His win was 'cause I didn't know novas were banned. 

Topdecking 3 sundials in the last game isn't fun.

Actually, those were all in my hand when I said the thing about topdecking. My math was off, and I thought I'd need more sundials. Guess not.

I couldn't deck him. I couldn't deny him 'cause he'd RoF me first. So I tried to outquanta him with the pests, it only worked twice.

I should have swapped an animate for a staff. Somehow I missed the fact that the staff/animate counts were off. Anyway, I didn't draw a single staff, so I had nothing but pillars, pends, and quanta. :/ I lost.

-1 Mark

G2: V. Vampsaders (Loss)

Code: [Select]

Lost the code. :/ It was pestal with vamps though.
I had to fractal Vamps to stay alive here, and didn't get to fractal pests at all. We vamped our HP back and forth, but my vamps were slower and smaller. When he pulled out the crusader that would finish me if it endowed, I had to double DL it to kill it. A few turns later, another 'sader comes out, this time I have no CC. I lose.

-1 Mark

G3: V. Vampsaders (Win)

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f5 5f5 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f8 5f8 5fb 5fb 5fb 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 7dn 7e4 7k2 7k2 7k2 7k2
Fire/Light stall just couldn't be beaten with Vampsaders. I don't think anything of his stayed down for more than 3 turns.

  Mark Stays

G4: V. Shrieker Rush w/ EQ and Steel Golems

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f5 5f5 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f8 5f8 5fb 5fb 5fb 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 7dn 7e4 7k2 7k2 7k2 7k2
I thought he might use shrieker rush, and I figured I could compensate for EQ if he had it, but Steel Golems are hard to CC, especially when I'm being EQ'd to death. I managed to get him down to 9 cards in his deck or so before he finally ran me out of quanta and/or CC. I actually had my next Miracle in hand, but only about 7 Light quanta. I lost.

-1 Mark

Remaining marks: None, I'm out. GJ Wiz.

Now go trash your next opponent.

First!

It looks to be self-promotion time again. 

Vote for lucky #13, folks! Not only does it accurately reflect what is going on here, but it also happens to be quite prettiful IMO. (Go stare at it a while, then vote for it. =P)

I won't run this event anymore because my brain is the size of a peanut and I'm not smart enough to run this.

Well then... In that case, are the matchups in the spreadsheet final for R9? Or do we wait for someone else to take over and start R9?

+ 1 Nymph for me. (Finally, I have a purple one...)

It's only been a week since my last nymph, I think that's a new record for me.

Anyway, that brings me to...

« on: December 22, 2010, 09:35:15 pm »

Well... We played 2 games, but then he just let me have the 3-0 win. Here are the decks I used games we played:

G1: V. Fire/Light Sundial stall? (Loss)

Code: [Select]

5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f5 5f5 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f6 5f7 5f8 5f8 5fb 5fb 5fb 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 5gi 7dn 7e4 7k2 7k2 7k2 7k2
No reflective for me means no bolt damage past his reflective, and my fahren was out way too late. I lost.

G2: V. Nova Speed Poison? (Win)

Code: [Select]

5um 5um 5um 5um 5uo 5uo 5uq 5ur 5ut 5ut 5ut 61o 61o 61o 61o 622 622 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 63a 7t6 7ta 7tc 7tc 80i 80i
I managed to outrush him. The vampire + eclipse + fractal combo definitely helped.


After that, he said that he'd just give me the 3-0 rather than bother with finishing this.

EDIT: Once again, I have to put this in an edit...

No lives gained or lost for 3-0 forfeit.

Lives left:

War Archive / Re: Voices of the Fallen - eliminated teams discuss what went wrong

« on: December 19, 2010, 12:20:33 am »

Bad starting Vault. This one's on me. I couldn't get online and help

That was more everyone who was online's fault. I was here for that, but too lazy to go count pillars. Seriously, we struggled through the first round due to lack of pillars. It was certainly more our fault for not counting up our pillars (or possibly failing at it), than it was yours for not being able to be here.

Some bad decisions during the Auction too. Some players (I'm not gonna say names) were less active (and thus less useful) than I thought they would.

I'm probably included in those names you didn't say. I was really active when this started, but slowly lost interest due to the fact that I didn't actually have an official duty to perform. (Well, that is, no duel organizing to do...) I helped out a lot at the beginning, but when I saw that it seemed I was superfluous to the operation, I started to skip our chat parties. It seemed that the most that I did at the parties was hand out rares with PvP farms. As much as I like math, I didn't want to look at numbers for salvaging/discarding in some rounds, so I didn't. Selfish and Lazy, that's what I am. Sorry team. Sorry fans*. Sorry other peoples.

"Laziness is not a virtue." -Salamence_747

Y'know what. That quote is going in my sig.

*Yeah, right. I don't have fans.

Well, we lost. But... well, [insert speech about how we'll be back next war here] and [insert speech about how the RNG screwed us over here].

I think you may have transposed your speeches.

If my math is right, we are guaranteed 10th or better. Our best possible position being 8th. Depends on who else dies this round, and if my criteria are correct.

Anyway... Although this is somewhat disappointing, I must say that this war was both educational and fun. As Team Light's Cheerleader* Duel Organizer, I um...um...eh...yeah, I didn't really have anything else to say...

*I didn't do a single thing as duel organizer, and all matches were played with no subbing. So I figured I'd give myself the cheerleader position as well.
