Survivors, (and interested viewers)

Ok, been a while since I've sent a message out. We've got an interesting turn of events going on right now, I thought I'd bring you all up to speed on it.

As you all should know you all have pretty much grouped yourselves into two major alliances. This is fine with me. I decided a long time ago there wouldn't have been anything I could do to prevent it anyway.

One alliance has taken stock of the current game situation and decided that one of theirs is going to lose this round. They have decided to take matters into their own hands and have a "Vote" to decide which of their alliance should go.

This is not an official tournament vote, and I am not changing the rules of the tourney. I consider this to be just a different form of internal alliance politics, so I am not going to get involved, other then as an impartial third party to count the votes for them.

If the person voted off tells me they wish to withdraw from the tourney, I will allow them to do so. I have never refused to allow anyone to quit before, and have not asked for an explanations, so I don't feel it's my duty to compel them to stay in this case. I don't consider it cheating or collusion, since they aren't gaining anything from "taking a dive". They will be out of the tournament. Despite your alliances, this tournament is ultimatly a solo event. There are no points for being on "the winning team".

The vote however is not binding. If the person voted off decides they aren't ready to leave, I will not compel them to quit. They can try to switch sides to the other alliance, or even go it alone. If they outLast at least one other player they will remain in the tourney into the next round.

The round will continue as normally, turns running every 36 hours or when all players have uploaded. Until someone has been eliminated, or tells me they wish to withdraw.

What happens if Player A is voted off and surrenders, and Player B gets wiped out, all in the same turn?

If player A withdraws from the game by notifying me by email or in one of the forums, the game is over at that point. No turn will need processed, and so noone will be able to get wiped out. If the turn happens to run before I get a chance to shut it down, the results of the turn will be ignored. In this case Player B will survive to the next round.

If Player A doesn't formally notify me of their intent to withwdraw, and does so by surendering to someone else in game, and on the same turn Player B is wiped out, both players will be eliminated. The same as if two players were wiped out on the same turn and neither surendered.

Not yet. They are still voting. Turns should continue as normal until and unless I tell you different. Don't assume the game is over and not do your turn or anything.

Auto turn processing seems to be stuck.

Auto turns for the server are off because of the server problem the other night. But it's been long enough so I am going to turn them back on now. Turn should run shortly.
