Sup guys. So it is terrible for a reserve to do this but I was just informed today! On sunday I'll be heading out to sea for two weeks. So, it would be nice to get as many matches as possible before then. I am free weekdays from 5:30-10:30 CST~ pm me or xbox me or something. Once again, XBL tag: Blissey

Love it when they give you short notice. The gave me a week notice that I was given Ramstein in Germany. A week to get my shit pack and all the other preparations? That's fucked.

Pjstelford

If there are still slots, sign me up.

PA: PJStelford
XBLA: Daemon Aconis

If not, keep me in mind for the next perchance? Gratsi!

truck-a-sauras

k, sent along some friend requests to most. Anytime you see me on, even if playing another game just message me to set up a game.

BlueBlue

Lost one of three so far against truck and his black deck.

I maybe could have stood a chance if I had used your assassin on your specter, but I had thought I would be able to tap it, and then have his ability kill himself. Turns out, no!

toolbert

now that Octo has comepletely beat my ass in, I'm ready for my next challenge >.>;;

Octobot

again i feel i got lucky. The first match i got destroyed, but rallied back in the next two (one was all one sided for me and the other was a more even match) My main luck was the lack of forest walking elves. But either way were some good matches.

BlueBlue you have only played one match or only lost one match to truck-a-saurus?

Jam Warrior

And with Moridin889 in for projectmayhem, we're briefly up to full roster again!

toolbert

Ocoto, you only got destroyed the first match because you got mana screwed. Two lands and that deck do not mix so well. As for the last game, I made some bad, bad, bad plays that I'm still kicking myself for. I also had to mulligan twice to get a completely crappy hand. But, I had tons of fun and am waiting to take on my next challenge! I should be on Friday and Saturday morning for those who feel up to it.

kraterface

Wait, who am I supposed to be playing? I didn't realize the second games had been assigned.

We played one game only. 2 more to go to finish up our entire match. Didn't have time to finish last night. good game.

Jam Warrior

I've not assigned any more until everyone has one game in. But you'll be playing everyone eventually so you're free to play anyone you want whenever you want. Assigned games are just a target to keep things moving.

Octobot

ive just been seeking out people to play when i see them on. Im trying to get on with BlueBlue because he has the time constraints, so hopefully i can get that match in soon.

truck-a-saurus/BlueBlue ok just let me know who wins in the end and ill update the chart

Jam Warrior

I just beat Moridin 2-0. It was not a glorious victory but some really bad luck with draws on Moridin's side leaving him mana short and unable to answer the blue flier army.

I've got Cullen lined up to take over from Blueblue when he sadly has to leave us.

Haha, you make it sound like I'm dying.

kraterface

Well, I'm ready to play whenever. Anyone and everyone, feel free to send my a friend request and throw down against the all powerful Chandra deck, yeah the one that got whooped on by a robot octopus.

BlueBlue

It's go time~

Well, you have to accept my request. I am Blissey.

...I tire of waiting and it is no longer go time!

kraterface

Bad news everyone. I don't know why or how, but I am banned from XBL for one week. I haven't been on in a few days and then today I'm banned. Give me some time and I'll be back in the game. What sucks is that apparently, what you've accomplished in Duels is saved on XBL. That being said, if your banned you can't login. Not being able to log in means that as far as the game is concerned, you've unlocked nothing. Gay.

Octobot

Jam has handed the reigns of the tourney over to me. Can everyone who is in the tourney shoot me a private message just to confirm you are still interested and willing to finish. Ill also send out a message on xbox just to make sure everyone is still good to go (and if not ill get some subs in where needed). And then ill get some match assignments out and we can get some more results in (and as always if you are on with someone else and have time for yo matches go ahead and do them and just post the results)

BlueBlue

Haha, perhaps in the end I will sub in for a second time under a different deck.

Octobot

Ok putting the call out for a replacement, we need someone to take the white deck so we can continue with the tournament.

That's fucking awesome, your play on words here. When my elite went down, I cried for three days. That's how long it took me to figure out what was wrong and fix it.

troublebrewing

I'd like to play the white deck!

Octobot

perfect its yours! ok now that we have all the slots filled again and with the weekend coming up i want to encourage everyone to at least get one complete set of matches in (more would be better) Kraterface and I are going to run a proper tournament but we will wait till this battle of the decks is done before starting it up.

troublebrewing

so I need to arrange a match with blueblue am i right?

Jam Warrior

I have a whole Saturday of lounging ahead of me so I'll be watching out for you guys on Live.

Shoot me a PM even if I'm not on live and if I'm around I'll jump on.

toolbert

I'll be home later tonight (after 5 PST) and will be around most of Saturday. PM me and we can play some matches.

Octobot

Well i lost 2 matches to 1 against Jam Warrior and the blue deck. the last game was a close one too, but there just wasnt much i could do against his phantom warrior, and the cancelling of all my decent spells. Good games though!

troublebrewing

I think I've friended just about everybody. If anyone hasn't recieved an invite from me please feel free to drop me one as I'm able to play most nights. I probably won't have a headset on for voice but that shouldn't be a problem.

That being said will any developer ever figure out something to discourage people from dropping? It's a real drag to put 30 minutes into a 4-way match just to have people drop out before the game is even over. If your net connection is so shitty that it's going to affect your rank if you get a loss when you bail then it should be the players responsibility to figure out their connectivity issues. I'm just so sick of people dropping and this isn't the only game that it is rampant in.

They did. It's called "only play with fellow forumers"

Octobot

ok the weekend has come and gone and only one match was played! (that i know of) so to formalize things here are the matches i would like to have results for before saturday:

Jam Warrior VS Truck-a-saurus
Moridin889 VS Octobot
Toolbert VS Cullen
Troublebrewing VS Kraterface

Moridin889

Wednesday and Thursday I am free all day. Just send me a message Octobot.

truck-a-sauras

don't know if Jam and I will get our game in this week. time difference from UK to USA is a pain and both of us have days where we won't even be near the xbox. missed him by like 40 minutes last night (my fault there) In order to catch him I'd have to get on the moment I'm home from work which is tough. doing some house hunting this week and next. He is out for the weekend....think he is getting married? well congrats on whatever you are up to this weekend Jam.

anybody else here think we can get a game in? I'm usually on around 8 - 12 EST or so.

Octobot

i am usually on after 11pm EST (also on during the day till about 3:30pm) ill keep an eye out for you so we can get our matches done.

Octobot

played my match against Truck and the black deck, ended up 2 to 1 in my favour. I still think i mostly win due to lucky draws (or unlucky ones for my opponents). Hopefully there will be some other matches reported soon!

troublebrewing

I don't think I've seen anybody but octobot on so I haven't been able to get a game.

Octobot

ill catch my game with you next time i see you on. same with Cullen and Moridin, then ill be all done
