Game 4372587
won by slickstick

by **saraith** on Thu Apr 16, 2009 7:02 am

Scores from leg 1 are still coming in, and Leg 2 scores are starting to come in now...

Standings updated!

If the games continue at this pace, I expect leg 3 to begin about the 2nd week of May, and if the trend holds, the tourney to be wrapped up by late summer-ish

** Be advised, there will be no time limit, as I did not get enough people saying yes. In fact, I had a very strong arguement against it, which I happen to support, now that I think about it some. **

Happy Sailing Everyone!!!

Standings Updated!

I had to take away points from some folks because they had deadbeated out of their games, and per tournament rules, they recieve 0 points for deadbeating out of games.

That said, congrats to our new leader, falcon85!

falcon is expanding his lead in leg 2 (and overall) but there are still a bunch of games left, so it's still anyone's to win!

I will be creating the match-ups and games for Leg 3 soon, but I will not send them out 'till both legs are completely finished

shoop76 becomes the new leader for leg 2 =D>

, while falcon85 still leads overall

game 4571485

won by katyrush

by **saraith** on Thu May 21, 2009 12:01 pm

shoop is our new overall leader!

only 9 games left in leg2

I'm learning a few things from this, my first tourney... such as 12 games per person might be too many, and no spoils games can take forever (right abel

)

the next one won't be quite so heavy on the gameload.

Game 4571411

A couple of things that I'd like to mention.
1) blindmatt is no longer a Premium, and although I haven't been in contact with him to ask if he's still in, not having Premium disqualifies him anyway. I will be activating a reserve, or failing that, I will take his place myself.
2) While browsing through game chat logs, I noticed that there are some (myself included, actually) that don't have the "stomach" for drawn-out games, particularly the ones with no spoils and fog.
What are your thoughs on making the No Spoils games Terminator instead of Standard?

Please post here, or PM me. I will make my decision based on the answers that I get.
That's all for now..

Happy Sailing, everyone

I'm would support any measures taken to speed up those aweful no spoils games where there are no attacks for 10 or more rounds, and then when a player does attack someone, somebody else gets mad for someone making a move and handing another player the game.

by **falcon85** on Thu Jun 04, 2009 1:56 pm

While I agree that anything to speed up the games is good, I am not sure that turning them into terminator games is the answer as I think you would still just have them drawn out. I would recommend either going to 8 games per round for the remaining rounds and eliminating the no spoils games or stay at 12 and just make 6 escalating and 6 flat rate games.
