Drags missed invite for a second time, but he PM'd me with an explanation so I renewed it for a third time.
iwillrocku, opposites., Showt3k, and bulletdodger have refused and/or let invites expire two times with no explanation, so I won't bother re-inviting them until I hear whether they are staying in the tourney or what is going on.
8870046, 8870044, 8870038, 8870035, 8870029 and 8870025 are still missing players because of the round 1 games that aren't finished. Not much I can do about that. DJ, you might want to think about a deadlock rule for them.
Ok duka, thank you for that
Sorry all for being away those last days. I'm now back to work
About the deadlock, we knew about it but it is only for the two round in ACT I. I'm sure it won't be the same in ACT II as it's 8 players games.
Maybe those players will play the second round quicker.

In fact, you accumulate your points for you and/or your team. But to qualify for ACTII, you must finish 1st or second in ACT I round 2.
As an example, a player who finish first in round 1 and round 2 and can hold the special objective in round 2 will score 30 points in total. (that's the maximum possible).

- when it is his turn in round 3
- when the game in total goes to round 4 (wich in our case is directly after his turn - so yes we screwed up
)
- or when it is his turn in round 4 (which makes sense counting he had it at start - that would mean he had it exactly 3 rounds from the first time he played)
Once writing, another question; can a 2nd person win the same objective (some rounds later with still min 3 players in the game) ... and automatically become 2nd?
thx
Stefan
It's 3 entire rounds!!! so nobody can win when it his turn in round 3.... will be start of round 4 minimum...
Once a special objective is held, nobody else can win the same bonus.
dexterdexter wrote:good question, I think the simplest answer to the first question , regarding the period of time would be, It's round 3 and I just took paris, I ended my turn. When it's my turn in the 4'th round, I've held Paris for 1 round! Round 6 , it's my turn ,I STILL hold paris and never lost it, I am the winner. What happens thought if round 5 starts, the first to act takes Paris, and then my turn comes and I take it back? Does the counter reset?
Yes, exactly, the counter reset to zero and u start again trying to hold it for 3 rounds

Escalating games are less likely to deadlock, yes, and they go faster.
The one downfall of escalating is that it makes the map irrelevant. Escalating strategy is escalating strategy; it's played the same way on every map. This is a great tournament because it has a theme -- you are supposed to actually care about the map and think about the places that the characters in Verne's books visisted. To make the map important, you have to go flat rate or no spoils, and of the two I think flat rate is better.
I know a lot of people have been bugging DJENRE to switch to escalating, but I hope he doesn't give in. There are plenty of escalating tournaments to choose from. This is a tournament about the maps, and we all knew that when we signed up.
I can say better!!! Thank you DUka for this nice explanation
