Re: HA's 200th Tourney (Rd 9 starts 8/21)
pm that went out to the players advancing to round nine
Refreshing everyone with the basic rules of the tourney--you can always check on page two of the thread
This is a 1v1 tourney-join any three games per round-No more than 3 total games in any round:
The exact rule and how it will be written: You are only allowed to join three total games in any given round. Joining 4 or more will disqualify you. If you make a mistake you need to send me a pm within five minutes of making the mistake with the game number. Be careful and make sure you only join three games and no more in any round and you will not have a problem. Bounties count as a game so if you want to try for a bounty in a round--do not join three games right away. Wait to join your three total games.
Now that round one-eight are over-there are no excuses about not knowing, not understanding, my rules are not clear, there is too much congestion on page one. I was fair and gave breaks. I am sorry if this is unclear to anyone, but I will abide by the exact rule listed above. If a mistake is done and the person follows the rule I will go by time stamps of initialized games. If a technical issue happens I will work through the issue. Anything besides these two things will result in disqualification.
To advance to the next round-you have three things that need to be done:
1. Do not join more than three games
2. Do not play the same player more than once-if a mistake happens pm me so I can investigate
3. Just win one game
Maps used:
Players choice--maps chosen with players choice of settings-up to five different per round-much more usually
I will either draw for map choices or post a time to let me know what you want--once that time is over the maps that are made are what is available for the current round so please do not ask for others or complain about your choices-it is a tourney and what you see is what you get--join early for the most choices but there is no guarantee you will get to play on what you want to play on.
Classic-CC-auto-seq-chained-esc-sunny-have to have the original map (well close to it)
Random-auto-seq-chained-esc-sunny
Arms Race-auto-seq-unlimited-no spoils-sunny-have to have my favorite map in it
I may also choose some popular maps and setting to throw into the mix.
Since there are many maps and settings please pay attention to what you join. There may be freestyle--if you join a game you are not interested in--you are stuck with it.
Reminder:
To advance to the next round you must win one game each round. Any player that does not win one game, joins more than 3 games in any one round, or does not show up will be out of the tourney.
Time frame to join in a round--right now it is about one week. It may get extended or if players have a good enough reason why they need more time I may allow it --it all depends on the situation.--I have been given two weeks the last few rounds and almost every round but as long as I have the time I would not expect the full two weeks
You must choose to play three different players--so if you are green and have joined- games it must be against three different players. Nothing you can do if someone joins your games and you were waiting for games. If you join with the same player by accident please pm me for a ruling.
I hope this covers everything. I believe this is very clear. If something should be written clearer let me know.
Feel free to ask questions.
Instructions for round nine within the hour--still getting this message:Some users couldn’t be added as they have disabled private message receipt.--so I hope you are checking on the thread and pm me if you need the pass code
Do not post the passcode--if u have issues joining games pm me

HA's 200th -instructions to join round 9
http://www.conquerclub.com/player.php?s ... so=&page=1
Above is the link to games waiting--you may click on it to find games or use game finder
Games will be up for 7-10 days and if I am busy with real life 14--but after 7 days they can be brought down at anytime--this will be the basic set up for most of the remaining tourney until we get down under 100 players
There will not be anymore games made unless I make some doodle to do corrections or something
please revisit the rules if unsure of anything --or post in the thread=
viewtopic.php?t=134927
If you make a mistake pm me immediately
Do not give this pass code out--if someone asks have them pm me
There may be a few bounties, but I think I will wait until next round--I just started a new job and that is my focus for now
pm HA if needed --it is in the pm sent out is the pass code for round nine
good luck

I am going to try and do a few this round but no guarantees as stated in the pm--I have to find time with my new job and still doing work from my old job and try and manage cc and my real life--we shall see --just save a game --if I do one it will be Thursday or Friday

Re: HA's 200th Tourney (Rd 9 starts 8/21)
letter q player-two left
Re: HA's 200th Tourney (Rd 9 starts 8/21)
Hmmm 31 Ts left... In my book that makes for the equation T = 15,5 x Q. T is such a cooooool letter 
Edit: Hmmm except I cant count. - figured there would only be 3 groups
44 Ts left at my best count
T = 22 x Q.
The Ts are even cooler than I thought

so about 82% advancing each round.
if we continue like that the winner will be found in round x:
2507*0,82^(x-1)=1
x=ln(1/2507)/ln(0,82)+1= 40,43
We already played 7 rounds, so we just have to play more or less 33 rounds to find the winner
round8: 642 -> 82,73% of round7
round9: 543 -> 84,58% of round8
so maybe a few more rounds?

there were many deadbeats in earlier rounds, and also many players who were kicked out by violating rules. I doubt in high rounds there will be again the same situations, so that may be reason why % of advancing ones are increasing.

I promise you, HA is not going through every one of the 4,449 posts in this thread to individually check off each game you won. There are more efficient methods.
