hey when do you want to play our ROOT game?

I sent the above to RDT on the 21st and never got a response back. Perty sure I was ghosted though I will admit being busy I wasnt trolling Hamachi or the boards at all waking hours to harass a game out of RDT.

Sending a PM at the eleventh hour isn't really "making an effort" in my book.

like i said i was on all week and it was more of an effort than he made.

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #177 on:** October 24, 2011, 10:07:56 PM »

No, it isn't. It's an afterthought and nothing more than that.

Apparently he also waited for a PM all week. I appreciate that you did send him a message 3 hours before the deadline, but it really isn't reasonable to expect that he would get the message and be able to play the game. I won't count this as a ghost for either of you, and will just record the game as unplayed. Next time, hopefully both of you will PM your opponents much earlier in the week.

When do you think the next match ups should be up Prof?

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #181 on:** October 25, 2011, 01:26:01 AM »

The 5th round rankings & pairings are posted.

Just to remind everyone, this is the final week of the Oct ROOT. If you are interested in playing in the Nov/Dec ROOT, please sign up on this other thread.

confirmed, it was sad... I thought it would be awesome to have the first tournament I win be ROOT, but it was a well played game I can't complain.

Just as a heads up, due to this post, it looks as if Jordan may have a hard time playing against lp670sv this week.

Kirk, I'm going to need you to go ahead and lose your game against Pol, thanks.

Since no one has a bye this week, I assume I would just take a bye. Not that it matters too much since I can't place anyway. I hope he's alright; despite his obviously controversial viewpoints on everything, we'll miss him if he doesn't come back.

RDT 5, Red 0.

Yep, that's how I'll count it if he doesn't show back up. I too will miss his input here on the forum.

So... what happens if Kirk wins the game against Pol? You'll have three people all with the same amount of points, and each player will have won and lost against each of the other two.

1 - I guess I'll root for Pol to win and avoid the problem

2 - We were going to take 1 week off before starting the Nov/Dec ROOT. So if we have to I'll come up with some sort of thing to sort things out using that week

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #192 on:** October 27, 2011, 10:39:48 PM »

Oh yeah, I'm all in favor of the "Pol wins" option. I'm thinking maybe a battle royale?

soul seeker · « **Reply #193 on:** October 27, 2011, 11:11:51 PM »

I won my game with Redoubter 5-2. He made some great plays and it was enjoyable.

Thanks for a great tournament in October....I really enjoyed it.

Confirm. I pulled some tricks but it's hard to rescue with all your heroes at the bottom, oh well. Good game at least.

Thank goodness for SOG/NJ...

Captain Kirk · « **Reply #195 on:** October 28, 2011, 12:52:41 AM »

I beat Polarius 5-4 in a game completely dependent on card order. If not for him drawing 2 souls I could rescue w/ SoG/NJ on his final turn, I would have lost 5-3.

BATTLE ROYALE!

Edit: In all seriousness though, and I understand I'm biased so take this with a grain of salt, but wouldn't the easiest option be to give it to the guy with the best differential?

I think that is what it is suppose to go to. Game score -> head to head -> ls differential

Chronic Apathy · « **Reply #198 on:** October 28, 2011, 08:55:13 AM »

Yeah, but that's supposed to be if two people are tied at the end of a tournament and never played each other - I assume it would still apply here, but the rule was written with these circumstances in mind.

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #199 on:** October 28, 2011, 11:57:48 AM »

Confirm. A very fun well-played game.
