[Dukasaur]

rubilion, thehippo8, and what,me worry? all missed their first invite into their map 10, map 11, and map 12 games.

ZionT managed to join one of them but missed the other two...

Most of those invites have been re-sent, except for the hippo's. I know he won't be back any time soon, so I'm replacing him immediately. Our last reserve, wi1bert, is called up to active duty.

One more Tour Stats dump before I leave for my camping trip.

Only 20 active games left.

The dreaded day when I will have to actually add up the result draws closer.

[Dukasaur]

I accidentally forgot to include a round limit when creating the Moguls games. The round limit will have to be enforced manually.
Game 12847922, situation at the end of round 50.

Does this mean we are closer to that dreaded day?
I'm killing myself over here trying to figure out if my group will move on.

We're very close. All the remaining Hive games are almost at the round limit, which will leave only one problematic City Mogul game.

[Armandolas]

dont have some estimate results?

We're very close. All the remaining Hive games are almost at the round limit, which will leave only one problematic City Mogul game.

And that last Mogul game should have been won 10 rounds ago, but a certain player who shall remain nameless seems to not understand 3 player strategy, and keeps trying to fight both opponents at once instead of killing the weak one quick and then being free to focus on the stronger one. If a game which should have ended on round 25 goes to round 50 I'm going to seriously bang my head against a wall.

If you're speaking of the game i think you are, it's finally over.

Nope. The other one.

[Dukasaur]

I'm hoping that all games will be done within the next week, and I will be able to compile scores and launch the next round on Labour Day weekend.

Hoping. Not an ironclad guarantee.

w00t! Last game in Phase 3 ended 5 hours ago, right on schedule! Congrats Ole Cowboy Hippy!

Computing Phase 3 scores now.

[Dukasaur]

Phase 3 scores:
Link to Phase 3 score spreadsheet

Summary of Phase 3 results:

The winning groups are:
Group ix: GIVE ME GLACIATION OR GIVE ME DEATH! 149 pts.
MVP= [player]cptbeefalo[/player] with 30 pts.
Group vii: THOSE ABOUT TO STING, SALUTE YOU! 121 pts.
MVP= [player]jonofperu[/player] with 28 pts.
Group v: AL GORE FAN CLUB 106 pts.
MVP= [player]MGSteve[/player] with 22 pts.
Group iv: LIST OF DEGENERATE SOULS 94 pts.
MVP= (tie)[player]Donelladan[/player] and [player]DoomYoshi[/player] with 24 points each.

[Dukasaur]

A brief refresher of how it works:[spoiler=Phase 4 and 5 rules from original post]Subject: Your Favourite Way for the World to End [Phase 3]

After Phase 3 the eight groups with the fewest total points will be eliminated, and their Doomsday scenario deemed insufficiently dangerous. Four groups of eight players will remain. In each group, the player who brought home the most points in Phase 3 will be declared the group's MVP and receive a GA medal!

Your Phase 3 score will also impact Phases 4 and 5 in other ways, so all in all it is an extremely important phase!

Phase 4: Each group will now divide into two Quads teams. The MVP will be the captain of the A team and the highest-ranking player who is not the MVP will be the captain of the B team. The two captains will choose their teams in alternating schoolyard fashion. PMs will be sent with greater detail once Phase 4 has begun. Delaying a scheduled pick by more than 24 hours will result in a forfeit of your choice and have a random player assigned to your team.

Once the teams are chosen, they will play a best-of-three series on their group's map for the right to represent their group in the finals.

Phase 5A: The four surviving groups and the Quads teams that have emerged from them will be placed in a four team bracket. The team who collectively scored the most points in Phase 3 will get a special bonus: they will decide which team they want to face first, and thus define the bracket for all four.

Each match in the bracket will be five games: two on each team's home map, plus one map randomly chosen from among the maps of the eight groups that have been eliminated.

Phase 5B: The winners of the matches in 5A will face off for the final right to destroy the world, and some more medals!

Colonel Donelladan is the highest-ranked player in this group and will captain the B team.
DoomYoshi is tied with Donelladan for MVP with 24 pts each. I was going to make them play a tiebreaker game, but since Donelladan already qualifies as B team leader, it makes sense to simply give the A team to DoomYoshi without the further delay.

MGSteve is the group's MVP and will skipper the A team.
This group contains four Majors. Of the four, Hun1 with a CC score of 2488 is currently the highest-ranked and will pick the B team.

Jonofperu was the group's MVP and will lead the A team into action.
Without even checking the profiles, I know that josko.ri is the highest-ranked player in this group, and will be captain of the B team.

Cptbeefalo is the group MVP and therefore qualifies to lead the A team.
Brigadier Robespierre__ is the highest-ranked player in this group and will choose the B team.

[Dukasaur]

The eight captains have been notified by PM.

Also, I have checked all of the names on the list, and except for the ones already struck out, all of them appear to be currently active on CC. Therefore, there should be no need of replacements.

[MGSteve]

I choose angola for Group V. Hope that was fast enough.
