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! :-\

This is the right place to report it, as I'm trying to keep things more together this month. Thanks for playing your game already :)

What happens if my opponent bailed on our scheduled match-up and hasn't responded to my PM's?

You chill for a few more days since he still has 5 left to respond to you.
Side note: how does joining ROOT late work now?

Wasn't sure if it was a calendar week or not. Cool

I'm not 100% on the calendar week, but you atleast have a few more days.

21st, was aparently in the OP this whole time... I can't read :'(

I can't read either. I withdraw my forfeit if possible.....

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.

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.

Consider it withdrawn. Just make sure to get your game in :)

Cool, I'd like in for next week.

My opponent still hasn't responded to the PM I sent him/her. I have a very short window of playtime tomorrow, as I said in the PM. If s/he responds after the window of opportunity, saying s/he can play, who forfeits? Me or him/her?

Indeed, this was a fun game even though I was trounced.

I ghosted TSE lastweek because I lost power when our game was scheduled then I was gone for regionals then vacation for the next week but I will be playing this week.

I'm glad you got your power back, and would suggest that you send a PM to Redemption101 to work out when to play :)

I won 5-4 against Alex, Zeb is IMBA.

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.
-
I got ghosted. pm sent.

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. :)
-
About my game w/ bluefrog, what are we going to call it? I wouldn't really call it a ghost, but I haven't been able to reach him since last week.

I got ghosted. pm sent.
PM received, and points awarded to RTSmaniac.

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.

All scores and rankings have been updated. Feel free to come who you play this week :)

I played the warrior the first round. Is there any way I can get a new opponent for the next round?

I apologize. I'll switch things around later tonight.
OK, only a couple games were effected, so I made the switches to the 1st post. Let the games continue :)
-
I am going to have to permanently forfeit, too much going on right now.

I defeated Professer underwood 5-0

How many weeks will this tourney be?
-
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 :)
-
Can we play longer? As of now, there is going to be a 3ish week break before Nats. Is there a reason we can't play another week?

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.

Defeated Alex 5-4 GG

Are there prizes for participating in the tourney?

Are there prizes for participating in the tourney?
Yes, there are some small prizes. We mostly just play for the fun of it, but there are a few booster packs that are given out as well.

That's cool, I was playing for fun but saw another post that showed booster pack prizes in previous ROOT tourneys. =)

Is this like a live tournament where we have to use the same deck the whole time, or can we change it/use a different deck?

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.

All right, thanks for the clarification.
-
Thomas and I just finished a very epic game. I won 5-3. Good opponent in Thomas. It was very fun!
BTW can you place a territory enhancement without an evil character?

You need a character in play with the brigade color of the TC enhancement.

Thanks for the clarification. I let him use one that way since I didn't know.

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... ;)
-
New Rankings and pairings are posted for this week.
Since we had a tie at the top, and they hadn't played each other, and some free weeks before Nats, we're going to go one more week. Enjoy the extra games guys, and thanks for a great tournament.
