Are you still playing the tournament, or has it ceased to exist?
(I hadn't heard of it till now.)

I didn't know it existed, don't know why it's stopping, and still don't know what it is or where it is. Not much point trying to find out now, is there?

I hope it's not closing, I like to get my fix of beating the Americans. Even if Jules44 is the one who actually wins - hey, I'm behind her, okay? Some way behind but who's counting?

And to answer your question, Lesley, the war between the UK&Commonwealth and USA is fought across four daily tournaments - at the end of every month the scores for each battle are totted up, computed, and analysed. For the past seven months the UK&Commonwealth have won the battles and the overall war. Some of the best players on FT participate and a few of the rest of us tag along for the ride. It's fun. But now the webserver that hosts the number-crunching is closing down so it looks like the war may be over - and I may never be called an Invincible again! *sniff*

Thanks, Flopsy. Where are these tournaments - are they games we all play without realising that we're part of a greater plan, or is it something that only the great and the good of the FT are party to?

Either I haven't been looking in the right places or it's a well-kept secret. You wouldn't think I'd been here five years.

Sad - and it's been such a great 'grudge match'.

Thanks, MH. It's just a "private tournament" with frills - why is it ending?

And why didn't I know it existed till it was about to die? *rhetorical question*

I suffer from 'sympathetic retching' DG so if you're going to be sick watch out - I may be sick right back atcha. :)

DG and Flopsy, if you get sick at the same time, please clean up after yourselves.

Well, it looks like DG gets to be Gead Stableboy for the Great Insane Horse of Doom stables! DG, your suit is hanging in the office, and your job is to clean up after every Insane Horse of Doom in the stable! You seem qualified for that!

That’s like me and the real blogs (different, I know, and yet…)

I'm very curious...is this a tournament that was announced for all FT players? Where would I find an announcement like that (in case there's something similar in the future)?

I'm glad everyone's had a great time with it. :)
