MFO results!!!!!!!!

First, sorry for the delay. When different guys live in different time zones, there can be some delay.

Second, I would like to give one more big thanks to Ricrestoni, Cryist, and Sunbearie for all of their help with the MFO.

Finally, thanks to everyone for a great experience. I hope you all had fun and have a little MFO fever that will spur you on to wait for the next one.

So, here we go.

Congrats to the winners. Now, for prize allocation. Those in first place have first pick. You can pick five items from anyone in your category. Post the requests here. If you are only taking a couple items, or are not taking any items, please post that here as well so the next person knows when they can pick.

If an item of yours is picked please send it in a timely manner to the winner. When 1st has picked, 2nd gets 3 items, then 3rd place gets 2 items.


For the Baal category, Ric will post the lists of items from the competitors that you can pick from.

Poop, i came 4th in super uniques.
*hopes nobody notices mang songs lesson*
Well done on all winners and great thanks to gab and those who helped in the various categories.

 

[Pb_pal]

Doh, im 5th

After 400 p3 Baalruns with almost 500% MF this is bit disappointing. I just hope im not going to lose a grail item once again

Oh well, maybe next time

Thanks for the MFo, Gabriel & others

 

[Pb_pal]

Thanks Gab!

Tied for 7th after all those runs. Congrats to the winners

 

[Pb_pal]

Second, dammit, second!

Well done to Masas and everyone else who came first.

Thanks to everyone involved.

 

[Pb_pal]

Only fifth place in the Pindle category . 6 TC 87 uniques is still not enough if you don't have the high scoring ones. I found only 2 grailers (Hotspurs and Giant skull), which was a bit of a dissapointment as well, but for the rest I had some pretty good items. 122 qualifiers, if the winners have some specific request outside my top 5, most of the other items are also available, including Wolfhowl, Demonhorns Edge, 2x IKSC, 3x Bul Kathos CB, Bul Kathos Mythical sword, 2x Natalyas Mark, Tals plate, Griswold Corona,


Congratz to all the winners!!

 

[Pb_pal]

So that's how they got those high scores

I'll be having words with Meph next time about triple-durability Crusader Gauntlets...

Congrats to the winners!

If any of the Meph winners want a look at my other qualifiers, feel free to ask (although to get those items you've probably found most of what I've got - anyone want a Dangoon's Teaching? No? How about a Dark Adherent? )

 

[Pb_pal]

Yikes I dropped in both categories.

Thanks a bunch to Gabriel74 and the others for running this. And congrats on all the great finds.

 

[Pb_pal]

yay. I was worried about how the halfing of my CB's points would affect me but it appears Yashugan had the same problem.
Thanks to Gabriel, Cryist, Ricrestoni and Sunbearie for organizing the whole thing and their respective categories.

Now for the loot.*sticks on an eyepatch and a parrot* Yarrr
I think i'd like

Yashugan - death's fathom
Factory - Gargoyle's bite
Factory - Boneshade
Cattelya - Death cleaver
Grimfeng - Templars might

thanks everyone

 

[Pb_pal]

I knew the Mighty Scepter halved points was going to hurt me. Congratulations to Kabal and Mad.As.A.Meataxe on first and second place! You deserve it! Thanks for running my categories, Sunbearie and Gabriel. Anyways, heres a list of all my finds for those interested. I have no problem if you want to take items from other then my top 5. Most o it is going to a giveaway anywho. Cheers!

Alma Negra | Arkaine's Valor | Credendum | Dangoon's teaching X2 | Dark Adherent X 2 | Death Cleaver | Death's Web | Demon Limb | Demonhorns Face | Doombringer | Eschutas Temper | Ethereal edge | Firelizards Talons | Fleshripper | Giant Skull | Griffons eye | Hellrack | Hellslayer | Immortal Kings Soul Cage | Jade Talon | Marrowalk X3 | Messerschmidt's Reaver X2 | Shadow Killer X2 | Taebaeks Glory X2 | The Reapers Toll | The Redeemer

 

[Pb_pal]

Second as well! Damn! Congrats to Kabal. I thought with an average score of 15 I'd go close which I guess I did but not close enough. I was only running Pindle for fun ahead of my main target of Meph and found the damn Stormlash about an hour into the MFO and then became obsessed with trying to hold onto it (and as it turns out I'll probably lose it anyway - go figure!). Kabal, you're welcome to anything from my list, like Tweety I've got IKSCx2, Natalya's Mark x2, Wolfhowl, etc, etc (though I would think with 122 qualifiers he should have a wider range than I). I'm away from my computer till Saturday (probably Friday your time) and can send you a full list/your picks then.

As to those below me, your items are safe from my ravages (though were I not self-found I would have been eying up Tweety's Windforce assuming Kabal didn't get there first) as previously stated so good luck with keeping your goodies from Kabal and Boddah. So just to be crystal clear I am not taking any items from other participants.

Lessons from the MFO:

1) If you're going to do an MFO check with your wife first so they see it coming
2) If you haven't got most of the items from a given run target already they're probably not a great target for the MFO - reason being you'll find that you'll want to keep everything that you find and in the case of some items you may lose the only copy of an item that you're ever likely to see!
3) While the xp is very nice running at p8 is silly. Sadly I only realised this in the last hour and a half of the MFO.
4) Need to build me a Blizz Sorc to try to keep up with Tweety (122 qualifiers!!!!!!)

Once again, thanks to all the organisers. It's been an interesting experience for my first MFO.

 

[Pb_pal]

Darn, I didn't manage to scrape my way back into third. I'm still happy with the results, given she was on the low end MF wise (and still hasn't even rescued Cain.) Well, according to Ulrick's guide, Anala has 1400 Countess runs to perform to fix up her Ali Baba for next time.

@Corax: Mule Sent

[Pb_pal]

Congrats to the winners!

And once again, special thanks to the administrators. Good job guys! The whole experience was great fun.

 

[Pb_pal]

Wow! I am the first looser (4th) in the Meph category! I'm pretty pleased I must say. Once again I'd like to say that I play hardcore... If someone is going to pick one (or two) of my items, I would like to include the complete list:

M'avina's Caster
Naj's Light Plate x2
Demonhorn's Edge
Cerebus' Bite
Wolfhowl
Soul Drainer x2
Spike Thorn
Naj's Puzzler
Marrowwalk
Stoneraven
Stormshield x2
The Gladiator's Bane x4
Lightsabre
Blackoak Shield x3
Hellslayer
Viperfork x3
Eschuta's Temper x2
Thunderstroke x2
Shadow Killer x2
Harlequin Crest x2
Rune Master x2
Sandstorm Trek x4
Demon's Arch x2
Flamebellow
The Reaper's Toll x3
Baranar's Star
Razor's Edge x3
Credendum x2
Natalya's Shadow x5
Djinn Slayer x2
Bloodmoon
Jade Talon x4
Gimmershred x3
Demon Limb x2
Windhammer x3
Arioc's Needle x3
Wizardspike
Dark Adherent x6
Laying of Hands x2
Dangoons teaching x4
Immortal King's Stone Crusher x6

So, if you would like to try out hardcore, I'd imagine the Harlequin crest and Reapers toll etc are much more interesting then the top 5 items... I also found extra's of almost the exceptional class specific uniques, so those are available as well. Please, help me get rid of the 5 extra Arreats faces I found!

 

[Pb_pal]

I shall help you with whatever you can leave out, when people picked whatever they might want! :lol:

 

[Pb_pal]

Finally I placed!

I wasn't going to pick any items unless I saw an azurewrath. Since there aren't any, I wasn't going to pick any items until Illana pointed out that those items are HC. I was thinking of starting one and tweaked sounds interesting. But 1st and 2nd go first.

I've got duplicates of my top 5, so pick away. Otherwise they are going to be given away or rot in my stash.

Thanks Gabriel for the show, and cryist for looking after this category.

editM me if you want stats on the top 5.

 

[Pb_pal]

i knew i was a bit short of doing some serious damage or to simply kick butt this time, damn it was close indeed, but hey it was a fun. corax, gg on the victory there and since u decided to strip me naked, here you go, i'll send you the items in the next five minutes. good work on this one gab, thnx.








peace, NSK factory, and don't forget biscuits for smut

 

[Pb_pal]

Well 7:th place was a bit dissapointing, but only 500 pindleruns made was way too low to keep up with the top guys, congratz to all the winners and a big thanks to the organizers

DX

 

[Pb_pal]

Wow, talk about a photo finish! I thought meataxe had the A5SU category in the bag when Boddah and I both lost points with the Mighty Scepter/Spired Helm scores being halved. Going into the last day of the MFO, I was ranked third with a score of 74.5 so I spent 10 hours that day running Pindle in an attempt to save my Astreon's. Turns out I only ended up adding 1.95 points to my score which I didn't think would be enough to climb into second, but it seems like Lady Luck was on my side. Now I feel like a kid in a candy store with all the uber items laid before me; despite feeling a bit guilty taking these items away, some of them are simply too good to pass up, so please forgive my selfishness.

meataxe - Stormlash
Boddah - Death's Web, Griffon's Eye
farting bob - Mang Song's Lesson
tweety - Steelrends

My email is [email protected], send the items whenever it's convenient.

Finally I'd just like say congratulations to all the winners, GG to all the competitors, and a huge thank you to Gab, ricrestoni, subearie, and cryist for running the competition. Who would have thought that 3500 pindle runs could be so fun?

 

[Pb_pal]

You will have mail shortly, Kabal. Since Meataxe isn't claiming, can I pick mine soon, or should I wait? Cheers!

Edit: You have mail, Kabal
