I'm considering getting it on BlueRay through Amazon very soon.

It might come in handy for this game.

AG, how many times have you seen Top Gun? Are you still mad at Tom Cruise for killing Goose?

I can't understand how some people think it's the #1 gay movie of the 1980's. Maybe they are closet homosexuals and decided to blame it on the film. It's OK to come out people. You can even get married now.

Is Gaspard locked in combat with Bertin de Monsault this round?

Gaspard de Neufville is locked in combat with Alexandre le Sueur. Eloi de Montferrat is locked in combat with Bertin de Montsault and Gontran de Linars. Hugues de Champagne is locked in combat with Alain de Rohan.

We've already completed 4 rounds and not a single person is has even been captured yet. Is the tournament still going to end after 7 rounds, even if only most people are still standing at that point?

If too many people are still left standing after 7 rounds, there will be an extension. I admit, I was surprised that all of the avatars already wounded managed to win their respective fights. Many of these wounded people will almost certainly be "downed" if they take another hit.


Also, sorry for having no writeup, I'll get to it soon. I simply wasn't feel well last night so I decided to put all my energy on giving you the map on time. I hadn't expected that running the tournament on a 24h basis would be so draining.

I'll be gone Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on a family vacation. If Bertin somehow makes it through this round then I ask that he remain stationary and that his stance be determined by random.org

Understood.

[TheFlax]

Since I'm a bit late putting up the tournament results, I'm giving more time than usual for the next round. That will also probably be the case for round 7 as it will be over the weekend. Finally, because its 2 am here and I've spent more than three hours getting everything in order for the tournament, the writeup will have to wait for tomorrow. Apologies.

[AussieGiant]

Good job Flax!!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Running this stuff is tough work. Hang in there, Flax.

I guess I should really get around to seeing Top Gun, huh?

Are you serious GH!!??

You have to see it at least once.

I'm much a much funnier person if you do.

[AussieGiant]

And actually,

As OK has mentioned that my character has a lisp, I'd just like to provide some sound bites as to how the young duke sounds.

Keep in mind he is actually speaking English in the game but "with" a French accent. This will be revealed down the line.

So some entertaining examples of how he sounds.

Not for under 18's.

That's why the 'h' is always missing.

[The Lemongate]

It's quite funny actually. Even moreso if you know someone who speaks English that way and insists on speaking English half the time for whatever cool factor it's supposed to bring... But if you allow me a suggestion, keep the h in any ch situation. The sound is similar in French as the sh of sharing is in English, though if your remove the h the sound would in fact be more akin to a k.

To get specific you are going for [ʃ] over [ʧ] and completely eliminating [h].

Or, for a frenchman, chair sounds like share and house sounds like 'ouse.

Yeah ok... so I did spend the last year studying phonetics...

Oh man, why do I have a feeling now that I'm going to crack up every time you speak in the Council?

[Ignoramus]

AG, for some reason your character's lisping reads to me like a Cockney accent.

Good lord.

I'm glad I posted the links up then. Cockney...

Lemon...mate I need help.

Can you give me some examples in written text so I can write this better. I've been reading about phonetics for the last three weeks and I can't quite work it out.

[OverKnight]

So Inspector Clouseau just pwned Bertie Wooster?

My God what have I done?

You've created a monster that's what you've done.

[Beskar]

Thats embarrassing, no wonder things were weird, I thought I was another character in the Tournament and on the opposite team. No one corrected me though...

[AussieGiant]

Heading to Germany with the girlfriend until Monday evening GMT +1.

I'm handing over Alain to OverKnight until then.

I haven't asked him so if OK can't do it then you can have him attacked by his giant poodle and retire.

[OverKnight]

Will do, I'm assuming you've already given orders for the upcoming round?

[Cecil XIX]

What's wrong AG, Austria not good enough for you anymore?

[deguerra]

Are we bashing Austria or Switzerland?

Either way I'm in

[woad&fangs]

I'm back. Looks like I didn't miss too much while I was away.

[Ramses II CP]

So how are partial captures awarded? Is it simply being next to an opponent when he falls, or is it necessary to have scored a hit?

By being part of the fight that brought him down. Its easier to gang up, but the reward is of course smaller.

[ULC]

Just an FYI TF, I will be at the hospital tomorrow, and depending on what happens, may not get my order in on time, since I am awaiting a response from econ.

Nothing too serious, I hope.

Take good care, YLC

It shouldn't be, but because my symptoms are rather ambiguous, it's hard to tell. I am not concerned however, mostly because prior to going into the hospital several months ago to learn that my liver was acting up (abnormal levels of a type of acid, indicating my liver was literally breaking down), which I quickly recovered from, I've never had any issues.

As to the previously mentioned liver, the cause was unknown, but abnormally high, and without obvious reasons as to why it was high. My primary suspicion was environment (was in a half completed House) or stress (my aunt and I never got along), but the former should have had a toxin as an indicator, and the latter seems farfechted.

[AussieGiant]

Well best of luck YLC.

Back, and by George I've done splendidly!!

OK is still in charge, I'll just make some ridiculous commentary on the side. I don't want to ruin the good luck.

As much as I hate to spam old friends, you guys HAVE to join Capo de Tutti Capi III. We need two more players and the waiting is driving me crazy. I promise it's an experience you'll never forget.
