This will be the next ROOT tournament for the 2012-2013 Season. If you want to join, post here telling me that, and I will give you a matchup for next week.
Players have suggested many rule modifications in the past. This month the rule modification is players choice:
"NJ Ban" - No deck is allowed to contain the New Jerusalem dominant card.
Reporting games: All posts/PMs made by 3 am EST Monday night will be counted as official.
Week 5 (Final) Matchups:
Guardian vs. jbeers
maniac vs. slug
Prof A vs. MKC
jmhartz vs. Westok
Prof U vs. Thomas Hunter
Rankings after Week 5:
Player: VPs (Diff)
1. The Guardian (17/8)
2. jbeers285 (16/6)
3. ProfessorAlstad (15.5/4)

I'll join and vote for NJ ban.

I'll join this month and also vote for NJ Ban.

Best 2/3 again. With NJ banned.
And I'm in. Double elim won't work great in ROOT. Though it would be a time saver.
-
In, NJ ban.
Also, why are we still using the ambiguous language of reporting by Monday night/Tuesday morning?
-
Also, why are we still using the ambiguous language of reporting by Monday night/Tuesday morning?
I think my predecessor used that language because he meant overnight on Monday (which would include both). Considering that there hasn't been anyone reporting games past 3am EST Tues morning (which would still be Mon night out west), it hasn't been an issue, so I haven't changed it.
-
It is an issue when someone reports 'Tuesday morning' and gets robbed of points because 'Monday night' is there as well. Why not just avoid the whole fiasco and make it a concrete set time as before, such as midnight CST or whatever?

In. NJ ban.

I think everyone understands that Mon night/Tue morning means during the nighttime of Mon and around midnight with a bit of flexibility for time zones. But if you want to assume that people are incapable of "deciphering around the social vernacular", then I can change it to be more objective :)
-
I think everyone understands
I stopped right there. Assumptions and lack of clarity doesn't promote an impartial tournament structure.
-
I will play this month. And I will go with the popular trend of voting for an NJ ban.

In with the NJ ban

When does this ROOT start?
Today, I've just been swamped. I just used Random.org to get the following sequence:
6
9
7
2
10
5
3
8
11
4
1
Games will be assigned based on that. I'll clean it up later, but you can go with that if you're in a hurry.

If someone else joins in the next day or so, hopefully you'll be able to play them to still get a game in this week :)

jmhartz beat me 5-3. He ripped a plot.

I won 5-3. It was a nailbiter, but I managed to pull it out. I ripped a Plot.

too late to sign up?

too late to sign up?
Nope, we're glad to have you. If you can play a game against The Guardian before Mon Midnight, then you can get points for this week. Otherwise, I'll schedule you an opponent for next week (which is only week 2, so plenty of time for you to come back).
-
Lost to RTSM 0-5.
-
well game 1 westy was up then rts crashed so we restarted and i won 5-0. bummer.

I defeated Westok 5-1. Good game.

Is it okay to play a T2 match if both players agree? I know this was allowed in the past for ROOT but wasn't sure if that was still the case.

Yep, if both players agree, then it's fine. This particular month it would still be important for the T2 decks to NOT include NJ though since that is the experiment we are currently testing.
-
Yep, we would still hold to that rule. Thanks! :thumbup:
-
I beat ProfA 5-1, another disconnect then i hit new game instead of reconnect...

Confirm. Silly mistake cost me probably 3 LSs, but I still don't think I could have won.
-
I defeated Slugfencer 7-0 (T2 match). My deck basically drew perfectly to counter his. :P

Confirmed. jmhartz played greatly and deserved the win. I also learned at least a couple things that will hopefully help me in the future :)
-
Man, I was crazy busy this week, and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down for another couple weeks. I'm going to have to drop. Enjoy the NJ ban everybody.
Give Westok the points for this round. My fault we couldn't find a time to play.

Jumping the gun here? I don't believe 3 am EST Monday night has transpired yet, has it?

Woops, you're totally right. I had received a couple PMs about ghosting (which I usually get right before I'm supposed to tally results) and I got my days confused.
Play on, and I'll reconfigure tomorrow if anything changes between now and then.
-
Hopefully Prof A and I stay matched up, because we were proactive and got our game in tonight. I won 5-2.
-
Thats one thing I like about Jordan, gets that game out quick. Good Hustle ProfA.
-
Hopefully Prof A and I stay matched up
I'm not sure yet. I need to hear back from both Thomas Hunter and MKC regarding a PM that they sent me this evening. Hopefully I can finalize the standings by tomorrow morning.

Rankings Fixed
My apologies to jmhartz as his game was changed due to the ghosting last week.
-
Defeated RTSManiac 5-4.
-
Lost 4-5 and i ripped a plot

confirmified. My favorite root game so far. My SoG was the second card to the bottom, and then he discarded it. :'( Great game though. 2-5.
-
I lost to MKC 5-3. He ripped a Plot.
-
Confirm, good game.
-
I guess he knows it already, but in case anyone else is curious, I defeated Prof U 5-4 in an intense game.
Also, I forgot to mention that I did rip a Plot in my first round vs. Westok.
-
T. Hunter was unavailable all weekend and then did not show for a 3hr window we set up for Monday.
-
I ended up having to leave during that time, and we couldn't sync up again that night. Give jbeers the points.

Is it too late to join this round? When does the next round start?

I lost to RTS 5-1.
-
confirm 5-1 me. ALL my lost souls were in the last 19 cards of my deck.
-
I defeated MKC 5-4 in a rather uneventful game. I made the only successful block by playing Grapes, and he played AotL in another rescue, but otherwise we walked in for free LSs every turn.
He also ripped a Plot but thanks to Isaiah, it didn't stop King Hezekiah from rescuing a LS. 8)
-
Confirm. Dat Grapes.

Sounds like the type of boring game that should rarely happen between top players such as yourselves. Hopefully both of your next games will be more fun :)

It was just one of those games where despite both of us using a decent amount of defense, we didn't draw any of it :P

Since we're on the last week it would probably be best to just wait until next week. Then you can start fresh with all of us. We'll be glad to have you join :)

Lost to Prof A 2-5.

I got Justin 5-3 he ripped a plot. I had a great draw and a couple mistakes on Justin's part helped me greatly. Thanks for the game.

Ghost points to jmhartz. I didn't have open time all weekend.. Sorry man.

I'm still discussing the results of one game last week, but will try to get the final results posted today.
I did get ghosted last week btw.
