Hi everyone,
Welcome to the second season of Snail Cup Championship! We're so happy to see all the returning players as well as all the new faces! Who will be the champion of Snail Cup this time?
Apologies for the wait, and we plan to launch Stage 1 this Friday (Oct 21). Players will not be able to join or leave the tournament after 11:00 AM (UTC) on Oct 20. (Edit: We postponed the dates by one week due to technical issues with the tournament website. Thanks for your patience!)
For Stage 1, you will each be assigned to a group of 9 players and play eight 2p games against everyone else in the group exactly once. Your games will be divided into 4 batches which are launched weekly on Fridays.
Thanks again for joining, and best of luck in the tournament!

SnailZane

Note that the schedule of this tournament is delayed by 1 week due to technical problems (check the updated announcement by @sqwndw). Good luck again and have fun!

MindKillazz Hi, thanks for asking! Sorry we're full at the moment, but please stay tuned for the next seasons of our tournament if you're interested!

Hi everyone,

We are seeing technical issues with the tournament as one of the groups does not have the correct number of prepared games. Our best wishes for CGE to get these issues fixed soon, and we probably need to wait until then before we can start. Thank you for all your patience.🙂

MindKillazz

Ok. Thanks for answer !

Hi everyone,

The issue with our tournament has been fixed (thanks CGE!), and we are all set to go now! We plan to launch Stage 1 next Friday (Oct 21). Again, thank you for your patience, and best of luck in the tournament!

Hi! What happens in games when a player runs out of time but the AI incredibile manages to win? I underestimated it and I lost my duel. quite embarrassing…. I know :-(

SnailZane

Raistlin3m Unlike most other tournaments, a player replaced by AI does not mean an auto-win in this tournament. (If we use the auto-win rule we have to doublecheck and recalculate all the points manually, which also brings inconvenience for players to confirm their standings.) So for every player whose opponent becomes an AI and the result of that game might be critical, still try to win the game and don't resign or abandon the game.

I CANT EVEN PLACE ANY EVENT AT SOME GAME, at season 2 group 21 game 25 at the last round.
THE SYSTEM JUST SKIPPED MY POLITICAL PHASE, WHY!!?!?

I have encountered a consistency bug in Group 2 Game 1 which prevents me from continuing the game. I reported the bug yesterday and once more today, using the in-game functionality - hoping that the CGE support can resolve it in time (have 15 hours left in time reserve for whole age at the moment).

SnailZane

Sunmaster14_LV I'm sorry I just saw this. Looks like the game is still running for now. Unfortunately we can't help you directly with these issues except sending an email to CGE as well, but if a bug does influence the top 3 players of a stage, we may find out an alternative solution together, depending on the circumstances.

Hi SnailZane & guys from "Group 3"!

I always played mobile version of TTA which was purchased from Google Play. Recently it was updated and stopped working without latest version. Unfortunately, Google has closed access to paid applications for users from Russia since March 2022, including previously purchased ones. I live in Moscow, so now I have no access to the app. I will have timeout in all my games. Sorry about that. It was really exciting to play with all you.

Cheers, GrandHedgehog

SnailZane

GrandHedgehog Thanks for letting us know. Hope everything gets better soon.

Hi, Stage 2 group 3 game 21 is stuck for quite a long time on "Almost your turn". One player ran out of time and whenever i load that game, it crashes while the AI makes its turn.

SnailZane

Netopier I reported the bug. The game should be fine now.
