Me points at the "Make movie self contained" radio button.

Or just don't use proprietary video codecs at all. They're a massive pain to play under 64-bit Linux.

You want a pain? Try playing an AVI-wrapped WMV9 on a Mac. Even Microsoft's own media player doesn't know what to do with that one. Have to take it to another machine and transcode it into a format that exists in the real world. Why anyone would wrap WMV9 in an AVI container is beyond me.

/me points at Martin's '/me points at the "Make movie self contained" radio button.' post... pointing... with a rather decerned look on his face... but still, pointing...

I *really* would like to see the flick (and not because my LT stars in it, or anything...)... really...

:p

Phaserlight, you have a time you will be in-game in the next few days?

Please try to finish your matches so we can close the book on this.

I think that if Phaser is having trouble getting online, then I might just invalidate those matches... Smittens too, unless he gets those done.

I'll wait one more week.

Ok, I need to hear back from some peeps.

So

Ghost Needs to fight MysticRogue, Phaserlight, and Faceless
Shape Needs to fight Phaserlight and Smittens
MysticRogue Needs to fight Smittens, Ghost, and Phaserlight
Faceless needs to fight Ghost, Smittens and Phaserlight
Harpo needs to fight Phaserlight
tumblemonster needs to fight Phaserlight
Smittens needs to fight Shape, MysticRogue, Faceless, and Ghost
Phaserlight needs to fight all of the above except for smitt.

This being the case, I'm DQ'ing Phaserlight, I'll give the others an opportunity to finish. (No hard feelins Phaser, but it could take a long while)

(To Nerde: Yeah I know this hurts you by taking Phaser out, since you were the only one to pull wins off him, but Its time for this one to end)

But Get it done guys! I want to start a new one!

Shape vs Smittens

Shape's Choice: Hog mk III, megaposi and N2, heavy batt: Shape wins
Smit's Choice:Hornet mk II, quad adv Rails, heavy batt: Smitt wins

So, I end the tournament with 15. Current scores (Phaserlight Removed)

Shape 15 (finished 1st) wins 2250000
Nerde 12 (finished 2nd) wins 1125000
Harpo 10 (finished 3rd) wins 450000
tumble 9.5 (finished 4th)
Smittens 5 (2 fights left)
Faceless 4.5 (2 fights left)
_Ghost_ 4 (2 fights left)
MysticRogue 2 (2 fights left)
Lebermac 2 (finished)

the top 3 are decided.

seeing as it was my tournament in the first place, and there weren't enough entries for any brilliancy prizes:
I'm going to redistribute my prize and the other one to the other winners as follows:

300k to second
300k to third, so that Harpo actually makes a lil cash here.
550k to fourth, seeing as tumble came so close
300k to fifth, whomever that may be
250k to sixth
200k to seventh
150k to eighth
100k to ninth

Going to start a new Thread for the next tourney, which will NOT be round robin (takes too damn long)

Sign up, and I'll start developing the pairings, I think I'm going to go with double elimination though

Shape, your prize amounts are off a bit, since you seem to have removed Phaserlight's entry from your numbers (unless you returned his fee, in which case it all makes sense).
Nov 29, 2005 Shapenaji link
eh, I never actually got his fee
Nov 29, 2005 greengeek link
I see. Makes sense now

Feel free to go ahead and remove me from the tourny, I'm kinda unable to get ingame for a bit.

It's up to y'all won't hurt my feelings either way.
Dec 01, 2005 smittens link
Effer! I want your monies!
Dec 01, 2005 LeberMac link
Borb we know you have no feelings, anyway.
(Thanks for taking it easy on me in the tourney, BTW.)
