Again, congratulations to all the Qsc13 participants and good luck on all the current and future GOTM and QSC events.

Great work compiling all this! *Busy downloading saves*

I just hope that "TBD" status isn't permanent. :(

Thanks to Cracker and everyone involved for a job well done!:goodjob: I'm sure you spent countless hours to create that result page. The details were stunning! You even have time to include a comparison chart at the bottom too. I'm just too impress to talk much at the moment.

High priestess?:eek:

Last time I checked Pyzillazuma should be a High Priest:lol:

Good summaries. I see I have a lot of improvement to do in my opening

Baritone Voice the Clouds: A sex change operation has been performed on your behalf. It was the Aztec ceremonial garb that confused the scribes. ;)

Hi cracker,

Thanks for the qsc initiative. It helped me to slow down and think more during the initial stage of the game. I won't be able to finish most of the GOTM due to time constrains, but comparing my initial moves with some other players will definitely help me to improve my game.

Ronald

Well, what to say.
I just found the time to give a look at the QSC results, threads and timelines...

I am impressed. I regret not submitting earlier... I definitely will in the coming events!

In the meanwhile, congratulations to all the Quick Starters, and especially to Ronald and Col who earn honours both in the Tournament and in the GOTM... :goodjob: !
