mysticjuicer 4 - 1 Southpaw Hare
I won the first 3 matches, SPH bodied me in the 4th with a checkmate setup to finish it, and then I took the fifth match with a probably-checkmate setup

Me and "Jonny D" Jonny "Jonny D" D will be squaring off tonight at 5:00 P.M. CDT/6:00 P.M. EDT. One of us is about to be rocked like a hurricane. I'm experiencing a cyclone of emotional turbulence. Something something tornado additional spin joke.

flagrantangles wins 4-2 versus Bomber678 - I got off to a right good start here but then I managed to fumble all of my pasta. We came down to his K-Spin versus my known Consent of the Governed. He played the King honestly and I played Consent honestly. It was a cordial meeting UNTIL HE DODGED ME. After that, his Crosswise Toss finished me off for exactsies. - He started off much better than I did but then I was able to get my foot in the door and start wreaking havoc. He used a joker to get out of Spin and then, while he was knocked down, taxed Attacks and blocked odd. I attacked odd and gave him so many GD cards. After that, I suspected a throw so I BONKED HIM. It was the only Righteous Zeal bonk of the game, as I recall. I spin a K, lie and reveal a 3 which pokes or maybe prods his 8 throw. I combo into Q++ for exactsies. - I poke out an early throw and get the washing machine loaded. Unfortunately, my J-Spin game has been off. I tried to throw him and he punched me in the titties with a mealy 6 and then he got his spin going. It wasn't long-lived, but it did the delay the game in such a way as let him build a hand a bit. I kept trying to conserve a straight in my hand so that I could land it on him and that made some of my decisions pretty bad. I shouldn't have let it warp my play so much. Come the end, he had a very significant lifelead and I just couldn't carve a victory out. - Bomber rolls out the early Patriot Mirror into my block. I 7-throw into the 7-throw/dodge mixup. We tech and I'm out, baby. After that, we clash 3's. He spins Q and I spin J. We each need to see some kind of mechanic to get our washing machines working again. This game generally progresses a bit more slowly than our others. Eventually, I claw out a victory after clashing a Patriot Mirror into a Cold War standoff. - Things progress pretty normally but I have a slight edge. I land a Patriot Mirror and he attacks and jokers out of it. The following turn we each attack with a 5 and now we have clashing spins. I have the lifelead so I declare that I'm spinning a K. In response, he decides to spin a Queen. I'm thinking through the spin permutations and I realize that if he leads the Queen attack side and I lead King dodge side, I win. He taxes the attacks that will defeat his Queen and I tax the throws that will beat my King. Because of this, I feel confident that he will use the old Quince/DeGrey trick of combat revealing the option that isn't taxed and spin into the other one as necessary. I lead my King dodge-side first. Lo and behold, we each avoid paying taxes and I win the combat. #justquincethings I spin some K's. He defeats one but then I'm right back into it. I spin a K and win the combat for only 9 damage. I spin another K and attack with a 3 and then combo into a 3 Ace Consent of the Governed for lethal. #gooddraws - He gets in with an early throw but then I attack out of his K-spin beating his 5 with my own 3. I go into my own K and win combat. After that I spin Q but get punched out. Bomber retaliates by spinning his King again. I block so that his Spin is as fruitless as possible. He spins a Jack and I tax throws and then play a dodge. He leads his J dodge first so I once again deprive him of the benefits of spin. I block a Patriot Mirror and he shows me a cheeky 3-attack/7-throw mixup. I get my 3-dodge thrown! He spins a Q and then blocks so that he can get cards. I oblige him by attacking into it. Then I sense a throw window so I ignore my senses and chuck a Patriot Mirror at him, which he blocks. I lead into Q-Spin and play Patriot Mirror which he also does. I go for the MIrror and he goes for J-Spin. I reflexively choose my dodge when he reveals his J though I should have let Bomber choose first. He opts not to spin his card and attacks into my dodge. #oops I throw him and spin a Queen again. He attacks with Patriot Mirror into my dodge and then jokers my follow up. RUDE. We are tied for life at 45. I play defensively and he throws me and leads into a Q++. OUCH. After than he powers up some 8's for Consent. And then spins a King and taxes throws. I throw my arms off and snatch him out of the air. I also throw into a Q++ so now we're at tied life totals again. I spin MY King this time around. I tax Attacks and Throws so I can be extra tricky! I play the King honestly and I am met by some hot Consent of the Governed action. I dodge into a throw and things are tight. I spin another K. WHAT DO?! I play honestly and then am scooped by a 7. I joker the followup since it could be lethal. He lets it rock and I'm on the ground. He spins a Jack. I'm scared out of my skin right now. I block odd to protect myself and he plays the Jack dodge-side first and then spins into my block to keep Spin going with another Jack. He taxes dodges and I tax attacks. I'm hovering between attacking and dodging. I go for the dodge and avoid a Patriot Mirror. I play a Q++ for the lethal! Thank heavens he didn't have the joker! Also, it was quite apparent to me that Bomber and I knew how to play the Joker game. I suppose we maybe could have bluffed a bit more, but, by and large, we attacked into Spins or Patriot Mirror turns and then jokered whatever followed the inevitable dodge so as to get out of Spin. It was interesting playing the mirror this time around because there was less of a focus on the K-Spin/7-throw mixup then when I played with Jonny D. GGs Bomber678

snoc beats Kraetyz 4-2
I got to 3-0 up, then the runback started and I lost a couple in succession, including one after Kraetyz went down to 0 cards in the endgame. I played a J into a 4 block, spun a King because a lot of fast throws were gone and I figured it was pretty unlikely his 3 cards next turn would beat my King-spin. Unfortunately he'd topdecked both an 8 and a J, so even my backup plan of Patriot Mirror wasn't 100% safe. Great games, lots of low-hand slugging things out!

It was a lovely set! Hopefully the next one of these will feature a character that I can wrap my head around. For some reason no matter how much I can think about how to play quince I never seem to manage with the delivery.

... and they're out! I may have been a silly and said "Sunday 3rd December" in some of them, which of course doesn't exist. As you should have worked out by now, you have until the night of Sunday 4th/Monday 5th to play your games. Also, I'll be a bit more proactive with sending out conversations for the losers' bracket so that we don't have someone sitting waiting to play in the grand finals for too long, so be ready for that.

ExSeth 4-3 over Zqxx
I took the first two games, Zqxx took the third, then I took the fourth, but he ran back games 5 and 6, so we made it all the way to match point. Zqxx was ahead for most of the last game, but in the end I jokered a lethal combo, then ran back a couple good Kingspins and, on the last turn, with no spins revealed for either side, I was at 14 health with two jokers in my discard, and Zqxx was at 10 with known dodges and Aces in my hand. I snuck Consent of the Governed in under a 7 throw, and managed to make it out alive. Excellent set, great plays on both sides.
I'm looking forward to (and quite terrified of) fighting the winner of Snoc and Flagrantangles in the next round as this tourney starts to spiral towards its conclusions.

mysticjuicer 4 - 0 Jonny D
ggs Jonny D. games were much closer than the final score would make it seem. some clutch moments on both sides, including a hype double-spin stand-off. totally cocked up a checkmate in one game, but managed to drop the spaghetti into my pants pockets and fanny pack.

snoc beats flagrantangles 4-1! As always a pleasure to do battle. My low hand all in damage Quince continues to get results. The only loss was when I tried to actually block and build a hand instead of just go aggro from the start. A great ending with a topdecked CotG clash too!
With my TO hat on, I'd like to encourage everyone to please please play your losers' matches as quickly as you can. Scheduling is going to start to get tricky as people will have family commitments at this time of year, and if possible it'd be good to get this whole thing wrapped up before Christmas. If you know who your next opponent is when you finish a game, no need to wait for me to create a scheduling conversation, just go ahead and do it (but do remember to include myself and mysticjuicer!). I hope everyone's enjoying themselves still, and thanks a lot for playing.
