I have to agree with Rookie here. GC98 was incredibly awesome, and IMO, well
worth the money I spent (I know Rookie probably spent more ;)
As for the Bitch (I'll say it for ya guy :), the tournament went incredibly
well overall, except for the arrangement of the teams and who made it in to
the pre-registration slots.
The RN Team (with one person exception) didn't make it to round two, greatly
because (so I was informed) of Teamwork, which was a major thing for points
scoring. There was one member who didn't find it easy to work with the group
(Tim Kerby, Tim Mathena, Jessica Grota, Gurth (I'm being nice, hate spelling
that name), and Thomas Price) and became in general an overall annoyance who
wandered around, had to go talk with her boyfriend (in another team no less)
and whatnot else.
As for the Tournament Theme, because I was a "Lurker" (thank you Granite for
that privilege), I got to watch about 4 teams in total action, and hear all of
them. Very good overall, and some of it was outright enlightening (word of
advice, never use a Water Elemental to move the water away from the blade of a
boat you are told to keep in Pristine condition by the Johnson).
Anyway, I digressed, the Tournaments for SR and ED were intricately linked,
with Bitrunner (Rodger) having been the writer (withholding comment). Lofwyr
was the catalyst structure for such, and the details are too long for me to
desire to go into. However, the group that won this year won -both-
tournaments, and managed to take that honor, away from last years team winners
(which were present).
