Illadelph took the loss hard, and rightly so, because it was an incredibly hard fought match on both sides.

2 - Khellendros vs. Scoobless (Tourney II)

...this was Khell's closest and best chance at a tourney win. He was initially up in the poll only to be overtaken late.

1 - Scoob/Digi vs. Blair/DC (Tourney VIII)
http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f77/t442032.html
...sorry to make myself #1 here, but it really was. Blair and Scoob had their tourney wins already, but DC and I had a lot riding on it. With the judges locked 2-2, and both plans at feverishly ludicrous levels, both teams threw out last-second arguments to try to swing the last judge to their side. And a week after the tourney, Scoob and I happened upon a scan that may have countered their main point against our prep.

...

Strangely, with mine, there's no real heartbreak. It was loads of fun, and I feel like they deserved the win. Still, as losses go, it's about as close as it gets. [/B]

I feel like my match vs. Leo should at least be a runner up here. The judges came out to be 3-4 for Leo, and the time/length of debate put in was ridiculous.

😂

that was a classic! 👆

Apocalypse is surely knocking into the foor of "best\strongest character never to win", one more loss in its record.

Jesus, there's been too many tourneys. I honestly forget that match entirely. Where did it happen? Was it the finals of that one tourney? Link?

{edit} nvrmind, found it. Yeah, good stuff.

I feel like my match vs Smurph should be in the most crushing losses.

So much shit happened before, and during that match, and I still felt like I won (haven't read it in a while). No one voted for me though. 🙁

We had a match?

Don't mean to be callous, I really don't remember.

I do remember Bran claiming that he had RL stuff for a match and couldn't really give a proper showing, but I don't remember any context whatsoever.

Oops?

The utter lack of remembrance is perhaps a more crushing blow than the loss itself. Bran may have a claim to a spot after all...

Hell, I was supposed to have a Battlezone with goober a long time ago. I want a rematch of our match from the Evangel tourney he won. I went with plan B in our first match (it was double elimination) because I assumed I'd be meeting him in the finals, where I wanted to unleash Plan A. Then my team got rule-nerfed into the Stone Age and I couldn't compete. I was so salty we couldn't have that match, because I was literally drafting/planning everything even before the tourney started specifically to counter his team in the finals. It would've been all kinds of fun.

I remember that event. As I recall you took it well.

Damn ****** straight!

I've seriously never even been remotely perturbed on KMC outside of tourneys, but have been livid over sh*t in them. My competitive nature, I guess. It's part of the reason I honestly prefer to judge. I get to enjoy them without feeling the need to fight for all kinds of little bullsh*t.

That went down as badly as Trick's antics in a previous tourny. There was no reason for her to do that mid match.

Indeed. Switching topics though....

...for anyone who remembers my epic, awesome audio writeups....that would be my sole form of posting in future tourneys. People would hate it, but it would be hilarious. Pray I don't decide to enter anything ever again.

Also, I was just going through the respect thread. Unless I missed one, we didn't have a single tourney in '09. A few in '08 (the last ended in '09, I believe, but I count based on starting date) then this current one in 2010.

Naw the most salty moment comes to me, and Kandy losing our match to Leo and Scoobless. Hell it didn’t even matter if we won the match, we still didn’t qualify for round 2. I just wanted to go out with a bang, with tournament crushing defeat over the favorites to win it.

To me I had narrowed out how to gain Cosmic Level sorcery, through base equipment ruling. Even after proving it was a base equipment, we still lost.

That one pissed me off. I don't like matches where the whole thing comes down to judge rulings. And losing anyway was really awful and i'm still puzzling over it.

Oh yeah, that was friggin hardcore...as I judge, I would've appreciated creative use of alternative forms of media.

I could have easily abused it, but that's not how I roll. I used it as a supplementary tool to regular writeups, and didn't use the audio stuff to make endlessly long writeups to circumvent the opening post rules.

The people who immediately cried foul when I did one made me sad, though. They didn't get that it was entirely for fun, and honestly forced me to stop with them sooner than I had planned. If I ever legitimately decide to do audio writeups/posts in the future, it will likely have to be short 1-2 minutes blurbs, just to avoid that nonsense.
