You have to play a new game every week to be part of the tournament, if you can't play then you'd have to forfeit this week's game.

Game score report--not sure if you want it here, but I can't find where else to put it, so feel free to move it.  :)

Red=3
me=4

GG  :)

I must say that Red should have won this game, but my defense was simply impenetrable....oh, well....ok, so I hardly drew any lost souls the whole game....that was really the defense. I havent seen such a LS drought in a long time. Sorry Red!  :-\

Hopefully they have responded by now.  But if not, then save a copy of your PM and send it to me after this week's deadline (Tue at midnight) and I'll give you full points for the win.

Side note: how does joining ROOT late work now?
Just let me know you want in, and I'll add you to next weeks pairings.  It'll be like you showed up for a tourney and missed the first round.

I withdraw my forfeit if possible.....
Consider it withdrawn.  Just make sure to get your game in :)

Bluefrog and I tried to play on Thursday but couldn't connect. We haven't been able to get back on (at least, not at the same time) since. As tonight is the deadline and we haven't been able to play, I have no idea what we should do. We didn't ghost, we just couldn't connect on Hamachi.

Me and sluggy have tried to play but we were never on at the same time. also slug couldn't give me any definite meeting time because of a rather uncertain schedule. additionally,i did not see much effort to play

i think this would qualify as a ghost.

You can have the ghost (BOOOOO!), but I don't agree with "not much effort to play"--I sent you numerous PM's when I was online on different days.  Our schedules just did not match. It happens. :)

Since you don't consider it a ghost, and since I don't know yet which of you has the RTS/Hamachi connection problems, I'll call this game "no-ghost", and we'll just hope that you both get things figured out for this week.

I don't agree with "not much effort to play"--I sent you numerous PM's when I was online on different days.
After reading through the many PMs back and forth, I come to the conclusion that slug earned these points this week.  I hope that you both are able to find a time to play your opponents this week.

I defeated Professer underwood 5-0
Confirmed.  That game could not have gone more amazingly badly for me.  No mistakes by either player, but the draw was suuuuuure in Red's favor.  However, he played great, was a good sport, and deserved the win :)

How many weeks will this tourney be?
Good question.  1 more week after this one.  Then we'll take a break until Nats, and start off the August ROOT right after Nats.

There also may be a special 1 day live online Nats Alternative Tourney (like last year) depending on whether I am able to make it to Nats, and depending on whether someone else will run it for me if I do go to Nats :)

I guess we could if that's what most people want to do.  I would be more inclined to do it if we were looking at a tie at the top, and less inclined to do it if we had clear winners to place.  But I'm not locked in either way at this point.

You can use as many decks as you like.  The only caveat is that you are only allowed to "virtually rip" 3 Haman's Plot cards in a single tournament month.  That simulates you having 3 copies of the same deck checked in.

Confirmed. I couldn't get any Evil characters at the end, and neither of us knew if you could play a territory like that. He essentially walked in for the last couple of souls.

Psyched him out by leaving my Herod's Dungeon open with a site discard LS though... ;)
