Gameroom Rock/Paper/Scissors Tournament III

[GeneralHankerchief]

I did two of these a while back, but it's been over two years since I've hosted one. However, seeing as how I'm a) graduated, b) unemployed, and c) no longer a moderator here, I have some more time on my hands. Thus, round three, baby!

Rules:
Pretty simple really. I create the one-on-one matchup, each participant sends me a PM saying which one they pick. Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock. In the case of there being a tie, players will also send me a second choice in the PM. If there's still a tie, then the game ends in a draw.

Tournament structure will be a single round robin which will determine seeding. The knockout round will be your standard seeded ladder structure, with the top four seeds earning first-round byes. In the round robin, players get 1 point for a win, 0 points for a loss, and 0.5 points for a tie. There are no draws in the knockout round, obviously.

Best of luck to all, and happy WIFOMing!

[Ishmael]

AHAHAHA! I shall CRUSH you all with ROCK!

...er, I mean paper. Yes, paper.

[BSmith]

I'll be the scissors to Ishmael's paper ...

[Zack]

I'll be the rock to BSmith's scissors to Ishmael's paper.

[Visor]

AHAHAHA! I shall CRUSH you all with ROCK!

...er, I mean paper. Yes, paper.

I'll be the Maroons to your Blues.

Also, in.

[LazyMcCrow]

Rock, Paper, Shotgun?
Yes please. (but I shall secretly be playing it as 'Pikeman, Archers, Cavalry'

[atheotes]

yes...lets call it 'Pikeman, Archers, Cavalry'

but whenever my Cavalry is faced with Pikemen, they will refuse to charge!

[edse]

I want to join.

[LazyMcCrow]

yes...lets call it 'Pikeman, Archers, Cavalry'

but whenever my Cavalry is faced with Pikemen, they will refuse to charge!

Then you will no doubt be forced to execute them for failing to protect their Lord!

[Montmorency]

Sounds like a brief one.

[atheotes]

Then you will no doubt be forced to execute them for failing to protect their Lord!

We will just call the battle a draw, take half a point each and live to fight another day!

[classical_hero]

Good old rock.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

[Sigurd]

..and instantly my brow is knitted. Nay! Furrowed even!
Should the pikemen advance, or the archers step forward a rank? Do I dare e'en sound the call for the cavalry to charge?

[GeneralHankerchief]

I've got 6/12 selections in already and all six are from different matches. Nice.

[Sigurd]

Heh..

I have a slight problem sending PMs. I have 3800 messages stored of 600 allowed. There is no way I am going to go through my PM box selecting the 3000 or so I need to delete in order to receive or send PMs..

If you want to do an absolute mass-delete, at your inbox scroll down to where it says "folder controls" (it should have the red/yellow/green bar) and click the "empty folder" button. Voila. I did the exact same thing when I got ungreened.

There are many that I would like to keep and I have them ordered in logical folders. I am not particularly fond of the downloadable versions as they lose the layout of complicated multi quote PMs.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Here, for the time being VM me your choices. We're both online and I'll delete it as soon as I see it.

[Sigurd]

TinCow fixed... you should have received my PM

[GeneralHankerchief]

Got it, yes.

[Double A]

Gah! I missed the sign ups!

AND I'M STILL NOT OVER THE FACT THAT GH'S NAME ISN'T GREEN!

You do realize that the best you can hope for against me is a draw, right?

[CountArach]

I can't believe I missed this chance to reclaim my rightful crown :(

Some of the best write ups on this forum were from these games, I'll be watching for sure.

[GeneralHankerchief]

CA! Didn't even know you were still around. I'll try to work you in this one, somehow.

Waiting on classical. If he gets them into me within the next hour or two I might be able to resolve these before I go to bed.
