State of Round 1 - We are still missing games for the following matchups

TurtleSnatcher (pezradar.gbx) vs fatty (Robert.fatty)
shagg_187 (shagg.gaf) vs valenti (valenti.valenti)
Wedge7 (wedge.wedge) vs AbortedWalrusFetus (WalrusFetus.aborted)

fatty, shagg, and AbortedWalrusFetus have yet to check in. Remember that the deadline is this Sunday at Noon EST.

I also need replays and race choices from nilbog (vautrin) vs Milabrega.

Bracket is currently updated. Participants who are ready for Round 2 as always, may begin their matchups early if they want. Deadline for Round 2 is Wedsneday at Noon EST.

I dun wanna speak out of turn... but... I think TurtleSnatcher (Pezradar) is looking for someone to replace him. I recall him mentioning a few times that he wouldn't be able to put in the time to complete his matches during the next couple weeks due to an SF4 tourney he is in.

I'd check in for round 2, but I'm going camping tomorrow at noon for the weekend. Demi are you good to go during the week before Wednesday? I'll probably be good for Monday or Tuesday.

Haha, well good ones and bad ones. Here's some examples I was thinking of.

My contribution:

The "Turtle Power" Award for Most Effective use of Turtling.
The "Shell Shocked" Award for Least Effective use of Turtling.
The "Teh Pwnerer" Award for Best Micro-ing.
The "Fire and Forget" Award for Worst Micro-ing.
The "SimCity" Award for Best Macro-ing.
The "You're Fired" Award for Worst Macro-ing
The "Skynet" Award for Most Nukes Used in a game.
The "Pip-Boy" Award for Most Effective Use of a Nuke(s).
The "Quincy Taggart" Award for Best Comeback in a game.
The "I'll Be Back" Award for Best Overall Comeback in a round.
The "Chill Out, Dickwad" Award for Most Inventive Unit Combination.
The "Hudson" Award for Best Last Stand.
The "Here's My Invitation" Award for Best Surprise Attack.
The "72 Virgins" Award for Best Use of Banelings.
The "War of the Worlds" Award for Most Kills by a Collosus.

Please excuse any shitty references (or obscure ones). Hats off to anyone who gets all of them, although most of them are pretty much general GAF knowledge. Clearly I had Terminator on my mind (And Arnold in general apparently). If you have better ideas for names of these awards feel free to overrule my stupid names, but I think at the very least the categories are decent. I was contemplating "Never Give Up, Never Surrender" instead of "Quincy Taggart" but thought it was shorter that way...so yeah.

Are you just going to straight concede? Or do you think you might be able to do some matches in the next couple of weeks?

Concede.

Val - I honestly thought it would have been done much faster as opposed to weeks.. I hate tourneys like that.. Dont wanna keep having to check back in and stuff.

I could agree with that. If fatty and Hazaro can organize a match, I'll go ahead and swap places. But if that doesn't happen within the deadline, I'll just set both of Turtle's next matches as automatic losses.

I think that all depends on fatty, though. His last check in was fairly late, and I don't think he's posted much in the beta thread.

PyroGX checking in although I'd prefer to have tonight and some of tomorrow to practice some more if that's okay Demi; if you can't play tomorrow though I'm down to play tonight.
