PM SENT TO ALL PLAYERS

If you have any questions, please check the thread for an answer. If necessary, post your question on thread. NO PM's PLEASE!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - -Jules Verne Contest
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ACT I 2nd round
- - - - - - - - - 1864 - Paris in the 20th century



Thought it was written in 1863, it was first published only in 1994. Paris in the Twentieth Century is about a young man who lives in a technologically advanced, but culturally backwards future. Often referred to as Verne's lost novel, the work, set in August 1960, paints a grim dystopian view of the future. Many of Verne's predictions are remarkably accurate. His publisher, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, did not release the book because he thought it was too unbelievable and inferior to his previous work, Five Weeks in a Balloon. (Source : wikipedia)

Map = FRANCE
Rules = 4 players game, automatic, sequential, flat rate, chained, fog on.
1st and 2nd = advance to ACT II
3rd and 4th = eliminated
Points = 1st get 10pts, 2nd get 7 points, 3rd get 3 pts and 4th get 0 pts.
Number of players playing that round = 128
Players left after that round = 64

Special objectives= Holding Paris for 3 consecutive rounds with at least 3 players remaining is an automatic victory, whether you win the game or not!. You also score + 10 points
Special objectives start this round; be ready to fight for extra points, and maybe one year of premium !
Be aware of how to claim any bonus during your games...
[spoiler=BONUSES]Like in the original RISK version, this tourney has been set with new objectives to give a new look on CC maps.
Those objectives, different on each map, must be held for one, two or three rounds in a row. Remember it's entire rounds so every player must play his turn before gaining any bonus. Also remember that bonuses are reachable only with a minimum number of player still in the game (not eliminated). It's too easy to reach some of the objectives just before killing the last opponent.

HOW TO CLAIM A BONUS?

As CC isn't set for my special objectives, once you are sure you've gained a bonus and held it long enough to gain +10 pts, leave a message into game chat informing your opponents that you reach the objective and telling them which rounds. If every player agrees, you gain the bonus.

Also leave a reply in the tournament forum with :

Game number
Map and objective reached
Number of players left in game
Have your opponents confirmed the bonus? Y / N

We can check in game log once game is ended if objective has been held normally in case any player disagree.[/spoiler]
Games will be sent soon for players who have qualified! Be patient, it could take something like 2 days.

Freemiums who reach ACT II must keep 2 spots free and 3 for the last book in ACTII 1st round.



REMEMBER !!!
Secret diplomacy is not allowed, but diplomacy is... Just let the other players know in game chat.
Games are singles, team games only come in ACT III
Even if you're loosing, try to earn points for your team

Winner = Tournament Achievement Medal
Winning team = Tournament Achievement Medal
31 Special objectives :
Earn 16 or more objectives = General Achievement Medal
Be the first to get 22 objectives = 1 year premium
Earn 21 different objectives as a team (single or team) = General Achievement Medal
Be the first team to get all objectives = 1 year premium split in 4 three months premium

I tried to organize an interesting tournament based on Jules Verne books and novels.
Any pm announcing rounds will be filled with book covers, and any others maps or indication to make it more entertaining.
Enjoy the game on Conquer Club and be fair.

Sincerely,

DJENRE

I found a bunch of expired invites and renewed them all.

[fairman]

Game 8870047
France - Hold Paris during 3 turns
4 players left in game
Confirmation in chat? In progress

[SirSebstar]

Game 8870047
France - Hold Paris during 3 turns
4 players left in game
Confirmation in chat? In progress

the special objective is ONLY when there are 3 players in the game, i thought

[SirSebstar]

Map = FRANCE
Rules = 4 players game, automatic, sequential, flat rate, chained, fog on.
Special = Hold Paris for 3 rounds in a row with 3 players left in game. That counts as 1st place* and give you + 10 points
1st and 2nd = advance to ACT II
3rd and 4th = eliminated
Points = 1st get 10pts, 2nd get 7 points, 3rd get 3 pts and 4th get 0 pts.
Number of players playing that round = 128
Players left after that round = 64

*The player who hold special objective is in 1st place, even if he/she lose the game. The other best player in the game will also be qualified.

I do wonder, is it the first player who holds the objective. seems plausible, but its good to confirm

[duncana]

I reach the Special objective =>Hold Paris for 3 rounds in a row with 3 players left in game.

Game number => Game 8870050 (Round 4)
Map and objectif reach => France =>Hold Paris for 3 rounds in a row with 3 players left in game.
Number of players left in game => 4
Do they agreed your bonus ? 1 is ok / 2 did not answer (or did not read the chat game)

[SirSebstar]

negative 3 players INCLUDING you

[duncana]

You have to understand : it is "at least" 3 players left in the game or higher. That special objective have no sens if there is only 2 players left...

And SirSebstar, let Djenre explain this rules.It is not to you to speak to him.

for him, but you are correct, Since it is posted here, and he (DJ) wants no pm's We will hear it soon enough.

on that matter, I would have thought 3 players or less. My reasoning, you need to at least have some progress made in the game, so with 4 players its not that usefull..also as a special objective, well that would count always, no matter how many players are left, so in that case he should have left out the amount of players and be done with it. OR state that the objective is possible UNTILL, someone gets killed.

I would not have thought exactly 3, since , well i did not consider it..

just me thinking out loud
DJ, get your arse in here, we need you!

[fairman]

I send him a PM (french privilege and we're oftenly teamate) to get an explanation.
Else in Act II, it will be really hard, hold a place when there is only 4 players left? What happens if one is killed during you're holding it?
And remeber, he's french like, so we don't really know the english grammar, the text has been corrected by someone and it may have change his original opinion.
So I definitly vote, hold it when there is at least X players ... else I lost a big amount of armies for nothing in my game ...

[fairman]

I finaly found the answer in the Bonus special description :

"Also remember that bonuses are reachable only with a minimum number of player still playing the game (not eliminated). It's too easy to reach some of the objectives just before killing the last opponent.

[DJENRE]

And SirSebstar, let Djenre explain this rules.It is not to you to speak to him.

YES that's the correct answer... 3 players left is a minimum. also works with 4 players.
But not with only 2 players left (because it's too easy this way to score extra points ---> end of the game, you make sure the other player is stuck with a last territ while you hold your bonus place

I hope I answered your question. I gonna be less time online for the next 2 days but I gonna check on my Iphone.

Also, make sure nobody kill the third player when you are holding the bonus. You need to have three players left until the last round of your bonus.

I found a bunch of expired invites and renewed them all.

Ty for all


Thank you sirsebstar for trying to explain to all but you was wrong.
Guys don't blame him, he's trying to help

I know the player who starts with paris has a little advantage for bonuses but it can be easily taken on the first round.
A player who starts with paris and also starts the game (if he reinforc correctly) has a huge advantage, I know.
But it's a low probability and it's like on many games when one of your opponent starts with a bonus in the drop.

DJENRE

[SirSebstar]

it certainly makes the game totally differnt, thanks for clearing it up

[duncana]

I have no hard feeling to SirSebstar ^^
And thx DJenre for clearing it up !

[ttblanch]

I hold Paris since the start of the game, now we're in round 4. How can you see that if its foggy??

[mlmarcelo]

GN:8870027
awaiting 1 more player.

[Dukasaur]

cptbeefalo missed first invite -- reinvited him.

Drags missed invite for a second time, but he PM'd me with an explanation so I renewed it for a third time.

iwillrocku, opposites., Showt3k, and bulletdodger have refused and/or let invites expire two times with no explanation, so I won't bother re-inviting them until I hear whether they are staying in the tourney or what is going on.

8870046, 8870044, 8870038, 8870035, 8870029 and 8870025 are still missing players because of the round 1 games that aren't finished. Not much I can do about that. DJ, you might want to think about a deadlock rule for them.

[dakky21]

Just thinking, was probable answered already, are points from round 1 & 2 accumulated? I mean i get 10 points from round 1 Act 1 and 0 points from round 2 Act 1 , does that mean I can pass through Act 2 anyway if lucky or not

[SirSebstar]

escalating settings should avoid deadlocks a lot better

also, points from a round do not carry over to another round
