So how goes the Tournie?

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

AFAIK it's going pretty good. We've had one player drop out and the second chance rule came into play. So we still waiting on a empire to lose or another player to drop. We are currently at 2402.7. Any more details Geo will have to answer.

One round 2 game has finished. Someone didn't read the rule about taking out the PBW admins and eliminated LazarusLong. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The other game looks to be moving along nicely. As soon as it finishes we will start round 3.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL!! I'll make sure to invoke that rule in the next Survivor Tourney http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Seriously, though... they got me fair and square... and good. Having three people's ships converging on your homeworld is an interesting, if not pretty, sight... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

We will hunt you down like a dog.

Hahahaha

Re: "Survivor 2" Round 10 is about to start
 

Round 2 is over. We had another player eliminated by rule for missing three consecutive turns with no notice in the forum. Congradulations all who survived. The round 3 games are set up and you will have one week to get joined approved and your empire uploaded.

I know of at least one person who will be taking an extended leave during the early part of round 3. Make sure that if you are going to miss three turns in a row or more that you post something in the game forum for your round 3 game. Sending me an email is fine too, but please do not rely soley on an email to me. Email is unreliable. Posting in the forum is the only way to guarantee you won't lose your spot due to absence.

I have had some requests to take a break over the holidays. Sorry, but we aren't going to be doing that. I understand some people may not like this, but it's something I made perfectly clear to everyone before the start of round 1. You have the option of finding a replacement or allowing the AI to play your turns in your absence. But the games will go on.

Minor rule change. Starting resources will be 100,000, and starting planets will be good. This should give you a small nudge early on and get the games moving a little faster. Could make for some interesting situations for anyone starting close together. Do you ally together, or go for a quick kill?

Round three signups are well underway. Those that have not signed up yet have until Thursday morning EST to do so. We are still waiting on five players to apply to join. And a few that have signed up have not uploaded their empires yet.

We do have an unusual circumstance that I want to make everyone aware of. Askan made a post in the round two game forum that he would be out of town from the 29th to the 13th. I had hoped he would get my message about round 2 ending before he left town, but apparently he didn't. I stated at the begining of the tourney if this happened and I was aware of the absence up front I would make allowance for it. I will be playing Askan's empire for the first few turns. When he returns from vacation he can take it back over. I am not on par with Askan, but I think I can do better than the AI. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

EDIT: Correction. Only waiting on two player to apply for round 3. Forgot we had a few withdraw between round 1 and 2. Total number of players left in the tourney at this point is 28.
