    That was quite the nail-biter, wasn't it?

    Beat Faris. I think I'm getting a slightly better handle on the rules than I had a few days ago.

    I was actually way overconfident in the last sudden death just because I was up one card.

    I actually said "magnificent" out loud when you flipped that around.

    This tournament has definitely been more fun than the last.

    Blizzard Bracket: Cim and me

    Game 1 was a tie http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=8108
    I won game two http://home.eyesonff.com/tripletriad...replay&id=8108

    We never had a game three. I'm not sure if we're supposed to.

    I sent my request to Kotora, and I've not got anything back so far.

    Hell, this 'best of 3' is going to take a looong while.

    kotora has now made his third move. After kotora's next move, I will only have one move left, and by then the final result will be 100% decided (though kotora will have to put down the very last card too for the match to officially end).

    ...it also seems like my prediction was a bit off after all. Now, I think I will win 8-2 rather than 7-3.

    Indeed, however I'm attempting to get some really interesting games this time which I think playing more games would help.

    Next round I'll enact some rules to make things go faster.

    ...still waiting for kotora's second last move. Soon reaching that 48 hour wait for a single move again.

    Meanwhile, me and Jiro got our match going.

    Edit:

    Finished: Me vs Jiro. (6-4)

    Good match. Now, only kotora's final moves are left. Then, I'll have finished every match in the bracket.

    How come you both finished your matches with kotora so quickly, while I'm still waiting for him to make his 4th move?

    He says he forfeited the match with you, which is weird because there's no sign of it being over.

    Edit: If he forfeited and it's counted as 7-3 that's so unfair, if he brought it up to at least 6-4 I would win the bracket by my calculations

    Really? He never told me, and yeah... I got no messenge or anything. =O

    Well... this does create a problem with "cards for and cards against", I guess. But like I mentioned earlier, I'm pretty sure that it's a 8-2 win for me no matter what. Rantz... could you double-check to see if I'm correct? No matter where he would place his next card, I'm pretty sure I'll get a 8-2 win.

    "Any of his cards" in the corner, I respond with Eden directly above it, getting 9-1, then he takes the corner-card back for 8-2.

    Any card directly below Siren, and I will respond with Ultima Weapon beside Minotaur. 8-2, his last card can't take over or combo anything.

    Finally, any card beside Minotaur: I will place Eden below Siren again, taking over the middle card for 8-2. His last card can neither take anything nor combo.

    ^- Those are the 3 remaining spots where he can put anything.

    Edit:

    By my calculations above, it's IMPOSSIBLE for him to get anything but 8-2 right now, (thanks to the fact that there is no trick he can pull off at this point that I would actually fall for). I have taken all his moves into acount, and no matter what he does, I will win 8-2.

    The only thing he could hope to pull off to turn things around, is a card in the corner, hoping I will use Ultima Weapon beside Minotaur, thus allowing him to get a combo off with his final card. But like I said, I will not fall for that. I will place Eden above the corner card instead, thus eliminating all possibilities of a comeback! See? All moves, taken into consideration, and countered! My 8-2 win can't be prevented!


    If anyone, taking my responses above into consideration, can find an outcome different than 8-2, then just say how. Otherwise, I demand an 8-2 win!

    Hey all, looking through - kotora would've lost to a degree that would allow ultima shadow to keep his bracket victory from the looks of things. Tonight I will catch up on all the matches and get us closer to the next round. In the future we will have a NO FORFEITING rule to ensure the proper "winners" are determined.
