I would echo Slim as much as I hate doing that. Give congrats to those that played and played well, thank Bad Girl for setting it up and Vulcan for hosting and move on. It isn't the first game that had problems and Darn sure won't be the last (unless people get tired of the hassle of setting up/hosting a game).


It is amazing that anyone would THANK badgirl for this Sham of a a so called tournament...The lie she posts above is only second to the number of changes in mid game to this tournament..
Luckily this game has been archieved and not destroyed so it can be continued anytime one of the "winners" actually wanna play it.

Straight from the US Open website HOT HOT HOT off the presses...well maybe not so hot.Just a mere Week ago!

I guess some people didn't like my decision to let the game go to last man standing... It seems it lit a fire under a couple of corps last night, Corp 2 took it in the shorts ...big time...I hope the game continues to be a blood bath like it was tonight. Hey even Pica got a pod and a kill.... Way to Go Picard


It only took BadGirl 7 days to flip flop on this issue!!! VERY GOOD!!!!!

I think the only fair thing to do is list Stocky as the winner because he had the most kills and poddings!

omfg, its a game, it became fubar, walk away and move to the next.
it's not the world cup, it's not the super bowl, it's one single tradewars game out of MANY.
let it goooooooo


When Corps 1 and 5 either concede the game or contest C4, The Royal Flush Gang, as Winners of USO 2006, we will let it go. Under current circumstances, Corp 4 is the only team willing and ready to continue this game and is therefore the only team who has fulfilled the original posted requirements for winning.

Queen of Hearts
Corp 4, The Royal Flush Gang
Winners of the USO 2006

you make me sad in the pants snow

I personally think Muss should be declared the winner because he just stayed in a holiday inn express.

No Muss, no fuss.

Does anyone remember the very 1st Us OPEN?? here is a copy of the end game letter posted at egroups..

quote:After 60 grueling days of building and killing and sst'ng the First
Annual U.S. Open has come to a close.

I would like to thank all the traders who entered and played so well!

Congrats to Space Ghost, Zoobar, Lancez, Kavanagh, Epicenter and Krank
for being #1. You guys worked hard and never gave up even when your team
captain was the first to be eliminated for most deaths <grin Space
Ghost>!

2nd place went to Peacemaker, Leila, Karon, Dietrich, Rawhead Rex and
Lyran. They were a quiet bunch, but could they build!

3rd place went to Night Stalker, Acid, Satan, Animal, Kosk and Sillk,
Now this was a group who could make figs!

Team with most Kills went to Space Ghost Team.

Trader with individual most kills went to DarkHawk.

#1 Corp went to Master P
#2 Corp went to Peacemaker
#3 Corp went to Zoobar

Thanks again to all the players and to Evolution for giving up there
Twwars game for 60 days so that we could run the US Open. Evolution bent
over backwards for the U.S. Open giving all traders free unlimited time,
adding more telnet lines. Thank you Evolution.

Dont believe it...Just another Bad Girl Mistake...History Repeats itself over and over..The letter above is complete crap because it was wrong..just as this years is WRONG and remarkably complete crap as well.

What do you mean it is a lie? What is the truth then? I want the truth gosh darn it, just give me the truth... no, no it does not matter that I may not be capable of handling the truth, I still want it! So just give it to me, no Rexx stop it don’t backtalk myself, ok, ok, I got it, just stop it already, alright! …ok fine then be that way, as if I really care anyways! Haaa! [:P]

History ladies and gentleman....I have been kicking myself for not learning from HISTORY !!! Does anyone remember the 2nd US Open???This tournament was announced and advertised as a Points based tournament set for 60 days with a death limit...Just another Year like any other...

Now this game was ended early because the the MODERATOR decided the game should be called early since the points lead was significant at the time....Now realize Thats both the Sysop of the Board AND Barbs boyfriend/fiance/partner were both on the winning team at the time of this decision...It didnt matter that the 60 days hadnt been reached yet...it didnt matter that anyone on either team could of been elminated or that anyone on either team could of accumalted more points,,,,NONE of that matter when THIS game op decided to END it she ENDED it........HISTORY Learn from it...or you will end up wishing you had.

well, without knowing the exact details of the points... if c1 had a 99% grid with 99% of the fighters and no eliminations and c2 and c3 each had 1 player with 1 death left and were in scout mauraders with 15 figs, 500credits, and no planets, and it was day 59... ok, call it early.
but, all i can say is:
"So, SG, playing USO 2007?"
heh
