Ditto to that. I don't even really have a good excuse besides the fact that I've got exams left right and centre.Quote:

I highly doubt I'm good enough to take down Rantz.
Well... Cim beat Rantz, you beat Cim. So who knows?
Though if Rantz wins... does that mean you will all have to play each other again? :monster:
No objection :)
Time to start calling matches. I gave as long as I possibly could for the first round of blizzard!
kotora v Formalhaut:
Due to a lack of Formalhaut (along with an inevitable victory by kotora), Formalhaut has been disqualified and kotora moves on!
Rocket Edge v Pantz:
Not sure where Rocket Edge went! Gotta disqualify him :( Series goes to Pantz!
theundeadhero v Cim:
Can't seem to find their second match, don't know if it happened, but Cim won the first so handedly that I'm going to give him the series Replay.
Next bracket for Blizzard goes up soon! Congrats to the following who will be advancing in Blizzard:
1. Gzussaves
2. Cim
3. Faris
4. Vivi22
5. Pantz
6. Ultima Shadow
7. Locky
8. kotora
9. Jiro
Well, hopefully the second Blizzard round will take less time since less people remain. :monster:
...also, did Jiro and BoB both lose? =O
Jiro beat me in Blizzard. As for Blizzaga, I just rocked Faris' world.
http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=8436
I should not play right after waking up. :jess:
Good games you guys and good luck to the rest of you!
Ah, then Jiro should be on the Blizzard list as well.Quote:

Bleys vs. Rantz, 8-2
Jumbo Cactaur again.
Well that was a very back and forth match! Always hard to predict with Plus/Same and no Open.
These are my excuses for losing 2-8 against Bleys. :shobon:
I love Closed games :)
Great job, Bleys. I'll bebetting againstcheering for you next round. :c)
It becomes more of a guessing game. The more you have mixed up your cards in previous matches, the harder your cards will be to predict though, and Bleys has done a very good job at that. I didn't see that Jumbo Cactuar coming either, and seriously thought you had won the game the moment Bleys played Propagator (I knew you had Tiamat).Quote:

Looks like the 3 finalists for Blizzaga have all been decided too. Is there going to be a "grand final bracket" since there are 3 finalists? =O
Edit: Also, Jumbo Cactuar = most awesome level 7 card. Period. :monster:
Time for Blizzard ROUND 2!
To start, this round had a built in bye, since there are 9 contestants. And Cim, having one with the best ratio 9-1, advances to the third round without having to play! Great job Cim! Next these brackets were decided by a randomizer... good luck all!

Talk about an upset. Well played Shads.
I'll jump on the bandwagon with Rantz and blame "No Open" after all. :monster:
Naww, well played. And good luck. Now, you better win the whole tournament!
Well, before this I would have picked you to win, so yeah, guess I better step up.Quote:

Jiro vs. Pantz 4-6
Well done to Pantz. Was smurfed from the get-go with both of those rounds, but ggs!
Sadly we have to keep these things moving. GoBo is working on a schedule that he better keep to! :argh:
Sorry Shauna! :( Things have been very hectic in my life - unforeseen circumstances! With that said, our 3 Blizzaga round victors have been decided!
Shads, BoB, and Bleys! I don't think anyone predicted that but I have to double check. Will edit in people who got it right if any exist! Next round will be up today! :)
S'all cool. xD
Congrats to all the winners! Of this round! Good luck with the next one! :3
Hey all! I have to be on a train in 1 hour so I'm making this quick. Will fill in results from last round later, and will pretty this up later.
BLIZZAGA SEMI-FINALS

That's right, one. The games are open again, but no competitor can just power through with overwhelming force... without risking that overwhelming force! ;D Good luck all. Top two competitors of this round go to the Finals!
EDIT: Betting - predict the two finalists.
Challenge sent to Bleys. Bring it on. :cool:
I'm betting on Shads since he has some overwhelming force to spare.Quote:

Edit: actually, screw that. *challenges BoB right away*
Yeah I've got not chance. xD
I so totally didn't see that Catobeplas coming. :smug:
this is actually pretty cool.... it is my first time looking at it but I loved TT in FXIII, if anyone is up for a friendly do let me know. Id like to give it a spin.
**I just saw you have to purchase cards with gil? ahrmmmm ... I feel like such a noob sometimes... or old and obsolete.
Start by buying some level 1 packs - they are very cheap so you got enough gil for lots of those. Then, just challenge the low-level AIs to win more cards and gradually work your way up to the higher level AIs that uses boss cards. Or, if you feel confident enough in exploiting same/plus etc, you can challenge the high-level AIs right away with your level 1 cards. :monster:Quote:

I don't know why that would be my first move. ;_; There was only one plus to get out of it. Unless I mis-added. I kind of caved at some point (read: within a minute xD) and just threw something on.Quote:

It wasn't the only move I took into account, but I figured that you'd miss the counter-Plus with Minotaur. And without that - even if I blocked your plus, you would easily be able to take Catobeplas back from below, which would also create a "square" in the lower left corner, only leaving room for the upper row and the right row... which in turn could have been much more favorable for you than the current situation and could, probably, at least have led to a draw! :monster:Quote:

Yep. There was exactly one move that BoB could make that would result in him losing. All the other possible moves, including the one he made, were safe win-moves though. So yeah. BoB's win is now 100% guaranteed, meaning I did get both of my predictions right! :greenie:
Actually, that would have resulted in a draw, not a loss.
Nah, both the Propagator and the Bomb would have flipped, and the Propagator would also have comboed the Admantoise, thus making it a 6-4 win for you. :pQuote:

Same Wall
Closed (AKA Not Open)
Elemental
Good luck BoB! Will go through Blizzard matches and see if we can get that tournament moving later tonight! :)
Finally! :hyper:
Never would I have predicted 50% of that final in the beginning.
Won the first round. I think this is the first match in which I've made use of the Same-Wall rule. I gotta admit... that rule is still a bit unfair, since I'm the only one benefitting from it in this final. :p
For the next round, we've decided to add an inofficial rule and use cards of 5 different levels, maxing out at 7. That way, we will be on perfectly even ground. If I'm going to win, I might as well try to prove that I can do it without the power advantage too. :cool:

"...you say that, yet you did lose
to Vivi22 in Blizzard during those
very same circumstances. Don't
get too cocky, or that crown
might slip away before you can
even say 'chocolate banana'."
...shut up Bern. That was the one odd time I just so happened to mess up... which is what I shall prove by winning this grand final without any unfair advantages! And keep chocolate bananas out of this! :colbert:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ernkastel2.png
"...yes, abuse your full power to win the
first round, then pretend to play fair during
the second one only to fall back to your
overwhelming power if you'd happen to screw
that that one up. Totally fair indeed."
...husssh! :colbert:
Pretty sure I've beaten you on even grounds before. Of course, I played a lot more seriously back then. =x I HARBOUR HOPE.
Aaaaaaaaaand, Ultima Weapon brings me victory in our second round. The Blizzaga throne is mine!
gg, BoB! That was pretty darn exciting. :greenie:
Edit: I would also like to add that I got 1 of my predictions for the top 3 right, and both of my grand final predictions right (who would progress to the grand final, that is). :greenie:
With Blizzaga decided lets focus on blizzard!
Everyone fill me in if I miss stuff this is what I've found thus far

Which means we're waiting on one game from kotora and Gzussaves!
Ooh, Veev beat Shads? Awesome. :D That certainly makes things more interesting. Well done to Tara & Dak, too.
Final match of Blizzard's current round: http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...t=live&id=8707
Alright, so kotora has been sitting on the winning move for a couple of days now, which means they have another match to go. If the other match isn't played out by Friday, I'm disqualifying whosever turn it is so we can start the next round :colbert:
im still waiting for kotora to accept the invite ... i want to win fairly :( but rules is rules.. come on kotora log on send me a message with a good time and lets get this over with XD
and looks like kotora didn't accept the invite :(
I was wondering when this was going to continue. :c)
I think kotora is out in the mountains getting high at the moment.
Just came down, who I gotta play now?
The only awesome thing about it is my awesome amount of bad excuses. :colbert:Quote:

Sadly this needs to move on so I'm disqualifying kotora. Next round will be posted late tonight!
Here were the previous games...
With kotora being disqualified that leaves the next round as:Quote:

Sent out all my invitations at once. Come at me bros.
Quick public apology for having this drag out so long. Running two of these at once was hard :shobon:
That's what she said!
Heyo!
I am so screwed now.. but hell i am gonna go out swinging... bring it on
Pantz goes for a classic square-trap and Gzussaves watches in despair as Pantz snatches the lead with 6-4. But perhaps Gzussaves can still turn the table with an unforseen scheme?
Will he go for "plan a: pulverizing power-penguin", or "plan b: invincible monopoly-monarch"? Only time will tell!
You're getting too into this game, Shads. :lol:
Says the person who always goes for "the tactical minesweeper mole". :colbert:
im so bad at this that i dont understand how is 4/4 took the 5/5s around it
That's the Plus rule. :) There's an explanation of it if you're interested.
Ahhh! A far too risky Power Penguin got itself pulverized by a Super Safe Slug from Rantz! Things are now looking even more grim for Gzussaves!
ok i checked the plus rules before somewhere else and i guess they did a crap job of explaining it.. but the one you linked makes me get it thanks.... but always having the counter sucks... quit it pantz
Holy crap you got all this way without knowing the Plus rule!?!
Congrats dude, should get a prize for that. xD
well i though i knew the plus rule... from what i read was if the 2 edges on the 1 card add up to more than the ones it is touching then it wins... but whatever like i said i am bad at this game so i am just having fun with it and doing my best /fistpump
Sorry G-zuss! xD It's true, quite an accomplishment to get this far.
And with a sneaky Joking Juggler, the Pantz-man ensures victory. Even a plus or same won't save Gzussaves now.
As I though, Gzussaves should have gone for the Invincible Monopoly-Monarch into Double-Trap Dojo instead.
Meanwhile, it looks like Cim plans to bring Rantz down with a Tripple-Stalling Turtle, trying to buy time for a Table-Turning Gorilla on his third turn. But will Rantz allow it to go that far, or will he once again deploy his infamous Minesweeper Mole to save his ass? We'll soon find out.
Edit: Interesting development as Rantz does indeed go for a Minesweeper Mole, denying the Table-Turning Gorilla. But can Cim pull off an "Awaken the Crab King 180?" The dreadful move that has brought my own defeat at least twice. If so, this could spell trouble for Rantz unless he can counter it with a successful Rising Cobra.
Pantz vs. Gzussaves
Pantz vs. Vivi22
Pantz vs. Locky
3 down, 1 to go! :radred:
Aaaand Pantz vs. Cim
4 wins out of 4! :D
What is this I don't even D:
I am shamed.
Aww Cim.
I was rooting for you :(.
I knew I should have taken that spot, I knew it.
*Is away but gets his hands on temporary internet access and quickly analyzes the situation*
Impressive win-streak by Rantz there. Though he had to rely on a Blind Bandit's Buckler to beat Cim. It was a close call there.
I feel for Cim. Those 50/50 situations are so painful. Especially when you get it wrong. =(
Against Locky, he attempts an Awaken the Crab King 180 himself but comes out empty handed and it all turns into a draw. However, with new strategical information about Locky's army, he carefuly manipulates the second round into an inevitable Rising Cobra.
Vivi22 puts up a good fight too, but Rantz going for the Baiting Turtle into Table-Turning Gorilla into One-Eyed Bandit's Buckler is simply too much for Vivi to handle.
Well done, Rantz.
...oh, and... all of the above makes perfect sense by the way. :colbert:
I am never making a move in TT ever again when it's still morning. Too dangerous.
well so much for that round vs cim.. misread numbers and failed pretty hard... reminder, dont make a move after just getting home from a rough 12 hour shift
Can I get an update on these matches everyone?
my loss vs cim
my loss vs vivi
pants already linked our game and the invite is out to locky, just waiting on the accept to start
Right and Locky is currently moving to Australia... I might ask her if she wants to continue or not...
Whoops, looks like others have posted my results for me. Need to set up a game with cim.
Accepted game with Vivi :c) Hopefully i can continue to not be a turd and win.
Locky has officially dropped out!
This means...
Pantz is 3-0
G is 0-3
Both Vivi22 and Cim are 1-1! Their match determines which one of them goes to the FINALS! Woooooo~
whatever.. this newb made it to the semis!!!! /flex.. good luck you guys
You guys are going to have to make a move eventually :exdee:
Waiting..... :c)
Sorry, I've been busy as hell the last two days and apparently TT doesn't send a message when someone accepts your game, even though it tells you when they make a move.
No worries! :c) I like that they finally set up the notification when it's your turn.
Indeed.
And Cim has trounced me by the way. Sorry to let you down shads.
You still have one move!!
What? Try refreshing. I already made my last move and left the game. It wouldn't affect the outcome anyway.
Refreshing worked, you must have made your move pretty quickly because I didn't wait and I never got a notification. Great game, though :c) I had fun!
It was a great game. Only one move I wish I could take back so I must have done reasonably well. :exdee:
Can't believe this is still going on xD
Uh... Finals?

He played so well that round I couldn't decide if I was playing like trout or if he's just that good. I prefer the not open rule xD I forgot the whole time he could see what I was planning because Open.

Open rule = best rule. I didn't use to think that, but now it has become my fav rule actually. And I believe the same goes for Rantz, for he is pretty darn good at making use of that rule as well. :pQuote:

I love the Open rule because it removes the unpredictable element which is where Ultima Shadow always nailed me. Mind you, Shads is able to win the match with only a single card placement, so knowing exactly how doom is coming to you for the rest of the game is kind of terrifyingly depressing.
Rantz takes Blizzard! Great job to all the competitors! I'll be going through and compiling all the results in the first post. Then a new rewards thread will be made in the wonder square! Until then, I'm unsticking this!
Congrats! :D
