Ascension - February league

Josemas is the February league champion! Congratulations to both him and Wilykat (padingtun). Way to keep the Old School relevant, Josemas!


== [B]Finals[/B] ==
Game 1: Josemas99 defeats padingtun 94-81
Game 2: Josemas99 defeats padingtun 114-83
Game 3: All-Star game!


=====================

Playoffs:

Each player should challenge the others below him in the list. The challenger may choose the decks to be used. Winners should report the result along with either the score or the point differential. The top two by wins/losses (with ties broken by point differential) will have a three-game playoff for champion!

=====================

These were our rules.

You can challenge anyone in the list above you, as well as anyone within three spots below you. The top three players may challenge anyone in the list. Please do not challenge anyone you are already playing.

Note: As this month began, everyone was handicapped by the number of wins or losses (compared to .500) that he or she ended last month with. See the next post if you’re interested in the initial settings.

Please report your wins in boldface using Game Center nicknames.

FAQ

Q: Is it too late to join?
A: Nope! Send me a PM that includes your Game Center name if you’d like to join.

Q: Are we using the expansion?
A: Yes, but you can challenge someone using either the original deck, the expansion only, or the mixed deck. If you use the mixed deck, no need to announce the fact, but if you want to use the original or expansion only, it would be polite to say so.

Q: How are people ranked?
A: I’m only keeping track of how many games above or below .500 each player is. This means that someone who is 10-8 will be ranked the same as someone who is 7-5, even though the 7-5 player has a slightly better percentage.

Q: What is the horizontal line for?
A: The people below it have zero results so far. They can challenge anyone in the entire list.

Q: Can we play in 3 or 4 person games?
A: Sure thing! If you do, then here’s how the scoring works. For a 3-player game, the winner scores 2 while the two losers score -1. For a 4-player game, the winner scores 3, second place scores zero, third place scores -1, and last place scores -2.

Q: When does the league end?
A: Let’s suspend league play on February 26 at quarter-to-three in the night, and commence with a six-player playoff for league champion. Ties for the sixth spot will be broken by looking at the result of the most recent game(s) among the tied players. The playoff will be of the usual style: each of the six plays a game against the others, and the top two (by wins, with ties broken by point differential) play a best-of-three for the championship. You must have played at least 10 games to qualify for the playoffs.

The last day on which challenges that must be completed may be issued is February 22. After that date, challenges may be completed.

Here were the standings when the league ended.

Here is how the month began, in case anyone is interested in seeing the original ‘handicap’ that each player was up against. These initial settings were a mirror-image of how the previous month’s league ended.

I would ordinarily get the month started by defeating Hans Lauring, but he’s gone now. I miss him. :(

So do I.

As the guy who was responsible for knocking me out of the playoffs in January, I sent two, count them TWO challenges to Mark Gray. And I’m going to beat him in both games, just to put him further in the hole.

I challenge mrdannimal, NixxteR, and DeForrestation.

Mark Gray is more a force of NATURE then a mere mortal. But I challenge Mr Swee anyway.

I challenge jennywoo and Shellfishguy!

DeForrestation defeats fuzzyslug 64 - 56 or something like that. Could this be an auspicious omen for the new month?

For whom!?

Mr Swee defeats SelfMadeSinnick 101 to 78.

With Old Man Draw three, Ascetic and Arbiter coming up early I had some huge early hands. Hard to beat.

ps: Heh.

Welcome to both Diddums (yes, THAT Diddums!) and KiloOhm!

jennywoo, if fuzzy gets you this message: great game this morning! The weird thing is, you drew Adayu (the 8-point dude) in the middle of the game, and I swear you cycled through your deck twice more and he never appeared. Did you attach him as a weapon to a construct, or discard him in order to bless your lifebound cards? Or something? Or am I just crazy?

Fuck this game.

So true.

Mr Swee defeats SelfMadeSinnick 72 to 70.

That’s not gonna help!

JennyWoo defeats anabtilps 72 - 69. She said she has no idea where that card went. I wish she had donated it to me, though.

So it really did disappear from her deck somehow? Seriously, it was WEIRD!

Welcome to 3ric 3rown! And I challenge him right in the bottom.
