I am hosting a local (closed) on March 14th. It may not show up on the boards since the timing is so close to the event but I have cleared it with Rob. We will be beginning at 8:30 Here at Trenton Church of the Nazarene, 220 N. Miami St. Trenton, OH 45067

Here is a map:

http://www.trentonnazarene.org/contact-us

We will be playing type 1- 2 player and type 1 Multiplayer. We will be doing multiplayer in the morning and two player after lunch. The cost is $2 one time fee. I will be providing drinks and pizza (dominoes) so if you want anything else you will need to arrange to bring your own lunch. I will be taking up a donation collection to cover the pizza so I don't lose my shirt. Here is a general schedule of events

8:00 - Deck Check-in

8:30 - 12:30 Type-1 Multiplayer (3-4 rounds)

8:30-9:30 - Round 1
9:30-10:30 - Round 2
10:30-11:30 - Round 3
11:30-12:30 - Round 4 (if needed)

12:30-1:00 Lunch

1:00-4:45 Type-1 2 player (4-5 rounds)

1:00-1:45 Round 1
1:45-2:30 Round 2
2:30-3:15 Round 3
3:14-4:00 Round 4
4:00-4:45 Round 5 (if needed)

Schedule will be adjusted as needed depending upon attendance

It is a closed local, But I am sending out the invitation to anyone who wants to play. I told Rob that I would do the inviting since he may not have time to put it on the board. It will be an official local and you can consider you and your playgroups and anyone you can invite to come. I would like to have as many people come as possible so feel free to bring your friends and invite anyone you want.

If you can make it, please let me know so I can ballpark about how many to expect.

Hey,

My wife and I are really hoping to make it up. If not both of us then hopefully I can make it. I have a thirst to play redemption that needs to be quenched.

God Bless,

Rob M

I'm aiming for a local 3/21 and a district 4/18.

Any word on whether these tournaments are happening? I don't see them on the calander yet.

crustpope · « **Reply #354 on:** March 07, 2009, 06:51:55 PM »

Is anyone coming to my tournament that could download the RTS for me? all I get is error messages when I do it. I am so sick of dealing with it I am ready to throw my laptop off a cliff!

Hey Matt, we are coming with about five guys. One guy just started playing this week and he is really catching on quick so it should be fun for all of us coming from Crosspointe!!!

robm · « **Reply #356 on:** March 08, 2009, 02:15:30 PM »

I will be there on saturday as long as I get over this cold.

Looking forward to meeting all you Ohio players.

The Schaef · « **Reply #357 on:** March 12, 2009, 01:21:44 PM »

Sorry, thought I mentioned this openly but it must have only been in PMs.

The 3/21 is not happening, and I am throwing my support behind Matt's application for a 4/18 tournament.

robm · « **Reply #358 on:** March 12, 2009, 01:41:29 PM »

It's ok, looking forward to the tournaments that Matt will be having.

Any word on where and when you guys are having Ohio States?

crustpope · « **Reply #359 on:** March 12, 2009, 02:30:30 PM »

Not yet, we will talk about it this weekend When I have most of the big players in Ohio together. We will coordinate with you as well when we talk about the state tournament

TechnoEthicist · « **Reply #360 on:** March 12, 2009, 03:36:23 PM »

Hmm...June...Weekend 1- Moving bulk of stuff from apartment, weekend 2- moving day/graduation, weekend 3-wedding, weekend 4- not in Ohio...guess I'm not included in that discussion

May doesn't look pretty either...

How about a July Regional? Your honeymoon is not going to be more than a month, is it? (although congrats if you're lucky enough for that!) I think we'd have a decent shot at getting it and it'd be great for all those that can't make it out to Cali. I know some people are interested but it would help if we coordinate and get support for it.

crustpope · « **Reply #362 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:06:45 PM »

Thanks to all who came to my Local! I really appreciate it

Type 1 - 2 Player

1st place - Rod Stewart
2nd place - Matt Archibald

Type 1 - Multiplayer

1st place - Matt Archibald
2nd place - (tie) Rob Mulye and Travis Brown

I have several favorite memories from this tournament.

- Travis and his never ending decks (we let everyone check in as many decks as they wanted and Travis checked in 5...and counting)
- using Travis's Garden Tomb against him

(I still haven't been beaten by a Garden Tomb Deck ... But I can say it is fun beating someone with one!)
- Rob and Travis both looking like I shot their dog when I said "you have 10 minutes left" (each of them had a look that was somewhere between shock and terror because they each had brutalized each other with their decks and had one LS rescued apiece...Then ended in a 3-3 time out tie
- Me using Caleb's huge egyptian to discard more cards from his deck than he did from mine by banding him in with Lying spirit. It took him 5 turns of that until he finally just killed his own EC to keep me from dragging it in against him
- Rod's genesis/emperor deck that constantly made me discard a card from hand on both offense and defense for what seemed like four straight turns. There were at least three or four times that I had no cards in hand. and when I got Zeb, he threw up CoM to ice the cake...it was the only game I lost and it was because my SoG was playing hide and seek from me.)
- Surviving (barely) Travis's A-bom deck. A-bom was loose in my territory and I had to use HT to get one of my green prophets to play seach for my SoG to save me from the Abomination. It was getting close there at the end.
- Wasabi covered peas...don't knock it until you try it. I'm sorry Travis for mocking you...got any left?
- "Caleb you are cut off of the Mt. Dew!"

Good times all. See you soon at District!

uthminister [BR] · « **Reply #363 on:** March 14, 2009, 11:26:53 PM »

My favorite memory in addition to all the one's already mentioned had to be using Rob M's own Greek in a side battle to put Abom in his territory...that was brutal. I was really glad to meet Rob M and see some faces I have not seen enough lately. Caleb continues to do the impossible and turn Mountain Dew into rescued souls...how does he do it? Rod Stewart and Matt Archibald are continuing to make things competitive here is Southwest Ohio. Oh, and watch a new up and coming player in our playgroup...you may call him "awesome"!

robm · « **Reply #364 on:** March 15, 2009, 09:45:13 PM »

I had a great time meeting and play you all at the tournament. Having my own Greek character used against me for the A-bomb was a great moment at the tournament. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon at the next tourney. It was nice just to be able to place 2nd in such a competitive group. If only I had a guardian to protect my lost souls...

It was also nice to be able to play some decks that I hadn't tried out yet, even if there were less than successful.

God Bless and see y'all (living in KY has got me using words i've never used before) soon.

Hey Everybody,

April is looking like a fine month for redemption in Ohio.

Matt is hosting a district on the 18, and I will be hosting a local on the 25. Right now the tournament page on the web site reflects an error on my part, I gave cactus the wrong date, But I have spoken with them and we got the tournament rescheduled for the 25 Like originaly planned, sorry matt.

My tournament on April 25 will have 3 categories T1 2 player, T2 2player and T1 multiplayer. All categories are free and we will take up a colection for lunch or just go to subway.

I am planning on running T1 2p first and then depending on the turnout T2 2p and T1 multi at the same time.
Deck check in is at 8:30 a.m. and we start playing at 9:00 a.m.

When confirm what room we will be playing in, I will post some directions on how to get around on the campus. Untill then I hope you plan on attending.

Sadly, July is just as crazy. Back from the honeymoon the first weekend of July, move to MD apartment the second weekend, Ohio open house for those who couldn't make the wedding the third weekend, and then I am officially no longer an Ohioan

And on top of that, May will be looking good as well. I believe Jonathan and Jacob will be having at least one more district in May and I will be submitting a State Application for late May, Likely May 22nd-23rd. I know it is Memorial Day Weekend but you still have Sunday and Monday to play with Family. Give me Friday Night and Saturday and I promise you wont regret it!

robm · « **Reply #368 on:** March 18, 2009, 09:34:09 PM »

Yay for redemption tournaments!

I will definetly be at your States if it is May 22nd and 23rd. I also look forward to your district on the 18th of April. Sadly I will miss jacob's local because I will be on a youth retreat! I hope to meet some more of you Ohio players at that District.

I plan on Sending in for my district tomorrow. It will be in Nicholasville/Wilmore on May 1st and 2nd. Hope ya'll can plan on coming down for it.

Now THAT I could make

, at least I think I could come Memorial day weekend

crustpope · « **Reply #370 on:** March 19, 2009, 12:16:11 AM »

OoOoOoOoOhhh! are we gonna have a type II throwdown? I can see it now, Rod, Pequinot, you and me duking it out for the Type II title! that is assuming the Force from the North doesnt come and ruin our day!

robm · « **Reply #371 on:** March 19, 2009, 07:44:44 AM »

Don't underestimate the underdogs.

Jacob_stroh · « **Reply #372 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:12:07 PM »

I can and will confirm the rumor that I am planning to host a district in may. The olny question is when? It seems that the olny days open to do it is the 9th or the 30th. Jonathan will be out of town on the 16. I dont know about you guys but 4 tournaments in 4 weeks might be too much for some lightweights(just kidding).

April 18, 25, May 1-2, 9 what a four weekends that would be. With that in mind the 30th might just be a better date. I hope for a little input from you guys on this matter.

At this moment I am planning to make your tournament Rob. Do you have any information on when you guys in Kentucky will have your states?

crustpope · « **Reply #373 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:15:06 PM »

Either is fine with me. I would probably be able to make them alll.

By the way..there is a rumor that someone in Ohio is putting in for the regionals... Could be a good year for Ohio/Kentucky redemption

robm · « **Reply #374 on:** March 19, 2009, 01:20:59 PM »

I won't be able to come if you have a district on the 30th of May, because I will be in NY, so I vote for the 9th! Four weekends of Redemption!

Mark and I are communicating about having KY States sometime in June. Most likely either the 19-20th or 26-27th. Any input is welcomed.
