EDIT: I forgot this forum doesn't allow phone emojis
Putting everything up tonight.
I know you've been busy, was just checking in
I don't even know what your emojis were.
I assumed it was just hearts.
Results are posted and brackets are updated. Next semi-final goes up tomorrow
Holy shit. OK, then.
Gj mth.
Major props to Randolph. I had a feeling I was done after that last post. I had some strong arguments, but getting past the armor made this kind of an impossible task. Great debate.
i thought both these rounds were very close. Could have gone either way.
I enjoyed reading these. Kind of highlight why this is such a fun tournament.
Genuinely thought you'd take it as I said in the rep. Figured my not understanding your abilities was my undoing but thought I might as well be honest about it, at least. Expected a harsher response to doing that.Originally Posted by Listo95
Thanks! I knew I had an uphill battle with you cuz I thought you had a better understanding of your character than I do with mine. Going last always gives you a bit of an edge and I think I needed that just to have a hope of winning.
Might be a day or two for my second post. Working tomorrow then seeing the in-laws. Working Sunday but might have time in the evening. Monday I am free all day, though.
No rush. At least it lets me relax this weekend
@Dreyski The time for relaxing is over...
What do you think Roadrunner's pronouns are?

Also, these things always look a lot better on my word-compatible document than when I put them on here.
He/him
Final post should be up today or tomorrow.
Out tomorrow night, should have time to finish this off late Saturday.
Done now. Probably the most evident thing is that I'm willing to bet neither @mth or I have watched the Haunted Mansion (2003).
Judges, get your arses in gear.
I have not. Hell of a scrap. May the best man win.
Ditto - had to pull deep from the well for this one.
I’ll have a read tomorrow after work.
The judgment has been cast.
Good read!
It ain't me.
Vote Caito
Hasn't been on in nearly a month. Hope he's okay.
Congratulations to Dreyski.
Mth with another good Looney Tunes run.
The finals between Randolph and Dreyski should be epic.
Congrats @Dreyski. Tough fight. Wasn't sure which way it was gonna go.
Good fight, you definitely pushed me to think outside the box. It might even have come down to being able to have the final word.
For a laugh, I asked ChatGPT how Ezio could beat Roadrunner:
Ezio Auditore, from the Assassin's Creed video game series, is a skilled assassin with various weapons and abilities. However, defeating the Roadrunner, a fictional character known for its incredible speed and elusiveness, would be an extremely challenging task. Since the Roadrunner is not bound by the laws of reality, traditional combat techniques may not be effective. Nevertheless, if we take a creative approach, here's a lighthearted strategy for Ezio Auditore to "beat" the Roadrunner:
- Study the Roadrunner: Ezio would need to observe the Roadrunner's behavior, patterns, and preferred habitats. Understanding the Roadrunner's tendencies and typical escape routes could help Ezio anticipate its movements.
- Plan a trap: Ezio is known for his strategic thinking and resourcefulness. He could set up an intricate trap or series of obstacles that would exploit the Roadrunner's speed. Using his knowledge of the environment, Ezio could create a situation where the Roadrunner inadvertently runs into the trap or encounters a barrier that slows it down.
- Utilize gadgets and tools: Ezio is equipped with an array of gadgets and weapons. While they may not directly harm the Roadrunner, Ezio could employ tools like smoke bombs, distractions, or even a net launcher to temporarily hinder the Roadrunner's movement and limit its escape options.
- Outsmart the Roadrunner: Ezio is not just a skilled combatant but also a master of stealth and deception. He could employ tactics that deceive the Roadrunner or lure it into a vulnerable position. For example, setting up a decoy or using his agility to confuse the Roadrunner could create an opportunity for Ezio to gain the upper hand.
- Collaborate with other characters: Ezio could enlist the help of other characters from the Assassin's Creed universe or allies familiar with the Roadrunner's antics. They could provide additional insight, resources, or distraction techniques to aid in the overall plan.
It's important to note that this strategy is purely imaginative and intended for entertainment purposes. The Roadrunner's fictional abilities often defy conventional methods of defeat, and its unmatched speed remains its greatest advantage. Enjoying the humor and creativity of the Roadrunner cartoons is usually the best way to appreciate this iconic character.
OK now do one where I win...
I'm still kinda curious about this :P
Final goes up tomorrow
Oh yeah, sorry about that. It's pretty much what mth said in his second post. I'm not much of a Final Fantasy nut and even less a fan of MMORPGs, so I wasn't sure where I could go with it. I guessed it was a player character that you could play as you wanted, but I have no idea about backstory, feats, alignment, motivation etc. I even went into a FF wiki but couldn't find anything. It gave me very little to work against.
Yeah its essentially the player character (mine in specific). Feats are countless, Warrior of Light, we the good guys and help all I can. Backstory is kinda non existant except for the race.
No more final fantasy characters for me. That’s Cloud and Squall I’ve done now and Zidane being next would be jumping the shark.
Will come back with a new angle/character next time. Need to beat this second round itch.
Unless maybe unsent Auron.
Not even ChatGPT thinks it's possible.
Man, I'm fucked.
If it makes you feel any better, I've had more than one Fiction Fight where I didn't make it past the first round. Hell, i was considering attempting a redemption for Chester Cheetah in this one and you'd have probably cleaned my clock then...
Considering the glorious work you did with Roadrunner, I’d like to see you do Woody Woodpecker next.
I don't think I've ever seen a Woody Woodpecker cartoon in my life.
Prepare to lose your woody virginity:
Securing the final judge. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow morning
Wanted to lock down the judges in advance. Psych will be joining the judging panel. Final will go up tomorrow
Should have first post up tomorrow night
First post is up @Randolph
Ummm.500 or 400?
500. Forgot to change the 2nd one
I'm a bit out of practice waiting for the final match, but I got my first post up. Already devising a strategy and we will see how it will go. Should be fun.
Second post up sometime over the weekend.
2nd post up now. Your move @Randolph
Ready to go @Dreyski
Hopefully tomorrow evening.
I'm done. Bring it home, @Randolph.
I have a rare full weekend off so if Rando can finish if off, will get my vote in then.
Well so much for that lol.I have a rare full weekend off so if Rando can finish if off, will get my vote in then.
Watching Forbidden Door after work tomorrow so won’t be til Tues/Weds if @Randolph gets a move on.
Sorry, work and a weekend in the woods got me away from my computer with all my Xanatos info.
I'll try to turn it in tomorrow night after I get done with work.
Looking good so far fellas.
I’ll get vote in tomorrow night.
Okay definitely tomorrow. Got distracted by real life but commuting straight home after my training.
Getting up at 5am and going through modules is a fucking bitch. Heid is complete mince!
Is one of the modules about responding to being inappropriately tickled?
I'll have my vote in tonight or tomorrow
If only it was that interesting. Nah just learning a new skillset at my job and lot of reading through modules and quizzes. Shame this couldn’t be done on Teams from home as commuting early is a bitch.
Should have vote in by night’s end.
Sent in judgement. @Mazer
All votes are in. Will post tonight
Congratulations to our victor.....
Congrats Randolph. In the semis, Xanatos was the one person I didn’t want to face. Did what I could, but couldn’t get past that suit.
Great work, y'all. And congrats to Randolph! Hell of a fight through the tournament.
Congrats!
Great fun participating in this.
YES! From a first round exit the last time I played all the way to the title. This was fun and very tough. Thanks guys, I did more research on a show I haven't watched in years than I ever thought I would.
And thanks Mazer for setting the game up!
Thanks for inspiring me to rewatch Gargoyles at some point this year.
Yeah I need to do that. Been meaning to
I loved the debates this year. Some very strong work.
Great job by all. Appreciate dreykski jumping in and having a great run.
Nice to get some new participants showing strong as well.
Great job by Randolph. Consistent performance and really did well building round by round. Well-earned win.
Thanks for running and hosting, Mazer. I know life has been a bit busier for you lately and it probably wasn't always easy to have the energy to do the thing, but you still kept the ship running, and I think most of us would say we had a good time. Also great arena selections.
