That is mad BS if I get robbed again. On the front page you say it is your discretion according to who achieves the innocs vs. the times with hopes that they won't dilly dally around taking their time.
So I don't see that a 6th game would be needed in that case. Are we not going for the five kills anymore, is it based solely on this score system? Are we getting bonuses to our score for each innoc we get? I think all us finalists were thinking that it was just first to five. There is no way I should be in third place right now, that really doesn't make sense.

This is the same scoring system I used in the first round (where you almost managed to come back from down 5 kills to 3 kills and steal the spot from amazzony). The 6th kill is the first tie-breaker (if the total rounds are close enough).
The quicker you get your 5th inoculation, the more rounds they'll have going against them towards their 3rd, 4th, and 5th inoculations. So, basically target whoever you need to - in order to get it done. This is Madness after all.

A) If you finish on Sunday with 45 rounds, and someone else finishes on Tuesday with 46 or more rounds - you win
B) If you finish on Sunday with 45 rounds, and someone else finishes on Tuesday with 43-45 rounds - you tie. Whoever gets the 6th elim first wins - note if all games are completed, the tied parties will play a game without the non-tied parties.
C) If you finish on Sunday with 45 rounds, and someone else finishes on Tuesday with 42 or fewer rounds - you lose
So I just finsihed the 5th game knocking everyone out. That gives me 6 according to the stats in previous posts. Do I win? I really don't understand this scoring system. I guess it has to do with how quickly I got my first three kills. If no one else has 5 kills, then I win right?
Well if you didn't win solely on points DiM has quit:
DiM wrote:sorry but i have to quit this tourney. sorry for any inconvenience. if anybody cares why here's the explanation:
for the past month my dice have been horrible. i've lost a lot of games solely because i failed the last 8v1 attack to eliminate a player and stuff like that. heck i've even had flat rate games where i couln't even get a card attacking a stack of 3 troops 3-4 turns in a row. and at the same time most of my opponents seem to have perfect dice. just now i was attacked with 15 troops. i had 16 on 3 terits. the attacker killed everything i had and lost just 2. next turn i tried taking back my terits. lost 12 in a row and killed none.
and this has been going for quite a while now.
of course i'm a reasonable man and i know the dice are random and all that. i also know that sometimes you get bad streaks but it all evens out in the end. well my dice analyzer has been imbalanced since i installed it the first time (8 onths ago) i reseted it at 200000 rolls and i was bellow the ideal stats. i reseted it again when i got to 200000 as i was also under the ideal stats. now i have around 80k rolls and i'm 9% bellow the iedal stats on 3v1 and 12% under the ideal stats on 3v2. i have uninstalled it. i have also decided to take a break from CC because of the dice. i'm tired wasting my tie planing a move only to lose 20 troops from the first attack.
btw did i mention my 153vs72 autoattack that stopped at 3v48?
anyway. goodbye CC games for a while. i'll stick to map making and browsing the forums.

I sent a pm to Aerial and he told me to play the last game he set up because of the points system. Though in the initial post, it says,
If someone achieves 5 Inoculations with all other games (in their group) still open? or closed they will be declared the winner.
. That seems to indicate that the person who gets to 5 first wins, with the exception that perhaps two people get to 5 in the same game. Then I could see where there might be a problem. Anyway, if you pm Aerial, he might be able to clarify.
Alright... DIM is out because he said that he won't play anymore. I dropped the game because I hate fog games and I'm having a bad stroke so I'm surrendering I couldn't win it anyway right now

Dresden... I'm not really afraid or anything but I am confused since you said there is another game up; however, I got no PM about anything and Aerial hasn't posted on here in over 2 weeks.

I know you are not afraid. It is easy to talk trash when there probably won't be another game. The game I mentioned was one Aerial put up at the beginning of the last game when there was a possibility that more than one of us would get 5. Since then it has timed out and is no longer there.
I couldn't win it anyway right now
