Paul is a slightly less bit of a bastard. He took all my cards and then gave them back in pity. What a glorious bastard.

Soooo, I figured out how to break the game. Get lvl 6 cards by beating the Queen of Cards with the plus/same rule using lvl 1 cards.
Lost to Quin because I was a smurfing retard.
Yeah, level 8 and up cards can only be obtained via the handout thread.
I guess I will just post the replay since I just watched it myself. :greenie:
Quin vs Mirage: http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=5406
Can't you remove it? It's so embarrasing.
Well, it's probably going to get posted here eventually anyway even if I remove thel ink I posted. =O
Still waiting for kotora to accept my request for the Fire tournament. :greenie:
Iceglow vs Formalhaut take 2 has been issued, waiting on an acceptance.
Goldenboko defeated me (finally). Up next, Me vs. Bleys.
Boko wins!
I'm almost tempted to throw the match to generate a 3-way tie.
(this post will make me look really bad if I actually lose, won't it?)
Third victory for me
I kept thinking he was trying to lure me into a trap and wipe the smug grin off of my face, but here I am, grinning smugly.
Haha! USA MOVES ON! IN AMERICA.
COME ON ULTIMA SHADOW DADDY NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES
can i have rantz's shoes too since he clearly just copied my hot tips
I'm freaking out over here. Am I going to qualify? D: I think I will!
I am freaking out! A lot. :p
Go, Quin! You can dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit!!!
Should I be freaking out?
Sooooo bored. Come ON, NCG.
So Citizen Bleys joins WildRaubtier in the semi-finals. Goldenboko claims second place in the group, but it is not enough to surpass Jiro.
Only two matches left to play, the inconsequential match between Jowy and Loony BoB... and the big one in Rantz v Quin. This will decide who the other two to go through will be. I think Jiro is all but through unless Quin manages to utterly destroy Rantz 9-1 or 10-0. If he does, Quin is going through!
Given that they have the best records, Bleys and WR will be in different semi-finals as they are "seeded", if you will. If Jiro does go through in second, he will face Bleys so as not to repeat the group match. Whoever wins Moogle will likely face WR.
Wait, what. Simply winning wasn't enough. That's trout. :(
Sorry duder. You had to beat Jiro. If we had 16 people I'd have the top two going through, so it's not your fault.
Still, you're probably going to be in officially 5th place! None too shabby!
Hrumph and I am about to lose to Coffman. We just better have more of these tournaments then :monster:
Aye, we should do this quarterly.
The match between me and Quin is slow going as we never seem to be online at the same time. :p If anyone wants to check our progress, here's the watch link. http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...t=live&id=5505
Well damn, now I'm glad I've lost to Rantz. xD
We have some turns left to take, but the result is all but certain. Will likely end 6 - 4, unless I can figure a way out or Rantz makes a Quin/Mirage level cock up! :D
EDIT: I'm online now! I'm just going through every possibility to determine my best moves! :colbert:
We got us a Sudden Death! I don't know if I could've kept that lead somehow - I'd go back and check, but inertia.
Psh, you kidding? Every other move I could have made would end in 6 - 4, I'm pretty sure. I got lucky with that Cactuar move, in that you didn't shut off that corner first haha. This is tense, man! :D
GJFywkfuyfguykqwefugggggghgghghhgh *dies in heart attack*
Another Sudden Death. We'll finish it this time, I promise! :D
I don't promise anything.
Honestly guys! I haven't been this excited since my birthday!!!
Is anything determined by who wins this match? I'm curious as to who else's fate rests in the balance, haha.
Also, it's like to be another Sudden Death. Sorry gang! :D
This is simultaneously the best and the worst match ever.
Aye, you seem to be pretty well matched, but don't forget that Sudden Death swaps one card from each person's deck to the other's.
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, at Sudden Death you end up with the same cards you end the last bout with. In a game where a lot of cards are flipped both ways, you may end up with pretty different decks than you started with.
Rantz is correct. We've played with different hands each round!
This match is just a matter of one person making a mistake. Whoever cocks up first will lose. I got lucky in the first round, as I managed to drag myself out of the dump, but that won't happen again! Great fun, this! :D
You two will probably eventually end up playing exactly the same deck the opponent started with, having switched decks completely! xD
Am I winning :greenie:?
An interesting game. The only winning move is not to play.
I'm looking forward to a match with WR. If we don't come up against each other in this tournament, I will most assuredly be issuing a challenge immediately upon its completion.
I actually already think that this battle between Quin and Rantz is the most epic TT match ever. It even beats that one were me and BoB had like 5 Sudden Deaths or something. What's this one up in? 6? xD
Um, I'm not sure. I think we're on our fifth round. Either way, we're about to have another! xD
Formalhaut has not accepted the repeated offer on the game.... how long do we give him before ruling the game as forfeited?
We're "only" on our fourth game by my count. But yeah, looks like another draw is coming up. xD The lack of a combo rule is sadly making the game much easier to predict.
Okay, that means we're on our fifth round now. Let's see if we can break Shads and BoBs Sudden Death record ;).
It's probably best to have either Open AND Combo, or neither.
Aye. I'm very happy about there being another Tournament, and these things should definitely be a quarterly event, but tournament level matches should never be Open. Well, no. Low level tournaments should be open, so as to not turn off the new players, but higher level matches should be Closed. :D
I am loving this, though. And there's no doubt that Open, plus the lack of Combo, is the reason our match has gone on so long haha.
EDIT: Hmm. Good point, Rantz. We could have tiers. Beginners tier: Open, no Combo. Intermediate tier: Open, Combo. Advanced tier: Closed, Combo. What do you think?
I think you need to finish your game. :colbert:
We're doing our best! :(
Though, I think that may be the problem...
The suspense is killing me.
Yeah, I agree. =]
I have challenged Quin and Jowy. Jowy declined because he couldn't do it at work and didn't want to leave the notification sitting there. Staring. So I'll have to resubmit that sometime. Or he can challenge me! Still waiting on Quin to accept.
Oh god, please don't confuse poor Quin with another game challenge. Dealing with one never-ending game is enough for the poor soul.
kotora finally accepted my request for the Fire tournament. And justgoing by the cards we both play, I do see a slight possibility of our match ending up getting some sudden deaths as well. It all depends though, so we'll see how it goes. :greenie:
Alright, I've beaten NCG, he can't make a move anymore that results in my defeat
http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...battle&id=4970
What does the bracket look like now?
I'll accept your challenge once this match is over Bob, haha. I've not eaten today, so a cock up is likely on my end! :D
Just to clarify, the two semi-final spots will go to two from Ultima Shadow, Rantz, Quin and Jiro, and this match will decide who they go to... depending on the score, although I assume it will be 6-4...!
Though I am highly tempted to call it a tie and eliminate both of them.
That's not very nice. :(
I need to win 9-1 or greater to go through, right? Well, I think you can determine who will go through based on that alone, haha. This is just a battle for honour now. ;)
I think their match is the most epic one ever. xD And I wouldn't call a tie quite yet though - I'd say let them at least finish the current one first. :p
Also, kotora finally accepted my challenge for the Fire match. It took some days before he did, so we're a bit behind on schedule for that reason I guess. I'll be playing my moves whenever I see he has made a move though. :greenie:
Only two games have been completed in Fire anyway. It looks like my timezones plan for Firaga worked well.
Haha, me and my dumb ass trying to force a draw and then forgetting that the unicorn could take my buel -_-
GG though. :greenie:
I win 7-3.
...could you post the replay by the way? If you haven't played more than 5 recent matches after this one, it should be in your TT profile. I have, however, played over 5 matches since ours started, so I couldn't find it. :p
For Fire, we're waiting on:
Goldenboko v Red Mage Coffman (which I understand is nearly complete?)
Jiro v MTKO (No idea)
Iceglow v Formalhaut (Issues...?!)
AK v NCG (apparently about to be finished and AK will win)
Didn't he use level 3 cards though?
Also re: BoB challenging Quin... Round 2 hasn't started! I haven't posted the rules for it yet. Although that will be the match up, we're not quite ready yet! Thank you for your eagnerness though. :)
Finish him!
I would, but like the frustration of every player of a turn-based online multiplayer.. it is not my turn yet.
MTKO and I are currently in our match. From where I am standing, it looks headed for a draw to start with.
http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...battle&id=4970
Yeah, we're done. My win 7-3.
Dennis you absolute failure you're posting the link to the battle not the replay...
FIXED!
How is it going, Steve and Formalhaut?
Also is the Quin v Rantz epic still going? I am wondering whether or not just to call it a tie. You two are obviously a perfect match for each other in terms of skill level. Although a tie would see you both eliminated and I don't know if I can do that to two heroic card warriors.
Yeah, it's still chugging along, haha. Can't be too long before somebody wins, though! :D
How about this: tie, but they are both rewarded with a level 8 card each for the most epic/even match ever? Their match can keep going until someone eventually wins anyway for the sake of honour, but the tournament can move on without having to wait, and they will both get a cool reward for their hard work. Just a thought. :p
Formalhaut just has the put the final card in but I've won. Replay here.
Well, let's see what Vivi22 has in store for me.
I won, but it was a good match. I spent a lot of time thinking, far more than can be said for my other matches :p
I always lose... :(
I was trying to get a "same", but as always it never pays off..
...do you mean "Plus"? Plus would have worked for your last card if that rule had been active. But "Same", which was active, works differently. "Same" means that the numbers facing each other must be exactly the same (a 4 facing a 4 and a 5 facing a 5 etc). Same is usually harder to pull off than Plus for this reason.
Also, Rantz hasn't made a move for almost 3 days now in the Quin vs Rantz battle. Is he thinking THAT hard on his next move? xD
Oh god, another inactive person. *sighs*
Sorry, I've been at a conference with work and forgot to notify y'all. I'd be fine with calling it a tie for the purposes of the tournament if Quin is. :p Don't want to make it drag on forever!
Ah, I see. Well, I figured you were probably busy or something. :p
I do approve of the tie-idea personally, since it seems like this could drag on forever, but I also think you and Quin deserve some kind of reward for this crazy epic TT battle. xD
...and I also hope that even if it's a tie in the tournament so the tournament can go on, you can eventually finish your game in a satisfying way, however long it might take. :p

You bastards. No faith, no faith. You know what? I'm going to win this just to spite you guys.
Edit: Actual results for our REAL match is totally secret and stuff!!! =O
I thought I'd be a REAL MAN and trounce Ultima Shadow using only Level 1 cards...with predictable results
So this is how it feels to be no longer undefeated.
EDIT: I'm just going to stop posting results, since my opponent ALWAYS gets it done while I'm typing.
You guys didn't turn on the plus rule. Which is a required rule.
Aye, if only I was a tiny bit more manly, I might have thought the same way and gone for level 1 cards too. But well played nevertheless!
Edit: Plus wasn't on? Bleys did set the rules, and I thought it was on, and played as if it was on. Ah well. :p
>< I read the rules for Fire round 1 instead of round 2.
We can replay or not, doesn't matter to me. Psy's call, belike.
edit: REPLAY!
then don't post the result, PM it to me ;)
Then let Shads issue the challenge to moron-proof the match :)
Awww. Well, alrighty! Gotta prove that I can win again then. :p
Also, didn't notice that the Open rule was supposed to be off until now. xD
Plussed Vivi22 like a boss: http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=6941
Smurf you guys and your predictions. 7-3 my way.
Honestly, everyone predicting me to win has never actually played against me before.
Maybe I was lazy and picked the first name in each match-up. :p
Why hurt me, FM? Why? What did I ever do to you?
your collective lack of faith in me disturbs me. Psy, bro you ought to know I won't take a defeat lying down.
Well, Steve, you do, else how else would I repeatedly dip my testes into your mouth? ;)
Place your bets, people! Last chance!
BetUltima Shadow, Loony BoB, Psychotic, WilRaubtier, Rantz, Jiro, Mirage, Vivi22. I hope I get a few of these wrong and some underdogs plough through. Such as me.
Accepting match now, BoB.
Also, I'm fine with calling Rantz vs. Quin a tie. I'd rather not hold up the tournament, haha. I'm still gonna continue with it, if Rantz doesn't mind. :D
Well we'll kick off Round 2 of Firaga tomorrow, so you fine fellas have until then to resolve this thing one way or the other before we have to call it a tie! I will also call BoB v Jowy a tie unless they've posted their result and I missed it.
No you were meant to, it's cool. You WEREN'T meant to tell everyone the result so that betting isn't messed up though :colbert: Oh well, betting is closed folks :p And the results are that nobody wins because everybody said v22 would beat AK!
Here, watch me and Faris's match. It was a humdinger. http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=6938
And here is Bleys vs Shads http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=6971
I was going to bet AK. Not because I doubted Vivi22, but because I know TT is merely a children's card game to him and he has no issues with being defeated. He would smite people in other situations though. Gotta hedge your bets.
We will now call Rantz v Quin a tie. Thank you for trying, fellas, but the show really must go on! So with that in mind, the semi finals will be:
WildRaubtier v Ultima Shadow
Citizen Bleys v Jiro
Rules:
- Combo
- Plus
- Same
- Sudden Death
- Victory Rule: None
Let's go to town here, boys.
Can I still bet on Vivi22 to win vs. AK?
Yes.
Incidentally, I am now taking bets on AK to lose his next match by an unprecedented 10-0. You will get 1 gil if it happens. Any takers?
Does Vladimir Putin have a manly chest?
Just to inform. If I ever get into evil science and take over the world (or at least destroy it), remember that it was because of you guys.
Challenge issued, we'll see if I can out play this guy and ruin all your bets. If I do win coincidentally I believe Psychotic for completely not believing in his bro ought to deliberately give me from his deck 3 level 7 cards.
Bleys vs. Jiro will be delayed until about 09:00 GMT so that neither of us are overtired or distracted during a tourney match, but we'll be playing live, so we should be done in fairly short order. No open rule reduces the chance of a Quin vs. Rantz-style stalemate.
I'm still looking forward to a match vs. WR.
Citizen Bleys and I shall meet at High Noon and duel for the right to enter the final stage! I'm excited to face either Shads or WR in the finals, assuming I beat down this Canadian first!
I sent WildRaubtier a challenge and am just awaiting his acceptance.
Quin vs. Rantz is over. I finally messed up and Quin didn't waste a moment in claiming the victory. What a man... :love:
Here's the replay. I count 6 draws, which means a magical 7 rounds. Perfect!
I had you from the moment you played Fujin/Raijin. ;)
Great match, my friend. Many thanks to this tournament for allowing me such an opportunity! :D
Now, on to suffering a humiliating defeat at BoB's hands.
Excellent! Incredibly well done, Quin. This is certainly a victory to be proud about! :cool:
Edit: Also, I just noticed: it looks like you and BoB are playing with the round 1 rules for the Fire tournament and not the round 2 ones. Just noticed this since me and Bleys made the same mistake. :p
Technically there's one move left, but Jiro hath officially defeated me
EDIT: Someone challenge me to Random/Closed/Trade Rule: None. I want to try that but can't decide on a victim.
I had to make up for my disappointing loss to WildRaubtier.
EDIT: Was it best of three or straight knock out?
There was nothing mentioned about it being best out of three, so I assume it's straight knock out. Though I think the final at the very least should be best out of three. :p
Also, Wild Raubtier has yet to accept my challenge, so it could take a while longer before the second finalist is determined. =O
Best of three isn't a valid tourney rule, it's either single elimination or double elimination.
Still no response from WR!
I'm happy to just assume Raistlin won and fight him with the Tournament rules :)
Whoops, yeah, been pretty busy/tired/excuses.
I'll send some match invitations out since the ones I recieved seem to have expired/been cancelled.
Sorry for being inactive guys. Iceglow, let's try to make a match happen pretty soon!
I know it has, I just haven't remembered it when I saw you online :p.
Straight knockout, to clarify.
Exciting times!
This round still not done?
Fire actually got three ongoing matches and two that hasn't even started yet (Raistlin vs WildRaubtier and Jiro vs Jowy). So yeah... the current round in Fire is not nearly finished yet it seems. :p
...as for Firaga, WildRaubtier just gotta accept my challenge so we can actually start playing the last semi-final match of the tournament. Come on, WB! We don't have to be online at the same time for you to just accept the request! :greenie:
Sent my request to Jowy.
I got it in my mind that I want to play the fire match first
I don't know why
Oh right you just called me WB JERK
Waiting on Raistlin to accept the challenge I'm pretty sure I sent him
Oh... AHEM... WR. R and B... uh... look so similar or something? Ahem. It was totally a fair mistake... I think. :greenie:
And awww, no Fire plus Firaga at the same time? And here I was hoping Raistlin would distract you so that I could win more easily. AHEM, I mean... uh... I hoped we could all be finished sooner. Yes, that's it! :shifty:
WildBaubtier. It has a nice ring to it.
John Wayne Baubitier?
oh god I hope somebody gets it if nobody gets it it means I'm old
Done! And since we're both online.....
You slug-a-beds.
I've always wanted to use that phrase. Slug-a-bed.
Been waiting for Red Mage Coffman to make his next move for a few days now. Where did he go :cry:
Jowy accepted, and I made my first move...!
*Impatience overload*
Another suggestion for the next tournament: some kind of predetermined time limit for making a move and accepting the battle requests! It could be a week, but at least no one would have to wait longer than a week then. :greenie:
Dear lord, it's a 3 min game. After a week still nothing?
So then me vs Mirage looking like the first round could go to a draw. Lets get it done though either way or am I making you think?
Yeah, and it would especially give people a good motivation to hurry up a little bit. It's not that hard to at least just play a card every time you go online. You might want to stop and think sometimes, but you shouldn't have to think for a week to make one move or decide what cards to use for your match etc. :p
Well myself and Mirage is in to the second round, we'll try not to make it another Rantz vs Quin epic duel of level 2 and 1 cards because that could be pretty damn testing.
Oh hey guys, the next tournament should be double elimination, and perhaps a "Fira" class, where we have up to level 7 or 8 cards, in addition to the two we have in this tournament.
I managed to defeat WR. Here's the replay.
Alrighty! Let's get on with our Firaga match right away then, WR! Do you still have my invitation?
Nope!
I look forward to the outcome of your match. I am excited!
Alrighty. My third (or perhaps even fourth) invitation has now been sent! :p
Do none of you want a shiny Level 10 card? :p
I do. And that's why I've tried to start my match with WildRaubtier for over a week now. And I'm still waiting. :colbert:
I win by default. :colbert:
I'm enjoying my match with Jowy, it's pretty tense. Just nailed a Same but there's no damn Combo :(
I'm starting to think that WR might need some kind of deadline for accepting my request (or just making his own if mine gets too old), seriously. Because this has dragged on too long already, and we've not even been able to start our match yet. :p
If he hasn't started playing by the end of this month, I win our match by default. :colbert:
BoB has been a little slow with our match because of the Ciddies. Sorry! We're one round in, because he failed to capitalise on my horrendously bad moves. :D
I think this proves that arranging you all by country for the group stage worked really well :p
