My apologies, Lukas. Yes, you got the bye this round. I am still not completely familiar with the DCI Reporter, and how it places everyone.

@Overlord: Considering the tournament started twenty minutes before you posted, I would not worry about it just yet. You have two days still.

When do we cut to top 8 BTW? and what's the estimated date for the Finals?

I don't know. There are two drops with less than half the first round completed. I'll have to see how many remain after the third round. I can guarantee there will be at least five rounds of swiss before a cut to top 8.

I get smashed 2-0. It would help if I had sideboard correctly, but ah well. I, too, shall drop to pick up the remains of my deck's dignity.

Parcher
08-28-2006, 10:28 AM
New rules update.

If you are unavailable for one round, and do not post, or PM why, you will get a match loss.

If this happens a second time, you will be automatically dropped from the tournament.

People join this to test decks against competant players more than anything. I'm not having ten guys advance 1-0 like last tourney because their opponent's signed up, than dissapeared.

Tao
08-28-2006, 12:53 PM
I hope its no big problem. I lost my deck and now it has a different Security Code, but it is still the same deck.

Yeah, I won 2-1. Gotta admit that I got really lucky and Aseraphim got really, really unlucky during the third game. There were some nice moves on his side, though. I had a lot of fun... thanks! :)

Parcher
08-31-2006, 12:57 AM
Okay, guys. A few things.

1) I recieved the prizes from Kadishack. Kady...you the man.

2) Both Skogen and Rambo have yet to post.

So. Here's the situation. I'm going to put up pairings giving Skogen and Rambo the loss, and dropping them from the tournament.

However, I'm doing this because I'll be busy as hell tomorrow, and I might not have time to finish if they show.

I'm putting up pairings now, but please don't post results if you play them out before nine tomorrow morning. If one of these matches gets played, I'll have to repair.

Just for help, Skogen I'm almost absolutely certain has dropped for good, he just got a job out at Best Buy this week and has 45 hours he's working, hasn't had time to do much between that and school. Figured I'd give a quick update on his behalf.

Atwa
09-02-2006, 07:41 AM
PunkRocker1134, I've replied to your mssg.

PM me when you wake up.

Parcher
09-02-2006, 08:22 AM
It is now 8:20 am

I want to stress how much I appreciate almost half the results not being posted yet.

bigbear102
09-02-2006, 09:42 AM
Tao and I have yet to have a chance that we can actually play, we have talked several times though.

Parcher
09-02-2006, 11:59 AM
I am at a loss.

I really don't know how to continue the tournament at this point. With six matches still unresolved, I am loathe to give them all draws.

So, my decision is to put a hold on it until after the weekend.

I deeply apologize to all who had the courtesey to finish their matches in time, as you don't deserve this. But otherwise, the tourney is dead in the water.

Hopefully these people will at least post so I have some idea what the situation is. If Monday goes by with no change, the entire thing will be cancelled.

Tao
09-02-2006, 12:11 PM
I PM Bigbear since 2 days and he wanted to PM me when he is there, but that never happened.

PunkRocker1134
09-02-2006, 12:52 PM
Me and Atwa can only get in contact by PM and its not working so hot. Im sorry for the setback. I think Atwa would agree that if we cant get our game going we will have to take the draw and be fine with it.

edgewalker
09-02-2006, 02:31 PM
Still no response from JereM. So I haven't talked to him at all.

bigbear102
09-02-2006, 02:51 PM
Well Tao isn't on right now, and I'm headed to Conn. for the Mana Leak.... so I guess we take a draw.

Don't just cancel the tourney... draws are strange for top 8, but reporter will still pair it. You already have Kadilak's prizes anyway. This many draws will also make it more competitive in the later rounds.

Greater Tao (3:22:06 PM): ...
BBon1298 (3:24:01 PM): yeah
BBon1298 (3:24:27 PM): we can play now
BBon1298 (3:24:54 PM): ?
BBon1298 (3:25:05 PM): are you there???

so yeah... this is what i'm dealing with.

Tao
09-02-2006, 04:20 PM
I accept the draw, but this really sucks. I think he didn't want to play me, but I have no idea why because a draw helps neither him nor me. He was really happy with the draw, too.

I PMed him about 7 times on AIM since friday with no or little responses. After my last message "..." at 3:22 I was afk drinking something for 10 minutes.

The conversation with him continued like that:

BBon (Bigbear) 3:26: "ok, so yeah... thanx for the draw"
Me 3:37: "yes, was just out getting something to drink"
BBon automatic note: "Going to Connecticut to be a nerd.... hell yes! Be back late Sunday/Monday"

So I missed the 5 minutes in 3 days where he was available.

Parcher
09-02-2006, 05:32 PM
Perhaps I was unclear.

No one has recieved a draw yet.

I am holding all decisions until Monday at noon. If any game remains unplayed then, the players will either recieve a draw, or in the case of a complete no-show, a loss. JeremM is of the latter category. Lego/Unicorn, Di/Aggro. Tao/bear, and punk/atwa are all looking at draws, thogh this is at Aggrozombies discretion, as Diablos has yet to post this round.

Yes, this contravenes what I said earlier regarding the length of the round, but the entire idea of this tournament was to actually play good games against good opponents. This crap about who the draw does or does not favor is against the whole spirit of this contest.

Those who have issue with the extension either should have already completed their games, or have, and most likely will understand.

Once again, sorry for the inconvienience to those who have so kindly completed their games in the alloted time.

JeremM
09-02-2006, 07:05 PM
Sorry for not posting earlier, but I don't have access to MWS until Tuesday (and the last match infuriated me to no end - GG Intarwebz), so I'm dropping.

Aggro_zombies
09-02-2006, 08:54 PM
Diablos takes it 2-1 and I drop due to time constraints. Good luck sir.

Lego
09-02-2006, 09:23 PM
Our match not having been played yet is my fault. I moved to school in Boston yesterday, so I didn't have internet access. I still have no internet access (I'm borrowing a laptop from the cute girl down the hall :wink:) and I won't have it on my personal computer until Tuesday. I should be able to finish the round on Monday though, in the library, although I'm honestly not sure yet. I'm really sorry about this, I didn't realize it'd be such a hassle to get internet access at the school. If the round ends and our match hasn't been reported, I'll take the drop.

I'm unfamiliar with tiebreakers. Why am I in 4th when Anusien has gone 2-1 in all matches and I've swept everyone?

Tie breakers are based first on your total Match wins (in your case 3) and then secondly by your opponents win percentage. 2-0 vs 2-1 isn't taken into consideration in most cases.

I'm unfamiliar with tiebreakers. Why am I in 4th when Anusien has gone 2-1 in all matches and I've swept everyone?

It's your own fault. You beat people so badly that they drop. This wrecks your tiebreaks. Plus, Anus beat me 2-0(not 2-1) when I was at 2 and 0, so that helps him even more.

Game wins is the 3rd tiebreak, which usually only come up with much more data involving more players, and matches played.

Bigbear102 defeats me 2-0, with the lightlights of the game:

- Me casting a Chalice set at 5 (didn't even think that was possible).
- Me drawing only crap during the whole game (should have at least won the first game when I softlocked him, but didn't draw something to finish the job.
- Bigbear102 playing very well and having answers to my treads whenever he needed them.
- Me deceiding to drop afterwards, since I started a new job 2 weeks ago, which is may more exhausting than I remembered from my interim year. Must be the 60 hour weeks, spending way too much time in hotels and playing MWS in the middle of the night.

Parcher, again props for organizing this thing, maybe the next time when I won't be as busy at work, I'll have the time to compete on a more serious level (with me not picking a deck I've never played before 12 hours before the start).

You told you wanted to play me in the Top8, I'm sorry, not this time. PM me when we both are online and we'll play the game we should have played (same decks).

To all the other people who are still playing: Good Luck, May the best geek win :)

Well, this hurt a few people through tiebreaks, but mostly IBA. Though if either of you had posted in the past two days, I would have happily changed this. It also will switch up a lot of strategies, as Tao is tops of the 7 pointers, and now gets a 2-0 win.

1 [CHK] Yosei, the Morning Star
2 [EX] Recurring Nightmare

I've always wondered why no one put these two together in a Rec Sur deck. I did it back when Kamigawa first came out, and it was hella fun. Not particularly good (I just played a WB Reanimator) but fun, and good enough to win a few weeks in a row at the local tournament. How has it been for you Tao?

It was quite strong. It won me Game 1 vs. Anusien in the 1/4 final. It also won against Lukas in the semis, but that game would have been mine even without Yosei. I am still not sure if Yosei is needed in the MD, but so far I am satisfied.

Why no Great Whale?

This is a control deck and not a Combo deck. For me it is very important to be able to cast every spell in the deck. But Great Whale or Palinchron only work with an active Survival and an active Nightmare. Therefore they are "win more" too often.
