Of the players that were scoreless before, only celliottii remains scoreless. However, this is not an elimination point, so that's not necessarily a problem for him.
I'm not bothering to re-send golden's. He has been missing invites all over; I'm pretty sure he's now AWOL from the site. Reserve benga is called up to active duty.

Phase 3 Terminators are done. Phase 3 P.A.T.s coming real soon.
I updated the scoreboard, and in the process found some mistakes. Amazing that nobody looked to see their score and spotted them. Don't ever assume the T.O. is omniscient. We DO make mistakes, far more often than most people realize. Anyway, all mistakes have now been corrected (I think!)

That's the way to choose settings!!!

The scoreboard has been updated to include all Phase 3 results. The current leaderboard: [spoiler=current leaderboard]Peteee 12.97265625 MyTurnToWin 8.859375 TX AG 90 8.6484375 Vonkillenoffen 8.4375 nolefan5311 8.015625 Silly Knig-it 7.59375 notyou2 7.3828125 william tennant 6.1171875 aalii 4.640625 russde 4.640625 Chewie1 4.4296875 ElricTheGreat 3.5859375 TheGreys 3.26953125 molespe 3.05859375 TuffyLess 1.58203125 benga (for goldenwarrior) 1.4765625 bernooch 0.84375 CatchersMitt14 0.84375 celliottii 0.84375 actorday 0.6328125 chidone 0.6328125 dhallmeyer 0.6328125 metsfanmax 0.6328125 patches70 0.6328125 chejodavila 0 dragon dor 0 General Bax 0 GreenBaize 0 lmodena 0 Lord Arioch (for raderiba) 0[/spoiler]
This is an elimination phase, so we put six more people out of their misery. Actorday, chidone, dhallmeyer, metsfanmax, and patches70 are relieved of duty. In Patton's words, “All good things must come to an end --- Goodbye and God bless you.”
The sixth elimination is a little more tricky. At the bottom of the survivor's list, we have celliottii and CatchersMitt14, tied not only in score but in the first three tiebreaking criteria -- Terminator wins, Standard wins, and kills. We have to go to the fourth tiebreak -- precedence -- to declare that CM14 lives to fight another day and celliottii goes to his eternal reward.
The 18 surviving players can expect the next Terminator round to begin imminently. I'm hoping later today, but tomorrow at the latest.

I started thinking about this current phase, where all three Terminator games were won by map conditions and one or more players remained unterminated. Until now my intention was to only give P.A.T. games when an actual termination occurs. It makes sense that the terminators should get benefit only for players they actually kill, not for players who are still alive at the end. However, the P.A.T. is not just an opportunity for the terminator to score a point; it's also an important opportunity for the terminatee to get something out of the round. Logically, it does not make sense that players should be penalized for not getting killed.
Therefore, new rule. If a player remains unterminated at the end of a Terminator game, the winner of that game will still play a P.A.T. game against him.
The player who failed to make the kill still suffers a small penalty, because he doesn't get the two points for the kill in the Terminator game. The other player still gets a chance to score 2 points in the P.A.T. game and come out of the Phase with some kind of score.

The Greys has missed an invite and may have left the site. I'm currently seeking clarification. Meanwhile, re-sent his invite just in case.

Okay, thanks. I put you back in for now, but you'll have to do amazingly well in Phase 5 to survive the next cut.
