Turn 528

Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 10:03 am

If anyone saw turn 528, I think I went 4-1 in the contest, putting me at 27 points. Has anyone else confirmed this yet? There isn't a spy report by Assur included in the newsletter, so I don't know if that's correct or not.

I think you are right. It should now be over and you should be the winner. I know Manager lost to me, on his challenge, so he could not have gotten the 4 points he would need to match you (since he doesn't have any kills in the last 3 turns). So since just checking my fight against Manager is enough to make sure he didn't get enough points to tie or win, I'd like to throw a nice "Boo Yeah! That's what you get for challenging me, you lose the contest!" out there to Manager.

It was also nice to beat Doc Steele on his challenge as well. Too bad the contest is over at this point, since I think my team is finally ready to start winning! Wink

I'm just glad to say I did NOT finish at -23 this time around. I can at least say with pride I am now able to hold my own and am not just a "punching bag" in the likes of Talcama. Congrats to TMM, we've crossed blades many times in 14 and 24 (those ^%$&# godling tourney bastards of yours) and even straight up here you are still far my superior. What a run you've had 3 TCs in the FtF and now the BR4.... WELL DONE!

And well done to all I did enjoy it! ToGS anyone Laughing

Congrats to TMM, very nicely done.

I think the top 5 looked like this at the end.

Wasteland +27
Superior F +23
Of Wolf & +19
Hellborne +18
Clan Batt +18

Nice job, and I will definately be joining this contest again next time. This is the kind I like, no points for personal ads, or showing up in a newsletter. Just wins and loss's and kills. It was fun.

I think I had +24 (my other loss was to a non-BR guy). Rillion of course your puds decide to perform when I challenge them! Fortunately, TMM kicked so much ass that even if I had won, it wouldn't have mattered.

Congrats to TMM on the win! You definitely outmaneuvered me on the last turn. I was sure that you'd DA your newbie weak links that I didn't even bother to try and challenge them. I also left Honeycomb Filefish alone, as you and Big Wave Dave have been avoiding challenging each other during the contest. My mistake there, I should have been more aggressive.

In any case, way to kick ass! Thanks especially to Street Legal, Tripwire, TMM, DeGotti, and Azrael for paying attention (nearly) each and every turn.
Street, I appreciate that you weren't afraid to throw a challenge to TMM and try to save the contest again! DeGotti, hope Ge'Tar wins the Champs TC.

Haven't seen the fight yet but my guy had enough DEC and ATT that I felt I could beat him, might be a riposte situation. Besides if it wasn't going to be me, or my agreement to help Trip, I'd rather it be an Andorian. Wink

That left you or DG (both respectable and acceptable)!

I also had challenged Yajirobe with Meshuggah and Back Juice with Galloping one winnable the other 40/60 to TMM.

Oh and to clarify, I meant 60% in TMM's favor even including my best laid plans. If I made a tactical error it would have moved further his way. I'm not trying to overstate the matchup or my ability!

Back Juice TV challenged my Slasher which was a REALLY good move. Fear maxed out his decise during the tournament and I think it would have been a tossup on who jumped who if he had challenged him (thats what I was hoping for).

I am curious if anyone got DM 18 back in the mail yet? I have gotten arenas back that were due well after 18 but no 18 still.

I got mine on Saturday. One day later than 13, which runs the same day (usually they come in the same envelope).

I got mine back yesterday too.

After Rillion's guy pummels my warrior (Both are Adepts level) I read:

"Nyrond has achieved an Expert Rating in Defense".

AAAAGH!

Nyrond's defense rating doesn't matter if your warrior never gets a chance to attack! Twisted Evil
