Just one game left now folks -- will Something_Smart win it all, or can VashtaNeurotic make this a 3-way tie? Stay tuned to find out!

It would only be a 2-way tie, right? Vash only has 3 points, I think.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

Yeah, I lost the matches against Gypyx and Umlaut so I can only force a 2 way tie with a win.

VashtaNeurotic vs. Datisi is listed twice, in "Completed games" and then again in "Cancelled games". Looks like the point was double-counted for that game, so he should actually have been at 3 points and not 4, as both Vashta and S_S said above.




Since it's been over a week now, I'll go ahead and point out that S_S has beaten Vashta in their game, which ends the tournament. Something_Smart is of course the winner, having swept 6-0! Congratulations, S_S!

I'm in second place with a score of 5-1, having lost only to S_S. It was a great game! All the games I got to play to the end were pretty great. Thanks, everyone.

And third place is a three-way tie between everyone who played out their games. VashtaNeurotic, Gypyx, and Mist7676 all scored 3-3. Normally this would mean we go to tiebreak criteria... but in this case the situation is completely symmetrical!
  • All three won by forfeit against bugspray and Datisi.
  • All three lost against me and S_S.
  • Gypyx beat Vashta, Vashta beat Mist, and Mist beat Gypyx.
There is no gameplay-relevant criterion to distinguish these, so the tie stands! Our three third-place winners will have to be content with 1/3 of nothing as their prize, whereas our first- and second-place winners each get the whole nothing to themselves.

Thanks, everyone, for playing with me, and thanks again to Menalque for running this so I could participate!

Sorry y'all for the delay on this -- life got particularly busy and it kept slipping my mind until today. Umlaut has already done a lovely job of summing up, which would make my doing the same somewhat redundant. Congratulations to S_S for winning, to Umlaut for a close second place, and to those in the three-way tie for third place, Gypyx, Mist7676, and VashtaNeurotic.

Thank you everybody for playing and I hope you all enjoyed!
