Yeah Kenning do you have a kofi or some other slush fund we can chip into so you can buy yourself a round of drinks for this?

Always appreciative of your effort but even more so with this utterly cursed basho.

This is so loving dumb, it's clear to anyone with eyes that anyone walking in to that building can be assumed infected at this point, partially I'm sure due to the Nagoya crowd's complete inability to even pretend to keep masks on, and that's with cameras pointing at them, I can just imagine the bullshit that's happening backstage which is where the rikishi are forced to walk right by people.

I'm so sad for Tamawashi.

Please pull from my initial list to replace Tobizaru and Daiesho; I'm too bummed out by how this basho is going r.e. COVID to actually check who I'd have on deck.

Ooooooooof.

Since it's so close to the end I'm not going to try to trade and just run it out. Just need my last 3 guys to win and double runner up. With another prize maybe. That's all, we got this.

What an absolute shitshow

From the COVID mess to Wakatakakage choking on the final leg of his ozeki run, I can’t think of a basho that’s been a bigger letdown.

Please trade Tobizaru for Tochinoshin, I guess. Let’s see if the old dog has one more win in him.

Do you think they will give special prizes to kyujo rikishi that still got KK? Tobizaru for sure deserves fighting spirit. Also, they are going to be left with no one but Shodai to receive the awards otherwise.

Kenning can I please trade Tobizaru for Aoiyama, Hokutofuji, Tochinoshin in that order unless I got an auto-trade for day 13 already? Thank you!

This was a rough day for the heya. Two COVID withdrawals, two matched up against each other.

Nishikigi got his KK before he got COVID, thankfully. With Tsurugisho out, I will take the next of my M11 picks, Midorifuji.

I don't think I have anyone out but I have genuinely lost track so just in case I want to make it clear that I will not be trading, not matter what.

Ride or Sho-dai.

Also this basho is loving cursed and the only thing that could possibly even partially redeem it is if the jokes come true and Shodai gets the yusho by being too lazy to catch covid.

How many folks still have their original five? I feel like if you make it to the end of the basho with all five still intact and wrestling you should get a pat on the head or something.

It turns out that the real fantasy was thinking we’d make it through this basho

Apropos of nothing, I’m unceremoniously declaring intai after my kyujo. Honestly this basho is a shitshow but I have had a lot more fun watching it when I don’t have any dogs in the fight. I don’t mean that to sound like fantasy is bad, but with my personality I found myself not caring about bouts that didn’t feature my wrestlers, and once I had no real stakes in the game. This is 100% just a “me” thing, though.

Kenning, thanks so much for running this!

So I’m hanging up my mawashi having clawed my way up to Yokogoona all of once which I think was still a pretty cool achievement. Clearly the Tokushoryu of fantasy!

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Banana Canada posted:

If Endo is out can I get my other M1-5 still-standing pick of Ichinojo? If yes, I'd like to do that first.

If not and if Daieisho is also out then I'd like to trade out Daieisho for Wakatakakage > Hoshoryu > Abi. I will then pick my trade for Endo tomorrow after seeing today's results because if all the other M1-5 lose their bouts today, I don't see any point in even trading out Endo seeing as I'd immediately pick up -0.5 for a second trade (does this penalty still apply for kyujo autotrades?) and -0.5 for a 2nd MK since no other remaining M1-5 rikishi can make KK if they lose their next bout and the rikishi would only be in my stable for the final day.

Didn't see any updates on how my request panned out (probably because you are tearing your top knot out trying to manage your spreadsh*ts). I'll give my final-day kyujo trade instructions dependent on how my prior request was handled.

If already got Ichinojo for my M1-5, then I would like to trade Daieisho for Hoshoryu > Abi > Wakatakakage in that order.

If I got my S/K Daieisho trade already, then I would like to trade Endo for Kiribayama > Ura in that order. If neither are available, then I will stick with Endo since all other choices would come with an immediate -1, making a trade neutral points at best and negative points at worst.

Teru never should have given him the chance for an easy win, of course Shodai would be all over that.

Going to be a tense last day for me. Kiribayama and Tochinoshin both going in 7-7 with one last chance to get KK, Takakeishio vs Terunofuji to provoke a 3 way playoff if Ichinojo and Teru both lose, or see them both lose if Ichinojo wins his earlier match and Teru loses.

He's lost his run. I think he needed 11 to have a reasonable shot, or for it to continue onto next basho.
