Round 7 Lore
Lucifer is powerful in ways that defy description. We need to strike now, hard and fast—before he finds his vessel.
As Vampires and Shapeshifters skirmish over petty trivialities, Lucifer makes his final preparations for the end of the world.
Odii Odsen: Something is wrong. There shouldn’t be four Vampires still alive.
chrispybacon84: And why do two of them look exactly the same?
Odii Odsen: Wait, that one looks like me!
Odii Odsen: I do? I never noticed.
chrispybacon84: I’m so excited to kill both of you!
Odii Odsen: Let’s just stop and figure out the cause of this.
chrispybacon84: I bet they’re Hunters who sharpened their teeth!
chrispybacon84: Then how would I have your facial features?
chrispybacon84: I don’t know, maybe you sharpened your face.
chrispybacon84: That doesn’t make sense!
Odii Odsen: They’re Shapeshifters. They have to be.
Odii Odsen: From my point of view, you’re the Shapeshifter.
Odii Odsen: Well, if we kill the Shapeshifter, it will revert back to its normal state, right?
chrispybacon84: Same thing happens if we kill its Vampire - the template snaps.
chrispybacon84: Then let’s just both kill our clones - easy.
Odii Odsen: Good, I love killing Shapeshifters.
chrispybacon84: Aha! That reveals that you’re a Vampire!
(chrispybacon84 bites off the neck of Odii Odsen, who reverts back into the SHAPESHIFTER JonathanCrazyJ.)
chrispybacon84: Wait, what? That wasn’t supposed to happen.
(chrispybacon84 runs away.)
chrispybacon84: Hm, I guess the Shapeshifter got away, how unfortunate.
Odii Odsen: Unless you’re the Shapeshifter.
chrispybacon84: But that would make him the Vampire. And why would a Vampire kill his own kind?
Odii Odsen: He’s...an odd case. I think the bacon got to his brain.
chrispybacon84: The what? Sorry, I’m a vegetarian.
Odii Odsen: Seriously?
chrispybacon84: Yeah, it’s pretty common among Shapeshifters.
chrispybacon84: Oh. Whoops.
Odii Odsen: Shapeshifter scum. Farewell.
(Odii Odsen uses a SILVER BLADE to stab chrispybacon84, who reverts back to Calindu.)
LUCIFER: For thousands of years, I have waited.
LUCIFER: At last…
LUCIFER: My time has come.

Game 3. Still wondering where all those stalls went to. Let's go SoVs here. Why entropy? Insurance, in case of pesky angels again. Bad draw, and in hindsight this probably wasn't a good idea. Loss.

Well, I would've liked a little more diversity, but the match was fun regardless. Good games chrispy and really well played!

[JonathanCrazyJ]

crispy is the Shapeshifter murderer

[rob77dp]

As I follow this, it seems that now:

1. www3 is in the final.
2. chrispy will face winner/advance-r of ji-vs-Odii
3. winner of chrispy vs ji/Odii meets Aves in the Loser's Bracket final
4. winner of Loser's Bracket final between Aves vs chrispy/ji/Odii meets www3 in the final
5. if www3 wins first match of finals, www3 is the Angelic champion and order is maintained
6. if www3 loses first match of finals, then they play another match
7. the winner of this possible final-rematch will be the winner of the event.

Am I seeing this accurately?

EDIT1: New item 4, revised item 3, renumbered previous 4-6 as 5-7.
