After Phase One we say goodbye to perchorin, DoomYoshi, and epicgb, who were first out in their respective games.

Both games still trundling along...

Can't believe the one game has gone this long without an elimination. However, 2 players are no longer Premium; if they fail to renew they will be our eliminees for this round.
