Ha, whoops. Clerical error.


Fixed.

There are more important things than minis, there is no doubt of that.

You had to deal with a lot of those it sounds like, and that is fine.


I could not however, hold up the entire tournament even more than I already had.

As I clearly stated, I wanted games played. After you failed to make your first "iron clad" scheduled game, I gave you another chance. 1 week later and blowing off another scheduled game, there was zero communication from you during the entire second week. There were several frustrated messages from your opponent who was diligently staying in communication. He was clearly at wits end, not knowing what to do. I felt bad for him especially. He already had an opponent drop on him. In a tournament simply designed to play some minis (where winning and losing shouldn't be a big deal), poor Matt has only got 1 game in.

Btw, "I forgot" is really not an excuse. That being the case, you should be focusing on everything else going on other than minis.

The fact that you couldn't even take 1 minute to get online to say you're having a hard time scheduling, or you we're having extreme circumstances, or really anything at all during the entire extra week I gave you means it must have been dire circumstances you were in. That being the case - by all means you should have dealt with that. Sincerely. The last thing you should be worrying about is minis. Even now.


What would be unfair to everyone is to hold up the tournament more. To essentially punish everyone who did show up for their games. Earlier in the tournament we had no shows and people were dropped. I made great efforts to get games going. I didn't want the tournament to fall apart in round 1, so I gave 2nd chances. Even in the second to last round of the tournament when I shouldn't give second chances, I gave you one. I couldn't in good conscience give you a third.

When you are clearly in such intensely awful situations in real life, the rest of us need to accept that and move on. It would be unfair to the next opponent to have that possibility happen again. With the situation being as you explained, that likelihood seemed high.

But this is a casual tournament (it is the name of it after all). It's all about just getting some games in. No reason to be concerned about results.

In that spirit, I currently have a bye. I'll be glad to schedule a game between us. I know I'd like to play another game.

Let me know when you're free to play.

Nice. Sounds like a fun melee.

Proper to Trevor for the win. Props to TJ for scoring 142pts in that matchup!

Hi guys, just had an amazingly fun and nail biting match with Hone. I ended up taking it out 200-141, after Durge and Boba cleaned out a bunch of jedis with their twin (from Whorm ) , and Dray decided enough was enough... went toe to toe with Boba at the end of the round, and we both knew whoever got the next initiative would probably take out the game... Luckily for me the chance cube wasn't loaded, but still fell for me :)

Will fill out some more details tomorrow.. but for now: Rattlehead 3 (200) - Hone 1 (141).

Was such a fun game. Cheers Hone.
laters,
Rich

It was truly epic .. it had everything...
1) An ugnaught rolled a crit to kill a mouse droid that had just based chewie. (crazy)
2) Whorm's twin was brutal - Durge inflicted 150hp one round, lucky for Jaina chewie soaked up 90hp of it
3) 20hp Boba was based by 10hp Dray - which was a do or die move, as if Boba won initiative it would have been 3 points to Hone!

truly fun game.
I think Hone has a pic of the board just before that final round, which may make it up here.. it was awesome.. and Dray needed to change his pants afterwards, standing that close to boba was rather scary

Oh man this game was so good! Went from the Bounty Hunters facing down Jaina and her friends with near certain defeat in sight, to Durge and Jango giving gifts their lives to take down the Jedi, and then Boba left standing defiant against the lonely Dray. Fantastic game, nail baiting rolls and a fair bit of excited yelling. Having a game come down to 20 HP Boba and 10 HP Dray was so intense! Good game Rich

Would post a photo but doesn't seem to be working

Death's Baine scored 230 to my 122. 3pt win for him 1pt loss for me. I killed Sky and Morrigan and some fodder got 2 rounds gambit, he killed all my shite and 3 rounds gambit.

Alright everyone,

we still have 1 match to go (Shawn vs Mike) , and a challenge match (me vs Jen'ari) - but those won't effect the top 4.

Those are set in stone, so let's get them started!


We have an epic rematch, and a first ever matchup.

#1 12pts (4-0) Trevor Cook (Deaths_Baine)
vs
#4 9pts (3-1) Matt S (spryguy1981)

and

#2 9pts (3-1) Trevor Christensen (Mando/obikenobi1)
vs
#3 9pts (3-1) Rich A (DarthRattlehead)

Trevor and Matt are set to play tomorrow.

So hopefully everyone is done by tomorrow night.
