Maaan... Stef is totally destroying the poll.
Note that we are guaranteed a Europe vs US final.
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

On the other hand, these are some matches I would definitely want to watch on YouTube! Too bad Iso doesn't have a spectator mode or something. :(
Okay great, looking forward to it!!On the other hand, these are some matches I would definitely want to watch on YouTube! Too bad Iso doesn't have a spectator mode or something. :(
I will record our match unless there is a serious obstacle.
Still, some sort of "replayer" functionality as some of you may know from various Poker software would have been an awesome Iso feature.Oce Goko logs contain really all information about the game (some is still missing, but those are mostly bugs) it should be possible to make an external replayer that, fed with game log, shows how it went.
Maybe Goko? 8) :D

Do you have a YouTube channel on which you will post the videos?

For most Iso logs it should also be possible to backtrack the deck states as long as there's no crazy stuff going on.

"Crazy stuff" is only Masquerade currently, right?
Deck state (how many copies of each card each player has) can be tracked on Iso even during the game
No, it works for Masquerade as well. I play with the point counter extension and it works as it should in Masquerade games. I'm not sure if post-game logs allow for Masquerade tracking, but definitely in-game log does so.Deck state (how many copies of each card each player has) can be tracked on Iso even during the game
Except for Masquerade.

... even if you simply draw cards mid-turn, they don't say what cards you drew.
I am fairly confident that none of the 4 finalists have EVER beaten me.Or lost to you. ;)
In fact, quite a lot of the people in this thread have never beaten me either!

Nope, Eevee is MrEevee
The fun thing about playing high level players is when you're a bit behind coming out of the early game. You can't count on them making a mistake as a novice would sometimes do. So maintaining the same strategy is almost always a sure loss. Makes for some very entertaining kitchen sink games.

Took him like a week to notice!Notice you pretended or notice you are not Eevee?
Well, sure, but somehow the intimidation factor starts playing a role and you start seriously considering Thief or something silly like that. :)The fun thing about playing high level players is when you're a bit behind coming out of the early game.

I dunno... you can still hope for bad shuffle luck to slow them down. And high-ranked players still make mistakes; just not as many.
Losers Bracket is down to the Final Four as well... Do we get interviews? >_>
Were these matches recorded by any chance?
Congrats MicQ. Good luck in the final. America is counting on you.Nah, forget America, it's the chemists counting on you (unless I move on, then they don't care, so you Anerican guys may take over)..
Ohne Holland, fahr'n wir zur WM!Schade Deutschland alles ist vorbei? :)

If this were really about football (and I mean the game in which you actually play a ball with your foot, not the other one where carry some oval thing around in your hand), the final - no matter what the semifinal result will be - would be sort of like a walk in the park. ;)

Once in a while, a look at the blog is worth the time. ;-) Hidden between the WanderingWinder's brilliant articles on fundamental deck types there are interviews of the final four participants.Congrats MicQ.

Wait, is Mic yet another chemist? Crazy.

And there he says he is.
There's a blog now?

That was when our national team gave us a very hard time watching it..
I'm switching my vote to lespeutere since I've played him like 5 times in the last 2 days and have lost all of them.

Switching your vote implies you played -Stef- a couple of times, too, and destroyed him? ;)
Adding some suspense to the whole thing:
I'll start writing the report now, we just finished the match which came down to game 7, lasting 2 hours in total...
I am an American but I am rooting for -Stef- in the final round because he's super cool :)

You forgot game 7No, I just don't have coherent thoughts on it.
I found it a shame that many of the boards were very swingy/luck dependent, but what can you do?
I don't know that I found this set of matches particularly luck dependent.
Stef is 6.5 levels above anyone else at the moment. I think it's more than just first player advantage. After him it gets closer again, but he is just miles above anyone else at the moment. (Interestingly, olneyce, a level 42, seems to have the 2nd highest skill.)I don't know that I found this set of matches particularly luck dependent.
Yeah, I don't think they were extraordinary luck dependent. But they were extremly favoring first player. Tournament twice, cursers, Fool's Gold... So in the end it's probably only logical that the first player advantage won between two players that good (though Stef is probably still a slight tough above everyone else).

Any word on when the final is yet?The guys over at the GameFAQs contest board call this the Ultimate Loser. (http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Ultimate_Loser)
I think I'm gonna be rooting for Stef. That way I'm part of the long chain of losers (I'd have lost to the person who lost to the person who lost to the person who lost to the person who lost to Stef (and I think I put the right number of clauses in there), which is a lot more amusing than going through winner wise.

Nah, he says that he already has Dominion, but that there's not enough interaction and you sit there bored as the other three players take forever to finish their turns.This is somewhat true, I find 3 to be the optimal number in real life, but 4 is just over the edge for me.
The third place match will be at the same time, and will use the same kingdoms.
Will anyone be recording or live streaming the final?As noted above, neither of the finalists does this, so probably no.
Want to play the sets with someone (say myself), and record that?Will anyone be recording or live streaming the final?As noted above, neither of the finalists does this, so probably no.
I could probably record the lobby conversations, if you really wanted, as I plan on sitting there and chatting the sets up with whoever else is there. But I expect that would be a very very boring recording.
