Second Somnium Tournament

[Diamondeye]

That helps a lot, thanks

Anyway; This game is moving slowly... I'm willing to scrimmage in the meantime if anyone's up for it

 

[civplayah]

This is moving slowly. Come on, get your games in!

 

[Diamondeye]

This game is getting intenste, though. It's going to be a close race!
With 17 cards left, we haven't had Death yet, and there are 4(!) Pentacles in there still..!
Oh and there's only 1 pt. between us

 

[civplayah]

Wow.

Come on, even though DE and ExMachina are still working on round one, Az and landlubber can still play (please do).

 

[civplayah]

Come on, tournament, don't die on me now!!!

 

[Diamondeye]

civplayah; I am a huge supporter of this tournament and you have my promise that I'll be there for any second installment that doesn't land directly in my summer holiday / exam like this one does.

So even if it looks like this one stalls, don't give up on the idea =)

 

[NotSoGood]

Okay, so who will play against who? Could you update the first post so it would be easier to follow?

 

[civplayah]

Oh, sure. Wait, who won between DE and ExMachina?

 

[Diamondeye]

We're not done yet, but if I may say so it looks like I'll win. I'm 7 ahead with 11 cards to go, all fools have been and gone and Ex Machina has two bare slots, one of which is a depleted suit.

But let's play it out

 

[ExMachina]

Yeah, I had two really bad turns in a row.

If DiamondEye agrees, I wouldn't mind having our match be single elimination. It's taking forever just to finish our first game, I don't want to stall the tournament to play another 1 or 2 games like this.

 

[Diamondeye]

I have no problem stopping after this round, but ExMachina will be the one to advance no matter the outcome of the game, because this first round has taken too long; I can't play another round this long due to summer holiday trips.

By the way, this game's really intense. I'm still leading by 7, but I just hit the second-to-last suit with more than one card in (two Towers in a row). That means the only suit with more than one card left is also the suit that ExMachina has no cards of yet (Swords).

Even better; He can't win without a Sword, and he can't win only with a Sword. If he draws two Swords, he loses.

that's against the odds, though. My bet's on ExMachina after my unluck with the Towers >_<

 

[ExMachina]

I believe I have won.

 

[Diamondeye]

I believe I have won.

That's true. Those last 5 cards were awesome to behold. I embrace my defeat.

[civplayah]

Wow. What a comeback!

Everyone else, get to work, we're losing activity!

 

[NotSoGood]

Ahh, draw the last card and it was fool. I lost...
But good game.

 

[ExMachina]

Ahh, draw the last card and it was fool. I lost...
But good game.

I think I had a lucky advantage, the computer gave me the first turn of every game. They were fun though.

 

[civplayah]

Sent prods to Azhral and landlubber via PM.
