Just saying, but more playgroups die after Nationals than those that grow.

Or New Orleans. Or Kansas City. Or Columbus.

I wonder why that is? Do you think that it has to do with the stress that is put on the host?

This is all MN propaganda trying to coax the southeast into backing out.

WE WON'T GIVE IN !!!!

Quite possibly, however our playgroup is almost exclusively age 18+ at the moment, and is comprised of some veteran CCG players. Plus, we thoroughly enjoy Redemption, competition, and each others' company so it's unlikely that our group will die after a National tourney. (That is unless the vehicle we're traveling in gets involved in an unfortunate situation, but I trust that God won't let that happen)

I'm not going to speculate on why, there are various reasons, but Nats has killed almost as many playgroups as it as left unchanged.

A bunch of the guys in the south are planning to fly up to MN for LOCAL TOURNAMENT in late February. But not for nats?

Oh really? Eric will not be able to make it. I have only heard one TN guy show any interest. Chris/Clift will not be able to make it. I am the only one that said I was going, which is still a toss up, but it should work out. Although the majority of us should be going to Nationals, a bunch of guys will not be going to MN in February. Secondly, that LOCAL TOURNAMENT, is not just any local, it's the most competitive tournament of the year, and especially appealing to us T2 gurus down here in the south. MN this year for nats, next year TN, with Chris Fachman and myself hosting. GA will not have nationals this year because I am not going to put in a bid, and I am pretty sure Eric would tell me if he did. Minus the whole, we have no venue thing...

alright MN 2011, TN 2012, and how about Hawaii 2013(some of us here in MN need a bit of warmth you know).

Funny, I believe in Sowing & Reaping. It's God Law that runs the universe. Thank you for sharing your speculation with us. But I'll stand on God's Word and it says you reap what you sow.

The numbers prove it, we've grown in size and impacted the community. Of which it started from people just sowing seed. Sharing the game, sharing the gospel, sharing God's Love and it'll grow because God said so in His divine Law of Seed, Time, and Harvest.

I sorry to say this but I don't think that God will pick Florida this year. I hear he likes snow that will probably still be here in August $:-\$ .

I'm fine with Florida or Tennessee (preferably TN) in 2012, but MN for 2011.

I have yet to see a playgroup grow because of nationals. I have seen playgroups die because of nationals.

Also, are there any great known Florida players? Part of the reason of MN being such a popular vote is because of the people that are in MN (Justin, Jonathan, Nathan, John, James). And southern MN (Gabe and Kevin). And adopted Minnesotan (Tim).
All of the above have national ranks. Poor Nathan is the only national Minnesotan whose name doesn't start with a J. It's nice for the tough competitors to live close.
I apologize if I missed anybody. I think MJB might have a T1-MP placing, but that shouldn't be a category anyway

He wasn't arguing anything; just pointing out that our playgroup is growing from the seed that has been sown and that we'd love to have a National tourney held in Florida. It may be statistically in your favor to say that playgroups typically die after Nationals, but that doesn't prove that Nationals is the cause. Not everything posted on this forum is intended to incite some sort of argument. I personally see no reason to try and argue with Drew's statement.

Tim Impossible-last-name was in Florida for a while - They also have RR and while he doesn't have any titles, he's still awesome, SE in general has Eric, Cliff, Tyler, The Kamke's, Kirk was in FL for a while too wasn't he?

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #114 on:** January 10, 2011, 01:08:46 AM »

SE does have a lot of good players (although, mainly T2), I don't deny that. Who was in Florida doesn't matter, since they've moved and are no longer near.
Good point with RR. Although, if we're going for awesomeness factor, Wild Bill wins. I'd still prefer TN over Florida.

Crashfach2002 · « **Reply #115 on:** January 10, 2011, 04:40:39 AM »

Well, lets just say that I will be putting in for Nationals for 2012 and talking to Rob about it, but ultimately it is Rob's decision wheither he wants it in TN or FL, (or anywhere else for that matter). I'll be happy with either choice. I will say I'm very green as far as hosting tournaments. While I've hosted every level except Nationals last year, I've never even been to a Nationals, and have only been hosting a year. So Tyler is the main pull for a Nats in TN, and he doesn't even live here!

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #116 on:** January 10, 2011, 11:03:29 AM »

I also support TN as a venue for NATS. My suggestion would be for Chris to start getting playgroups involved near the main airport: McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) Louisville, TN 37777

so we can shuttle people easier to and from the tournament.

610 West Hunt Road

I disagree except for the type 2 part. Most of our play group has only been playing for a year so for most of them Type 2 decks are expensive to build considering their collections really only limit them to 56 card, tournament-grade decks. There's only one guy who could move and that would be a great honor because he's active military.

Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

You misunderstood me. It doesn't matter that Kirk and Tim Maosikdmflaowefihnaskjdfnawe used to live in Florida, since they no longer live in Florida. My first statement about SE's good players being mostly T2 players was referring to Georgia, not Florida.

I'll check this place out Clift, if it ever quits snowing. My current place is about 30 to 45 minutes from the airport, but from talking to some people that isn't unlike most of the other Nationals venues.

Well, I live in the Southeast, and I am the most awesome player the game has ever seen. I get so bored with winning that I create decks that are sure to lose, but I sometimes win anyway. Clearly we should have Nats in Florida this year because that's where I live.
