Heath won our match, and on that bombshell I'm going to bow out of the tournament. There's two things I've learned from this. One is that you can't rely on rooks to produce a decent defensive stroke, and two that I bloody hate playing chess. I hope y'all understand me, but the games are becoming a chore and I'm just not enjoying the whole thingy. Appologies once again, and a general good luck to all.
There is no signature here. Move along.
If Hawkeye doesn't respond, we'll have only 8 people in the second round, which makes me think I can just rearrange to a single elimination format, if no one minds.
edit: That was the first (and last) match you've played this tournament, Maxx.

no reply still. will keep you posted.
Maxx Power, masamune1600, ApocalypticLeon, and link/Cbc are counted as forfeits. There are 8 left, so I'm reorganizing this into a single elimination format. Current matches are nullified.
Seedings:
8 Heath
7 Maxico
6 Hawkeye
5 Rubah
4 radyk05
3 Cloud No.9
2 -N-
1 Raistlin
Elite Eight --- by August 12
Raistlin vs. Heath
radyk05 vs. Rubah
-N- vs. Maxico
Cloud No.9 vs Hawkeye
Forfeits count as a win.
Final Four
(Raistlin vs. Heath) vs. (radyk05 vs. Rubah)
-N- vs. (Cloud No.9 vs. Hawkeye)
Finals
Winners of semis play for 1st
Losers of semis play for 3rd
No deadline on the last matches - there shouldn't be forfeiting at this point.
Go.

me "okay so we are playing each other at chess.
i for one prefer playing on pogo chess but if you don't want to we can try and find somewhere different.
i live in britain and also work so we may need to scrape to find a time to play.
are we going to play by time? i prefer not to have a clock. and do you want to have a warm-up match before hand to get started?"
trey time "I usually use zone.com but pogo is fine as well.
I live in Arizona US GMT -7:00 Times after 5pm my time are good."
me "5 pm your time would be 12pm my time which could be a little awkward. but i do have a day off on wednesday so we could do it tuesday evening. i would prefer pogo if you wouldn't mind."
i have had not word back yet and it is 1 hour to 12pm tuesday. i know a time and date wasn't set or agreed so i don't expect a forfit but if the lack of response continues in this manner what to do?
*crys*
Seriously, school has started and I have LITTLE time, so forgive, and forget. Ah, well, fun while it lasted.
that could be trey/hawkeye's problem too. but that would seriously seriously make me very angry. i would be in the semi finals from playing one match (that i won) which i didn't even need to win.
Sorry, but I do want this thing over before the end of the month, and I hate it when things drag on. I'll play you any other time for fun, though.Originally Posted by ApocalypticLeon

I have heard nothing of Heath.
He was on IRC today around noon.
he was on msn too.
well hawkeye is only this very moment so i expect a response.
Sorry, I've been a bit busy. I've just added you to AIM, so I'll bug you as soon as you appear online to try and have a match done then. Sorry for leaving it so late.
Edit: FaithorFate be my new AIM.

Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
i hate to do this put hawkeye has been online a few times (made threads and posts) now and has not responded? what do i do?
It's 1:30 and I'm really not playing a game of Chess now, so I'm going to forfeit the match, and Raistlin can go through to the next round. He would've won anyway.
Besides, I think we all just want to see Raistlin vs. Cloud No.9 as the final, don't we?
