Final Round on Hiatus

[Barbaro]

After several rules changes and playtests, the Dealers have decided the final round is the worst thing on the planet, and it's beyond repair. We absolutely hate it and have no intention of delivering it. Ever.

Unfortunately, we have no finalized backups ready for use in a finale. We'll need time to develop and test a new one, or take any concepts we already had and fix them. We are absolutely mortified about this, but we would be even more mortified if we brought this abomination of a game to the table. Please allow us the time to develop a game fit for a final round.

In the meantime, please see Watsuki's On a Roll thread for some entertainment in the meantime. Ideally, we'll have a game ready by mid-March, and we will email the finalists when we have a start date.

Thank you for your patience, and again we apologize.

Oh, crap...

That sucks, but I guess it's a wise decision. You guys have done a great job and we're sure you only wish to keep the quality line high as always and close this tournament the best possible way (with my victory!).

Take it easy, though. No pressure. We won't go anywhere.

Any idea on when this is happening? If not, I may have reason to put out a game or two (or a minigame or two) for the Casino. Speaking of which... hey you guys! Sign up! ;D

While I'm ok with the tournament being on a hiatus for it's perfecting, I'm not sure if I'm ok with not having a response of any kind from it's dealers for more than a week (see Shichiro's post date and my last PM, sent 6 days ago), and even more so when there are two other sites waiting for the end of LGT2.

So, what's up? Can we get an update of any kind?

[Aitou Kaichi]

Hmm... Interesting possibility. The rules of the final game are as follows:

The first player to correctly see through the dealer's bull and realize that we are already playing the final round wins.

If so, I just won.

[Kuwabara Kimura]

Damn it. Claiming second place.
