The Core Four Event

[majofa]

Really... I sent Terroking messages... he never responded and never sent me anything...
I refuse to take a loss in this round..

majofa, you fail to understand.  I have copies of messages from BOTH you and Terroking. Standing PVP Event rules are that if both players make the attempt and the game doesn't go down, both players lose.  It sucks, but it's the only fair way to make sure everyone makes their best attempt to play every round.

You don't really have the option to "refuse" to take a loss.

Then tell me this.. how did he try to contact me?  Because I received ZERO messages from him.  None.  And I know he's been on because his profile says when he last logged in.  I mean, maybe I forgot to BC you a copy of my messages to him.. did I?

[majofa]

..and also he's admitted to receiving at least one message from me.  I don't believe sitting in Chat for however long a day is an okay way of trying to set up a match...

**Funny thing is, he's on right now and wants to play.. Could we play?  If we can, then I'll play him. **

[Appawesome]

By law, I forfeit and xuru takes the round.

[xuru]

essence, shouldn't you have additional 90 points?
You started from second round.

i believe essence had to disqualify himself for breaking his own rules. he used OTHER cards in one of his decks.

[Essence]

majofa v. Terroking has been changed after a lengthy investigation.  Kevkev, you must play majofa for the semifinals, and your score has reverted to a standing 202 points. 

Also, for the record, I am in fact DQ'ed for breaking my own rules.   Go me.

thedictator has been given a bye for that reason.

kevkev 2 - majofa 1

Game 1 (I won): I had exactly 8:earth and was therefore able to play a shrieker and do exactly 32 damage, leaving him at 0 and dodging death.

[vs. mono-earth]  LOSS
?s are unupped Fire Pendulums.
We both were doing damage quick. He EQ me a few times. I only drew one CC. In the end I had 32 hp and he had 3 Shriekers, put another one down and won it.

[vs. wind/water]  WIN
He got an early Squid and Owl's Eye. My Basilisk's Blood and Ice Shield slowed him down just enough. My two attacks with Fog Shield in play hit for the win.

[vs. mono-fire]  LOSS
?s are unupped Air Pendulums.
Fire is the most versatile, so facing it last is tough. I chose to go for Flying Owl's Eyes. I ended up drawing a hand full of pillars/pendulums and one Owl's Eye that was quickly Deflagged. Rest of the game I spent drawing the rest of my pillars and a couple Flying Weapons. ><

[Essence]

This is getting silly.  There's 2 hours left in a 3-day round, and ONE MATCH got played, and I have exactly 2 PMs trying to set up times to play.    What's up, guys?

I'm granting a 48-hour extension -- anyone who has not played their 3rd-round match (or the 2 relevant Loser's Bracket matches) -- or at least BCCed me a PM to their opponent trying to get a match started -- in that time is disqualfied outright. 

Capisce?

[Dragoon]

xuru and I should be playing our game today in about 4 1/2 hours . . . hopefully.

[bored_ninja777]

capisce is to one person... capite? would be the right form... you all... not the he/she form just saying..

[RavingRabbid]
