Tournament of Failure
 
Sticky Please!

Many of us may not have anything to do on Monday February 25th, during the TOC. :(

To ease the symptoms (or extend them) of league withdrawl, I have created the TOURNAMENT OF FAILURE!

No one makes the TOC without being a league member, and this is the same way. If you are a paid legure member and don't make the TOC, I will PM the password to you on the evening of the tournament.

I am sure there will be more open/private games after this league (good times, good times), but this one is for those who have supported the league with their optional registration fee, so keep the PW on the DL.

I hope im not

Invigilator 02-08-08 10:38 PM

I am borderline.

juiCe[3x] 02-08-08 11:05 PM

Same here.

Nikita 02-09-08 07:53 AM

I figure I'll be in. I think I'm only able to make one more league game and I'm not even close to the TOC yet.

Invigilator 02-09-08 05:36 PM

Let's make this more interesting

I am working on some ways to add a little bit of extra "fun" to the TOF.

If EVERYONE that will be playing agrees, I think that the FIRST person who gets knocked of of the Tournament of Failure has to make this image their Avatar for a solid month.

Nikita 02-09-08 07:17 PM

I'm game.

Fildy 02-09-08 08:08 PM

mos def, and im gonna lose on purpose, that shit is the nuts

Special Prize For Tof
 
If you haven't notice, Kurn is the only active member of the "Thousand Post Club" that has never changed his custom title.

He has agreed to let the person who bubbles in the TOF to design a custom title for him. He will implement it and keep it for 1 month time.

Remember though, this is an opportunity to "title" him, not "abuse" him, so I would support his refusal to make it anything offensive.

Talking Poker 02-10-08 02:13 AM

This is great:

And I like this too:

Along those lines, if the winner of the TOL has under 1000 posts, they will also win their very own custom title.

Here's hoping I won't be in this tourney... I need a big finish Monday.

Nikita 02-10-08 07:38 AM

Actually sjay hasn't changed his title yet either (but he's not in the league).

And speaking of which. To hijack the thread a bit, am I set up to change mine? It's in User CP somewhere right? I think I'm looking in the right place, but I'm not seeing it.

Invigilator 02-10-08 07:59 AM


Look at all this non-monetary fun! Woot!

Kurn 02-10-08 09:27 AM


But I have a sense of humor, so you don't have to walk on eggshells. ;)

Talking Poker 02-10-08 12:44 PM

I don't know why sjay and Kurn never changed theirs, but you haven't been able to because I hadn't enabled it for you yet. Whoops. You should be good to go now.

Nikita 02-10-08 01:02 PM

Woohoo! :)

Invigilator 02-19-08 09:14 PM

It's in the mail
 
For all of those who qualify for the tournament of failure... attaboy!

I will be PMing everyone the password on the evening of the tournament.

PLEASE don't give it out to others, as the intention was that this was a last go-round for the paid league members. I am not even letting my mother-in-law play! (topaz3)

Talking Poker 02-19-08 11:06 PM

Reel Deal has made a $20 donation to this prizepool (). It will go to the winner, unless he specifies otherwise.

Nikita 02-20-08 12:39 AM

Bah, I'm probably not going to be able to make this now. I'm working late that day, maybe I'll get lucky and can come home early, but it's highly doubtful.

Reel Deal 02-20-08 09:18 AM

Winner takes all baby!! :cheers:

bunny 02-25-08 12:19 PM

:h: the avatar, I'm in.

The PW to the TOF has been Pm'd to PD league members.

bonus prizes...

-an extra $20 to the winner (from Reel Deal).
-if the winner is under 1000 posts, they get a custom title (from TP).
-the bubble gets to design a custom title for KURN, which he will keep for a month.
-the first person knocked out must use the attached "donkey" pic as their avatar for one month.

Have at it kids!

Talking Poker 02-25-08 10:10 PM

What happens when the first person knocked out is a non-poster?

Invigilator 02-25-08 11:03 PM

No provisions were in place, so I guess it is played as is.

I am sure we can keep that pic and make good use of it in other ventures.

New Guy 02-26-08 12:22 AM

I AM THE KING OF THE LOSERS All bow to the king!!!!!
