Along with 14 others.

A shot at west coast having nationals.

hey, its their turn.  and they have certainly earned it.

That doesn't seem to matter to some people.

woah! there are turns?? you mean like, it's a board game... and the next turn is California. WHERE NEXT FOR NATS?!!

Orlando. My turn is next because I am the player to the left of California.

You can show "utmost respect for Bryon and company out west" by supporting the decision, which was Rob alone's to make.

awesome! I can visit my cousins out if Florida!

Eh, I was going to say something to all the California Haters but I dont really care.  The deal is, even in this economy, I am thinking seriously of carpooling over there and doing an overnight 24 hour drive to NATS.  If that is a problem to for you to go, then don't go.  Not everyone can go to nats every year.  but this year a lot of good California players, Nevada players , oregon players, Washington Players and Arizona Players will get an easy ride to nats.  I think we will have about as many people there at nats this year as we had in Columbus last year.  maybe a little less but there will be many New faces there because they previously have been locked out.  Die hards will come No matter what so I dont think Rob will lose much if any money on Nats.

Since you don't like the competitive atmosphere at Nationals I am not sure why you are even posting.

You're not sure why I am posting on the "What the next set is not..." thread? Any notions I have about Natz is unrelated to this thread, as was your obnoxious post about Natz in the first place.

But to humor us all and amuse my self I will respond.

Glad I can make so many people happy.  

It is not disrespectful to deny California nationals, ....

Yes, it is. It is disrespectful to "deny" anyone Natz based on selfish reasons.

...it just isn't centralized for everybody.

That is not the only criteria for choosing a Natz location as evidenced by the NYC Natz.

That is my only disagreement.

Your own words belie you. Let's review:

1.

It isn't a matter of earning anything, it is a matter of Number of Good players in the region....

Here is your most arrogant remark. Are you seriously suggesting that there are not as many "good" players on the west coast as there are in the midwest?

2.  

... and total number of players.

Here is your prophetic remark. How could you possibly know how many people will attend a west coast Natz, especially since one has never been attempted? Apart from how much support they may be able to drum up on their own, there are plenty of non-whining players from across the country who will make the trip anyway.

3.

Not to mention the money Rob will lose. 

Exactly how much is that again? Rob told you this directly? Even if he did lose money, that would be his decision to make. Are you seriously questioning Rob's motives for making an adult decision?

4.

I do believe california deserves Nationals at least once but perhaps not in this economy.

This "economy" makes any Natz difficult for anyone, no matter where it is held. See Apologentics' comment a few posts back for another reason why your logic is faulty.

- not a starter deck
- not a tin
- not a foiled wrapped booster pack
- not in a house
- not with a mouse
- not in a tree
- just let me be 

Will they come in a box?  Will the new cards rocks?
Will they help out my deck or make it a wreck?
Will there be a new theme?  We can only dream.
Word to your moms.  Are there any new Doms?
Will there be Lost Souls?  Does anyone knows?
Is the set better than Pats?  Can we get them at Nats?
Are they smothered in lard?  What's the best card?
How many will there be?  I guess we'll have to wait and see.

oh the green eggs and ham moments
XD

YMT... I am not as well versed in the art of quotes as you are so could you not jump aroud so much?    I will do my best to keep up.



"You're not sure why I am posting on the "What the next set is not..." thread? Any notions I have about Natz is unrelated to this thread, as was your obnoxious post about Natz in the first place"

No. I am not sure why you are arguing with me about this when you don't care about Nationals. FWIW you are no more obnoxious in your posts then I am in mine. I can be over bearing at times though lol. But it was a good joke eh?

"Yes, it is. It is disrespectful to "deny" anyone Natz based on selfish reasons."

However not only on selfish reasons.


"That is not the only criteria for choosing a Natz location as evidenced by the NYC Natz."

Correct that is why I mentioned two criteria in my second post.  I should have said my MAIN argument instead of my "only"

"Here is your most arrogant remark. Are you seriously suggesting that there are not as many "good" players on the west coast as there are in the midwest?"

The mark was posted with no arrogant intent, it is simple true. If you want me to show you I will do so.

"Here is your prophetic remark. How could you possibly know how many people will attend a west coast Natz, especially since one has never been attempted? "

Perhaps one has never been attempted for this very reason.

"   Apart from how much support they may be able to drum up on their own, there are plenty of non-whining players from across the country who will make the trip anyway."
I love how you automatically assume I am whining.  Plenty yes, but not as many as if it were somewhere else.

"Exactly how much is that again? Rob told you this directly? Even if he did lose money, that would be his decision to make. Are you seriously questioning Rob's motives for making an adult decision?"

By losing money I ment not gaining as much as if Nationals would be some where else (meeting the two criteria I mentioned, or even one). I admire that about Rob though.. Sacrificing money for a friend... beautiful and  because of that it is a sound and wise desiscion. With that being said from a players and business stand point it would be ideal not to have Nationals in California. 

This "economy" makes any Natz difficult for anyone, no matter where it is held. See Apologentics' comment a few posts back for another reason why your logic is faulty.

You completely dodge my point. It is even more difficult to have it out in California for everybody else.  All I was saying was that on top of not having a lot of players out west, there are bad economic happening all around us.

 I may not be on for at least 4 days so don't be alarmed if I don't respond to your next post.

Thanks for hearing me out Mrs Urban.
