I’ve sent you an invite. I don’t like the format, but I’m going into Ascension withdrawal. As I see it, it’s one extended game with resets, since individual wins don’t matter, just your ongoing total.

It’s all about the withdrawal, really. And the tiny red unicorn by your name!

Also, if anyone wants to just play best-of-# series instead, you are most welcome to. I’m in two of them myself, and one is a best of 99. I am not suffering from withdrawal. As long as it’s a best of 19 or more, I’ll award tiny red unicorns (and I’ll rename the side contest).

I was quite hoping it would be you :)

@$%$ing four heavies!

Nice job hanging in there to give you a chance at the end, which came, Pacman. Grrr!

That was a close one, wasn’t sure I quite had enough mechana to balance your point lead. On to game 2 :-)

Are the last two games here under way? Or did I maybe miss the reporting?


Tyjenks beat me. I think he reported it way at the beginning.

Thanks! Also, wicked good pair of games you and I played recently, Wheeljack. Just realized when I updated that they were merely twerkies. Or funzies.

I like Gus, I think he likes this game as much as I do.

Enjoying the fast games, see ya again in an hour or so!

Of course you like me, since you’ve been destroying me utterly in these games. When you win it’s -23 or -32 or something, and the one time I manage a victory it’s a piddling +3. Adayu takes Sammael, bah!

On an unrelated note, NixxterR doesn’t seem to be playing much for a [3]. We’ve barely begun game 2, which I wouldn’t mention except that the chart shows only one reported result for him so far.

I need to get better about posting results sooner with some after action commentary. I think it helps keep my interest level up.

Unicorn Series: ironcub over gus

How’s that for a possible name for the side, SIDE tourney? :)

Gus, I haven’t had such a stream of early round luck in awhile! I seemed to be getting the Glass or Sabre in early rounds in almost all these games, damn.

Great live games, would you be up for another series later on? We could make it a best-of series if you prefer, let me know.

Yeah, I’ve been playing against Nixxter for at least a week and we’re only on round 11 of game 1. I was going to PM him and see if we can schedule a time to knock out the games live.

Needs qualifiers to distinguish it from the Unicorn of Awesomeness. Dave said “tiny red unicorn,” but that lacks panache. I’m thinking invisible pink unicorn.

Yeah, I’m up for another series. Provided you leave your leprechaun of lucky card drawing at home.

Was that to 100 points, not to 19+ games, I assume?

Invisible pink unicorn!

Yeah. It was a steady grind of defeat for me. I won one of seven games. It felt like he was gaining 20-25 points each game, but obviously since it took him 7 to reach 106, the average was rather less than that.

Ah yes, of course, I had forgotten all about the Unicorn of Awesomeness.

Gus, I shall send another invite at a later time for the Sprint to the Invisible Pink Unicorns!

Gus, are we going up to 100 net points again or doing a best-of-9 or 19 series?

I’ll do either one, though I prefer best-of to the to-100 format. I like to think the best-of series reduces the impact of a particularly lucky game. Not that it would have helped this last time, since I went 1-6. [much fist shaking ensues]
