Looking good so far. :-P When I watched the previous tourney an evil idea occurred to me:Be silent all day long. Make the opponent think I am not going to show up, while writing devastating replies to everything the opponent says. The opponent will think I am not going to show up and quit, going to bed a couple hours before midnight most likely. Then, at 11:55EST, I'd post a bunch of replies. First, counterattacks to all the opponents stuff. Then posts like "where did you go?" "Oh, I must have really cleaned your clock!" Then posts like "Well, I guess you're not coming back" etc. That way it would look the next morning to people who weren't there like I had been there for hours and my opponent had chickened out. LOL.
Ultimately I decided this was a transparent scheme and beneath someone of my flaming talents. BUT, it is not beneath some of the people of lessor abilities in this tourney. So if I were you, I might think about stopping by around midnight tonight. Because if I thought of this, I'm sure others did.
>:-D
Thanks
for the advice....

It seems like we're the only one's active...Thanks for the advice, but if I'm half-right about sliderules, we won't see him for a while... ;-)
But, if I advance, it looks like I'll have to face SpaceTime, so I don't want to waste any of my good stuff(So, I think that I'll lay low, looking to wipe out any attacks...) But I'm not worried...
Thanks,
Quinn

He's just going to punk out like he did last time. He made the comment as he was backing out the door against Stochi last time that the tourney didn't make a difference on whether he would be considered a great flamer or not.I got news for him, great flamers don't back down every time a good flamer goes after them. Anybody can flame someone like Tigs (as he did) who is not going fight back because she is above that sort of thing. But when it comes to the real flamers, Spacetime has backed down again and again. He did it in the last tourney, and he's going to do it in this one as well. Because, like all bullies, he gets scared when someone stands up to him.
That's why if you meet up with Spacetime in the second round (assuming he doesn't punk out in this round) and you hit him in the nose one good time, he'll fold like a cheap suitcase ... all the while protesting that she - er - he is better than the rest of us in the tourney and that he spits on the prize and that no tourney result would ever make a difference on his flaming status.
WRONG. If you back down every time you're faced with a real challenge, you're nothing but a punk.
:-P
In
that case...

Looking forward to what transpires here, folks. Both of you are kickin' it so far.

http://slidersweb.net/blinkerTheIrrelevantPoster turned to Green_Modus. “Hey! Look! I got the first step on this world! Na, na, na, na!” TIP was wearing a cute little sundress that only went down to his upper thigh, and he was licking enthusiastically on a giant red lollipop. One of his socks was pink, the other was light orange. “Na, na, I got the first step on this world!”
Enraged, Green_Modus ran forward to the corner. “Well, I got to the first corner on this world! So there!”
:-P~~~~~

Including the six you just severed from sliderules. 7:-P~~~All-time record for quick handle detection:

...Okay, so I cheated and checked the profile for PFKAS first. 7:-D
And I was able to track that down INSTANTLY because I remembered the post titled "op" was from "BeezLover." Do NOT ask how.

It was one of dellyone's favorite tactics in the ToP. She didn't go all day without posting, but she would save most of her best stuff for just before midnite. It worked wonders in her match against CoolSlider, and he just thought the board froze on him.http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/545/21883/12
She used in in her match against me, too. I tried to use it against her, but the onslaught just prior to midnight was more than I could overcome. I simply didn't have enough time to write an effective response. I knew what I wanted to write, just couldn't make it good enough to post in that amount of time.
With Blinker watching, tho', timing will be taken into consideration.

Yes, I'd try to be the last one to post right before time expired, but I didn't mock my opponent with "Where did you go?'" Instead I blew them away with the Creativity Disruptor™ as my final attack except for DMD who was dead way before my final post. :p
http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/545/22053/12I cut it close when I went against CoolSlider and I didn't know about the problems about the board freezing on the other contestants until about half an hour before time expired. I took my chances since I did have I think 3 or 4 replies ready and yeah they were my best stuff I had come up with. I had dropped several ideas when CoolSlider took the tack he did. When the appointed time came using CNN's time I believe I hit reply on my three or four windows and that was all. Time expired a minute or two later. No way to counterattack several replies that you didn't see a few minutes later.
As for going against DMD, I needed about an hour to think about a counterattack with his little twist in the storyline. Damn, that was a good one. At that point I was unwilling to reveal the complete storyline that I had thought from the outset of the tournament. I wanted to save it for the next round if I won this one, but DMD forced me to reveal it. I had a similar idea and if I were to lose I would give that as a reason. I posted a counterattack I think before midnight since dark posted the threads about 2 hours late since his laptap was giving him problems. I waited on the last reply and posted the previous ones. If DMD did post what he had in mind then he quite possibly would have won that round because I'd need to break them out of the psych ward first before writing a counterattack. This was a tough round since DMD's a very good flamer, a friend and I had to flame him without revealing his other handle. I already had a concessions post in my head when the pairings were announced for this round. That's how much I dreaded going against him and I knew that he he felt the same too. Accckkk... the imagery was not pretty in that round.
I did see a couple of other contestants employ the same tactic though I think they were late in their replies.
Anyway, I needed the extra time to think up some rather fiendish counterattacks and attacks and to make the flaming specific for my opponent.
Well, since I did this tactic before, I'll be watching too.
