I made these pairings before before I saw Bowvamp confirming his drop, and I am NOT remaking them for a third time. Congrats on your 2-0 win, Madmaniac21!

Round 2 ends Saturday, April 18th at 11:59PM PST (23:59 PST).

EDIT: Prize right now consists of a DCI Spiritmonger, a Tarmogoyf, and a Wasteland. If anyone wants to volunteer something, please do so soon. I'll hash out the exact prize structure by round 3.

[Nihil Credo]

To avoid problems later on, "Ordered pairing" allows you to manually pair players. In DCI-Reporter 2.9x, it's under the "Perform" menu.

EDIT: I've PM'd you stuff that may help.

[pi4meterftw]

B0W53R lost his last match, A_Z. I know this because I am playing his opponent.

[bowvamp]

I'm confirming my drop.

[B0W53R]

Yeah, I lost 1-2.

[Pinder]

So we're re-pairing?

[stuckpixel]

Would appear so. Not terribly surprised considering I was 2-0 round 1, and was matched up with a 1-2 at table 2.

Hopefully they'll be up soon.

[Eldariel]

Luckily I didn't get to play yet. Thanks for the quick repair - woulda been a pain if half the round had already been played.

[TheBirdMan]

Im sure emidln dropped from the tournament at round 1.

[emidln]

When we repair can I be dropped for real this time? Thanks.

[Paradigm Shift]

I beat TheBirdMan 2-0, he had some pretty bad hands/draws :(

[nitewolf9]

Forbiddian gets the match 2 - 0. I drop as well. I've had my fill of Negator, out of my system now.

[Forbiddian]

Forbiddian 2-0 vs. Nitewolf9

[Kuma]

Melman wins 2-0

[Melman]

Melman 2-0 Vs Kuma, Match #11
Good games, if a little silly on the shuffling for the second.

[irrelevant]

sent Nemcon a PM

[Van Phanel]

I beat DeathScythe 2-0.

Strange games.

I won game 1, had everything looking good in G2 then we got a "Session Lost: Disconnected" when I was winning and in our replayed game he had to mulligan to five.

Screw MWS.

[DeathScythe]

I beat DeathScythe 2-0.

Strange games.

I won game 1, had everything looking good in G2 then we got a "Session Lost: Disconnected" when I was winning and in our replayed game he had to mulligan to five.

Screw MWS.

Seconded, I never play decks I hardly know in the future though XD

[Bigface]

I drop. Can't keep up with study, work and American time. Good luck everybody!

So... I assume Joe_C wins 2-0.

[Goaswerfraiejen]

Are you sure my opponent is "heriocraptor"? Because I just searched the entire site, and this is the only thread in which that name appears. It's also not in the original signup thread.

[mujadaddy]

[KillemallCFH]

Elof wins 2-1. Good opponent; good games.

[elof]

elof wins 2-1 vs KillemallCFH, really nice games. Nice playing with you, best of luck later on!

[Goaswerfraiejen]

try heroicraptor

Thanks. Sent a message to him.

By the way, Aggro_Zombies, if that typo's on your main list, it may be worth fixing it to prevent other silly people like me from asking the same question. :smile:

[matelml]

matelml wins 2-1 from Klaus.

[klaus]

matelml wins 2-1 from Klaus.

confirmed, I lose, and I'm >NOT< quitting!!! :cool:

[leander?]

I drop. Can't keep up with study, work and American time. Good luck everybody!

So... I assume leander? wins 2-0.
And I'm not even American:cry: (don't regret it at all, btw:wink: )

[Joe_C]

pi4meterftw wins 2-0

I need to drop due to availabilty. This time differencial stuff makes everything very complicated

[pi4meterftw]

I confirm Joe_C's result 2-0 pi4meterftw. Good luck with stuff.

[TheBirdMan]

confirm i lost 0-2 :-(

[Eldariel]

My deck decided to take a dump on me. crz87 wins 2-0 vs. Eldariel

[stuckpixel]

stuckpixel defeats puppektion 2-0.

Shuffler reared it's head both games.

[jakolhops]

Jakolhops wins over Giles
2-1
Very close match (few DC here and there, but wow was that close)

[Giles]

I went: lost in three.

I want to publicly thank jakolhops for his patience. Since we had to play five games to do it.

[puppektion]

stuckpixel defeats puppektion 2-0.

Shuffler reared it's head both games.

Confirmed. As it's been said before "before any deck, *my* deck's greatest weakness is the MWS shuffler:tongue:"

Regardless, it was a good match, and I wish stuckpixel best of luck in the rest of the tourney.

[GGoober]

Confirming to Eldariel: I beat Eldariel 2-0. He got unlucky and drew into too little threats, and I think it was a bad MU for him against mine, especially when I drew well and had the right answers at the right time.

[throst54]

I pm'd my opponent this morning but i've yet to get a response.

will resume waiting.

[Dark_Shakuras]

I pm'd my opponent this morning but i've yet to get a response.

will resume waiting.

concede to throst54, and drop. RL is a bitch.

[The Wes]

Me vs. Deadlock, he won 2-1. My hate couldn't keep up!

[THEchubbymuffin]

Still have gotten no reply from my opponent. I will try to send him another message.

[Nemcon]

I'm gonna have to give my opponent the win and drop out. Class load is kicking my ass this week.

[mujadaddy]

I really don't think dropped opponents should count as a 2-0.

[klaus]

Sry for the spam but I'm really annoyed by all of you guys dropping out :frown:
-
I don't see how spending one hour, playing your favorite game, once in 5 days (120hs) is asked too much.
I mean it's really up to you and I surely don't wanna be that guy, it's just that I don't get it...

[Melman]

qft. It's somewhat ridiculous.

[Dark_Shakuras]

Here let me explain my scedual...

Work 10-8 all this week.
Leave for Mexico Friday morning (11am-1pmish)
Sunday night come back from Mexico
Monday morning, pack car.
Monday afternoon, drive to NorCal to visit sister.
Return home Thursday night.
Work 11-8 Friday, and Saturday.
Help sister with Gold Award Project 10-6 Sunday.
Monday onwards work.

[jthanatos]

Jthanatos wins over mujadaddy 2-1 in about 80 games. MWS seems to hate us both. Good games with him, and he was a good sport about it.

I'm pretty sure that people on this site would be more than willing to play a game with you after 8 pm.

[mujadaddy]

Jthanatos wins over mujadaddy 2-1 in about 80 games. MWS seems to hate us both. Good games with him, and he was a good sport about it.Absolutely, you too. ...it was more like 15 games though, not 80 :laugh: ...judging from the way those other games went, we'd probably go 60-40, as long as my luck held :cool:

Confirm, 2-1, jthanatos > mujadaddy.

[pi4meterftw]

Drops should count as 2-0 otherwise people dropping will just resign first, report 2-0, and drop by the next round. There's no way to stop it.

[Dan Turner]

I beat B0W53R 2-1. He GAMBLE-d to much and lost.

[mujadaddy]

Drops should count as 2-0 otherwise people dropping will just resign first, report 2-0, and drop by the next round. There's no way to stop it.Sure there is. It should count as a bye for the staying player, but not as VICTORIES.

[Dark_Shakuras]

This is how a real tourny works. After round 2 tons of people drop, so it's just like a real tourny, stob bitching cause you didn't get lucky to get a free 2-0 win.

Also remember, it screws the breakers of people that get it, so it's not that good.

Im not bitching cause I didn't get a free win, I'm bitching because I may now have to play fewer games. I joined this tournament to play magic, not to play 2 (exaggeration) rounds and enter the finals =/.

But regardless, if you (everyone) truly can't swing it, fine. If you can, please do. That's all.

[B0W53R]

B0W53R loses 1-2. Magic is fun and cruel when you gamble in game 3.

[mujadaddy]

This is how a real tourny works. After round 2 tons of people dropWhat about after round 1? How many people decide to leave the tournament before their second match?

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

I beat Eldritch Alien 2-1

[BKclassic]

I win, 2-0. Electrolyze is dropping.

[elof]

With all players dropping, how many will it be til round 3?

[Forbiddian]

FYI, everyone, there are still 30 tables after round 1.

It seems like ~1/10 people dropped. Considering that this tournament is a commitment over the next at least few weeks, it doesn't seem too unreasonable that some would decide to drop, especially given the timing/scheduling issues we've had.

[pi4meterftw]

Sure there is. It should count as a bye for the staying player, but not as VICTORIES.

My point was that there's a way to circumvent this. Staying players will simply ask their opponent to stay an extra round. In fact, this would be even worse than just awarding the 2-0 win, since then you provide an incentive for dropping players to stay one extra round and get paired against one extra person before dropping. Supposing, in fact, that the same situation arises (I.e. two dropping people don't get paired), one would have the same situation again.

[irrelevant]

I'm gonna have to give my opponent the win and drop out. Class load is kicking my ass this week.

Well that sucks.

i guess i win 2-0

[Anusien]

I lose 2-1.

[tyleredw]

I lose 2-1.

Confirming.

I beat Anusien 2-1

[4eak]

I've gotten no responses from my opponent, Zir. I really don't want to be forced into drawing because I haven't been given an opportunity to play my match. Would it be possible for me to play out against someone else in my position (assuming someone else can't reach their opponent)?




peace,
4eak

[honz]

Something came up and i gotta drop out. I won't have internet for the next couple of weeks =(

Anyhow, i forfiet 0-2 to atwa.

[THEchubbymuffin]

Still no reply from Vstheworld. What happens in this scenario?

[bowvamp]

How about playing 4eak vs. THEchubbymuffin? This would bridge the gap created by unresponsive players.

[4eak]

My only concern is that I am being paired down. If I'm not getting a bye for a no-show opponent, and there aren't 1-0's I can face, then I'd be happy to play THEchubbymuffin.






peace,
4eak

[Pinder]

Nihil gets mana screwed in G1, I get mana flooded in game 2, then we settle down and play a real game of Magic, and he gets there.

Nihil wins 2-1 vs. Pinder

[Nihil Credo]

Confirmed. And I agree that the part Pinder's bowels played in the match is best left unsaid.

[Zir]

I'm available now, we'll be finishing the game as soon as possible.

[VeniVidiVici]

Jak wins 2-1.

[Jak]

Jak wins 2-1.

Confirmed.

[Roman Candle]

There's been too much going on for me right now for me to continue.

Dissolution gets the win, and I drop.

[pi4meterftw]

This is pretty awesome, it'd be nice if we could regularly do tournaments, especially since I actually own the deck I'm playing but have no where to play it since neither my college campus (UCSD) nor my permanent home is near any legacy-hosting cardshop. It sucks pretty bad.

Maybe since a lot of people have dropped we can speed up the tournament to 3-4 days, but if not, perhaps in the future we should host tournaments in parallel, one fast and one slow so people can choose and don't drop all over the place. This would require more manpower, so I would be willing to occasionally host, though I have none of the software so I don't know if it'd be possible.

[Zir]

Lost to 4eak 0-2.

[4eak]

I didn't think I would recover in the first game, but I managed. The second game Zir got mana screwed. Other than that, his deck is very cool.






peace,
4eak

[Kuma]

Eldariel wins 2-0.

Drop me.
