Well, I have won The Second Wall Tournament! - What is there more to say?
No seriously, I apologize officially here to all the team-mate climbers (opponents) for having them inconsiderately taken out of the race. But how do you say: There can be only one. And this happens to be to the best, namely me!!!
Trophy shots:
(Now it is probably expected me to say something
intelligent 
, like a professional athlete after success in a television interview, ah?
-- Well, I'll try)
First, I must say, climbing on The Wall is a hard thing to do. No one who has not been through can imagine. You climb up there, mind you absolutely vertical, having no safety net under you and so to speak doing a mystery tour. And when you encounter a blocker then you will be mercilessly thrown out of the wall like an unwanted foreign object. Hit the ground hard no one asks you if you still have the courage or the strength for another attempt! Eyes closed, teeth clenched you head up again towards that damned finish!
I even had the additional difficulty in the decisive final round having to climb without that protective suit. Since the organizers have something screwed up. But like always in such events, it's all about fame and reputation for the organizers, no one asks what happens to the athletes. And I was not the only one who had problems with the suit. Generally the clothes changing system is far from mature, but the organizers rather prefer to shine with the newly introduced video monitors in the conference room than care how comfortable the participants will be!
But back to the actual match:
When you have encountered the first two or three blockers, then you have to make the tough decision in which direction you go ahead. There are roughly three possible approaches to the goal. Either centrally from below or sideways from the right or left. And if the opponent is not well with you, then he has left only one option to you and this can be also quite devoured. Here clear male or female decisiveness is needed, even at the risk of being completely wrong. So that's just The Wall. Nothing for wimps!
Ultimately it's a matter of extremely dogged perseverance and iron will to win.
(No no, this is of course complete rubbish, luck plays a big role)

This article above is clearly a joke article and indicated criticism to the organizers
is not meant seriously!
On the contrary, after I've already lost some interest in Uru Life, this event has brought back fun to me in the Cavern. My approval to the TOC-Team for the effort in preparation and execution of this event. And as I said during the tournament, the little bugs that occur here and there in the game are "the icing on the cake" ("das Salz in der Suppe", oder das "Zuckerhäubchen"). Within time you can embosom them, can you?

On this occasion, I do not want to let it be unmentioned that I am quite aware of that some Uru-fans on Myst Online are not idle and provide almost regularly events there in the Cavern. Unfortunately they do not make it my taste.
And just being online to be online to get a reason for to donate, that's not my thing, sorry.
I, for my part, can live with more or less long intervals between attractive events with small improvements or innovations to Uru Life. And then we all will meet together again in the Cavern! Whether Uru Life can survive this way, I cannot evaluate.
I also would like to mention that there are quite more, far more modern online-games out there...
And as The Wall tournament shows, competition is a tough business...
Anyway! May Uru Life continue to be beyond good and evil...
But I'm a Pragmat so do not expect too much sympathy from me.
