Thanks guys. I'm not at all surprised to see El Cremoso doing so well. He is one of the top 1v1 players and our games are always very close. Looking forward to the finals.

Don't play him on civil war....

@ brett72 - you are too nice. it is always a pleasure playing with you.

@imagonnalose - c'mon. you've beat me on the variant. it's the best! want to play another civil war rematch? ;)

one win out of countless losses....i'll pass....lol

El Cremoso vs. Battalion just finished. All the games were very good, but El Cremoso pulled out a close victory in each.

it was fun playing with you, Battalion. let's do it again sometime.

IvG - Italy win - gameID=17670
GvI - Germany win - gameID=17668

It was good playing you too. I'm just sorry that I wasn't more of a worthy opponent! I'll settle for having beaten you at Duo once...

Haha. I just got really lucky, Battalion. You were a great opponent. We will do it again.

Final games between Brettj72 and El Cremoso are below. Good luck, Brett, even though i know you don't need it. i need the luck.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE! The battlefield has drawn silent, with muskets lowered and sabres sheathed below a settling fog revealing the fallen heroes. Upon this glorious theater of multiple challengers, a single victor has risen above the din. For as it was stated in the greatest undertaking of art in the modern world, the film Highlander, "There can be only one."

I present your champion, Brettj72. Brett defeated El Cremoso 3-1, winning as Austria, France and Italy. Despite the best efforts of El Cremoso, there was no stopping the blitzkrieg death machine that is Brettj72's forces. Our battles were legendary, for they have created the legend of Brett, master of vdip and vanquisher of foes. Gameids below:

gameID=17903 Brett wins as France
gameID=17904 Brett wins as Austria
gameID=17905 Brett wins as Italy
gameID=17906 El Cremoso wins as Italy

Brett is as handsome as he is noble, and his military grandeur is only surpassed by his endowed bulge and the ensuing clamor it causes among the womenfolk thereupon. In this most majestic of tournaments, Brett finished with a sterling record of 8 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, vanquishing GOD, ccga4 and El Cremoso along the way.

Three cheers for Brettj72! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!!!

srsly though, great job, Brett. you were a damn tough opponent, and it is always a pleasure to play against you.

and thanks to imagonnalose for setting it up. now if we can just get some color commentary on his favorite matches, special awards, etc., i think everyone would be pleased.

what say ye, imagonnalose? youagonnawrite us some reviews of our play? ;)

Way to go Brett!!!! It was a pleasure losing to you

I think El Cremoso and Brett need to play on Empire one on one. Raw diplomacy skill vs. total map mastery.

Thanks guys. This tournament was a lot of fun. I'd love to play again sometime.

I'm looking forward to the promised awards. I'm expecting to be the favourite for most handsome.

@vallk - i did play Brett and i won the first few games, but he just beat me back to back. he is good. very good.

You peeps will need to give your good ole judge some time. It may be the end of the week before I am able to get a good hour or so to look at everything. Awards and commentary will be forthcoming.

congrats BRETT!!!
