I was about to ask where we are with this, but it seems like Trance is out of an internet connection for the time being.
I don't really have anything to post. I'm faced off with Trance, so there's not much I can really do without metagaming. It's up to you guys if you want me to just post walking back and forth defensively, but I would advise carrying on, and Trance and I will sort out our fight as soon as he gets back.
After much deliberation, I'm hereby forfeiting this tournament. I'm not shy of or alien to commitment, but when an endeavor ends up feeling more like a chore than a pastime, one has to weigh the odds.
Hmm...perhaps, for our next attempt, we can try reformatting into something a little more short-term? Given the finicky/ADHD nature of most people on this site, I think it would help if we do it with only one or two rounds next time.
