Jamiche · « **on:** August 30, 2007, 01:27:05 am »

Okay, a little later than hoped for (even tho it's after midnight, I still claim it's Weds nite

), I finally have the team/piece assignments. Just for the record, you lot didn't fall into the catergories I had hoped for (so close to good vs. evil), so it took a bit more to shake out the teams. So, here are the team assignments, ordered as they amused me

.

Please keep in mind, this is not a first-come, first-serve event - the players that were selected were chosen based on their cosplay, and we do not have duplicate characters on the board (ack, except one, forgot about that). That said, if your cosplay didn't make the cut, please don't give up; in the event that a player does not have a completed cosplay, or does not make it to the mandatory pre-meet, they replaced on the board.

All participants must attend the mandatory pre-meet at 10am Monday morning. If you are not there by 10:15 at the absolute latest, you will be replaced.

The teams are as follows:

White Team
King:   Jasmine T. – Edward Elric, FMA
Queen:   Kara K. – Super Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon
Bishops: Chad B. – The Merchant, Resident Evil 4
Katrina C. – Vincent Valentine, Final Fantasy
Rooks:   Gerges H. – Auron, Final Fantasy X
Dane D. – Green Power Ranger, Power Rangers
Knights: Jennifer C – Riza Hawkeye, FMA
Ashley L – Sailor Uranus, Sailor Moon
Pawns:   Kat C – Ash Ketchum, Pokemon
Amy T. – Tobi, Naruto
Sarah B. – Ishida, Bleach
Blayne H. – Gaara, Naruto
Michelle – Zoro, One Piece
Makenna C. – Martel, FMA
Ryan T. – Luffy, One Piece
Neisje M. – Sheik, Legend of Zelda

Black Team

King:   Paul S. – Byakuya, Bleach
Queen:   Crystal V. – Tsunade, Naruto
Bishops: Kelli G. – Noh-Face, Spirited Away
Kri B. – Robin, Witch Hunter Robin
Rooks:   Laven V. – Jigen, Lupin the 3rd
Cassandra L. – Sephiroth, Final Fantasy 7
Knights: Jason D. – Pyramid Head, Silent Hill
Micheal M. – Pyramid Head, Silent Hill
Pawns:   Anna M. – Tseng, Final Fantasy
Rose M. – Yachiru, Bleach
Laryssa B. – Sora, Kingdom Hearts II
Mikaela C – Roxas, Kingdom Hearts II
Erika M. – Naruto, Naruto
Nichole – Renji, Bleach
Lauren H. – Reno, Final Fantasy 7
Amanda C. – Temari, Naruto

Back-up List
Suzume T. – Riza Hawkeye, FMA
Sarah C. – Edward Elric, FMA
Christopher S. – Luffy, One Piece

Notifications will also be sent via e-mail (tomorrow night, I have to work in the morning

)

GO WHITE TEAM

I think it's awesome that my friend (Ash cosplayer) and I (Ishida cosplayer) are on the same team and are both pawns.

I can't wait for this event...

AzuKyo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 30, 2007, 10:37:32 am »

I'm not one for pre-game dirt talking. However, as Black Teams chess master, I personally guarantee several levels of destruction for the White Team.

Black Team: Monday, we dine in hell.

sk_chan · « **Reply #15 on:** August 30, 2007, 01:15:58 pm »

Oh, and I noticed that all the Shinigami from Bleach are on the same team, with me on the other team. That was on purpose, wasn't it?

Nice idea.

ThiefKingsHier · « **Reply #16 on:** August 30, 2007, 05:00:51 pm »

So I get to be Kings pawn right? Itd atleast make sense that way.
I thought Paul was gonna die laughing when I told him the positions we got. *Shakes fist*

Wait, who're the chess masters?

AzuKyo · « **Reply #24 on:** August 30, 2007, 08:13:00 pm »

I am black's Chest Master. Two years high school chess club member. However, I don't know who white's master is.

Kenneth H., please to meet you.

If any of my, hopefully, faithful teammates would like to drop me a line for any reason you may e-mail me at: otakuinstrumentalityproject@gmail.com and I will be at the con for all three days (look for the guy cosplaying Lupin III, or check out the Random Panel/Anime Jeopardy).

Turns out my brother DID make it as the other chess master. XD He's been playing in tournies for nine years, so he's excited. And he's Rufus Shinra. <3
He doesn't have a forum account, so he's wondering if I can ask, are you from Oregon?

AzuKyo · « **Reply #29 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:44:28 pm »

Yep. Born and raised. If he's been to the Oregon state chess tournament it is possible that we've met (although, I'm only an individual bracket player).

majinekochan · « **Reply #30 on:** August 30, 2007, 09:45:13 pm »

Haha, don't get your hopes too high. I'm horribly rusty and it sounds like my opponent is a veteran of the sport.

I think he was going to ask about your rating, actually, if you were a WA player.
And that's most likely; he played in a competition they had in Portland a couple years ago.
(He's just run off to print some things out for our trip tomorrow.)
Will you be cosplaying at all? :3 Because you should. He was wondering if there would be any chance of switching teams since he's cosplaying Rufus, and Rufus = evil. It's perfectly fine if you or the coordinator don't want that happening, but we thought we'd throw it out there.

AzuKyo · « **Reply #33 on:** August 30, 2007, 10:03:18 pm »

I'm unranked, half because I've only played in two state tournaments and half because I play chess as a hobby.

I'll be cosplaying Lupin III and I'd prefer not to switch sides for personal reasons.

It was so much fun! I loved it.
I've never played in one or even been to one before, and now I'm wondering why because it was a blast!

Black Team, Great work. White Team, Great work.

I apologize to anyone who didn't get to kill someone. Unfortunately, it just had to happen that way.

I take full responsiblity for there not being a second game, Jamiche had wanted to get a second one in but via my commentary and chess rigging it didn't pan out. I'm sorry for anyone who thought that they should have had a chanc to get in on the fun, but there is always next year.

Roxas, Sora. You two made the ultimate sacrifice becoming Queen and King pawns so that we could have that unplanned Pirates vs. Ninja (School girl) battle.

Black King, I'm sorry you didn't get to kill anyone but me.

I hope you all had as much fun as I did...

No... Now.. Noh... Now... No... Noh... Now... Na Ru To.

You were wonderful; both of you guys were.
I'm pretty sure you made a lot of people happy with how many pieces you got invovled. A second game would have been cool, but I can understand that it was either A. Get the current players lots of action in one game, or B. Get only some of the current players action and have a second game.
Maybe next year they'll have a bigger time slot. I definatly would have stuck around for another game, even if it was just to watch.
And I enjoyed your commentary; if you were nervous throughout, it was pretty much impossible to tell.
So kudos~.

Thank you, because I was extremely nervous throughout it all. I wanted to entertain the audienc between fights, but I was constantly afraid that I was either missing punch lines or butchering series humor.

And, for the record, I truly do suck at names. I couldn't tell you half my own pieces' names (character names) even though I knew who they all were.

Sorry for not being able to say Tseng right, my 1/2 semster of Chinese didn't do much good for me (my Japanese is much better, but it caused me to read your name as Tsueng).

Merchant: You were good, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In fact, EVERYONE deserves a round of kudos for being brave enough to play fight in front of an audience that came to be entertained.

Overall though, Jamiche AKA Jaki deserves an unlimited amount of praise for putting this on.

I loved the event! I'll just have to pay more attention to where I have to move next year, so I don't get confused again. XP I would love to participate again!

Honestly i thought the game was really amusing because u couldnt prenounce names right and i loved the commentary to it made chess fun

......even if i only had one battle but maybe next year

I really wanted to kill Reno, but it was just as fun killing Roxus

I had a super time and I definitely want to do it again next year or at sakuracon. Thanks so much you guys! It rocked!

Perhaps next time you will get me in battle! (I was the Reno)

And AzuKyo, you did an amazing job as our chess master! Thank you very much for doing that! I'm sorry that I gave you so much crap while you were playing though. I still feel bad about that. But you did great even while having to deal with my crap. Thanks again!

RoseMustang · « **Reply #48 on:** September 04, 2007, 11:22:34 am »

xD That school girl was my best friend xD I'm glad we all had fun

<3 And I was Yachiru! I had tons of fun!

ThiefKingsHier · « **Reply #49 on:** September 04, 2007, 01:10:15 pm »

Damn that was FUN! And I really did get banged up. Im covered in bruises and both my knees aare swollen and my right hand is messed up. I didnt realize I hit the ground THAT hard.

Im dissapointed that I didnt drag it out longer.
I felt it approiriate to keep figthing until they had to yell " Finish him..for the love of god of just finish him!"
I didnt want Toubi to run out of attacks (That and I have no idea who Toubi is and didnt know exactly what his attacks are..so I was probly wasnt acting well)
Besides, it was funnier to be defeated by ligth kick to the head. XD

..and nobody came to get me when I was dead..stupid Byakuya.
