https://twitter.com/Hakkeyoi_Sumo/status/1637660312974286850 Onosho is out. Which forces me to.... back to Tamawashi?? Or Nishikigi? (I just traded Tamawashi for Onosho, and my picks for the segment are Tamawashi, Nishikigi, Onosho) I guess if I have a choice I would prefer Nishikigi? I've created a really weird corner case for myself Saturnine Aberrance fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Mar 20, 2023 |

I'd have paid more than 10k to see the ritual that exorcised the death demon from hakuho and transferred it to ochiai.

He's being challenged more that he was at the start of the tournament, but the ability to deal with a stable-state situation, process, and then immediately take decisive action that generates a win is really impressive. Two days in a row he's gotten stuck in a bad spot and then outsmarted/outmuscled his opponent. Cannot wait to see him compete against the rest of the top of Juryo, going to be some great matches.

At this rate I fully expect WTK to pull a henka day 1 in May. I think this is the third(?) basho in a row where week 1 was just abysmal and the second week was just recovery (well, hopefully)

Thank you for that! We've gotten the months figured out but didn't recognize that it was always the second Sunday. That makes it easier.

Shodai feels different this basho. He fought real hard at the edge against Kotonowaka where as in the past few tournaments I feel like he just would have given up and taken the step out. Wonder what changed?

Hakuho is such an undeniable king that like across all sports I think he might be the most. In basketball it's MJ v LeBron in tennis it's the big three fight in MMA it's like five different people. In sumo it's Hakuho and then really really really complex arguments of Our Culture to argue for like Raiden or Chiyonofuji. Like a king: "Hakuho may have exceeded Taiho on a numerical basis, but spiritually, he has a way to go yet," a veteran sports writer remarked to Shukan Bunshun (Feb 5). "He said he's going to 'give all he's got,' but the next day it came to this." The writer was referring to Hakuho's tardy appearance before the media on Jan 26, following his breaking of Taiho's record. "He'd been out drinking until about 7 a.m., and turned up about an hour late for the press conference, which had been scheduled for 10:30 a.m.," the writer complained. At the press conference, Hakuho was described as "reeking of alcohol" and "inarticulate."

Ice Phisherman posted:Well gently caress. I just traded for him. Kenning, can I get...Ugh...Shodai? Anyone but Tamawashi please. Per the "Extremely fine-grained kyujo auto-trading rules" you, in fact, get Abi. My desire to give you Shodai is strong, but we must hew to the spirit of sumo, and follow rules that no one likes. Iron Chef Nex posted:I'll put in a trade for the now kyujo Onosho See above, alas I wish I could give you Midorifuji, but you must take Ryuden. Saturnine Aberrance posted:https://twitter.com/Hakkeyoi_Sumo/status/1637660312974286850 Alas, the result is Nishikigi, and nothing else. Akiosan posted:Can I trade Onosho for Abi please. Or if not him whoever else you deem fit. Against all odds, you must accept...Tamawashi. These four kyujo trades have all been quite fraught, so I'll clarify the rule from the Fantasy OP: Any kyujo that occur on days 8-15 will be auto-traded, using the draft picks provided before the basho. Any player can freely modify their draft picks on days 1-7 to account for possible kyujo in week 2, and the modified picks will be used for week 2 kyujo auto-trades (accommodating the wire etc.). If a given set of picks can't be used because of the wire and precedence, these are the whims of a cruel fate, and no trade will take place.
