The 1st FGM Duplicate CMBN Tournament

mTk asks..."...why the need for secrecy when reporting results?"

My reasoning is... in order to keep folks from bailing from the tourney should they do poorly in a couple of early games, and thereby skew the results and make more work for me. Keeping scores secret, keeps them in the game. After the tourney, it is my plan to get feedback from the players as to the efficacy of my decision.
When I tried to run this type tourney at the Blitz, players dropping was a real headache for me and ultimately led to it's failure.
 
The match between Ariete and chain is over. Game Result sent to Facman.
 
Thanks Mates, that puts us over the hill...7 results in. Standings updated.

We are at 8 weeks since the round started, time to start wrapping it up.

How are the other 5 games going? Can the remaining games be completed in another 2 weeks? I have not been pushy since many folks have been on vacation/holiday this time of year, but if we don't want the tourney to drag on for a year, we need to step it up. Let me know, please. Without input to the contrary, I will be calling an end to the round at 10 weeks, 13 July 2013. (4 weeks beyond target)

Thanks Bud! I understand how RL can get in the way, just wanting to keep the tourney moving so we don't lose the interest of the participants.
 
I believe I had no turn from wonderjeep since I'm back from holidays ~10 days ago.
I'll try to contact him again.
 
Fac, please I was reading all this just now. American side in first place, our replacement for any side please!!!

Cool! Thanks for the quick response.
I'm still having troubles with my computer, I'm unable to load CMFI & GL due to storage problems, which shouldn't exist since I added more capacity with a solid state drive. Looking for a local geek (Ohio) to get me thru this problem. Hope to have it fixed by next week.
 
I surrendered yesterday, several long pauses after which we were still in turn 12-14 put me off completly. Detailed result will follow soon.
 
Scipio
I read both your posts regarding the end of the game, and removed the one from the standings thread, as that is reserved for me to post standings.
And while I can understand your displeasure with the way the game unfolded, I would remind you that Real Life affects us all at one time or another. I have not set any end dates for this round, therefore the delays you experienced, in no way effected the ability to play the game to it's end.
 
It wasn't my ability, but the will that I'd lost. If you think we should better go through the cease fire procedure, we can still relaunch the last turn.
Anyway, I didn't realized that I displeased you and/or the other participiants of the tournament so much.
Please do not hesitate to remove me from the players list and replace me if you think this is necessary.
 
Yo Scipio!
Relax Dude, I'm ok with your decision, just wanted to remind you that real life has a way of biting us in the butt once in awhile. Part of the attraction of FGM for me, is that it is made up of a bunch of fellas that appreciate the fellowship we find here, and are generally patient when real life issues come up. We are playing games after all, and for most of us winning is secondary to the experience. I'm not removing you unless you want to be removed.
