Good luck, all!

[The King]

Puhhh what a game... 4am kick of for me locally here in Shanghai and no fun to watch at all....
It can only get better from here
Good luck to all my Argentinian Lux friends tonight !!!! May the best team win

[guillerme]

Hey king, good luck!, i am very nervous......

[Schroberts]

Many nerves today...

Go Argentina! Go USA!

[The Silken Knot]

WOW. What a day, eh?

Imagine this: You're a US teenager at the World Cup. Against all hope, you step onto the pitch for the first time as a player... in the knockout round. And then... you score a goal.

Okay, now imagine this: You're TSK. Your GYA:WCE prediction has the highest total goals. And you watch Tim Howard block goal after goal after goal after goal. 16, in fact. Talk about mixed feelings!

Congratulations to the Swiss, who were phenomenal. And congrats to Belgium and Argentina for advancing to the quarterfinals. Now, get out there and score. LOTS of goals, please.

[The King]

Heart Stopping Game!

Well done Argentina! A clean and in control goal at the right time! Penalties would have been fun though

All eyes on the cup now!

[Milltycoon]

I constantly imagine that I am TSK. I started doing this in 2009.

SEMIFINALS!!!
(Yes, the font color may be a bit partisan.)


The King is still in the lead, as he has been all tournament, with just four matches left to play. Will his incredible luck prescience hold?

[The King]

Looks like I cannot loose anymore

A 0:0 after extratime with a total of 16 penalties before Neuer saves a weak attempt by Argentina in the low right corner....
only kidding guys

Good luck and a hopefully memorable finale 2014!!!

(Okay, Whirly. Thanks.)

Just turn the lights back on for us. Worry about the other "under the hood" stuff later, if you choose.

Let there be rankings and resets and winners and a place to view them. And player pages with shinies. And let other hosts go back to being included in rankings. That way, Lux can resume until you have a perfect world for us. And if you can't or won't, let dustin resume control.

We're coming up on a year since your "mutiny". I think we've been exceptionally patient and supportive. Your turn, please.

[The Silken Knot]

Here we go...

Good luck, all!

[The King]

No final results?
Are you all still shell shocked?

Great game It will be in my memory for a long long time.

[WhirlPlaid]

Now that World Cup is over (and I am stoked that I got to be a visual participant), what should we all watch now?

[The Silken Knot]

Sorry to have been negligent on this. Chalk it up to extended celebrating... or stunned disbelief... or general laziness.


Huzzah to The King!!!
In a dazzling display of mathematical prowess, he maintained his lead in the event from start to finish! I guess that's why he's The King. Congratulations! You are now the proud possessor of the highly coveted GOLDEN ABACUS.


Wear it in good health. It may even find a home on a profile page one day.


Thank you all for playing! This was a tricky one, eh?

[The King]

Thank you all so much for a fun worldcup !
Special amazing thanks to Silken of course !

On to new goals now I read a mention of a profile page!!! Great lets do it (Wink at Para)

(Current Lux player pages are a myth, no?)

[WhirlPlaid]

(Current Lux player pages are a myth, no?)

Current Lux player pages? I haven't seen anything current for quite some time. My "current" page says my FH Percentage: 23.58%. Do you think anything has changed?
