ScubaSteve is currently in second place in the tournament, how did he end up on the replacement list?

He left before the previous couple of games.

Given that SS has been in the tournament already and his leaving was an issue of being able to join games, I'll bump him back to the top of the reserve list. Which means he's in for Samj who is taking a break. Korwenten, you'll be next up.

I didn't leave. I was a replacement in one game and I won.

Yes but the game restriction issue resulted in being replaced. You're back in regardless.

Indeed. Can't wait!

Welcome back ScubaSteve. I have been trying to keep track of the scoring, and according to my records you played in games 3, 5, and 6, but are still in second place through game 7.

He took over for me -- perhaps he got any points I had for the first couple of games?

No, ScubaSteve earned all of his points by soloing game 6.

Here we go again:

Amby

Bump. We ready to get games 11 and 12 going?

Please replace me going forward.

I’ll need a couple of weeks. Requests will be noted and addressed and we’ll continue on.

Ready and signed up for 11 and 12

I’m in for 11, is password kw15x15

I’m in for 11 and 12 as well. Let’s get this tourney going, we’re close to the finish line.

I'm in 11 and 12, and 13, and 14, and 15.

I had hoped to get things moving forward today, but I have a few challenges. I’m kicking myself for not keeping my notes on google drive, as they were in a word document on my computer that crashed a few weeks ago. Best I can tell, bozo and Scuba Steve need to join 11 and 12, and Hirsaege needs to join 12. We need a replacement for YCHTT going forward, and the reserve list in in those notes. That’s where we stand.

Seeing as how we continue to struggle from commitment and reliability issuses causing massive delays in completing this event I would once again suggest that we stop now, declaring Eki the winner of the tournament. I would happily support the idea of starting another KW 901 tournament, but one with 15 players willing to abide by the agreements at signup. There is no point in playing out the final five games now. With the player roster decimated again and less than half of the original players left.

Hey, I want to apologize for dropping but I was a replacement player to begin with. However, if you still need me, I will find a way to make it work. Let me know.

Just pm me the links and nations if it is choose your nation.

I forget if it was choose or if the GM reassigned at start.

I can substitute.

Since we can't seem to find 15 reliable players to finish up the final 5 games of this tournament then I also think it's time to stop. What a shame, almost what , 2 yrs and 10 games in.........as of now I don't think I'd be for restarting another KW 901 tourny, what would make anyone think we could find 15 players? I guess 15 gunboat games is to to much, so maybe a tourny with less players/games might work.

It's achievable, you just have to run more than 2 games at once so the whole thing runs in a more compressed time range, meaning less time available for people to drop out.

Mouse is correct. A big reason this did not work well was because at least one player *cough cough... Amby* refuses to play more than two games at a time. We should be playing five games at the same time for this map.

Well then maybe we find the last 2 or 3 players needed and try to start at least 3 games to start, then if all goes well add the last 2 games. I guess then we'd at least complete the 15 games and 2 plus yrs of this tourney.

Oh low blow Ruff ;-)

The question remains, do we have a few players out there who would be willing to play the last 1/3 of the Known World tournament?
