Gecko has pulled out due to RL. What does this mean for our Bash? If it is over (as I would now assume) can I see his empire to judge how I was going?

Gecko's withdrawal also unfortunatly affects Baron Grazic as it leaves him without a final game opponent.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yes, makes it awkward. I suppose, without thinking about it too much...that he could receive a bye (with no rating adjustment) and be counted as a win. Though not strictly correct, it may "tie the package up" a bit. Kinda like counting the bye as a forfeit.

that sounds fair. advance him with 0 score

In my opinion, one of the main reasons for playing was the "forced" matches with various opponents that one may never have played (otherwise). And for each completed game, there was/is a Ratings adjustment. Completing the tournement in a certain position is nice but having gained rating points is really the most important when all is done and said.

Yeah, I'll leave it up to you Slynky as far as Ratings. For the tournament, Baron get's a bye and the 8th place finish. That doesnt' really count for anything but bragging rights. Currently I have Gecko listed as 14th, but I will probably end up dropping him and bumping everybody below him up a notch.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well I suppose I can't complain. I consider myself an average player, which my rating and finishing 8th out of 16 seems to prove.
I would have prefered winning my 4th match however, but now that just means I'll have time for another game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
