All part of the plan.

So, do you want to lose to win or win to lose?

It doesn't matter. I AM THE .ORG STAFF CHAMPION AND THE REST OF YOU ARE ALL MAGGOTS!

[Gregoshi]

"Champion of All Maggotry" doesn't sound like a very impressive title.

Yes.

[AggonyKing]

so who won? <_<

[TinCow]

Wait... wait... what is this? A game has actually been played! Two of them, actually, and The Magnificent TinCow won both. The first was a siege battle where TinCow was attacking and therother was defending. therother was largely humiliated by my supreme abilities to screw up his pathfinding. I rock, unfortunately we both forgot to save that replay, so you will have to use your imagination to witness my glory. therother did not want to do another siege battle, so battle 2 was instead a good old fashioned field battle. therother most treacherously took the Hattori and used them to vaporize my archers with his hidden units when I wasn't paying any attention. Fortunately, it didn't matter and I crush him anyway like the bug he is. Here is the replay of my stupendous victory.

I look forward to defeating The Slightly Less Magnificent therother a second time, after he thrashes the non-Tech Admin staff.

I declare myself the winner of this tournament!

I am the greatest!

[AggonyKing]

hmm you can be the official winner...if you catch my hint *cough* deliver the money bag *cough* >_>

[TinCow]

Hmm... it does appear as though the only appropriate thing to do is make everyone else forfeit and declare myself the winner.

[Gregoshi]

Multiple claims to the title...such a dilemma. Hey, why don't we hold a tournament to decide the winner?

[therother]

Great idea!

Now why didn't you mention that before?!

[Nigel]

Or you could just do it like they did in the Middle Ages and live with the chism for a few hundred years, having a winner in Rome and an antiwinner in Avignon.

That's fine with me. I can be both winner and antiwinner at the same time. I am that awesome.

[Andres]

Me too! So we're both awesome, but because I come before you in the alphabet, I'm the most awesomest of awesome awesome champions and thing.

[Gregoshi]

So, is "tanuki" Japanese for "talk"?

[TinCow]

I am going to use my arbitrary powers of awesomeness to declare that if no battle is fought by the end of next weekend, I will declare myself the ultimate victor and close the tournament. However, I will not abuse my authority. Everyone who has not already lost a battle can vote on this proposed course of action.

(While I have not even been a participant of this turnament...)

I vote for the one who can give me an explanation or translation of tanuki, that I can understand and that finally makes sense.
