Naturally, I too am one of the participants.

7 slots remaining.

I would like to join too!

Sure, why not.

6th place is mine, and I don't plan to mess up this time.

>>11581
Oh, this sounds like fun! I will take the seventh slot. I really enjoyed reading those old closed room blitz games...Now I just need to try and come up with some good ideas.

By the way, does Knox apply here? It would seem difficult to apply some of the rules (can you really present sufficient clues to the solution in a single paragraph without making it obvious?), but others might be viable.

>>11588
For that I suggest a vote. Only because I feel a few of the people already signed up may be opposed. If we do apply Knox I think we may also need to increase the number of minimum paragraphs though.

>>11581
Closed Room Blitz Tournament?! Sounds hella fun! Can't wait to read it.

>>11589
Well, it's not like I'm particularly in favour of it; I was just wondering about whether there'd be any restrictions on just how obscure the solutions are allowed to be.

I feel that some level of restriction is necessary, but bringing it to the point where the answer is deduced primarily from the text rather than from skilful use of the blue would sort of kill the spirit of the closed room blitz in my view. Obviously a balance needs to be found.

>>11591
Alright then.

Talked it over with other players on skype.
Our conclusion was Knox's 2nd, 3rd and 4th are the only ones the game should need.

This lurker would like to join if possible... though I wouldn't be able to start 'till Friday if that's okay.

If not, it's alright, good luck to you all!

>>11593
Now with all 8 players the tournament is ready.

Here are the pairs and the order each match will take place.

Now then the first players Kinjo and Rika, prepare a time and date which works for both of you. Ideally the first match should be within this week. Due to time zones I imagine we will not start for another day or two.

Once the date has been chosen the next pair is asked to do the same until the first rounds have all been planned.

Friday is good, but I might not be able to play until sunday. Anyway, do you have an IM or some way to contact you? Skype account if possible.
>>11591
Hey, do you have a Skype account? We have a group there with the players.

>>11594
Gah, I hate going first...

Anyway, I'm on a rather nocturnal schedule. I tend to wake up at about 4 or 5 PM my time, which is evening where you live. Would something like that work for you, Rika?

...And as for the date, I want at least a day to prepare, so is Thursday evening acceptable?

>>11595
I don't, sorry. Barely even aware of its existence, actually.

>>11596
Could you define 'evening'? I'm not sure how many hours apart we are. I should be fine for any time between about 6 and 10 pm on Thursday. For anything outside of that, I might be able to arrange it if I know in advance.

>>11597
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

You're 5 hours ahead of me, right? I'll wake up a bit earlier in the afternoon, then.

>>11598
Okay, that should be fine then~

>>11598
>>11601
Well that was easy. Forgot Kinjo was nocturnal as of late.

Anyway anon and Camphor, you guys are in the second match so it would be best if you figure out which date you will play before Kinjo and Rika face off in their match. Then once your match is planned Mion and Rudolf can set a date. Followed by Rosa and I.

I'm monitoring this shit.

>>11595
Sorry to keep you waiting, finals week isn't helping my case very much. Any day on or after this Friday until the next week actually works for me, so I can do Sunday or whatever is most convenient for you. I probably can't talk today, but my skype is camphorfloatage Decided to register for just the occasion...

Considering my schedule just become a little tougher than the usual, would you be interested in taking my spot in the tournament? No pressure, just asking.

Okay, I'm here. Ready when you are, Kinjo!

>>11607
He might not appear until another two hours or so, probably.

>>11607
>>11608
I'm here, I'm here!

>>11609
Sure, go ahead I guess!

>>11612
Well, looks like I'm out.

Good game, Rika.

>>11629
Haha, I think you gave up a little quickly there! I didn't get the part about the culprit hiding under the bed, after all. You could have stalled for a little while with that. Good game though!

Alright then, the first match has been concluded. Rika moves on to the semi finals.

Now then, it seems the 2nd pair is having a few problems planning so if the 3rd pair is ready before them then I'll allow them to budge in line if they so desire.

If Mion or Rudolf wishes to compete tomorrow or on Saturday the offer is still up, until then it seems anon vs Camphor has now been scheduled for Sunday 11am.

Last edited at 13/05/23(Thu)21:39

Haha, didn't think I'd be so nervous... Ready whenever anon is...

>>11633
I'm rooting for you man, good luck !

Oh man, sorry for the delay. Give me a minute, need to wake up a little bit.

>>11633
If you check the box beside a post and then go to the bottom of the page you will find the delete button. Good to know for the future.

In an unexpected victory Anon will move on to face Rika in the semi-finals.
Camphor had to leave but he will post his answer later.

Mion vs Rudolf is next. Please get the date and time for your match prepared.

With that the third match come to a close with Mion as the victor.

The final match of the preliminary round is next. Rosa vs Myself.
The winner will move on and become the last semi-finalist.

Well it seems I won.

With that match now finished we shall move onto the semi-finals. I have updated the bracket as such so please remind yourself of who you shall be facing.

Rika vs Anon is the next match so I ask the both of you to scheduled a time and date once again.

Alright, how about Sunday again? Board time, usually at what hour are you online?

>>11764
This board could really do with a clock, huh? I'll post this to check the time and then edit once I've ascertained the time difference.

...Okay, any time from around 11:30 board time should be okay, I believe. If that is okay with you. If not, we can probably arrange something else; I am pretty much free that day.

A timer huh? Maybe that can be arranged another day. Anyway, to avoid a problem like last time, 1PM would be pretty good for me.

>>11766
Sure, 1 pm is fine with me. See you then~

>>11767
I'm already here, brb 10 minutes.

>>11768
I'm here too, feel free to make a thread whenever you're ready~

Again with a surprising match, anon will move on to the final round.

Mion vs Myself is the next match. This will decided who will face anon in the finals.

And with that we have the finalists: Anon and Myself

The champion match will take place tomorrow.

The match ended up being rescheduled to Sunday the 9th.

>>11871
Also after the final match be prepared for a stream by yours truly, along with a special surprise. It'd be neat if everyone who participated in the tournament was there to see it, anyway.

Very well, it was decided the last match will be tomorrow at 1 PM board time. Hope to have you around etc.

The winner is anon due to mistaken logic error. Good game.

Thank you for all who played I hope you enjoyed it.

>>12028
