[Ancients] It’s Time! The Second Annual Coin Imperator Tournament (2018)

Sorry you're withdrawing from the Tournament, Orfew. I'm not withdrawing (reason being I haven't joined !). But I'm sure we all appreciate Curtisimo's, and other's, efforts, myself for being honoured in a Giveaway !

I'm so sorry to read that @Orfew. Hope it's nothing serious and looking forward to seeing you cheering



Q

 

Best wishes and good luck whatever the problem may be.

 

@Curtisimo, I'm just trying to get caught up ( I've been out of the loop for a couple weeks) I just wanted to say you have really outdone yourself this time, with the spreadsheets and pie graphs and what-not! You've amassed an incredible amount of super interesting information! Amazing job, thanks!

 

I think you all know which team I'll be cheering for. The Chicago Daily Tribune said it best in this article....

 

Beware, France isn't dead.... yet



Q

 

Lol anyone who invokes Monty Python should automatically be declared winner of any difference of opinion well played France

I'm still confused as to what team I'm supposed to support as I have been told by @Severus Alexander that at some point since I moved here Minnesota was annexed by the Canadians... going outside in February can confirm this

 

Gotta be Team Canada, @Curtisimo.

 

You mean Canadians don't all look like this?

 

Tournament Update:
The tournament gods have seen fit to set all things right with the world and have offered the still undefeated @Ryro a chance to continue his quest to become the next CoinTalk Imperator by matching up against @Terence Cheesman in Round 2! We had a spot come open in the tournament and Ryro, who tied in his Round 1 rumble with BenSi, has agreed to fill in. I received several PMs offering to fill in for the tournament and I want to thank all of you for your offer of help. It is refreshing to know that interest is high and that people are having fun

Below is the new bracket.


As might be expected the changes have led to a slight change in the schedule for the Round 2 matches.

Current Active Matches:
We are currently already halfway through Round 2! Time flies when you're having fun. Below are links to the current matches and the OP has been updated as well.

Group 1

[Poll-17] #15 Jay GT4 vs #31 TypeCoin (Round 2) CIT 2018
This match features coins issued on behalf of two fascinating and historically important men whose lives overlapped in history... only they lived on opposite sides of the world! An interesting match up. Please weigh in if you haven't done so already.

[Poll-18] #17 dougsmit vs #32 zumbly (Round 2) CIT 2018
The bulls are angry and looking for revenge... but the mighty Augustus stands in their way. Who will prevail? Vote in this match and find out.

Group 2

[Poll-19] #7 BenSi vs #10 Cucumbor (Round 2) CIT 2018
This is an entertaining match featuring two awesome coins that came in at absolute bargain prices. You will definitely want to weigh in on this one if you haven't already.

[Poll-20] #14 iamtiberius vs #30 TheRed (Round 2) CIT 2018
Edward the Longshanks could take down feared assassins with a single blow... but can he handle a man hungry lion from the time of the diadochi? This is a really cool match featuring two very different coins.

 

Yay, Ryro's back! That makes perfect sense to use him to fill the vacated slot since he didn't lose the first round except to the equivalent of a coin flip. Good thinkin' Curtisimo!

 

Very good, and very kind of @Ryro to come back. Some would have felt offended and refuse. I like that good spirit and comraderie on CT

Q

 

Tournament Update:
It turns out I need a bit more time than I thought to get one of today's entries ready. Instead of posting only one match I will push the schedule back by one day.

I have edited the schedule above accordingly. Stay tuned for more awesome coin match ups tomorrow afternoon

 

I am in!!!

 

Too late

 

Hello @Nathan Waters . Unfortunately the entry period closed a couple of week ago and we are already finishing up Round 2 of the tournament.

I will definitely put you on the alternate list in case someone drops out and I hope you will still follow along, vote, and comment in the threads. There is always the 2019 tournament as well!

 

Awwwww =( and unfortunately a couple weeks ago I wouldn't have received my first ancient coin either. Oh well. Thanks for the information, though!

 

As I said, though, feel free to follow along. In this game spectating, voting and commenting can be as fun as playing!

 

I'm having far more fun as a spectator than I would have as a player but I'm very happy that so many people wanted to participate

Thanks again for such a fun and carefully constructed tournament, @Curtisimo!
