Oh I should share my new rules for tiebreakers btw...

How is Primer winning?

Fight Club is a pretty great movie. Primer is the best cinematic exploration into time travel.

"Primer is the best cinematic exploration into time travel."

That would be Back to the Future. We've become so inured to it that we've forgotten that it's actually a great movie.

Primer is the best cinematic exploration of what you can do with a camera and a killing script.

Uh...I'm willing to argue with you on that zmaj, later though.

A moment to reflect that Vash the TD didn't finish the last one of these that he hosted either. Good job Vash

Vash the TD has been busy with finals and getting home. Phase has ended I guess.

A moment to reflect Vash the TD has been late ending every single phase, and chose to start a tournament during finals.

I did not start the tournament during Finals and have made note of the fact that I will be late a good amount of the time, if only someone PM'd me about co-GMing....
