End of The Tinker's Tournament

The Tinker's Tournament is now over. vCrow have come in first place with 198 days, 4hrs and 41 minutes spent on a tournament square. Queen Bikini had the following to say:
 I can only say that this tournament was just awesome. In particular was the battle for the Perri square. 7 million troops fought and died. Dlords and Vcrow had so much fun and nail biting for a square that was not decided until a little over an hour left in the tourney. Vcrow members both big and small participated in what was a huge alliance turnout. Hats off to all the alliances that participated and thanks to Dlords for making it do down to the end in one very hard fought square that will become the legend of Perri.

VTX were a close second with 196 days and 49 mins. Mahaut gave this statement to the Telegraph about the tournament:
Congratulations to Vcrow for winning
Great fun, good fights, very enjoyable tourney. I do believe that overall a 3 week one would be better though, by the 4th week it tends to turn into a bit of a slog and we've all got real lives (shock horror!!).
Kudos to nCrow, eCrow and SkB for some excellent battle tactics.
I have no idea where most of our troops have ended up we'll be rummaging around to get that sorted out for weeks lol
Thanks to the devs for organising it.

nCrow managed to take third from SkB in the last couple of days of the tournament with 193 days, 5 hours and 37 mins. Rill had this to say about it:
I am, as always, proud to be a part of the Nest.

The Telegraph would like to congratulate all involved, this was a fun tournament and hopefully there will be more like it in the future, both player and dev run.
