So you guys are good unless you lose power. Then you have to play Malifaux by Gaslight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerealkiller195 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Nice spread of factions, I'm surprised that the arcanists do not have more though. Can't wait to see more live updates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolomyte Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Nice spread of factions, I'm surprised that the arcanists do not have more though. Can't wait to see more live updates! Just theory, but my guess is colette players dont really feel she is in her comfort zone at less then 35SS. If nova is running a higher SS tournie, which I think they are, I expect that number to be higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nix Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Round 2 begun. Here are some glimpses: Table 1 - Hamelin vs Leveticus. (Levi is Levi plus Collodi) Table 2 - Zoraida vs Kirai Table 3 - Lady Justice vs Zoraida Table 4 - Lucius vs Lilith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Rounds 3 just started. Standings by faction as follows (with scoring at round 3). Remember, rounds can shift a bit based on overall scores. Neverborn (12vp/6TP/7Diff)Neverborn (8/6/4)Neverborn (10/6/3)Outcast (14/4/8)Outcast (13/4/7)Neverborn (12/4/7)Resser (13/4/6)Resser (11/4/1)Guild (10/3/5)Resser (12/3/4)Guild (7/3/2)Outcasts (5/3/-1)Outcast (7/3/-2)Arcanist (4/3/-2)Neverborn (7/3/-5)Outcast (4/3/-6)Guild (7/1/-6)Resser (8/0/-2)Neverborn (4/0/-3)Guild / Resser (4/0/-8)Arcanist (2/0/-11) The big upset that round was the top table outcast players drawing their game and dropping down to 4th and 5th place overall. Still fairly big changes, with only 3 players going into round 3 with win's. Surprising (to me), some well known board members have taken some real hard hits and dropped low down the rankings. Other "Newer" player have stepped up to the top tables showing some real competition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolomyte Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 So based on your posted tables before the top three neverborn Were Z, Z, and Lilith? Still the same masters or they swapping em around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetid Strumpet Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Color me unsurprised. I'll be the first to admit however that things can change wildly up until the final match is over. While the current standings don't surprise me in the least we need to wait until the final results are in until we can really add this data to our discussions.

Right, At Gencon I think two of the top 4 players dropped down a lot after there loss in the last round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
