Ok it looks like 3 of the 4 brackets are on their last game of Round 1. French Indochina is a little behind, so we'll just start the doubles team games that don't involve them first.

The top two scorers of each bracket will advance to Round 2. I'll announce those advancing and send a PM once it is determined.

[FarangDemon]

French Indochina are still playing Round 1, but I've created the two Round 2 games that don't involve them, so technically, we're in Round 2.

Best of luck to both Siam and the Colonial Powers.

Round 2 Update: SIAM: 2 COLONIAL POWERS: 0

[FarangDemon]

Ok French Indochina are on their last game of round 1(hopefully).

You mean round 2, right?

This must be a typo!!!

I'm hoping they finish the first round by halloween.
i put it at a 50-50 chance.

While I initially laughed out loud, I think you may be correct. Halloween is only about 90 days away and there is a 75% chance that we will need another tie-breaker, presuming that the current game (Game 6) ever ends.

If one guy wins, we need a 3-way tie-breaker.
If one of two guys wins, we need a 4-way tie-breaker.
If the remaining guy wins, we are ready to move on.

I will make the tiebreaker map be ridiculously small to force a quick game because it is far past the point of ridiculous.

I take some of the blame for choosing Eastern Hemisphere for an escalating game. Hard to kill a player if they have some guys hiding in Australia.

My initial reaction was to NOT laugh out loud! but to quietly hang my head and whimper. inconsolably of course.
My second reaction was to compose this reply.
My third and final reaction was to select the "Submit" button.

What a game - Game 5158531. Didn't think one of these could go past round 13. But as it only goes up by 5's, I guess it kinda evens out.

This one isn't escalating , but still crazy: Game 4814519

I've created a tiebreaker for round 6. Use this idle time to sharpen your strategic knives.

[ksslemp]

what map will we be playing once our game starts?

[FarangDemon]

what map will we be playing once our game starts?

You'll be playing doubles against French Indochina in French Indochina, then quads on each of:

Bamboo Jack
Eastern Hemisphere
World 2.0
Asia
Europe 1914

If ZionT beats Nash in Madagascar, there will be no need for another tiebreaker. Otherwise it will be 4 ppl battling it out in Luxembourg. Bring the noise-makers and party hats.

[FarangDemon]

Nash has overcome in Madagascar, forcing a 4-way tiebreaker for 2nd place representative for French Indochina. The following directive for your spectating enjoyment:

You are all tied at one point each. Please join the first round tiebreaker. May the strongest frog conquer neighboring and defenseless Luxembourg to represent his country's ruthless colonial ambitions.
