Tourney's end

Congrats Yoda, but no official announcement will follow... officially the tourney has been considered dead, since, I think, early September.

Thanks everyone for the congrats!

Just a parting thought... By September, I had defeated all who were playing except for one person. Nobody wanted to continue playing their games because there was no second or third place prize. In other words, there was no point anymore.

So, what you are basically saying is that this tournament and the prize money was really just a hoax. All the effort, fun, time, etc... really amounted to nothing.

If the prize money was put up originally for the winner of this tournament, and if all agree that I have won, well?

Hope everyone is having a great holiday.

Yoda, sad times at Apolyton High

Yes indeed, it was a hoax, for as well intended as it may have seemed, still unto this date no final preperation for the RED CARPET to be rolled out for the Winner, no CONFETTI no TROPHY and alas and sadly certainly to the Winner which most assuredly seems to be you Yoda, would be NO GREENBACKS! umm that be good old American Slang for Money!!


So here we sit at the Great Divide where at the end of this Epic Journey to the Top Of Apolyton Peak to put Yoda's Flag Pole, we find a Treasure Chest and as the World looks on in awe and admiration, Yoda attempts a Humble Spirit as congratulatory Praises and Plaudets arise from the Valley Below, falling on deaf ears of Yoda as he silently bows, a single tear streaming halfway down his cheek, seizing the moment and his dream is suddenly smashed with the empty chest, save a small note attached to a rock..simply stated..Sad to say, no real intention to ever pay, like the games and competitors, whom came and went, so did Gavrushka, with promises of monies that will never be sent!

I salute you Yoda and in The Land of Trolldom I will herby decree a National Day of Mourning and then followed by a week of Celebration honoring Yoda, the Greatest General whom ever lived!

Hi Yoda! I wish you would play in the PBEM Challenge Ladder. It is pretty successful and it is about the only thing we all have time enough to play. Hope to see you there. Paulno1 (a.k.a. Paul) is playing there now. It would be good to see you there. NO MONEY, but just for fun.
