Thanks for the postive feedback, guys.
I remind everyone to feel free to post scout reports of the flag sites. My first scouts launched at the NE flag still are outbound (ugh). I have now launched for 3 days so soon a daily report will be available for each flag (though at different times for each flag).
Dlord has held the SE flag uninterrupted. H? has done the same for the SW flag. Both flags are being contested though. But so far the defenders have held tight.
The NW flag has seen much more action than I expected. Curse is really commiting the troops at that flag.
The N flag was an interesting choice by Peace. It looks like that they spaced their armies too far apart and lost the flag, at least for now.
The W flag has had several possession changes, too. The mighty T? have staked a claim and made thier appearance on the leader board.
The NE flag is a surprising choice (at least to me) for H? to claim. I expected H? to focus on the W, SW, and S flags.
It looks like there is a high level of player interest in this tourney and that is exciting.

I'm interested in hearing y'alls observations, too.
