Got a win vs Nate in a quick 2-hand game.

Only Demascus, Ncann and onslaught to finish out my horrible showing in this tournament.

Ncannelora match report: He accused me of cheating after the game crashed, there is a really long log that I'll save everyone from reading here. Overtime from the forums was watching our match live and if he wants to give his side of the story later he can, but uh yeah. He would like to resume the match previous to a point where I've already shown him a screenshot of my hand and told him how I would win the game from there, but that's pretty dumb. I'm also not keen on replaying a match with someone who asked if I would like to give him the win because his imaginary recap (nothing in the game log supports this) has me drawing an extra card, so I dunno.


I was over at Onslaught's place today picking up my printed MARVELS set(HUGE THANKS AGAIN), and stayed a while to play some games and watch him play fellow forum members in the OPO tourney.

For the Ncannelora incident; Onslaught was being nice and playing casually, and was even willing to do a rematch until Ncannelora basically called him a cheater/hacker...

Demacus

The reason Domino's tripwire worked was because he fired off the any-power teamwork. +0/+0 follow ups. Clean block was all I needed to trip. I am on MSN Dr.D I've been watching my window for opponents, but have not seen any activity from you, Ncann, or Onslaught.

Okay, come on people! This is a fun online affair with no prize or stakes, I really doubt any one is cheating. Friendly rivalry is all well and good, but I think the name-calling and accusations are going a little too far. (Yes, I am not guiltless on that front either, but I think it's time we all simmered down and just had some fun.)

Final Round Robin report for Big Bad Harve - 8-1

Onslaught and I met on the field of battle for the first time, in a match where my team did what it does best. Truth be told, I was expecting a total manhandling by his team, and possibly will should we meet again in the finals. Onslaught's team is one I have faced before by other players, and has always given my Trick or Treaters a little trouble. The massive chain attacks and KO event can be troublesome to me. Thankfully, the cards were in my favour this time.

As you all know, I was running my Max 6 deck of: X-babies, Ghost Rider, Morbius and Spider Woman with Krakoa as my site.
Onslaught has: X-babies, Beyonder, White Queen, 3 Stat Magneto, with Age of Apocalypse as his site.

ROUND 1:
LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER

My key event came up right off, and the Overpower Gods granted me a murderous hand for it. One discard apiece, a lil longshot for him and a level 2 energy for me.

He leads with A-next on Ghost Rider followed by Lil Phoenix on Ghost Rider. I let both connect. Risky, but my defense this hand is minimal, but I have a wolverine activator with a snikt to shift a key attack but other than that I want to save everything for the offensive and hopefully KO a character.

I retaliate with Blood Hunger against the X-babies. I'm hoping to flush that much more defense, because he certainly cannot let this card hit. He negates it with lil longshot! Flushed his negate! Better than I could have hoped for.

He hits Ghost Rider again with a level 2 strength. I again let it hit. I play Ghost Rider's draw 3, which hopefully he can't stop with his site. Success... I take three more cards. All keepers. I have him over a barrel now.

He drops an 8 energy power card on Ghost Rider for the Kill. Snikt shifts that harmlessly to the Babies.

I launch a Teamwork at White Queen. Hits, followed by a level 2 multi which also hits. He tosses a level 6 energy at Ghost Rider, for a total of 19 cumulative. He's hurtin'.

I retaliate with another teamwork, killing White Queen but the follow up is stopped by an X-man street prophet from the site.

Onslaught is out of cards and passes, and I still have 3 cards, enough for a spectrum kill on Beyonder - an intellect ally, savage combat and lil colossus.

With that done, we move on to.

ROUND 2

Onslaught discards a White Queen special and a TW only usable by White queen. I lose a lil longshot.

We place away, and he bets 1, I bet 2. He concedes before battle.

ROUND 3
3 discards for me, only 1 for Onslaught. We place a few each, and this time I bet 1, he bets 3. I decline to draw and concede before battle

ROUND 4
NO CARDS WITH THE WORD TEAMMATE MAY BE PLAYED
and
REMOVE ONE HIT FROM EVERY CHARACTER WITH AN INHERENT ABILITY

The event heals Ghost Rider up of that AP 7 and the Babies of that 8 energy, and Onslaughts' event only locks two cards, a Rescue Operation and a Teamwork. Again we place a few, but Onslaught surprises me by going 5 for the win! Uh oh, what's he got that can hurt me? Even with 3 discards, my firepower is substantial.

I draw three from his venture - bad luck, my miracle worker Alive event and a 2nd rescue operation are pitched.

He tosses Magnetic devastation at Morbius, which I block with a 4 multi, followed by a multi 5, which I stop with Thunderbird's Keen senses, drawing another card. It's a keeper. I retaliate with a 3 fighting on Magneto. He stops it with Acrobatics, forcing all of my attacks to the babies now.

Power Flux on Morbius. I let it hit. I return fire with a Living Vampire on the babies. He calls in Morph for the Power Mimic, copying Acrobatics and thus blocking off his team. I comment on a very nice play. Fortunately, I'm holding a morbius negate and have a lil longshot placed, so I'm not worried.

He tosses a 4 multi at Morbius. I let it land, and use Undead Stamina to remove the acrobatics on Magneto. He let's it happen, then promptly concedes before I can do any damage to Magneto.

ROUND 5
HEROES AVENGE MURDER

He KO's the X-babies and I KO Morbius, costing me a lone numerical avoid. Lots of firepower this hand, and card advantage. Time to go for it. I place nothing and bet 5 for the win. He draws his cards, one of his discards is a Beast activator, which tips me off to his defense.

I lead off with Lil Rogue to flush that negate, which he does. Now hope is that he doesn't have an activator with a pure avoid, so I can take an easy win. If so, I have to slog it out. I really didn't plan to win this round, I was simply betting to prevent him from conceding so I could kill Magneto.

He hits Spider Woman with Magnetic devastation. I let it hit. No follow up. I retaliate with Demon Chain, which he takes, followed by Penance stare, costing him a placed 7 energy power card, and the ability to attack. We poke at each other for a bit, before deciding that it's over as I still have lil longshot and can remove the 4 on Spider woman any time for the win.

And that is that. Thanks for the game Onslaught! Good to meet you in battle at last. :)


On a side note, it was brought up by Onslaught during our game when I played the AP teamwork that it was not an 'officially' released card. This much is true, but for our purposes they are allowed in the tourney. Just think of the classic inserts as 'Marvels' especially since the AP teamwork was slotted for reprint in the Marvels any way.

I don't want to speak for Breadman, but if you aren't using the AP teamwork because you weren't sure, I'd say add it in (if you're inclined to). But the decision is ultimately Breadmaster's. It's important to keep things fair.

I am now done. See everyone in the finals!

I've deleted my post about my game w/Onslaught because I realize the futility of arguing on the forum. I've given my side of the story to Breadmaster; it seems likely that Onslaught has as well. I'll be content with Breadmaster's direction.

big bad harv 8-1
breadmaster 6-2 (onslaught)
oscorp 6-3
bios 3-3 (nate/ncannelora/onslaught)
onslaught 2-1 *a bunch
ncannelora 3-2 (drd/demacus/bios/onslaught)
kyle 2-6 (nate)
nate grey 1-5 (kyle/bios/onslaught)
dr. death 2-4 (demacus/ncannelora/onslaught)
demacus 0-6 (drd/ncannelora/onslaught)

i looked at the documents regarding the ncannelora/onslaught match

it's a little harsh to say ncann accused onslaught of cheating/hacking.  it seems he's concernded that there's a card in on's hand unaccounted for.  he doesn't say how it got there.  the dispute seems to be about the total pitched during the discard phase. 

it seems this can be resolved by going back and resuming from the start of the previous hand.  onslaught seems reluctant to do this, as he tipped his hand after the crash.  from the chat logs, this seems to be an unsolicited reveal of your hand. 

also, the issue about the unblockable magneto 11 for the kill (if ncann concedes) seems to be invalid.  you both agree in the chat that it was already played and countered by x's 'no specials' special. 

the only ruling i can see, is that you guys resume from the start of the crashed hand, play it out the same way, and resume from the crash.  if ncannelora wants to concede based on the hand revealed, that's his right.  it's pretty easy to argue that he'd never continue the battle anyway if the amount of cards in hand is correct.  (iirc, onslaught pitched an 8 power card dupe, so ncann knew he couldn't win venture...why risk more damage to x?)

i'm going to say, if ncann is willing to resume, and onslaught is not, i'll give the win to ncann. 

if anyone else has thoughts about this, i'd be glad to hear em.  this decision is by no means set in stone (but time is running out on the tourney:  ~1.5 days left)

Oscorp

Onslaught and I had a dispute in our first match.  And ended up replaying the full game.  I don't see why the same thing can't be done again in this case if one is concerned about the other having gained an advantage.

Alright Guys, Well I'm heading to San Diego in less than 24-hours. I have reached out to Demascus and Ncann, but couldn't find them on MSN this week, and got no responses when i saw them on Hamachi.

I wasn't going to make top 4 even if i win my last 3 games. I don't know how this is handled, but i would of really loved to play Ncann. Anyway, I guess this means i am out, unless someone contacts me tonight. Enjoy the rest of the tournament everyone, I will be back Monday with a report on the San Diego Overpower Meet-up.

breadmaster

Oscorp

I think that we should make it 12 pm for the west coast guys as well...  it's not like we're gonna play our playoff matches at 3AM eastern time.

Just to give them a little more time.

@drdeath25,

I am now home and ready to play anyone I still need to play.  I am on MSN as kfinneg@hotmail.com

drdeath25

Ncann - I'll be available all night tonight until about Midnight.

Demascus - I really want to play you tonight also, I dont see you on MSN right now, though.

Onslaught

Demascus if you're reading this I'll be on Hamachi until 6 PM. Who else do I have to play by the deadline? I am leaving for San Diego in like 36 hours, but if I take my laptop I can get in some quick matches Wednesday night.

On a side note, when is the elimination stuff happening? I'll be out of town (for the Evolution fighting game tournament if anyone here knows what that is) the week after Comic Con, so this may all be moot. Either way, I'd still like to finish out all my matches, so PM me if we haven't played yet.

Onslaught, how can I contact you online? Hamachi doesn't work with my pc... We need to resume our game.
