In for a long haul....

[Shimarisu]

Sleeping pills - check (and taken, and didn't exactly work. ><)
Wine - check, also did not knock me out, stupid insomnia.
Coffee - check (black, 5 teaspoons of Nescafe in every cup.)
Lethally high dose caffeine energy drinks - check (as bad as Lipovitan, none of your weak
American/euro crap - Red Bull, pah!)
GBA for boring bits waiting for tourneys - check
Back up player to take over if I pass out - check
Pouilly deck for thrashing COM quickly - check

I'll be up for the next TWENTY SIX FRICKING HOURS.

Wish me luck, everyone! We'll be recording progress on the TV card too.

Good luck, I don't have the wakefulness to actually do that... Although I will be online now that my brand ew Keyboard Adaptor came in the mail and I can play without having to stop for 2 minutes to type a simple "hello"

[Shimarisu]

When are you coming online? I'll be on Rigel 7 I guess, as my FOmar, Arion.

The plan is that a bunch of us are going to play each other for EXP. This is so we can promise not to use cheap decks. I guess if we end up on Mintaka, people will use pouilly and crap on us, and I'm not really putting up with that when we need to win at least half the time. So we're using fair decks, and also, we all know each other's decks so we stand half a chance, heh.

I don't know if the other 2 guys involved in this ploy are going to be on at this insane hour (they are in America, so may be on later). 2 of us will be though, and maybe another *boots Zane in hopeful attempt to wake him up.*

- Shimarisu (7.24 AM here, slightly more reasonable).

[Arislan]

I'll bring on my incredibly low levelled poor Arislan, be on in a few. Willing to play, but like I said, I'm not in it for the long 24 hour haul. Should be fun.

[HaLLa]

Do you have to stay up because your in a tournament?

Also I would get online if I had japanese verson of episode 1 and 2

sigh

[Jonathan_F]

I'm in for the long haul too...strange. Ranks haven't changed yet to whatever they're supposed to be labeled for this. Do you think ST messed up some how? How are we going to keep track of who's winning? Also are we required to fight other people or can we do this fighting comps?

[Jools]

Good Luck Shimarisu, I will be looking out for you.

How much storage space do you have? Twenty six hours would fill 80 gigs!

[Jools]

Just saw the F Cup number one on Mintaka, called "elenor(s)". She was only level one with about 36 wins too, whats up with that?

Jools

[Arislan]

'Fraid I'm going to have to drop out, too much stuff to do regarding real life to spend time on gameplay...

[Tevren]

Good luck to the two of you Shimarisu.

[Jonathan_F]

Then that just leaves us then.

i'm rank 96 right now...i'm hoping that the same thing will happen to all of the other major competitors in japan. School or work. This tournament started after such things had ended. (8 pm in japan

[Zaneatron]

Japanese children go to school on saturdays. so it should removea fair amount of them from the running.

[Jonathan_F]

10 1/2 hours in, rank 73.

And in other news, I beat a pouilly deck with a hunter. But dang that battle came down to the wire.

[-STE-]

12 hours rank 13 15 000 more points and now i stop headcake wont play more zzzz

[Link00seven]

Good Luck!!

If I renew my HL tonight, ill try making it on to witness.

[Zebulan7]

Jonathon_F, if you are on vacation, how are you able to play? I hope you are getting some video, I'm feeling quite lonely. Which is rather sad.

[Shimarisu]

14 1/2 hours in, ranked 17. I'm not going to stop, and I'm still rising, so I should be in the final at this rate.

- Shimarisu

[Zebulan7]

Go for it, this is getting exciting. Even if I can't see it. Only 11 1/2 more hours!

[Jools]

Cant get onto Mintaka 2 at all, its chocablock. 146 people there, Jeez.

[Jools]

Thats enough for me, going to bed now.

Only played for about a quarter of the day and made it to around 100. I'm happy with that.

Jools

[Jonathan_F]

i've given up. I've been stuck at the 70's ranking for the last 4-5 hours now. No way i'll make it now with the end of school and work looming. Shimarisu, lets talk if you're in the top 16 when this is all over as I'm unable to provide videos of the finals now.

[Arislan]

Remember though that not everyone is going to hang in for the whole 24 hours... You'll likely hop up a bit when it comes closer to the end, just due to people not being able to stay awake.

[Shimarisu]

I'm now rank 10. And I can't provide videos either. Arislan, you broke my TV card. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Or rather, you were the last pic I took with it before the STUPID THING, WITH MIRACULOUS TIMING, BLEW UP. If anybody can take pics of the finals, I need help. In the meantime, we're going to buy a lot of cheap mem cards and try to take pictures on the in-game camera.

- Shimarisu

[HaLLa]

How does this work? You keep battling and the person with most wins is #1 in that time period and when done whoever has most wins is the winner?

[Arislan]

Sorry Shim, guess I'm just not very photogenic... I was looking forward to videos of the finals too. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
