yes i did shit, and while you're all pointing and laughing, i'll see what i can think up to make the format a little fairer and less dominated by the horrors of the multiplayer

I don't see why its "domniated" by the multiplayer when more points are available in the first round generally. + the multiplayer is pretty fun, and I was on 13 life after about 5 turns with no creatures and little land, it took some real tact to hang in there. The multiplayer is also the most fun part of the Tournament, and a great end, driven by the rewards of doing well in it.
Anyways no one is pointing and laughing, you should point out your 'noble', sacrifice in destroying Luke, he did miss out by half a point after all

The multiplayer is also the most fun part of the Tournament, and a great end, driven by the rewards of doing well in it. I am no questioning that the multiplayer was not fun, i am questioning the fact the such a large amount of points are available for something that is as much down to chance as 'tact' or 'stratagey', did you aquire not aquire 8 points from the multiplayer? that is more than what second place finished with after both rounds... The simplest solution i can come up with is to increase the points in the single player rounds to 1.5 or 2 per win and keep the multiplayer as it is. There is no multiplayer round at DCI events, as it is hard enough to build a deck in limited that competent in single player never mind one that has the potential to kill 5-7 players.

Brown..... Like those 3 attempts to destroy which resulted in you losing lots of creatures, and that final wadda, where you sent everything in, I played that card which killed pretty much everything and then you accused me of betrayal....I would have died otherwise! ! !
You also forget my killing of Tim's creatures to keep you in the game.
Laharl....
I was only so succesful down to my timing and having a bit more knowledge of the rules than Charly, whence my theiving his kills. Plus the single player round is something of a formality, and the players who do well in the singles tend to be the ones who podium anyways. There is more of a sporting aspect to multiplayer, given it is based on human interaction, one on one is typically won on who happens to get the best ordered of cards by random.

you where the only player to dispatch other players based on threat analysis, not reputation or an OGC grudge, hence you won, well done for remaining cool headed enough to that-i couldn't manage it.
plus there are four words that give you a little help:
Jaya Ballad, Task Mage
the fact she had free whim to do whatever she pleased is solid eveidence of the lack of threat analysis shown by the other players (myself included)

I did expect her to die, she seemed to survive a long time, until my apparant betrayal of brown, where i blew her and all of browns creatures up when they attacked me! !
