- Dinner: Leftovers from lunch, and basically any place you would want to eat (except Olive Garden) within a couple miles of the church.
*Note: The food will be served by up to four of my students who are taking some time out to help me! Make sure you show them how much you appreciate what they're doing!
Lodging:
Sadly, I cannot provide lodging at the church, but there are several hotels in the area that are fairly inexpensive if you want to stay in the area overnight.
Cheapest option:

Days Inn - $90/night for 4 people, breakfast too
Worship:
If we finish by 7 PM, you are welcome to come to our Saturday night service in the Senior High SMC, which is lead by our contemporary worship leader, McKendree Tucker (if you recognize that name, you probably listened to Sonicflood at some point; he used to play keyboard for them).
If you stay overnight, you are welcome to join us for worship. My church has four services: a traditional service at 8:15 AM, two contemporary services at 9:45, and a blended service at 11. I normally attend the contemporary service in our Sanctuary.
OTHER NOTES:
There will be a basket available for donations as a 'thank you' to the church. All donations will go to our youth ministry.
Also, this will be the first time we will host anything Redemption-related at this church. I ask that everyone be always on their most excellent behavior, showing good sportsmanship and brotherly kindness.
-
I will be about 15 miles west of Gettysburg, so I'm making a strong attempt to make it.
-
I realize that you said you have no overnight accomadations, but if anyone in the general area can offer me at least a floor spot in the area on Friday Night, it will greatly increase the chances I can come.
-
I should be able to make it, and I'm betting Chad will to. Gonna try my best to get the rest of our crew over for this, as well.
-
Sounds good. I'll rally the troops.

I talk to the folks, and see what I can do.

Of coarse I will be there. I'll let Eric and a couple of my friends know. Hopefully we can all make it over. Can't wait Marti!!!!!
-
Location has been approved. Will be sending the app to Cactus tomorrow and will let you all know from there :)
-
Hey Marti,
I know I said I would be there, but I am officiating a wedding ceremony that day. I apologize for backing out. :-[ I hate to miss it. :'(
-
It's fine man! Looks like I'm going to get a good turn out from all these messages.
-
Bumped with an important question :)
-
Yes to sealed. It's one of three categories I haven't placed in at the state level.
-
Sealed over T2 2p
-
I'd be doing T1-2P, T1 Multi, and Booster, beyond that, I don't care.
-
have sealed during booster!
-
have sealed during booster!
No, because I'm trying to place in both.
-
First, Randall's co-hosting with me. :)
Second, I'm just dropping the idea for sealed right now. I -may- add it in unofficially if we end up having time. :) Application is going in tomorrow. :)
-
Woohoo! Glad to hear it. Can't wait.
-
Bump - it's official!
Also, I'd like a count on people by July 16th (the week before) so I can get orders in for food.
-
:bump:
Start headcount... now!
-
Minimum of three from the Raiders.
-
At least 1 from the Mapleview Playgroup. I will see about how many others. People don't like to give solid answers >.<
-
Just realized I'll be in Allentown that weekend. The good news is is that MD states is close. Plus all of you will be there so I wont be missing out on much! Good luck everyone!
-
Anyone else coming? I currently have:
Definite:
- 3 Raiders
- Someone from Mapleview (is that you Shawn? Or who? lol)
- Gretel and Brad
Maybe:
Chris (Chronic) - you got any definites yet?
-
I will be there. Unfortunately my friend can't come so it will just be me.
-
If Chris can't come, we'll kidnap him anyway.
-
I will most likely be there, and I'll try to drag along at least two others with me.
-
It looks like I will be able to make it. Looking forward to it!
-
excellent!
-
If Chris can't come, we'll kidnap him anyway.
<3
As I mentioned, I'm currently very close to Chambersburg, so I'm doing my best to make it. I have to work Friday all day, but I'm trying to see if I can leave several hours early to make the T1-2P Friday night. If I can indeed do that though, I'm requesting lodging somewhere in the area, as I'd prefer not to sleep out of my car. Alternatively, I may (and let me stress the "may" part of this sentence) be able to have a small amount of people (Randall, this would probably be your group) stay here at the camp I'm working at. However, if that indeed becomes the case, I will need someone to either give me a ride or give me gas money. I cannot even tentatively offer lodging for Saturday night. I will talk to my boss (who's really quite reasonable) and see what I can come up with.
-
Complete change of plans. Chris'll kidnap us.
T1-2P is Saturday morning, I thought...
-
You are correct Kittens, PA State is only one day...
-
Good, had me worried there. Is anyone planning on playing T2?
-
Categories I want to play:
T1 2 player
T1 multi
T1 teams
T2 2 player
Sealed
And maybe
Booster
If there is already a list in here of what's being played and something I said I wanted to play isn't on it then my apologies. This isn't me demanding what we should play, just stating that I would play all these if they are available. It's hard go read these boards on an iPod so I didn't check for a list
Edit: Now at a computer and say that we aren't even playing two of those. Can't decided between T1 2P or T2 2P at the moment.
-
My bad, misread the thingy. I'll just plan on being there bright and early Saturday morning. I cannot provide lodging to anyone, sorry. >_>
-
With that in mind, is anyone morally opposed to us sleeping in our car in the church parking lot?
-
The city WILL not look too kindly on that for one (it's constantly monitored)...and Chambersburg is not exactly the kind of place you want to do that with anyway...and yes, there will be competitors for type 2...unless things go amazing this weekend at MD State...
-
Thanks Brad for mentioning that. Even though Chambersburg is not technically a city, we're a large town with city issues. KSC is right downtown, close to the "bad part" of town (but not in it), and the parking lot and church are monitored because of the high rate of poverty and homelessness in the area.
-
Alright, that leads us to a problem. We're 6 hours away, and if things start at 8, we need to leave at 2AM to arrive on time. Is there anywhere we could lodge for free (we're college students, fancy hotels are above our budget)
-

Is sadly the best I can offer, and Marti can verify when she gets back from working with her students. We know the policy of the church is that people can't stay overnight or we would offer people lodging there....
-
SK, there's a chance I could be able to have you all spend Friday night at my house. I live a bit over an hour away from Chambersburg. Would need to ask my folks if that would be ok, but they're usually pretty cool about that kind of stuff. Let me know if you can't get anything closer worked out.
-
I sadly can't provide any alternative to getting a hotel. I apologize, it's just because of the nature of the area which we're located in.
-
I understand about the housing, trying to work something out with JM. Also: My car had a serious issue yesterday, and we're trying to get it fixed soon. Please pray that everything works out.
-
hm might b able to make this its like and hour and a half away
-
Alright, here's my count:
Brad
Gretel
MD group: 3? That was last count I think?
Chris
Kittens + 3?
melike
Couple guys who called me
JM
LP
Hartz
Does that put me at... 16? Goodness.
-
You forgot me...
-
I'm not sure if I will be able to come anymore, the sunday after is my best friends birthday I might be going home to surprise her. If I am though I would be part of the "Kittens +3"
-
Kittens plus 2 is only possible. Not sure yet, car.
-
Randall, I got permission for your group to stay here at my camp Friday night. If you can make it, you have a place to stay.
-
Where's your camp located?
-
Gettysburg. About half hour or forty five minutes away.
-
Number is now at 30ish if everyone comes. Goodness gracious... LOL :)
-

It's gon' be a party!!

Might have three coming from Hanover.
-
Sweet, I can just focus on judging this time....except Booster...I need to play booster...

It's going to be the biggest PA State tournament... ever? Need verification, but it's pretty close. Methinks I may have to do this every year now...
-
I may have to dive into the T1 category, its looking like I won't have time to finish my T2-2P Deck before Saturday. :(
-
Bummer, Shawn! :( Glad you can at least come and play! :)
-

You could always just grab a random deck and go 2-1-0.
-
I cant wait to come and get my butt handed to me, got a pretty bad deck
-
My brother and I can make it, so we should be there.
-
Everyone who was going to come with me has bailed, (lp670sv is the only maybe, and that doesn't look good) so I don't know if I'll be able to show up. Driving solo's an issue with the age my car has reached, and gas money is also a problem. I'll keep you guys updated, but prayers are needed.
-
Randall, it's cool if you can't. We'll miss you, but I totally understand. :) I was a poor college student at one time too, I totally get it.
-
Best friends birthday is this weekend. Haven't seen her in about 5 weeks so I'm gonna be heading home to surprise her. Sorry ya'll
-
Randall, it's cool if you can't. We'll miss you, but I totally understand. :) I was a poor college student at one time too, I totally get it.
Don't write me off just yet. Can we pay fees in Redemption Cash?
-
I know you can't for Booster, I doubt they will be accepted for registration either, but Marti can verify...
-
Sadly, no. Part of your registration is food, or I'd consider it.
-
So, here I am, sitting at the PA state tournament... and it's crazy. I believe that we may have broken a record of people at PA states other years. We have 33 people from 5 states.... we had to have 5 rounds of T1-2p. We're currently working on the two multi-player events, and I hope we can start booster by 5. :)
We miss you guys that couldn't make it, but it's crazy enough as is! :)

Wow, that's awesome!
-
Wow, that's awesome!
I watched a WS deck almost place first, and thought of you.
-
Wow, that's awesome!

That's the best deck right there.
-
His WS ended up getting nailed by one of the trickiest plays I've ever seen. He could have stopped it, but didn't realize that until afterward.
-
WS deck would fail against all the 1.5 decks showcased at SE Regionals
