Where is nationals going to be held in 2010?
-
It has not been announced yet.
-
MN has a good shot this year, or so I hear.
-
we don't know
-
MN has a good shot this year, or so I hear.
MN has a good shot at it every year. ::)

I heard that the south may have it ;)

Don't you mean every other year.... ;)
-
However, we did get nationals last year...;)

Nationals were in CA last year, silly. ;)
-
Minnesota and California are the same state. Unfortunately, BubbleBoy is one of those that think MN owns CA (and call CA "West Minnesota"), when, in reality, CA owns East California.
-
lol that is funny...But it shold be on the east coast somewhere xp...really seriously...honestly. East coast....faux real. ;)
-
UGH! stop asking people! please? it's getting rediculous and it's only january
-

You mean it's already January.... ;)

::)
depends on where it's held i may not be able to make it this year as always
-
Join the club..... ;)
-
oh goodie!! are there T-shirts?!please tell me there are T-shirts given out
-
Of course! My t-shirt says:
"Roy Cruz went to Nationals, but all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

Yep, that's the one. Size XXL. ;)

Surprising fact:
Columbus, OH is closer to New York City than it is to Minneapolis, MN. Boston Columbus is, in fact, dead smack in the middle between Boston. MA and Minneapolis, MN.
-
Boston is, in fact, dead smack in the middle between Boston. MA and Minneapolis, MN.
That would indeed be surprising, and would violate most principles of Geometry. In fact, I think I'll add it to one of my tests:
1. Two points are in the coordinate plane. When you draw the segment that connects these endpoints, one of them is also the midpoint. How is this possible?

I'm glad I'm not in your math class, no matter how much I actually enjoyed geometry (at least for the first semester last year...for those of you who weren't there yesterday to hear my messed up story about math class, feel free to ask). :P
Bill wore his nationals name tag yesterday in hopes that nationals will come to MN. ;D

Another slightly surprising fact: Atlanta, GA and New York, NY are both about the same distance from Columbus, OH.

Fixed above. Thanks for the correction.

I'm glad you are a geometry teacher and not a geography teacher. The idea that the Earth's surface is a plane went out with Columbus--the explorer not the city. ;)
-
Fixed above. Thanks for the correction.
Don't think I am not aware of your underlying intent, however subtle. Geometrically speaking (Euclidian, of course), the only way an endpoint of a segment can also be the midpoint is if both endpoints were the same point to begin with.
Clearly this is a Jedi mind trick trying to get us to believe that Minneapolis and Boston are actually the same city, and that having Nats in MN would effectively allow Nats to be in the Midwest and East Coast at the same time.
Nice try.... ;)
-
Well since MN and CA are the same state, there is precedence that Boston and Arden Hills are the same city ;) And we could have nats in 3 states at once ;)
-
Atlanta! Or Hayesville, since the game is 15 years old this year.
-
Clearly this is a Jedi mind trick trying to get us to believe that Minneapolis and Boston are actually the same city, and that having Nats in MN would effectively allow Nats to be in the Midwest and East Coast at the same time.
Actually, we gave Minneapolis to Boston as a Christmas gift and to cement our recent political alliance. So Minneapolis is technically "West Boston" these days, which would effectively make them the same city, allowing Nationals to be held in the Midwest and on the East Coast at the same time.

^ this was awesome.

California and its Commonwealth Territories FTW!

I find it funny, that Minnesotans came up with the whole "West Minnesota" idea, and then the Western ones decide to call us "East California" um... nice try guys, but by doing that, your copying Minnesota. I suppose it's because we're just that awesome.
yeah, Midwest is probably going to get it this year. OH, MN or IA. GA wouldn't be bad, but I wouldn't be going...

But, we're the same state... we can't copy ourselves. It was simply necessary to explain to some who actually owned who.

there is a definite division between Minnesota and West Minnesota. so you're copying us by trying to declare that you actually own us. funny that you only start saying that once we declared California's renaming to West Minnesota...

We've had a street named after East California (http://books.google.com/books?id=K3cpAAAAYAAJ&q=%22east+california%22&dq=%22east+california%22&ei=eDZKS6j0MaT-kQTHmOkP&cd=3) since well before 1923. Texas has one, too (http://books.google.com/books?id=nDUdAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA786&dq=%22east+california%22&ei=eDZKS6j0MaT-kQTHmOkP&cd=1#v=onepage&q=%22east%20california%22&f=false). It's not a new idea, we've recognized East California for years.
-
except for the fact that you're calling Minnesota East California, not the street.
on a side note, Hope and Harmony (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=hope+MN+to+Harmony+MN&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.784549,79.013672&ie=UTF8&z=9) are in MN

The street is named after the state of East California.

It's okay to be bitter and jaded. We stole your joke and made it wittier. That would make me cranky, too. Speaking of wit, we happen to have a monopoly on that as well: Whittier (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=whittier,+ca&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=55.718442,114.433594&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Whittier,+Los+Angeles,+California&t=h&z=13) is in CA.

made it wittier by replacing one place with the same place? I don't think so. that's like the whole "Knock knock" joke with saying Banana a million times, but you would have it changed to Apple. which really wouldn't be that funny, since everybody knows that the Banana joke is the proper one. Orange you glad that I didn't say Banana again?
love that joke... apple would make it lame though.
-
I think Nats should be in Missouri again. its Central for most people. If not Missouri some where close, a neighbor state or something.
-
no MO would be horralbe for me as would be orlando altough that would get us permotion but GA NATS 2010!!!!!!!
-
I know that this thread has nothing to do with where Nationals is ultimately placed, but it would be helpful if people limit their preferences to states that held a State-level tournament last year.
-

That's not a fair stipulation. I don't know if there was a FL States last year, but I certainly intend to make sure there is one this year, even if not in Orlando. Having hosted the CT state tournament in the past, I would like to think that I am qualified. Plus, Roy has already agreed to come down to FL to help out if I get a BIG tournament.
Roy alone makes any state a favorite. ;D
-
The predominate issue IMO is not the quality of the host it is the size and motivation of the native player base that had me make that suggestion.
-

Still not a fair stipulation, since there may be large cells of players in hiding, waiting to be peacefully discovered. ;)
-
As opposed to... violently discovered? :P
-

Yes. Being "discovered" by Cortez, for example, didn't work out so good for hidden civilizations.

How would one go about pulling a Hernan Cortez on hidden cells of Redemption players?

IT NEED'S TO BE IN VA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

States/Provinces holding a State- or higher-level tournament last year...
CA, CT, GA, IA, KY, MA, MD, MN, NC, NE, NV, NY, OH, ON, OR, PA, RI, WA, and WI
States with a large underground cell of players who are willing to be peacefully discovered...
? ? ?
And if we need to smoke that hidden cell out, I know just the dog...
I am a great tracker. My pack sent me on a special mission, all by myself. Have you seen a bird? I am going to find one, and I am on the scent. I am a great tracker; did I mention that?
-
dig dug...?
anyways, someone needs to smoke out the underground players in kansas and missouri. disheartened to see no state or higher tournament for either last year.
-
how about the other al group?cuz al is dead in redemption.

I agree that Nats will likely be in a state that has had a large and stable enough playgroup that they were able to host a State tournament last year. I also can confidently rule out CA (because they just had Nats), KY (because I know the state of my state), and the provinces (because I don't see a Nats in Canada for a loooong time). If others could eliminate their states, we could probably get this down to only a few locations.
-
i seriously think atlanta, georgia should get it
-
I think we can rule out Oregon, Nevada and Washington. It seems highly unlikely that Natz will be on the West Coast two years in a row.
-
I think you can rule out Wisconsin, since no one has entered or left the state since 1986.
-
i don't thionk there is any players over there, unless im wrong
-
Well as a person in maryland, we don't have a large base per say as a bunch of others do but we have held some disctricts. That could qualify us. XD
-
I wouldn't think Ohio would get Nats this year, but I guess they have a chance.
-
dig dug...?

Im from missouri and they had a states last year. and they had a regionals or a districts. i have like 4 to 5 people in my playgroup not including my self and wife.
-
you have self playing redemption? How does that work out? A card playing it's own kind...xp
-
I think we can rule out Oregon, Nevada and Washington. It seems highly unlikely that Natz will be on the West Coast two years in a row.
Agreed.
I think you can rule out Wisconsin
I wouldn't think Ohio would get Nats this year
Thanks, but I think it would be better to hear from the people who actually are high up in the tourney hosting for each state (ie. hosted a State or Regional level tourney there before).
So this leaves us with the following likely possibilities.
States/Provinces holding a State- or higher-level tournament last year...
CA, CT, GA, IA, KY, MA, MD, MN, NC, NE, NV, NY, OH, ON, OR, PA, RI, WA, and WI

-

That's funny. I wonder why the Missouri State tournament not listed at Cactus (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/red_tournament_past_2009.php). When and where was the Missouri State tournament held (and why didn't anyone tell me about it when I asked last year)?
i seriously think atlanta, georgia should get it
Last year there were seven people at the GA state tournament, and North Carolina was the only state touching Georgia that had a state tournament.
-
I think you can rule out Wisconsin, since no one has entered or left the state since 1986.
Unless you count the 4 times I have entered and 4 times I have left that state since then. :)
I would be VERY happy to see it in Wisconsin or MN this year. :)
-
Family in the area?
-
I think we can rule out Oregon, Nevada and Washington. It seems highly unlikely that Natz will be on the West Coast two years in a row.
Hey! I resemble that remark! ;D
But seriously, I believe ALL of the NW hosts are currently out or on their way out.
That is until April, 2012, when a certain mountain-climbing, bear-shooting SW host relocates to the NW. ;)
-
Thanks, but I think it would be better to hear from the people who actually are high up in the tourney hosting for each state (ie. hosted a State or Regional level tourney there before).
I was joking...
I know :) That was just me subtle way to encourage other top hosts around the country to chime in.
-
Well I do not know if I qualify as a top tournament host, but I believe I am the only active tournament host in MD. I have no plans to host Nat's for a few years, I am trying to grow my play group first, then we will see. I did work with Roy to host States last year and I am planning to apply for MD States again this year, so in short you can probably rule MD out of the Nats Race.
-
i seriously think atlanta, georgia should get it
Last year there were seven people at the GA state tournament, and North Carolina was the only state touching Georgia that had a state tournament.
but they DESERVE it. it's been forever since a national has been in the south. who knows, maybe it'll bring about many new players down there!!![/sarcasm]

yeah. Nationals is definitely going to be in Rhode Island. [/sarcasm]
-
and the provinces (because I don't see a Nats in Canada for a loooong time).
Wouldn't Canada have their own Nats anyways :scratch: :P
-
No it wouldn't. Canadia is just North North Dakota :P
-
I believe I am the only active tournament host in MD...you can probably rule MD out of the Nats Race.
That's good enough for me :)
So this leaves us with the following likely possibilities.
CT, GA, IA, MA, MN, NC, NE, NY, OH, PA, RI, and WI
-
By intution, we can rule out NC (It wouldn't be at Cactus, too far out in the boonies) and OH (recently held there). RI and WI could also probably be legitimately ruled out (MA/CT and MN/IA are in the same proximity but offer more established hosts and player bases).
So we have CT, GA, IA, MA, MN, NE, NY, and PA. In my opinion.

ORLANDO NATS 2010
-
By intuition, we can rule out...
And if we could get a response from Rob/DJ and Schaef/Travis then we wouldn't have to use intuition :)
-
Considering the number of people that liked the Ohio location in a previous thread, I wouldn't discount it.

Anybody game to do it in Columbus again? I'm not in a hurry to steal anybody's turn but I'd host it here every year if you guys asked me to.
-
maybe if it was in ohio i MAY be able to make it, depending on the situation
-
Anybody game to do it in Columbus again?
I would be. Sitting equidistant from MA and MN, Columbus is probably the city that comes closest to being the center of the Redemption world. Add to that the rolling fun that is Megabus ($16 round trip from Minneapolis to Columbus) and you have a winner.
-
Anybody game to do it in Columbus again?
If you do, hopefully I can make it coincide with a business trip to our Hebron offices. (no pun intended)
Of course, my company needs to get way back in the black before they'll let me travel for no reason. :laugh:
-
I am sure my family would like an excuse for me to be in Ohio more than once a year :P.
-

In a way, it sort of is. Major airport hub plus one-day drive from like 70% of the US population equals a true "central" locatioin.
-
Where is nationals going to be held in 2010?
WOW!!! I didnt know so many posts could be post about nationals!

the last one had lilke 30 pages.

My friends and I can get a limited number of people in free, too. Somehow, we'll get everyone in. That's the magic of Disney. ;)
-
If we were to end up going to Disney World en masse, I'd cast my vote for Epcot. What appeals to you more: standing in line all day to go to Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain, or riding Crash Course over and over again, lots of shopping for the wives, live concerts, international cuisine, epic photo ops, riding Soarin at least twice, and the best fireworks display other than Disney Studios?
-
I second Epcot. By far the best park. I like Animal Kingdom also.
-
You know...I just realized that after getting my license, I can go absolutely anywhere I want! ;D It would be a great experience to have a road trip to Disney World and nats at the same time! I might even be able to convince some family to come, too.

-

I work at Epcot, so my opinion is biased.
BTW, both the Volunteer Pass and the passes that I get are Hopper passes. So we can go to all the parks on the same day with one ticket.

Anybody game to do it in Columbus again? I'm not in a hurry to steal anybody's turn but I'd host it here every year if you guys asked me to.
I didn't realize you wanted that stress every year, but I would be game to drive 5 hours to see you guys on a regular basis for Nats*

The Red Sox play Tampa Bay a few times each year. I'm sure we could work out a plan if Nats is in Orlando. ;)

If we were to end up going to Disney World en masse, I'd cast my vote for Epcot. What appeals to you more: standing in line all day to go to Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain, or riding Crash Course over and over again, lots of shopping for the wives, live concerts, international cuisine, epic photo ops, riding Soarin at least twice, and the best fireworks display other than Disney Studios?
3D Muppet movie.

3D Muppet movie.
That'll be when we hop to Hollywood Studios. I particularly enjoy the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" playground anyway, which is right around the corner from the Muppets. ;D
-
You know...I just realized that after getting my license, I can go absolutely anywhere I want! ;D It would be a great experience to have a road trip to Disney World and nats at the same time! I might even be able to convince some family to come, too.
Wait if you go take me with You!!! ::)

Last time I went, I was merely amused by that. Six years and two kids under two will alter one's perspective considerably.

I second Epcot. By far the best park. I like Animal Kingdom also.
Definantly!!!!!!!!!!

Epcot is the worst park....of course I may be biased as the had the "futuristic" section of the park closed for repair when I visited there.

I think we can rule out Oregon, Nevada and Washington. It seems highly unlikely that Natz will be on the West Coast two years in a row.
Agreed.
I think you can rule out Wisconsin
I wouldn't think Ohio would get Nats this year
Thanks, but I think it would be better to hear from the people who actually are high up in the tourney hosting for each state (ie. hosted a State or Regional level tourney there before).
So this leaves us with the following likely possibilities.
States/Provinces holding a State- or higher-level tournament last year...
CA, CT, GA, IA, KY, MA, MD, MN, NC, NE, NV, NY, OH, ON, OR, PA, RI, WA, and WI
I believe it is going to be held at North Heights or at least that is what I've been told in Arden Hills,MN

I'm pretty sure that Bill is putting in a bid for it, and he has reserved the space and getting permission from the church, but nothing has been decided yet.
-
In Minnesota, there is pretty much a guarantee that many will attend. The playgroup(group) here is one of the (if not the) biggest in the US. And it has been 5 years since MN has had it before (not to mention that that was by far the largest nationals ever held), so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for it again.
From what I heard, it sounds quite probable that Nats will be held here at North Heights. All we need is Rob's okay, which I hope he gives.
Just trying to be optimistic here. :)
-
+1 Professor Alstad.
Before people get too far ahead of the situation, however, it's worth noting that this is at least the third time Bill has reserved space at the church for Nationals.

We would love to give you the dates, STAMP, but that information can only be released to players who are not retired.

Well, as self-appointed regent for the Redemption Alumni Touring Society, we may decide to convene a meeting at 2010 Nationals. ;)

As long as it's held before August 25th, I start college around then, and missing it the year it's in my home state is not what I would like to have happen.

I guess I should have added a "to go to" after weddings...nice catch grammar police. Don't worry, I think one of my own weddings will do it for me...and that will be in June.
-
Just be glad you didn't have to prepare your wedding 13 months ahead of time to ensure that you were able to reserve everything...it was such an odd feeling to be planning a wedding and not being officially engaged...seriously Nationals should have been in like March in 2008 ;)

Don't you see the invisible vertical line above the dot at the end? ;)
-
Where is the verb in this sentence?
That is a question, not a sentence. "Is" is the verb. :)
Unless, you are asking where "the verb" is in your question, which is tricksy. In that case, "the verb" is slightly nearer the middle of your question.
And if you were asking about the verb in my sentence, see STAMP's reply. It was an exclamation with an partially invisible exclamation point. In exclamations, it is OK to have an understood "That was a" before the exclamation. That was the case in my rendering of the prof's exclamation. The understood "was" was the verb. :)
-
In exclamations, it is OK to have an understood "That was a" before the exclamation.
As in, "That was a wow!" or "That was a incredible!"

In my opinion, PA's not quite ready yet. Give us a couple of years, maybe. Depends on what happens.

MN isn't that much further than IA. although, I'd be fine with either, I'm only a few hours more away from IA then where it'd be held here in MN.

You didn't use any capital letters in that post. You also spelled grammar wrong.

His point is that you are being inconsistent by correcting someone else's spelling of Samson, and then making spelling mistakes yourself. And if you don't want to be corrected, then don't correct others.

that's what i get for not saying "JK"

He wasn't making fun of you or your username. He was paraphrasing a Poe line as a pun. Also, coming back with a similar "insult" won't help anything either.

If you pick a name like Raven, you have to expect this. The first three things that people think of when they think of ravens are the football team, the famous poem, and that show staring that teenage girl who used to be the little Olivia kid on the Cosby Show. You are naturally going to get posts that somehow connect to those things once in a while. Learn to laugh with people instead of taking offense.
I'm getting slammed in other parts of the forum currently, and I'm not taking it personally. You can do it to :)

I am not making fun of anybody. (Even though it was pretty funny) And that wasn't the first thing that popped into my head when I thought of that. And if you don't like people joking around with you, you shouldn't be doing it to everybody else. I am just having good clean fun. Not my fault you are the party poopeh...People make fun of my name too. I am fine with that because if you aren't even able to laugh at yourself, then there would be no point in laughing with other people. Just don't take it the wrong way when I joke Raven...not my intentions
