OP if the person who plays as the Phantoms ever leaves, can you pm me I'll join. But I only want the Phantoms, so put me as reserve I guess

[Optimus Prime]

I'll keep that in mind, but I highly doubt that vexx is going anywhere.

Wow, it's been a long time since I had an update for all of you. Goodness!

Well, the standings have been updated, and it looks like almost everyone has reached the 50 games completed mark. There won't be any new games for a little while while we have an All-Star Game. I will be taking the Top 2 games in each division and putting them into a Quads game.

At the finish of that game we will start up the final 30 games of the season and make a strong push to the playoffs. I'll be making up the All-Star Game sometime this weekend once I double check to make sure nobody can catch the division leaders in the last couple games.

Enjoy a brief break from large numbers of games and hopefully the final portion of the season will be nice and competitive.

Regards, Optimus Prime

I haven't posted an update of my set of games because I've got one still running, in round 20. It looks like it would go on a lot longer, but pmaxon just missed a turn, so I'll close it out soon.
Did you want me to post the other games? It looks like you already have them listed.

Also, what's the all-star game?

Nope, I've got them all, no worries there.

I got a little busy unexpectedly this weekend. It was the wife's birthday and I had to put her first.

I'll be doing the All-Star Game this evening. Likely to be a large map of some type. (probably NOT World 2.1) in a Quads game configuration.

Well, I finally got around to doing a nice big update to the standings this morning. That means you can all see where you stand and what kind of work you have to do to make it to the playoffs over the final 30 games of the season. You can see that for the most part it is still anyone's game to clinch a spot as the races are pretty tight within each division.

The All-Star Game almost has all of the Western Conference teams in, and then I'll notify the Eastern Conference.

Enjoy the break, and we'll be back to regular season game action as soon as the All-Star game concludes.

Regards, Optimus Prime

I'm doing a standings update at the moment, and I have just notified the Eastern Conference teams to join the All-Star game now that all Western Conference teams are in.

Regards, Optimus Prime

[Optimus Prime]

The final Eastern Conference team has been reminded to join the All-Star Game.

[Optimus Prime]

I have some bad news. I need to take a short leave of absence from CC while I deal with some issues regarding my extended family and while I deal with semester finals. I have updated all of my tournaments as of today (April 8th). All players who needed reminders have had their reminders sent, all standings are updated as of today, and most of you should have plenty of games to keep you busy for the next two weeks.

My goal is to return sooner, but at the very latest I will return on April 20th to run all of my updates and get things running again. I realize that this will leave some of you without new games for a little while, but please bear with me as I get these things sorted out so that I can provide you with the best tournaments possible. I would rather take a break and get the drama sorted out in real life so that it doesn't spill over to CC.

If you have any need of a Tournament Director while I am gone, please feel free to contact Steelhorse or Night Strike and they'll get you taken care of just fine.

I thank you all in advance for your understanding and patience. I'll do my best to be back a little bit early.

Regards, Optimus Prime

The All Star Game Was won by the Western Division, in 8 rounds.

[Optimus Prime]

Alright, I'm back! Yay!

Anyways, it does look like the All-Star Game came to a timely finish while I was gone with the Western Conference emerging victorious! Way to go guys, I hope it was a good game.

Now, on to the more important things. We have 30 games remaining in the regular season, and so from this point on we will not be finding a replacement player for anyone who does not show up for a game. If the game expires without starting because one player has not shown up it will simply count as a forfeit from this point on. There is no use in finding a replacement to play a small number of games as it won't be fair to the remaining players if that replacement were to make the playoffs for some reason.

I will be creating games and sending them out throughout the day, so join up quick, and let's finish this thing off!
