GenCon 2011 Results

[Elginb]

dok's having trouble finding free wi-fi, so he called me with these results:

In the semi-finals, dok beat Scaper-Dude and Spider-poison beat Lonewolf. Apparently Spider_poison and Lonewolf had such similar armies that they decided to pick the winner by rolling a D20 rather than play it out. Since Scaper-Dude and Lonewolf play each other several times a year, they're also going to roll a D20 to determine the 3rd place winner. So it will be dok versus Spider_Poison in the finals!

The ID of the guy who was tied for 4th in HoB, and who was playing ratsx3/Nilf/Cyprien/Sonya in the main event, was Mr. Infidel. I finally remembered after asking him a third time.

Raider30's exact army was romansx3, 10thx2, Marcus, Ne-Gok-Sa, Isamu.

Kaboomboomboom's army was 4thx6+Samuel Brown.

One of the missing 4-1 armies was some sort of Axegrinder build; I'm pretty sure the player who played it is not on Heroscapers. There was also a Nilfheim/Raelin/Greenscale build.

I don't know all the matchups, but I know Kaboomboomboom won his opening game over his 4th Mass with the Nilf/Greenscale army, on Fulcrum. I beat Tiny Timmy in a repeat of our 5th round game from the day before (I won both but with different armies each time). Spider Poison beat the 'trons with the Axegrinders.

In quarters, spider beat the 'trons with Turkeyclubsamich's warforged. I beat Nicktheant in a crazy game (my 1-life Nilfheim had to finish off a bunch of grubs).

Finals:

Spoiler Alert!

I won.

We gave the crowd their money's worth. After moving TKN a bit, spider just started decimating me with the Krav, quickly taking out half my Blastarons and several Gladiatrons. I had to go for a hail mary - with the tail end of the 3rd OM, I threw most of my army outside of Raelin's aura, and put my OM1 on the Glads. I won initiative and killed two Krav, with Raelin and the third falling soon after.

At that point, things looked good for me, but TKN survived 4 attacks of 7 at one point to get in a position where he could devastate my army. However, 3 attacks of 4 on the next OM managed to take him down.

I'll post a more detailed battle report later.

The Nilfheim/Greenscale build was actually Nilfheim, Greenscalesx2, Raelin, and the Airborne Elite. His HSer ID is Mezrath (or something like that; search doesn't find it so I must have heard it wrong, I guess).

ETA: Thanks to Retlaw's pictures, I can figure out the rest of the first round results:
Nicktheant over Mantrainchoochoo
Turkeyclumsammich over Raider30
Worseley over Hendal
Scaper_Dude over Rollitontop
lonewolf over Mr. Infidel

I'm pretty sure lonewolf beat kaboomboomboom in the quarters, which means that Scaper_Dude beat (EDIT:) Worseley. So that's the whole draw. (lonewolf conceded third place to his son.)

Also, Worseley's CTF army was Q9+Q10+Fen Hydra. I know because he played the same army in our win-a-tundra event.

Congrats, dok! Good scapin!

Good to see spider_poison coming out of pseudo-retirement and showing he's still got it.

Not nearly enough Ohio representation up there this year. ManTrain - what happened?

Well, they're not part of the "Columbus Crew", but Rollitontop and Turkeyclubsamich are both Ohio-scapers from Columbus. Rollitontop also won HoB, and Turkeyclubsamich had the only army in day 2 that I thought was weaker than my own (in most matchups, anyway - including head to head).

I placed third in 3 pack draft. And Lefton4ya was fourth I believe. (Fun fact: He and Juniour had a draw in one round by lava field wounds on their last figures simultaneously.)

The above quote contradicts this:

So I'm going to assume the former is correct and that Scaper_dude beat Worseley in his quarterfinal match.

Yes, right. Fixed. Also, lonewolf conceded third place to Scaper_Dude.

I did terrible but it was a lot of fun. Went 2-2 in every event except for General Wars, going 1-3 not counting my bye. Had great games with fomox, Brownsfan, and JD_Tenor, and a lot of people, of which I forget thier names.

[nicktheant]

Deroche placed first for Jandar 5-0. 4th Mass, Samuel Brown. He won the entire thing.
Hendal placed first for Utgar 5-0. Stingers, Raelin
Fomox placed first for Aquilla, I think he went 4-1. Axegrinders, Morgrimm.

This is what I remember, correct me if I've made any mistakes.

[MegaSilver]

I went 2-2 on the 4x4 400. I played Mohicans against Rÿchean's Drones, and won.

I went 2-3 on General Wars with Steamroller. My dice were good in the beginning of each game, and went downhill right near the end.

[Deroche]

I didn't get a chance to see who got 1st or 2nd for Dragon Hoard; I was able to get 3rd place (Charos, Greenscalesx2, Cyprien).

I get to play in the ToC and I have no idea what I'm running (wasn't planning for it). I'd love it if I could get away with Flow Chart one more time, but I have my doubts.
