[Cs5500] [Cs4800] MMG Tournament Nov 29 - Results

[Madhuvanthi Balasubramanian]

David,

There were 6 avatars that were kicked out every round for proposing null
values as claims.
When it was their turn to propose first in a game and they propose null
values ,there was no way that the game could go on. The other avatar has
nothing to respond to.
So these games were never recorded, because these kicked-out avatars threw
exceptions and prevented the game from proceeding.

But in cases where these avatars played second, there was atleast one claim
made by the avatar that played first and so the game was recorded and the
second avatar was kicked out.
When it comes to the question of fairness, I believe it is still fair,
because every avatar got to play equal number of matches against every
other avatar (except Starbuck who I believe had signed out somewhere in the
middle of the game).

As to generating history files for games where avatars propose null values
the very first time , I'll look into the issue and keep you posted.
