@lucasrrr
SUPER, we have 8 players! thanks you all. Today I drank too many beers;) I will put details here tomorrow. -
Great! Will keep an eye on this page.

Dear Gentlemen!
Thanks for joining! Good choice!
The rules are clear? If not - just ask.Probably everyone lives in Europe, so the games will be named: Euro-CUP-group-A (...and group B).
After start - zero pressure - please do your move when you want. I hope minimum 4-10 moves per day,
But we have a timer: 3 days per player + 1 hr (because sometimes someone needs a day of break).
Each game for a maximum two weeks , I hope.Remember - it's just fun! On the other hand - I Tournament will be difficult, because 5 of 8 players have 'elo' around 300 or over 400 ! Damn! :)
Lucasrrr was the last to join, I don't know him well (we played 2 or 3 times 2 months ago) so I am asking him to complete the line-up of both groups. So lucasrrr, below is the result of my lottery, I am asking you to complete the composition to the groups (if you do not do it - tomorrow I will ask the next person about it). Please put four of players (with the highest elo) in groups (please post below) :
PodonokMax
Babbuc49
Wy
lucasrrr
(these four players have the highest elo)Two to group A and two to B:
1. Euro-CUP-group-A
- ?
- ?
- Mecenas
- bardopondo
2. Euro-CUP-group-B
- ?
- ?
- Pyton
- ariallito
What next?
I will send a link to the games here (using private messages). After the first game - one of the player in group will put new link to the second game there (using chat window)
Pyton will create and share on-line table (eng.) - thanks!
Please notice - mistakes happen! If someone (starting from the second game) mistakes the order, chooses the factions incorrectly, bids for more than 0 - don't worry! but in this case the group has to create a game-table again.
Ok, we wait for the list of both groups. After that I will create game-tables and send to all.
-
Ok, I've just distributed the remaining players randomly, is that OK?

Congratulations & big thanks to all players of the Group A for 4 difficult games!
89 points between Bardopondo (the winner!) and Mecenas is not an enormous distance after four games, which shows how hard the fight was! There is only a 4 vp difference between PodonokMax (who won the most times in the group!) and Wy. This shows that our Tournament system is not ideal, but rules are rules.
Bardopondo and Wy are going to the final four games. Congratulations! Start in March.
I hope everyone will want to continue participating, but it's not mandatory. It's just a game! :)
-
Thanks and congratulations to all players in group B. Me and Pyton fought, but the team definitely had two leaders. Applause for Babbuc49 (718 VP!) and for the winner - Lucasrrr (759 VP!).
edit:
link (to the final table) I will send here (using private messages) probably today till evening. -
Good luck all in the final!

Hello guys! :)
I hope the tournament will be finished by all!
But, I see a problem with the start of the third (penultimate) game.I have no direct contact to Mr. 'Wy'. I hope he is still interested in continuing. If not? it will be a huge pity!... But nothing is mandatory, it's just a game, not a wedding with a very ugly and bad person who can't cook well.
My suggestions in this case:
- bardopondo please create a new (third) game (please check: seed, unlisted, auction etc . And put link in the last finished game with Wy. He should have the option to see this. Thank you
If Wy does not join in max 2-3 days (?) :
- you guys should speak together and decide: what next. For example: if you want to finish it very quickly - you can create and play the last 3-player game, with your setting, rules. For symbolic end and the last points (to the table).
Current victory-point status: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pGesqaTuZezHwVPgw-PL4OmAolVGTGCEpSux2-MUo4s/edit#gid=1872193134
or
- I can join the last two games (on the correct 'seed') instead of 'Wy', in this case the tournament will continue till the end. Defect of this solution is the fact that I'm very busy because of my job, so I can play badly and slowly (2-5 moves per day). I'm not a master player (the tournament showed it :) ) so you can also find someone stronger (who can help with continuing the last two games).
Friends, I'm waiting for your answer :)
