PvP Tournament

[GM-Pandora]

Poor alex

Hopefully you can fix your computer by then. If not, I can probably take over, but that would be a shame, it was your event. If you'd rather postpone it's ok too.

[Kaoreii]

if absolutely nothing else, if you need to you can postpone it until you can use my laptop.

but hopefully you'll have it fixed by then. :o

The sound card on this PC has been fried for like 5 years. Even if I got vent and it was able to run, what good would that do? As for what's happening...every time I boot the PC, it never goes to Windows. Instead, it stops during the boot process, states "NTLDR is missing, press ctrl+alt+delete to restart". from there, I can either restart. Or stare at the pretty letters.

I did a google search on it, and I'm trying the various fixes across the web.

I searched for the file, and the first site I came across seems good.

Did you attempt to partition your drive or something?

[Alexander]

I think I fixed it. I copied the boot files to a floppy disk, and booted from the floppy. The windows registry seemed to get reset however, but I got into Windows where all my drivers had crashed, and needed to be re-installed. I found count 'em- 300,000 files sitting in the root directory of my C drive. After deleting those, I ran a dos-program also on the floppy to re-copy the "missing" files. Hopefully, all is well.

I still have some damage, certain lost cookies and saved preferances and such. But oh well.

Registration is officially closed.

So whats the latest on your computer? Is it functional? And is the tournament still up for tomorrow or postponed?

I wont be able to make it unfortunatly, but another GM like Mystra/Auron/Aegis can give the prizes and check everything.

[Alexander]

It's operational right now, best I can say. I just finished randomizing the match-ups. The turned out pretty good, I think. The listing of round 1's pairings:

Zabaza
Backhand

Ms. Hina
Kaede

Squall
Dual

Huntress
Deye

Krimlin
Tremor

Wiz-Raizen
Sheepdude

If you look closely at the brackets, or mentally draw them since well, I don't feel like doing something in paint or something. The semi-finals ends up with 3 people. Bleh. So, to attempt to fix this, the person who enters the semi-finals with the best win / loss record, gets a bye. It makes things a little more complicated, but there's no fairer way to do it.

I can't be there at the Tournament anymore, I am sorry!

[GM-Pandora]

If no GM can make I'll try to give you the prizes to distribute beforehand.
