CONGRATULATIONS TO BRIANGABE, TYPE NW CHAMPION FOR 2008-2009!!
It's time for the playoffs! We had a successful season split into two halves. xCaLeBx won the first half with TheKarazyVP and 777Godspeed grabbing 2nd and 3rd. In the second half BrianGabe honored us with his Redemption awesomeness and easily won the second half. Since TKVP and 777 had spots in the playoffs already, DaClock and BloodBoughtBeliever received the 2nd and 3rd seeds for the second half.
There will be three rounds to the playoffs. The quarterfinals will pit the 2nd and 3rd seeds from each half. The winners of the quarterfinals will meet the top seeds in the semi-finals with those winners meeting in the finals. The first two rounds will be in the best of 3 format with the finals being the best of 5. I realize finding available times for opponents to play is the biggest obstacle so I won't put a deadline on the playoffs. Ideally I'd like to have them finish in May. The brackets are below.

I'm usually on weekday afternoons. Sometimes a Mon, Wed or Thur evening can work for me too.
-
Kk I'll keep an eye out for ya on Mon/Thur.
Edit:
ATM I'm sick. I rather play when my cognitive abilities are at 100% let ya know when I get better.
-
Caleb,
I can get our game in this weekend. Saturday or Sunday sometime. Post or PM some times that would work or just hit me up when you see me here or on Hamachi.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
FYI, Caleb quit the boards and hasn't been seen since. In ROOT, he was replaced with another player. So, I doubt you'll get your game. :(
-
AHHH!! They're dropping like flies! :o
Okay, Mike, you move on to take on the winner of Gabe and RR. :)
-
Now if I can get gabe to delete his name in a giant hissy fit..... ;)
-
Now if I can get gabe to delete his name in a giant hissy fit..... ;)
That does it! I'm tired of The Garden Tomb, Christians getting tatoos/piercings, The Schaef and people correcting me when I make a ruling wrong. I'm quiting forever! >:( >:( >:(
... or not. ::)
:rollin:
-
Now if I can get gabe to delete his name in a giant hissy fit..... ;)
I'm getting a tatoo!!! >:( >:(
Now, now, calm down.
-
Well, I'm pierced, tattooed, not tired of beating or being beat by TGT, don't mind being corrected by The Schaef or others when I make wrong rulings, I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain....... ::) soooo, it's on with the winner of Gabe and RRs grueling playoff game.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
still waiting to beat RR or BrianGabe......... ;D
Godspeed,
Mike
-
RR, are you still sick? I haven't seen you on Hamachi in a long time. Let me know what time works for you to play in the near future.
-
Sorry, I got over my cold, then my sis got strep who I had to care for. I got a doc appointment today, how about friday 2pmish (EST)?
-
And I totally forgot. How bout just PM me when you are on XD
-
Im just gonna bow out of this. I love playing redemption but I have VBS+ other stuff so im slowing this down. Thanks for letting me get here and have a ton of fun though.
-
Aww, bummer RR. It looks like Gabe and I are such formidable opponents that everyone is passing on playing us. ::) *it is fun for me to dream* I can play next week Gabe. I'm on vacation and will be around to play.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
HOLY UNSUCCESSFUL BLOCKS, BATMAN!!!
Final Round match between Godspeed777 and briangabe?!
in the words of Vazzini
INCONCEIVABLE!!!
:rollin:

Id play you ;)

Mike and I played our first game of the playoffs tonight. I hadn't seen him online for quite some time so it was great to spend some time catching up. I won the game 5-1. He didn't draw many good enhancements but it was really a pretty evenly matched game.
-
I look forward to game 2 of the playoffs. It was definately an interesting game. I shuffled my defense early in the game and it never showed up properly again. I had plenty of Heroes show up to play, but enhs were sporadic to say the least. Being rusty from not playing didn't help me much at all facing Gabe. Any mistake is capitalized on by Gabe and.........well he doesn't make many of his own for me to do turnabout fair play. ::)
Godspeed,
Mike
-
I won our second type NW game tonight. I think we might have set a couple records for type NW. There were 22 Lost Souls rescued in our game, 17 by one player. Sorry, Scott, there were a couple "redeemed demons" even though we know those don't really count. ;)
Even though I opened up with a large BTN Hero who got a few free souls before Mike found defensers, I think Mike might have taken it easy on me so he could get outside to paintball with his kids. ;D
-
Yay Paintball. Who woulda thunk that it ranked right up there with noodling, foosball and washers as All-Time greatest sports. Much like kids who play football, soccer, baseball, softball, volleyball and so on.......my kids selected paintball as their sport to be involved in. Fortunately, my wife and I can participate in with them also. It is nice to be involved in the sport with the kids rather than being a glorified taxi to and from 3 different practices on opposite sides of town which is 20 minutes away. ::) I consider myself fortunate and blessed in this.
oh, and I wasn't taking it easy on Gabe. I left out a few key cards that woulda kept the score closer possibly, but he dominated from the beginning. If anything, I think he took it easy on me so I wouldn't cry at the blowout. ;D
I'm looking forward to going 5 games or possibly 7 if we decide we wanna keep playing playoff games. I don't believe STAMP has said best of 5 or best of 7....so we will wing it. ;)
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Hey, Mike, I put together a brand new deck for round three! ;D
-
In a standoff between two powerful defenses Mike rescued a Lost Soul as time ran out giving him the win for game three 1-0! Wow, what a game!!! ;D
-
If memory serves, Gabe had decked out and I still had 16 cards left in my deck. The game seemed a tad ponderous to me, with neither offense being a shining star, but mainly a defensive slip n slide to keep the LSs from being rescued. There were plenty of LSs drawn early in the game to be RA'd, but not that many RA's took place. An enjoyable game with a couple minor errors on my part and none that I can think of on Gabes. Now on to Playoff Game #4.
Godspeed,
Mike
-
Don't worry, guys, I'm not ignoring you. Just been busy. I've been enjoying reading the game recaps. :)
-
when's the next season?
-
Mike, I've gotta toss together a new deck before game 4. I should have one together soon.
Scott, have you thought about having a Type NW side event at Nationals? If you're ever going to promote this category that would be the time!
-
awww, no raven?
lol
-
Mike and I played game 4 tonight. My offense stunk. Fortunately for me his defense didn't show up very strong before time ran out. My defense survived because his deck was missing a key Hero in the brigade he was using that would have ruined my day. What a game. Final score was 4-1. Always a fun time. I'm looking forward to game 5.
-
Mike and I played another playoff game on Sunday night. It ended in a 2-2 tie thanks to me squeeking out a LS on my very last turn.
-
So let's see, I count it up as Gabe leading the Series 3-1-1? Mike can still win the last two and force a one-game sudden death. Good luck to both of you!
-
Mike and I played another fun NW game tonight. My new deck took a long time to set up and his protection Fortress was hiding. A provisioned Seeker of the Lost was able to "Shibboleth" away his entire defense at one point.
I gave up a few souls early, but then my "Fight by the Numbers banding" defense showed up (thanks to King Rehoboam and Captain of the Host). I was able to keep him from rescuing for a while after that.
I rescued a Lost Soul with only 4 minutes left, to take the lead and the win. The final score was 4-3.
You don't see stuff like this in T1 folks. Ya just don't. :laugh:
-
Wait... wouldn't captain negate his ability? Also, I'd like to join once next season starts. I'm assuming September?
-
Wait... wouldn't captain negate his ability?
King Rehab? Yes, his SA would be negated by Captain. Negating Rehab's SA still leaves the original battle FBTNb though. And it doesn't negate it if you have Gates in play.
Twice I got to give Mike my Hur for Captain to fight causing me to draw a new hand. ;D
-
Wow... gates just got so awesome, lol.
-
Scott, have you thought about having a Type NW side event at Nationals? If you're ever going to promote this category that would be the time!
-
Mike and Gabe, great competition! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. I'll get prizes mailed out soon.
I will continue Type NW in the fall.
Whether or not I have a competition at Nats will depend on whether Mike and Bryon need my help. I promised them back in the fall last year.

What category are you playing where you can rescue 17 lost souls in a game :scratch:

The title of this thread says it all - Type NW. The rules are on the first post.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
actually the first post is this, I thought I saw a post on type NW a while back put it seems to have gone.
-
Oh, right. My bad. This (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=14185.0) is the post you want.
-
Gabe summed it up nicely. I was able to jump out to a quick 3-0 lead and then struggled. My protection fort did not come out and protect leaving my defense vunerable and eventually gone. It was an enjoyable game that had many twists and turns. Gabes patience is a huge plus to his playing style as was evidenced during this game. Gabe you are a true Champion and I have been honored to play against you during these playoffs. There are far better players than I that should have been in the Championship, but I have enjoyed the opportunity. Congratulations Gabe. (if there is one more game then read this after we play.) lol ;D
-
If this starts up again then i might be interested in playing =)
-
Wait, I thought good cards and bad cards were equal? Did they change that? And I would LOVE to join when this restarts.
-
This thread updated. I'll start another thread for the 2009-2010 Type NW League as a placeholder since it won't start until Sep 8.
Thanks!
