The Future of Aitou

[Aitou Kaichi]

Hey all

So yeah. I'm that other guy who people expected might pull off a win. Wasn't really expecting to, and hadn't since I learned who Kimura really was. But that's beside the point. I'm completely okay with how things turned out (although I wasn't happy about being eliminated...) I got to where I did because I was good enough to do so, and I didn't get any further because Kimura was better.

As some of you already know, Kimura and I had an argument regarding LGT3. At this point, I have already aided in playtesting the games, so it would be highly unfair for me to play, and we have agreed that I won't be dealing. We are still good friends, and I don't know what I will end up doing, if anything. I will say that it looks good, and there are some major changes being made to account for the way the tournament is played. I am very interested in how it turns out. I will be watching, so you should all put on a great show.

So... Specific people. I'm gonna cut back on this, coz you've all been given enough attention from Kimura.

Sada, best ally I had during the whole tournament, and don't let Kimura try to tell you otherwise. So, I'll 'fess up and say that Kimura and I asked the dealers to check out the possibility that you were Adam at one point... In any case, it always felt good to work with you, since you were Nao-like. Made me feel like I wasn't so much of a dick even though I was. (e.g. the betrayals of ~20% of the players in the game )

Shichiro and Satake, it was good working with you guys. Best of luck with LGT3. And take it seriously this time, or else I'll feel let down. This time you had the excuse of "But, Kimura and Aitou were too awesome.", but you lose that next time.

Fujimoto, I wanna talk in person. Come find me when you get the chance.

Kaitani and his group, gimme a yell on facebook when your exams are finished.

Barbaro, Sagaro, Jacola, Petrushka, Aldaniti and Naverre. I know at least half of you aren't reading this, but meh. I know I put you guys through more than I did any player, and so I'm giving you all a shout-out. It was an awesome tournament, and I hope that you guys get involved in future tournaments. Jacola and Petrushka, (if you are reading this), get a hold of Kimura and he can get you into LGT3. It's an awesome experience. I know it looks like we are a bunch of masochists for jumping into this, but, at the very least, I'm not.

Kimura, Usagi and Mitsuru. As I said back in the revival ticket auction, regardless of what happens, good game.

[Ikenishi Sada]

That's a big compliment, thank you, Aitou. Haha, and don't worry, I was asked multiple times by other people! I figured it was a suspicion people might have had, no worries. I'm glad I could at least be of some help to you, even if it was minimal. And ah, you were perfectly nice to me, far more than you think, I'm sure.

[Watsuki Shichiro]

Since when was that ever my excuse? You played a good game, betrayals and all, but Kimura one-upped you. Both of you one-upped me, but that was also my fault because of the way I wanted to play the game this time through. By that point, I had little intention of winning. I won't say that I wasn't trying or that it wouldn't have been nice, but I also was trying to play the game I was playing. I messed up many times, and I'll elaborate on that later, but... whatever. Yeah. I guess I'm rambling now... Anyway, good game, and it was fun working with you!

[Aitou Kaichi]

I assume you mean Kimura, not Kaitani.

In any case, you and Satake should have been more noteworthy players, but you didn't take the oppurtunity.

[Watsuki Shichiro]

Yeah, I do make mistakes like that now and then... and I know I didn't take the opportunities. I plan to though in LGT3! Assuming I see them when they're there of course...
