Neuroshima Hex Tournament of DOOM!

Doom, I say!
Okay, let's throw down on some NH. I'll keep things simple for our first outing here; I've got some ideas for a more elaborate set-up in the future, but that can wait.
Challonge sign-ups: http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/4g38ws62gd ... or search for "Neuroshima Hex Tournament of Doom."
(If for some reason you don't want to mess with Challonge, just add your desired user name here; I'll go ahead and add you manually).
Format: Double-elimination. I'd like to get six players; eight would be ideal; more than eight would be fine, too.
Ties: It is possible to tie in NH. Any tied games will need to be replayed (for you English-types, just think of it as the old, crazy FA Cup format).
Special rule: You cannot play the same faction two games in a row. No stocking up on Borgo every time. We'll have to be on the honor system here; maybe it would be nice if everyone posted what they were playing once a match began?
This is a community event: If you've never posted here, please do so to introduce yourself. Just one post is good enough. But if you can't be bothered to introduce yourself, I'm going to delete your entry.
Other than that, I can't think of much more to add. We've all played NH; we've all used the app; we know how it works. Let's just open it up and see who signs up.
Edit: changed to correct URL.
Edit 2: added posting requirement.

Warning to would-be opponents: I am supremely terrible at this game. My terrible-ness is unparalleled in this universe. Enjoy an easy win from me.
Duke, can you manually add me to the Challonge thingy as "Qryten"?

Bleh, stupid Challonge.
Okay, got it: checked the box for "add sign-up page" and got a URL:
http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/4g38ws62gd
That should do it. I'm going to test it now with my fake account. It's called ... you'll love this ... FakeAccount.
Edit: Yep, that was the ticket. "FakeAccount" is ready to play! Sadly, he will soon be deleted.
