Oh man, I'm actually much more interested in casting than playing. If there's too much interest feel free to bump me.

there's no real way to do 12 that isn't awkward af.

Post Post #23 (isolation #3) » Mon Jun 06, 2016 10:04 am

Swiss with less than 8 leads to awkward tie break situations.

Also, i need to find a third standard deck that's sufficiently weird.

I like the idea bro put forward minus the draws. I think draws are the worst part of competitive magic.

Post Post #32 (isolation #5) » Mon Jun 06, 2016 10:45 am

Yeah either way ending up with 8 after some sort of whittling down and then going single elimination from there is ideal. Actually just getting to 16 and going double elim is ideal but it looks like we're not going to get there.

are we not submitting our classes or what?

Post Post #54 (isolation #9) » Wed Jun 08, 2016 8:52 am

No, increasing the number of decks that you have to have is not fair to people who signed up thinking they would only need 3.

Especially people with not huge collections.

Post Post #58 (isolation #10) » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:01 am

Oh we're on whole decklists? Interesting.

Post Post #60 (isolation #11) » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:10 am

you didn't ask for names on your forms.

Post Post #61 (isolation #12) » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:10 am

the one you just got was from me.

Post Post #63 (isolation #13) » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:26 am

its more like reck is asking you to trust him to not look at your decklists instead of asking you to trust everyone to not change their decklists between rounds.

I was willing to just trust everyone, so I don't know why I wouldn't trust reck.

Also if you put your decklists in the form of screen caps like I did there's less chance he'll see something accidentally.

People are friends, they observe their friends matches. Last tournament I ruled that this wasn't against the rules since the point of the tournament is to have fun and observing matches is one of the most fun parts.

Reck, names on forms.

Implosion I can play tonight after like midnight central or any time tomorrow. Lmk.

Post Post #75 (isolation #16) » Thu Jun 09, 2016 9:59 am

TSQ-Implosion match going down in about 10 minutes.

Post Post #78 (isolation #17) » Thu Jun 09, 2016 11:13 am

lol. One time my yogg immediately killed itself and 12'd me.

The other time it decided that it actually wanted to be a sheep.

Post Post #79 (isolation #18) » Thu Jun 09, 2016 11:16 am

Also I missed lethal in the last game. Not even a hard lethal. Like...a "Dagger up and attack to deal the last point" lethal.

lolz.

Post Post #85 (isolation #19) » Fri Jun 10, 2016 12:25 pm

Shanba did a video with commentary of me and implosions match (starting midway through game 2) Complete with me missing lethal for no reason in the last game and not getting even a little bit punished for my hubris.

please2enjoy

audio quality is a little shitty at the beginning but gets better as the video goes on.

I quite liked the 'i never wanted to be an old god. What I wanted to be was a sheep.'

Post Post #96 (isolation #21) » Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:19 am

Do you guys mind if I cast your match?

Post Post #98 (isolation #22) » Sun Jun 12, 2016 2:00 am

alright, I'll try to be on battle net. Ping me. I think I have you both as friends but I'll add if I don't.

Really looking forward to it. I'm curious what it looked like from the perspective of someone who wasn't playing. I'm sure I played some things wrong in the last game, but I need to watch it back to try to figure them out.

It was hard for me to talk about your lines too much because I didn't know what was in your hand.

"Come on Cow, that's a terrible card" is a thing I said once.

I think I was maybe a little too harsh on some of the bulges card choices. But I was just like what even is he playing some of the time haha.

Post Post #112 (isolation #25) » Sun Jun 12, 2016 4:42 pm

I did too. I commented on it. Also, I've been trying to get the video into an acceptable format for uploading all day.

quicktime made a 5 gig video which is just like lol why quicktime why.

Finally got it to work.

Post Post #116 (isolation #28) » Sun Jun 12, 2016 6:32 pm

oh cool. Will try that out for next time.

Post Post #118 (isolation #29) » Sun Jun 12, 2016 7:21 pm

I suspect we'll get that when reck gets done with survivor meet.

Post Post #124 (isolation #30) » Mon Jun 13, 2016 5:46 am

good feedback. I think a lot of the issue is that I literally never play priest, so I'm not used to getting cards back from entomb, its not something I'm used to thinking about.

Post Post #128 (isolation #31) » Mon Jun 13, 2016 12:36 pm

I don't think its unfair criticism. I think I was much more lost that last game than I was the other 3 though.

Post Post #148 (isolation #32) » Tue Jun 14, 2016 6:30 pm

can we get a full list of players and classes pls?

Post Post #151 (isolation #33) » Tue Jun 14, 2016 7:45 pm

Also, since we're double elim how are you going to deal with the dropped player next round? Just a losers bracket player gets a bye?

Post Post #159 (isolation #34) » Wed Jun 15, 2016 3:20 pm

List of classes or...?

Post Post #177 (isolation #35) » Sat Jun 18, 2016 9:05 am

so um. list of classes?

Post Post #185 (isolation #36) » Sat Jun 18, 2016 3:30 pm

if reck can't play, theres a guy in the area who probably has access to his HS account. Hit him up.

Post Post #200 (isolation #37) » Sun Jun 19, 2016 12:14 pm

is sudo around? I need to play him before my life goes crazy.

Post Post #203 (isolation #38) » Sun Jun 19, 2016 4:32 pm

I heard the winner of this tournament gets to be a new GD mod.

Post Post #205 (isolation #39) » Sun Jun 19, 2016 5:21 pm

Post Post #206 (isolation #40) » Sun Jun 19, 2016 6:27 pm

Don't play hearthstone tournaments when you're 4 gin and tonics deep.

Also TBM played very well.
