KING OF JERUSALEM: Swords & Scimitars Tourney - Round 5: need one more player

mTk · Dec 23, 2021

A little slow, my fault.
Feeling a bit ill (NOT virus) and staying upright has been a challenge.
Should be able to speed things up in a day or two.

@HOA_KSOP @mTk - any progress to report?

@Rico Slow going. I have a slight lead at this time.

@mTk Hope you feel better soon Terry.

Christmas weekend is done and dusted ... time to put on the Tourneymeister hat and follow up on some updates!! :2charge:

Please report in status and progress of your battle:

@HOA_KSOP vs @mTk (hope @mTk is feeling better)

It's the hedgehog (not Ted), isn't it...?

HOA_KSOP · Dec 30, 2021

@Rico @mTk My internet was wonky as hell last night and my turn did not upload to the email server. Got that corrected this AM. Sorry for the delay Terry and Rico.

@mTk @HOA_KSOP

Making progress? ... stalled?

Losing interest fast here, seeing that we started this round off on December 1st!!

If this match has stalled, I'm calling it -- please ceasefire it asap, so rest of us can move on (although by now I am not sure if everyone else has lost interest)

I'm still good to be thrown back in at the bottom.

HOA_KSOP · Jan 3, 2022

@Rico I think we are 13 turns in and I have just evened the score at 18%. mTk has the turn. It's the hedgehog (not Ted).

HOA_KSOP · Jan 4, 2022

@Rico turn processed tonight, we are rolling.

HOA_KSOP · Jan 6, 2022

@Rico Sir HOA's Crusaders defend the oasis and prevail, 48%-16%. Hats off to mTk for manning up and assaulting my hedgehog(not Ted) set up in a very defensible position. It was the luck of the setup draw that I could hole up in a damn good defensible position that negated the Turkish horse troops. Terry, thanks for the game, much respect for you for a battle hard-fought.

mTk · Jan 6, 2022

Yes, a brave but foolish endeavor. Cavalry attacking defensive works. How did I think that was a good idea?

GG HOA. Well played.

Rico · Jan 6, 2022

Round 4 is a wrap, well done -- will kick off proceeding for the next round some time later today.

@Wellsonian and @HOA_KSOP move up to the middle tier for a Crusader vs Crusader fight.

@chiquichops confirmed for next round.

@mTk @kronenblatt @Mad Mike @Nelson1812 @Josey Wales -- 3 bottom tier slots available, first come, first served.

mTk · Jan 6, 2022

Yeah, prop me back up on the horse.

That would be in the Spanish Reconquista, not the Crusades . . .

mTk · Jan 6, 2022

They do kind of all run together...

Rico · Jan 7, 2022

Finally ready to get ROUND 5 going.

@olaf is still reigning Sultan with one successful throne defence to his name -- @Rico steps up as this round's challenger for the throne.

@Wellsonian and @HOA_KSOP fight it out in middle tier in a Crusader vs Crusader battle.

@mTk and @chiquichops re-join the bottom tier to start their campaigns afresh.
