Ascension - GWJ vs Qt3

FAQ

Q: Who gets to play?
A: Anyone who wants to!

Q: But don't there need to be equal numbers on each team?
A: Nah! The team with fewer players will have to figure out who will play multiple games.

Q: How will matchups be made?
A: The team with more players will be put in a list, and the team with fewer players will decide how to delegate their players into the list so that the list alternates between teams like so: QGQGQGQG.

Q: That's a lot of deciding! Shouldn't each team have a captain or something?
A: How very gym class of you! But yes, that would be wise.

Q: Then how do the games proceed?
A: Each player plays the person above and below him or her in the list. Anyone who loses two or more games -- and this does include people who appear more than once in the list -- is out for the next round. We continue until only one team remains!

Q: Where's the Qt3 thread about this?
A: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-t...

I'm Dave Perkins there.

Groovy! We'll start now!

Pleased be playing as a Goodjer!

Parentheticals are Game Center names, right?

Yup!

The Quarter To Three vs. Gamers With Jobs tournament has begun!

Names in parentheses are Game Center names for befriending purposes.

If a number follows a player's name, it means that he or she is playing as a multiple personality, each of which will be treated as an individual throughout the tournament.

Each player should challenge the person next in line below. Josemas challenges cyrax.

Please post here when you've made your challenges so that I can track down non-nerds.

Please don't use the Storm of Souls expansion yet, as not everyone owns it.

Everyone will be playing two games this round (multiple personalities play four). Anyone who loses both games gets the boot!

Whether you win or lose, please post your result.

Good luck, Gamers with Jobs!

I have challenged prolix, which judging by the Qt3 May tourney list is likely to go badly!

And I lost to TimothyS, 82-86. He Avatar'ed into Adayu in round 6 though, so I feel I put up a decent fight! If I get crunched by prolix, at least I'll have plenty of time for Diablo, heh.

And as expected, lost to Prolix in a closely fought 53-117 game. Good luck everyone, looks like I'll be taking my frustration out on Diablo!

Challenge to triggercut1.

Noooo, defeat for me.

Lost a close game to padingtun 70 - 75. I had a 17 point lead going into final count, but the constructs in his deck brought him victory.

Challenges sent. Now I just need to remember which games are for which tournament.

I was embarassingly stomped by unprolix. I came up one short for the Avatar the turn after he grabbed Adayu, and that was the last shot I had at coming even remotely close to winning that one. And he's ahead of my in the May qt3 league.

Good job, Ozymandias!

Please post your challenges and your results to the thread!

Will be sending out my invites later tonight. I see no SoS, so what's the configuration we're supposed to use? Also, we play two games and report back, is that correct?

Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

You can use Godslayer, Fallen, or both. Challenger's prerogative! And, yep, two games, report back, then you're through for the round.

*sigh*

Ephraim over Chumpy, 75-60.

The telling stat: my final acolyte/militia count - 8/2. Nary a deck trimmer to be found. Ouch.

I have sent the Gamecenter invites out.

Ananab Tilps's a big whiner whose brain is hurt by SoS.

Does it make sense to try to annotate the list with people who are up for SoS games and then let that drive the decks used in the challenge?

It does make sense to annotate the list with SoS players, but maybe we can wait till round two, when more people will own it, be comfortable with it, and.. there will be less people to ask?

*sigh again*

Sinnick over Chumpy, 67-61. Again, no deck thinners; final acolyte/militia count was 8/1.

Get deck thinners, people!

I lost one game to HHPre so far. I sent out GC friend requests to the two I am supposed to challenge this afternoon.

Justin Fletcher over triggercut1, 88-56. (Henge Queen + Twofold Askara) x Yggdrasil Staff = a way to end the game fast before he gets anymore friggin' Mechana.

I got schooled all right. Good game!

Wow. So two of the games that I played today at work were actually against people from the list. I am pretty sure I lost both of them.

(Checks Qt3 forums:
SelfMadeSinnick defeats Mudbunny74 77 to 63

nixon66 over mudbunny74

One loss each so far to mudbunny 74 1 and 2

Lifting Triggercut's post from qt3 about our crazy game:

triggercut1 over MNGwinn 109-108

Epic game. I had an early lead on some lucky mecha draws. Then his mecha/points-build hand came into play and he began coming back. When he laid out a #*#*(@ Sordid Asp on me (I had it coming--did the same to him earlier) I really thought he had it...

...and then good ol' Samael came up. And then I drew my Adayu. Haha! I couldn't lose! Samael cleared the pool of Honor, and I was ahead there and figured we were relatively even in our hands for the end-of-game count.

And then he pulled a fine draw of his own for the last turn of the game.. He pulled the construct that gives you an extra turn on banishment. He killed monsters. He bought heroes. He took another turn. Killed more monsters and bought another goody or two in the middle...and turned up a Stone Circle, which he bought.

Stone Circle. Meant I got to add a Mystic to my deck, even though the game was done and I wouldn't have any more plays. 1 point card.

Chris had 7 constructs in play at the end (8 if you count the Tablet that he immediately used on the last turn). I had 6. Craziest awesome game I've been involved in.

Margin of victory. Crazy game. Chris Gwinn, pick your time to tear me apart. Loved that game, I'll take any matches you'll give me. Learned a lot just by watching.

EDIT: Victory should be over "Chris Gwinn-2" in the code chart.

Padingtun beats oilypenguin by 3. I suspect foul play.

GC invite sent to Lantz, hopefully they'll accept it tomorrow...

I lost to soonanother 98-69. I was doing alright until he got Adayu, used a draw card to pt it in his hand instantly, then picked up Samael and Muramasa with it over two turns.

Partway through my game with Nixxter, invite sent to Mr Swee.
