Quick update:
:oh_noes:

Actually, my first thought on today is:
:clap: :clap: :clap:
since y’all are doing a great job of paying attention - I think we’ve gotten a throw from almost everyone in an active match on the first day [and there’s still time for the rest of y’all to get started!] - this is the best start I can recall, so thank you! :+1:

But before we go to the details, a quick refresher on the “quick update” symbols:

:oh_noes: = a player is one throw away from elimination
:popcorn: = we’re going to the final “winner-take-all” game of the match
:skull_and_crossbones: = a player has been eliminated (and not-so-coincidentally a player has advanced)

Now that we’ve got the studio audience up to speed, let’s see the details behind this afternoon’s update:

  • Paper finally gets its first win
  • We’ve got our first two-throw game!
  • As noted above, we’ve got someone one the brink of elimination
  • The ALivelySedative Region gets the “first region to have everyone report” award! :star2:

Woah! I didn’t see that coming!

I seem to remember that nothing beats Rock, everything else I knew is a little fuzzy…

What the heck @JFG? Why are you being this rude?

My goal is to be notable as a RPS champion instead of…other things.

You can take comfort in knowing now I’ll obsess over my next set of throws.

Lol, good luck with that. You can be famous for two things you know.

There has to be some people who were too occupied with exams and professional folders.

:nitpick: Spectators can’t see that ALivelySedative has reported.

Isn’t there a Bible proverb that says something like “A man who is famous for two things doesn’t get fame at all?”

I mean, Bo knows, amirite?

:bacon: :fried_egg::coffee:

Quick Summary:
:skull_and_crossbones:

A lot going on this morning - we had 4 matches that are now knotted up at 1-1, and we also had our first elimination from the game :cry: … and our first Elite Eight entrant! :partying_face:

Oh, one administrative note: the next update will be late tonight… so plenty of time for y’all to get your throws in! :+1:

I am seriously horrible at this game. Good luck @JFG!

I see that @Celalta fell for my trap!!
:judge:

On a positive note . . . that means more time to moderate Time Wars!!

Interesting definition of positive there, VA. (I kid, I kid) (mostly)

My ego prefers the narrative that you were a fierce opponent that could only be defeated by my honed RPS skills.
