Bangerz'z "Anything But First" Tournament [May]

Anything But First Tournament
Registration is now open! It will close on April 24th!
Raise your hand if you've ever helped bolster the first place player because you knew he/she could carry you to a second place finish?
Come on, we've all been there.
This series will finally give those second-place minions the recognition they deserve!
Fight for second in this series, because first place finishers walk away with nothing.
(BTW, I pretty much just stole this format from Topkilla with a few tweaks
)

Stage 2:
In this final game, the third place finisher is the winner of the tournament!
Stage 2 will consist of a single game with the highest scoring 9 players. The Goal will be 200 Neptunium and the map will be Balanced. We will plan to have this final game start June 1st.
Additional Rules (Subject to change before the tournament, if more suitable replacements are suggested)
1. You must build your first mine by day 5. This means at the start of day 5, there must be 9 mines on the map (given all 9 are still alive). Anyone without a mine at that time will be politely asked to sit still for the rest of the game.
2. If by the start of day 10, the game is not projected to finish by start of day 12, the host will contact me via forum pm. A third party will use a random number generator to choose a number 6-48. That number will indicate how many hours after the start of day 12 the game will artificially end. This number will be kept hidden from the players of that game. (This measure is to speed up the game in case players are stalling to avoid first place).
