The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

In Match 4, I am still running blind against KerplunkMB. I don't like it, but it is the way it has to be, I guess. They only information I have to go on is that he or she has only earned three points this entire competition, and four points toward League standings. One match was a draw, because both KerplunkMB and the opponent scored zero points. One was a loss, because KerplunkMB scored zero points. And this most recent match was a win because the opponent scored zero points, and KerplunkMB scored three points.

So far this match, I have score 21 points. It is a combination of trophies from Jak 3, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, UNO, and Tales of Graces f. I finished the story of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time last night. I still have 24 trophies worth a total of 49 points to earn in that game. However, I will leave them for another match. There doesn't seem to be much of a point to go all-out on someone who has been flat-lining the majority of the competition. It is the same with Jak 3. The remaining two trophies I will save for another match. I have three trophies left in UNO, and one is really difficult to get. I have to check the leaderboard when I am in the Top 50. Yeah, I don't see that happening. Not when I am #460054 or something like that. It has a rarity of 1.24%! The other two are earned when I win 10 online games, and when I play 50 online games.

And I started Tales of Graced f again, and managed to finish the first chapter. I have to say, I really don't like Lord Aston, Asbel's father. I don't care that it's a different era in time, I still don't think it is right to do what he did to Hubert.

Well, here's the current standings in the Bronze League.

POS	PLAYER	PL	W	D	L	SD	SCORE	PTS
1	Havoc273	3	3	0	0	87	234	9
2	X18JELLO18X	3	2	1	0	42	101	7
3	nexus_x2007	3	2	1	0	38	85	7
4	me3lingual	3	2	0	1	-14	184	6
5	KerplunkMB	3	1	1	1	-10	3	4
6	cybershark91	3	1	0	2	-15	115	3
7	freddie1989	3	1	0	2	-11	88	3
8	ShogunCroCop	3	0	1	2	-43	54	1
9	TheLastSurvivorD	3	0	1	2	-29	44	1
10	TJ-Yoshi	3	0	1	2	-45	0	1

So as you see, I have fallen back some in the standings. If the competition were to end right now, I would be out of range to be promoted to Silver. But I would be safe from being demoted to the Manganese League. I hope that this match sees losses for the three people ahead of me. It would be great to have everyone on almost equal footing again. But I predict only one loss happening, and that is with nexus_x2007. His opponent is ShogunCroCop, and after three matches without a win, he's out for blood. He said that he is devoting his time strictly to gaming. All I know is that my goal is to finish the season in the Top 3.

Remember those goals I made at the beginning of July? Well, here's an update on them:

Finish all the games I have here with me: 43/121
Final Fantasy XIII-2: No
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII: No
Finish all Square Enix titles: 17/52
PSN Trophies remaining: 1,823/1,721
10 Platinum trophies: 6/10
Top 100,000 Worldwide: 321,444/425,190
U.s. Leaderboard: 103,433/138,049
Raise trophy completion percentage: 35.94%/31.52%
Buy no more games: FAILED!

Okay, now let's get to the title of this entry. I am having trouble setting up everything for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It says that my Square Enix account is wrong, and it's not. And it won't send the confirmation Email to me when I start a new account. I have tried for the past two nights to get everything working, and it isn't. Tonight when the Internet speed picks up, I will try again. This time using my other Email address. Maybe it will work then.

The plan for today is to put the border up on the wall. Maybe, I don't know. Other than that, just the normal stuff. So, I guess that's all for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
