Another week, another Grindstone! We had twenty three people show up on time to punch each other for entertainment.
Despite being a little... understaffed when we began, everything got off rolling and before long, the mass combat was underway again.
In a dramatic fashion, last week's champion Flynt "The Hyena" Reddard was eliminated soundly in the first round by someone making their Grindstone debut! Sigrid Jerriksdottir managed to put the dog down with a thorough trouncing.
Our final match ended up being another Grindstone veteran, Percival Turner, against yet another new face! Kyuu'saw Yuusatu managed to fight his way through three other opponents to meet Percival at the end of the line.
In a long, intense match, Percival ended up being the winning party. Seriously, you could cut the tension with a knife. They both defended a dozen times in a row before finally letting the winning blow go through!
We can look forward to some finer tuning on some of the rules and the opening speech. We do not want a repeat of what happened this week...
Double finally: I've decided to keep my Grindstone notes in a googledoc. I usually track everything in Excel, but that's difficult to share. So, I hereby present what should hopefully be a weekly-updated track of every fight, as well as some other trivial data that I managed to jot down.
