I've cancelled the league.
Since Type NW was popular during its inaugural season, I will continue the league for the next Redemption year!
This is a league that will run with two halves. The first half will be run from 9/1/2009 to 12/20/2009 (15 weeks w/Thanksgiving week off). The second half will be determined at a later date. Playoffs will be next May. The winners of each half will get a bye in the playoffs. Second place from the first half will play third place from the second half, and vice-versa. If a player has already qualified for the playoffs from the first half, then the next player in the standings from the second half will qualify.
So I guess the first question is, "What is Type NW?" It is both a deck-building and category version we started here in the NW. Here are the details:
Type NW deck-building
- Deck size is always 70 cards
- No dominants are allowed
- Type 1 deck-building rules apply for everything else
Type NW gameplay
- Games are allotted one hour; when one hour is reached, complete the current full turn
- Name-on-name bonus and Experience credit are both used
For league play, we will keep track of wins, losses and ties along with number of lost souls that are saved by both opponents.
- Wins = 4 points
- Ties = 2 points
- Losses = 1 point
- Total redeemed lost souls will be accumulated for all players during the season
- A player may play another player twice in a week maximum to count towards league results
- There is no limit to the number of different players you play as long as they are signed up for the league
- Please PM or email all game results to me
As you can see by the point system, players are encouraged to actually play. A player with 5 losses will rank higher than a player with a win if those are the only games played. Since games are a full hour, there's a good chance there will be some 1-0 game scores and maybe some like 10-7. Who knows? :o
Prizes will go to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each half. Separate prizes will be given out for playoffs.
So SIGN UP now!! Just let me know...post, PM or email. :)

i'm in
i'll take on anybody!
BRING IT ON!!!
-
I'm in I saw the old one during the playoffs, but this looks really fun.
-
I'll tenatively join.
-
Is 70 simply a min or do decks need to be exactly 70?
I would be interested in playing this type now and then so add me to the list.
-
All decks must be exactly 70.
-
please add me.
-
Still a month away, but at least that gives everyone time to incorporate TexP in their Type NW decks. :)
-
I'll jump in. I really liked the category at Nats, and want to tune my deck now that I know the rest of the TxP.
-
I'll join, it sounds fun ;D
-
WHOOPIE!! I'M IN 1ST!! i rule so much XD
-
I'm in! And I'm here to defend my nationals title! :-*
-
Ah, just when I thought I'd have a chance... ah, where are Standing in the Gap and Stronghold in the Desert when ya need 'em... :D
-
Yeah... standing in the gap would have OWNED my deck. ;D
-
I would try out this type, but I have to leave this Saturday so I won't get much play time in.
-
I would love to join but I can never dedicate an hour of game time (don't like to plat when the wife is at home (rather be with her)). Out of curiosity though, how can you get more than 9 lost souls when there are no SOG to rescue your own?
-
The Exchanger my friend, the Exchanger. Nebushasban also. ...Hmmm, NW deck idea coming to me...

I rescued 17 Lost Souls in a game during the Type NW playoffs last year. ;D
Your opponent will have 10 LS for you to rescue. You can give them the Hopper, The Amalekite's Slave, Malcus, Captured Heroes (via Night Raid and Dungeon of Malchiah). I generated a ton of Souls to rescue by using Provisions to choose my own Women as Snares for my opponent to block with.
-
Wait, 10? I thought 70 card decks had to have 9.
-
Wait, 10? I thought 70 card decks had to have 9.
Huh, I fail. :doh: I think every Type NW deck I've ever built had 10 in it! How did I ever even win a single Type NW game? I guess that's what happens when you make a 50 card deck player built something larger than 50. :laugh:
-
what is type NW?

Check out the very first post on the first page by Mr. Stamp.
-
Oh haha...thanks for pointing out the obvious! Guess I should have looked there first...anyways. This sounds like a really fun thing but I'm not sure if I'll have time...for those of you who have done this before how much time commitment does it take.
-
As little or as much as you want. Once you have a deck you just commit an hour to a game whenever you have time and are in the mood.
-
so do we play on rts or at tourneys? or just with a friend down the road?
-
RTS
-
You can play online, at home, or at tournaments. :)
-
I would like to join if that's still possible. Since there hasn't been any games yet according to the standings, I hope I'm still able.
-
Yes, you may join at any time. The NW league works a little different than the online tournament. You don't necessarily have to be a card-carrying member. All you need to do is play a Type NW game and report your score. Obviously the more you play, the more you'll climb the standings. :)
Also, the league officially starts in Sept. I'll send out a reminder PM to everyone.
-
awesome! thanks for keeping us updated stamp :)
-
One week to go until Type NW season starts!
Mark September 1 on your calendars. :)
-
oh crap! and i still haven't gotten my type nw deck built!! XD
or maybe i'll use my older ones if i still have them
-
Scott, please add me to the list of participants.
-
Scott, please add me to the list of participants.
Oh great. I quit.
Just kidding, I look forward to playing you sometime Gabe. :)
-
Do you guys meet and play in person?
-
Do you guys meet and play in person?
You can. This league is for any NW game you can play either online or in person. Last year, some participants played games in between rounds of tournaments.
-
'Tis September 1st. Let the fun begin! :)
-
Sweet! I'm looking forward to playing a lot of you.
So just to clarify... you can play any number of games and you get more points the more games you play?
-
I would like to join. Is there a Hamachi network just for this? I would like to join that.
-
I made a network. Stamp, if you would like to own the network, let me know I'll delete mine.
Network: nwredemption
Password: nodominants
-
I wanna get in on this :) 'cept i don't have hamachi or RTS :P
-

We try to be flexible. However you can play a game is okay: hamachi, AIM, in-person.

You can play via AIM or in-person at a MN playgroup. All you need to do is report the score.

That is correct. :)
-

Sounds good. BTW, props on the G. K. Chesterton quote.
-
remind me again: what is RSA and RSF?
-
Raven and I had a fun filled game of type NW this morning. He got off to a quick 2 LS lead but I came back to win 9-3. Great game, Andy!!!
-
yeah it was, alot of mistakes made some on my part but it was just insane.
great game :)
-
remind me again: what is RSA and RSF?
RSA = Redeemed Souls For
RSF = Redeemed Souls Against
-
oh ok thanks :)
-
would anyone be up for a Type NW game?
-
I would! Too bad I'm not in NW.
-
so far me and gabe played type NW XD
would me and him have to play the entire tournament and have me win 2nd place? lol :laugh:
come on people! play those games!
-
When can people be on? I want to play, but don't see many on. I should be free tomorrow afternoon, and most of Wednesday.
-
Can anyone be on later tonight or tomorrow?
-
i'm on right now
-
I would like to leave this tournament. Sorry I did not get to play. It sounds like a cool idea.
-
you can't leave kyp.
i tried last year but was not permitted to leave so i had tio just not play
-
Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is almost as bad as finding out Darth Vader was my father ;D
-
necropost time
are me and gabe gonna be the only ones to play in the playoffs or is everyone else gonna get their games in?
-
I'd like to play! So it is type 1, 70 cards only, no more no less?
-
So I'm kind of realizing I never have time to play in any kind of online games... please take me off the list. But as the NW national champion, rest assured Stamp, it's not you, it's me. :D
-
hey guys. im new to the tournament play. so could someone remind me what NW is?
-
I'm cancelling the Type NW league. The introduction of the two new dominants has impacted interest in Type NW. I kind of saw this coming. I'm just glad I could offer a game variation that saw a lot of gameplay the past couple of years. :)
I may already have your addresses, but Gabe and Andy if you could PM your mailing address again just to be sure I'll send you out a little something. :)
-

I never actually played in type NW myself, but I did follow it enough to know that it was quite active for a time, and a lot of people seemed to really enjoy it. Congrats on keeping it going for as long as you did, and helping people enjoy a variation of this great game.
-
Well fine! I didn't want to know how to play this style anyways! :)
