Quick question: is Tabernacle in play? It's not in Lackey yet, but to my understanding it is legal for tournament play.
-
Tabernacle is legal, you can use the old one as a proxy for now. 8)

Sound good!

I beat Reth 5-3.
-
confirm
-
I won against Isaac 5-3.
-
Hobbit beat me 5-3. GG.
-
I concede 5-0 to Adevine. I'll have the ability to play games next week, but our schedules could not align and due to my unforeseen circumstances, I'll just concede for this round.
-
I lost to Koala 1-5.
-
I won in a really close game 5-4
-
Won a very thematic and fun game 5-3!
-
M. Pol won 5-3 in a good game. Congrats!
EDIT: Instaposted....confirmed!

Karius conceded to me 5-0 and still says he's not a cheater.

Since both your and Adevine's opponents were not able to play, I could switch the match-up so you guys get a game this week. I know its late in the week and it may not work out, but wanted to give you the option. Since there aren't any prizes for RooT currently, the whole purpose is to get games in for practice and deck testing so getting a free win kinda defeats that purpose. :P

If Adevine wants to do it then sure, otherwise I'm fine with this too.
-
Sounds good--the only difference it will make is who you play in round 2.
-
Assuming Josiah and Ben get their game in tonight, that would be all the match-ups complete. I had mentioned to megamanlan and Adevine about playing a match against each other since both their opponents were not able to play, but I think we could just move to round 2 (and they might end up playing each other anyway).
Also, dermo4christ will be joining and Reth will need to take a couple weeks off due to a vacation. With the situation involving JD, that will put us at an odd number for Round 2, but I can certainly do a game (or if anyone else thinks they may not be available for Round 2, I'll put them as the bye).
Well done getting the games in everyone! 8)
-
I'm glad you got RooT up and running again. It's the best way for me to learn about the game and stay connected to the community because I don't have a play group anymore.
-
No problem--hope your move goes smoothly and eventually you'll be able to start a new group in your new location (or at least find one somewhat close to you). :)

I am good with it :) I am good in the evenings!

Okay, if you guys want to try and play tonight that would work, otherwise I'll just move us to round 2 since all the other matches should be done.

I can play any time after 8:30 CST if that works.
-
Justin I shot you a PM about Root
-
Isildur is joining RooT for Round 2 so that will put us back at an even number. 8)
-
Bmc and I are working to get past my tech issue we will play saturday
-
Sounds good.
-
I think it best if we move on...I'll take the "win" by default. Hope Red is able to come back this next week.
-
Well the other game was postponed until Saturday so if you guys have a chance to play by then, great, if not we'll move to round 2.
-
I'll be able to play starting next week. As it stands I have no access to wifi and am posting off phone 3G. Will resume university next week, and will be in a more metropolitan area with abounding free wifi.

I can play anything Sat.

Awesome, well we can try! :)

Round 2 pairings are posted on the top post. Rankings are on post #2.
-
I got Isildur 5-3.
-
Pol beat me 5-0
-
Megamanian let me know when you can play! :)
-
I beat Jayden 5-2.
-
I beat Soul Seeker 4-3. We got disconnected and he had to go, but had it been resolved, it would have been a 5-4 win for me. You can verify with him, but he will be unavailable for the rest of the day.
-
I have contacted Hiatus.
-
I won 5-3.

Confirmed!

I just got home from the baseball game, and I do confirm this. It was a great game and a lot of fun.
On a side note, I suggest players get Twitch Call while playing Lackey....in addition to speeding the game up, I thought it added something special to be able to talk to your opponent. I thought that it added the fellowship aspect to an online game which I enjoy most about Redemption.
-
Skype works pretty good as well 8)
-
https://discordapp.com/ (https://discordapp.com/) I'll just put that there...
-
I just realized that ROOT is still going strong here. That's really great guys. Keep up the good work :)
-
It went dormant for a couple months (the previous one ended right before the start of April), but we got it going again and will hopefully keep it up throughout the tournament season.
-
I am going to bow out of ROOT. My time is just not where it needs to be to be a part of this.
-
Skype/Discord/Teamspeak/Whatever will never be convenient while there are so many of them.
-
waste of time to voice chat with me ;) all I ever say on lackey is "ra", "mi?", "yi", and "I win hehe"

Maybe, but you're a pretty quiet opponent in real life too, so you're the exception?
-
bmc dropped out and conceded to me apparently.
-
I lost 2 - 5

I defeated Mitch 5-4

I bow out. Too busy folks.

It looks like Adevine wanted to bow out as well. Does that change the pairings at all?
-
He initially thought he would need to, but I chatted with him after that and my impression was that he wanted to continue (and he ended up playing his round 2 game after that).
If he does end up withdrawing then I'll figure something else out.
-
I'm good!! :)

I won 5-3

Anyone heard from Josiah? I pm'd him on Monday but haven't heard back.
-
I defeated Isildur 5-0
-
Gonna concede on my game this round.
-

Sorry Jayden, I concede on a ghost. If you still want to play a game for fun I am all for it.
-
I messaged MitchRobStew last Thursday, but haven't heard anything. I doubt we will get our game in by tonight.
-
Since Lackey has been down for this afternoon and evening, and there's still a lot of games left, I will extend the deadline for round 3 until this Wednesday at 10 pm CST. We will then start round 4 on Thursday.
Since there's no prizes, the idea is just to get some games in with people you may not normally play against, so just trying to promote that. 8)

It's all good man. Since the deadline is extended would you be able to play at some point Wednesday afternoon?
-
Unfortunately, Mr. Hiatus and I could not meet up to play our game.
-
Polarius and I were not able to play our game. Either way of distributing points seems the same, so I'll ghost him.
-
Mega and I were not able to get ours in unfortunately.
-
Same with Adevine and me - we kept not being able to make a scheduled work. I know he said he conceded this game, but I'll give him the points - I rescheduled first AND more often, so he has the better claim >:)
-
It's sad, but work tends to get in the way of a lot.

Pretty disappointing that only 2 games out of 8 were played...kinda bummed that I spend time organizing so that people can get games in only to see such low participation.
Before I go any further, let me say that I'm not pointing fingers or calling anyone out. I'm also not asking anyone to bow out because the whole point is to find a way for people to gain experience, learn new strategies (and how to play against them) and play against people from other areas/playgroups. Hopefully it's just an aberration that perhaps had something to do with school and other fall activities beginning this time of year, and consequently this was just a bad week schedule-wise for a lot of players.
However, if people think this might continue then it might behoove us to consider changing up the RooT format. Are people finding they have no time at all for online play or is it just a struggle to get two specific schedules to line up? If we changed RooT to an "open play" style, would that be of interest? Are people only truly interested in playing if there is prize support?
I'll put together the week 4 pairings and we'll see how that goes, but would appreciate some feedback.
-
An open play style might be a good idea. If people can post when there online or when they are usually online that would be best.

Sorry! I know for me it is just hard getting the schedules to mesh. I work 40+ a week at a "normal" job, plus pastor full time, plus working on my Masters degree, plus a family of 6 :) So for me I suppose its a bit of overload on my part. Probably should not have signed up until I knew for sure I could devote to it. I apologize, but thanks for all your hard work though on getting things together!!
-
I'm going to ghost Megamanlan this week and drop out. School is getting too busy. And FWIW, prizes would not have kept me in. My guess is everyone was excited to play redemption after nationals and wanted too... life kicks in and you check your priority list, in which redemption is pretty low. Like going to a buffet and taking everything that looks good but only finishing half of it. I don't know if an open format is going to be any different than how people are finding pick up games online already.

I lost (again) to Soul Seeker 2 : 5 :( - but was a hard and epic fight though!

I won't be home from working until pretty late tomorrow so if anyone wants to try and get their game in tomorrow night, I won't be updating until Friday morning or afternoon. 8)

I apologize this time of year is busy for me at church with all we have going on for different events, so I will not be able to go any further. I apologize for any inconvenience. :-\

I seem to have been ghosted :(
-
Isaac beat me 5-1.
-
Tried to contact my opponent but he never answered back....no game again...for the third round on a row!!!
-
In Adevine's defense I also couldn't play our game this week :(
I had a orchestral audition and started another teaching gig, and I just couldn't find the time to contact him. I should be good to play Round 4 this week!
