Everything is now final.

[skev21]

Huh, wtf, why did you just change the brackets at least twice?

[Override]

Huh, wtf, why did you just change the brackets at least twice?

I paired up the inactive people with each other so that the active people won't have to worry about inactivity. Or at least that's what I hope.

[skev21]

Not very random brackets then :p

MTAO, rev?

[Xiahou Dun]

Xiahou Dun vs. Anarchy United

*SEPPUKU*

[Enjoi]

Im confused :huh:

[Pxndx]

Seppuku (切腹, Seppuku? "stomach-cutting") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Jigai simply means suicide; there is no female equivalent for Seppuku.
According to Wikipedia.

[Xiahou Dun]

Hey. We have to play for Simon Underwood's grey tourney.

:huh:Am I the only one that noticed this.

Im confused :huh:

Seppuku is a form of rituaal suicide used by Samurai one of the reasons they do it is to die with honour rather then fall into the hands of their enemy. This is the context I was describing it in and I was expressing my feelings of hopelessness at having been matched up with AU who I not only consider far better then me in all 3 styles but also he is probably an even greater challenge considering the context of the tournament. In a Tournament that will end up forcing you to use a strange set with a weird unit combination people don't usually see the guy is in his bloody element.

[Enjoi]

Oh I see, I knew of this ritual but was not familiar with the name of this practice.

[Override]

Xiahou, HATEing me won't give you an easier opponent. I had the Java random number generator pick out values for me.

Of course, you could always just beat him. :wink2: This is more of a mind game than a TAO game anyways.

Psst, look at my example game in the original thread.

[Xiahou Dun]

I had the Java random number generator pick out values for me.

Hah!. I see through your lies. You just wanted to get me back for some kind of unexplained grudge you have on me. Oh yes I'm onto you Mister!

ಠ_ಠ

Of course, you could always just beat him. :wink2:

Oh yes and then I'll hop onto a magical flying pirate ship with Xena Warrior Princess and a small yappy dog and we'll go an a mystical adventure to the gumdrop kingdom and... Err I kinda forgot where I was going with that. But anyway the point is I was being sarcastic and I am NOT going to beat AU.

Oh I have my plan alright. It involves praying to every Deity who'll listen that AU turns out to be inactive.

This is more of a mind game than a TAO game anyways.

Oh I am well aware of certain intricacies in it, but I'm also sure AU will be smart enough to know the same and it'll come down to skill, where I will lose.

Psst, look at my example game in the original thread.

What about it?

[Enjoi]

But anyway the point is I was being sarcastic and I am NOT going to beat AU.


Sounds like you shouldnt even try if that's your attitude ;)

[Xiahou Dun]

Sounds like you shouldnt even try if that's your attitude ;)

Pah. You "Confidence is key! ^___^" hippies with your motivational slogans and sickening positive atttudes. I am realistic. However I will try only to save face. Who knows I might get enough luck to save me. Like a Frost blocking or something. : D

Anyway PM is needed I guess.

[Magician]

Magician vs The Bored King

Game one:

Mag's Units: Scout, 2knights, berz, pyro, chanty, LW, Witch, GA, Assassin
tbk's Units: 3knights, 2scouts, dragon, mud, frost, cleric

tbk wins the first match. Duh. :p

I have to use Berz, Assassin, Chanty

He has to use 2scouts and Mud.

Mag wins the 2nd match after a bit of controversy on both sides. :)

Good games, tbk. :)

[the bored king]

Ok mag has to use chanty berz and assassin and me mud scout and scout

[Hatchet Warrior]

[The AIDS Virus]

HW is gonna screw over Einherjar huh?

[abhimanu]

I have yet to hear from Quinn.

[Hatchet Warrior]

HW is gonna screw over Einherjar huh?

I would have if they did something that screwed me over. Which didn't happen, it's the past.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

I feel like I'm missing something, but may I ask when this round ends?

[I'malive24/7]

oh boy, I get Mag this round -_-

[~SuMpFiN~]

Me and Snowolf played our first game, he won that game.
My units: 2 Knights, Cleric, Mud, 1 Scout, BR, GA, Stone, BW and LW
He chose me to keep: BW, LW and Stone
His Units: 2 knights, Cleric, Mud, DSM, DT, 2 scouts, Frost,
He decided to keep: DT and 1 knight, (so he can still use 2 next round)

I Think he chose the wrong units for himself, I think I should be able to win the next game.

[Sacred Silence]

Sacred Silence vs The Butcher

Sacred Silence wins game 1.

Sacred Silence wins game 2.

s/s on request, gg Butch

[skev21]

I won both games, ggs MTAO

[Sacred Silence]

Update the winners...

[Maverik07]

I won the first game vs lieu, somewhat surprisingly, seeing as i used a set that was meant to lose, but w/e. Afterwards he says he didnt want to play again and that i could simply take the win.

Heres the s/s:http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q24/Maverik07/Mindgamestourneyvslieu.jpg

[Wisher]

Still nothing from rabbi.

[Snowolf]

I am still waiting for mine and ~sumpfin~'s second game... I won the first but he will probably win the second one. -.-

[~SuMpFiN~]

[Snowolf]

Sumpfin won game 2. gg sump

*Scurries off to Legends to lick wounds*

[Anarchy_United]

AU beats Xiahou in game dos. It was an odd game.

[abhimanu]

[Pxndx]

Some one else should run this tourney, any takers?

[Xiahou Dun]

Some one else should run this tourney, any takers?

Aye Override went inactive and ditched his tourney on Legends too.

Seeing as

1 I'm out already.

and

2 It was me who discussed this tourney with Override through PM's and helped finalise half the rules before he started it.

I could take over if nobody minds. You'd just be trading one stupid Legends Scumbag organiser for another. : D

[Pxndx]

Sounds good, Post a deadline or something. :p

Your name is not in bold, because you have not sent a good pm. You need to include specific times.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

I'm too frustrated with my opponent who really doesn't seem to be making an effort to get our games in. I resign to his inactivity, only on the basis it's not a TAL-approved tournament...
