As for Nats in Rochester, PLEASE wait a couple more years.  I just found out my daughter has decided to attend RIT in Rochester.  In fact, I vote Nats in Rochester from 2013-2016. 

Why not Roberts?  What's her major?

I think the last part was sarcastic, we're all aware that Florida least has a fairly large play group, a couple of them infact. He was disputing YMT saying that if a region doesn't get a Nats the play groups will die by sarcastically pointing out that those states have active playgroups despite not having had nats in their region in awhile

Well it was in bad taste and ill-timed.

I apologize if you took offense, but I'm not really sure why that would upset you at all. It's well-known that Florida has a few thriving playgroups, despite being relatively isolated from the rest of the Redemption community because they never make it to Nats, leading to an unorthodox meta in at least one of the playgroups. YMT is one of the most prominent members on the forum, and Knot a Blonde (along with yourself, apparently) both also tend to post a lot. I'm not sure why this is, but Florida players seem to jump to the defense of their state at the slightest provocation, and I've never figured out why that is. California has at least one large playgroup, and it includes the member that many people would call the foremost authority on Redemption (Bryon). So again, I apologize, but don't be so quick to needlessly defend FL in the future; nobody actually looks down on you guys at all.

1.  Looks at post count.

2.  I never understood why a Mouse was chosen as Mayor of our State Capitol. 

I have followed all the discussions on location and want to throw in my 2and 1/2 cents. Rebeccah and I had the real pleasure of having Chris and Hiatus in our car for the trip to MN Nationals last year. They clearly wanted to present a compelling bid for Knoxville and discussed it alot on the way. They are truly quality guys who are very real and sincere advocates for the game and its growth/message. R. and I are positive they would do everything possible to make it a successful tournament which includes strong consideration for comfort, access, price and Christian fellowship. What more do we require! R. and I will attend wherever it is as she wants to try to defend her Sealed Deck title from MN Nats. but would consider it even more enjoyable to beat Chris and Hiatus on their "own" turf. We both vote for TN. PS: And I have no problem continuing to be an easy win for the MN/NY contingents. Allen

all this talk about no showers...simple solution....Baby wipes!

I'll vouch for that. Baby wipes got me though a spell of no power.

When Rob makes a final announcement, which is entirely on his schedule.

How many locations have sent in bids?

Very true, although not as comfortable as it may seem... it gets the job done.

Whoa! Where did you guys come from? I haven't heard from you guys in a while. You used to call me all the time for ruling help. Did you get to a point where you no longer need my help, or just realize that I have no idea what I am talking about? 

probably dozens but it's pretty much been narrowed down to 2-3 right now with Tennessee almost guaranteed to get it at this point.

There are never any guarantees until the official announcement, but even then it's not a guarantee if your last name is Favre.

Hey Tim! Yeah most of our group had other priorities. Two guys moved away, one for college, another for a job. One fellow got married and just reverted back to his War Hammer hobby.  Our tournament attendance kept shrinking so we decided to stop hosting tournaments until interest built up.  Better news, over the weekend four of us actually met with two guys from Fort Myers in Clewiston, FL. It went very well, we promoted your group and your wisdom & charm, lol.  They're interested in meeting up again and even trying to make States if it comes around. *hint hint    We also managed to teach 3 people at the McDonald's we met at and give them starters. Did you know there was a small play group in Ft. Myers?  They've been playing for years, longer than we have.  Honestly, I think the trip is what the group needed.  It's created a spark in all of us again, the mini road trip was well worth it.  They learned a few things too.

Ahhh, the downs and ups of leading a playgroup.  I've been there too, and I'm glad to say that if you stick with it, things will come back around.  I've missed seeing you guys on the forum for the last 6 months, and hope that this new spark will last and that we'll see much more of you in the next 6 months.  Your heart for using this game for ministry is an inspiration, keep up the good work.

It died down because I stopped playing so much.    And what do you know, I start playing again and interest picks up!  It's a conspiracy I say!  I might even be convinced to travel to Nationals... but it's too soon to tell.

At this Nats we should shave Gabe instead of Tim.

But then he'll lose his power!  We need him to trump RLKs so we don't have to.

So he will be like Sampson?
