Ahh! Didn't realise he'd flipped Peninsula and Naval round from his original proposal :)

So, Erik, how are you deciding the semi-final draw? Names out of a hat?

I propose most active forum user among participants as the tie-breaker. Sounds fair to me.

How about we remove the naval map and replace it with the fork or dubno fields, maps that will unlikely end in a tie. How about one of the custom scenarios grey vs red? Thats my vote.

So i think it would be better for me to give away the victory to dolphin instead of continue as i can’t play for all that time and I wouldn’t want to slow the tournament down for a whole 2 weeks. I hereby will resign and let the others play further. So good luck to dolphin and all others that are still in the tourney.

Fabio, have a nice vacation, thank for your game, i hope i see you again.............. :D :wink:

I'm up for that- not sure about dubno fields as it's too big with too much RP, but something small a-la-Boot Camp would be my preference.

Unless everybody still involved protest vehemently, the next round will be the modified Naval scenario.
Players should know the drill by now :D

The next matches will be:

13obo vs dolphin0810

a432 vs ruskicanuk

13obo, You are suppose to wait and see if the other 2 contestants would like to play a different map too :( if all 4 of us ask for a different map we will not have to do all this swimming...

I wasn't aware I was supposed to wait... At this time, I'd really like to get this tournament finished. The anxiety of waiting is not fun anymore.

Haven't heard any of the other 2 contestants protesting either. Besides, another map would mean Erik needs to mod it, which means further waiting.

I'd rather we play the maps that have been set out.

Sigh, I hope your backstroke is strong. A swimming we go :(

Another question, will there be a battle for 3rd and 4th? Will the losers of this round face each other?

Oh also another question. I'm guessing yes, since this option comes as default on, but are we suppose to use "customized starting force"?

The "Custom Starting Force" option is not on in my games I just hosted and wasn't "on" by default. My guess is you've turned it on during a previous game you hosted and it carried over as being "on" ?

Ya seems you are right. That option just stays to whatever you last used. Question remains do we use or not?
