Ascension - GWJ vs Qt3

I lost both matches to soon another and hhpre. I won the first match with tomchick.

I thought it was 2 matches against the person below you. If not, oh well. I really like this game.

It's going to take a while for my match vs. Lantz I don't think our schedules are lining up well and I'll be without internet this weekend...

Both games are going! Sorry for the slowness due to Diablo 3!

My game vs. Nixxter and Mr Swee are in progress, but slow. Hopefully they'll be completed this weekend.

I am still available if GWJ needs a sub!

I won the second match with tomchick. By one point, it was a weird match with monsters dominating the center.

I lost to Nixxter, 71-69. He had a monster last turn to seal the deal.

Lost to HHPre 78-67 I think

Was unsuccessful in trying to counter their early Oziah with enlightened banishers and lifeborn glory grabbers. Led the game in accumulated glory, but forgot to or couldn't banish high value cards like socket altar

Aaaaaaaaaand lost to Mr Swee, 57-56. Sorry, Team Goodjer. I'm out.

That's two games lost to opponents with unbelievable final turns. Ouch.

Lost to Tom Chick. Very disappointed here. Score was something like 95 to 65, he got a construct army going that I just couldn't get out from under. Sorry guys:(

I just won my match against Jorune 82-68, so I I live to fight another day.

Edit: Looks like there's a bit of confusion over the result, I'll post a screenshot here later

Just a few games left:

Josemas v LeapingGnome
Josemas v cyrax
Mark Gray v shoptroll
dannimal v mrwynd

If we've learned anything from round 1 it's that we, as a community, are pretty bad at Ascension =)

I can't believe we haven't knocked out any Q3 people.

It's the jobs. They're getting in the way.

I think of Chris Gwinn as a Qt3 guy, and he's knocked out! (At least, one of him is. He isn't dead until he entirely is.)

Somebody has to take the Prolix bullet.

If this is a call for a volunteer for something, I'm still available.

Count me in as a sub or in the next tournament. Love me some Ascension (especially the new SoS).

Just two games remain:

Josemas v LeapingGnome
Mark Gray v shoptroll

As for substituting, stay tuned, Walt and Feday!

My friends can call me Fed, pardner.

I'm not really complaining, but he takes one turn every day or two. We are still only halfway through our first game.

Lost to Mr Swee 52-62. He managed to win by snagging a couple of high value constructs (Hedron Cannon and Serpentcall) while I was trying to use Eternal Askara's to kill monsters and deny him stuff. I misjudged how much mana he could generate in a turn and accidentally left the Cannon in the center for a turn

Good luck everyone else!

For the sake of everyone, I'm going to call this a draw. You have your alternate personality still in play, LeapingGnome, and I will let Fedaykin take the place of this personality (to spread the love!). If you think this is not fair, let me know.

Round 1 ends!

Oh dear, not a single QT3 competitor ousted!

We will avenge the fallen Goodjers this round!

I'll play anyone. I'm just happy to have gotten involved!

Two questions: Are losses carried over from the previous round, and is the format the base set + RotF?

Thanks!

Round 2 will begin shortly!

There are eight Gamers with Jobs remaining:

[G] Chris Gwinn (MNGwinn)
[G] Fedaykin (Fedaykin98)
[G] Justin Fletcher (Justin Fletcher)
[G] LeapingGnome (LeapingGnome)
[G] oilypenguin (oilypenguin)
[G] OzymandiasAV (OzymandiasAV)
[G] Torq (TorqGWJ)
[G] zelos (zelos79)

There are eighteen Quarter To Three folks left, and I have arranged them thusly:

[Q] Mark Gray (Mr Swee)
[Q] Dave Perkins (Ananab Tilps)
[Q] Ephraim (Ephraim)
[Q] nixon66 (nixon66)
[Q] ColonelT (TimothyS)
[Q] soondifferent (soonanother)
[Q] triggercut (triggercut1)
[Q] sinnick (SelfMadeSinnick)
[Q] Jorune (Jorune2112)
[Q] dannimal (mrdannimal)
[Q] wilykat (padingtun)
[Q] Nixxter (NixxteR)
[Q] Sten Friberg (Congestion)
[Q] Josemas (Josemas99)
[Q] prolix (unprolix)
[Q] fuzzyslug (fuzzyslug)
[Q] Tom Chick (tomwchick)
[Q] Lantz (HHPre)

Captain Chris Gwinn, with the help (if he so desires) of other GWJ players, should decide who to place at each spot between the Qt3 players (including at the top spot). Bear in mind, however, that anyone who loses both games at any one spot is ousted, no matter how he or she does in the rest of the spots.

This is when heroes are born, GWJ players! Who will take on this risk? It is Chris Gwinn's decision, ultimately, but I'm sure he would welcome volunteers for taking on the toughest duties.

Losses are not carried over (except in the crazy situation where no one loses 2 games in a particular round).

Format = base set + RotF

We few, we happy few...

Captain Gwinn, use me as you will.
