RAD Around The World CUP


(Ciakgb) #341

While we have a lull in the action, lets review our combatants. George, what’s with Ciakgb, a cold war relic?

No Bob, I think it might have subversive undertones. Or represent the duality of man, were not quite sure.

ELCO remains a total mystery to me.

He is the mystery man, while Ciakgb lists his location as Maine, USA, ELCO’s is a secret lair somewhere off the coast of Tahiti.

I always wondered if it was a nod to the Electric Company, an educational tv program for kids in the 1970’s…

Doubtful for this demographic, Bob, this is after all a video game…


(Ciakgb) #342

Let’s go to Mike and Ike for some pre match strategic analysis from the Black Rose Pub in Boston, Massachusettes. Boys?

EYyy there Bobby Boy! We got quite a donnybrook a brewing here…

Yessah indeedy Ike, that Ciakgb likely to go all meagan on your arse

And don’t be forgetting my mate ELCO laddy, he be knonwst to bring the heavy snipin’ lumber, he is!

Ahh, you aint lying. Of course maybe Cia won’t go meagan at all, he after all is writing this tripe…

Ohh, but what if the shifty bastard is really going all meagan, but just saying he aint so as to throw you off the trail, like

Its a tangled web we weeve, when we attempt to fricasee, we fry, fry again.

I don’t know what you saying, but its either bangers and mash or fish in chips in this match! Back to you, Bob…


(Ciakgb) #343

Now a word from our sponsor, Paul’s Decontaiminated Bratworst…

“Come happy day, no two suns ray, no decon suit today, Hip Hip Horray!”

Come on down kids, to Paul’s Decontaiminated Bratworst stand at the corner of ****e and Brimstone St’s. Our fries need no grease to sizzle! And remember, Contaiminated Food is Always Half Price!!!


(EL-CO) #344

[QUOTE=Ciakgb;470065]Ok, el co, I don’t mind if you go slow, just do me one favor and don’t open my moves, see them, then quit to come back later. I don’t do this at all.

Draws are on the agreement of both players, so your note on that is fine as long as that’s understood. There is no claiming a draw at this time, so as long as you aren’t just going to declare draws whenever you want, shouldn’t be an issue.

Making me a little nervous will all this draw talk! Are you just going to cower in cover and never do anything remotely interesting? That would explain why you don’t want anyone to see it;)

Anyway, challenge on the way. Best of luck.[/QUOTE]

Could you stop taunting me? You always make fun of others, sometimes even suggesting that your opponent is unfair, a coward or trying to cheat you. It’s not fun at all to me. It seems that you love playing game outside the battlefield, which is something I don’t like. Indeed, that is one of the reasons I don’t like to play in public with you.
Now I don’t see any reason why I have to continue playing this tournament bearing your taunts. Claim your victory, Ciakgb. You successfully demotivated me before starting actual match. Great social strategy. Congratulations!

Sorry for all participants and especially for Paul, that I have to leave the tournament in such a way. I enjoyed very much playing in the tournament. All the matches in the Bracket Stage were really tense and interesting games. I hope to play with you again. I will challenge you soon!

BTW, I’m pretty much sure that we played at least twice, Ciakgb. I usually challenge a return match when I lost a game, and you are no exception.


(Ciakgb) #345

Oh come on, no one is taunting you. Relax and play.


(Paul) #346

So what happens now? EL-CO are you going to forfeit and grab the 2nd place or try to beat him after all and go for 1st?


(Sandman77) #347

Man some people take life to serious…


(Mitsid) #348

So is the cup officially finished now? Can we now start discussing the rules for the next one?


(EL-CO) #349

When I told you that I’m busy and don’t want play in public, you never understand me and you even doubted and made fun of me. Sometime you said untrue things: what is ‘el co and co’? I was on your side and agreed with you to finish the tournament. And you implied that I am a coward and said there’s no taunt at all. These are just part of what you said to me, Ciakgb. I’m sure that you are the one of the most skillful players, but you are not one that I can have fun playing with. I tried to understand you and often be on your side indeed, but you are not very respectful to other players.
I’m playing the game for fun, not for victory. And playing in this kind of noises is no fun to me.

So thanks for the tournament, everyone. This is the end of the story. See you soon at the battlefield.


(Ciakgb) #350

Pointing out that if I won two games, and you drew two, you would still be the winner and then clarifying how easy it is to get draw positions, plus your known play style, it was not unreasonable to presume you would play passively. No one called you a coward.

I don’t think I was any more obnoxious than usual.

Although I feel like I just took Czechoslovakia without firing a shot, I will accept your forfeit and claim the Cup!


(Shiek93) #351

So ciakgb will win the cup without playing the final or finishing the semi? Wow!! I was routing for the three of you though out the whole tourney especially for ciakgb, but I think right now he should do the moral thing and let the two have their respective places, especially Kin!! I would go for 1. El-CO 2. Kin 3.Ciakgb but again it’s not my decicion just the moral thing to do


(Ciakgb) #352

I don’t think I’m immoral:) Kin at least I won a game, here I made the challenge three days ago, I can’t make the man play…


(Shiek93) #353

If you say so… I dont remember the game actually being finished, you were winning but against his worst… But again ot’s your call not mine


(Ciakgb) #354

It was over. He had lost his commander, had a couple very damaged guys, mine were sitting pretty, the take n hold meter was almost full.


(Paul) #355

EL-CO and ciakgb will share the first place :slight_smile:

Congratulations to the winners!

(Sandman77) #357

To me there can only be one…


(KINONEZ21) #358

Shiek I was loosing that match, regardless if I was playing at my best or worst, although I never saw Ciakgb’s last turn I dropped becuase of lack of time, not because of my lousy performance during that specific match.


(Ciakgb) #359

your commander succumbed to a barrage of 5 fryer shots and hoorah. My men were arranged in a semi circle the length of the rocket zone. I had a UAV at each entrance blocking. I had a health crate sitting around if I needed it. The take n hold was at least at 3, I think 4.

I’m sure Kin could have played better, although I did win all my games at train station this tourney, a good map for my style.

I was playing at the top of my game by the end of the tourney, Mitsid had me in a good mind space as far as being careful with my men while maintaining pressure.
