I am super pumped about this. Ya'll have no idea how bad I've wanted to return. (Listen to me. I sound like a veteran or some shit.)
NightCast, no punches below the waist please. I don't want to be castrated because you don't know how to clip your nails.
That would be out of the ordinary for Morgoth. He prefers evisceration.
One thread long enough to require judgment... one.

Yo Visla, I know ur naysayin' the tournament, and imma let you finish, but Christoph was one of the best tournament naysayers of all time. =p
At least all of my predictions came true.
Shenanigans aside, I can’t say that I’m entirely surprised by this, though a bit disappointed. This horse has been beaten to death (by me, mostly), but two weeks isn’t really enough, especially this time of year, when many members have classes. It’s far to easy for life to come up and cause a player to lose a handful of days. At that point, many players would just give up rather than waste time and effort trying in vain to finish a battle. Of course, there could be plenty of other reasons for why this round was such a flop. Maybe it was all my fault, since every single person that I predicted would lose ended up dropping out, and the one battle I couldn’t call actually reached ten posts. It’s all part of my vast right-wing conspiracy. >.>
On the bright side: hopefully this means that round three will start very soon.

Thanks for letting me finish. If two weeks isn't long enough, tournaments are impossible. Making them any longer would mean there would be one Althanas tournament, the Althanas Annual. Damned thing would take a whole year.Originally Posted by Christoph
The sequential-post battle format all but ensures a high percentage of drop outs and incomplete threads. After all the disqualifications, I think the tournament is more a measure of endurance and fortuity in having opponents drop than anything even approaching literary skill.
Finally, I propose a race between Task and whoever is judging Task's thread. Can Task close out the topics from round one before his thread from round two is judged? I'm not sure who to bet on in this one.

Close out? Whatcha mean close out? Did I miss something? If you're talking bout exp and rewards in general, I'm going to be adding those today. Also, there are two threads being judged, I've got one and Duffy's got the other. So, those should be done by monday at the latest, I believe, by both of us.
Are you counting Amaril's thread? It looks like he "withdrew" in his last post.

Yeah, I'm counting it. I'm doing the condensed rubric and may or may not reward rewards depending on how well I thought it was written.
It's like the janitor making a spill just so he can clean it up. :P

Or messing up a display of jewelry so you have something to do at work. I do both...
