Pairings are up. Play. Post here if you have any questions or concerns. Have fun & good luck!

Cell Number: 494

Oh God...you paired me with Sash...you bastard!!!!

*Starts weeping*

Hah hah, may as well just resign now, maybe? What's his record, 59-0-0 or something like that? Still, you got the 3 wins so far, you're guaranteed a tie for second at the very worst!

Your pal, -doc-

Yeah Doc...he's got a very impressive record...and plays very well. I've 'followed' all his games....

Well, it'll be interesting...

Good luck to everyone.

It's me and Veneficuz this time around. Strangely enough, I'm undefeated, even though I actually only won one game (missed the first round, won the second by forfeit, and somehow managed to hold off BeeKay in the third). Looking forward to my last match.

Veneficuz: If I let you win, can I have that vorpal sword I mentioned?

Heh. He'll probably reduce all your scores to 3...and give you nothing but cursed items...and XP penalties...and, and, and....

He is the DM, after all...don't get him mad at you...or you may just get that Vorpal Blade...but not how you expected...hehe...

DM : Master Suhos character just lost her head...to the swing of that Vorpal Blade. What do you do?

Master Suho : *Bleeds*

Doc's and my game
http://www.stansco.com/cgi-bin/nc_game.cgi?140314???

So, uh, that's what he'll do if I let him win? Geez, I guess I'm going to have to kick his butt then.

Ooh. Did I just say that? I meant "kiss"--um, yeah, that's the ticket.

Let's seee...*gets out calculator* How much XP is a DM worth? Hmmm...

*Finishes calculations* Man, that's a ton of XP!

You'd be better off to beat him...hehe...
So that when I lose to Sasha, you'll be 'tied' for 2nd place...

well, "massacre" is dead

mas plays instead
i challenged you, wj

I wouldn't do that It would be much more fun (for me at least) polymorphing you into flies and than summon a frog to eat you. "The brave party of adventurers met an unexpected end when they where eaten by a frog"

Veneficuz vs. Suho1004

Didn't Ven get a point for me resigning? He was going to spank me pretty bad.

Casting Polymorph Other on a chauvenist pig to turn him into a female is pretty good torture. I don't think it is allowed in the spell description, but the DM allowed it just because.

Uh, would it be ok if I bowed out of this round? I'm sorry but I've just been too busy lately, and I'm not really up to playing a long game of chess. Sorry.

behmer

Heh. Seems like the Sicilian is getting a workout this time around...Sasha vs WebShaman

Yup, but you guys are a few moves ahead of us already...

Hey Ven, not to be pushy or anything, but I've noticed that at least two days go by between moves. Even at a move a day the game will take over a month (probably, unless one of us does something stupid). Just a friendly reminder.

Sorry Suho. I'll speed up my play in another day or two, but I have a big school project due this Friday. When that one is finnished I'll be good

Not a problem. I totally understand being busy.

I think we've already sped up considerably--we should be sailing along into the midgame in no time.

'Bump' mate...

Sasha, going to update the Asylum chess tourny page?...

Just wondering...

Things that go *bump* in the night...

How about that update?

BTW - nice game, Master Suho...well done.

Looks like Doc has his game sewn up...well done.

Thanks, WS--although I think Veneficuz is going to play down to the last man. In all three of his losses he's played until he's lost everything except his pawns or checkmate.

I noticed that you and Sash aren't coming along too quickly, though. I was actually looking forward to seeing how that match shaped up....

Uhhh...ok Master Suho...then I won't say anything else about your game...*sheepish grin*

Hehe... I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't think it's going to affect the result one way or another.

[Edit: OK, it's done now. Suho1004 defeats Veneficuz and clinches a tie for second place with the loser of the WS/Sash match... *sigh* too bad I missed the first round. No, wait, then I might have gotten paired with Sash. Yes, it was better this way...]

[This message has been edited by Suho1004 (edited 10-09-2002).]

Yeah, Sash is that good...I'm really having my doubts about being able to beat him...well, we will see, won't we?

Nice game, Master Suho...maybe a 'side challenge' to Sash is in it for you?

A player named ErikD managed a draw against Sash! Sash is now 71-0-1. There is hope for ya WS!

Cell Number: 494

Oh, I'll have to take a look at that game...thanks, BeeKay!

Congrats Suho and thanks for the game

I kind of forget that I can resign from the game before check mate. I'll have to try and remember that next time I lose

Sash's Live Page Updated ("live page updated", sounds stupid I know)

Two games haven't started yet:
maninacan(1) (a.k.a. jbehmer) vs. Synthetic(1.5) (a.k.a. Xtrae)
Dark(0) (a.k.a. Kriek) vs. BeeKay(1)

Am I right?

Oh, I get it... you want me to distract Sash so you can go in for the kill...

But the game isn't over yet, and--as BeeKay pointed out--there is still hope. You may even pull out a win! Then we would have to have a rematch, I guess.

Thank you, V. It was a fun game, and there was a point there where you had me concerned--if you had pressed on along the same lines, you could have made life very difficult for me. Better luck next time.

Knowing when to resign is also a skill, actually, although not one that most players wish to cultivate.

Yes, I purposely paired these games up cause it looked like these folks all (with the exception of me) had dropped out of the tournament for whatever reasons. No big deal ... as long as everyone had/has fun, that's all that matters!

Cell Number: 494

*Bump*

BeeKay, for when you get the chance to update:

1) Mas vs. WJ
2) Ven needs a point for effortlessly kicking my butt so early in the game (I'm still having nightmares).

Congratulations to Sasha on winning the first Asylum Chess Tournament! Well done. He beat me square and fair, and has therefore earned the title...kudos, man.

We gonna start another?

Congrats Sasha!

I'm for starting another tournament, this was fun

Suho: You never told me what a Sicilian have to do with chess, forgot it after the game ended.. Would you mind telling me now? I'm still curious

Thank you! The tournament was fun and I am in for another one.

Sasha »

Heard about your win, Sash. Congratulations.

Although, there's at least one other participant who remained undefeated throughout the tournament... not that I'm challenging your title, of course. I'm content with joint second place with WS.

As for a new tournament, my schedule for the next few months may prohibit that, although I would like to join one from the very beginning to see how well I could do.

Veneficuz: Ah yes, I had forgotten as well. The comment I made was actually a quote from 'The Princess Bride' (If you haven't read it already, I would highly recommend it), and it refers to the fact that I used a Sicilian opening--the Sicilian Dragon, to be specific. I believe WS used it in his game with Sash, with less success. You might want to take a look at that game to see an example of where it didn't work.

Contrats, Sash. You bass-turd.

Mas and I are nearing the end game. Even though I was pummeling him early in the game, he really had me sweating there for a bit. I was was getting over-confident and complacent. Next thing I knew, he had *major* position on me. Remind not to do that again.

Even though I didn't win against WebS, I still consider it a victory because I really gave him a run for his money. Man, that game was intense. I still have nightmares.

I won't be in for the next tourney. If we go for a third, I might be in for that one. Right now, I need a chess break.

I'm in, when/if ya'll start another one.

And congrats Sash.

BeeKay, If you would have read above you a few posts you would have seen that maninacan bowed out of the game, so that means I won my game, I hadn't left the tourney I just finished early

So I didn't win the entire tourney, but I got 2.5 wins *not to shabby lol*

You planning to update the page again so we can see who all the winners were? Any plans for the next tourney?
