[IRON DM] Winter '04 Tournament (IRON DM ANNOUNCED!)
- Thread starter el-remmen
- Start date
I would like to thank the acadamey, my parents, all the little people...oh wait. That's not until I take the whole thing. Actually I have only two people to thank.
'Laxu, you are a gentleman and a scholar. You allowed me to continue in this contest. So thanks. (And I know what you mean about the inspiration. I had the first two ingredients placed right after I read the list, the rest took many hours of the delete button to even get to settle in my mind, much less on paper. And it still never really worked.)
Nemmerle, thank you for not automatically disqualifying me. And you were right, my adventure sure as hell didn't show 5 extra hours worth of work. It barely managed to show the work I did put into it. It was definitely not my best work ever, but not my worst either. But it was enough to squeak by, even if by the skin of my teeth.
So enough looking backward. Its time to justify the decision by doing better next round. So bring it on.

So, that’s the end of the preliminary round match-ups. Now it is time to get down, dirty and difficult and no more mister nice-guy. The judgments are going to dig even deeper and examine details with greater scrutiny, so you stand warned.
For the preliminary round I used a lot of “basic ingredients” because I wanted to supply “old school” elements and see what new and exciting ways people could come up with handling the old clichés. The ‘kidnapped princess’ scenarios of third matches were particularly fresh.
We will take up the next round on Monday. I am off from work – so will be ready to start matches in the afternoon eastern standard time as I like to sleep late.
This who I want to match with whom:
Wulf Ratbane vs. Carpe David
Enkhidu vs. Cstyle
Dave Turner vs. Zenld
Though if we absolutely have to juggle those around to get this done in a timely fashion we can do that, too.

Since the matchups are predetermined this round, rather than the more haphazard first round method, count me in for a start any time today. I'll check this thread periodically.
Onward to victory!

Let's keep using this thread for check-in and such. But I am willing to post your match's ingredients today, if you like.
