Bump.

Advancing from Imperium:

Leif_Syverson
Drano019

Now that the Imperium game is concluded and I am eliminated, I will be leaving this site. I will be finishing my current games, but I will not be dealing with the tournament anymore. I'm sure that people can take charge of making sure the remaining games get started.

I'm sure the 9 of us can figure it out. Thanks a lot for setting this up, its been great fun so far.

Thanks gman.. You will be missed around here!

Thanks for everything gman! Come back some time soon!

bump game ended. very good game lots of good competition, hard fought to the end.

beaulemioux, captainmeme and jimbozig going forward to join drano and leif in ancient med. mylaan, ender, gantz and bozo for the rat wars game.

Apologies, Ender, for the stab. That was a very good game, all!

I will set up the AncMed now and send out the password.

Passwords have been sent out.
gameID=12087

The competition continues! Good luck to the 9 who remain!

Rat Wars:
gameID=12092

Bump.

Well, Rat Wars looks interesting. I wish we could see what's going on. It should be a good battle to the finish!

The AncMed Round has finished, with Drano and Beaulemioux securing their places in the final and Jimbozig, Lief and I going to the Second Chance round. I wonder who will be joining us...

Also, here's the current standings of the remaining nine:

Beaulemioux: Played 6, Won 5

Drano019: Played 6, Won 5

Jimbozig: Played 6, Won 5

Lief_Syverson: Played 6, Won 4

Captainmeme: Played 5, Won 4

Gantz: Played 5, Won 4

Bozo: Played 5, Won 3

Ender: Played 5, Won 3

MyLAAN: Played 5, Won 2

After the Rat Wars battle, what is the next variant to be played?

I found this, I don't think it changed:

"
Top 3 of Classic and top 2 of Imperium play Ancient Med, losers from Classic Rat wars.

Top 2 of AncMed gets to play Hundred, while the winner of Rat Wars (rats fight till the end!) play loser from AncMed in yet another Rat Wars, whose winner gets to Hundred.

Winner of Hundred is winner since we don't want to play 2 player maps and so the double elimination is eliminated from the final step ;)
"

So there is one more Rat Wars before the final?

So just to clarify, winner of the current Rat Wars advances to another Rat Wars with Captainmeme, myself and Jimbozig, and the winner of that Rat Wars then advances to the Hundred game (the final) with BeauLemioux and drano019, the winner of which (no draws allowed then?) is the WhittleDown tournament winner.

Has this any of this record (standings, outcomes, process, etc.) been posted on that tournaments wiki page you had kaner? (or is that why you are asking?) What is that wiki page address again? I apparently didn't bookmark it.

I basically copied and pasted the forum overview into it, added an introduction and rules, and an explanation of the Rat Wars rounds. It could use a bit of improvement though.

I've added a load of information about this tournament and player statistics in the wiki. If anyone wants to edit the 'Forum Overview' section to actually give rules rather than just quoting a forum post, it would be much appreciated.

Love your work!

Way to go Captainmeme! Excellent additions to the wiki! Especially love the stat chart!

I can't believe this started roughly one year ago, and it's not over yet.

Bump. Just keeping this alive. : )

Bump. Hang in there guys, we're slowly finishing the bloody Rat Wars!

May the best Rat win! Aaaaaaand then win again! Hurry up already, us people in the winner's bracket are getting bored : p

lol this is the longest tournament ever! hope someone is planning on having a second one eventually, I want to try my luck again!

Bump. Rat Wars finished not long ago, with a solo from Bozo.

This means that that the players in this Rat Wars are:

Bozo
Jimbozig
Lief_Syverson
Captainmeme

With Drano and Beaulemioux through to the final. Is everyone in this round happy to start it soon?
