Lightning Mod Tournament GAME ON!

[MrQuiet]

Tom Hunter has been unresponsive to pms and emails.
He has been replaced by Lucky1.
Good luck Lucky.

That is all, carry on.

[Tom Hunter]

MrQuiet,

I had a serious computer crash (it went back to Dell in a box) not a huge problem if I have been replaced but I did swap emails explaining the problem with my opponent over in France.

Should I send him a turn next week when I am back up and running, or just skip this round?

Tom

[xianing]

Yes, Tom did send me a email to say he will get the computer repaired next week. And then I received the turn save from Lucky1.
To not delay the advance of round 1, I've begun the game with Lucky1, but I would be glad to have another game with Tom when he is ready.
 
 

[MrQuiet]

Tom, I sure wish you had sent that email to me also.
I would have held your spot in the tournament.
I saw a couple days ago that you read my pm to you but I got no reply so I started to give up.
I saw Lucky1 posting for a mod game so I asked him to step in for you.
I am not sure how to handle this now since all match ups are pre-determined and Lucky1 vs xianing game is underway.
 
I can put you on a alternate list in case someone should drop out.

[Lucky1]

Hi all,
 
Seems that Tom is alive and well.... Insofar that he was the original scheduled participant, I will hand the reins over to him at any time, should he so desire. For the time being, however, I will keep playing.
 
Cheers,
 
Sean

[Tom Hunter]

Since Sean has started his game I think it is fair for him to keep going.

Put me on the list as an alternate, chances are someone will drop out sooner or later.

Your a good sport Tom and I am sorry to say your quote above is probably right if history is any indication.
You will be first on the list.

Thanks Tom. In the circumstances, I really don't mind you taking over at any point. Certainly, do not be afraid to resume your place for the second round... In the meantime, if you are still looking for a game, I would be willing....
 
Cheers,

[Tom Hunter]

I strongly suspect that Mr. Quiet is right, and someone will drop out.  I have experience with that over in WitP as well.  I only have time to run one game, so I am going to sit tight and lurk until someone vanishes.  I will try to check in once every day or two so that I can step in when needed.

Tom, you've watched to many X-files. People just don't vanish[8|]

The tournament AARs are interesting to follow and as soon as I'll have the time, I'll try the mods out myself. One little suggestion though: Please indicate the mod used in the AAR thread titles (some did that already), it makes it easier to keep in mind who is playing what. Thanks!

Oh, and this thread should get a sticky, methinks.

[Lucky1]

Tom,

Thanks for letting me play for the first round of the tourney! Once my opponent finishes me off, I am hoping to cede place back to you if you are willing. I am a little out of my depth and probably should be using my time a bit better now that all my classes have resumed.

Grateful if you could advise whether you would be willing to "tag in."

Cheers,

Sean

Hi guys,

I just wanted to point out again that unfortunately there is a bug in the release Global Glory v3.00. The Japanese gift will expire in Summer 1941, contrary to the documentation and the intent. It is supposed to expire in 1943 unless Japan does mean things.

I placed a data file patch in the mod thread here. Unfortunately, this will only work for new games, not games in progress.

[MrQuiet]

Hey Guys, excellent progress on the tourney.
I seem to be the slowest player.
Well, I will be away on vacation all week and will not be able to reply to any posts untill Sun Feb3.
 
When I get back I will catch all the scoreing up.
Keep up the good play.
 
-MrQuiet

[MrQuiet]

Scoreing is located at 2nd post.
Great Job so far and some of you guys really can turn those turns very quickly.
You do not have to wait if you want to start your games in the future rounds and your opponent is ready to play.

Carry ON

[Lucky1]

This is to confirm that I am unable to proceed with the tournament. My MBA programme has become too time-consuming for me to devote the necessary time to proceed. I would have liked to avenge my poor performancy in round one, but I simply cannot spare the time. I truly regret any inconvenience this might cause.
 
Sincerely,
 
Sean

Sorry to hear that Lucky1.
Tom Hunter it looks like you are back in the tourney.
The way I will handle scoreing for whomever takes Lucky1s place is:
1) they will play the 3 remaining rounds
2) I will divide there total score from those 3 rounds by 3 and that will be there score for round1

[MrQuiet]

I have not heard anything from Tom Hunter.
The spot is open to anyone who wants to join.

I'll take it if it's still open.

Your in GKar.
Welcome aboard and best of luck to ya.
I have updated the match-ups for rounds 2-4
Your average score for the last 3 rounds will be your score for round 1.
