Ascension - GWJ vs Qt3

I beat triggercut1, 89 - 75.

Leap, you may just want to challenge triggercut1 yourself. He's been online plenty today; we played most of our game live.

soonanother beat me by one point, 78 - 77.

Nixxter beat me, dropping Sammael on his last turn and draining the last 8 honor in the pool. If he had come up one short... Oh well.

That knocks me out.

I won over unprolix.

Triggercut destroyed me. I scored a respectable 73 but he had the highest score I think I've seen in a match - 130.

Sorry LG, you played well and I honestly thought the score was going to be much closer until I realized how many constructs I had going.

Thanks for the game.

Great game you played! I thought I was keeping it closer than that, alas.

Thanks for the game.

Argh. Still a problem, as Jorune appears to be isolated in the middle of the list. Can anyone figure this out? It must have to do with the fact that oilypenguin appears on both sides of him.

Only a few games left:

Torq vs ColonelT
Torq vs dannimal
Sten vs Ozy
fuzzy vs LeapingGnome
fuzzy vs Ozy
Tom vs Fedaykin

Jorune and I played our 2 matches and I won both so I think I eliminated him.

We can debate whether it was fair to him to make him play the same person twice for his entire round, though.

Yeah I realized about halfway through that you had way too many mechana constructs for me to catchup. In the base game they are a bit overpowered if you get lucky and get a few early that work well with each other.

Should chrisgwinn be out if he won a game?

Tom just accepted the game tonight; I assume he was away from Ascension for the holiday weekend.

Torq 115 v 48 TimothyS

An early Adayu turned into a runaway victory here.

My game with dannimal is fairly close to finishing too. Late start and time zones causing the slowdown here I think.

I'm on the list three times due to us having far fewer people after round 1. In one of those three, I lost twice. So I'm out.

Thank you for clarifying. And it's fine that Jorune got sandwiched like that -- except for the fact that I am sad to lose him!

Only four games left:

Tom vs Fedaykin

Torq 122 v 67 MrDannimal.

I survive until next round.

Cross-posting from Qt3:

OzymandiasAV wins over Congestion/Sten, 89-68. Kind of an ugly game with a lot of over-costed cards on the board early and, thus, a lot of downtime while we both tried to spike The Perfect Draw to break it up; I just lucked out by getting there first.

I won over fuzzyslug, 68-52 if I remember right.

Only one game to go: Tom Chick vs Fedaykin. Go, Tom!!

And ouch did you guys ever nail us after being beaten down in Round 1. I almost changed the rules of the tournament after Round 1 because I pitied you. Seriously! And my wife talked me out of it. She said people wouldn't like the rules changed, so I said, Good point.. it'll be "over soon anyhow".

Ha!!

Tom takes turns but seldom.

And yeah, amazing turnaround this round! I hope I can continue the trend, because my game against Tom is an elimination game for me.

Rules clarification question: Is round 3 also going to be base + RotF? I ask primarily because of the earlier confusion.

I think fuzzy already reported into the thread at Qt3 but, at any rate, he won by a margin of 92-64. That, plus the tie-game loss to Josemas means I'm ousted from the tournament, no matter what. (EDIT: Dave Perkins from Qt3 has graciously informed me that I'm still around and that I've misread the rules. Yay, reading comprehension!)

I'm still waiting on Congestion/Sten to respond to my game request. He originally sent one with SoS/RotF/Promo, but I rejected it, since I don't own the promo cards and I thought we were playing CotG/RotF for the tourney anyway.

You'll find out if you make it.

Good work, team!

I beat Tom 79 - 77 in a game that was close the whole way! We played about half of it live just now, and I had a bunch of aggravating disconnects towards the end. Hopefully, Tom was not frustrated.

This is who remains:

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

[Q] soondifferent (soonanother)
[Q] triggercut (triggercut1)
[Q] wilykat (padingtun)
[Q] Nixxter (NixxteR)
[Q] Josemas (Josemas99)
[Q] fuzzyslug (fuzzyslug)
[Q] Lantz (HHPre)

Nine from GWJ and eight from Qt3! Qt3 holds the advantage still, so I will arrange our players and hand the list over to Chris Gwinn. One GWJ player will have to play in two spots. Who will volunteer for heroic duty?

And I think we shall avoid Storm of Souls for the duration of this tournament, and include SoS when we proceed to the follow-up tournament, which I assume there will be interest in!

I can do double duty, but I'm not that strong in base + RotF. Does oily have the best results? Granted, he has a lot going on at home.

And you may have meant 9 Qt3ers to 8 GWJers, no?

Torq is listed twice for GWJ, did you mean someone else or do we have 7 instead of 8?

Torq's in that list twice, so we're actually down to 7 GWJers.

Assuming I counted correctly, here are the GWJer records through the first two rounds:

oilypenguin: 6-2 (1-1, 5-1)
Justin Fletcher: 4-2 (1-1, 3-1)
Torq: 4-2 (1-1, 3-1)
OzymandiasAV: 4-2 (2-0, 2-2)
zelos: 3-1 (1-1, 2-0)
LeapingGnome: 3-2 (1-2, 2-0)
Fedaykin: 2-2 (n/a, 2-2)

I'd be willing to take on double-duty for the next round.
