kamoh

I'll be on most of the day tomorrow - I'll play hordes of you guys then if you'd like.

It wouldn't be very fair, but meh. Play if you'd like to, and I'm sure that matches outside of your schedule will be taken into consideration - especially if used as bypasses. Linkspast, are you sure you can't contact any of those people? Noodle is often on, and the-almighty-tallest has already played a match...and Xerol should probably play DarkCecil, although I'd really like to get in on some of that extra action tomorrow (linkspast too probably).

linkspast: in order... noodle, psychotic ninja, the-almighty-tallest. After that, you report. I think that mew will have to decide on punishment though.

It's cause I AM SINGLEHANDEDLY BEATING YOU edit: that's not true, the "f" in "glhf 134340" uses my left hand, but playing and everything is done with the right!

overclocked remix MOVES tournament 3 The Final Standings are as follows: 1st - kamoh (9-0) 2nd - Darkesword (4-7) 3rd - Rainman DX (4-5) 4th - Hemophiliac (4-6) 5th - John Derrilll (1-1) 6th - Arek the Absolute (0-3)

Kholdstare ended up giving up points in the dangerous direction, but I'm very pleased that Grayfox and Keegan ended up with those victories. Just gotta try and beat the Rusty Buckets though...

EVERYONE Last Day for First Round Matches is THIS FRIDAY 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time, which means that you only have a few days left. If you are having troubles playing your opponents, then contact myself (kamoh) or Mewtation - Mew has final say but i'm sure that we'll discuss several things. This is known as 'reporting' in the chess league, but will likely be done a different way here (maybe not, who knows). I think ultimately you're going to see some people credited with unplayed losses to bolster their tiebreakers, and some people will simply be eliminated from the competition. Your best bet is to play a bypass (see above, contact me for assignments if you're confused), and keep searching for your opponents.

yeah, talk about instant trial-by-fire for him. But I expected it - I think because his AIM sn had chess in it and everything I kinda lofted him at high expectations. He probably considers this a major challenge (I hope) and we'll see more out of him in the future. In other news, The Rusty Buckets are dynastic. I may dock them their bye points.

Just a quick vote here: Would you guys like to do this tournament for a second week, next week? We'd go Tuesday 6th to Tuesday 13th (no games on V-day for those of us lucky enough).

should have done pool play...

Lateness! Salaxzar wins by 1 point.

Margoute, if you and Keegan play tonight, he can get the league title for January. He's actually reported you but he was A) beyond the semi-arbitrary deadline, and You've been online way too much.

You should play vs. Noodle instead. If Noodle doesn't show up, next is ProjectSpam, then PsychoNinja, then the-almighty-tallest. (Yes, if these people AREN'T playing then I have no qualms omitting them and giving you valid matches against other people who ARE playing). XEROL: Bren.

You were supposed to pick up an extra point :'(

Yeah but I didn't do that. You can thank your team captains for somehow putting themselves in the 1, 2, and 3 slots (I put myself 1 because I figured the weakest player might be 14...which was true). This is purely coincidental to a certain degree - the entire schedule is made simple but can be horribly complex - later tonight I will undoubtedly be breaking down my team's matchups and seeing where we need points if we're not gonna get them, and try to give reachable goals to all my players. For example, my goal is 10 points (3-0-1).

dPaladin: yes.

Some keys: Teammates may not watch your game, but they may coach you from AIM or something. For this reason, use 10/10 clocks in order to cut down on the impact of teammate coaching. Undo Turn is STILL not allowed. Reports are always going to be a +1/-1 swing. The divide is the same as a win vs. a loss, but the team not involved ends up in the middle. No bypasses. The Rusty Buckets, for playing four less games, are given four "bye" points to offset the advantage of playing more games. If you have problems, you should try and petition your captain for advice - but I'm usually the best source as well. Captains are marked with a © in the standings above. The Rusty Bucket is a Tavern in Columbus, where JD lives. The Nordic Wegie is a cutesy term for the breed of two of my cats. The Married Woman is what Margo is. Margo is still looking for a team name Start playing now, and the last moment for games will be MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH @ 11:59 PM (pacific time). Super Bowl Sunday should never be the end of an OCRCL week.

It IS just three this go-around. I just mentioned the two of you because I thought you had shown interest.

Looks like maybe. It'll be up to the team captains to decide whether to draft though.Deadline passed, we have three players. Anyone else up for captaincy? Uranus and JD are currently my guys, Rainman or damathacus, would you like to captain?

We've also got an issue with LongeBane not following through on playing matches. He may yet, but Mew and I played a replacement (a.k.a. bypass) match that is shown on the standings. If Psycho Ninja doesn't show up, then his games should be replaced by the following: the-almighty-tallest vs. noodle vega12 vs. project spam

I updated the standings to reflect my match with Taucer, as well as giving replacement games to FiremanJoe's players (me vs. Fire, Taucer vs. DarkCecil).

Shame on you for no posting!
