NEW TOURNAMENT! (RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED)

[h3]ːHoly_Grailetː 07.05 12:00 PM GMT – 10.05 12:00 PM GMT ːHoly_Grailetː [/h3]
Just as in April, this tournament will have a different set of rules. Bribes of all players increased and there are more cards that allow extorting bribes from opponents or to avoid paying them. Being the Governor now is more profitable than ever before but the position is harder to keep because elections happen more often! So, manage your ːmaliceː carefully, prepare to pay more bribes, and don't forget to collect ːvotesː.
Good luck!

Sessions that count towards the tournament: ːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinːːbh2coinː (8)
For each defeated opponent ("defeated" means that at the end of a session the player has a lower final position than yours), you receive additional tournament points. The number of points depends on the number of victories (1st places) of the defeated opponents in the current tournament. Important: these additional points also are added to your overall tournament score retrospectively, when the players previously defeated by you achieve victories in the tournament – even if you already have reached the limit of sessions for the tournament. What this means is that you keep getting tournament points as long as your previously defeated opponents continue to play, and win.
During this tournament, regular rating points will be frozen for all the players. Your tournament sessions will NOT affect your regular rating.
Players get tournament points for the first 8 sessions played in the tournament on each of the servers. Any subsequent sessions won't give any tournament points, and won't increase the number of defeated opponents who give additional points. Nonetheless, victories of all opponents who were defeated in the first 8 sessions will affect your final tournament rating.
[h3]PRIZE FUND:[/h3]
Awarded: Top 10 players on each of the servers. In addition to the main prize fund, every player who finishes all 8 tournament sessions receives a special bonus player icon “Facepalm” (only if it has not been received before)!
