Or “we only have an ate.”

One or the other should work.

Sorry folks…not working this week so not online much. I did submit throws yesterday evening though…

Likely story.

I found a video of you from yesterday early afternoon:

And we now have an update! (And yes, I will confirm EC had submitted throws earlier; my timing was the one thrown off now… :oops: )

Anyways… in our last update, we had Whiskey in :oh_noes: mode, being down 3-1 to EC. Was Whiskey able to live another day, or did EC wrap things up?

First throw:
R EzeklCumber
R Whiskey

Second Throw:
R-R EzeklCumber
R-R Whiskey

:squintyeyes: Hey… didn’t we see this before?

Third throw:
R-R-R EzeklCumber
R-R-R Whiskey

Fourth throw:
R-R-R-R EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R Whiskey

Yep - I’ve definitely seen this before!

Fifth Throw:
R-R-R-R-S EzeklCumber
R-R-R-R-R Whiskey

A surprise ending!! :astonished:

… and an ending that keeps Whiskey around for another game!

Wednesday evening update!

We last left of with Ezekial_Cumberland up 3-2 over Whiskey, with Whiskey staying alive after a Game 5 win. Can Whiskey work his magic once more, or will EC shut the door this time?

I’m guessing you’ll never guess how this game starts…

Throw 1:
R EzeklCumber
R Whiskey

:neutral_face:

(That’s my surprised face.)

Throw 2:
R-P EzeklCumber
R-R Whiskey

:yawning_face:
Yep, same thing again…

… wait, what was that??

Ezekial_Cumberland has defeated Whiskey in Game 6 and advances to the Final Four!!
:party:

I’ll just leave y’all on that note for now… :sweat: :popcorn:

*** THE FINAL FOUR!! * * *

First of all, congrats to all the Final Four entrants: Vorian_Atreides, Ezekial_Cumberland, The_Notorious_LINUS, and JFG. You will be acknowledged for your RPS prowess by having a region named after you in next year’s tournament - well done!! :clap: :clap:

But while that bit of prestige is nice, we all know what you’re looking for - the RPS Crown! So without further ado, let’s kick things off!

A reminder to those just tuning in, all matches will be Best-of-Seven, and I’ll update the thread when I have a completed match (or it’s been awhile, if there’s a lull in activity).

One programming note: Updates will be minimal this Friday and Monday, as your host will be attempting to catch the eclipse. Please don’t be alarmed by the lack of updates during that time (nor by the sun being eaten by the moon) - it’ll all work out! :+1:

What? This is baloney! Must’ve been too much rest between matches.

Not the way to defend the region, JFG. C’mon man!

I see that I’ve got @Ezekial_Cumberland running out to get more blinker fluid!!

But his delaying tactics are going to bear as much fruit as a . . . um . . . as a . . . tomato plant!!
