OK, that's both my RPs in. Hopefully I can do well in both of 'em!

DP, primarily for an update.

Half of the results are up... because they were forfeits.

Seriously? Ugh. Come on guys...

By the way, are writing assignments up yet?

Least I was on time this time, really annoyed Lethal Carriageway come through on forfeit, I was really looking forward to that battle.

Admittedly, I'm quite disappointed that Smiler VS Mineswept Away in particular was a forfeit- especially at this stage of the game. Like, if I'm going to advance, I'd rather earn it through a good fight with my opponent than simply going through by default, you know?

We congregate on an IM system like one Facebook has, or Skype, or Discord (which we've been using for several months now) and then decide the winners from there.

As such, you've given us no real contact info for a while so it was impossible to get you here for this. As such, me, NWOWWE, and The_Angry_Goat (along with required third-party people, like NFX, if we had a bot in a match) went ahead and decided the matches. We are writing the matches now.

Sorry, dude.

Since you're not on Discord it's kinda hard to include you in that sorta thing

Edited in the last of the results

Eh, I kinda expected Frequency to be going out. Rosebud's an impossible design to fight in the current iteration, so blah to that match. I thought DC/MoD would be close as well, but I'm glad the strategy mostly worked and we got the win out of it. Hopefully Pursuit and DC can continue onward, should be some good fights down the road.

Well, the fight I did get was pretty good, though! Commiserations to Scorpion/Patrick Rowberry for it, and it's good to see the reversal of fortune Captain NRK's had since the three-loss streak at the beginning of the contest.

Also, note to the writers- the "reducing Pegasus Device to a consistency resembling Temmie Flakes" bit was a reference to Undertale. They're a consumable item from there that is the favourite food of the Temmies, despite them merely being torn-up pieces of construction paper. And since Pegasus Device was made of cardboard... :P
