2nd Unicyclist.com Chess Tournament

[sobriquet]

Okay, let's try this again. The last time we tried it it went pretty well until the finals.
Lets use gameknot (http://www.gameknot.com) again.
Every one that wants to participate put your gameknot username on here.
I think we should put the games as 3 days as that is the minumum amount of days on Gameknot and it shouldn't take more days then that. So whoever wants to play join in!
Sobriquet

We will work out more of the rules as a group when more people enter.

(i think I won the last one, or would have won the last one, or did it finish?)

[habbywall]

Okay, just to let you all know, my other user name is sobriquet, So I am organizing this tournament. I think we should start it now, 16 people is enough I think. The games will be 3 days per move. I am going to make a bracket tommorrow.
I think that the last time we did this it was something like after a week or two whoever had the most points wins. Should we do that again? Because if not it could take a while.

Wuh?!?! your sobriquet.
You tricked me.

[Ricky W]

i don't know if I want to do it or not because the last time I played the guy had it on 14 days and was taking for ever. I just now quit it we only had like 2 moves in 30 minutes and i only took like 2. I like fast games.

[habbywall]

That is why the rule for all tournament games will be a 3 day max amount of time per move.

[forget_your_life]

there was a big debate about points determaning the winner. just because you are down a peice souldnt make you a loser..we need to go with a 1 day limit for wins and losses...there are already to many people for 3 days.

[forget_your_life]

(i think I won the last one, or would have won the last one, or did it finish?)
it came down to me (jagur) and you and then it got defunct (notice Brian hasnt sign-up?)

anyway,i played steveyo and GILD plus i have a higher rating than you....You played a bunch of losers and have a lower ranking than me on gameknot...there-for....

I WON :D

I WON :D
I have touched gameknot in over a year or whenever the last tournament was.
I'd be happy to play a game against you now.

[Catboy]

I WON :D

No, Eye One!

[habbywall]

The min is 3 days. So I think we should set it at two weeks. And after that the person with the most points wins. Then it forces the games to move along some.

So are we playing, or what??

[ivan]

So are we playing, or what??
Maybe later... Too hot to play now! Can't think.

[forget_your_life]

if we are going to play for "most points" in 2 weeks count me out..

[habbywall]

So, fine, we just play until it ends, alright, hopefully that makes everyone happy, but you must set the max time to 3 days. Is everyone fine with that?

[ivan]

Okay, but later on, not now...:o

[habbywall]

You can start whenever you feel is necessarry:

Just to make things fun, and since I am running this tournament. The person with the longer name is white. If the names are even then the person with more vowels goes first.
Then for the second round whoever got the most points in the first round goes first.

[ivan]

Oopsy daizy. Tomtrevor is going down. But not now. Later. Procrastinate for life.

[steveyo]

habbywall:

That's a beautiful bracket there!

[habbywall]

I know isn't it just the best!

[MERCYME]

How come you didn't organize it using the Swiss System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_system)

[habbywall]

Because we don't want it to last forever, I think that that is part of what killed the last tounament.

[MERCYME]

Because we don't want it to last forever, I think that that is part of what killed the last tounament.
Well I dunno, I have a feeling this is going to last forever.
We will see.
Whats the prize?

[habbywall]

I think the prize will be knowing that you are the greatest chess player on unicyclist.com, I mean I would be proud of that, how about you?
Until next year when we will try to have it again.

[iridemymuni]

i am trying to challenge gobeefy, but he hasnt been activated yet

[habbywall]

Well, if he doesn't reply to this by the time the first game is over then you win by default.

[MERCYME]

I think the prize will be knowing that you are the greatest chess player on unicyclist.com, I mean I would be proud of that, how about you?

Can't wait to put that in my signature and under my username
"Greatest chess player in the world"

[MERCYME]

Well, if he doesn't reply to this by the time the first game is over then you win by default.
Should it be that? Or should it just be if he doesn't reply for 3 days hes DQ'd

[habbywall]

I was thinking about three days, then decided to be nice. We shall see in three days, how some of the games are going, at this rate me and mercy will be done then.

[abbabibble]

ok, so i started a gsame with mr. burjzyntsky.

make yo' move, sucka!

[habbywall]

Me and mercy are on our 12th move. I think our game is going to go pretty fast.

[one wheely]

i am trying to challenge gobeefy, but he hasnt been activated yet
i think ive activated...

[tomtrevor]

hey i remember now. i havent tried to play this game yet. i dont really want to though, i prefer real chess.

[Peter]

i'm regester with Piti
maby to late?

[habbywall]

Yes, it's too late, but we will have another one next year.

[MERCYME]

Ok, habby and I are finished.

[habbywall]

AHH, that sucks for me. I will organize a losers bracket if anyone wants to go.

[abbabibble]

well...
so burjzyntski still hasn't moved. he has about a day left.

[abbabibble]

won by timing out of burjyntski.

next opponent!

[iridemymuni]

okay i won that game against gobeefy.

can somebody please update the thingy so we know what's happening

[forget_your_life]

screw this. im going to play some "real " chess. challenge sent Steveyo.

gobeefy...no you cannot be on my "buddy list".

[tomtrevor]

i havent versed anyone yet! probably because i stopped using the site about 5 minutes after i registered, also i prefer real chess.

[habbywall]

Okay here it is, everyone that "said" they wanted to play, heres the deal, you get one week to reply to this. If you don't reply within one week then Mercyme is the official winner.

[iridemymuni]

reply.

i beat gobeefy, who now?

[habbywall]

iride:
You play either I_love_twins546, or jagur or go to page three for the bracket, if those two don't respond in a week then you play mercy.

[jake_amos]

oh play me. it'll be so exicting that i'll get wood... and on that i'll have chess peices

[skate4flip]

Okay here it is, everyone that "said" they wanted to play, heres the deal, you get one week to reply to this. If you don't reply within one week then Mercyme is the official winner.
of the tournament? Steveyo and I are still in the middle of the game. Some how i don't think its looking good for me...

[habbywall]

Okay, see, you have replied, so you and steveyo get as long as you need to finish your game.

[skate4flip]

Okay, see, you have replied, so you and steveyo get as long as you need to finish your game.
You should post the updated tournament bracket so people wont be as confused. and maybe put some kind of mark, saying if there game is still going on or whatever.

[steveyo]

OK - so I beat skate4flip. Now who do I play?

[habbywall]

Steveyo, you play the winner of tomtrevor and ivan's game.
But I think I am going to end this pretty soon, with you playing mercyme for 1st and 2nd and me playing forrest for third and fourth, stay tuned for details.

[one wheely]

Argghh I Just Realised I Haven"t Made A Move For Like 3 Weeks

[jake_amos]

[jake_amos]

i_love_twins546

[iridemymuni]

alright i just beat jake amos.

[one wheely]

Owen I have to apologise for forgetting to make a move.

net chess is sooo boring

[tomtrevor]

normal chess is boring. to an extent.

[ivan]

I think that normal chess is way better for cheating...

[habbywall]

People, go to page three!! and follow the bracket!
I will make an updated one tonite though, so you can wait until then.

[steveyo]

I just challenged MERCYME.
