Rush's Roundfail Repository

Hi, this is Rush here. Zar was kind enough to let me hijack his entry in the top 100 so I could post this Roundfail. Turns out when you abandon, Emperor fett personally deletes your very existence from the history books in disgust! But it meant I had nowhere else to go. So thank you to Zar, last refuge of the fett-scorned and official sponsor of my last ever? (gasp) Roundfail.  FOREWORD This foreword has been a bit of a bitch to write. Actually this whole Roundfail has been a bitch to write, what with all the drama, bullshit, lies, cheating and general cunty-ness on full display from our wonderful community this past round. I have pretty much washed my hands of OD at this point, but I had over 6,000 words of this Roundfail written before I quit - so I figured I might as well tidy it up a little and then hit publish. One last yarn. Before I get into it though, I'm going to be somewhat self-indulgent and talk a little bit about the editing process first. It has some context for the t...

Hi, Rush here. I took notes for the first two weeks this round and then hit the 'roundfail abandon button' when I realised that, for me at least, this was going to be the least interesting round in OD history, so this one's another mini roundfail. You want to know what it's like to spend 47 days in a ghetto realm? Well you've come to the right place. Set your expectations to 'snooze' and lets get this over with.  I was Ghetto Superstar in (#5), Sylvan, and I finished 45th on 5,614 land. I sailed solo this round, figuring I'd let the algorithmic winds of fate decide upon which shore I beached. And it just so happened to be realm #5, with the worst realm composition at assignment I've ever been included in. No beef to any of the players, we all got screwed on this one. I landed with Pos5 Only, Lou Dort is Benny Cheng (yes that's his lifetime name), TRoiT, spoonman, jahmes, Jocke, Martinuum, Guydoonster, Naweeb, and... Elf Woods. Elf Woods again! As...

 Hi, Rush here. And it's time for another Roundfail: draft edition! I was drafted onto Team Dan, alongside Gothia, Erix, Asanka, Scratch, Zar, ForPony and Sizzler. Dan had also drafted Bombtek, but after asking us to make him a sim (which Lud, who said he was taking the round off - and then played anyway and almost friggin won the game - generously created for him), he then never turned up to register in time. We DMed him and pinged him a bunch but I don't think he used discord much and he definitely had turned his notifications off, and so he missed the deadline and would have been seeded randomly into one of the other realms - if he even signed up for the round at all. Honestly, it felt a bit like we dodged a bullet, but then we ended up with Elf Woods as a rando in-realm anyway which felt a bit like what happened to me the time I went to return a toaster I'd bought at Tesco because it wouldn't heat up, only to be given a replacement toaster that was missing the lever...
