.

by **usernamer** on Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:23 am

you should change the map - like do 2.1 or maybe a variety of popular maps imo.

No 2.1! You just want that because it's your best map. Some of us suck at that one, you know.

How about all the games on Poison Rome. That would be cool.
