    Unfortunately, our automated tournament system does not allow for more than 8 players in a double elimination tournament, and we have 9. Thus, a bit of intelligence is required to fix this problem. Since all the other competitors have difficulty just remembering to breathe, I have put my towering intellect to work on this problem and come up with the following solution. An off-site bracket system has been used to generate the starting bracket, which is as follows:


    The bracket was generated randomly, and the match-up of phonicsmonkey v Andres is because fate hates them. It has nothing to do with the fact that phonicsmonkey himself caused this problem by signing up late, and that I hate Andres and wish him great pain and suffering.

    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

    You may now all worship me for fixing yet another problem caused by the Org Staff, without any help whatsoever. Honestly, I think they would probably drown in their own spittal within a week if I wasn't here.

    Kagemusha attempts to psych himself up before his match against GH. Of course, we all know that it's all for nothing.

    GH and his boys are too busy to prepare for the coming annihilation and utter whooping they are surely going to receive. Poor lads!

    Where's that phonicsmonkey? Where is he? Come over here so that I can destroy you!

    I have played 2 (TWO) MP games already and so I can call myself a veteran. I lost those two games on purpose! Now, I'm here for some SERIOUZZZ BUSINEZZZZZ.

    If a gallant knight emerges on the field I may deign to bestow a scarf for him to wear as a mark of my favour. If this happens that champion is required to win and anyone getting in the way will be discreetly hairpinned.

    Should no suitable champion emerge, I shall graciously sit on the sidelines and throw peanuts. :loads peanut catapult:

    GeneralHankerchief: 2
    Gregoshi: 0 (from MTW to TWS2, he played a few in STW)
    Kagemusha: 2
    Monk: ?
    phonicsmonkey: 0 (but has played several drop-in games as part of the Mod v Mod MP Campaign)
    TinCow: 2
    therother: 0

    EXIT STAGE LEFT.

    EXIT STAGE RIGHT.

    THERE IS NO PLACE TO RUN! ALL THE FUSES IN THE EXIT SIGNS HAVE BEEN BURNT OUT. AND THERE'S ONLY ONE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH TO THE NEXT BRACKET, AND IT DEALS WITH PAIN AND DESTRUCTION

    YOU, ISSAIKHAN, WILL FEEL THAT PAIN, FEEL THAT DESTRUCTION WHEN WE PLAY. AND I WILL, TAKE VICTORY FOR MYSELF, TAKE IT TO PARTS UNKNOWN. LOAD THE SPACESHIP WITH THE ROCKET FUEL. LOAD IT WITH THE WORDS. BECAUSE AFTER WE PLAY: VICTORY WILL. BE. MINE.

    When finished, I will make your arrogance pay
    Your soldiers shall be slaughtered and you shall fail.

    [false bravado]This is pointless. I'm doomed. TinCow even knows it - he's already smack talking with Kage on the other end of the bracket. I'm just a splash screen for his next round.[/false bravado]

    You will be crushed TinCoward!! Crushed! Doom! Doom is upon you! A crushing doom! Crushing and dooming is in your future! And woe! I can't forget woe! A woeing, crushing doom of hopelessness awaits you! Ooooo, hopelessness too! Woe, Crushing, Doom and Hopelessness are the Four Horsemen of your Apocalyptic Fate. Muhahahaha!

    Okay, so I can't talk smack either.

    First of all, I lost on purpose. It's part of my devious plans to win this tournament. I feel safe revealing my secret plans out in the open, because, senile as you all are, you probably already forgot the last sentence you just read.

    Secondly, we played on the rice fields map, there are rivers nor lakes on that map. You were probably drunk again and worshipped your toilet on your knees after the game. The only things you drowned was your half digested meal.

    Thirdly, I do not have a pet poodle
