AG Tourney 8 spoilers! From: ryu70@aol.com (Ryu70) Date: Sat, 10 Jun 1995 00:00:00 +0000 AG Tourney 8 partial results SPOILERS FOLLOW!!! DO NOT read ahead if you want to be surprised with results next Monday or so.... I don't have the time to type up all the groups, but if you'd like to know how you did in a certain category, email me and I'll be glad to look it up for you. Mike (ryu70@aol.com) Well, this tourney I knew I'd end up in the top group with Golden in all three categories. I chose Coeus and my old spud bud Paz as my Mixed and Doubles partner. Main reasons being they're pretty incredible dodgers. I also knew Sten/Nigel were teaming up as the first ever 'pure' fighter/magic user combo in the top group, so I wanted to make sure they didn't steal the show! Special prizes for top 5 Singles groups only: No Blink Necklace, Purple and Gold Scroll, Glissen's Red Bauble, Manor House in Ciston, and Shimmering Ruby (allows access to level two of Cairn). As usual, if first get random selected special item and 500gc, 2nd place get 200gc. SINGLES Top group-- Sten, Coeus, Asa, Golden, Ripjack, Winterslope, Hawk, Deathstalker 1st: Ripjack 2nd: Sten (Notes: I had my old bud Rip on the ropes in the 1st round, could have gone either way, but the intangibles came up in his favor (again!!). Sten went without Power this tourney and it showed. Wint _finally_ beat Asa one on one and may have exorcised some demons (right, Steve? :) ) Overall not too bad for the top group...this time both Sten and Rip beat up on Coeus once) 2nd group-- Lord Fandil, Elric, Graykor, Vanya, Raven, Paz, Zandari, Snarkface 1st: Paz 2nd: Vanya (Notes: the usual and expected final...this is becoming a yearly event, but the last 6 months Paz has improvised and improved on his dodging and retreat strategy and pulled ahead. Congrats, Dave, Paz did REALLY well in all 3 categories. Vanya won 1st bout, 2nd and 3rd time Paz won) 3rd group-- Bangor, Lord Kleevanard, Korenth Salke, Rambler, Hulk, Vulnavia, Kragg, Drack 1st: Lord Kleevy 2nd: Hulk (Notes: Lord Kleevy yet again...!) 4th group-- Grimtooth, StormShadow, Grog, Nigel, Sxar, Fenrir, Death Seeker, Gorath 1st: Nigel 2nd: Sxar (Notes: the premier blastcaster blasted Sxar to little bits twice, once in the 1st round and in the final round. Impressive showing, Mike!) 5th group-- Knightblade, Kurgen, Aden, Maug, Vikas, Angus, Santiago, Amulon 1st: Knightblade 2nd: Santiago (Notes: an all fighter group, and KB is (IMO) the best/most balance all around fighter. No surprises, KB went 4-0 with his greatsword and very good dodge/retreat. Congrats, Bill) 6th--1st: Alf 2nd: Elizabeth Borden 7th--1st: Blanka Long-ear 2nd: Jamethiel 8th--1st: Diamanda 2nd: Tombstone 9th--1st: Noirluna 2nd: Sweet Cheeks 10th--1st: Devin 2nd: Takh'suth 11th--1st: Sana Ashbarii 2nd: Melanie 12th--1st: Slimy Little Bastard 2nd: Black Eagle Sorry, will type more later tonight on other groups...gotta hurry MIXED Top group-- Coeus/Golden, Asa/Graykor, Sten/Nigel, Ripjack/Vanay, Hawk/Paz, Deathstalker/Elfgod, Alf/Galin, Countessa Drax/Thorron 1st--Hawk/Paz 2nd--Coeus/Golden (Notes: I could strangle you, Paz! ;) Hawk/Paz lose the 1st time around, then win the 2nd and 3rd bouts! Amazing comeback...I haven't looked closely yet, but Hawk was blinking all over the place and with Paz retreating every now and then there were a lot of side and back shots in the 3 fights. Sten/Nigel team lost to Coeus/Golden 3rd round and to Hawk/Paz 4th round. Interesting matchups....) 2nd group-- 1st--Knightblade/Blanka Long-ear 2nd--Drackmoor/Rambler (Notes: My SOTBR buddies appear to be doing very well, especially KB/Blanka with their fighter/mage team. Drack/Rambler won 1st time they met, then KB/Blanka staged a comeback winning next 2 bouts. Kinda weird these comebacks!) 3rd group-- 1st--Dark Dove/Silencer 2nd--Alien Jourgensen/Amulon (Notes: No surprises here, the premier mages from Ragnarok still dominate in their groups) 4th group-- 1st--Tombstone/Novon Shealdra 2nd--Dante Moravil/Falstaff 5th group-- 1st--Lord Kleevanard alone 2nd--Khitrets/Sonya ...many more groups, will type later if I have time... DOUBLES Top group-- Coeus/Elric, Asa/Graykor, Sten/Nigel, Rip/Vanya, Paz/Golden, Deathstalker/Elfgod Studclub, Winterslope/Devin, Grimtooth/Hulk 1st--Paz/Golden 2nd--Sten/Nigel (Notes: Paz/Golden made another comeback after losing in opening rounds to Rip/Vanya. Paz/Goldy beat Sten/Nigel in final 2 rounds. Blast level 17 isn't quite enough to win a match in the top group, perhaps next tourney if Sten/Nigel team up again. Paz and I did use the power word Miizael to boost our mind wall against Nigel's daze, and it may have affected the outcome somewhat...difficult to say, but I'll read the fights closer and let you know) 2nd group-- 1st--Alf/Galin 2nd--Raven/Talon (Notes: yet again these two fighter/mage teams go at it and this tourney Alf/Galin come out ahead. Congrats, Alf, you've finally improved (wink)) 3rd group-- 1st--Blanka Long-ear/Wellen Blackheart 2nd--Snarkface/Bestrix (Notes: congrats, Aaron, on three 1st place finishes with Blanka!) 4th gorup-- 1st--Alien Jourgensen/Amulon 2nd--Boran Stoneshaper/Sgt Talis 5th group-- 1st--Tombstone/Novon Shealdra 2nd--Corellon Larethian/Dopey Outta time, let me know by email/follow up post if you'd like more info on your guys. Later! Mike Up
