Good luck to all teams, and thanks for organizing this Lx. I think it came time to get new winners of TLO series

I sent a PM to the Team Captains. I'm now waiting for the standard player assignments (line-up).

First round will start April 22. I'll need any change in teams, players, etc., by April 15 the latest.

Hi all,

I still need the "standard line-up" for 5 teams. If I don't have them Sunday (in 4 days), I will randomly decide the line-up myself.

For the teams that have sent the "standard line-up", but no specific line-up for Round 1, you have until Sunday to do so, unless you want the standard line-up to be used.

Thanks,

Lx

Please guys, if you communicate with me about team related issues, state your team name.

After a few rounds I'll probably know who belongs to which team, but right now I have to look it up every time....

Thanks,

A few reminders:

Fog of War
[spoiler=fog of war]For games with fog of war the 12 hour courtesy rule will be in effect. I know from personal experience that it's not always practical (or possible) to wait 12 hours, so I'll "give or take" a few hours. Just don't make a habit of it! Please post in the chat if you cannot wait any longer and when you have taken the snapshot.[/spoiler]
Joining Games, Rectifying Mistakes, Posting Results
[spoiler=JOINING GAMES and RESULTS]1.- Joining Games

Once the games for a round are made I send a pm with the game numbers and auto-join links. If a game is not joined by all players within 48 hours, I reserve the right to cancel the game and count it as a lost game for the player(s) that did not join it. I may or may not send an invite as a reminder sometime after 24 hours. It is the responsibility of the players and the Team Captain to get the games filled on time.

----

2.- Rectifying Mistakes and Forfeits

Every game needs to be joined by the player(s) assigned to the game by the Team Captain. If a game is mistakenly joined by another player, please let me know and I will decide to allow it or make a new game. If a player is replaced by the Team Captain without letting me know, and joins a game, that game will be forfeited and the win and the points go to the opponent(s). The same will apply if a player who is added to a team without my knowledge and permission, and joins a game.

----

3.- Posting Results

As soon as a game is won, the winner(s) should post the result in this forum. It is going to be hard for me to keep on top of all the games, so please help me out and let me know the results![/spoiler]
Account Sitting Rule
[spoiler=account sitting]Account sitting is allowed, as long as:

1. It is done according to CC rules and guidelines
2. It's done for team members only (if the sitter is participating in the tournament)
3. It is announced in the chat for every turn taken
4. It is announced in this thread if it is more than one turn (holiday, longer absence, etc.)

Note: If a player is going on holiday for example, he/she should notify the Team Captain and that player should not be assigned games for that period. In other words, account sitting is to be avoided when reasonably possible.[/spoiler]

Have fun all!

Game 10959293

1 point for Dynasty vs Beef leftovers, gg Loes

[agentcom]

Might I recommend a simple fix for a fog violation?

If someone accidentally (or otherwise) breaks the fog rule, they can simply post the results of any successful attack on that first turn, either on their own or upon request. For example, "I attacked Jakarta from Bangkok." This gives all of the information that a person would have got from a snapshot prior to the attack and no more.

Great suggestion. I have posted this in the OP.

Thanks agentcom!

No worries, you can have the first win.

[Chariot of Fire]

Please folks, can we not post every single game win (first tourney game, sure no probs) otherwise this thread will get full of crap in no time and we'll all be checking the thread every 15 minutes to see what the latest post is, just to find out one game has finished.

Far better to just post the final result of each round of 9 games.

(sorry Rob, it's your thread to say this really, but I'm just reiterating something you once mentioned before).

You're correct, that's how we did it last time. I have changed the text in the OP to:

Round 1 is ongoing. Unfortunately some players were unable to join their games within 48 hours and have cost their teams dearly in forfeited games. Instead of dealing with it behind the scenes, as I used to do, I'm going to post the info here, maybe that helps avoiding this in the future:

[player]orangenitrox[/player] from team Mythers did not join his 2 games, thus giving team TOFUckingood 5 points.

[player]dr.lucas[/player] from team Memento Mori did not join his 4 games, resulting in 10 points for team Harem Kings.

I don't enjoy doing this, however, I have given enough warning that this tournament would be relentless.

some players do not read pms and this is rare tournament that uses pms instead of invites. maybe you just invite random chosen other player from the team (who do not already have maximum games played) instead of giving forfeits. forfeits do not only penalize team who made mistake, but also penalize another 14 teams that will have to fight for his points vs Mythers/Memento Mori instead of getting it for free.

[L M S]

Perhaps the rest of the players/clan mates on their respective teams should have taken a proactive stance and reminded them to join as they obviously knew the rules and read their pm's......
The rules are quite clear.

I understand your point josko, however, I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't. If I'd give them more time you could complain equally that it's unfair....

Btw, I did send invites this morning to the players mentioned, since it was the first round.

I suggest that the every player reads the rules of this tournament (again) and the Team Captains and other team members check the games and urge their own team members to join in time. I mean, come on, two days should be enough for anybody to join a game.

[nolefan5311]

You sent invites this morning? Did dr.lucas decline those invites? If not, shouldn't he be given at least the amount of time for the invite to expire?
