[Zack]

Zack vs. El Barto
Jolt vs. seireikhaan
Al Sipsclar vs. Winston Hughes
atheotes vs. Visorslash
edse vs. Myrddraal
Sigurd vs. Csargo

5 gold on each, and 30 gold on Jolt.

[atheotes]

In the end, atheotes opts for caution, starting with Rock, fully expecting things to go to the rethrow.

[El Barto]

See, Zack? That's why it was a gamble to eternally throw paper to seireikhaan's rocks.

[Zack]

hello?

[seireikhaan]

hello?

Hello, Zack.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Waiting on @Jolt and @Sigurd, I just assumed weekend inactivity as per the previous two weeks.

[Zack]

I think we all know what orders Jolt will send in lol

[GeneralHankerchief]

Okay, if I don't get a response from Sigurd within 24 hours or so, I'll have him forfeit the individual match and we'll keep moving.

[GeneralHankerchief]

All orders received, I'll have the results up at some point tonight US time.

Day 11 results

Sorry for the poor quality on my end, busy day. I'm declaring this to be my one mulligan in terms of writeups.

BSmith on bye this round.

"Rock... paper... scissors... shoot!"

Zack vs. El Barto: First throw is Rock for both. Second throw is also Rock for both.
Zack and El Barto draw

Jolt vs. seireikhaan: Jolt pulls the atheotes strategy of starting off with Rock to see what khaan does. Looks like he's back to form with Rock. Satisfied, Jolt switches to Paper which works because khaan throws Rock again.
Jolt defeats seireikhaan

Al Sipsclar vs. Winston Hughes: Winston won't overtake atheotes for first place today. He and Al Sips both throw Rock and then Paper. They both maintain their positions for the time being.
Al Sipsclar and Winston Hughes draw

atheotes vs. Visorslash: This one could be a playoff preview. atheotes caps a fine round robin and clinches himself a first round bye thanks to his throw of Paper, defeating Visor's Rock.
atheotes defeats Visorslash

edse vs. Myrddraal: First throw is Scissors for each. edse then keeps his hopes of avoiding the #13 seed alive by switching to Rock while Myrddraal remains at Scissors. Should it come down to it edse now has the tiebreaker over Myrd. Much is still in doubt.
edse defeats Myrddraal

Sigurd vs. Csargo: With edse's win, the pressure is on for Sigurd to get out of danger here. He doesn't. His Paper gets cut by Csargo's Scissors on the first throw.
Csargo defeats Sigurd

Standings through Day 11:

*atheotes: 8
Winston Hughes: 6.5
Zack: 6
Jolt: 6
Csargo: 6
Visorslash: 5.5
Al Sipsclar: 5.5
Myrddraal: 4
seireikhaan: 4
Sigurd: 4
El Barto: 4
BSmith: 3.5
*edse: 3

* - still to go on bye

With wins over Jolt and Csargo, atheotes has clinched a first-round bye. In terms of avoiding the #13 seed this round has provided no clarity as edse won and nobody else was able to reach the threshold of 4.5 points. El Barto has the tiebreaker over edse, edse has the tiebreaker over Myrddraal, and any other tiebreaking combination involving edse is either yet to be determined or will come down to sudden death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is now Day 12!

Day 12 matchups:

Zack vs. Myrddraal
Visorslash vs. Csargo
Winston Hughes vs. Sigurd
seireikhaan vs. edse
El Barto vs. Al Sipsclar
BSmith vs. Jolt
atheotes (bye)

Day 11 results - betting

Well, nobody went bust this round. Of the people who placed bets, Winston Hughes had the best day going +20 overall - a result of his correct wager on Jolt over khaan (his other bet ended in a draw and was thus refunded). Zack had the biggest wager on Jolt over khaan, but a lot of his other wagers went the other way and he only ended up +15 for the day. Barto went two-for-two, but placed comparatively smaller bets and is +10.

Bettors:
atheotes - 160
Winston Hughes - 130
Zack - 120
Al Sipsclar - 102
Csargo - 100
edse - 98
El Barto - 95
Myrddraal - 85
BSmith - 20
seireikhaan - BUSTED

I'm still laughing at khaan betting all his money and still throwing rock.

[seireikhaan]

Look, just, just, gimme some gold, I'll make it back and more I swears.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Maybe once the knockout round starts. Maybe.

[Visor]

Don't fuel his addiction

[GeneralHankerchief]

Don't fuel his addiction

Yeah, but it's amusing.

[Csargo]

I'll loan khaan 50 gold.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Done.

[Winston Hughes]

I'll loan khaan 50 gold.

You're not even putting conditions on this?

In that case, can I borrow 50 as well?

[Csargo]

You're not even putting conditions on this?

In that case, can I borrow 50 as well?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Waiting on @Myrddraal, @Sigurd, and @Jolt.

We've slowed down a bit lately, hopefully it'll pick back up once the knockout round starts.

[GeneralHankerchief]

While we wait (down to Myrddraal and Sigurd now), here's a timely article that might help in future rounds.

[El Barto]

I be int'rest'd in knowin' what terms be offered fer loans aroun' here. Wha' would seireikhaan be payin'?

[GeneralHankerchief]

~24 hour deadline is now in effect for Sigurd and Myrddraal. If I don't receive orders by around this time tomorrow they forfeit their respective Day 12 matches.

[Zack]

24 is such a big number. They should just forfeit their matches now.

[atheotes]

24 is such a big number. They should just forfeit their matches now.

[El Barto]

Anyone want ta take me bets? They's in good terms.
