BuGaTrTuTo Round 2!

[Hoolwath]

http://img93.imageshack.us/img93/5691/talbadge24tr.png

Rules: It is a restricted turtle tourney. All participants will have to use a turtle similar to one of those a Bushido Gaiden Horseman was using. Monkus turtle. You have to use a stone golem, a cleric, a frost golem, a furgon and a LW. Stone golem must be placed in the back row or the corner of the second row with atleast 4 units in his stoning distance without initial movement.

This is what a basic Monkus Turtle looks like:

Another example:

The tourney is held in Mithrandir's "strict" atmosphere. So a good PM is to be posted in the competent thread and deadlines are to be respected.

[Magician]

Hey Spenster, we're matched up to play in Hool's tourny.

I'm available at the following times, GMT+1:

Wednesday: 11pm-2am
Thursday: 7pm-1am
Friday: All Day
Saturday: 11am-4pm
Sunday-Monday: Unavailable

I've also got next week off work, but I intend to spend most of my time with the woman. Let me know when you're available and I'm sure we can work soemthing out. :)

~Mag

[Jonspen]

I got someone in my timezone. Plus an easy win :p

I'd say let's play now, but I got work to do for my exam tomorrow and this games gonna take a while.

We arranged to play on Friday.

[~SUPERNATURAL~]

Stiv? No problem, jokes lol. We shouldn't have a problem getting our game.

[The AIDS Virus]

...I fully expect to lose this round.

[Xiahou Dun]

Times eh? Well I can* be on weekdays from 7-10PM** (All Times GMT) and most of the day on weekends generally from Midday right through the night until silly o' clock in the morning.

* Notice I said "Can"? I mean just that. I "Can" not I "Will"...I'm not gonna be sat online all through these times, if we prearrange to be there in these time slots I'll be there but don't just log on randomly at some point during those times with no warning beforehand and expect me to be sat on waiting for you, sometimes in my spare time I like to do something other then TAO all the time, like go outside, or wash the gimp.

**7-10PM "-" Meaning "To" that means I leave at 10, of course if I'm ingame I can run over for a bit but I am NOT going to be able to start a game at 10 so I'd ask we arrange a game for like 9:30 at the latest.

PM to abhimanu...One day I'll get an easy round 1 match...-.-

[The Butcher]

We traded mud for mud, re armored, and then went 30 minutes without another unit dying..

I made two small mistakes, and when you play a player as skilled as DFP, thats two too many. Pleasure playing you DFP, good luck.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Priest and myself have agreed to play a bit after 6(PM) PST tomorrow.

[Detonation]

Ok here is my reply to DMD:

I can play at the following times PST (GMT - 7)

Monday: 8:00 PM- 3:00 AM
Tuesday-Thursday: 6:00 PM- 3:00 AM (not this thursday)
Friday: 10:00 PM- 4:00 AM

I can't scheduled any games for the weekends since I came on randomly, but if you catch me online and I were have the time to play then I'd definally play you. I guess we can't play friday since my 10:00 pm is 12:00 AM for you, so I guess we would have to scheduled a game for monday or tuesday. I think monday at 8:00 PM PST or tuesday from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM is the best for you, so let me know and confirm the time we can play.

[xEaglex]

Replied to bobo

Saturday before 5pm EST would be best for me.

Is 1pm Saturday good?

[Isaac-Z]

Legend Z vs The AIDS Virus
Winner: Legend Z
s/s if needed.
Good Game.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Priest won. I made a mistake that cost me the game.
Very good game though

[~Priest~]

Priest vs Hatchet Warrior
Winner: Priest
s/s on request

I made a mistake early off and underestimated HW's wisp abilities, which cost me way to many turns. After the wisp died I felt HW pretty much had it and was ready to surrender, but figured I would keep going in hopes of a draw. We'll, he ended up making a severe mistake and let me frost his last scout. Really good game man.

My pm to ~KC~

Hey we got paired up for the turtle tourney. When's best to play for you?

For me, Friday or Saturday at roughly the time I sent you this pm would be good for me (8:30 (GMT-7:00)) , but I'm flexible if you got any solid times you can be on.

[The AIDS Virus]

Legend Z vs The AIDS Virus
Winner: Legend Z

Good Game.

Not really a good game... I'm only in this for BG. I suck at all things gold.

[Jonspen]

Me and Mag arranged to play in about an hour, so provided all goes well we should be done by the end of the day -_-"

[~SUPERNATURAL~]

Boreal, I'm on rev now.

[elimination]

Sorry, kind of forgot to post my pm to sniper master, I haven't gotten a reply though.

Hey, we gotta play in round 2 of hool's turtle tourny, I can't play much today, I'll be gettin off in 16 minutes because I have 2 projects due tomorrow I have to finish to save me, lawl.
So, I am free to play pretty much any time on friday from like 8am- any time in central time zone.

[Veilmenacex]

Hey! We're matched up for Hoolwath's Bushido Gaiden Tournament, my times are:

Mon to Thurs 9-10pm

Fri 5-6pm,
9-11pm

Sat and Sun 5pm-6pm, 9-11pm

all times are EST

[Xiahou Dun]

Abhimanu and I agreed to play today half an our ago. He wasn't here then but I can wait for quite a while so I should catch him on sometime soon. I WILL be gone an hour form the time of this post for 30 minutes for definate though. Probably be able to get back on after. So if you come on then and see this just wait 30 minutes or so.

[Jonspen]

Been here all day and Mag didn't come on msn or the forums, and sadly I've had difficulties with my phone so I couldn't text him. I'm going to replace it so I'll give him the new number next time he comes on msn.

I'm still positive me and Mag will be able to sort something out though. We've been matched up for PSST and Gram Slam before and it usually works out.

[Xiahou Dun]

Eh I noticed abhimanu came on and posted a bit at 10:00 but I didn't hear from him. :/ Anyway we agreed to 9.00 and I've been here from 9,00-10,30 then came back on at 11,00 to check if he contacted me. no joy so I'm off for now and probably the rest of the tonight. We'll have to try and arrange another time.

[Stiven]

Round 2, Supernatural vs Stiven

Winner: Stiv.

S/S upon request.

Edit: Comments, well he have a dragonless set strong, was opp side againt my set with dragon, and he start to attack me, so i just made a strategy defensive for evite lost my cleric, at the end i just kill his wisp, knight, mud and 1 scout and he had 1 scout as unit of attack.

Good game.

[~SUPERNATURAL~]

Yup, I lost gg.

[Jonspen]

Still no word from Mag.

Just keeping you all updated.

[Master TAO]

still no word from digix ...

anyone seen him
?

[Magician]

PM to Spen:

Hey, apologies for missing our Friday time. Got bogged down, then the woman came over. Way busier day than I expected.

If you're available, Tuesday and Wednesday are likely to be the best days to play our match, if that's at all possible. If you're available either of those days, specify a time and I'll do what I can to be there. :)

Hope to hear from you soon, and apologies again for screwing up.

~Mag

[Pxndx]

AU vs Pxndx
Winner: AU

comments: It was a hell of a game, I enjoyed it from start to finish, gg AU.

[Anarchy_United]

AU vs. pxndx
Very very good game.
I started basicly, I traded a bunch of my units for his cleric, furgon, and lots of spread damage. Then, slow painful furgon-rific process as he slowly advanced, trying to freeze my only scout left. It was an absolutely amazing game, he played very well.

Honestly one of my favorite games of all time, I wish I had taped it.

[Pxndx]

Edit

[xEaglex]

bobo99 vs xEaglex

xEaglex wins

Good game man.

[Xiahou Dun]

Trying to arrange another time with abhimanu. Well I dunno how much I'll be logging into the forums for the Weekend, but I am "Available" pretty much all the rest of today and Sunday so just gve me a time to come on for you and I should be able to be there.

[Master TAO]

Err, I forgot I signed up for a tourney? Umm take the win I don't play the game that much anymore.

EDIT: Also there any reason why some losers are red and others grey? :P

[pils]

We are matched up for the BG turt tourney.
Here are my times:
GMT -5
Wednesday(today) - Friday11:30am - 3:00pm & 9:00pm - 11:00pm
This weekend: No promises... I have work and a concert to go to...

Hey buddy,
Im eastern time zone and can play anytime on Thursday from 8-12 pm but wont be able to Friday cause I have baseball State semi-finals. Saturday around same time as thursday. Mostly any day ill be on around 8-12 pm

Is Pils your in game account?

Is that 8:00am - 12:00pm or 8:00pm - 12:00am?
If that is 8:00am - 12:00pm I can try to play tomorrow at 11:30am but it will be difficult because I might have a school thing till 2:30pm.
If its 8:00pm- 12:00am I can play at 10:00pm tomorrow.


It is pm. I am an mostly at night.
Sorry bout this weekend, i was playin baseball for the state tournament. We lost so Ill have more time now. Wanna try for tonight around 10 pm eastern time?

Can't tonight.... I have a concert to go to.
If we even can, I am willing to play tomorrow, at around 10:00pm.

HG took forever in clearing up time confusion, and I never saw him....
If its not to late, or if you'll allow it, (hool) I am willing to play tomorrow...

[elimination]

I had only 1 reply from sniper, I haven't goten any others, yet; and he didn't show up on the day we both said we could play. :/

[Sniper Master]

I said I could play, not that I would wait around all day. Anyways I sent you a PM back.

[abhimanu]

Trying to arrange another time with abhimanu.

pmed him/her when he/she was online. no response. gave msn for contact. will be on all day today.

he/she said he'd be online for some time today, so hopefully he'll come on or pm me.

[Xiahou Dun]

I wasn't online at the time of recieving that PM. Anyway, I said I'd be available today anytime you wanted to arrange but probably wouldn't be logging on very much randomly if no time was arranged. but give me pretty much any time during the next week and I'll probably be able to make.

[Master TAO]

Digix you around? if so come play on rev. if not, ill catch you late tomorrow night.

[Sniper Master]

Elimination vs. Sniper Master
Winner: Sniper Master
It was a good game but I got his mud and scout early which made it easy to pick his units off after.

[the bored king]

DFP vs Bored
Winner DFP

[Magician]

Jonspen can take the DQ win against me. I doubt we'll get our game in.

[abhimanu]

Xiahou Dun is on. I pmed him or her. Hopefully we can get this in.

Edit: Xiahou Dun was green when I sent the pm, but it says her last activity was the minute before I posted this and after I sent the pm.

[Lieutenant]

Still haven't received a response from Everlaster. Just to clear the facts, I can barely play tomorrow. On Wednesday, I have a ODT so I'll barely be able to play. Then again, my post is on Page 1, and I do hope that he can at least have the courtesy of PM'ing me. :(

[Detonation]

Detonation vs DMD
Winner: Detonation
Comments: I started with set disadvantage, he got mad at the end and starting shoting random things and then he left, his scout frozen was 27 after he healed, I was gonna kill it by the time he moved the other scout and then he killed a random shrub with his other scout that has 1 turn wait and my frost was 22 hp armored. Gg.

[Jonspen]

Jonspen can take the DQ win against me. I doubt we'll get our game in.

Sad face =(

[Hoolwath]

How much more time do you need?

[Jonspen]

Well, my exams on Monday the 2nd, and Mag missed the only times I have time to actually spend playing. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't going to take so long, but two furgies and lack of power units is going to be a long game which I just can't afford to waste. We attempted to meet up twice (Once on the Friday then I pm'd him back but he just posted this).

Tomorrow I have a driving lesson too. So I suppose I could play him on Monday straight after my exam if you'll allow a 3 day extention and Mag can make it. That's the earliest I can spare now. Last Friday and the weekend were really the opportunities.

[Hoolwath]

If Mag is available to play at that time I will allow it. Seems like Abhi and Xiahou will be getting an extension too.


I want to know the state these games are in:
Prof? vs. Veil
Pils vs. HG

[Jonspen]

I'll try and contact Mag and let him know.

[(*HG*)]

I have tried to get a game with pils, but no luck so far. Ill send him another PM with my times. I thought we had arranged a time two nights ago for 10 pm but he didnt show. Maybe a mis-communication?

[pils]

2 nights ago? I said that was the ONE night I couldn't play, because I had a concert to go to...
HG sent me a PM saying he could probably play me anytime today. I said 10pm...
I will be on rev tonight, on pils, at 10pm

[abhimanu]

If Mag is available to play at that time I will allow it. Seems like Abhi and Xiahou will be getting an extension too.


I want to know the state these games are in:
Prof? vs. Veil
Pils vs. HG

I have a pm saying 6 pm my time today, but I haven't been able to find him/her.

I'm on abhimanu, so she should know who I am.

[Xiahou Dun]

I apologise I wasn't waiting on the server just the forums. I'll come on in about 2 minutes just gotta finish cooking some pasta, but I can eat it while we play. :/

Edit: Been trying to find abhimanu on for the past 5 minutes or so but it seems he's not here... -.-

[abhimanu]

I apologise I wasn't waiting on the server just the forums. I'll come on in about 2 minutes just gotta finish cooking some pasta, but I can eat it while we play. :/

You can take your time. Eat in peace. I hate it when people are that pushy. If you have MSN, AIM or something, I'd like to not leave the forums/game on constantly.

Also, what account name should I be looking for when you do come on?

Edit1: We are playing now.

[The Professor?]

Meh, I've been busy. I'll contact Veil soon, hopefully we can get the game in or else you can just d/d me Hool.

[Veilmenacex]

Veilmenacex vs Professor?
Winner: The Professor?
Comments: none

[The Professor?]

The Professor? vs. Veilmenacex
Winner: The Professor?

Comments: Oppo side game, he had dragon, mud, archers, i had wisp and knight instead of dragon. He went on the attack and made me play defense. He went a little too aggressive and i was able to freeze his mud while blocking scouts LOS with furg. After that he surrendered since he would have lost mud for nothing. Good game nonetheless.

[Veilmenacex]

yeah kinda of wanted that game over with in a hurry...
since i cant use the furg i decided to go for the destone and kill off all his units

[abhimanu]

Abhimanu vs. Xiahou Dun
Winner: Abhimanu

HG vs. Pils
Winner: HG
Comments: Game lasted about 8 minutes. Lol shortest turt of my career. :)
s/s : On request

[Hoolwath]

What is the update on Mag/Jonsp situation?

DQs are in:
Everlaster - lack of commitment. No PM and no reply.
~KC~ - forfeited.


I will do the round 3 thread tomorrow.

Great job on getting the game done before the deadline guys. I am proud of you all. :)

[Jonspen]

Mag told me he's going to be at work so we can't fit the game in. He said I should just take the DQ and that we're going to arrange a game sometime out of the tournament when we're both available to see what the outcome would of been.

[Hoolwath]

Ok, one last try. When is the earliest you both could play?

Don't get me wrong. I have no problem with DQing Mag, I just want to know the other possibilities.

[Jonspen]

Earliest I can play is Monday, I leave tomorrow for the whole weekend, and I've spent the last few days since our last few times we arranged to play studying for my exam on Monday.

He said he's at work on Monday, so I guess if you want to add an even longer extension we can play on Tuesday.

[Hoolwath]

Tuesday is still fine. It is an extension for your game only.

[Jonspen]

Ok, now I have the painful task of trying to contact Mag again. I only managed to contact him this time round because he was in the lobby for the one day tourny but neither of us had time to play a lengthy BG style turt.

I'm gonna send him a pm, I'll keep you posted.

[Lieutenant]

Technically, I've seen how Mag didn't want to play his game, and gave Spenny the DQ. Spenny refused to receive it, but I doubt Mag will change decision. Anyways, when are the new brackets coming up? :D

[(*HG*)]

Lol Im with Lieuy! WHen is the new bracket coming out???
