[QUOTE="Joachim, post: 3711189, member: 9531"] No...as a matter of fact we were just waiting to get the results back from the semifinals. The module was an extremely tough grind (the toughest semifinal round I can ever remember), we were playing with 2 new players to the group, and we suffered through some extremely bad dice rolls (I saw more natural 1's today than I have ever seen in an Open round). All said, we still made it pretty far, but we did not finish the module and we had 2 PC deaths. Our DM, one who has been judging Open rounds for over a decade, flattered us by saying that we had the most organization and teamwork of any group he had ever seen. Looking around the room at the progress of other teams it was apparent that it was going to be a close call as to whether we would advance or not. And it was. Out of the 30 teams that played in the semifinals, 10 were selected to advance. Aqua Teen Hunger Force ("us") placed 10th, and so we will be participating in the Finals for the fourth consecutive year. Speaking with the head Open official, we were very Very VERY close to ending our championship run. The good news is that your score in previous rounds does not have any bearing on the Finals championship...it only serves as the weed-out to the Finals round. We have a chance, but obviously we are going to be up against some stiff competition. I am not confident that we are going to be victorious this year, but I can only hope that we got the bad die-rolls out of our system today. As of this moment, the only thing I need is about 5 hours of sleep and then...its GAME ON. [/QUOTE]
