https://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=175084 *144*Brfs 10th Annual St. Pat's Pente Tourney*144* en https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1175047 be_water: just logged on and saw this. sorry be, figured we'd have a few more weeks of back and forthing before those were complete. I'm hoisting a sculpin IPA to you right now, great playing! I did notice you're "brain rook" though, so you get 35 days vacation a year, the best thing I could tell you is to always try and keep 14 days no matter what (going into October). I've done this same thing by using up most of mine during january-april (snowboarding season) and then scrapping the rest of the year with like a few days left of vacation trying not to timeout. Hate taking it this way, it's rare not having a 3rd round and actually being done with the whole thing in like 6 months. My thanks to everyone who signed up though and I hope to see you all back here for the March 17, 2017 11th annual tournament. No doubt be_water and I will get a rematch here soon too, and those are never easy....possibly even on the 2016 King of the Hill. I'll try and get that going here within a couple of weeks so stay tuned for that! Sun, 02 Oct 2016 21:02:08 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1175046 I just realized that I ran out of time for those two games. I apologize for letting that happen I've been so busy lately. Brf was playing well and he might of had those games anyways. Sun, 02 Oct 2016 17:30:25 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174765 wow-u: who are you kidding :) you're gonna shark the whole thing this year Sun, 07 Aug 2016 22:37:07 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174753 Well, I'm a little surprised I made it to the final round with the big boys. I'll do my best to get a split and gum things up :-) Fri, 05 Aug 2016 01:06:38 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174699 back from two vacations :) will start trying to pick up the slack and make some moves here on all this stuff. I'm behind on just about everything everywhere it seems, bear with me folks I'm trying to dig myself out of this backlog. Sun, 17 Jul 2016 06:15:44 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174573 tenuki: Sorry to see it go down this way Tenuki but I understand. I hope to see you back in the game after all the stuff on your plate settles down. That black rook membership isn't going away. I'll be gone for almost a week camping with my friends so I probably won't be moving until I get back (since I'm scrapping as it is to try and find all my camping stuff and get ready for tomorrow's departure). I'll make sure to cheers you all with some kickass homebrew while I'm camping (we all bring kegs of it). Mine is Ragnarok Pale Ale this year and she's tasting quite lusty at 6% abv and an IBU of 40 using nothing but mosaic hops! See you guys when I get back and have fun in Round 2! Thu, 23 Jun 2016 02:36:59 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174571 Sorry friends, due to personal problems (which were explained to my friend BRF) and because the database in pente.org is now privates and I can´t afford to pay a membership, I will withdraw this tournament and probably won´t play Pente again. Wed, 22 Jun 2016 15:25:25 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174535 I just checked on the last game and it looks like we're pretty close to round 2. Be prepared for it starting here any time folks! Thu, 16 Jun 2016 23:26:52 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174182 For those interested in the overall number rundown. We started with 130 ongoing games and 53 days later we're now down to just 20 games. From past experience I'd wager we'll be in Round 2 sometime in June right now. Continue will all the good playing everyone and I hope you're all enjoying St Pats in May! Tue, 10 May 2016 02:54:35 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174009 tarcellius: Thanks for signing up, always look forward to seeing you get back into things (especially since you are a black rook!). Hope I can get you to join in on a few more fellowship tournaments\stairs if you find the time. Congrats also to everyone in section 2 for being the first section done in round 1! Fri, 22 Apr 2016 01:31:07 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1174007 I enjoy my annual few games of Pente from Brf's tournament. My games are done, and I failed again to make it out of the first round (congrats dein), so I'll see you guys again next year. Thanks Brf! Thu, 21 Apr 2016 21:22:45 CEST https://brainking.com/en/print/Board?bc=175084&ngi=1173700 I usually send out reminders to folks about the tournament prior to the start date, but this year I decided I wasn't going to do that. I figured we'd keep the odds higher for everyone who did sign up by going for a lower amount of players than usual. So my thanks to all of you who did sign up! I look forward to playing you across the board and good luck! Thu, 17 Mar 2016 14:41:04 CET
