[Hersfold]

BTW, the images for your flag icons were pirated off the nations you named in your athlete registration post. If you'd like me to use a different flag, let me know - just remember the larger it is, the more distorted it will become.

Tommorrow's Schedule to be posted later today.

 

[Ator People]

*Ator People would like to congratulate all those who won and give its full support to the Men's Curling team and William Smith, as well as all the Atorian athletes who will be participating in other events next.

Anyway, congrats to the winners.

 

[Hersfold]

Yeah... for some reason this always happens. Sorry.

 

[Fedele]

BTW, the images for your flag icons were pirated off the nations you named in your athlete registration post.

How dare you!?!

Well, that is just slightly awesome. If I weren't a part of this conspiracy, I would suspect that Hersfold, being the arranger of this whole thing, made himself do the best and his deputy come in second.

 

[Apollo-Industria]

Yeah... for some reason this always happens. Sorry.

I wonder why...

 

[Hersfold]

Well, that is just slightly awesome. If I weren't a part of this conspiracy, I would suspect that Hersfold, being the arranger of this whole thing, made himself do the best and his deputy come in second.

Hey, you won the Women's Halfpipe.

I wonder why...

And to you too.

Tommorrow's schedule coming... soon. Maybe tommorrow.

[Hersfold]

.... that you're playing the winner of the last ground in the hockey game? Not really - you'd have to play them either today or tommorrow or Monday. (pfft... I'm not thinking tonight.)

.... that you're only in one event tommorrow? That is... the schedule was made more or less at random.

 

[Apollo-Industria]

Hmm... didn't notice that. You have an eye for these kind of things, Hersh-er-I mean "Hersfold". I give. You can hit me on top of the head with a club if you like.

 

[Fedele]

You never cease to confound me...

 

[Hersfold]

You never cease to confound me...

 

[Apollo-Industria]

[Ator People]

By "finished" does that mean I'm out of the curling matches now and have no chance of a medel in that event

 

[Hersfold]

By "finished" does that mean I'm out of the curling matches now and have no chance of a medel in that event   

You obviously get a medal, since there's only three teams. At this point, your team has played all the games it was scheduled for, which is what the "finished" meant.

This tournament (Men's Curling) is based on the total number of points each team scores in their two games. Because of how curling works, the lowest number of points that can be scored in a single game (When you add both team's scores together) is 10 - minimum of 1 per end, 10 ends. So the only way you can possibly get a gold medal is if Fedele wins 6-4. Then everyone gets a gold medal in a three-way tie. It's possible that you could get a silver if Puckton scores 4 points or less or Fedele scores 6 or less, but chances are you'll be stuck with a bronze at this point. We'll find out on Wednesday.

*Hersfold heads off to make medals.
