[Citizen Bleys]

Can we get some instructions for people who don't hang around the forum that often? I don't know where/how you guys are playing, or anything. You shouldn't assume everyone who wants to play is a regular =\

Well done, Shads. I will officially call the result soon, though I'm hanging on for the 3rd place playoff if I can.

[Ultima Shadow]

You're really earning that Ace title.

Yes, EoFF voted right when we went for Ultima Shadow as TT Ace.

Keep it coming, guys. I have room for plenty more! /smug

[Jiro]

I voted for Ultima Shadow as the Ace because I knew it to be true.

[Psychotic]

Any news on Raistlin v AK? Anniversary is tomorrow so I'll wrap things up then!

[Raistlin]

AK sent me an invite that had "All" as the victory rule, and I declined it because I don't want to bother having to get more level 1/2 cards. I sent him a new invite.

[Jiro]

Pussy

[Quindiana Jones]

You have almost 4000 Gil. What's the bother? xD

[Raistlin]

It would require more effort on my part than to simply resend the invite. Laziness is not only a way of life, it's a principle.

[Aerith's Knight]

Sad.

...Just sad.

[Ultima Shadow]

Interesting match. But if I were to place a bet at this point, I'd have to say Raistlin.

...that's only me going by what cards I'm guessing that both player have left in their hands though, so I could be totally wrong. A draw is pretty likely too.

[Raistlin]

Well it was going to be a tie, and then my browser froze up and I ended up accidentally clicking the wrong spot. Thankfully that didn't impact anything, and we went into Sudden Death... where I didn't see any Elemental signs. But there actually were elemental signs, I just couldn't see them until I refreshed, so my first two moves made no sense at all and I was down big and couldn't recover.

How anticlimactic. xD Oh well, it was amazing I got this far anyway.

With you added, EVERYONE that has betted on my matches has lost.

Alright, this was all I needed to do. I be done.

I'll visit again sometime next year or so.

I lost the same way in the match against Rantz. That's why I took the precaution of reloading.

[Ultima Shadow]

Well, the first round did become a draw. And I was only predicting the result for the first round. So I say I was... almost half-right!

AWARDS
Most epic match of the tournament:
Psychotic v Faris. This one went the distance!

Most exciting match of the tournament:
Jiro v Jowy A quick and brutal back-and-forth contest.

Best Match
Aerith's Knight v Rantz It's a shame that the elemental rule blagged Dennis.

Worst Match:
Quin v Loony BoB I hate BoB and Quin's defensive style.

Move of the Tournament:
Rantz's incredible combo on Jiro sees him go from 4-6 down to 7-3 up!

Best Comeback
Ultima Shadow pulling it off against Rantz. You're 3-7 down in the final with just two cards left to play... you panic, right? Not if your name is Ultima Shadow!

The D'oh! Award
Faris could've used the Plus rule to draw in her match with Raistlin.

The "Was that really so difficult?" Award
Goldenboko v Red Mage Coffman

(This was their second attempt... Goldenboko won a similar award in Firaga)

The Tidus "Do you even exist?" Award
Red Mage Coffman. No record of any game of his exists. WHAT IS GOING ON.

The Brute Force Award
Check out my match with Shauna. It was woeful xD No special captures were used and it was just a card being captured every round!

The "Screw you guys, I'm going home" Award
Aerith's Knight. Incidentally, everybody bet on Vivi22 or Raistlin to win this award.

Best Country
Sweden

I'll give out the gil prizes soon. Done. You can claim your cards in the normal way!

And that's your lot. I hope you enjoyed the tournament as much as I did hosting it.
