sinnick over Tyjenks. Great game. Super high score too, like 115 to 90. The enlightened event certainly helped me there.

Balls, you got on a run and I could not recover.

Gus_Smedstad:

Gus defeated Tyjenks in a friggin’ tiebreaker 62-62. All those Mechana for so little effect.

Starting with the two wandering Askaras got me to a good start. I had some good culling and synergy going, but it just fell apart.

Poop. :)

On the bright side, you’re IN THE PIT! Lots of games to play there!

iron over pastose for Feb, let the best of 3 begin! I’ll wait for your challenge first sir.

AT > ddtibbs to narrowly escape the Pit.

soonanother over ddtibbs I lucked into a huge run of green cards early on. Aiyana, werewolf landtalker, 3 wolf acolytes, lionheart and spider witch. I think I got to play most of them just one time, in one giant turn. Then ddtibbs went Tarik->Aaron->Kythis, then the game was over. GG!

There is more room in the Pit. There is infinite room in the Pit.

I’m guessing the bonus scoring system in the pit will determine the playoff entrants from the pit. It will be pretty hard to overcome a +3 or +4 head start…

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-13T19:16:06.000Z

I’m starting to wonder the same thing, and am thinking that we might want to cut the points in half or something. I want people who went straight to the Pit to have a chance! That being said, I can’t even tell if anyone in the Pit is playing…

Oh, we’re playing, banana man.

ironcub14 · 2014-02-13T20:18:24.000Z

Halving it sounds like a good idea! Hey, is blitz supposed to come in with 4 points or 5? Is it, he survived 2 rounds and came in with 3 wins in the circle stages, so he should come in with 5?

JF over Brakara

Dave, you forgot to include our match in the table.

Why not just make it “every win is 1 point?” The bonus for staying out of the Pit is that you play more games before you fall into the Pit, which means you have a higher potential score.

ironcub14 · 2014-02-14T09:02:59.000Z

Lol, oh yeahhh :)

Wouldn’t that just increase the ceiling of the bonus that you go into the pit with? Maybe the pre-pit game wins /2, rounded down.

soondifferent:

The current rule is 1 point per win outside the pit + 1 point per round survived. I was suggesting eliminating the second bonus.

It’d go from:
Delirium 2 -> 1
Blitz 4 -> 3
DDTibbs 3 -> 2
Tyjenks 3 -> 2

Alternately, we could cut the first bonus, so it’s just 1 point per round survived. That changes it to:
Delirium 2 -> 1
Blitz 4 -> 2
DDTibbs 3 -> 1
Tyjenks 3 -> 1

It really depends on whether you think people who won both games in a round (Peeps, Tyjenks, ColonelT, Pastose, Ironcub, Blitz) should get some credit for it. I think they should since it otherwise you don’t care once you win one game - the second doesn’t matter, you’re still staying out of the Pit.

Of course, since I’m still outside the pit, I think the bonus should be 10 points per round survived, 100 points for being part of the first group, and 1000 points for having a name that starts with “G”.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-02-14T10:39:00.000Z

I like the 1 point per round survived a lot. Let’s do that! Very simple. But not so sure about the “G” thing.

Gus FTW!
