Curry's Tournament Odds!

Originally posted by Digi
My first tournament was with 2/3 of an amalgam that was drafted by someone else (Zod and Loki). I inherited it during drafts and picked the final 1/3 of the bunch (Apollo). And came in 4th place with it (out of 10). Which I consider to be a great feat of debating, because I literally knew nothing about the 2/3 that had already been drafted. I was working from internet bios, and nothing else.

Of course, this was before scans were necessary in tourneys, so a lot of it was BS. But it was still impressive imo, because I had absolutely nothing to go off of. Khellendros with Majestic wrecked me twice in that tourney...I had no answer for him. Knowing what I know of Loki now, I could've made a go of it. But at the time, I was completely in the dark. A shame too, because I barely used Loki, and basically punched my way to the semis. Loki is unequivocally the most useful of that lot for tourney purposes.

Anyway, it would be hilarious to see someone else adopt someone else's picks. But it probably wouldn't be fair.

was that huge personal story the setup for the third paragraph? hahahahha

Just reminded me of it, is all. Half of this thread is just shooting the sh*t anyway, so I wanted to share.

Quick Freeze. That was the poster that drafted Loki/Zod. Hilarious guy. Would have gotten himself wrecked in any tourney. But incredibly fun to chat with.

I think I may have been able to redraft those guys, even. But I was such a complete noob, I didn't know anyone else worth drafting. So I stuck it out. I guess we were all confused newbies once.

yeah and the idea of pming a host to see what is and isnt allowed is completely foriegn to me. despite playing in around 15 to 20 tourneys a year this is the first one I've ever played in where the host isnt also a competitor. The five touneys I've hosted in the last year have all been so I could use a specific team or character choices.

provided Curry is ok with that of course.
also not sure how I feel about getting a free ride through a round. if Sin doesn't show would anyone like to throw up some arguments for her amalgam

would having you face cdb (since sin isn't around) as her first round opponent present a large problem? curry?

I'm completely OK with that, TBH. Let's see what tourney boss says since that is a reshuffling of brackets to be honest.

I got wrecked in my first two tournament attempts here. My first time, I was in the same spot as Beats. Stuff that was approved in private, was ruled out in public etc.. Hell I came in with the same confidence too. I did will in other forums, why would it be any different here...right!?!

And despite being in the whole of a mess that I was in, and toughed it out. I realized that I needed to learn, what works, and what doesn't.

So don't feel bad Beats. I was you once.

I've only been in two tourneys, and I've lost all three of my matches, but the first time I had the misfortune of drafting (actually I let my partner do the drafting) Swamp-Thing and then facing the forum's resident expert on Swamp-Thing (Galan).

Yeah. Everyone's first tournament is a rough one, right guys?

vin

oh yeah, mine was turrible too....

Beatboks, if you want back in then that's fine.

PM me your writeup.

You'll go up against Charlotte. From what I understand she's also okay with this.

sweet, this will be perhaps the first time in tourney history that there have been 4 concurrent matches going on. at least that i can recall. hope the judges have their big boy pants on..... lol

Well, actually only 2 matches will require judging at time. Since me and boks and you and PG will end our matches later than Chip/Id and Abhi/Digi.

fair enuff. i still don't even know who is judging my match.... and i'm looking forward to finally seeing your amalgam in action cdb!

Well, apparently Tijay and Sin were so scared of Emeralda's performance in Delph's tourney that they decided to run away from me🙂
Also, I like Abhi's debating performance. A tourney discovery...reminds me of my own style. It's a pity we are in the opposite halves of bracket.

Abhi's doing a great job, but I wish the bolding didn't get messed up.

Once beatboks PMs me the writeup I'll post your match and get this show on the road 🙂

Thanks.

Abhi has also impressed me.

Have you ever considered trying your hand at debating, Abhi? biscuits

I've a lot of knowledge in my religious mythology and whenever possible can debate points in mythology with actual experts for hours.

Digi vs Abhi; PR, Omega and Galan
ID vs Chip; Delph, Me, Blair Wind
