Posts from "Rookie-2010. Summer"

Looks like today is the last day of the tour, but we haven't even started...

Why not? By the way, your opponent has been known for a long time. :)

I apologize for the 24-hour delay – sometimes there are issues with time management. The results of the second round of the playoffs are summarized in the bracket diagrams. Congratulations to everyone who made it to the third round, especially those who remained in the upper bracket and reached the quarterfinals.

Deadline for the third round: August 16th.
HOWEVER: in the lower bracket, you need to try to play 2 games within this time.
You already know that if you don't make it, I will always accommodate you and can add a couple of days, but try to finish on time: there are still many games to be played, and summer might end soon.

What I want to say about the second round:
I won't complain about the delay in the round; I perfectly understand your problems, etc. In the upper bracket, there were no technical results, which is a good thing.
Shevanesyan, Albert, Imb, Teniu – good luck to you all, and may you have a great game going forward.

Unfortunately, there were some issues in the lower bracket...
Tungus - Shamanenok both receive technical defeats (Shamanenok withdrew due to lack of time; I haven't seen Tungus for almost a month, and I don't see any point in putting him in the next slot in the bracket). Furious advances to the next stage without a fight, and I don't mind giving him this "advantage" – he was discharged from the hospital a day before the end of the round and managed to play, which is commendable. By the way, thank you to Albert for finding the opportunity to play on the last day.
Weber is disqualified from the tournament due to inactivity.
Prophet withdrew due to lack of time.
I wish everyone else good luck, a great game, and further progress in the bracket. But, of course, only one person will reach the final. :)

Okay. I wrote to you on ICQ.:)
We can try today. I'll knock around 11:00 PM. Maybe earlier if I finish work.

Slow roads.
2 external dwellings of troglodytes, 1 of dragons, on the third I thought about entering the Griffin Conservatory (3-4), heading back home and trying to take the Dragon Utopia, dunno what would have come of that
but imb entered a one-way gate and

and ended up who knows where with an angel, Tazar, and also attacked a horde of dogs info=)

thx for the game
good luck :smile13:

08.08.2010, shadow of a homeless person (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def imb (red, Fortress, Tazar) 8mm6, 127
Slow roads.

In the first one, everything was good - gnoll lairs, vivs, lizards, but the computer was located somewhere unclear, probably on a dirt road.
In the second one, I took a consul 2 and then something happened...

I am withdrawing from the tournament due to a lack of time. Good luck to everyone.

16.08.2010 theShevanesian (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) - Albert@s (red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) 8MM6 134

Average spawn - medium respawn without utopia with a Griffin Conservatory, average gold. On the first week - gorgons and wyverns in the town, took a native computer. Here I got lucky - got a double, which allowed me to take both level 2 and level 3 Griffin Conservatories on the second week and run out on day 131 to find the opponent. Additionally, I found all three components of the amulet of health on different edges of the open map. The opponent was harassed by a necromancer hero who was raising 50 percent of health. Nevertheless, I managed to reach the opponent quickly thanks to short roads, so there wasn't even a final battle - the opponent surrendered... Thank you, Albert, for the game!

Added after 1 minute
I'm leaving until August 30, I earnestly ask you to wait and not count me a technical loss in the upper bracket final...

16.08.2010 theShevanesian (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) - Albert@s (red, Citadel, Crag Hack, Nimbus) 8MM6 134
confirming, I took all the resists-blocks... and again unlucky, one road to the dungeon and that's it... plus on that road a bunch of elves for the 10% Necro Cloak, I decide to buy Nimbus (what a loser), and try to accumulate skels... Dmitry has native secondary at 115, on week 2 an angel appears in the thief den... wtf... I'm walking around like I shit my pants, on week 2 I take secondary Necro with the Necro Amplifier - total 50% Necromancy, but nothing to gather, the comp-dog knocked everything down... I take secondary Castle, nearby a Dragon Utopia, another week and I'd have a chance, but the opp is already near the purchased double... don't want to waste time - 4 behemoths, 9 Zanders, and 250 skels - nothing to catch... thanks for the game, good luck... but I'm not giving up, the next opp won't have it easy...

The top bracket matches are over, well done.
Congratulations to тенью бездомной and theShevanesian for reaching the final of the top bracket (semifinal of the tournament).

Lower bracket:
Sevan-80, Berkus, YoshiDo, Vidok, please respond within three days.

We've been working on the Vidok save for a while now; we thought we'd finish it over the weekend, but he lost his internet connection during the game. The next day, we just couldn't find a time to play together...
I think we'll finish it sometime today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow...
Sorry for the delay.

Sevan-80 and I haven't started yet...
The latest messages from our chat history contain the following:
Sevan_80 (08/10/2010 7:19):
I'm having computer problems, let's postpone it until tomorrow.
If it gets fixed soon, I'll let you know.

Sorry for the delay.

I'll wait until August 21st. If there's no result, then Vortex123 moves on.

If Sevan-80 doesn't show up by August 21st, Berkus moves on. Try to coordinate with Furious now; you have very little time left for the game.

sevan didn't show up, and today is the 22nd, so I'm writing

22.08.2010 Furious (red, Tower, Aine, Thraxor) def Berkus (blue, Castle, Valeska, Crag) 145 8mm6

great start - day 1, 6 heroes, Thraxor catches a log and levels it up right away)
on day 115 I realize there's nowhere to go, blocked by a crowd of birds at the computer, next block is hordes of mages (stashing devils)
I think I'm done for and go through some deserts who knows where))
on the first week 1-4,6 at the Citadel
at the end of the second week I finally take the computer's Castle (also Tower) the pest sat in the Castle all week, barely kicked him out of there
then it gets easier
on the third week 2 Pandora's boxes +10 exp and 10 gold, third-level Griffin Conservatory, a couple of artifacts, and a Castle in the treasure zone
2 Dragon Utopias are revealed, which I take on days 141 and 142 with the loss of 4 Nagas and 2 Angels (he was very angry)
in the second one, Speaker's Hat, Dimension Door, and the next turn I'm near the opponent (explosion at 1500 is pleasing)
I only catch half of his army, the opponent surrenders
