Final standings:

Darth Rattlehead should be 1-3 4pts.

Semifinals: Trevor vs Tim

Tim won the map roll (with a 6!) so we played on Rhen Var; I set up on the right side.

Round 1: Entirely positioning.

Round 2: Ezra moved up to use Surprise Attack to shoot a Saboteur that had wandered into the main room, but he missed an attack so that Sab lived with 10. Tim found a sweet LOS where he could see only 3P0, but then his Saboteur's blaster malfunctioned on the attack, which cloaked my entire squad and prevented further aggressive actions against 3P0. Tim moved a Saboteur up to attempt an attack against Ahsoka, but he was Distracted by 3P0 so it didn't matter.

Round 3: This round was insane! Tim won this initiative and his blaster worked properly this time (Editorial: I think he simply remembered to turn off the Safety button!), so 3P0 was in pieces on the floor. Leia finished the 10hp Sab beside her (who blew up in her face and Ahsoka's too), but then Ezra moved to base Maul, with Traps and Synergy and all that good stuff, doing 60dmg to Maul (not melee, so no Teras Kasi shenanigans)...but the important thing here is that, while Maul made the first Jolt save with a fprr, he failed the second one. Tim and I later agreed that this was a gigantic turning point in the game. Tim moved some guys up to get in my face (Leia was adjacent to 2 Mercs at this point). Sabine went up and blew up those 2 Mercs with a Gernade, which also blew up Leia, who was out of Force Points, so no Mary Poppins shenanigans for her in THIS movie! But the big thing was that Ahsoka acrobatized herself past Maul, to Assault the Saboteur beside him, and then rolled away just before the bomb went off, which ended up damaging Maul (now 30hp) but not Ahsoka. Then she continued her assault (plus the Cleave) on Maul (who riposted her for 40dmg), but only hit twice, which left Maul at 10hp. Tim joined the fray with some attacks on Ahsoka via Kelborn and Pre, so she was down to 40 health pretty quickly. I responded by piling yet more people into the mix, but not before locking the door with R2. After the door was firmly shut, Kanan moved up to attempt 80dmg on Pre, but he rolled a 1. However, the dice repaid me a moment later when Venku came up and double-missed his attacks on Kanan. Hera came up and put 40dmg on Kelborn, then an Uggie tried to be a hero vs Maul, but who was he kidding? His time had not yet come. Ahsoka died this round too, thanks to Venku. Really: thanks Venku! (not!)

Round 4: We both agreed that this initiative was critical: Tim rolled a 9...and I rolled a 1. lol! Love them vassal dice! Resolnare put Pre and Venku out of harm's way. Maul then erased Ezra with style (ie, a Crit!). My Ugnaught once again had delusions of grandeur, only this time they were correct! He hit Kelborn for 10 dmg and then moved away (of course dying to 3 separate AoOs, lol!), which opened up LOS for Sabine to throw another Gernade, this time on both Maul (10hp) and Kelborn (now 40hp, thanks to the Uggie's grandeur), and it did its job; Kanan was also caught in the blast, but the force protected him (that, and the survival instincts he had learned from Hera). At this point Tim came flying in to attack Kanan with Pre, hitting the first attack...and then getting CounterPushed away from Kanan and right into Sabine's mine field. Furthermore, since he was no longer adjacent, the dreaded Dark Saber was no longer a threat. This left Pre at 10hp beside Hera, so Venku flew in to attack Sabine, needing a crit...but didn't get one. Sabine lived with 10hp. Pre died. The round ended with Kanan at 70hp, Sabine at 10, Hera at 90, and Venku at 30...plus some irrelevant droids. However, Venku got his end-of-round CE attack (the only time this game!), which put 70dmg on Kanan!...oh wait, no, that was actually only 50, because Venku was no longer feeling very Protective of anyone. So Kanan lived with 20hp. He also counter-pushed Venku (down to 10hp), but couldn't push him through the wall so Venku still got the Lightsaber bonus on his Twin Attack.

This was the end of time. After gambit the score was 177-117 for me. Even if Kanan had died, I still would've been up on points. With Venku at 10hp and me still having 3 attackers on the go, I think victory was pretty certain for me anyway.


T'was a very close game! One of the closest that either of us had seen (or played) in a very long time! Those Death Watch guys are vicious, but at least this time, the Ghost Crew had just enough tricks to outlast them. Thanks for the game, Tim!

On to the finals for me.

Once again, it looks like people are afraid to face me in the Finals! Bwaahaaahaaaa! Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.

Seriously, though, I'm curious if Spry and Frenchy will be able to play before the deadline tonight.

P.S. tried to use McDonald's and the Library former kept kicking me off, latter wouldn't let me boot up vassal.

What? This is outrageous! You actually want people to play games in this tournament!?! It's almost as if you think you have the explicit right to make these sort of judgment calls. Who do you think you are? The TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER or something?

Only a TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER has those explicit rights. They are literally the judge.

I am going to message the TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER right away. They will make their judgement call on this situation, and we'll just have to live with it - because that is literally their job. Even if that judgment is outside the truncated basic rules that they laid out at the start the tournament, it is still their right to make any judgment call they see fit.

You just wait CAEDUS. The TOURNAMENT ORGANIZER will decide what is best for this tournament.

Can someone run down the tiebreaker details? I did them earlier when I thought it might matter (before Tim won in his last round), and I'm pretty sure Jason had me beat. But hopefully Spry can play and it won't matter anyway.

you cannot make a judgement call unless it is in a gray area. That is what a judgement call is for.

There was no space left for a gray area.


Therefore, there is no room for a judgement call to be made. The call was made when the rules were set.

This is easy to understand.

ADDITION: looked up judgement call on merriam. this is the sentence that uses judgement call

"The rules aren't clear in this case, so officials are required to make a judgment call."

Which is awesome.

It is just curious that the example sentence that the dictionary people used happened to call out not knowing a rule and needing a judgement call...

hahaha. try your little rhetoric all you want. It is clear that judgement calls happen when there is no set rule and an opinionated decision needs to be made.

This only happens when there is no law/rule in place.

In these situations there are clear rules already in place.

you are willfully trying to work around definitions and meaning. Which is what a child does.

My 8th grade students try to pick apart one aspect of a statement and act like it is something grand.

Which is what you just did.

You tried to act like you did something to prove my stance is wrong by nitpicking.

You didn't a judgement call is based off an opinion because there is no known solution.


So if there is a known solution there would not be a judgement call needed.

Okaaaayyy…back on track again here....
That sounds good to me, Caedus. I'm glad you're the TO. And I'm also glad that there is life outside of SWM. Very, very glad.

Yep let's just let the last few guys finish their game the rest of us are out anyways haha
