By Acolytec (Acolytec) on Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 01:42 am: The cut is very clear, and the few pending games left are irrelivant due to present status. This tournament will finally end!
Randomly assigned by ripping up paper, writing innitials and drawing out of a hat:
The top 8:
JP vs. K-Run
Gzeiger vs. Alhazard
Deranged Parrot vs. Burning Ice
Acolytec vs. Mako
You have 2.5 weeks to finish this round. After that either both members or the less active member will be dropped from the top 8. Match reports are DUE BY:
SATURDAY DECEMBER 1.
I will assign new pairings as soon as everone is done with the round or on the the first. This has gone on long enough, and 2.5 weeks should be enough time.
Mako, I can be reached at DAHi***e@s***s.edu or as Acolytec on AIM. I can play just about any time so just set a day thats good for you and I'll meet you on AIM or BDCHAT.

By Burning Ice, the Elementalist (Burningice) on Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 02:04 am: Gah! T1TOC2 made it to the top 8, faced Parrot. Guess we're going again. Parrot, I won't be able to play until the 21st of November the earliest. Send my an email at g***u@t***m.com and let me know when you're free, or if you still use AIM, you can meed me there.
By Acolytec (Acolytec) on Tuesday, November 13, 2001 - 11:17 pm: If there are any concerns, just IM me under acolytec on AIM. also trying to push this towards the top so everyone sees it.

By Alhazard (Alhazard) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 03:18 am: ^!*#&*#&*!&*!&#!#*(
Gzrei where are u? I just saw this!
l***n@i***h.com
im on #bdchat as V-Kirika now, and Im very flexible as to when we can play.
By Acolytec (Acolytec) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 01:32 pm: Alhazard, if you can get ahold of gzeiger and can't set a time to play until after the deadline, just im me on AIM under Acolytec or at h***d@s***s.edu. I don't have a problem with helping everyone out time-wise in playing the matches, just as long as I know that they intend to play.
By Burning Ice, the Elementalist (Burningice) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 06:00 pm: Acolytec: Just to say, me and Parrot are playing this coming Saturday (Dec 1)...
By Gzeiger (Gzeiger) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 08:14 pm: We just played our match. Sligh (Alhazard) beats Academy 2-0.
Game one was won on the strength of Gorilla Shaman and Wasteland which I was ill-prepared to deal with, although I made a run at it. Unfortunately a Wheel of Fortune that doesn't lead to outright victory that turn is some kind of bad against Sligh 
Game two I put up little resistance after a double mulligan. I also make the mistake of trying to cast Timetwister while I had a Wheel of Fortune in hand. He has a Red Elemental Blast, which gets in two more attacks before I can recover because I drew too many Undiscovered Paradises.
The match was fun, though 
By Acolytec (Acolytec) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 09:22 pm: Wow. That sligh deck is killing everything. I'm quite impressed.
Parrot and Ice are to play on December first, so we should be able to move on immediately after that.
By Alhazard (Alhazard) on Tuesday, November 27, 2001 - 11:34 pm: I would like to mention that shield sphere is beatings. Thank you.
By Gzeiger (Gzeiger) on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 01:33 pm: Shield Sphere was pretty good for me, and immune to Gorilla Shaman as he discovered
Unfortunately it was the only card in my deck trying to be productive
I'm sure the control players already knew the problem I was going to have: giving a burn deck free cards = bad.
By mox killer on Wednesday, January 02, 2002 - 10:06 pm: is it just me or does Gzeiger suck at magic
