lol Incand-- you're not running away with it... only up by 5 games.

In this challenge, 5 up would be running away with it, believe me.

Okay.... you're running away with it. They win 2 instead of you then it becomes even -- or a slaughter in your eyes?

It's like you're not listening to me. We're not really up 5, that's the whole point, they have several sure wins about to wrap up. Thus the margin is really more like 1 or 2.

And yes, this really will come down to a handful of dice rolls in a handful of key moments, given that we're talking about the two finest clans on the site.

You've contradicted yourself on each post-- but no worries.

Games are only added when they've been completed, been that way since the beginning, even if there's only 1 enemy left to kill, as in Iberia quads, or even 1 terit left to kill, as in VotK quads.

I checked the games less than an hour ago, but if games have finished since then, by all means do please post them.

Game 4824158

THOTA wins

this makes 30 wins, we need 1 more win all to remain undefeated in clan challenges

well, i guess a tie would still mean undefeated too, technically :-s

great challenge all, been real, been fun, and you know what? it has been real fun O:)

Always nice to have great competition

Actually, having just gone thru and counted, there are more standard gameplay maps than you'd think. Using a purely objective differentiation between simple and complex maps (the marginal examples were Bamboo jack for the former and KotM for the latter), THOTA's 30 home games broke down to 20 standard and 10 complex, LoW 12 standard, 18 complex.

by **waseemalim** on Wed Jun 03, 2009 11:46 pm

oh man, we are just pathetic at dubs.

by **David_Wain** on Thu Jun 04, 2009 6:39 am

lol I did wonder, I expected us to have a bigger edge in quads and trips but obv not.

by **waseemalim** on Thu Jun 04, 2009 9:30 am

perhaps we should expand this challenge by another 20 games.

yes that or probably beat us by a wider margin. We are well accustomed to each others ways now -- shouldnt be a problem for you guys.

well wait and see what other ponies have to say about this, wouldnt put my money on it, we got other plans

by **Big Whiskey** on Thu Jun 04, 2009 11:09 am

We asked LOW for a 100 game challenge from the start.Like Nik said,we have other clans waiting to challenge us so 60 games is where we part.I can't speak for the entire clan but I for one would have no problem with a rematch in 2-3 months.Regardless of the outcome,ever game in this challenge has been a great one.LOW is a great clan and I have the highest respect for all of you.Thanks for the best challenge I have ever been part of.Well Done LOW! =D>

by **David_Wain** on Thu Jun 04, 2009 4:05 pm

Could still end in a tie. LOL at extending by 20 games what good would that serve anything ca happen in 20 games. A rematch at a later point would be cool.
