Asathor - AgusBalin 6 : 0

wasn't it 5-1? At least i've been told that the result was 33-19 or something like that...

[Balin]

I'm very sorry to say this, but it seems there was some cheating yesterday. Maybe our tournament organizer has something to say about the subject...

ehm, can you do us a favour and NOT post things like that here in the public??
i had such a great experience this year palying nations cup, good games & fair players, so please dont spoil this.
if there are some issues that have to be discussed, please do this behind the curtain and tell us the result - whatever it is.

[Balin]

I'm just asking for the organizer's thoughts about this, that's all. I'm not insulting anybody.

[Alter Tuk]

Oh it was very late last night. Edited the result.

Agus, what do you mean? Do you have any accusations?

dont worry, i didnt mean to accuse you of anything. i know you are a nice guy
i just wanted to make sure in advance, this doesnt become some flame war, that nobody wants to read about. nothing happened so far, and thats good.
of course things should be sorted out and discussed, all i ask is to do this not in a public forum.

As you said, 'It`s pretty obvious but there is no evidence.' I really appreciate Marcos as a friend so far, then if he says he was not there coaching his friend, I must believe him.

But I can't assure you that Kike and me will play next NatsCup... let's things get cold, and we'll see.

Enjoy Lure you lucky guys who go there!

Nice bronze medal game vs. Bernd - wizard died, fatty died, my precious died, dwarves died ... but in the end my last roll in this tournament was 12, wouldn't have needed to battle that swarm of pukel-men for the sake of getting the scroll out first .

Good tourney Peregrin! I wish we could watch games during preliminary rounds too. Maybe allowing to change decks for finals would lessen the effects of scouting.. ?

[marcos]

agree, i think it was the most exciting cup ever!

I think there are certain rules matters that has to be polished (deck swapping, tie-breakers for example), but all in all it was an excellent tournament.

Hope we get more teams in the next ones

Before we definitely put the word "end" on this Nations Cup's edition, there's still one game which is supposed to be played, but still didn't take place. How are we going to deal with this?
