Dear KORT. Did you miss me?

Back at your old tricks, I see

so, this means that CoF approves of the name change from TOFU to KORT?

We are at 22-15 now. We have offically improved from CC4. Just need to cobble together nine more.

Don't... mention... the war!

Has anyone reviewed the last 23 games to see where this is headed?

I have S&M ahead in 8, us ahead in 7, and 8 as even. Others will have it different. Those 8 games aren't exactly even but look close enough from an outsiders perspective (or in some cases an insider's as I am involved in two of the "even" games) that they could turn either way in a round or two.

Basically it is still up in the air, but I think we have more paths to victory than they do, which make sense with the current score of 22-16. Don't misinterpret this - they could still win.

This is a pretty good assessment of where things stand.

S&M/KORT has some wins coming in. Those were included in my above estimates (of course that is still good for them as a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush). I have not seen any major changes to the games that would radically alter my estimate from two posts above this.

Here's my latest updated. The score has tightened up a bit, but the next 3 wins are likely to go our way. The 4 Likely TOFU games all look quite solid. Also, FNA trips and Baltic Crusade appear to be in good shape and should move to Likely TOFU soon. That gets us to 29. We need two more out of the following (ordered based on what appears to me most likely wins):

• Feudal Epic looks like it leans our way based on number of territories and deploys, though I realize pink holds Kex's castle.
• FracChina looks like it's been gradually drifting our way (though clearly still very close).
• Alaska probably is slight advantage to us, but it's tough to call either way until the ships come into play.
• Hive Quads also looks very close with a very slight advantage our way.
• New Zealand is interesting. We hold almost the entire north island, and they've managed to nearly kick us off the southern island. We have a lead in bonuses, but cards are becoming a larger issue. We'll see.
• Hive quads looks deadlocked right now.
• Arms Race is escalating, so that one could flip either way in another couple rounds.
• It may still be possible to flip CR trips, FNA quads, or ProChi.

This has tightened up a good bit, but probably the next 3 wins to come in will be for TOFU. I have this at about 29-24 among games with a pretty good lean either way. My best guess is that we'll end up with a TOFU win 33-28 (assuming a roughly even split of tied games).

I'd be happy with 31-30, as long as we have 31. Just want the win...the margin isn't important to me.

So basically kort has to win 7/9.. That seems awfully difficult.

Difficult, yes. Impossible, no they are KORT/S&M.

I'd say its more like 6/8 now as one game has moved from up in the air towards them in a major way.

24-23 now. I have us ahead in five games, KORT/S&M ahead in three, and six even (or thereabouts). Depending on what order games finish they could take the lead here for a while. Some people on our side have the break-down slightly different.


Lets get some more chatter in here....the other semi-final thread is rapidly approaching this one in # of posts.

We didn't have a merger to announce in our thread otherwise we might be there already

They are the newly baked bagel, to our stale, yesterdays bread.

I believe I have contributed to both...not going to count my posts though.
