Hello,

PS - It took time to re-check these logs and find these false claims, but people seem uninterested about these bonuses and stuff - Dukasaur, you'll have to make sure everyone understands the rules and bonuses for next tournies...

PPS - See Mr. Severs, I don't hate you, I got you a bonus, even when you tagged me as "Complainer, Vindictive"

I respect that you're double checking these things, but how does this prove that I didn't get the objective first? I was keeping pretty good track of my progress and I'm certainly not trying to pull a fast one.

[Dukasaur]

Australia maps have been created and invitations sent out.

[jrbedwell]

I think you might be focusing on the use of "false claim", which isn't really appropriate since these are fog games. I re-checked our game when I read this, and someone else did have the bonus before I did. It's only fair that they get the points for that, particularly when there is no way to tell who is holding what territories.

Yeah, I agree. I'm pretty sure that when Pandemonium said false, there weren't any pejorative connotations to it. It's just a false claim in the same sense that a medical test might return a false positive, it's not an accusation of anything.

[Dukasaur]

Game 9727842

2011-09-14 10:41:46 - Marechal joffre: kill me all, good luck, i leave france i go to madagascar and there is no internet, good bye and sorry

Looks like we're losing the good Marechal.

Yes, when I said false I didn't mean anything offensive
I just meant 'not correct' or that someone claimed the bonus and someone else had the bonus before him but said nothing (If you ask me this should be punishable, it's like not calling the BINGO first and some else calls it 2-3 numbers after you, but we don't have that rule here - maybe next tournie).
I check the logs manually and open 2 or 3 .txt docs and make counters line by line - it's pretty exhausting job for some maps (like Lunar War) but I want everything to be fair and correct
Mr. squishyg, I only post the log of the bonus-winner, you can check the log manually and compare it to your achievement and you will see that you didn't own the bonus first.

[pilot16]

Game 97278412011-09-24 20:52:25 - pilot16: guys i want to claim this game The bonus on this map is to hold Lima and Pernambuco for 3 rounds. Like all Act II bonuses, this can only be claimed with 4 or more players still in the game.

[Dukasaur]

sorry for not having an available slot. I will have one available for the last invite in a few days though

That was September 13th. Only one of many PMs I've exchanged with dexterdexter. The original tourney specs say that you were supposed to reserve 3 slots for this tournament. Later we relented and started working with players who had only two slots reserved for it, but you have zero reserved. Every time I look you've joined another non-tourney game.

When I said we would be patient with our remaining freemiums, I didn't say "infinitely patient". Sorry, time's up.

Okay, Marechal Joffre has left CC and dexterdexter has left the Jules Verne. The games they were in have been remade as 7-player games.

I wasn't going to take offense, but then you went and called me "Mr."

No worries mates, thanks for the explanation!

[Pandemonium]

Yeah well, I'm glad we understand each other
English is not my native language, and sometimes the things I translate in my head don't turn out to have the exact same meaning in English

Anyway, Mr. Squishyg, you're 2-3 years older then me and you have above 30, so I think it's only natural and respectful to call you Mr. Squishyg
It's all cool dude

I think she means she prefers to be called Mrs. Squishyg...

[Pandemonium]

Sh*t!
I'm so sorry Mrs. Squishyg, didn't see the gender field
And I don't know what is the female version of dude

Looks good, torres my only surviving team-mate...

4 people still alive in game, if nobody held it before you (and that seems unlikely) you qualify for 10 bonus points.

[Pandemonium]

Torres killed my chance of winning this tournie, wiping me off first on Australia - now I have 0 points on Australia & S. America...

I held Pernambuco since round 3, and no one held the Lima/Pernambuco bonus before me, Thx.

[Dukasaur]

Well, it was looking like a lot of games were winding down, so I took a shot at starting the next batch.

Oceania games (map 9)

The bonus on this one is to hold ALL of New Zealand, but it is only two (2) rounds this time instead of the usual 3.

[Pandemonium]

Yeah, I was expecting this, there are a number of players who aren't playing any tournie games right now (including me).
BTW all the bonuses where a continent is required are 2 rounds (like the Ice Cap).
