It is the first Verne novel in which he perfected the "ingredients" of his later work, skillfully mixing a plot full of adventure and twists that hold the reader's interest with passages of technical, geographic, and historic description. The book gives readers a glimpse of the exploration of Africa, which was still not completely known to Europeans of the time, with explorers traveling all over the continent in search of its secrets. (Source : wikipedia)

But once in the tournament and if you qualify for next round, make sure you have enough spot left.

Question:
If the fourth member of our team doesn't show up and is replaced with a reserve, will we be able to recruit a reserve to our team?

If a reserve doesn't show in the tournament, FIRST reserve in the list will replace him . If we run out of reserves, yes you could.

[DJENRE]

PM # 3 : [NOTE 1] about freemium problems for joining has been sent to all players including reserves

[hun1]

In game # 8662638, it seems we were assigned only 3 players

[DJENRE]

Third reserve activated instead Bonzifan

I invited four players to each game. However, quite a few have failed to accept their invitations. Some of these are freemiums who don't currently have a slot open, and DJENRE wants to be patient and give them a day or two to get out of their other commitments before giving their spot to a reserve.

No, I don't think I phrased the question correctly.

I totally agree that spots should be filled by reserves in the order they signed up, that is perfectly correct. What I'm saying is, if a reserve comes in (without a team) can we ask him to join our team?

[Hook2]

Game 8662689
Our games has not started as 1 person failed to join. Of note he was a premium member.

Thanks,
Hook

[Dukasaur]

Kali86 has now refused his invite twice, and is therefore disqualified. Reserve severs has been activated to replace him.

[DJENRE]

Kali86 refused his invite for a second time. I have activated the reserve severs to replace him.

We have another problem. Game 8662634 has an invite to the player Craig. Craig only visited once, in 2006, and joined only one game. There must be some mistake.

DJENRE

I have 2 that want to join as a team and possibly 2 more. Do you have any room for another Team? If we, don't get 2 more, just payers us with another double. I will keep you posted.

Players:

geko
TX AG 90

Thanks

[Dukasaur]

Game 8662634 has an invite to the player Craig. Craig only visited once, in 2006, and joined only one game. There must be some mistake.

This one has been straightened out successfully. The correct player in the tournament should have been Craig25. He was incorrectly listed as Craig in the list of players. I have sent an invite to Craig25.

[Dukasaur]

I have disqualified three more players who have rejected their game invites and/or let them expire twice or in a couple cases three times. Three reserves are being activated.

growler replaces hitfan
Bandido replaces astrid16
Pezter replaces chicofr


DJENRE please update the reserves list.. It is getting shorter...

Also, Mishalex is still listed among the reserves but is already playing, needs to come out of reserves list and into players list.

Do you want to put TXAG and geko on the list next? I think we might have two more openings.

[Dukasaur]

There are two players who have let their invites expire two or more times, but I have made exceptions for them and invited them again.

Kabalistik and dementia13 are freemium players stuck in 4 games. They have now let their Jules Verne invites expire twice, but I did NOT disqualify them because I reviewed the games they are in and see that they are making an honest effort in those games to get themselves killed.

Keep trying, gentlemen, and I will renew your invites one more time if necessary. If anybody is in games with them, please do the right thing and administer the coup de grace, thank you...

[Dukasaur]

Okay, I think we're on the right track now. 62 of 64 games have started.

Only growler and kabalistik need to join, and growler was just invited for the first time today.
