Tournament Tales

Technic Tournament 3 & Knuckles is on its Title Match right now, and I’m laughing.

 

Partly out of rage at how the RNG seems to highly favor that wretched, boring, Sue-like shark over our challenger, I’ll admit.

 

But mostly over this other thing.

 

So, this time around, each player only gets one attempt at promotion during the Title Match—that’s it. You have one chance to bring in money for your fighter, and after that, all you can do is wait. Most people are doing what they’ve been doing even before this rule went into effect: throwing all their money in at once. Because of the additional multipliers I’m using on Title Match rolls, nearly every attempt is bringing in millions—Lucina brought in over 21 million alone.

 

And then there’s this post, and the fact that it resulted in a whopping 4 W.

 

Keep in mind, Luroka is the entire reason Pridak is in Technic Tournament, requesting the fighter when I announced the first tournament even though I had already decided on the roster so I decided to put him in Tournament 2. (A mistake, I now realize, but that’s neither here nor there.)

 

So I can only envision all these investors meeting up at the Tournament facility, waving around giant wads of cash, and then Luroka walks in—Pridak’s number one fan, they think, the one who will ensure the shark’s victory. And he just pulls out one dollar. Sets it down on the table. We all stare at him as the ad airs, and we find out that it has sold almost half a ticket.

 

And it gets better, because this is actually a great tactic! Because if Pridak wins, then all 50 million-ish Widgets this match has made is going to get divided up equally amongst Pridak’s supporters, most of whom currently have no money to their name and will be tied. But Luroka, who only sold half a ticket, has a 700,000 W lead on them.

 

I’m not kidding when I say this has renewed my passion for running this game. Technic Tournament 4 in 3D just got moved up.

Ah... I remember the very short story I wrote for the original Technic Tournament... back when Onua was the fighter to fear... good times, good times.

Normally I would not be okay with Luroka winning

 

But in this case, his victory could also guarantee Pridak's victory

 

And so I am okay with Luroka winning

I just want you to know that I am reworking Tournament 4 with the express purpose of tearing the Title away from Pridak.

 

I might not be able to control the RNG, but I will do everything I can to create a situation where it has no choice but to destroy that unimportant shark.

I tried to use this tactic rounds 1 and 2/3, though in the end it didn't even matter because you could only sponsor one fighter in the final match, so all that became completely pointless and most of us ended up receiving that 700,000K. 

 

Also, I am so up for some Pridak destroying. Perhaps with a certain Destroyer... yes... clearly, the Hunter form was not enough. Although I do that and the Destroyer becomes the very thing I tried to set out to destroy... 

 

I guess I stared into Pridak's deep abyssal eyes too long, and Pridak stared back into me...

I'm laughing hysterically, not because of mine and OMEGA PRIDAK's imminent victory, but because you are trying to stop his royal bloodstainedness. And we're trying to stop you from stopping it. But most importantly, the fact that this all started from a joke in Technic Warzone.

Since I'm trying to not re-use characters until I have to, even counting form changes, I don't think Umarak the Destroyer will be in the Tournament any time soon.

 

But I'll tell you that Star Wars constraction is an included line next time around.  And I'm hoping that will capitalize on the good reception of Episode VII and end up with Pridak impaled on a lightsaber.

The entire Technic Tournament stock has crashed.  We've lost everything.
