Conquer Club

I sure hope so.

Between now and 68 hours, the final game of Round 2 will finish...

Ancessus needs to finish 1st or 2nd to not be eliminated.

1st is automatic advancement, 2nd is a three way tie, which results in a run-off Mexican Standoff style!

make that 45 hours

20 hours or less, FINALLY the 2nd round is ending...

I can't believe this round went on since Oct. 26th.

It'll be a miracle is ancessus hasn't got top 2 in that conquer man game. Think he'll win it, but hoping to sneak above him myself

well you took the win and by the troop count it looks like ancessus' missed turn cost him big time
Game 13508022
shit now I have to prepare myself for an epic game load again! I think

Wow
he was deploying as much as me all game and had way more territs.
He must have wasted shit loads of troops attacking

Stunned!!

Hopalong should be sending out invites as soon as he is available.

Group 2 is as follows:
Group 2

Hopalong should be sending out invites this week for Group 2.

Invites sent to Group2 for Round 3 - enjoy, cuz there will only be one winner!

What hopalong meant to say was, Good luck and thx for playing. Everyone is a winner here...

3rd invites sent to Dboeke for finals round.

If he doesn't accept this set of invites, he will get 0 for all the games and be eliminated, those 69 games for group 2 will be re-created as 5 player games, and last place will automatically receive 2 points as if it was a 6 player game

I have been doing a lot of thinking about Dboeke, because it about an hour all of his invites expire. I was going to just make it a 5 man group, but that actually makes it unfair to group 1 because the less players, means more starting troop count/terr, which changes the maps playability. Therefore, I am making an administrative judgment to move the next player up from Round 2, which is Ancessus. When the invites expire, Ancessus will be invited.

Is it any different than what happened in the previous round when some players just deadbeated most of their games? ... With that said, we are just playing for fun, so go ahead and do what you feel is best.

But Dayman! still joined his games, that is difference.

So he ended up with points for that round

I think this is a great idea!
Just make sure you kick Dboeke from the tourney and never speak his name again.

I don't like the looks of those red stripes glad I'm not there yet.
Got any stats on what would be needed to beat magneto_acolyte?

1060 would be a good number to shoot for
It looks like you would need to win 52 games

But that still gives you 144 pts to play with finishing 2nd or 3rd etc

That's probably not going to happen.
I'd love to know his win rate.
I'm sure i could figure it out but that would cut down on my drinking time.

it says 42 wins, but there were 4 games that were not counted, not sure if those were wins for him.

I've been trying to hit magneto whenever i can, but nobody else in our group seemed to realise or care about the tourney, just thinking about each game individually

Yep, that is part of the strategy in large tournaments...rank hounds?

Well, Magneto is looking like the favorite to win here. He has passed everyone in his group, and to be honest, there are only 2 players in the other group with a possibility of catching him in points...

I haven't put red lines on group 2 yet, but I can pretty much say only Brandon and Osok have a chance at winning this...How do I figure this?

they are over 800 points, with 44 games to count...44X8 (if they win out) is 352 points. That would give them 1152, which is more than Magneto can get...he can max out at 1098

So if anyone wants a number to shoot for, it is 1099.

I don't see anyone winning out though, so the numbers should be around 1050-1070...
And for the record, everyone in group 2 still has a chance to win, but it is getting more and more slim by the day...

Thanks for playing, and my next post will be winner postings
