Once the following matches have been played, we will input the results into the Tanuki Tournament Bracket on the forum utility and conduct the rest of the tournament in the automated bracket itself:
A) phonicsmonkey v Andres
D) issaikhaan v Monk
Loser of A v Loser of D
Sorry, misread the results post. You are correct, it's Andres v 'khaan that needs to be fought so that I can put the rest on the bracket.
Haha, yeah that's right. There's no escape from what coming for you TinCow. If you listen real close, you can hear it. The rumble on the ground and the screaming in the air. Can ya hear it? The pain train's a-coming, TC and you're laying right on the tracks.
Excellent commentary TC. I was laughing my butt off.Quote:

Ha, I gave you an extra day to live as you started blubbering about feeding babies!
No, I threatened to feed your babies....to Tincow! I knew you weren't listening...
Ah, that would indeed make more sense. Difficult to follow your high-pitched, girly wailing though.
Mmm... babies.Quote:

Ladies, stop your endless yakking. Your talk is like your weapons - dull. :laugh4:

Tincow has a voice!? How unexpected. :inquisitive:
A firework display. Humph. I have seen better ones - no pretty coloured lights, and timing explosions to music has been standard here for a decade - but I suppose it was a passable effort and one should not expect too much from you ... people. :froggy fans herself and waits for the next act to arrive:
You may upload more videos in order to save me the onerous chore of watching them in-game. Load times are a waste of my precious time; someone else should endure them for me.
Out of curiosity, how would we go about recording/uploading commentary if we wanted to do so?
I would know this, but I spent all of my time, uh, practicing. Yeah, that's it.
A great video, TinCow - excellent.Quote:

I sent the cowardly coward 'khaan one entire pm, yet he apparently refuses to answer. Probably because he is a cowardly coward who is also a coward.
I will meet 'khaan on the battlefield probably Wednesday or Thursday evening.
He admitted he is a coward and he begged me to bribe him and to play only loser loses games, which I refused, of course. Apparently, the weakling feeds his peasants every week. Bah. I've told my peasants that the strong should start eating the weak, so that only über elite peasants will appear on the battlefield on my side.
I wish my opponent no luck at all, a failing internet connection for the entire week so that he has to give forfait and a very painful headache which causes his eyes to hurt so that he hardly sees his screen when fighting me. I also wish myself good luck and many heroic victories.
After 3 battles of wonderful ineptitude, truly fulfilling the tournament spirit of "no skills, no rules, no honour", including a long discussion about how we couldn't move our cannons in a cannon fight and a fair bit of underhand cheating on my part, I have silenced the monkey's mewing 2-1. Who's next? :boxing:
Here are the replays so everyone can see how you disgraced the org by bringing ninja to a rocket fight! The smuggled illicit ninja won the first fight for therother.
Then in the second battle (which was to be cannons and cavalry) we realised quickly that cannon cannot be moved. Luckily I brought more horses to that fight which won the day for me. My smuggled illicit ninja didn't get in on the action...
In the third deciding fight, a naval battle, my admiral was perplexed at how ineffective his strategy of sailing upwind into direct cannon fire turned out to be...
This is not the end for the monkey - I will retreat to my cave, make sacrifices to my dark gods and sharpen my monkey hammer in preparation for my inevitable glory against Generalhankerchief...
No illicit ninjas in the naval battle? Disappointing. :no:
You mean you didn't see them on the island?
That would be me!:viking:The reign of terror of Tech admins will stop here and now! Like beacons off light i and the mighty Monk, shall cast you back to the darkness that is the boiler rooms under the Camel Stables! No more shall VB code pollute the air filled with sweet scent of Org´s toilets! As superior beings we are.We CONTENT MANAGER´S will contain the evil that has taken the form of terotherotherrr and Cow tinhead who hides behind glasssess after too much single malt!

What to you think TinCow? Should we let him off?
Nice pic btw.
Only place you can off me is the battlefield! I read from the innerds of Greg that fall of tech admins is near! There is no stopping me anymore!:gorgeous:
He looks rather fetching in pink. Matches his eyes.Quote:

Do not worry.The tech admins will be soon enslaved. Chained down to the boiler room where they belong.:pleased:Quote:

You are just making it worse for yourself.Once ive crushed your puny tech borg armies. This time you will only get diet Coke once a year in your "work place". Your reign of terror is about to end.Enjoy it while it last´s.:sunny:

That's some very specific imagery there Andrex. I'm guessing these are your experiences you are projecting onto me? :grin2:
Naturally, I only restyled Kage's profile because he was bored with it and thought it needed sprucing up to reflect his more creative, feminine side. Sure enough, Kage seems delighted by the results. I think you are just jealous. :laugh4:
:croc:
Allright, allright! I have dressed back my cowl and donned into my armour. Atleast now you can all appreciate what beautifull flower i am inside all this gear!
After two epic slaughters armies of Kage and therother camped for the night with one defeat suffered by both sides. Tomorrow morning the the epic third battle will commense once both sides are sober enough to fight! Attached the two replays.First one was classic with 14k where we slaughtered our armies almost to a man. Still therother´s Takeda was clearly the better one. The second was all melee. In that one Kage reigned supreme, while therother gave up after some serious slaughter.
Go Kage!
You need to post an updated bracket. How else is a frog meant tochoose a winnersee who is still eligible to be her champion?
I believe we are waiting for Andres vs khaaaaaaaaaaan before TC can load the bracketQuote:

And who stole the animated princess smiley? I demand to know! It had a fluttering veil and I haven't used it in years, now it's gone. The current, not animated version is ugly. Honestly, here I am doing my best to graciously preside over your little battlefield nonsense and you keep on making things difficult. A less dedicated soul would give up.
Why should I help you, you're not even rooting for me! My fans will receive all the blessing the Gods can provide in this mortal realm, but my critics will be forced to drink their own blood until they drown! I am not cruel, though, if anyone prefers I will permit the drowning to be done with chocolate milk instead.Quote:

"Froggy, you'll be treated like a princess," you said. "Everyone will fight in your honour," you said. "It will be fun," you said. "You can sit in the big fancy VIP only box," you said. "You'll have the best view and lots of tasty snacks and cool drinks provided by waiters," you said. "There will even be a big pile of books for you to read in the dull moments," you said. "You will be the grand lady of the org," you said. "You'll bring a sense of chivalric magic to the entire event," you said. Lies - nothing but lies! Here I am, stuck in a box with no books, no food, no company, arranging for handkerchiefs to wave and being oh so very gracious in the face of terrible strain. And I had to buy my own kimono!
Next time I don my armour and kill you all until you are dead. :blankg:
Greetings Froggy,
Did you, by any chance, slightly misinterpret the time (by a few hundred years) and location (by a few thousand miles)?Quote:
....arrange more ladies to sit in the fancy big box and wave handkerchiefs....
Here, let me take away your handkercief and present you this fan.
I do compliment you on your new kimono, though. An excellent piece of silk art.
While we wait for the next match to happen, allow me, in the absence of books (what are books?), to entertain you with my skills in calligraphy.
:stupido:
Aaaarghhh! Terrible trashing happened and my armies lie dead after night battle with terotero. From now on you can call me The .......... of therother.He will provide with replay as even my field photographers were slayed.:stwshame:
Truly, this Tech Admin virus must be stopped. Does the rest of the noble .Org staff not have a champion that can save all of us from their round-the-clock bragging?
We played two battles: the first was aborted due to extreme lag. Both battles were gunpowder only, although of course ninjae were allowed! :7ninja:
Mushy's cannons and firerockets fought bravely, but were overrun by my samurai matchlock spam. In the meantime, there was a fun ninja battle in the 2nd replay.
Replays: Attachment 1331
Don't be time-period-ist, this is a multi-period forum. I'm wearing a Japanese kimono, the box is medieval, and the books should be Roman and Greek translations - if they'd been delivered, which they have not. The peanut cannon covers the gunpowder era.Quote:

The essential sustenance of a frog! A single day without access to a book will leave a frog demoralised, worn down, wilted, and depressed. Two days and symptoms expand to include restlessness, mental anxiety, and a feeling of deep soul-based hunger. Three days and ... well, most tragic. A correct amphibian living environment includes copious bookshelves, all well stocked.Quote:

I have decided that my greatness is too great for this tournament. Indeed, since you are all unworthy of even being my enemies, I have, complelety, voluntarily and of course on purpose lost from 'khaans' cowardly tactics 2-0...
You can have my head as apology for this great insolence, if someone can find it from the field. Its bloody dark there still. Maybe terotero can give it to you next morning?:undecided:Quote:

It is now official, every single Moderator and Content Manager has lost. The only undefeated players remaining are Tech Admins. ALL GLORY TO THE TECH ADMINS!
Yeah you got me, but I take solace in the knowledge that the generals who led your forces DIED HORRIBLE TERRIBLE DEATHS.
Ahem.
:book2:
Legend has it that when the tech admins meet each other in the next match their great dishonour will bring so much shame upon the world that the heavens themselves will rebel and slay both of them.Quote:

Replays
ANDRES!!! You and I are the first two eliminated from this tournament. If you are man enough, I hereby challenge you to a last-place match here and now or whenever is a convenient time for both of us!!! Let the winner regain some of his shattered honor, and let the loser forever be known as the single worst player of Total War: Shogun 2 on the entire staff. That is, if you're not a big fat chicken. :charge:
The guards outside Gregoshi's headquarters scrunched their noses as the smell of urine wafted out the doorway. "Again?!", they thought, "His Lordship must have gotten news of an impending battle." Everytime Lord Gregoshi received news of the enemy approaching within 100 miles, he and his "retainers" (they retained very little) would wet themselves...which was actually preferable to their response when in battle. The guards hated being posted to the headquarters because of this. "Latrine duty" is what they called it in the barracks. In fact, they also took to referring to the latrine as the "head", which was short for "headquarters". This is the little known origin of the military term. "Changing of the guards" as also originates from Gregoshi, referring to the guards helping to change Gregoshi's soiled armour.
Battle was indeed impending. June 20th at 18:00 GMT Lord Sissykhaan and Lord Greg-GoGo-goshi will meet on the battlefield. It will be a messy affair and Gregoshi fully expects to commit seppoopoo. Stand upwind and plug your noses so you only have to see how badly we stink at this...and when I say "we", I mean "I".
