The Second Tournament of the Red Lions Vol. 3: Calamity Before the Storm

Wyborn · #21

OoC: It ain't midnight in most time zones, bucky. You can probably still drop a post if you really wanna. -OoC

Scripture · #22

I thought we went by Eastern time? I want to be conscious tomorrow, though, so I'm off.

Galefore · #23

well, looks like I don't have very much to judge this time. Expect my judgement to not be so grossly procrastinated this time...

Wyborn · #24

Well yeah, we averaged about three posts apiece, little less, in this round. Not a whole lot of material needs to be covered.

I am so sorry.

Bomby · #25

Mine will be up tomorrow night.

Alex · #26

The funny thing about "tomorrow" is that it's always on the way, but never actually arrives.

Scripture · #27

You guys should just not make claims of when you'll get them done, so when the results are up, we'll all be pleasantly surprised.

Bomby · #28

Like I was watching Chungking Express tonight?

Erdawn Il Deus · #29

Very little "Express" about it.

Wyborn · #30

Hey Repster, I realized what you forgot about this tournament. After it's all over, remind me to send you and Galefore a PM.

Galefore · #31

Damn, please accept my apologies. We were without a printer for the last week, so I had to wait to get the battles in a readable state. Accept my apologies, I beg...

Scripture · #32

There's really not enough there to burn your eyes out in the first place.

Galefore · #33

True, but I like to have them in a place where I can read them with a Word Processor on at the same time, and such. My mom's computer glitches when I try to do that here, since it's pretty screwed and tends to dislike multitasking.

Erdawn Il Deus · #34

My God.

Scripture · #35

I blame Erdawn for writing so bloody much. That's the real problem here.

Galefore · #36

Blech.

The round of laziness and lacking… Not only on the judge’s parts, but also seemingly on our fighters’ parts. Still, it was enjoyable enough as a diversion. The true carnage begins next round.

Also, it looks like a repeat is going to be inevitable. Oh well. Erdawn versus Wyborn has always been a great conflict anyway…

*reads Scrip’s posts* … Okay. Maybe not. *judges*

Erdawn versus Repster.

Erdawn: Hmm, well. This was interesting. Using disease for violence, a less hands-on approach but more effective than almost any other I can think of. There were no problems… Not necessarily a standout performance from your others, but is was enough to advance you to the finals. A fine job all around.

Repster: Bah, well, I enjoyed seeing the maiden of bones in action again. Admittedly, your performance this round seems to be lacking in comparison to the Aidan stuff last round, but really, who WASN’T lacking this round? A nice enough job, though. I hand this one to Erdawn.

Winner: Erdawn.

Wyborn versus Scripture.

Wyborn: Nice use of Kratos. The God of War wasn’t necessarily at his most brutal here, but it worked very well nonetheless. Again, the overall ho-hum of this round seems to have even affected you…. And that is very uncommon in this kind of thing.

Scripture: Well, in all honesty, you were pretty much controlling this round. I enjoyed it quite enough to give you the win in terms of creativity and brutality. Thus, great job and of course….

Winner: Scripture

If you would, Galefore, I would like some pointers on where I was slacking and how I could have been more brutal - particularly in my last post.

Galefore · #38

^Uh... That's out of my league. I meant no insult... I can't really point out anything that would make sense. It just felt a little... Less than your usual, you know? also, the last post was fine in terms of brutality. It just didn't feel as brutal as usal. It would have been hard being brutal to a robotic entity, so I assumed that much. I felt like, for some reason, I could better feel Scrip's work... And the post just felt more brutal.

Please, do not take offense to my judging. I can offer no help, because honestly, even THAT much surpassed some of my crap. The last post was indeed brutal, but in the end, as close as it was, I felt as if Scripture won.

Wyborn · #39

No, no, no. It's not that. I accept your judgment. I'm merely looking for advice - because what you're describing is a problem of style. I'm just asking for advice on how I could have been more brutal than what I did in my last post without just ripping him in half at the waist.

^Don't worry Wyborn, I left him bodiless, and he was still able to beat me.....
