Come help plan the next adventure at /r/ProjectWubWub

Results are in the pairings of course.

We had one of our rare ties/really close games. Despite being rare, it always seems to happen when there is also a double elimination/no show...so congrats to the +1 Life.

I'll post the new prompt tomorrow morning but you can still get started by researching your new opponents. Matches happening next round are already highlighted as "In Progress" in the pairings.

I lost... honestly, I was kind of expecting to lose even when I had mine done first. SanityMeter has good odds to win this whole thing, and he had a lot of the prompt on his side. Oh well.

As a side note, this is something I wanted to say earlier, but thought it might come across as a bit "woe is me" and all, but... does anyone else feel like the prompt was heavily imbalanced? One side gets prep and info, then the other side gets prep, info, unlimited resources, and gets to rig up the tower with booby traps that the opponent must go through... It was a cool prompt, but I really think if it were to be imbalanced like that, it should have been a choice on what side you wanted, rather than just being assigned to one.

EDIT: Oh and also first. I just happened to check new on the sub and found this.

I think having team evil go defense was a bit too strong. In theory, a good heist is a more compelling story than a successful defense, but combined with no moral restrictions on the side that gets more prep, the advantage may be too much. Although seeing as how only one attacking team actually won a contested match, maybe there was more of a problem than I thought.

It's too bad, because I do like the idea of asymmetric prompts, but this one might have been a little imbalanced.

Wait, am I seriously the only Attacking team that won this round?

My cake day was yesterday. Reddit needs to chill, it can't be my cake day twice. I'll get fat with this much cake.
