I always enjoy hereing how everyone else did so here are my results and thoughts
ROOKIES: Sent 15, 60-44, 57.69%
APPRENTICES: Sent 10, 41-30, 57.75%
INITIATES: Sent 10, 40-30, 57.14%
ADEPTS: Sent 10, 68-30, 69.39%
CHAMPIONS: Sent 3, 4-9, 30.77%
CHALLENGERS: Sent 7, 35-21, 62.5%
FRESHMEN: Sent 1, 5-3, 62.5%
CONTENDERS: Sent 1, 2-3, 40.0%
PRIMUS: Sent 2, 8-6, 57.14%
TOTAL WARRIORS SENT: 59
TOTAL NUMBER OF WINS: 263
TOTAL NUMBER OF LOSSES: 172
COMBINED WIN/LOSS PERCENTAGE: 60.5%
TOTAL NUMBER OF TV'S: 11 (2 Runner-up's)
TV PERCENTAGE: 18.64%
I also was able to get a Wall of Steel out in the Bloodgames, his disgusting #'s are 17-18-3-11-21-3-11
The highlight of the tournament was making it to the finals in 2 Classes (Adepts and Challengers). The most memorable of the 2 was definitely the Challengers! Not only did my underskilled (38 FE, 134 skills, 4 stat trains, going into the tournament) warrior make it to the finals, but even more important Garth (Crip) finally read a finals fight I was in Thanks Garth
Overall it was a great tournament I met alot of old friends, and made some new ones Unfortunately I'm so tired right now I can't think straight enough to acknowledge anyone
See you all in Tempe where all my Adepts from this tournament plus about 10 more just as good that I refused to run due to timing will make a run at the Champions TC. I also don't expect any of my guy's to be sucked off for having to many skills in Challengers, so I should be right in the middle of things there also

This was my first face to face. Check out the results:
Rookies: 16 sent. 49-44 with 2 TV's
Apprentices: 13 sent. 39-39 with 1 TV
Initiates: 4 sent. 23-12 with 1 TV
Adepts: 1 sent. 4-3
Champs: 1 sent. 1-3
Freshman: 1 sent. 0-2
ADM: 3 sent. 16-9
Contenders: 2 sent. 2-8
Overall: 41 sent. 134-120 with 4 TV's and a w/l % of about 52.8%
Lowlight of the tourney: Having my last 3 guys knocked out within about 20 mintues of each other, with two going out in the semifinals.
Highlight: In round round 9 of the inits my big girl Shontey is fighting Rabbit's guy Won Two Mani. If I win this one I TV, if not I need to risk the 7-2 fight. I ask around a bit for some info and a few people come up to me and are like "Oh dude! This guy is tough. This and that and the other....he's so good....etc." Rabbit later tells me that this is perhaps not true, but in my mind I was fighting this prize modded cloned ass kicker. We tweak my strat a bit and I just feel sick to my stomach turning it in. I only hope that since Shontey is knacky that she can pull it off. Well, I get the fight and see that Shontey looked great, putting Won Two Mani down in a quick half minute with some flying longspear crits. Easily the highlight for me. Fighting vs. an established and respected veteran manager only made it that much cooler. Sorry it was at your expense Rabbit, but it was a cool moment for me. I'm sure the TC you pulled will dull the pain some
Overall I would say that my first FTF was an incredible experience. Getting to meet all the people was fantastic. Special thanks go out to Polaris, Mordraith, Sungod, Mithril, all the Sloshers, Master Tazo, Floyd, Destitute Noble, Jeckyl, Guardian, P Diddy, The Chaos Guys, Doc Steele, One Armed Bandit, and anyone I am forgeting. You made the experience great for me.
An extra special thank you goes out to Bookie. I was amazed at how different you were in person from what I was expecting from the FT and this site. I feel like I have made a new good friend, and look forward to seeing you in Tempe if you can make it. At the very least, hopefully you will be back on this site soon. Thanks for all the help and for being such a cool guy. You're the best.
Lastly, thanks to the ladies at RSI for such a fun weekend. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Tempe. Thanks for a great time.

After further thought, maybe publishing that might not be the best idea.... I'd hate to get people mad at some innocent fun at their expense. Besides, I don't have it. It's on Tazo's computer. You'll have to convince him; but I claim drunken innocense if anyone gets upset!

I think this may be my first post on the forums....
Face. 6-10-3, best warrior a TP 4-5-2
Mail-in, 9-8-2, best warrior, a LU 7-3-2
I didn't prep any of my warriors and have been on maintenance playing only in 1, 38, 100, and 102 totaling 11 warriors.
It was good seeing all the familiar faces again....I don't always know names or manager names. I spent a lot of the tournament helping out behind the desk putting turn output in the slots.

Nah, it's not that bad. If you can convince Tazo to post it, go for it.

I read the thing, and i think it's prollyh in everyone's best interest for it to remain unposted... not that there is anything inflamatory or anything though...
