If I counted right, that makes 5, plus me equals 6.

I would love to play Booster, but I don't arrive till 11 pm....  :-\

and

I'm hoping to be there around 10:00, and I would like to do T2 Booster...

and

Same with me

and

Dang, T2 booster sounds fun but we won't be there until close to midnight.

Given that I said
The current plan is to start this somewhere around 8:00. Since we are playing just to try something new, we can move the start time back if some people really want to play but can't be there at 8:00.

We could move the start time back to approximately midnight (and call it the Minnesota T2-Booster Midnight Shoot Out Classic :) ). This would certainly pack as much T2 crunchiness into one day as possible. The only issue I have with this is that I'm figuring two rounds of booster could take 4 1/2 hours--3 1/2 for the games and 1 hour for drafting deck building... While I personally think playing T2-Booster until 4:30 in the morning would be a blast, I can understand how this might not be for everyone.

Keeping in mind that this is just for fun so you could drop out after the first round which should end around 2:45, I guess there are three options...

1) Keep the time at 8-ish for the whole thing.

2) Do the first ever Minnesota T2-Booster Midnight Shoot Out Classic.

3) Play two different boosters--one at 8-ish and one when everyone gets there.

Thoughts anyone?

As much as I like a good nights sleep and I'm getting too old to stay up all night... well, how often do I get a chance to play T2 booster with this crowd?!?!?  I'll pay for it later but I'm down.  Don't reschedule the whole thing on my behalf but if all the other late comers don't mind staying up all night then cool.

"Type 2-2 player
    1st place  - Chuck Lamp-MN
    2nd place - Justin Alstad-MN
    3rd place - Jeremiah Thiessen-MN"
these were the winners from our last regionals. you'll notice Gabe isn't on there...
probably because he was too busy playing T1 2 Player, but... that's not the point.
and... he didn't have speed camp at that point... ...

Since I'm riding with Gabe, I am following suit....like a padawan :laugh:

I'm sooooo down for this.  I'm in aggreement with Gabe though that I'm going to pay for it later.  I look forward to meeting so many of you. 

On a side note: So what are all the different events.  There has been some discussion about what we could do, just would like to know what we are going to do. I need to budget.  What's this about snipes?  I thought they were extinct?

Since it appears we will be gaining at least three players (one whom I been looking forward to meeting and two who are among my favorite people to lose to :) ) and not losing anyone if we push things back, we will plan on starting the T2 Booster at midnight give or take.

A note on costs: The plan is to give everyone player 2 identical RoA tins and two packs of Angel Wars for $15. Once everyone gets in if players want we can add TexP x1 or Kings x2 for $3, So the final cost might rocket up to $21 if everyone agrees to play with everything,

A note on Lost Souls: Please, please, please bring non-SA lost souls.

Gabe and Tracer, if you are too tired to drive back on Saturday evening, there is room available for both of you to spend the night. You guys might want to bring sleeping bags for that eventuality.

On a side note: So what are all the different events.  There has been some discussion about what we could do, just would like to know what we are going to do. I need to budget.
OK, here are the events and costs that I know of at this point...

Tonight 6:00 pm - End of Tournament
    Games, games, and more games.
    Cost: Free

12:00 am - 4:30 am
    T2-Booster Draft
    Cost: $15-$21 (see above)

6:00 am - 8:00 am
    Snipe Hunting
    Cost: Free if you provide your own pink dress and goal-tender glove.

8:00 am
    Breakfast
    Cost: ???

8:30 am:
    Deck Check (trying for a 9:00 am start)

9:00 am - Done
    Iron-man T1.
    Cost: Free

9:00 am - late afternoon/early evening
    T2-2P
    Cost: $999*  There are fifty $999 scholarships available. (Bill didn't tell me about the scholarships until after I paid.  ;))

               Off-site $varies.
    Possibly also Type-S.

**I'm joking about this also. The actual cost is free even though Justin pushed hard for a tax on A New Beginning.

I think they are extinct in Iowa, but Minnesota still has a small population. To make sure you don't miss the hunt, look for the good Count and I wrassling Gabe and Tim into the van. That will tell you it is time to go.

I'd like to say that I am bringing a Wii and games, but I'm not sure if there are going to be any TV's there. Can I get any confirmation on this? If there aren't any TV's at the church (I'll bet we could find one somewhere), would anyone be willing to bring one? It doesn't have to be big, just as long as it has audio/video plugins.

OMGosh.....Emjay.. you are hilarious!!  I was laughing out loud in the college diner reading this.  I really appreciate the kind words, and the breakdown of what we are doing.  Gosh, I feel like I'm going to Nationals!  

Snipe hunting, I look forward to the combat of others against Gabe and Tim into a van....that is blog worthy.

Do you have Wii Resort?  Because if the snipes go into hiding then I have a chance to show that I rule the day at 100 pin bowling. (****)   

**** indicates comment placement of others to indicate how lame I actually am at this game.

The youth department has them (TV's, Wiis, and games), but I don't know if Wild Bill talked to anyone who had access. I would PM him and see if he has/can talk to anyone.

two who are among my favorite people to lose to

I'm honored, really I am. I shall commence trash talking now.

Rubbish. Refuse. Garbage. Waste. Styrofoam plates and cups. Banana peels. MJB's best deck.

Which one of the above doesn't belong?

Styrofoam plates and cups, since they're actually useful for something.

Hey now, the Banana peels are insulted. They're a classic prank, and thus useful for something.

Oh yeah, how about this one...

What do these have in common?

Ooh. That was low.

What's the difference between a Physicist playing TEAMS and an Engineer playing TEAMS?

About two places at the last TC local.

What now.

You know, a funny thought just occurred to me: From the time I made my first reply on this thread until now has been two months, which equals about one sixth of the total time I've waited since the last T2 tournament...not sure why I felt that worth sharing...

I'll bring them right now. You're a terrible person who is no good at Redemption.

Naw, I'm just kidding. I have plenty of Words of Discouragement cards for trade. I will bring them if no one else does.
