Congratulations to Domicas who came through from second place to pip TheTrueNorth by 4 points in the final games; from Moonchild and xman5151 in 3rd and 4th places respectively
Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) was an English naturalist who established his theory on natural selection after observing diverse animal species on a five year voyage aboard the Beagle.
We recreate his voyage, starting in England and calling at South America, The Galapagos Islands, Australia and Brazil before returning to the British Isles. In the same way that Darwin collected different species, you will collect points for each win; the fewer turns you win in; the more points you get.
Why do all these explorer fellows have long beards and glum expressions? pm me if you know - and I will include your answers here.
[spoiler=Why]I think that perhaps they forgot to pack their Gillette and constipation pills.
General Brewsie thinks that he's conjuring up a cough drop recipe. (Or are you not familiar with the faces on the box of Smith Brothers' Cough Drops?)[/spoiler]
Good Luck!
Dave
[spoiler=Gameplay]A minimum of 16 players (plus multiples of 4 if more join within a week) organised as groups of 4 players playing 1 v 1 against each other in each round.
Three games will be sent out each round so freemium players must keep 3 slots available.
You will have 48 hours to join. Reserves will be used on Round 1 only. Thereafter average win points will be used in any voided games.
Points per game will be 15 minus the winning turn number i.e. if you win in turn 7 you get 15 - 7 = 8 points.
If you win in turn 15 or greater you will receive no points but your number of wins will increase.
Into the 5th round we lose the 4 players with the lowest points total. In the case of a tie, number of wins will be used, thereafter a tiebreaker game.
In the 6th round only the 4 players with the highest points totals will play the final set of games.
Matchups will be random using random.org.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Maps]Round 1 - England
Round 2 - South America
Round 3 - Treasures of the Galapagos
Round 4 - Australia
Round 5 - Brazil
Round 6 - The British Isles
All games will be Automatic, Sequential, Chained, Flat Rate, Foggy.[/spoiler]
