How do I properly tag a topic as play-by-forum when creating it, and is there a way to fix it now that it’s wrong? Or should I just delete and recreate?
Fixed.

The tournament now consist of a total of 12 players which is incredible!
To think, just 2 weeks ago you were stressing the event might not even muster 8! Truly your Codex cup runneth over

Bad news everybody, though mostly for me. Last night I got a concussion with almost all the usual symptoms, and I’ve been advised not to do anything that would strain myself mentally or (especially) physically until those symptoms start tapering off. Right now my focus and concentration are so poor I can’t even hang onto the whole picture through 10-minute Youtube videos about things I enjoy, so this tournament is pretty far out of the question.
I’m committing now to not playing any Codex until this Monday, July 15th. Usual recovery times for this severity range from 1-2 weeks with a small tail risk of up to a couple months, meaning I may not even be ready to play on that date, but at least then I’ll re-assess. I don’t know what you want to do about this @zango . I really don’t desire to drop out, and hope it’s possible some accommodation can be made that avoids me getting an automatic round loss, but I don’t think I could finish a game of Codex right now even if I were willing to be reckless about my health. So ultimately I’m pretty stuck with whatever ruling you come up with for this scenario. Sorry to make your life hard

No worries @Titania all the best for a speedy recovery. In such a situation I’m sure everybody will be understanding and we can continue without you having finished the games. Keybounce can’t be expected to play three games in parallel, so I’ll at least wait for him to complete one of his matches before starting the next round and we can initiate the round after that without you having started that one. Let’s see how you’re doing then and we’ll decide on how to process then. Up until then I’ll cross my fingers for you.
And PS: as Bryce already announced an absence from Friday to Wednesday, I’m more than happy to give a bit more leeway on how fast the next round should be played out. I hope nobody else minds.

With @keybounce currently being ill I want to start the new round without waiting for this ongoing elimination game against @Unity .
We have to say goodbye to @James and the one that looses above mentioned game.
Next round then reads:

- [CAMS24] Round4: P1 Bryce_the_Rice [Finesse]/Discipline/Strength vs P2 dwarddd monoblue

The current standing then reads
@thehug0naut @rathyAro and @Steve44 are now also on elimination while we have the only two so far undefeated players @Titania and @Moby_Dick playing at the top of the list.
May the odds be ever in your favor, please enjoy your games and also please remember to post the rule changes at the top of each thread.
Edit: I had to adjuncate the last ongoing match. Therewith we have to say goodbye to @keybounce and the last match of this round can finally start. GL & HF @Steve44 & @Unity
Edit: Titania unfortunately had to drop

That Zango can post again…
Thanks Moby 
Dear all, I shortly wanted to inform you that the current round will take longer than normal.
Steve and unity were not allowed to start their game until a couple of days ago. Charnel announced to be afk this week. Titania is again having more serious trouble with the concussion. She will drop out unless it gets better again so I asked her to give it a couple of days, maybe a week and then try again.
With all that in mind I’ll not rush players in case they don’t post for 2 consecutive days and the grace period will be way longer than usual.
Enjoy the remainder of the current round!

Except for @Moby_Dick vs @Titania the current round is finished. We have to say goodbye to @thehug0naut and @Steve44 thanks for the fights you put up.
And here comes round 5, but please bear in mind that it’s not too unlikely that Titania has to drop out which then would result in a bye for @Unity

[CAMS24] Round5: P1 Titania [Finesse]/Feral/Growth vs P2 Unity monopurple- [CAMS24] Round5: P1 Bryce_the_Rice [Finesse]/Discipline/Strength vs P2 charnel_mouse [Necromancy]/Anarchy/Blood
- [CAMS24] Round5: P1 rathyAro [Feral]/Blood/Truth vs P2 FrozenStorm [Finesse]/Blood/Fire
- Bye: @Unity
On elimination are @FrozenStorm @Bryce_The_Rice @rathyAro and @Unity
As always: please remember to post the rule changes at the top of each thread, GL & HF everyone!
Edit: unfortunately @Titania did have to drop. So it is bye for @Unity . All the best @Titania and hope to see you again soon.

Oh, what a pity. Why did I drop out? Because I had 2 losses?
No no, you’re still in! You just received a bye. As the current round has an odd number of players one will not be paired into a match and is free to directly move into the next round without the risk of being eliminated. That’s what happened to you, all good

Yes, ‘bye’ as in ‘free pass’. I don’t know why that’s the term for it in English. Not ‘bye’ like ‘goodbye’ like ‘godbwye’ like ‘God be with ye’.

@charnel_mouse and @Unity friendly poke to please start your games
It just occurred to me that this would be true and that I had been playing it wrong all this time. I looked over my games from this tournament and the only time it came up and mattered was in my loss against Titania. I thought it was worth mentioning, in case there still is some penalty @zango
No, no penalties for old games, but yes that rule is a thing and we all should try to do it right.
Thanks for pointing it out!
PS: I’m no judge, but I’m fairly certain that there is no need for a proper judge call

@rathyAro Looking forward to the game. Just in case you think p2 would be better for you we can change. I have not solved how to play green starter. But I think p1 is better for you, since my deck is very strong as p1.
