I will be away from Feb 21 to March 2. Should I make arrangements that somebody else runs my first turns?

The games will start as soon as everyone has joined an uploaded their empires, or as late as the evening of February 25th. If anyone has not joined or uploaded their empires by that point they get bumped according to the rules of the tourney.

I'd say chances are very good that the first turn will fall during your absence. You should have someone available unless you trust the AI to handle it.

If all 25 remaining players join a game that gives us one game of 13 and one of 12 and it doesn't matter which is which and so leaving them both open makes as much sense as not. However since I don't know yet if all the rest of the players are going to sign up we could have ended up with 13 in one and needing to bump someone to even things up. This way we only need to bump someone if more than two of the remaining four eligible players don't sign up. Which I think is unlikely.

Yes, that is what I thought was the reason for this particular modus operandi.

However, for some reason there seems to be a preference for game2.

If all players join, would you be prepared to allow a player to move from Game1 to Game2?

Otherwise you are forcing all remaining players to join Game1.

Just so you do know that I have no personal stake in this, I have no desire to move to Game2.

This tournament sounds very nice. Too bad when it started I didn't know anyting about it because I didn't played SE4 at the time. I guess it will take very long before Survivor 3 start (if there is going to be such) but how long? I'd like to know how long I have to wait, few months or over year?

Well, Survivor 1 ran for more than a year. Survivor 2 started in August. It's hard to say how long it will Last but chances are it will be months.

There isn't a reason really we couldn't have separate tournaments running at the same time. I'd call it something else to avoid confusion. Would probably make it a different format too.

Taking suggestions for possible new tournament here.
