Diplomatic Go 🗡 The Second Game

End of Round 24

image@Haze_with_a_Z collided with a preexisting stone for their first move, but managed to place their second choice.
Everyone else played their first choice, which is a pass, for the last time, in case of
image Orange.

The last time, since the orange stones around image G2 have no liberties left, as do the “old” stones at image M3 and image N2. These are removed from the board. The stone at image N3 is “new” and gains liberties from this capture, thus is not removed from the board.

Any player with 8 stones or less on the board is eliminated at the start of Round 25.
Since all orange stones are removed from the board, Orange / @martin3141 is now indeed eliminated from the game. All other players enter Round 25 with at least 9 stones, and therefore are not eliminated.

Sorry to be late again…

In the absence of a move submission from @le_4TC and @Leira, Round 25 will be extended 24 hours.

The new deadline is 2020-11-18T21:00:00Z.

Welp, it was bound to happen eventually I guess :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Somehow got mixed up with the days and thought I already submitted this round.

I’ve submitted now, and since it was not my intention to extend the deadline, I would not mind if the round was ended immediately (but maybe that’s not appropriate).

If I had been 10 minutes later, the round would’ve continued… So I presume nobody would mind if I continue it right now

Wait, scratch that, apparently @Leira hadn’t submitted either!

Has Leira submitted now? :slightly_smiling_face:
