Lord of the Rinig: Week 9

[Michael Morrison]

A Gothic beginning that's all serious in the front but a party in the back, the student becomes the master... or at least earns the right to poke fun at him, Cooper cripples Cruz with his ability to levitate his opponents on his shoulders, Tyro finds out "Who is Brad Bauer", the Ryder of the storm enjoys the Air flowing through his golden locks of freedom, Malu mistakes Morrison for an orange julius or perhaps a Halloween cupcake and tries to bust him open for the creamy filling but only gets raspberry jam... and he hates raspberry. Lastly, Trips collides with the hip thrusting, kango hat wearing, tweekin' and cheesin' son of a gun that he probably uses as a makeshift bong, Versus. Check your watch, because it's probably 4:20 somewhere in the universe and another LotR report will follow.

HIGH SCORE LORD

MALU POLAMALU: Much like Blood before him, Malu not only defeats Mad Mike, but manages to use him to add some more points to his puka pie chart. Lucky for him, Trips sabotaged Lil' Casey and Mad Mike wasn't able to level the playing field as originally intended.

 

Does Malu feel satisfied with the outcome, or does he still thirst for revenge against the Mad One for what he did to his little British buddy? I don't know, but I hope he has a bad memory or revenge comes in a diet form. Revenge Light: Same great taste, no bitter regret afterwards.

 

CLOSEST MATCH

VERSUS vs. TRIPS: After scoring my match with Malu, I figured I had this one locked up, but Trips just can't stop robbing me of success. Trips really had a shot to win this bad boy with a decent lead over Versus at the start of the match, but like so many vets who've held gold, they know how to make a comeback and kick that victory right out the door like a Jehova's witness.

 

Of course, we all know of Versus' cheesiness but it didn't really effect this match. I guess he's just that gouda. Oh thank God, I've been wanting to use that joke for so long. Now that I've lifted that weight off my shoulder, on to Biggest Gap.

 

BIGGEST GAP

VINDICATOR vs. JONES: Very interesting match, as Jones lost, but managed to create a 122 point gap over the winner before getting pinned. You might ask, "How does someone earn so many points over his opponent and still end up losing"? Well, that's a good question. I like to think that Jones was trying to teach Poe how winning isn't everything and one has to know the taste of losing before he can truly savor the sweetness of victory. That, or he was so blitzed out of his mind, he thought he was playing Call of Duty 4. Which ever explanation works for you.

 

HONORABLE MENTION

MINISTRY: Even after Crowe totally no-sold his finisher and drank a bottle of Gummy Juice before his opponent could make the pin, Ministry hung in there and still finished the job.

 

I do have a question though. I pretty much stopped keeping score after the controversial "Rampage" incident, as Ministry pretty much had the match won at that point. However, I don't want to rob Ministry of the points he earned afterwards. So, should I re-rank the match, allowing all the points after Crowe's "Rampage" or leave it as it stands? Ministry, feel free to voice your opinion on this as well.

[AJ Phoenix]

Nice job mike.

 

And yeah, i think you should give ministry the points, considering he did pull off the win. If he lost I can see your reasoning for taking the points away, but its not like he was just building points for the sake of building points, he was going for the win, so yeah

[The Air]

Just a question Mike you now count things untill 15 minutes have passed and then you dont count anymore points even if the match continues longer?

He wouldn't be Steve Jones if he didn't do that.

[NOMAD]

I'd re-rank it,and allow the points, i spoke to ministry and if i'd have hit him with my finisher he'd have used the powerhouse rampage also..lol...making it go on even longer, but not to drag the match out, it was because we were both trying to win. but i wont be using the rampage to no sell from now on as it looks stupid. I'd also re-rank it as i'm interested to see the total points as i countered a finisher after that rampage :)

I've done it twice already now lol -_-

 

Somewhat surprised i didnt have more points. I tought my reversal fest with Bauer would have gotten me higher.

That's correct. After the intros are complete, I mark where the actual match starts and add 15 minutes (seeing as there is no damn time clock on the bottom of the screen anymore). Once your 15 minutes are over, no more points will be added. Of course, the winner still receives the 30 point win bonus, but that is all.

WHO ARE YOU!!!! Starting saying your name before you post so i know who you are

Consider it done MR Morisson !!. All the matches i will tape from now on will have a time clock at the bottom.

 

If people want their matches with time clock but cant do it themself,pm me the match + add brand in pm and i will send it in.

 

Stop bullying me Seth!

[The Steve]

I would never be that blitzed to where I thought I was playing a FOTM FPS. I liked this reason better...
