Connect 4 [Finals! START 6/11/2015]

[Enzap]

Hello, and welcome to the strategy puzzle contest of wills inspired by "The Vertical Checkers Game" Connect Four!

Spoiler

How to play:

• I will accept sign-ups for 8 players and up to 3 alternates if we have enough interest. If you are interested in playing, just post here, and I will edit your name into the OP
  
• Once accepted, I will split you up into 4 pairs. The other person in your pair will be your opponent. The odd-numbered player will be X's and the even-numbered player will be 0's. X's always go first.
  
• You will each take turns placing X's and 0's into the following matrix:
  
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  _ _ _ _ _ _ _
  
  You may chose to place your marker in any column that is not filled, but you must place your marker into the lowest available slot in your chosen column. When one player has made their move, the second player copies the matrix, makes their move, and mentions their opponent. There will be multiple games running simultaneously within one thread, so be careful to copy the right matrix!
  
• Once one player has 4 consecutive pieces in play in a straight line (vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), that player wins! Mention me (or whoever is moderating that particular game) when the game is over
  
• The winners will then face off against each other until we have two players left. Whoever wins the final match wins the entire game!

Rules:

• All forum rules apply
• No altering the matrix outside of making your move during your turn
• In order to reduce clutter, once a game has begun please do not post unless you are a player taking your turn, the moderator of the game, or if you need a dispute settled

Example of finished game:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ X _
_ _ _ _ X X _
_ _ 0 X 0 0 _
0 0 X 0 X 0 X

If you have any questions about the rules or the game in general, please ask them in this thread BEFORE the first game begins or by VMing or PMing me.

In. What makes this game a war room game and not a Fun and Games game?

The strategy/longevity elements of it. The staff decided it wold be more appropriate here. And if this goes well we're hoping to expand to similar style games in the future.

I'm always up for a good stratergy game, I'm in.

Oh, and @AussieEevee;, I would've signed up for your game, but Engie's one has started and yours is too similar to a mafia game for me to be able to keep track of everything.

Re: Connect 4 [Sign-Ups OPEN 25/10/2015]

I'll give it a go.
@BadAssGardevoir; Mine has mafia-style powers, but it isn't a mafia game, so I think it should be easy for you to handle

1 player slot left. Once I get 8 players I'll probably close sign-ups so we can get started, but if anyone else wants to sub after that they can just message me.

Alright, Mr. Zap. Considering how inactive MotW and STAB have been, I've got time for this, so count ME in.

Re: Connect 4 [Sign-Ups CLOSED 26/10/2015]

Okey dokey, that's 8 players. If anyone else wants to be listed as an alt/sub then message me separately please.
