We will be having an Ironman Tournament ongoing both Friday and Saturday. Winner will receive prizes. We will also have a type S tournament during lunch.
Besides normal prizes for a local tournament; 1, 2 & 3rd place winners of Type 2-2 player and Type-2 Multiplayer will get a chance to win a complete set of Disciples cards. 1st place in each category will get three chances, 2nd place two chances and 3rd place one chance.

Any questions contact Bill Voigt (everytribe)
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Outside of Nationals, this is THE BIGGEST tournament of the year. I'm glad to see that you're putting it back on again. Keep up the good work :)
-
Looking forward to this!
-
I always look forward to "Wild Bill's" tournaments, especially this annual extravaganza!!! :) :) :)
Lord willing I'll be there again this year.
-
I should be there. Unfortunately, I still haven't made a decent T2 deck since Disciples. And my Golgotha combo idea was neutered.
-
I should be there assuming no more basketball tournaments.
-
I always look forward to "Wild Bill's" tournaments, especially this annual extravaganza!!! :) :) :)
Lord willing I'll be there again this year.
Looks like it will be an extravaganza this year. The "Georgia Boys" already expressed an intrest in coming. And the Guardian should be able to play this year. Its going to be hard to retain your title this year Gabe.

What Georgia guys are coming? Clift, Tyler, Eric? Also what airport is the best to fly into?
-

Don't know for sure yet, but Tyler and Eric are checking in to it.
The Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) Airport is about 15-20 miles from the tournament location, and there should be people from the area available to give you a ride from the airport to the tournament.
-
Can't wait! Any chance we can get T2 Sealed going this year, instead of/in addition to T2 Booster?

What about type two teams with no time limits!?!
-
I vote for type 2 sealed deck. 2 of the same starter decks with six packs.
Booster draft took awhile to draft and don't know if type 2 teams would work very well, it might take all night to win one game.
-
I really enjoyed the T2 booster draft. Had we not started at midnight it would have been much more worth while.
Looks like it will be an extravaganza this year. The "Georgia Boys" already expressed an intrest in coming. And the Guardian should be able to play this year. Its going to be hard to retain your title this year Gabe.
I don't think anyone is lucky enough to win an event like this three years in a row. :) I plan to have lots of fun and fellowship. I also always learn a lot about T2 every time to play the MN crowd or the guys from GA so I'll look forward to that too!
-
You may count on my being there and probably Britta for half of the first half and after that and probably overnight for us both on Friday. My vote=T2 sealed.
I vote for type 2 sealed deck. 2 of the same starter decks with six packs.
I hope this means that we get to have two sets of Doms.
-
I'll be there. Eric should be there too.
-
I'll be there. Eric should be there too.
what kind of prices are you finding on flights?
-
I vote for type 2 sealed deck. 2 of the same starter decks with six packs.
I would vote for this also, but use one FoOF -or- RoA tin in place of the packs.
We would also need to come up with a fixed handful of evil cards that would be distributed along with the starter decks, because Good =/= Evil in the starters.
Booster draft took awhile to draft and don't know if type 2 teams would work very well, it might take all night to win one game.
I agree. The drafting part of booster was fun, but by the time we were done most people were only interested in playing one game and then calling it a night. I also have the same concerns as Wild Bill about a T2-TEAMS event. If there are four players who would like to get together and play test to see how long such a game might last, that would be interesting.
-
I think T2 Teams could work, but there would need to be some rule modifications from both regular Teams and regular T2 in order for it to finish in a reasonable amount of time.
-
I'll be there. Eric should be there too.
what kind of prices are you finding on flights?
so far the cheapest ive found is 208.00 roundtrip from ATL to MSP via AirTran.
-
Yeah thats about what I have seen. Just wasn't sure if the prices will drop or rise. I know tyler bought his ticket to natz last year right before the price dropped if I remember correctly. I can take a greyhound for free, but that only takes 25 hours.
-
PM'd you Bill.
-
Any Wisconsin players coming?
-
Any Wisconsin players coming?
Hopefully they will bring some cheese!
-
It appears to be likely that I will attend.
-

You better attend. I always pair you up with a tough out of state player in the first round and you come thru with the win. Your sort of our type 2 RLK except your not random and your not a little kid.
-
I'm going to be bringing a new combo deck.
-
Is it the one you and Alex thought of? If so I might be bringing that too, lol. Have the offense on paper so far.
-
I'm going to be bringing a new combo deck.
Whatsa combo deck?? Does that mean your playing with a little bit of orange splashed in??
-
No, it means all my cards have to do with food.
-
Pre tournament tip. Be ready to counter a red offence.
-
My characterless deck is ready to take on red.
-
My characterless deck is ready to take on red.
Madness and Doubt ftw.
-
I owned him with my characterless at States last year.
Writ captures a hero. I block with Madness, play Love of Money and Troops Discharged. His Goliath fights his Ashpanez (I control Ashpanez), converting the captured hero. Flip over Grail and make 5 rescues.
-
Another option would be to use Idle Gossip via Love of Money. Force his White hero to fight (you control the White hero) and use Warriors Redemption to take control of the captured hero.
-
So what do you do against pure angels/demons?
-
Well, characterless is so leet, it'll be at the top table with good decks. They'll never play each other. ;)
Seriously, I don't think angels/demons will ever work. I've seen many who've tried and failed. T2, maybe.
-
Even if someone doesn't use straight angels/demons, there's still a possibility that you will never get to use UW. What then?
-
That's when the real magic happens... ::)
-
I'm going to be bringing a new combo deck.
I hope to hear about COMBO COMBO COMBO COMBO MONGO:

-
Madness. Love of Money. Gold Shield to convert to white. Snare. Idle Gossip. Redemption.
-
Madness. Love of Money. Gold Shield to convert to white. Snare. Idle Gossip. Redemption.
It's all coming together...Red decks don't stand a chance. ::)
-
Redemption may have to change its stance on the "no ban" policy after all.
-
It breaks the character of the game. Better make a rule that you have to have a character in your deck.
Redemption banning Redemption would be ironic.

Redemption banning Redemption would be ironic.
But then only outlaws would play Redemption

If you're worried about that, you're missing the bigger picture.

I'm not missing the bigger picture. However, I am still wondering whether or not you are joking about this deck. Sometimes I can't tell.
-
Rawrlolsauce would never joke. He is always about srsbsns.
-
There are a few more common problems I might find, like "What if my opponent plays characterless?", "What if they don't let me deck out before they attack me", or "What if they don't give me 5 free rescues?"
-
Well so far it looks like Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Georgia will join Minnesota for some Type 2 fun.

Any word from Canada? A little international action would be schweet.
-
Barring the fact no more Minnesota weather hits us here in Kansas City, we should have at least 4 from Missery.
-
Plane booked. I'm ready to rumble.
-
Any word on a special event for Friday night?
-
Sealed is yucky. Booster is okay but we did that last year. The only option left is teams.
-
TEAMS would be pwnage.
-
I'm playing the lottery twice as often just in case. ;)
-

Last week in February it should be 50 degrees and sunny, bring your shorts.
Any word on a special event for Friday night?
Probably do Sealed, won't know if it is yuky until we try it. Probably do teams also. Then we have played every style in Type 2. Matts working on the rules.
-

Don't be expecting to win, we treated last years flyin boy's pretty rough.

He's got beginners luck, Bill. :) He's new to T2 and beat my deck from last year the other night in our first game.
-
I don't want to win. If I win, I will be embarassed for you guys, losing to a newbie :). I just want to have a good time.

good time? GOOD TIME? GOOD TIME?! This isn't a game for newbie's who need their MAMA to wipe their chin and change their undies. THIS IS LOCAL TYPE 2 MINNESOTA!! Women and their children should just stay in the corn fields of Iowa.
;D
-
Listen Habib, don't make me call my wife again....I got your number! ;D ::)
-
Listen Habib, don't make me call my wife again....I got your number! ;D ::)
For TechnoEthicist's eyes only. GABE STOP LOOKING!
PSSST. Techno, between me and you. The only reason I want them to stay at home is I already lose enough without losing to women as well. Shhh don't tell anyone. ;)
-
TEAMS would be pwnage.
Ring Wraith, you and Rawrlolsauce! should feel free to suggest T(2)EAMs rules that you feel would somehow provide a possibility of a round ending in less than four hours. I can't see it, but all y'all are more imaginative than I am.
I don't want to win. ... I just want to have a good time.
Huh? That just does not compute... The spirit of Type 2 was best described in the 1982 documentary Conan the Barbarian.
What is best in Type 2?
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
And loser gets a tat!
(I may have misremembered the dialog a bit.)
-
Make everyone copy our epic idea to draw uberly fast.
On second thought that is a good point. Maybe instead of 50:50 we could change the ratio to 100:0.
Also, I wasn't trying to diss sealed. It is still going to be an epic event :-*
-

Just to be clear--my response to you and the Wraith about T(2)EAMS was on the up and up. I think T(2)EAMS could be epic, but I cannot figure out how to make it feasible timewise.
-
Public announcement:
We are now extending the tournement for about a week or two to include T(2)EAMS and T2ooster.
-
Two weeks to get two rounds in.

Who says it has to be feasible? Can't we just play for as long as it takes?
-
Agreed. I'll sign up if it takes me all night to play one game.

OK, you and the hobbit are deputized to organize/run the Friday for-fun event.

is there anyone going to be passing through Eau Claire, WI by chance?? ::)

Working on a T2EAMS category over here (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=25479.msg401350;topicseen#new). How many people are interested?

Make it at least one.
-
I should rephrase that. How many would be interested AFTER sealed is completed?
-
I'm waiting on Matt. When does sealed expect to finish? As long as I'm finished with everything before 3AM I won't complain much :-*
-
Question:
Will there be video game systems there like last time?
I want to pwn every single person on the face of the Earth in Mario Kart Wii.
-
I'm waiting on Matt. When does sealed expect to finish? As long as I'm finished with everything before 3AM I won't complain much :-*
That depends on two things...
1) The number of players who are interested in joining in in a T2 Sealed tournament.
2) The starting time which will be based on the arrival time of the players.
So, opening this up to the group of players who are planning on attending the (Fifth?!?--can that possibly be correct?) Annual MN Type 2 Only Blowout...
1) Would you be interested in playing in a Type 2 Sealed event for $15*?
2) What time are you planning on arriving at the tournament on Friday evening?
*$15 would get you either 2 G or 2 H decks, a smattering of evil commons/uncommons to balance the starting numbers, and your choice of a FoOF or RoA tin under discussion with Wild Bill.
-
I'd do T2 sealed and I have no clue when I can come. (Basketball Playoffs)
-
Playoffs??? The Sound Byte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3-eavMSBnk#)
-
Playoffs??? The Sound Byte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3-eavMSBnk#)
Yeah. #4 seed in the entire league!
-
I would very much like to do T2 sealed, especially if I have the option of returning the cards for a refund after the event.
I can come on Friday evening as early as right after dinner, which will probably mean like a 7:00-7:30pm arrival.
-
Its warming up for the tournament. 48 and sunny today in MN.
-
1. I'll be there.
2. ^ @ 6:00
Just out of curiosity, Matt. Do we get to choose which tin we want, or do we just get to choose which set it's from? Because if people got to choose their tin, you'd probably better stock up on tins 18 and 19. Those will be by far the most popular.

My original idea was to let people give me one choice of tin for each deck (G or H), and I would stock up on the tins requested. After e-mail from Wild Bill, I am rethinking this plan, however. Give me a couple of days and I will have something more definitive.

If that were the case, I'd vote we try to include E/F if possible for more variety.

I like the idea of more variety.
The two Real Elders/True Proffessors that reside in the Twin Cities are putting their combined wisdom together (we can't do it in person because we would be too tempting a target for Al-Qaeda) and I think you will like format for Sealed-Type 2.

Bill,
Just to confirm, we are using Warriors for Type S, correct?
Rumor had it you found a box of them...

Bill,

Rumor had it you found a box of them...
Yeah I found the box in my garage. I got it from Matt three years ago. I also found a box of Womens which we will throw in for sealed deck. So everybody will get one Womens pack for sealed along with the rest. You think my trunk has alot of redemption stuff in it, my garage is really loaded.

No problem as long as you can get along with my two guard dogs. I probably won't be feeding them till after the tournament. I had to get them because when I was gone, the Hobbit would sometime open a box of packs just to get a couple cards he needed for a new deck.
-
Hey,
So, opening this up to the group of players who are planning on attending the (Fifth?!?--can that possibly be correct?) Annual MN Type 2 Only Blowout...
I believe this is the 7th year of the tournament. I know it's at least the 6th, becuase I've attended 4 and wasn't able to make it to the first one. I think it was mentioned at one point that Justin won the first two, I won the next two, and Gabe won the last two, which would make this year's the 7th Annual MN Type 2 Only Blowout.
Tschow,

And that it's someone else's turn to win :)

I'll have to dig into the archives and verify how many we had. This could be the 7th. But I do know that this will be the toughest. With all three of our past winners in attendance, 2 or 3 flyins, Banys thinking of playing, the Austin-Rochester gang, the KC gang, and don't look past the proffessor or the hobbit. Now all we need is Gabe to bring Kevin, Ron Sias to show up on a business trip and Brian to show up with his son pretending he has a Math conference in the twin cities.
-
Can someone who's going bring a computer? I need to have a steady flow of info if I want to cover it. Wild Bill gave me the a-ok.

1) Players will be allowed to bring up to 7 additional Lost Souls with no SA to the game.
2) A Player and his opponent will be given the option of playing either E&F decks or G&H decks
3) Once we know which pair of decks will be used by the two players, each player will be given the opportunity to choose 6 booster packs.
a. Packs available will include all currently available packs from Unlimited through Priests.
b. No more than three of any one type of pack can be selected.
4) In addition to the six booster packs each player will be allowed to choose 1 Women, 1 TexP and 1 Disciples pack.
5) Once the players have received their 9 (did he say 9?!?) booster packs, the host will randomly choose one of E/F or G/H (depending on choice in step 1) for each player.
6) Each player will receive two copies of their randomly selected deck. (Say two G decks)
a. The duplicate Good Dominants must be removed, so each player will have one SoG and on AotL
b. The duplicate Evil Dominants must be exchanged between opponents, so each player will have one CM and one Burial
7) The players will have up to 1 hour to open packs, trade with their opponent, and build their deck.
8) Standard T2 2-Player deck building and play rules will be enforced.
-
Cost:
The cost for T2 Sealed will be $20 per player. This will get you duplicate starter decks, six boosters packs of choice (no more than three of any one type), 1 Womens, 1 TexP, and 1 Disciples.
If at the end of the tournament a player and his original partner choose to return their two copies of the starter decks in "good shape" they will each be issued a refund of $10.
Long story short: $10 if you return your starter decks/$20 if you decide to keep them.
Schedule:
The first games will start (meaning choosing packs, etc.) no earlier than 6:00 pm.
We plan to do a rolling start for this event.
a. As a pair of players are available we will have them start
b. We will match up winners against winners as soon as two games complete.
I ask that players who join the tournament be willing to commit to playing two games.

And what additional cards can the over 40 crowd bring? HMMMMM?

Would I be able to use Redemption cash to pay for at least part of this event?
-
Is there wifi at the church?
-
Would I be able to use Redemption cash to pay for at least part of this event?
You could use it to pay the security deposit on the starter decks you will return to Bill at the end. Other than that, probably not. :(
The problem here is that players will be getting $30 or so of product (depending on how you value Womens) for $10 assuming they return the starters at the end.
Is there wifi at the church?
Ever since we have been playing there, the church has locked down the wifi so it is not publicly accessible. Unless you hear otherwise you should assume the answer to this is "No."
-
I can't wait for this event. My plane touches down at 6:15, so hopefully there will not be any delays and I can quickly get into this Sealed Deck action!
-
Is there wifi at the church?
Ever since we have been playing there, the church has locked down the wifi so it is not publicly accessible. Unless you hear otherwise you should assume the answer to this is "No."
They don't lock it intentionally. In certain areas of the building you can get public wifi such as by door B, but over where we would play is locked.
-
By the way, how many people are flying in and who will be transporting them to the tournament?
-
Is there wifi at the church?
I might be able to check out a laptop from the church which would have access. I'll check into it. The M is right about access in certian parts of the building.
By the way, how many people are flying in and who will be transporting them to the tournament?
I think 2. One has a confirmed flight and I have not got flight information from the other. I will pick them up or anybody else that volunteers. Anybody who volunteers gets free sealed deck, as that would save me time and gas money.
-
My brother and his friend are wondering if they could come but neither of them have a T2.
Could they:
A Borrow T2's and play in the day.
B Spend the night goofing off.
C Spend the night and then play an unofficial T1.
D Come Saturday and play unofficial T1.
E Do Sealed and keep that T2.
Are any of these off limits?
-
My Boy Jacob is flying in from Oklahoma (for you who are North of Missouri that would be known in the Bible as the Garden of Eden) but arrives at 10:45 p.m. by plane. The rest of us from Missouri are planning on arriving around 7 p.m. if we get through the cornfields safely (for you who are North of Missouri that would be Eeo-AH).
I will have 16 type 2 decks with me if one would like to borrow. However, it would be nice if this year whoever borrows my deck would not beat me with it. That is embarrassing.
-

Not to mention that the picker-upper would get an interesting partner for sealed, because the picker-upper and the picker-upee would enter the tournament at the same time.

Could they:
A Borrow T2's and play in the day.
Yes. See CountFount's post above.
B Spend the night goofing off.
Yes. Provided they do not make you drive them home and have you miss the tournament the next day. (Ask Bubble Boy about that.)
C Spend the night and then play an unofficial T1.
Yes. Provided it is OK with their parents.
D Come Saturday and play unofficial T1.
Yes. Wild Bill usually has a T1 Iron Man tournament running on Saturday.
E Do Sealed and keep that T2.
Yes. To be honest those decks have a good shot at being better than anything CountFount brings. (Ka-zing)
Are any of these off limits?
No.
I would really like to put in a plug for either option A or E. If we get 33 players or more (and we are going to be close), Wild Bill will be forced to host six rounds. No T2 tournament outside of Nationals has ever required six rounds.
I would really like to see this year be the year we earn the motto-- "MN T2 Only Blowout: Six rounds because we had to."
-
Man I wish I could come... I may be able to cover it yet. BTW T2 sealed doesn't need 6 booster a tin a Di AND a TEXP.(Or is that because good is more than evil in the starters?)

Ouch! And I have taught so many how not to build a deck.
-
By the way, how many people are flying in and who will be transporting them to the tournament?
I think 2. One has a confirmed flight and I have not got flight information from the other. I will pick them up or anybody else that volunteers. Anybody who volunteers gets free sealed deck, as that would save me time and gas money.
I volunteer!
Besides, I'm not sure if Bill should be trusted with transporting living people.
-
My brother and his friend are wondering if they could come but neither of them have a T2.
Could they:
A Borrow T2's and play in the day.
B Spend the night goofing off.
C Spend the night and then play an unofficial T1.
D Come Saturday and play unofficial T1.
E Do Sealed and keep that T2.
Don't forget:

After further review, we decided not to offer the tins for Sealed--which is why we switched to packs and added a Disciples and a TexP pack. Wild Bill then threw in a Women pack because he needed to clear out some space in his garage. hat should give folks about 200 cards to build a deck from. FWIW, we also wish you could come.
And I have taught so many how not to build a deck.
You are an inspiration to us all. :bump: <== represents our patented manly "chest" bump

Goodly. Will there be video games for the people who try to pull allnighters?
I might be able to bring my Wii for Mario Kart.
-
I would bring my Wii, but last year I lost a mote...
-
I don't want to give away anybody's deck (<cough> Hobbit), but if anyone could lend me three Esther promos for my deck I would appreciate it.

I don't get it. Esther Hates Hobbits? She is a dark rider?

Lol.
I was wondering if anybody was going to splash a few of those in this year.

Something like that.
BTW, I have the three copies of Jacob's Ladders you wanted for your deck.

is there anyone at all that will be passing through Eau Claire, WI that could pick me up???
-

I don't think I've heard of any Wisconsinites coming (which is probably for the best...just kidding). And everyone coming from out East is flying. So it seems unlikely. But if you leave by tomorrow, you should have no trouble getting here on foot; Eau Claire is only about 90 miles away...
Otherwise, if there is any chance you could find a way to get here, you would be treated to some decent Minnesotan hospitality.
On another note, I have two beds (and possibly a couch spot) open at my place for Saturday night. So if you're leaving on Sunday and need a place to stay, let me know.
-
I almost want to offer you a ride, but I don't think it's worth the time and gas money for one person...
-

-

If you can find someone to get you back to Eau Claire after the tournament, I could probably be persuaded to come and pick you up on Friday (depending on weather and the time you would be available for pick up).
-
Do we have a time for Sealed to start?

We will be doing a rolling start* that will beginning no earlier than 6:00 pm.

If we are starting at 6:00, could we come in a little bit earlier to help set up and sign in?

Sure, my dad could always use some help setting up. He is going to be there at 2 or so, so any time after that you are welcome to come.
-
HUZZAH!
My basketball playoff game is scheduled for Thursday so I can be there the whole time!
I may come early.

Sounds good. What time does your flight leave on Sunday morning? I live about 20 minutes from the airport, and would be fine giving you a ride there (Unless it's like 4 AM...in which case I'll give you the number to a local cab company... ;)).
Anyway, I have up to two more spots available. I would say that I'll restrict it to guys, but since the only female likely to show up to the tournament still lives with my parents, that's probably not necessary...
-
My flight is at 3:30pm I believe.
-

That would be sweet. Let me ask around, and see if I can find someone. This would be my first T2 tournament/game ever....
-
So far I haven't had much luck. I scoured the ride board to find nothing... I'll keep looking, but I'm doubtful. It's ok if i miss it though, being my first T2 ever, I don't have the slightest chance of winning :P
-
That's the fun of it!
You don't need to be worried.
Just have fun and get tips from the pros.
-
there is also the problem of Gas money.... since I don't know anyone going from around here, or even going to the area, I would be paying a drive round-trip twice.... 90*2*2=360 miles / 20mpg=18gal * $3.50= $63 !!!
-
Bill has been known to assist out of state attendees with their expenses.
Only one or two people are going to win the two events. All the rest of us need to enjoy the fellowship and have fun without winning the whole thing. :) There are lots of awesome people to hang out with and a few that might make you raise an eyebrow (you know who you are!). ;) I walk away each year feeling full and having learned a lot more about T2. It's a great place to jump into the T2 waters if you want to get up to speed on the format quickly! ;D

You're right. I guess I'm more worried with my ability to compete in T2 at all... :P
(T2)x(nick)x(terrible deck building)^2=(uh-oh)x(sad face)
-
I would be more than willing to spend the time to pick you up, but I would need help with gas money. Also, I am picking up Alex from the airport, so I would need to plan to get back by 6:00, and that might be a problem because my school doesn't end until after 3:00. I might be able to leave just a smidgeon early, but exactly how long does it take to get from Minneapolis to Eau Claire?
-

Hmmm, must be Matt or Bill he is talking about.. Note to self don't hang out with Matt or Bill. Gabe thinks they smell funny.

Two years ago was my first T2 game and tournament. I got third place, won a set of RoA, and beat Tim Maly. It was a good day :-*

If it ends up making a difference (and you hitch a ride to the tourney with me), you could halve that.
As this is your first T2 tournament you would want to do everything you could to be seated with Rawrlolsauce! and I in multi-player. There are so many complicated rules that the other folks just don't understand.
-
But I don't have KOT in my new deck >:(.
Edit: Why the second round trip? Just stay at the church. That halves it.

Google said the address was
North Heights Lutheran Church

I'm confused. Is this correct?

The tricky part is finding someone I can count on to get me back. I know 2 people with cars in Eau Claire, and neither of them are reliable. Wouldn't turn out well, if I were stuck there..... "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" all over again
-
I am sure you could catch a bus.
-
I am sure you could catch a bus.
hmm, good call. Not sure how much it costs though... never ridden a greyhound really

Yeah, a bus is a good idea. I could easily pick you up from a bus stop anyplace between my home, the airport, and Arden Hills.
-

I know. I had to take my KOT out to make room for my fifth Que also.

I'll be at the church at 2:00 to set up. I might be taking a trip to the grocery store. Give me a call when you get close. I have all the cards for your new deck. ($50 for anybody to get a deck list)

Hey, that's not a nice thing to say about Sauce! >:(

Sauce may be random but he's not little!

I will not be able to make it. Lack of money for bus, a teacher dropped a huge assignment on me for the weekend, and I need to help with Intervarsity stuff
Have fun you guys!!!

Do we have a time for Sealed to start?
We will be doing a rolling start* that will beginning no earlier than 6:00 pm.
There's a strong possibility we (5 of us) can't get there until 7, as Chris Bany is now carpooling with us. Will we get there in time? I'm really not sure who of our group is playing sealed though. I am, and dad is. I'm going to guess Sauce is, and I don't know about Bany. My cousin probably won't.
-
Sad News.
I will most likely not be in attendence. I had planned on coming, but with the Gas Price spike, and being called in to work tomorrow morning for a few hours it's simply not plausible anymore.... :(
Sorry all.
-
Yes, I -1'd that. Boo for no RDT. :( You'll be missed.

You will be there in plenty of time. Some will start at 6:00, KC is getting there at 8:00 (which means 7:00, Craig drives fast), Gabe is rolling in at 12:00.

We will be doing a rolling start. Whenever you get here, you can begin (possibly plus a minus a few so you don;t end up playing each other).
I picked up the items to make the first place prize today. I am going to try and put t together tomorrow.

I heard there is a racquet ball count at the church; is that true?

Scratch that. My cousin ended up having to work this weekend, and will not be going. We'll still be there at 6:30-7ish.

that was supposed to be court, not count.

Lesson of Round 1: don't mess with the Host. Host pairs me with Gabe Is'a man playing with Boy's'. I'm dead...right? Well, I get a free be 1-0. He makes it 1-0 his and plays FA. He does me a favor. Lays Down Garden Tomb. I am holding Mary and I draw SoG/NG. 3-1 mine. I rescue 2 more with his GT and my women. He has my Philly Defense tied down with his Naz. I rescue one more time making 6-3. And comeback commenced. My last memorable play was a Samaritan water jar that set aside his NJ. Final score... 7-6 Gabe. Wished Mr Hiatus was here to show me how I played his deck wrong. But hats off to Gabe for bring Classy enough to point out to me when I could of used one of my sites for access for a free one instead of protecting a soul. Narf! :p
-
My life took a crazy turn past couple weeks. Some family stuff and then promotion at work. My time off was submitted and approved but my manager said I might have an interview and to hold off on the ticket. He told me 10 days before the tournament that there wasn't an interview until late March and that I could go. By then ticket prices had skyrocketed and I simply can't do that much money for a single weekend. I haven't even been able to get online to let everyone know. I hope it went well and I'll check the reports to see the decks/outcome and my hat off to Bill for trying so hard to get me to come out and my hat off to the top 3.

This is going to sound stupid, but was a computer mouse (fairly small, usb plug in, missing its back) found at the church?
-
Could have been. Proffessor left his power cord on the front table and I thought it was the churches so I put it in the computer bag. I don't think there was a mouse but ask the proffessor since he probably retrieved his cord by now. I'll check next time I get to the church.
Don't feel bad Sir Nobody left three huge binders full of cards once.
