TT2006 - Round 2: Mr Scrub vs Palm

Druid
Posted July 24th, 2006 by Oograh Boike

This is a standard message posted in all TT2006 Round Two games

....and The Battle continues! You've had your fun with the not-entirely-fit, the wouldbees and wannabees, and the ones who said they were in Koom Valley when things went Librarian-poo but weren't

  • ; but now it's time to enter The Arena to meet The Real Ones, and to show the rest of us what you're really made of. Will you be The One, The Two, or One of the Other Two?

    There's a stiff wind blowing across the Valley from the east, and there's a huge crowd around cheering for blood and brains, and little bits of rock. One of them shouts: "Rat on a stick! Get your rat onna stick 'ere!" The red mist over your eyes seems to add to the fog all around. The only thing you see are three fools who thought they could be The Thudmeister. Hah! You'll show them, won't you! There will be only One, and it will be You! Give us a show then! Raise your club, sharpen your axe, and berserk like only you can....

    Koom Valley all over again. Shame really, the tourists were coming in nicely, and now you're scaring them off again... Ah well.

    There's four of you that made Round Two of TT2006 [**], and again you need to battle all of them. This is one of the games you need to play. If this is the first one you found, check for two other TT2006 - Round 2 games with your name in the topic line.
    Remember! You might have ended Round One with, say, 62 points attached to your name, this Round Two starts with 0 (zero) points for all players again!
    Same rules apply as for Round One, and scores can be found here.
    Games need to end at 7th of august '06, 23:59 BST [***].
    The two of you with best final scores will go to the Final Game to meet again for a last, and hopefully violent and very bloody time, and the other two will go to semifinals to find out who'll be One of the Other Two. All of you will go into that final round with 0 (zero) points.

    Again, Forum is default, so please stick to the 24-hour rule until you've had an online game (should you want to).

    Go for it, Good Luck, Happy Thudding, and killemall!
    Axe Board Club

    [*]All in good fun Wink ! No offense intended to any of your former opponents.
    [**]Congratulations BTW to Dwarves are Small, Mr Scrub, Palm, and SANEAlex. Well done!
    [***]Yes, another two weeks for this round. When setting up the rules, we thought we might have a bit more sign ups, and therefore an extra round. I could give you an extra week, but decided against it; it wouldn't be fair to the Round One players. Better stick to the original plan. I hope you agree.

    Apologies for sending the same message to all three of you guys, but I'm fairly sure I want to say the same things, and it's too late to be inventive.

    This time around I dont think there'll be any long period when I can't get to the forums*, so I don't have any need to try to play a live game, tho I'm still up for one if you'd like. If you'd like to play live, I think I can do more or less any time within reason - please suggest times that're good for you.

    If not, my first move on the forum game is
    d E14 - J14
    (largely because this approach seems to be the current best suggestion for avoiding the Ultimate Troll strategy. Well, I can dream anyway Wink)

    *my family holiday starts on the 7th, so I may not be able to post up to the last minute, but apart from that it should be fine

    Please let me know which day fits you.

    Untill we play lie (or not) these are my next moves:
    1. T H9 - J10

    2. d E14 - J14

    BTW, good luck.

    Indeed it has been a while - tho I seem to remember I didn't really match up the first time...
    Probably best not go for saturday, as I'll be up against DAS at 9:30pm BST saturday (touchwood). But Friday or Sunday 9:00 BST is great

    d J14 - P8

    T H9 - H10

    Ok, Friday it is.
    21.00 BST.

    See you then.

    BTW, when we have played live, is it for you a problem to skip the forum game untill so far. So those points we will not take into acount.

    Greetings,

    sorry - I wasn't really thinking: I'm supposed to be at my grandma's on friday, so could we make it sunday instead. Embarassed Embarassed

    As far as ignoring these moves so far goes, that's fine by me - I tend to have forgotten what we do on forum anyway, so it's easier for me to start afresh online.

    then it must be on another day, because on Sunday I'll play against DAS. Except for the Monday the rest of the days is all fine by me. I'll try to get SANEAlex planned for this Friday, because I informed him already that I'm playing against U.

    Game number 2669, played live from 21:00 until midnight BST on 1/8/2006.

    First half
    Mr Scrub (d) 7 vs 28 (T) Palm

    Second half
    Palm (d) 20 vs 24 (T) Mr Scrub
    (tho it should perhaps be noted that Palm decided to spare me by not taking a final troll, the danger to which I'd ignored - thanks P Very Happy)

    Overall, Palm wins by 17 points.

    Hope thats everything, and that it's all correct.

    Mr Scrub
