Well Bill, I will try to come but I have one thing that is really holding me back.
I havent announced it to very many people on the boards yet but I am having a baby (Yes it is a miracle of science) ...
well, my WIFE is having a baby and he is due Feb 21st. While I love redemption, I also love my wife more and I have a funny feeling she wont let me travel to Minnesota just a few weeks after the birth of my firstborn son.
...but if the kid comes early.... ;D
-
There are a few things more important than Redemption. We will be praying for your wife and the baby on the way.
-
Yes! Finally! It's T2 time!
Ah, I remember last year...up until 3 AM playing Dominion...and I believe I won ironman then? Maybe Gabe or Josh beat me, I can't remember.
I will definitely be staying overnight. And this time, I will actually be playing T2. :P
-
As I would have to fly to make it feasible...I'll have to think about it...along with talk with my wife, since her school will likely not let her get out on time...we'll see..
-
PM me the cost of your flight and we'll see how much we could help you out.
-
SirNobody's distant record looks like it will be broken. We might have Brad fly in from Baltimore, MD. He will be the first person to fly to a local Redemption Tournament. Although I think CountFounts van from KC almost flies. Maybe we can multiply the number of people in a vehicle by the mileage to count for total miles.
-
Hey Bill,
I don't know if Justin talked to you or not, but it seems like he might not be able to make it again, as that weekend is the college group retreat. However, it's possible that I could take his place...not sure yet though...
-
Lord willing TracerBurnout and I will be coming. I'm not sure if we'll spend the night Friday or make it a marathon Saturday again this year. I'll let you know when the time gets closer.
-
BrianGabe, are you guys traveling from NC? If anyone wants or can maybe i can ride up and carpool. Its a 16 hr drive for me.
IA, nevermind
how much cost can you cover Bill? Itll cost me 218.00 to fly.
-
how much cost can you cover Bill?
Send him a PM. ;)
Its a 16 hr drive for me.
Be sure to make Tyler and Eric tag along. A 16 hour card ride is much more fun with friends and we'd love to have more of the top T2 players show up!
-
I will ask off for this one and help with gas.
-
i would most likely fly to this one i think...
-
Yeah I do not have that money. :'( I need more hours at work or a new job!
-
ooooh, Type S again. I must go. don't use foils this year though! they make me cry.
-
I hope you and your Dad can make it. When will you be moving to Rochester?
-
Well Bill, I will try to come but I have one thing that is really holding me back.

Well, well, well... ;D
I guess I will be there after all! thanks Micah...(Micah really loves his daddy!)
-
Tonight is another Powerball drawing. {keeps fingers crossed} ;)
-
I hope you and your Dad can make it. When will you be moving to Rochester?
depends on when we can put the house on the market. I'm pretty sure we'll still be living in Austin when the tournament roles around. dad starts his new job just 3 weeks before that, so...
-
You're moving here to Roch town? Nice! More competition!
-
You're moving here to Roch town? Nice! More competition!
haha, yeah. I'll still be reppin' Austin though. prepare for epic games every month!

There will also be Munchkin, Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, Family Business, (possibly) Cutthroat Caverns, and much more

AMAZING!!!! FORGET T2, PLAY GAMES!
those are some amazing games... it's been too long since I've played Munchkin. OH nats. (of course, that's when I played Cutthroat Caverns too, and when I first saw Family Buisness being played.) I've never played Family Business. is that one game going to be there? the one at OH's nats that came in the giant bullet? I can't think of the name right now... BANG! that's it. I was thinking it was Boom.
ok, so we're definitely going to have to have awesome game nights.
-
Bang is for sure (as long as soundman comes)
-
I guess I will be there after all! thanks Micah...(Micah really loves his daddy!)
Congratulations.
That means possibly OH, MD, and GA will be new states represented at the tournament this year.
-

I can easily bring the Bang Bullet with me :P

Calling all Counts, Calling all Counts, is CountFount going to make an appearance with the Fount Mobile?

Good the Count is coming along with 7 dwarfs.
SirNobody are you bringing anybody with you?
Now we just need some Wisconsinites and Canadians to show up. Ah!
-
I will be driving over from wisonsin if I come ;) Does that count?

Koalas are not native to Wisconsin so I'm guessing no. :-*
-
This is going to be one fun tournament...I'm considering staying over at the church myself just for fun, despite living five minutes away. However, I will possibly have a three hour practice for fight team that morning, also at church. Yes, I said fight team, and yes, it involves deadly weapons. Imagine me as Arianna from AW minus the purple hair and you get the idea. Same weapon even. In other words...you might want to consider letting me win if you play me. Anyway, I probably wouldn't get to play two-player, but I will definitely hang out and participate in whatever I can. :)

I might come, depending on what my schedule looks like/if I can hitchhike a ride with someone in our play group.

Bill,
I was wondering something. After looking at the front page I didn't see a price on the tournament? How much are you charging for each specific event?

I don't know, I haven't talked to Gil about it yet. I should probably do that. I should probably start working on a deck too :)

-
Hey,
And what will you do all Friday night, sleep? ;)
Well, I don't get off work until 7:00, so I'll be driving up until 2:00am. Then I'll probably just hang out with Britta and John the rest of the night.
Tschow,

Good, you can help me build me deck then ;) After all thats when I do best - when I build them the day of, or night before the tournament.
-
Bill,

The only type that cost anything is Type S ($.25)
I might come, depending on what my schedule looks like/if I can hitchhike a ride with someone in our play group.
You better show up after doing so well last year, besides someone has to keep an eye on that Wester boy.
I will be driving over from wisonsin if I come ;) Does that count?
You'll have to ask the Count. :D Hope you can make it otherwise who would keep me up all night. SirNobody is usually quiet by himself.

I really wish I could join y'all. For the first time, y'all didn't schedule it on a weekend we have a rugby game! The bummer is that I have no car, so flying would just cost too much to be feasible.

Maybe any donations that might have been made to me to fly can be redirected to you. :)
I cannot come now. And I may not make it to Nats. :-[ We just got a new CEO and one of his first acts was to re-instate a major project that was on the back burner...one to which my resources are committed. It's a 5-6 month project to install some SAP subsystems. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll still be able to attend Nats. It would kill me to miss Nats if it ends up in MN or IA. :'(

if you could just make it to KC, maybe the good Count could bungy cord ya to the roof of the van. :)
-
Or if you had a chain we could drag you. Either way the Count is glad to assist. ;D

Sent you a PM
-
Hmmm I might be able to somehow get a ride to KC. Do you know when you are leaving from KC?
If I look into Greyhound, which stations in MN should I look into?
Bill, thanks for your generosity, but I think I would have needed to buy a ticket a few months out coupled with that to make it feasible.
Kirk
-
If I look into Greyhound, which stations in MN should I look into?
There are three stations in St. Paul. Any of those would work.
Who knows, with the rumors that Nationals 2010 might be on Mars, this might be your only chance to play in a big T2 tournament this year. ;)
PM Sent.

Seriously? We would love to have you ride up with us. It is a 7 hour drive and we were going to try to leave around 2p-3p. We haven't filled up yet and if you let me know your ETA I can save a seat for you. I can also pick up in Des Moines.

Quick question for all y'all planning on spending the night prior to the tournament at the church...
There are a number of options for the evening. Included among these are
1) A separate local for TEAMS. Since it is past the filing deadline, this would need to be one of the impromptu locals we have heard so much about. The cost would be free.
2) T2-Sealed deck. Each player would get two copies of the same starter deck, a smattering of commons/uncommons in the appropriate brigades to balance good/evil and their choice of FoOF/RoA tin. This would end up costing about $14.
3) T2-Booster. Each player would get two FoOF/RoA tins and a TexP pack, This would end up costing about $18.
4) Free gaming time. At minimum we will have Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, Risk, Memoir '44, Munchkins, Family Business, etc. available to play in addition to Redemption. If anyone would like a Dominion tournament, I can set one up. In any event gaming would be free (unless wagering breaks out).
5) Sleep. Judging from my performance at this tournament the past couple of years, this is overrated.
Respond here or PM me.

I would go with the impromptu teams local, though the other options sound fun as well (except number 5). I'm currently planning on staying Friday night, but I might have to talk about that with m'lady. I might be able to convince her to come, but that's doubtful.
Also, if we did do the T2 Booster, would we actually be drafting in the traditional style, or would we just open all the packs and build a deck directly? I'm thinking that it might be difficult to get a decent balance of good/evil if they were drafted.
-
Option 3 would be my first choice, but I have the same concern as the Professor.
Also, if we did do the T2 Booster, would we actually be drafting in the traditional style, or would we just open all the packs and build a deck directly? I'm thinking that it might be difficult to get a decent balance of good/evil if they were drafted.
However, I'm sure I will ultimately be bugged into option 4 anyway, so this is probably irrelevant. ;)
-
I would disable that rule for the draft, just as t1 disables the 1 of a card with s.a. per 50 rule.
-
hmm, a type 2 booster sounds fun...but just playing other games sounds good too...Not really in the mood for teams or sealed..

Funny you should ask because I've been thinking about that (as I still stick with my earlier contention that the only player I know who is wicked-sharp enough to draw balanced directly is the Professor's youngest sibling).
I was thinking of keeping the traditional style with a couple of possible options to help this out.
1) Allow players to keep three separate draft piles--one each for good, neutral, and evil. At the end of every pack, the players could count their piles.
2) Gather up all of the excess commons/uncommons that people have hanging around (I have a few thousand cards that fit in this category). At the end any players short good/evil cards could take from the bin.
I'm open to any other suggestions as it's just for fun anyway. (I would prefer we do not do away with the rule, but that is personal preference.)
hmm, a type 2 booster sounds fun...but just playing other games sounds good too...
None of the choices are mutually exclusive (although I think doing both T2-sealed and T2-booster would be tough). I figure people are going to bring games anyway. I'm just posting in case we want to do something that requires prior planning and/or supplies to be brought.
-
1) Allow players to keep three separate draft piles--one each for good, neutral, and evil. At the end of every pack, the players could count their piles.
I would go with this option. Adding in extra cards would defeat the purpose of Booster IMO. Also, would all of the tins be random, or would you possibly get two tins with corresponding colors (for example, the FooF Judges tin and the RoA Luke/John tin).

I was thinking of giving two of the same tin to each player (which tin would be random, however). That way the FoOF/RoA can as the backbone of a deck just like they do in standard booster. T2 is hard enough without trying to mix-and-match brigades.
-
That makes sense. So would ALL T2 deck building rules still apply? I don't foresee anyone getting more than three of the same artifact, LS, fortress, etc. but it's possible. Obviously good and evil should be balanced, but would the card type limits be in effect as well?

Probably not. Standard booster waves the one per fifty rule (with the exception of Dominants), so I think T2-Booster should do the same with its card limits. Think of it as a bonus prize to anyone who gets six of any character/enhancement or four of any artifact/fortress.
Once again, this are simply my preferences (although I have thought about this a bit previously). I am open to all suggestions anyone would like to offer, and we can let consensus rule.
-
I think type 2 sealed would be more feasible, and a whole lot of fun.
-
Which airports should I look to fly into potentially? The Minneapolis/St Paul one only? Or are there others close by? And Matt, I live in the NW corner, so Little Rock is a ways away, haha. I could fly out of Fayetteville (XNA), Tulsa, or Ft Smith.
Kirk
-
MSP Airport is definitely the closest, but if you're interested, here's the nearest other airports you could check into. Note that the tournament is about 20 miles north of MSP.
Minneapolis-St Paul MSP Airport St. Paul, MN, MN (0 miles)
Duluth DLH Airport Duluth, MN (143.6 miles)
Central Wisconsin CWA Airport Mosinee, WI (174.7 miles)
Joe Foss Field FSD Airport Sioux Falls, SD (195.3 miles)
Hector FAR Airport Fargo, ND (219.2 miles)
Eastern Iowa CID Airport Cedar Rapids, IA (221.4 miles)
Dane County Regional MSN Airport Madison, WI (227.9 miles)
Des Moines DSM Airport Des Moines, IA (233.1 miles)
Sioux Gateway stinx Airport Sioux City, IA (233.3 miles)
Outgamie County Regional ATW Airport Appleton, WI (236.4 miles)
-
Eastern Iowa CID Airport Cedar Rapids, IA (221.4 miles)
If you can't get to MSP (which I would recommend first) I live about 5 minutes from this airport (really like 15min) and would be more than willing to pick you up on the way to MN (perhaps it's cheaper to fly there). I don't know you, but my home is open as well.
-
Hey this is Jonathan from Dayton OH, and I was hoping to drive up with Matt Archibald and Rod Stewart but unfortunately they both had to cancel. I would love to go but cannot afford to get there on my own. Matt had indicated that the cost would be about $30 each if the three of us had split the cost of going which is about my budget right now (actually it is stretching for me). So I'm not planning on it right now but if anyone is aware of a way to get there with $30, let me know! I would be happy to carpool if there was anyone coming near Dayton.
-
Not liking the new CEO at all. >:(
Yeah where did he come from.
Respond here or PM me.
I prefer a single elimination teams competition. That way it wouldn't take to long and everybody could play other games too. And I do plan on sleeping.
I would go with the impromptu teams local, though the other options sound fun as well (except number 5). I'm currently planning on staying Friday night, but I might have to talk about that with m'lady. I might be able to convince her to come, but that's doubtful.
We will have a seperate ladys sleeping room since Britta said she was staying over night.
-
And you expect her to get any sleep why? ;) C'mon, this tourney is almost as big as Natz. It only happens once!

more than at the last nationals. possibly.
seriously, it'll probably be around 30ish... which would be bigger then the biggest regionals last year.
-
Um Uh? Good try, but we pulled in close to 60 at NC regionals last year, you were there. Natz had 90+. 30 is a decent guestimate.
-

Seconded.

and I was joking about the nats thing.
-
Speaking of.....What does our current count of people that are "going" to show Everytribe???
Not sure yet. Probably around 30. Matt is hoping for 33 so we have to play 6 rounds. Not a big tournament but big for Type 2.
-
Um Uh? Good try, but we pulled in close to 60 at NC regionals last year, you were there. Natz had 90+. 30 is a decent guestimate.

-
Um Uh? Good try, but we pulled in close to 60 at NC regionals last year, you were there. Natz had 90+. 30 is a decent guestimate.
We pulled 60+ at the MN State tournament. We had over 70-some at the NC Regional. I'm not certain any other region broke 40 last year. Natz was officially clocked at 85, with 26 playing T2-2P.
Thirty-three is a decent guesstimate. That would put this tournament as the third largest T2-2P tournament ever. Remember, "Six rounds because we have to."
-

Do you actually have to have 33 playing T2, or could I help by bringing my siblings? :)

That's a tough question. On one hand, I'm sure the tournament guide says "players." On the other hand, I once built a deck for JSB23* for this tournament and he counted--so they don't really need to know all that much about playing. ;)
*One year at the MN T2 I was playing the second to last round with a chance to getting into fourth place going into the final round (which would have given me a decent shot at ending up second). I met up with JSB23 armed with the deck I built for him. Long story short, he got an incredible draw and it ended up crushing 7-1. True story. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
-
I will be bringing 13 type 2 decks to the tourney. Everyone of them has all of the dominants and are in card protectors and have been used by our group and are very very competitive. If there are any type 1 players that would like to try type 2 at the tourney but don't want to build a deck, I will be very happy to let them select one of the 13, even my tribal elders deck that someone suggested that I use Ehud to play RTC ??? , to make it better. (don't ask see thread).
I am also sure that if they select one of them Friday night, by Saturday they will have had plenty of chances to have one of the master Jedis :kenobi: from MN to tweak to be major league level or one of the Sythes :maul: from Nebraska. ;)
*legal disclaimer- Any losses which occur using a Count deck is solely the error of the operator. Any claims of the deck creator being an idiot makes the user more of one. Any mental disorders brought on by using one of these decks are purely coincendental and can be remedied by seeking counsel from Dr. EmJayBee.
-
If I do have a practice on Saturday morning, then yes, I will be sleeping. If not, well then, we'll see. I haven't pulled an all-nighter in a long time and it's probably about time I did another.
Jordan, you should definitely convince Joelle to come. Then we can have our own party in the sleeping room and talk about boys all night. :D Well, for her I suppose it would be one boy...but he'd be kinda boring to talk about all night. :P

Last year this T2 tournament was after an all-nighter with Wraith. I had never stayed up for 24 hours before, and all at once I went about 40 hours straight. Good times, good times. :)
I hope I can make it this year! Haven't played in quite awhile. :-\

hahahaha, I forgot about that. that was so epically exhausting... I'm thinking we should go up on Friday though. build a T2 deck sometime, we need to play 2 player when Scott comes back from Haiti.
-
Just so everybody doesn't get the wrong idea. You will be able to sleep if you want to. Their will be quiet sleeping rooms.(well maybe a little snoring). Some people actually do get a good night sleep.
We do have 2 people flying in so far and I imagine they will sleep on the plane and not at the tournament. Should be some great games this year. Can't wait to check in the decks and see what people are playing.

Hey,
...or one of the Sythes :maul: from Nebraska. ;)
Gil will not be making the trip with me this year. So it seems this Sith is in need of a new apprentice...or would that be a new master.
Tschow,
Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

there must always be 2 sith one to have power and to crave it :maul:

Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! I wanna learn how to get killed by RLK's! Like Anakin!

Hey,
Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! I wanna learn how to get killed by RLK's! Like Anakin!
Did you watch the same Episode 3 that I watched? As I remember it Anakin was the one that killed the RLKs (er...RLJs).
Tschow,
Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

I think he was referring to Episode 1, where Anakin was an RLK.

Correct - And Obi wasn't the oldest dude either when he gave Maul a taste of the blade.
-
I think he was referring to Episode 1, where Anakin was an RLK.
pretty sure it was Episode 6. when Anakin (the apprentice of the Sith Emperor) was pwned by an RLK
on a side note, why is that "an" instead of "a" ?
instaposted...
RDT, owned by an RLK... interesting. would that be a 1-5 game, or a 4-5 game?

If it were "a" it would be improper grammar >:c.

but why is that? I thought that an was only used when followed by a word starting with a vowel. yet I subconciously used it anyway.

It is used when followed by a word that's starts with the sound of a vowel. (IE: An herb). I pronounce RLK Are-Ell-Kay

it's this weekend!
any final word on what's happening on Friday?

I'm pretty sure we'll just be playing Munchkin, Dominion, Race for the Galaxy, and Super Mario Bros. all night. ;D

as awesome as that sounds, T2 booster sounds just a little bit better.

By gum, you are correct!
any final word on what's happening on Friday?
I didn't really hear overwhelming interest for any one suggestion. Of the choices T2 booster seemed to draw the most discussion. I will see if I (meaning Bill ;) ) can bring supplies for that.
We will definitely have non-Redemption games to play including Race for the Galaxy, Dominion, chess, ...
Oh yeah, Bill is forcing us to offer folks the option of sleeping.
-

Bill asked that we take Gabe and Tim along with us this year. I know this nice little woods that is only a couple hours (OK, four hours) away by foot. We can load Gabe and Tim in your van, drive out to the spot, and ditch them there go snipe hunting.

As long as they understand that the bare feet, pink dresses and the secret 'call' are all very important to attracting the snipe's attention.

Snipe Hunt I'm game. I haven't been on a snipe hunt since Boy Scout Days. I got to be the one that held the bag and the flashlight. Snipe are harder to find in winter hence the need for a pink dress.
as awesome as that sounds, T2 booster sounds just a little bit better.
I was hoping for teams since Jordan and I are undefeated. But T2 booster sounds possible.
Hey Ring Wrath what time are you going to show up?

not sure yet. still trying to get everything worked out... mi padre might not be able to go, since he has to be at church at 5 on Saturday... but he wants to go on Friday and leave around noonish on Saturday. so hopefully Friday. but if there isn't T2, I don't know, maybe dad won't make it ;)

I don't know Bill. If I'm able to make it Friday night, I think T2 booster would be my game of choice. But I'll put my teams deck together just in case.

Hey All,
It appears that the most interest was shown for T2 Booster. The current plan is to start this somewhere around 8:00. Since we are playing just to try something new, we can move the start time back if some people really want to play but can't be there at 8:00. Each player will receive two copies of a single RoA tin. The cost is going to be $15.
Also plaase remember to bring non-SA lost souls. I'll bring some, but they will quickly get eaten up at 12 per player.
I would appreciate a show of hands (figuratively) for who might be interested in playing given this info. Just respond on the boards. If we don't get at least six players we might have to reconsider playing.
Cheers.
-
Sounds fun, I'm in!
-
I'm not sure if I'm going to make it up friday night, but If I do then I want to play this ;)
-
hand raised.
my dad is considering it, since he can't play on Saturday he might not...
pretty sure two others in my group will do it. possibly one more.
-
I will probably do it, if I don't get assassinated.
-
I'm not sure if Ring Wraith counted me in his numbers, but I'm definitely down for it d-da-dizzel homedawg, yo.
As long as I don't fall asleep before we start. Like normal, I procrastinated on my homework so now I'll be up until 4AM just to make sure I get an A in history.... Rabble rabble....
-
I would love to play Booster, but I don't arrive till 11 pm.... :-\
-
I'm hoping to be there around 10:00, and I would like to do T2 Booster, but I still have some negotiation to work on with my better half. Since she works all weekend, she's not a huge fan of the idea that she might not spend Friday night with me either...
-
I would love to play Booster, but I don't arrive till 11 pm.... :-\
Same with me
:(
-
Dang, T2 booster sounds fun but we won't be there until close to midnight. Wow, hey, that's today! See you all soon!!! :)
-
Snipe Hunting or I eat beans all the way from KC ;D
-
my dad will do booster. so a for sure 2 from our group, Wanderer can probably make it tonight, so a 1 is probable there, and I'm really quite sure Sauce and Sauron will do it.

Given that I said
The current plan is to start this somewhere around 8:00. Since we are playing just to try something new, we can move the start time back if some people really want to play but can't be there at 8:00.
We could move the start time back to approximately midnight (and call it the Minnesota T2-Booster Midnight Shoot Out Classic :) ). This would certainly pack as much T2 crunchiness into one day as possible. The only issue I have with this is that I'm figuring two rounds of booster could take 4 1/2 hours--3 1/2 for the games and 1 hour for drafting deck building... While I personally think playing T2-Booster until 4:30 in the morning would be a blast, I can understand how this might not be for everyone.
Keeping in mind that this is just for fun so you could drop out after the first round which should end around 2:45, I guess there are three options...
1) Keep the time at 8-ish for the whole thing.
2) Do the first ever Minnesota T2-Booster Midnight Shoot Out Classic.
3) Play two different boosters--one at 8-ish and one when everyone gets there.
Thoughts anyone?
-
hmm...so that means normal gaming from 8-12am...sounds like a plan..if I draft poorly I can find something else to do ;D. I don't have an extra 100 sleeves of a specific color though....
-
2!!!! 2!!!! MIDNIGHT SHOOT OUT!!!
it'll also give me some time to work on my deck. our group might come a bit later if this is picked.
-
As much as I like a good nights sleep and I'm getting too old to stay up all night... well, how often do I get a chance to play T2 booster with this crowd?!?!? I'll pay for it later but I'm down. Don't reschedule the whole thing on my behalf but if all the other late comers don't mind staying up all night then cool.
-
Good luck everyone! Just be sure to avoid Speed Camp! ;) :D

+1

"Type 2-2 player
1st place - Chuck Lamp-MN
2nd place - Justin Alstad-MN
3rd place - Jeremiah Thiessen-MN"
these were the winners from our last regionals. you'll notice Gabe isn't on there...
probably because he was too busy playing T1 2 Player, but... that's not the point.
and... he didn't have speed camp at that point... ...
-
I would LOVE to play midnight T2BD. If this happens, I'll be there.

Since I'm riding with Gabe, I am following suit....like a padawan :laugh:
I'm sooooo down for this. I'm in aggreement with Gabe though that I'm going to pay for it later. I look forward to meeting so many of you.
On a side note: So what are all the different events. There has been some discussion about what we could do, just would like to know what we are going to do. I need to budget. What's this about snipes? I thought they were extinct?
-
Since it appears we will be gaining at least three players (one whom I been looking forward to meeting and two who are among my favorite people to lose to :) ) and not losing anyone if we push things back, we will plan on starting the T2 Booster at midnight give or take.
A note on costs: The plan is to give everyone player 2 identical RoA tins and two packs of Angel Wars for $15. Once everyone gets in if players want we can add TexP x1 or Kings x2 for $3, So the final cost might rocket up to $21 if everyone agrees to play with everything,
A note on Lost Souls: Please, please, please bring non-SA lost souls.
Gabe and Tracer, if you are too tired to drive back on Saturday evening, there is room available for both of you to spend the night. You guys might want to bring sleeping bags for that eventuality.
On a side note: So what are all the different events. There has been some discussion about what we could do, just would like to know what we are going to do. I need to budget.

What's this about snipes? I thought they were extinct?
I think they are extinct in Iowa, but Minnesota still has a small population. To make sure you don't miss the hunt, look for the good Count and I wrassling Gabe and Tim into the van. That will tell you it is time to go.
-
I'd like to say that I am bringing a Wii and games, but I'm not sure if there are going to be any TV's there. Can I get any confirmation on this? If there aren't any TV's at the church (I'll bet we could find one somewhere), would anyone be willing to bring one? It doesn't have to be big, just as long as it has audio/video plugins.
-
OMGosh.....Emjay.. you are hilarious!! I was laughing out loud in the college diner reading this. I really appreciate the kind words, and the breakdown of what we are doing. Gosh, I feel like I'm going to Nationals!
Snipe hunting, I look forward to the combat of others against Gabe and Tim into a van....that is blog worthy.

Do you have Wii Resort? Because if the snipes go into hiding then I have a chance to show that I rule the day at 100 pin bowling. (****)
**** indicates comment placement of others to indicate how lame I actually am at this game.

The youth department has them (TV's, Wiis, and games), but I don't know if Wild Bill talked to anyone who had access. I would PM him and see if he has/can talk to anyone.
two who are among my favorite people to lose to
I'm honored, really I am. I shall commence trash talking now.
Rubbish. Refuse. Garbage. Waste. Styrofoam plates and cups. Banana peels. MJB's best deck.
Which one of the above doesn't belong?
Styrofoam plates and cups, since they're actually useful for something.
Zing.

Hey now, the Banana peels are insulted. They're a classic prank, and thus useful for something.

Aw crud, I need to find a new joke before June.

You know, a funny thought just occurred to me: From the time I made my first reply on this thread until now has been two months, which equals about one sixth of the total time I've waited since the last T2 tournament...not sure why I felt that worth sharing...

Curiousity question to all.....if anyone has "words of discouragement" can you bring them this weekend? I'll buy or trade for two of them..
-

Naw, I'm just kidding. I have plenty of Words of Discouragement cards for trade. I will bring them if no one else does.
-
If you're playing Speed Camp I will never play redemption with you again ;) Kidding!
-
seriously? more speed camp? lame.
on a side note, my dad and Wanderer will not be coming with it being at midnight. they have to work on Saturday...

I'm sorry I thought your excitement was for everyone, We could do an earlier session to try and work out any kinks in the system.
Curiousity question to all.....if anyone has "words of discouragement" can you bring them this weekend?
OK, I'm not sure why you want these but here goes...
You'll never learn to play Type II well enough to be competitive.
Maybe you should stick with Type I.
Give up now while the giving up is good.
You play Gabe in the first round.
What?!? The card named "Words of Discouragement"?!? Forget what I said. ;)
Crud. I was instaposted by the Prof.

You wouldn't perchance have a discarder or shame LS? If not, I don't really need anything else, but we can work something out.

Why, oh, why?!? I haven't had a chance to play against you since we met at that epic T1-MP game. Both with three lost souls, both with Gifts up. I make an RA with Hur. Aaaah, good times. Good times.

That was ugly. Last. draw. NJ..... >:c. Had I gone with 50 cards in that deck instead of 52...... Oh well. That was a lot of fun :D
I got about one hour of sleep last night. So chances are I'd fall asleep in the middle of a rescue attempt. I might play depending on how much sleep I get before we start.
-
Sleep is over-rated. If there's something happening at the table that you should know about, we will wake you up.
-
Awesome. If I'm sleeping when its my turn, just assume I'm attacking the person with a soul and a defense I can get past.
So attack Ring Wraith every turn, just like I do in locals.

outside of playing Dominion and stuff
oh, and we hope to arrive around 8. since the booster changed, we changed.

Leaving Roch-town now. See you guys soon.

Keep me posted please and a report would be awesome! Also to clear up tracer's reputation, I asked for words for a trade of ours.

indeed!!! that is precisely why I am looking for them. i have two already lined up for you big guy....just need two more which prof says he has!
P.S. The Gabe train has left the building....ETA. 1130pm
-
If anyone is reading this, I got home without any problems, and am now sleeping. Depending on when I wake up and how I'm feeling then, it's likely that I will return, either for T2 Multi or for moar Dominionz.
-
turnout antone i wanna know how many came!(report would be appiated)
-
This local has 28 people playing T2-2P. They represent 6 different states.
-
that...was......awesome....
-
Ugh...I really wish I could have stayed. :'(
-
so... tired...
I honestly have no idea how 2 of the 3 multiplayer games went... twas a good time though...
-
By the way, did anyone find my missing Wiimote?
-
This tournament was epic. I stayed up for 31 hours straight. But I think Tim and I had the right idea...we left when type 2 multi started and watched Up and 13 Going on 30 at my house. ;D
Also, I'm sure the video will be posted at some point (if it hasn't been already), but the push contest was bomb. I proved myself to be 'one of the guys' (as if I haven't been since I started playing this nerdy game) by coming in fourth out of like twelve-some guys, doing 44 push ups in two minutes. Had I done six more, I would have come in second. This after no sleep and having a two hour fight team practice, in which I got an intense arm workout wielding a six foot staff and trying to swing hard enough to bruise my upper arms.
I can also now say I've been to mcdonalds at five thirty in the morning. :)

This tournament was epic.
Unbelievably epic.. Best game of the tournament: a free for all, Type 2 only "friend blocking", buckler wielding, headache (from laughter) producing game between Rawrlsauce (Allan), Emjaybee(Matt), a new player named Scott, and my lonesome self - who got timed out and side swiped at the end by a excellent play on Matt's part. That game was the best game of Redemption I have ever played. I will remember those moments above everything else....
Although....
the push contest was bomb.
I’m unbelievably amazed at how well fit these “nerdy gamers” are. Gabe Fontana (sorry if I screwed up the last name) came in first at 74 pushups in 2 minutes!!! AMAZING!! I struggled with that many when I was in the Army. Great Job Gabe. Britta....you are awesome!!
My thoughts:
Best player of the tournament (sportsmanship): Brad (Techno)..Not many people can take all the ridicule I gave him for shuffling his discard pile into his deck on my ANB…..
Best game of the tournament: See above
Best memory of the tournament: See above
Most generous: Bill Voigt….wow, I’m not sure where to start on how amazing he is. Thanks Bill for making me feel welcome and for all the “Jesus” you showed me.
Toughest part of tournament: Staying awake for 31ish hours and then driving home for 4.5 hours.
-
that...was......awesome....
oh noes rly that was the best! im so glad i got some sleep and that i wasnt out of it during the tourney. And it was nice meetin ya man i hope we meet again :)
-
T2 Booster was awesome. My table pulled both a Grapes (me) and a Mayhem (Gabe) :D. It seemed like every deck in it was amazing. My defense was one color with some great battle winners. My offense was two colors with some great battle winners (beings I was drafting the same color as Gabe, I think). The game was a blast. It was really tight, 7-6-5-4 or 7-6-5-5 or something like that.
T2 2 Player was also amazing. I was playing my t2 multi deck beings I didn't have time to build a 2p one, so I wasn't expecting much. However, my final record was 3-2, with my only 2 losses coming to Gabe and CountFount. My games against Lurch and Kirk were probably won due to draws, though :P. Kirk didn't draw any heroes for a long time, and I didn't draw any souls against Lurch for a long time. I don't remember a lot about my fifth game, not even a name. Just pink dice and a dog mascot.
T2 Multi: Wow. AMAZING. The third game was one of the best games I've ever played. 6 or 7 ANBs were dropped. I didn't draw any heroes so I kept making rescues with The Buckler Franta gave me.
Things I've learned from that t2 game
-If you write a sign that says "Alan's Land of Redemption" and place it on EmJayBee's souls, the officials won't add them to your score.
-If Seraphim makes a rescue, he gets your entire dice collection. If he makes a second rescue, switch one of the ones to a 6. He is protected from the next 3 ANBs
-If KOT defeats The Strong Angel, he gets a screw as a counter.
-Matt is a better singer than Justin Bieber.
-
Just going to throw this out there... One of the best tournaments ever!!!! Hope it continues. My experience started with what seemed like a bad idea, type 2 booster. And after the hour(correct me if im wrong) to build the decks, i thought my assumption to be correct. But it leveled the playing field to the point where everyone had some pretty awesome plays to get off. In the early round i witnessed one of the most amazing plays that shouldnt happen. Of one mind was played for a rescue attempt that ended up thwarting the lone divisions in the church an opponent had. My favorite play of my own was attaking with issac, banding in two females, and then playing rebekah meets issac for name on name. when i found myself still down by numbers, i used wrestling with God(a red enhancement that fulfills issacs requirements) to search their discard pile for the one enhancement with numbers i needed to win. Type 2 2 player the next day wasnt a let down either. i ended with a 4-1 record. i won the first because of lack of heros by an opponent. the second was a loss to sauce, who had an amazing draw/draws:) fought jacob, and had a close game where his miriam tore through my d for 5 ls. game four was with matt, who was using a combo deck that couldnt get started. it didnt help that i had a decent draw. last game was against was against martin. lopsided because i figured him out early and was able to implement the cards i needed. multi rounded up the day. that point is a blur for me cause of the lack of sleep and the 12 hours of redemption:) i had an amazing weekend, regardless of the fact that we crammed 5 6'0"+ and 180lbs+ guys into a car. if you ask me if i think it was worth it, i say in a heartbeat. until next year, continued blessings and safe travels. and props to bill for another wonderful tournament. if it wasnt for you, im positive something like this would have never happened.

Scottie_ffgamer is back as Cousin It!!! (Just because I forgot my password for my other profile :doh: )
Anyway, this tournament was great! Started with a 7 hour drive in a tiny car with a bunch of large built men. *sigh* And as soon as we got there, we were already playing! Type 2 booster took WAY too long to draft, but I really enjoyed the actual game. I wish we'd played another game.
After hearing about the second round of T2 booster and seeing some of the posts, it seems I'm one of the lucky ones who got 5 hours of sleep. But even that didn't feel like much after playing for 14 or so hours straight. 2 player was fun even though I only ended up 2-3. It was still a lot of fun getting to see the new cards, most of which I hardly know where to begin with, and talking to all my friends that I haven't seen since last year.
Multiplayer was all right. I don't remember a whole lot. Again, many many hours of Redemptions on extremely few hours of sleep. But it was still lots of fun.
Everytribe is definitely the most generous and awesome host ever. Helped the KC groups with travel, lodging, and more. Also was SO generous to everyone with food and drink. He tried to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible and did an amazing job at it! Thanks Wild Bill!
Also a big thanks to EmJayBee83 for housing a bunch of us last night. We tried to drive back Saturday night of last year and I'm still amazed CountFount didn't fall asleep at the wheel. Matt was absolutely a life saver! Thanks.
Overall, a great weekend. I look forward to next year already!

I would be the new player named Scott previously mentioned in the awesome T2 multi game. It was indeed amazing.
This was my first tournament (actually, I had only played 3 games of Redemption before showing up to the tournament). There's not much more for me to add to what has already been said, I would just like to throw out there that it was both fun and exhausting. I'm excited for next year!

Welcome! I'm new myself but I don't think I would have taken 4 souls against those guys in my 4th ever redemption game. Just remember you were one of four of the most epic game of T2 MP ever!

Were you the one who kept using Gabriel at our table?
-
No, He was in the epic Timed out T2 multi game
-
I was referring to booster, in which you sir did not participate to the best of my knowledge.
-
T2 Booster was amazing. The best part was probably me passing my double pack of apostles over to Matt and then having him ask me why I passed a card that could pay for half the draft to him. I got very worried that I had missed a card that I might want. Also drafting not one, but two ananias of damascus in hopes of getting a saul/paul passed to me, not having it happen, but then grabbing one out of TexP was great, except for the fact that I had to pass Gomer, and Spirit of temptation to do so.
-
It was such an awesome time!
Great games! I didn't think T2 booster would work, but it did and I had a great prophets deck. I finished my game 7-5-?-?. The push-up contest was great. I had such an awesome time, especially my game against the other Gabe - but I was so tired driving back after my 2 hours of sleep.

WHAT?? Haha that is so funny! That might have possibly been the first time Of One Mind's SA might have actually been used. I wish I could have seen it :D
-
I was in the earlier round of booster draft in which we didn't use TexP's... It made me sad when I saw you all get to use those in your booster draft, haha.
But I don't think I was the one who used Gabriel a lot in the booster draft. I could be wrong though; after the tournament was over I forgot what I did in the booster draft. I don't remember playing it though.
-
Do you remember whether or not you were with Lurch and CountFount during booster? I was the other person at that table. I don't remember everyone's names though...

Actually, I think the scenario was that Of One Mind was played right before a Divisions in the Church which stopped the SA, which was almost even more ironic.

Type 2 Booster Draft.
Don't know who won the games I went to bed. All I know is that I brought 4 complete sets of RoA to the tournament and they were all used up in Booster draft.
It was truly a blessing to hang out with everybody.

Yeah I was with Lurch and CountFount, so maybe it was me that was using Gabriel. I don't know, that game seems like so long ago, haha.

Care to shed some light on the decks that were seen?

I can comment on some of the games I played and some other things I noticed. That might take a couple of days depending on how much catch up I need to play tomorrow at work.
It's probably worth trying to get some comments from Captain Kirk about the differences between the upper NC and the SE metas, so I'll ask. Captain Kirk, do you think you could find some time to post some comments about the differences you saw between the upper NC and SE metas?
-
In two player, I played three defenses with Babylonians, although one of them was part of a combo deck so I don't actually know how Babylonian it was. I also played a site lock and a hand/deck discard deck. The offenses I played were four variations of a TGT offense, and one offense that I don't really remember, since I won fairly quickly and my opponent's offensive draw was very slim.
I was playing a Judges offense/Panic Demons defense. You can read my report in the thread I just posted.
T2-MP was dominated by Prophets and Babylonians, with a smattering of banding heroes on offense.

I could NOT believe my Divisions in the Church was going to be prevented! I got him back later that game with it though :P.

My thoughts:...
Best player of the tournament (sportsmanship): Brad (Techno)..Not many people can take all the ridicule I gave him for shuffling his discard pile into his deck on my ANB…..
Tracer is mean, uncontrollable and lacks the kind of respect every player should give another... ;) Next time follow my example.. ;D WWCD :police:
-
To all who missed it....This is the tournament of the year. Bill is the Host of the year. Matt is the Best Singer and giver of nicknames (Called my Son 'Spicket'. My last name is Fountain) of the year. Brad is the best 'Turn the other Cheek' Player of the year. Tracer is the Best Player to Sit Next to in a tournament. Tim Maly is the only judge I know who gets bribed and still rules against you. Lurch, Cob, Cousin It, and The Thing "I am your Father". Rawrlolsauce needs a straight jacket (Just say no to Gates of Hell).
Best memory: Lil "Matt" borrowing one of my 13 decks and in the first round, beating me with it. Bill wouldn't even give me the win and my deck won!
To all: You have earned a free pass to visit my home in KC.
God Bless All

Screw up every chance my poor royalty and philistine defense could get on him by playing A New Beginning...that's what Count would do...bah, I'm still convinced this is a better than 50% win deck, it just needed to be trimmed (126 is too large)...ah well, at least I can still dominate MD with it :P.

Someday there will rise up other T2 players in MD, then it's on. ;)

I had a great time flying to a local tournament. Bill was a great host and very generous!
T2 Booster
T2 Booster was really fun, but drafting was ridiculous (in a good and awesome way). Not only did it take a really long time, but it was interesting to figure out when to draft good and evil. Sometimes for the sake of evening up my good/evil count, I would take a card of the opposite alignment that I would not normally draft at that point in time. I played at a tough table with Jordan Alstad, Matt Brinkman, and John Earley. I knew I was in for a tough game.
John drew a Galba early. Therefore, the rest of us kept discarding cards from our hands and losing rescue attempts against him. He was the only one to draw alot of early souls. We all rescued souls fairly evenly throughout the game. I drafted a Mayhem, and got to use it both stop a rescue and win a rescue. I had to large evil characters, Four Squads of Four and the 10/11 Assyrian in territory. I had one enhancement for numbers for each of them and John had just drawn his cards. I knew he was going to attack me and I was not confident I could block him. Therefore, I played Mayhem to make him lose 5 cards after he attacked, and he didn't draw much support. I drew two gray enhancements, which were enough to block him. Then on my turn, I proceeded to attack Matt for a soul in a teal site (and I was the only guy with Teal heroes) and he had drawn no enhancements to match his evil characters. Therefore I stopped John's potentially game-winning soul and grabbed one to catch up.
The final round was ridiculous and Jordan laid it out fairly well. However, he forgot to mention that Matt played False Dreams when John attacked him against me, which would have doomed my chance to get the win. Therefore would have been little chance the other 3 would fail in consecutive attempts to win. However, I fortunately had Cov of Noah active and negated it! I went for the win with a bunch of teal stuff on my turn against Matt's shot defense.
T2 2p
I stayed up most of the night modifying my nationals decks from last year. I didn't know how effective they would be with the new cards as I had not played a game of T2 since my final game at nationals. However, I was not comfortable using a brand new deck idea and figured this would be a good time to test.

Round 1
The first game, I used a deck with 18 heroes out of 112 cards. I proceeded to draw none for 5 rounds and then Alan revealed my first hero to the bottom. Therefore, I started attacking on turn 7. At that point, Alan had played SoG, NJ, Grapes, DoN, and Burial. I had to rip a Plot to try to hold him off, but it was over before it started. 7-1
Round 2
I played Eli Riley, a newer T2 player in the 2nd round. I had switched decks to my backup deck and won 7-4. I discarded his Son of God from deck on the 3rd or 4th turn. However, both of us failed to realize he had J Tower out!
Round 3
I played Josh Brinkman and he was using one of Craig Fountain's decks. I got an early chance to discard from his deck on turn 4, but he had fortunately drawn Son of God that very turn. Therefore I settled for Darius' Decree. I won 7-2.
Round 4
I played against Jordan Alstad and knew it would be a fun game. The game was slow moving, as I expected with two defensive players such as us facing off. I got set up eventually but accidentally played a card wrong, allowing Jordan to stay in the game. By the time I got it set again (about 15 min later), the clock was almost done and I could not catch up. I had an early discard once again from deck, and instead of hitting his Son of God, I went for Samaritan Water Jar to avoid possibly getting my important cards stuck. He discarded NJ from deck bottom with Gates of Hell, so it would not have mattered in this instance, but it was an interesting gamble nonetheless. He won 4-2.
Round 5
I played against a young player named David. He was playing at his first T2 tournament. I got set up on turn 2, which was terribly unfortunate for him. He was good natured and thought the combo was really cool and kept saying he wished he could make such a deck. It was good to know I didn't frighten him with it, as has often been the case when I have played younger players in T2. He drew SoG/NJ and got a soul after attacking with Hur. 7-3 me.
Overall, I think I got 7th place or something. 10 points, +4 LS. It had been 7+ months since my last T2 game and I didn't know my deck changes very well since I made them so last minute, so I was pleased to only make one misplay when using such an unfamiliar, convoluted deck. Usually I have to know the exact contents of such to play effectively. I enjoyed played 5 rounds outside of nationals and getting some practice with decks!
T2 Multi
I fell asleep while making my deck and slept through most of the event! I knew I should go to sleep when I was so disoriented that I had put half of my copies of Spirit of Temptation with my purple TeXP cards and couldn't find them! Jordan and Nathan tried to wake me up, but apparently I told them a bunch of gibberish and "no."
NC players use more artifacts than in other regions for T2, but they don't prepare very well for site lock. I saw Prophets, Garden Tomb, Judges, and Jacob/Captain/RTC offenses. I saw demon, Babylonian, and brown/orange defenses.
-
@Kirk-Round 2 was against Eli Riley.
-
I saw demon, Babylonian, and brown/orange defenses.
Orange in MN? Surely you jest. ;)
-
What? No Romans? No Phillies? Do they even know how to play Redemption up there in MN? ;)
I really wish I was able to go but I was glad to give up my spot for Kirk to go. Im not sure how well my decks would have done but i would have enjoyed playing type II booster!

Oh there were Philistines...several ARMIES of them...

does anybody have a little purple bag with a red and a blue 30 sided die in it? I think there were some other things in it too... also, I have a small bag with a name on it...

I have it. My daughter is enjoying playing with the large 30-sided. Remind me to bring the bad and the dice the next time we meet.
Also, did someone leave a small black electric fan at my house?

It's an all or nothing deal. No bad--no dice. :)
