Some results from last night for those who wish to know, and to remind Lee-Yoshi incase he forgot!

Uk Jester (Jester) lost to Allen Schezard (IVY) in a close fought battle. It came down to loss time and 1-2HP difference. I made a mistake in my last turn when I attacked with the wrong weapon, although IVY had 4 Def points and thus may well have prevented all the damage I was about to deliver to him. All in all it was a good strategic battle but due to my error and a strong stratergy by my opponent, IVY absolutely deserved the win. This match was not really affected by any spates of bad dice rolls.

In related news, Redhead (RED) lost to Lee-yoshi. A terrible start for RED and a good start for Lee-yoshi gave him a good starting advantage. RED made a strong comeback and at one point looked like she was going to lock the match. Then it swung back to the green machines favour snd stayed that way until the he won.

For anyone in the league wishes to battle me, I will be online tonight, 11th December, and then will probably not be back online until 16th December, the same applies to Redhead.

Regards

UK Jester

Cheers for that info Blackghost. All the scores achieved last night will appear on the league table article shortly...

2 wins for me! Muahahaha! ^_^

[UK Jester]

Here are some more match results from last night.

Redhead (RED) beat Zallya (Zallya). In REDs own words, it was a win but it was a meaningless one. Poor Zallya had some awful luck with draws and dice rolls. By the time Zallya had got the first item equipped the match was already in the bag for RED.

Risu (Risu) beat Readhead (RED). This match was a hell of a lot closer than either parties or myself expected. Does this mean that Redhead will be kicking butt and taking names if we have a 2005 league?

Risu (Risu) beat UK Jester (Jester). Well, actually what happened was Risu steamrollered Jester. The match was short, sour and painful. I had the pleasure of rolling snake eyes after all my equipment had been trashed. Three hits later my HP looked rather silly compared to the 20 Risu had, but as I said to Risu, if the boot was on the other foot I would have shown no mercy either. This match was only memorable for the huge amount of editing we both did before the battle. And also for Risu changing decks because he wasn't convinced his 1st choice would do it. All I can say is it didn't matter.

UK Jester (Jester) beat Ruma (Ruma). My league deck needed to be completely reworked as I had trashed it while playing some non league matches. I fully expected a Tech deck so geared my defence heavily to that way. I got it wrong! As luck would have it, while rushing to recreate my deck, I skipped replacing a few cards and they turned out to be the poison apple for Ruma. Despite stuffing Rumas deck like a Christmas Turkey this was not the steamrollering in under 5 minutes like Risu vs myself. On a side note, Ruma had been out clubbing so was a little worse the wear from having a good time - I had (and still have) a rotten flu, and during the match I had mail from Risu which I kept reading, then RED grabbed the keyboard to reply to comments made in the mail! Suffice to say the mail was not any form of help for me, but more of a continuation of our earlier conversation! RED grabbing the keyboard just as I was about to select a defence card left me all of 5 seconds to act. Think I'll ban both of them from watching any of my future battles.

I was also informed (because I was asked not to watch the battle, although RED could) that poor Zallya lost to Risu. From what I have been told Zallyas deck did the abadonment trick again again and then external pressure to get offline strated shortly after the match started. If there was a catergory for most unluckiest player in the Ragol.co.uk awards I'd have to vote for Zallya. But at least Zallya has consistantly shown up for the league matches no matter how bad things have been, unlike a certain other player who joined, lost 3 in a row and then vanished. This is only a game people! Win, lose or draw, we can all learn something from each battle - I sure have.

Hmmm - at least 50% of the losses I see in this league, both my matches and other people's, are down to badly built decks, or constant Drawing of cards chasing something in the deck, leaving no defence or items at key points.

It's very easy to always blame the dice, and it's nice and polite and a good salve for the loser. Sure sometimes it is the luck, but bad luck can be handled effectively or ineffectively by the cards you A) put in your deck and B) choose to ditch in the Draw phase.

If both players have well built decks and considered drawing tactics, then sure it boils down to dice more often, but that isn't the case with many Ragol matches I've seen or fought.

[Risu]

To confirm my results of this weekend, I fought and won vs.:

RED
Jester
Zallya
Ruma
Fallifairy
Lee-Yoshi

EDIT - Added another....

[mr_shoe_uk]

Just beat Ria (Apple-Kitty)!

It started off very slowly, we both got poor rolls, apart from two to allow us to equip good weapons. They both had reasonable health, so a long portion of the match was a stand-off between the two weapons. Finally though, I beat hers, and she couldn't equip anything strong enough to withstand the attack I next used, allowing me to attack her directly! I got her down to 1 hp, and unfortunately for her, there was little chance of a comeback, as proved in the next go, where I beat her.

[Ruma]

Gah ... and another loss :/

Fallifairy vs Ruma - darned fix AP weapons

Online atm if anyones up for getting a match played
