Hi, just wanted to check I've got all my games, I don't have a Phase 3B game; on your list I'm shown as being in:

Game 13114934
IAmCaffeine
bragsie
Pander88uk
sparkyball

But that invite seems to have gone to richman688 who seems to have 5 Phase 3 games. Can you check?

You are right, I made a booboo. Fix on the way.

Okay, new Game 13131203 created and invited.

When doing invites I try to reduce each name to characters I can type with one hand and let autocomplete do the rest. (So I can use the mouse with the other.) If someone has double chars in their name that's automatically the first thing I try. I guess in this case the 88s in Pander88uk and richman688 led me astray.

Apologies to everyone inconvenienced.

[cairnswk]

Game 13114952 i won! Don't know if it makes any difference?

[iAmCaffeine]

Was away when the third round started, came back and basically all my games were a mess.

[Dukasaur]

Very few active games left, but unfortunately one of them is a Phase 2 game, and we cannot advance to Phase 4 until all of these are finished.

[Dukasaur]

The last active game will end within 17 hours, so I should be able to get the next round out tomorrow night!

Five players -- Gilligan, General Bax, Risk_Averse, aalii, and rmjw10 are removed from the tournament as a result of having not scored 3 points in the first two phases.

The spot listed as waauw/RICHARDJOHN is also eliminated. Waauw only scored 2 points in the first two phases. I was prepared to let RJohn carry on if he did exceptionally well in Phase 3, but he did not, so is eliminated along with the waauw slot that he occupies. (I hope all that is comprehensible enough.)

In addition to the above, hagardunor has also vanished from CC and needs to be replaced. Unlike waauw, Hagardunor did score enough points before he left to continue, so he will be replaced by Donelladan.[/spoiler]

Hi, I achieved the pinta tortoise route in Game 13346317 by holding Floreana in Rd 3 with 3 players left; Pinta in Rd 9 with 2 players left and Isabela North in Rd 10 with 2 players left. Don't think it'll garner me bonus points, but mentioned it just in case.

You're right, no bonus points....

Got all the steps, and in the right order, but too many players had already been killed.

You may as well replace Breal.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I wanted to stick to the rules and give him two chances. He is in the top ten on the scoreboard, and it would be really ironic if he suddenly reappeared today and found himself eliminated from a tournament that he still had a chance of winning. If he doesn't re-appear today, his invite will expire sometime tonight, and when I get home in the morning, our last remaining reserve, william tennant, will be invited.

[Dukasaur]

Okay, Breal and Swanster have now missed two consecutive invites and are eliminated.

I have invited our last remaining reserve, William Tennant, into the games vacated by Breal.

I have myself jumped into the three games that Swanster did not join.

Well, there's only one active game left, but unfortunately it looks like it might be a round limit builder, so we shall have to wait and see.
