Grid - Battle Results / Re: Round 6 Results

« on: June 24, 2011, 06:30:06 am »

Napalm was a no-show for our match tonight ...

@Gyrodiot: given that Napalm forfeited in rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5, shouldn't she have been subbed by this point?  Anyways, I'll post my picks after round deadline (just in case match magically happens).

edit: These would have been my picks ... I guess I just get the minimum relics now?

Cell	Card	Target?
A7	Chimera
B2	1 relic
C4	Emerald Dragon
D3	3 relics
E12	1 relic
F1	Black Hole	***
G6	1 relic
H10	1 relic
i11	Titan	***
J5	1 relic
K8	2 relics
L9	Mummy	***

All picks were ninja picks.

Swapping the 1-point group with the 2-point group (i.e., making pillars and pendula worth only 1 point each) would give much greater incentive for innovative deck building.  Right now, it is probably almost always better to use 2.5 pillars than flooding or aflatoxin - kinda defeats the purpose of the event.

An alternative would be to have the card values range from 0 to 10 points.  People would think twice about passing on aflatoxin when they could get 10 point per afla in their deck.

ralouf1:1
SteppingStone81:0

We started our first game I got an amazing hand. In 4 turns I had enough damage to kill him in 2 turns (27 and he was at 54) and we desynched. (he played graboids rush used 3 nova I used BH right after) he had a shrieker and I was at 90.
Then I played the AI and drew an archangel and kill him.
I asked him if he played the AI cuz the game seems pretty done he told me no : desynch = rematch.

I answered that fair player can give the match in case of desynch.
He flame on and told that I accuse him off unfair play and cheat...
But he told :

SteppingStone81 [»] ralouf1: that may well be, you are winning 1-0

He never answered then.

I let the LO decide what to do

You were trying to browbeat me into forfeiting an early desynch:

[10:48:20] SteppingStone81 [»] ralouf1: early desynch = rematch
[10:48:44] ralouf1 [»] SteppingStone81: if you are a fair player that is not needed

I decided to concede the game to you but am not interested in having anything further to do with you.  Best of luck in CL, ralouf!

edit for LO's benefit: I happily concede the match to ralouf1 also, but will not play him again

We might as well salvage something from here, since we can just convert it next round anyways.

We can keep 15 cards from here.  I think many non-pendulum death cards plus

1 x EA3 x diamond shield6 x earthquake

(earthquakes likely to help vs UW decks)

S'ok, fat decks will be fat decks. Looks like we got countered anyway. Funny to see us doing that to each other in one round x)
Luckily for us, both salvages and discards are better for us. gg's, mentlegen.

Unsurprisingly, fat decks both lost.  Easy to discard, though, as you say.

Reminds me of an RPG:

was the boss.

and were the tanks,
sniped from the back row,
griped from the back row.

Someone was supposed to heal the tanks, but I guess our healers , , and died too early in the fight.
