"You're Eliminated" II [WINNER: StrG8611]

[zobots]

zobots beats lucky topher 2 games to one

[Godd]

ok we got 2 semi-finalists, 2 more to go

[pogophiles]

Kinnison should be along shortly to announce my elimination...

[zobots]

This tourney is indeed very fun. So far, I have happened to catch my opponent online, so all 3 games were over in a matter of 20 minutes once that happened.

It also looks like strg8611 is going to advance.

[Kinnison]

'Shortly' ???

yeah, tell it to the dice, pogophiles. i DO expect to be able to report it, but it may take a few more rounds, at this rate. the last two rounds, I've been brutally smacked, losing my superior forces against a wee 2 army strongpoint. so, fine. I'll go for the long grind.

[Kinnison]

Okay, shorter than I thought...

pogophiles... YOU'RE ELIMINATED!!!

Whew! What a fight... can't wait until we meet in edition III.

[pogophiles]

Good luck, Kinnison, and I'm sorry that you weren't able to defend you title, pogophiles.

[pogophiles]

Good luck, Kinnison, and I'm sorry that you weren't able to defend you title, pogophiles.

Oh, I defended the heck out of it -- just not successfully!

[Adam_Zappel]

Ok we are all ready for the next round. Bring me my next victim please!

[Godd]

ok will get the games and the charts updated in a hour or 2 once I get to my home computer with the tourney info on it.

Congrats to those of you that advanced into the semi-Finals

[Godd]

ok games are out and front page is updated

Have fun and good luck to all 4 of you

[Adam_Zappel]

First of all, I would like to thank Kinnison for finishing the games in one sitting; however, I am sorry:
KINNISON...

[zobots]

just waiting on StrG8611 ........nice use of subtlety there Adam

[zobots]

gg,

[Adam_Zappel]

I do not appreciate playing with a cheater....StrG8611. StrG8611 only signed up for the classic game, which is his map. I got a bad drop and terrible dice, but that was ok, because I thought I had the other two to go. However, StrG8611 waited until the first game was finishd and then proceeded to the second game...ANOTHER CLASSIC game which is HIS map. Keep in mind he waited for the outcome of the first game before starting the second one. Now he is waiting for the outcome of this one before starting my map. This is uncalled for, unsportsmanlike, and downright cheating. According to the rules at the beginning, you had 48 hours to start your games. StrG8611 did not start the second game until after 48 hours and has yet to start the third game. Give me your opinions, but in my opinion, I win by default.

[amazzony]

1. He is freemium, probably that's why he couldn't join games.

2. What does it matter which order you play them? Yes, of course, it is said in the rules like that. But that's it. Even if you two would have played your map second then in the end he would have on the third map anyway (he just won it before the third game).

Just my 2 cents

[BagwellTheGreat]

hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha
adam you're pathetic man just coz u lost doesn't mean that someone else is to blame BUT YOU. The guy is non premium if he didn't join the games in the order u wanted ,mylord , it's probably coz he didn't have a slot for it.
I vote everything is in order...

[Kinnison]

The Second-
Best of 3 Tournament or "You're Eliminated"

<SNIP>

I will send a PM out with the game numbers and password for each (you will have 48 hours to sign in or risk being replaced)

all players may join, however any non-premium players will need to have 3 open slots to play till end of tourney or untill "You're Elimintated"

I feel for the freemium player, but the rules are pretty clear on that point.

1: there was a violation.
2: Adam_Zappel does NOT win by default.

By the rules, the championship match (entire, or perhaps only the remaining 2 games not joined within 48 hours... Adam's home and the tiebreaker) should be played by the first reserve, Godd himself. Thoroughly unsatisfying answer for everyone... which unfortunately is usually a pretty good indicator that it's fair. Bleh.

[amazzony]

Actually, there's one more thing that nobody mentioned.

From Godd's post:
"(you will have 48 hours to sign in or risk being replaced)"

Were there any complaints from Adam after 48 hours? Or did he start complaining after he lost both games?

He wasn't replaces so I see no braking of the rules here. Yes, he joined the games in wrong order and not as fast as he was hoped to but again - did he get a warning about it? Why wasn't he replaced when he "broke the rules"?
