Ok; I thought you were unsure in your earlier post, so I figured I'd ask since I needed a definite answer.
Judgement incoming; gotta insert the fact of the sudden death and the fighters' new standings first, though, so it could take a bit since I need to find you in the registration first (why didn't you post your stats in the thread, anyway? ).
"Since neither fighter said that they've changed their mind about the sudden death, it stands." *sigh* "Very well - let the sudden death commence!" After having watched the moves, the judge eyes both fighters closely for a very long time. At last, he speaks. "It is by a very thin margin that I consider Kith's move to be stronger for reasons of its defense."
"Since this was a sudden death round, not only the round, but also the match go to Kith."
"Orlandu, you have lost to an equally strong opponent, and have brought no dishonor on yourself. You are still strong. You are now a Green Belt 0 with a record of 8-4."
"Kith, well fought - it seems that the gods of war stood by your side this time. You advance to Green Belt 1, with a record of 5-0."The judge also hands Kith 2 yen from the emperor.
[ooc: Whew! What a tension-filled match... I think I'll go to GD - or Nutkinland - now to relax a little. See you two later, and good luck to both of you. ]
Skarn, you are better than most here - myself included. You are one of the top dawgs, so to speak. Okay, you have lost four matches, but you've also won [p]eight[/p]!!! I don't think that there's anyone else here who has even fought that much, much less won eight matches...
That's not the problem Dark... I know my luck well... its just like PnP games and YBA... good beginning.. horrid end.. (In D&D for example... I always roll good stats... sickeningly good... then next 10 saves I fail.. generally killing me) (In YBA did a fun quest got pretty good.. now I am the one who falls in every fight...)
The Yo-Yo effect is causing my emotions to swing too much... especially with all the long gaps in time.. cliffhangers and the like.. =(. I already gave up on standard matches... since I lose them... now a strat match vs an equal foe.. giving it my all... despite my hand... seeing the victory.. then gone.. you understand I hope
