Beniboybling Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) "No game of dejarik can be won without pawns..." With the Kaggath Tournament fast approaching, its due time that we introduce some real competition to the series. But first, let’s declare the winner of the final round in the Kaggath Series: Darth Sidious vs Sith Emperor. The debate was heated and the arguments exhausted, much like the conflict itself. But ultimately... the Sith Emperor and his Sith Empire triumphed through the will of the Force. The results? Sith Empire: 50 Galactic Empire: 46 I can’t say I was surprised by the outcome, after all in the wise words of Darth Vader: “Don’t be so proud of this technological terror you’ve created. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.” Any complaints will be considered, and then responded to with a force choke followed by “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” But the Kaggath Series is over, perhaps it shall return in a Bonus Series, but for now it is the tournament we must consider. So, who are you rooting for? Who will win? Who will be crowned Kaggath Champion, and who will come second, third and fourth? I’m asking you to predict who will claim 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place – the winner will receive one hundred internet commendations and a lifetime supply of virtual cookies! Note: the losers of the ‘Kaggath Series’ cannot claim 3rd place, only 1st, 2nd and 4th – don’t ask why. The Brackets General Grievous vs Mandalore the Ultimate Tyber Zann vs G0-T0* Darth Revan vs Skere Kaan Darth Malgus vs Prince Xizor Darth Traya vs Darth Plagueis Exar Kun vs Naga Sadow *You may be wondering while G0-T0 is in the ‘losers’ bracket – but the fact is his victory was unexpected and a feel he is a better match for Tyber Zann than Traya. It also allows for certain individuals to make a cameo. G0-T0 still however, has 'winners' privileges, Tournament Set-Up The winners of Round 1 will progress to the Semi-Finals: two sets of Triple-Duels. And the winners of the Semi-Finals will progress to the Final Round: a 1v1 extravaganza. 1. ? 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? Place your bets!

MasterMe Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Excellent choice to match up Revan and Kaan!! That seems like it'd be a very close fight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstadinosblue Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I'm going to say: General Grievous(because of the HUGE droid army) Tyber Zann Revan(I changed from Kaan) Darth Malgus Tough decision...I'm gonna say ... Darth Plagueis Okay...I'm going with Naga Shadow this time Edited December 21, 2012 by konstadinosblue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMe Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I pick Revan to beat Kaan. Here's why: - Kaan will experience infighting - Revan's army is bigger AND is supported by the Republic, whereas the Army of Light was, appearently, not. I pick G0-T0 to beat Zann just 'cause I feel like it I pick Exar Kun to beat Naga Sadow. - Kun's army is just SO lethal I pick Greivous to beat MtU. (this one's gonna be close!) - I imagine MtU's troops are of similar quality as the Clones EXCEPT there aren't as many Mandos as there are clones AND the Mandos don't have Jedi fighting with them BUT MtU has Basilisk War Droids. I pick Darth Traya to beat Plagueis - There similar... except... ya know... Traya has an army! I pick Prince Xizor to beat Darth Malgus (although I'll root for Malgus) - This isn't gonna be the kind of war Malgus is good at.. at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaruin Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) The results? Sith Empire: 50 Galactic Empire: 46 And afterwards the Rebellion will free the galaxy from Sith oppression anyways Place your bets! Let's say I got 1000 Credits. General Grievous vs Mandalore the Ultimate difficult to say, I bet 50Cr on Grievous Tyber Zann vs G0-T0* I'll place 100Cr on G0-T0 Revan* vs Skere Kaan I bet 300Cr on Revan Darth Malgus vs Prince Xizor I bet 300Cr on Malgus Darth Traya vs Darth Plagueis Not that easy to say, still, I'll bet 100Cr on Plagueis Exar Kun vs Naga Sadow really difficult to say, I bet 50Cr on Exar Kun (only because I like him more) Edited December 21, 2012 by Maaruin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Interesting... But overall - who do you think will claim 1st place, and who will come 2nd, 3rd and 4th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lol kidding ) At a glance I'd say Exar Kun win 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaruin Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 1st place? REVAN!! DUH!!! (lol kidding ) At a glance I'd say Exar Kun win 1st. That would be my bet too. IMO the battle Kun vs Sadow is between the two strongest of them already... so who is the second is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beniboybling Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 OK, the Tournament Set-Up is up there is case you need it. But the best way to predict would be to rank all the players on how good their power base is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the best way to predict would be to rank all the players on how good their power base is. Strongest powerbase I would give to Exar Kun, Naga Sadow, Darth Malgus and Revan. The outcome of the tournament will be: 1. Exar Kun 2. Revan 3. Darth Plagueis 4. G0-T0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurbere Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Let's see... Grievous beats Mandalore Tyber Zahn comes out the victor in a close battle Kaan trounces Revan Malgus overcomes Xizor through his stealthed vessels Not sure on Traya and Plagueis Leaning towards Naga Sadow, but Kun could pull it out.

But would would claim 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th (remember Kaggath Series losers cannot claim 3rd place) You pose an interesting question. My preliminary assessment would have to be as such: 1. Naga Sadow or Malgus(depending if Malgus wins his fight) 2. Exar Kun 3. Prince Xizor or General Grievous 4. Darth Traya or Plaguies (depending on who wins that fight. Leaning towards Traya, but Plaguies could do it) Just a preliminary assessment. I will adjust once the tournament gets underway. Edit: Wait. Grievous can't be number 3.

Rayla_Felana Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Completely taken aback by your choice given the immense military power differential between the two, but regardless, apparently 'points' win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beniboybling Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Could you explain why previous losers can't take second, third, or fourth place? That doesn't seem to make much since...Losers can take second and fourth, not third. This is due to the Tri-duel set up. As its results it two 2nd places. Winners take precedence over losers so the runner up of the winners bracket will always claim 3rd place, and the loser 4th. (But if they win the tri-duel they have a chance of achieving second or first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMe Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I pick Revan to beat Kaan. Here's why: - Kaan will experience infighting - Revan's army is bigger AND is supported by the Republic, whereas the Army of Light was, appearently, not.

I pick Prince Xizor to beat Darth Malgus (although I'll root for Malgus) - This isn't gonna be the kind of war Malgus is good at.. at all. Tri-battles? hmmmm The way I've picked it it'll be Greivous vs G0-T0 vs Revan in the first one Darth Traya vs Prince Xizor vs Exar Kun in the second one I feel that Tri-battles would be a semi-unfair way to do this due to the fact that Tri-battles can be VERY unpredictable and random. 1st Tri-Battle: I think any of them are capable of winning this. This is a toss-up. Regardless, I'm gonna argue for Revan. 2nd Tri-battle: Holy Crap!! I wanted to say Kun would win this, but due to the Tri-battle format I could see Traya getting a win here. Interesting... Nah... Kun's got this. His armies are just not gonna be damaged much from Traya's tactics. Kun wins. CHAMPIONSHIP: Exar Kun vs either Greivous, Revan, or G0-T0 Regardless, Kun wins.
