Shame?

If I win shouldn't you be the one who goes in the hall of shame?

And fear not rebelman, for my clan has been inspired by the Saga of your warriors, and have vowed to redouble their efforts in battle; we will liberate all the lands remaining before us or else run the very seas red with our dying blood, to honor your fallen Rebel Army!

Tournament updates later this evening, for anyone who wants to know.

Alright, got the internet back up after some weird stuff long enough to post the updated bracket. No new games to create yet though. I think there will be tomorrow however.

Yes the hall of shame for the ones that place us there should be mentioned.

first off what is the "If I win" for. dont think I can come back for that far back and win myself.

Yes it should be me that goes to the hall of shame but you should be mentioned (in neon lights I might add) as the one that placed me in there

I never claim victory until defeat is impossible, every now and then someone comes back from 1 or 2 terrs to win, and if it's against me they at least won't have the satisfaction of quoting my early "gg"

Think I understand this now, you're saying I'll go in as the Dick Drago to your Henry Aaron, except reverse?

Whoops, I'll fix that.

I've added the asterisk and will upload the new bracket when I get back to my other computer.

After a brief but hard-fought battle, the dwarves finally prevail in Brazil. They pause before departing to destroy every last idol they can find of the "Godd" of their enemies, and to erect temples to the Allfather in their stead. Then at last they return to their interdimensional ironclads (for how else could their foes have claimed that they too had just conquered Ireland?) and, stoking the alchemical engines, head North across the Atlantic and down the St. Lawrence Seaway. The clan's soldiers know not their destination, but trust in the helmsmen's hands. guided by ghosts out of time who speak to all the company in their dreams, decrying the betrayal of Fate and exhorting vengeance in maddening whispers. When they finally sight the city they have come to free, for a moment they give thanks that they will finally be at peace. And yet, they will find none here for they suddenly realize, without knowing how, that this is the right place but the wrong plane. Wearily they board the launches, praying to Odin that they survive this fight, and that the next one be against this "rsuttles," that their sleep might once again bring rest.

It just gets better and better. I should make it a requirement in Point Grabbers V that everyone has to write an exciting epic to record their wins and losses.

However, you face the winner of spidey/BaldAdonis not rsuttles58.

Well, when rebel posted a smiley in reply to the last one I decided to just go all out with it.

That's why I wrote it like this,

I could conceivably face him in the finals.

You have the support of the spirit of the rebel army in your forthcoming battles. May your victories be great worthy of epic tales and may your opponents die painful cowardly deaths.

New bracket is up now.

New games have been sent out and new bracket is up!

Wow, I am the highest seed left. I feel that it would be appropriate for my 6th seeded doubles partner to make it to the finals with me.

The dwarves don't care what you feel would be appropriate

Have the dwarves ever actually cared? I didn't think so.

I don't have any new updates for you guys today.

Optimus Prime wrote:Have the dwarves ever actually cared? I didn't think so.

We care about our alcohol
And in this case we care about getting vengeance in the finals

night strike, you better move your ass, cause I'm already in the finals.

The last squad can see their friends and brothers being butchered across the bridge, and ken that their own lives will last only until the enemy reenters formation on the near shore. They know the battle ended almost ere it began, when their great jarl was hewn in twain despite his gleaming armor. Now each by his self silently prays that his life has been valiant enough, that this failure at the end will not doom him to be both plank and crew of Naglfar. The last remaining skald, seeing this dark humor o'ertake them, and fearing for their very souls, hurries to action. The struggle has not been for aught, he exclaims, for have they not already conquered many varied lands in Odin's name; have they not sworn an oath, he reminds, that still binds them even tho death be scant minutes away? Surely if they fall a'charging, axes swinging afore, their last breath used for a battle cry, surely the valkyr will hear it. How can they dare fight less than recklessly, he challenges them, when their honorless adversaries have no Glytha and capture can lead only to Hel. Follow Me! he shouts before tearing off his shirt in bearsark fashion and gathering a fallen shield for his weapon, and tonight I will toast you with honey mead as we drink together in Valhalla! Einherjar, charge!

And so they did, pausing only to cast aside their helmets to bare their signature fros. An hour later not a single dwarf remained among the breathing, but all had died smiling: their glory was won, their part played. Perhaps the ghosts would haunt Spidey now, perhaps not. They had found peace in death and that was all that mattered.

It's Evil Semp and Paradox's fault. They were incredibly slow in their game. By the way, I had a good drop on my current game, so hopefully my dice will hold up.

I've recorded spidey's semi-finals win and will post the updated bracket later today.

Right now we are just waiting to see if Night Strike or Paradoxx317 prevail to face rsuttles58 in the second sem-final game.

Keep up the good work guys.
