Just watched that vid. That's cool of you to do, lava. I'd like to do that for the Final even if neither of us makes it there.

Just beat lavalarva 246 - 235. The rubber match will decide who goes on to face Klim!

If I don't make it, tell me when you play and let me spectate, I'll be able to record then.

EDIT : Here's a video.

Not exactly a well played game for either side, as we both made quite big mistakes, but an interesting game nonetheless.

lava beat me in Game 1 of the Loser's Bracket Final 181-113. It was a blowout, but it was a much better match than the score indicates.

God damn pasture wars...

Yeah, I didn't manage to completely block a giant city and Klim still had one tile to finish it and score a lot of points. It was nerve-wracking.

The most awesome part of this game is that I won though :O

Here's the video. YouTube is giving me BS "Video still processing" for over 2 hours recently but it may work for you.

And lavalarva has eliminated me, winning Game 2 188-178. Very good game, man.

And we're down to the Final!

#2 Not Sure vs #3 lavalarva. Best of 3, lava has to win two Best of 3 series to win.

Good luck, guys.

Either I was very unlucky, or NS is much, much better than me at this game. He gets all the cities while I struggle to do anything.

Meh, either way when I started this I just hoped making the top 8 :O
Still disappointing though Sad

And, that's a wrap!

Congratulations to Not Sure for winning a very tough tournament. You crushed your competition in the tournament. Here is your trophy.

Awesome job, lavalarva. Finishing second while never playing the game before is impressive. Here is your trophy.

I added a bronze one to my avatar because I'm super proud of it.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated. I hope you had fun; I definitely did. If you ever want to play a game just stop in the IRC and ask and there will likely be someone around who will play.

If we got some more interest, I'd be up to run another one. I had fun with this one. I'd want at least eight people, and I would make it the same set up, with Top 6 making the tourney or something.

We should have another chess one or maybe a different game!

I would do chess, too. Maybe I'll start an exploratory committee to check on the prospects on the next gaming campaign, er, competition.

But chess is boring ;P
