hey every body(love in the voice),CAN U PLEASE HOST MORE TOURS IN OHIO PLEASE!?(angelice voice:)thats if u live in Ohio.
-
We try to have one in Columbus every month, I can't do much more than that.
-
Why don't you post when you have a tournament?
-
This thread (http://cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=485.0) links to two different places where my tournaments are posted along with everybody else's: the Cactus website and the events calendar on the Nexus (which should be updated again in the next day or two). That should be plenty.
I submitted an app for Oct. 28, but I'm not sure if I got it in before the deadline. Even if it doesn't get posted as a sanctioned tournament, we'll probably still do something that day.
-
I saw no OH tournaments.

WOW..... Stephen Schaefer, a Tournament Host!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!
-
Those have already happened.
-
Yeah, they have...the thing is, one person can only host Redemption tournaments so often ::)
He won't be able to schedule another tournament the DAY after he just hosted one.
-
That is true.
-
Those have already happened.
Yes, those already happened... just this past weekend. In the time since I last posted, Doug posted the 10/28 tourney, so that's on the Cactus list as well, and will be on the Nexus when I do my next batch of tournament updates (tourney hosts can post their own events on the calendar, just PM me if you don't yet have access).
We're working on getting a larger facility to support the larger crowds we're planning to host down the road, which is why we haven't publicized the Columbus tourneys too much, but one way or the other, Tom and I are trying to do a tournament around the last Saturday of each month, so keep watching the calendars.
-
ya i hosted 1 once but no 1 came,so next time all u guys r coming.lol.but ya,I'm in bellefotaine,oh my name is (whisper voice)Jessy Ferguson.this message will self destruct in 5 sec.lol.
-
p.s. ur not an old man playing a CHILDS GAME,im 43 years old!lol not realy im only 15 but in 28 years i will be lol.
k bye
-
It's a bit of a joke, really. Someone once said that to me, and meant it in a demeaning fashion, but I looked at that and said, you know what, I am an old man playing a child's game, and that's fine with me. We need to play games, to relax and take time to enjoy ourselves, to remember the joys of our youth because even when time gives us new challenges and new responsibilities, we should not lose that joy.
I know it's a bit of a hike from Bellefontaine, but if you want to hit our tourney on 10/28, you're more than welcome.
-
this message will self destruct in 5 sec.
BOOOOOM !!!
-
thanks but i just went 2 the 1 in franklin & i think my dads all tour.ed out,but thanks
-
p.s. what is type a?
-
Type A is a beginner's category for players under the age of 12 with no RNRS points.
-
What if you are new you have no points and you are 13?
-
It was created mostly for the small childs which still be learning. Even at 13, you should be able to pick it up quickly enough to be competitive fairly quickly. Plus, our playgroup is mostly noobs around your age, so you should be fine playing Type 1 here.
-

**edit** instaposted... **edit**
-
ok.
-
thats cool, i know some kids that want 2 start but they cant beet me and get mad.lol.
-
let them win sometimes ::)
-
if i was coky id say that cant happen.lol. ;)
-
I hope to see Schaef on the 28th.
-
P.S. Who will be there?
-
Guess who was thinking about coming to a tournament sometime?
C'mon guess!
Oh ok, I was looking at my cards the other day and they started calling to me...
I dunno if we'll make this one but I'll try and swing down for the next one maybe, it's only 2 hours away now!
Haven't played in ages so if I seem to be forgetting some things you'll know why.
-
Then maybe everyone else will have a chance eh jer?;)

You're always welcome, you and the whole Bryant clan! We're trying to have an event every month. We are also trying to find a larger locale than the hallway (you read me right) we are currently using.
-
are you going to be there Schaef
-
um... it's my tournament. I'm the host.
-
do you know ow many will be their
-
Nobody knows that until the people show up. I'm hoping for at least a dozen.
-
sounds cool
-
if the bryant clan comes you'll probly get a dozen out of them (ok let me count...including adults if all atend 8-9)
-
If they do, Im'a push everybody I can under the age of 12 into Type A. Don't need any more broken hearts than necessary, but they can still learn at the feet of the masters.
-
Lol or schedual t1 and t2 at the same time :p
-
What time does it start?
-
Yeah Scahef, what time does the touranement start on 10/28 and can I trade in wrappers for free packs there?
-
I'm thinking about doing a redemption club at my church on Saturdays,it up to the elders.
-
Where do you live
-
i live in bellefontaine,OH!
-
Looks like ohio might make a comeback...
-
i thought i was the only one that play in ohio about 3 years ago!lol
-
XD considering the bryants still played then that is funny.
-
I think us ohioans need to get more people playing.
-
its a small state,i was playing at the library when a kid came up and said that he plays redemption to!
-
I have taught two kids in th short time i have bin playing and is working on number three see when i teach them i don't teach the mbut i help them get some cards cheap
-
i have two more people that want to play.
-
So everybody's coming tomorrow, right? ;D
-
I was going to come but I have to much homework.
-
I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the nice turnout we had today, and how much it was appreciated.
Aside from having a slightly larger non-Bryant turnout than expected, we also had goldranger make the trek from WV to run the table of all my best players and take first place. In doing so, he bested my brother-in-law, the reigning champion of our church youth, and Tom the Playtesting Wookiee. He was also very generous in explaining some strategies and combos to our young players, and even lending/giving a few cards when both Tom and I were brilliant enough to show up without our Enormous Pile of Extra Cards (tm).
More importantly, he had to work to earn his victory, which means our kids are getting better. The Central Ohio playgroup is on the rise.
I do not think I will be holding any events before the new year, but I am exploring a couple options to get us into larger facilities, so I hope that when 07 rolls around, you all will consider coming out to play some Redemption with us. I will make sure we have more packs and cards stocked by then, also. :)
-
Hey Schaef, just wanted to say it was great to play with you guys and thank you for letting me join you. I will be there again as provided I am still here or my new youth ministry is close to there (again please pray that I find something soon.) I encourage people to go to the Columbus area and try out the Schaef's tournaments. It is worth going and you can meet some good people. Kentucky also has a couple of spots (Independnce and Jackson) which are good to play too.
-
How many rounds is there in a tournament i'm just asking becouse i'm thinking of hosting a tournemnt in ohio
-
It depends on how many people are there. If it's not a large amount of people, the round number will probably be 3-4 for Type 1-2 player.
-
The reason is that I may run a tournament at a boy scout camp that is going to be a Catholic retreat and if the board approves.
This will be in Ohio.
-
well you can run unofficials all you want :p you dont need an aproval.

were do u live?& were may this be held?i was a boy scout but then i started a brigade scouts that my church has.(christian boy scouts)
HEY! does every one know about travis's district tour. in december?if not look on cactus's tour.s,if so u need to come!!!!
-
What does this mean Type: All. Closed Deck 2-player ($14.00), Closed Deck Booster Draft ($14.00), Open Categories ($5.00). , what is brigaed scouts?
-
It means that all types (T1 and T2-2Player, T1 and T2-Multi, Closed deck and booster draft) will be played at the tournament. Closed deck and Booster Draft will each cost $14 to play, all other categories (open categories-meaning you bring your own deck) will cost $5 for you to play. I think Brigade Scouts is a form of Boy Scouts that yoh love aeralee's church hosts (as he said).
-
4 a local booster draft do u pay the $20 or for every pack?
-
It's only $14, and if you pay that you get all 7 packs (as long as Priests are @ the tourney). It's actually a good deal if you want to buy packs, because its a $18 value for $14.
-
that sounds so cool
-
wait....i mean if u host it,I NEED TO SPECIFY!
-

It is still very high in the air.

The tournament in Franklin, OH on Dec. 8-9: Is it a local or district tournament. Last time, I checked the Cactus website, it listed it as a local. Someone on the boards here said it was a district. Does someone know something that I don't? So is it a local or district?
-
District
-
Thanks. I see on the webpage it is a district. My mistake. Hopefully I get to go.
-

were do u live?do u know who the gold ranger is?!
-
Gold Ranger is in WV
-
What is a Closed Deck and how can you do one or more tournaments that the same time
-
Closed deck is where you get 1 50 card starter deck and 3 booster packs of your choice, and build a deck out of the cards, then you play against opponents just like in Type 1 2 player.
-
Closed Deck is a lot of fun and it is interesting to see what you can add to a starter deck to play with. And to answer another question, I live in Huntington, WV.
-
are they doing the tournaments at the same time or one after another
-
Thanks. I see on the webpage it is a district. My mistake. Hopefully I get to go.
were do u live?do u know who the gold ranger is?!
what i mean is did u get the idea for gold ranger from power rangers?if so....ROCK ON!!!!the old power rangers rock!!!!but now :-\ what r they on?! the 16th season?! :o
-
To answer your question, yes. I got from the idea of the goldranger back from Power Rangers Zeo (I thought his costume was one of the best.) They were cool back then.
-
heck ya!the green rager rocked i think that dinosomthing was ok because it had the green ranger in it.(from the fist season
-
Sometimes they will do events at the same time like they will do Type1 and Type2 2 player at the same time. As to how they will run it in Franklin, I don't know. It would be my first time there.
-
pffft Power Rangers is just a live-action ripoff of Voltron (except less cool).
-
The old Power Rangers were cool, but I have to agree with The Schaef. Voltron was da bomb!! I still remember watching it back in the 1980s when I was a kid. It was so awesome back then!
-
The lions, not the cars. ;)
-
The lions were awesome! ;D
-

i watched it and im only 15 but i watched the sesson with the new red,black,and yellow.
-
I was referring to the part where he said he was a kid back in the 80's. That makes him old.
-
ohhh well ur what 19?
-
If I wasn't yet two when the eighties ended, I must have been born post-1987. Hence I cannot possibly be 19.
-
math ftw.
-
Indeed. Math pwns all.
-

I was a kid in the 60's, what does that make me?

Yep indeedy. Old you are.
-
ok this is big time off topic

We know. We do it on purpose. We are conspirators trained to bring lawlessness to this thread. Our plans have succeeded and now we throw our heads back and laugh maniacally. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I'm done. 8)

i like how u added the w. :o
-
By the way, not to get off the subject again, but if anyone is curious, Voltron is now being aired on Cartoon Network at 5:30am as of yesterday. To get back on the subject, what are the chances of their being a State Tournament in Ohio and where would it be held?
-

I would think Columbus and it would be hosted by scheaf so scheaf are you up to the challenge of hosting a state tournament
-
please!by the way i may not go to this district tour. my parents doesnt like the idea of me spending the night 2 hours away with people they dont know.
-
Yeah, I'm working on larger facilities to host more than like 10 people.
-
wur' u at the tour in grove city that Joe Wolfin jr. hosted (i think in like 03)????
-
Didn't joe move away though?
-
ya it was the last tour he did before he went to college.i think schaef was there but he wont answer.
-
ya it was the last tour he did before he went to college.i think schaef was there but he wont answer.
I'm sure he would answer if he'd seen it, but surprisingly he may have better things to do than answer questions on the board all day. ;)
-
:'( ya........lol joking ;D
-
Didnt notice ;)
-
any 1 else going to host a tour around here?
-
pay for me to move there I will ;) Kidding.
-
im going to move to columbus!!!!thats were all the redemption player r
-
im going to move to columbus!!!!thats were all the redemption player r
And your parents have agreed to this?
-
I think they were still trying to decode it.
-
parent???
-
Well, being that you're fifteen, I'd bet that any move to Columbus would have to be agreed to by your parents.
-
OO; yeaaah.
-
nahhhh :P i could walk there on the weekends(columbus is 45 mins away from bellefontaine by car) :o
-
nahhhh :P i could walk there on the weekends(columbus is 45 mins away from bellefontaine by car) :o
And have no playing time :p
-
if i could find them how many people do u know plays?(people that live close to u)
-
Who are you addressing? Anyone in general or people in your area? Because there are tons of people in MN who play, but it'd be unlikely for you to come here for tournies.
-
any one in ur area,id like to know how many people play
-
I'd say that the MN Twin Cities playgroup is roughly between 50-75 people, and that's only one of the playgroups in MN.
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o Gekkka!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I'm sorry, I thought I had answered you earlier. I WAS at Joe's last tournament, he gave me a ton of his old cards to spread among the players if I could, but we didn't have anything for a while after that. Talking to Rob and Chris at the 05 Nats planted the seed in my mind to start taking big steps in the game: getting tournaments going again, set up the website, sell cards, and eventually bring Nats here.
Obviously the site was the only thing to happen anytime soon after 05 Nats. Selling cards and doing tournaments has just come together in the last six or eight months, and Nats are a long-term project. But where I'm going with all this is, I looked way back on what Joe had done for me before he left, and it was sort of the genesis of the idea for The Storehouse, collecting used cards donated from long-time players and reselling them / giving them out to new and growing playgroups.
Our success with tournaments has been promising so far, but limited, but rest assured we're working to bring central Ohio back into the tournament scene in a big way! :)
The good news is, I can see now on the RNRS rankings that my brother-in-law (Josh Kullberg) and our best young player (Nathan Ensminger) have RNRS points to their credit! Hooray! Their names are in the spotlight! The bad news is, Brian, who drove AAAALLLLL the way from WV to introduce our young playgroup (and Tom) to pain and suffering, had his name spelled "Brain" in the rankings.

"Pinky and the Brain, Pinky and the Brain, one is a genius, the other's insane." (shakes his head and finally comes back to his senses). Yeah, I noticed that my name is spelled Brain in the standings instead of Brian. It would be fun if you could get a district in Columbus. And on the topic of those Minnnesota players, I played quite a bit in Minnesota in 2005-2006 and I can say they have a lot of great players up there, including Prof. Alstad. By the way Scheaf, nice picture of Pinky and the Brain.
-
well the reson i wanted to know was because i was at that tour too,i was the newby.well thanks ,ya i may get a play group stated and if i do would u be into coming down and helping some time(thats when i do)?

Did I ever meet you? I have no idea who you are, so if I did I'm sorry for my forgetfulness.
-
Are you pondering what Im pondering pinky?
-
To notch up the excitment for ohio, I got a snail mail letter from Joe Revesz, he's planning on having a tourny on the 20th in akron I think, it will be my first time playing(If I make it) in a tournament since who knows how long but I'm looking forward to it.

I was asking goldranger if I had ever met him, since he's been to MN tournaments (as have I, since I live in MN).
-
as 4 yoda:yes,i went there 4 a tour once.
as 4 professoralstad:ohhhh k.
-
as 4 yoda:yes,i went there 4 a tour once.
Do you know who could I contact.
-
in ohio right?if so ummm sorry i forget his name,the tour was in the cincinnati dinatos pizza. i can make a call if u want an send u a pm with the info.
-
That would be GREAT
-
Now that I am back from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (went to see parents for Thanksgiving), I can answer Prof. Alstad's question. We have met but not directly. I saw you at the District Tournament earlier this year in Roseville on March 5. You played my friend in Closed Deck and beat him and I think you went on to win it that day. My friend and I came from southwest Wisconsin (at the time I lived there) and we were the only ones from Wisconsin. We came to check out a tournament in Twin Cities and we had fun. Anyway, pray for me. I have to go to Grundy, VA for an interview for a youth ministry opening so wish me luck. There is still a chance I could end up in Indiana (south of Fort Wayne) and possibly up by Staples, MN so wish me luck.
-
yoh love aeralee I showed my mom the info and she said it was not to far so i would like to thank you i'm going to the tournement on the 9 but not shere about the 8
Who else is going?
P.S.
What is closeddeck and closed deck booster draft i think i know what booster draft is but i do not know why there is a closed deck in front of it and what is closedeck 2 pAYER
-
What is closeddeck and closed deck booster draft i think i know what booster draft is but i do not know why there is a closed deck in front of it and what is closedeck 2 pAYER
Closed Deck simply means that you do not pre-construct your deck like in Type 1 and Type 2. Closed Deck 2 player is also known as Sealed Deck, where each person gets one starter deck and three booster packs of their choice. They then proceed to make a deck out of the cards they want in their deck, and play just like in Type 1-2player.
-
O I'm stupid I thought they called that some thing else DA me
(as i hit my head on the desk hard)
-
ummm i think im going there the 8th and the 9th(its up in the air), we r staying at the church for the night.
-
we r staying at the church for the night.
???
-
Attention: Cinci host/s and players
A grandma had today just bought two starter decks to bring with her from NY to Cinci to give her grandkids for Christmas. I had promised to give her contact details for a person or persons who can help teach he game to them. Thinktank?
-
If I get to come to tournament to the District in Franklin next Friday (which right now I have plans to), I will probably stay the night at the church there as well so you have one more more that will be joining the others.
-
we r staying at the church for the night.
???
ya some people (i think most) r staying at the church for the night.there is no way my dad would take me 2 hours away,get me,take me,and get me.lol. ;)
-
What's the itinerary? What is being played Friday night vs. Saturday day?
-
ummm i think its just closed stuff on friday and every thing else on saturday.go to i think its myspace/redemptionccg.com there is all the info or the tour page there is a link to it.
-
Are they going to do type 1 2player and type 1 multiplayer at different times on Saturday or at the same time because I was going to do both of those on Saturday?
-
I think one right after another.
-
go to i think its myspace/redemptionccg.com there is all the info or the tour page there is a link to it.
-
even if did go there and look that still was a good question.
-
I hope it's not like an all-day all-day thing, because if I go, I'd have to leave no later than 4, and I'd hate to miss out on those RNRS points after I smoke all y'all.
-
it ends at 6pm
-
yeah, but that doesn't really mean much, because multi takes longer and I would only play 2p.
-
yeah, but that doesn't really mean much, because multi takes longer and I would only play 2p.
then look out, i'll be playing t1 2p too.
-
Look out everyone The Schaef will be playing so be on your guard (I played The Schaef for fun back in October and he beat me but it was still a great match. Thanks again for the great match Schaef!)
-
I also forgot to mention....I will be bringing a ton of cards to trade with so if anyone is looking for something, I might have it. I am looking for a few as well. Most of all, I just want to have fun. I have not played Booster Draft since July when I was still in Wisconsin and I am dying to play it again!
-
maybe it was just luck but back in my first tourney i beat him!!!.......with site lock out.it was luck.lol. ;D
-
dun dun dun
-
You beat me? Or you beat goldranger? Because as many can tell you, beating me is no tall feat. ;)
-
That is good.

-

-
The Bryants are actually from the Cleveland area, and to my knowledge, not even The Priests have brought them out of retirement as yet.
-
yoda my comment was teasing scheaf cuz he aint really tall.
-
hey actually it has been pulling us out of retirement :P who knows when we might pop up out of nowhere?
-
DUN DUN DUN
-
hey actually it has been pulling us out of retirement :P who knows when we might pop up out of nowhere?
I've had two tournaments in Columbus already. Where were you guys? Yeah, thought so. Don't just sing it, bring it. :p
-
lol didn't you see us hovering in the shadows?? maybe we're at better at being invisble then i thought :o
-
who are you caling little
-
little? As in short? The scheaf. (no offense is meant.)
-
Offense? What, I don't know I'm short? ;)
-
Haha! Unless you ruled munchkin land :p then you'd be a giant.
-
By the way, I am hosting a tournament today and tomarrow in Franklin, OH. Hope to see some of you there. As for a State tournament, Schaef, you and I need to talk about possibly putting it together. My aspirations are to bring Nationals to Ohio sometime in the next three years with some ideas up my sleeves (card or shirt)! Post me back or maybe I will just see you at the tournament...
-
See you there.

One Day, i'll have to come to one of the Ohio Tournies....I'm about 3hrs away from you guys....First i'd like to make sure I'd have a tourny deck able to compete...I might borrow one of my bro's michigan t-shirts and wear it under my miami sweathood for good luck!!!haha
Daniel
;D
-
I have yet to buy any priests packs, I'm looking at a tournament in akron on the 20th tho. It's pretty close and I wanna see if I can still hang with the best of 'um.
In a nutshell is it possible to have a competitive deck without any preist cards? I'm still playing purple/white/black
-
Yes. Just be prepared to have to work a little harder for your wins. :)
To the Franklin folk, sorry I was unable to attend. My wife learned of my plans and forbade me, which is probably best because I had to work last night. I'm exploring whether we can survive financially without that second job, though, so I can maybe quit and not have to worry about these scheduling conflicts.
uth, I am still very interested in working together to build up Ohio tournaments and bring nats back here. Feel free to email, PM or IM me, or I can even PM you my cell # if you want.
-
As for me, I was not able to attend this weekend either. I had to stay home as well. My wife's family was putting up the Christmas decorations on Saturday (which it actually was fun) so I was not able to come. I learned of it on Thursday so I had to stay behind. Sorry I was not able to attend, maybe next time. I would like to know how it went though.

travis(franklin,oh) is trying to get a nats to ohio!!
-
I know. He just posted that a few posts up. That's why I got in touch with him about it.
-
WOW!!!i so didnt see that!!*gasp!!!!*im like my mom!!!!!
-
So your gonna get to a turny Jer? Bout time. :-p.
-
it wouln't be that hard to bring nats to ohio
-
No, it wouldn't. Great town, international airport, plenty for visitors to do, dedicated hosts, central location, it's got everything. We just suffer from logistical issues. :'(
-
We just suffer from logistical issues. :'(
??? What do you mean? ???
-
Securing a location large enough to hold bigger tournaments. Our church is sufficient for our locals, but we can't really host more than a dozen comfortably in that small building.
-
There's places we could rent in Columbus and Cincinnati.
-
Renting costs money. We can rent any kind of hall you want, if you tell everybody on this board and all of your local friends not to shop anywhere else other than my store. And probably not even then. That's why we're exploring churches, etc.
-
I never thought of that!
-
I also don't relish the thought of having to charge my kids for the tournaments, especially the local ones. So renting is off the table, as far as Tom and I are concerned. Maybe uthminister can swing it, I don't know.
-
lol.it would be sweet if it was at a place a lil' closer to bellefontaine but i like it there. ;)
if i lived closer id go there for youthgroup.
-
Thanks for the compliment...but I do think we have the facilities to host a "bigger" tournament. We have a full size gym, lots of restroom facilities, plenty of resturants close (even hotels for the real big tournaments), a kitchen we could serve food and drink from easily, and plenty of extra space for people to hang out, trade, and just relax. I really think we could pull off a stellar event here in Middletown. I admit it is not centralized like Columbus but at least it's not Cincinnati...LOL! What do you think Schaef? Also I have an idea about something I we (our playgroup) is calling the "Masters of Redemption Tournament". It would be a one time only tournament that incorporated anyone nationwide who wanted to play and would include every category of play. The prize would be 1 of every card variation ever printed. It would likely be an expensive entry fee since we would likely use it as a fundraiser for a foreign mission trip. We were thinking $100 per person with a cap of 64 players. Every player would participate in all six categories of play for a set number of rounds and the player with the top score after all six categories would be crowned the Masters of Redemption champion! We have the cards for the prize and we have the facilities for the tournament, but I want everyone's feedback on this tournament. It would be non-sanctioned since the format is different and since every promo Cactus could possibly offer would be part of the prize. The only thing I think might be interesting is if we could somehow get Cactus to come up with a promo for this one time event only. What do you think?
-
i love that idea but i would never be able to aford it.it $35 for gass down there,and $100 for a person.but it would be sweet!!!
-
eh I doubt You'd get many. I haven't seen many people who are good in t1 and t2 :-p
-
I like the idea. I think that you should at least offer a set of promos for that event though. Cause at $100 a pop, you need to at least get something. Probably at least $50 worth of cards in promos. This just coming from a noobie though, so take it as you will. Just my 4cents.
Daniel
;D
-
My main issue is the level of "rawrg serious must win!" competition on it. I'm a very laid back player and believe fun<>winning...thatd be an issue with it....
-
What is
"rawrg serious must win!"
?
-
with 100 dollars entry fee and that BIG of a prize up for grabs? 99% if not ALL people there will be set in a MUST WIN! seriously competitive mindset Imo.
-
True, but if there were a promo or promos that could only be attained at this tournament, would that make it less of a must win? I understand what you are saying though, but like the Faithful Servant card and the money invested to receive it, this tournament would be benefiting a foreign mission effort, not paying for the big prize because I personally own the cards and will be donating them to the tournament. Would that make any difference...
-
I really like the idea, and I agree with RR that this would be a very competitive tourny. I'm a laid back player myself, so the other guys won't effect me that much. I do think though that 100 bucks is too much for the tourny, in my opinion. I don't know the value of all the cards, but in comparison, to win a regional tourny (Cincy for example), you get a $7000 trip to Hawaii, and the entry fee is only 10bucks.
Daniel
;D
-
In comparison to what?
-
You win a $7000 trip to Hawaii if you win a Regional Tournament of Redemption in Cincy...wow, sign me up! LOL
-
Was compare'n this "tourny of champions" to a regional madden tourny. Basically trying to compare the costs for the rewards.
Daniel
;D
-
i think u should need to pre order a ticket for this.and a promo is sent with the ticket.then u get a promo or more for showing up(with a ticket),and if u went with the ticket idea i think it should be like $50.
-
I'm just thinking from a businessman standpoint. How much does it cost to go to the nationals tourny? If your other tourny is more than the nationals, I would think it costs too much. I do like the idea of a tourny of champions though, but with $100 a pop and being located in Ohio, i think most top players won't be there. If it was cheaper with the same prize, then I think you'd get a better pool of the top players.
Daniel
;D
-
So how about $50 a player? Would that be worth it...you know...for top players to make the trip?
-
$50 seems to me like a pretty fair price. And that's come'n from some1 in WV. So my trip wouldn't be that long anyway. But I really do like the idea, and with $50 as the price, i think it would be a fair deal.
Daniel
-
I really appreciate your ideas about the tournament. Does anyone else have ideas about the tournament that would make it better and more appealing to more players?
-
a promo and a chance to win every card for $50. I'm in!
-
I'm not because I will probly get quite a few people "Upset" for purposfuly ruining thier shot to win (its what i do)
-
A bit "overconfident" are we?
-
not really. Ask guardian. In t2 i'd end up probly timing out alot....I use 5 anb,Hurs,recur cards.....
-
So does that mean that I would get more people to play if I banned you from the tournament than if I allowed you to play? ;D
-
Doubtfuly :p most people aren't keen on others being banneded without good reason :p
-
I really appreciate your ideas about the tournament. Does anyone else have ideas about the tournament that would make it better and more appealing to more players?
ya with a new rule:every body named Jessy wins!!!lol.but really it sounds good to me.i cant guaranty that id be there,it depends on when.
-
who is hosting a state in Ohio.
-
Well I put in an application to have it on March 17th, but by the looks of the new post of the Cactus site I will have to re-apply for a later date.
-
dude I told you it was too early in the year
-
Yeah, you were right man! What is up with the tiny font ??? :o
-
he was whispering Oo; And whoa scheaf said DUDE >.>
-
dude is my proper name! Gnarly, huh?
-
Gnarly !! (said while bobbing my head)
-
So what day in April or May will be good for an Ohio State Tournament? Any suggestions Schaef? Any suggestions everyone else?
-
May 26 would be good, but I'm not sure if a Memorial Day Saturday would drive attendance up or down. Perhaps the following Saturday, June 2?
If you're able to schedule it after many schools let out for the summer, that also factors in to the crowd you're likely to draw.
-

That would be good.
-
Well, May 26th will be a good candidate for the State...however the Regional could be scheduled for after school lets out (assuming we get the bid for the regional). I think I will submit the May 26th date for State after I check with the church's event coordinator to make sure there are no conflicts.
-
I'm still concerned about its close time to a holiday.
-
How do people celebrate Memorial Day? I have never really ever done anything out of the ordinary on that "holiday". Do any of you guys have plans for that weekend? I think a four day weekend would be perfect for this tournament, but it could just be me. After all Schaef, you have proven to be right more times than not so far (1 right / 0 wrong)!
-
Better mark this day on your calendar, then ;)
Honestly, I'm not certain. It just strikes me as a time when a lot of people do stuff with their families and such.
Don't get me wrong, if you do it, I'll be there with bells on.
Unless my family has something going on. :)
It's probably a question better asked of members who have hosted states, and what kind of scheduling issues they have had around that time of year.
-
Haveing a four day tournement would be cool.
-
How do people celebrate Memorial Day?
well,my bro marches in a parade for memorial day.this is a big day for my grandpa or for my town really.there has been alot of people from around here that has lost people in wars.my great grandma would decorate graves on M.day.so we go and see her burial place.So i would not be able to go then,i dont think i can go no matter the day.
-
wait, I missed something, what part of Ohio is going to have the state tourney and what are the proposed dates?
-
Travis is aiming to have it out in the Middletown area or possibly Cincinnati, currently aiming at Memorial Day, though I'm trying to nudge him towards a date during summer break. I don't have the resources or the location to put up a competing bid at the moment, so I figure it's better to try and help him get a good setup and then put the weight of the Columbus playgroup behind that.
-
His name is not Travis it's DUDE.
-
His name is not Travis it's DUDE.
James,lol.
-
His name is not Travis it's DUDE.
James,lol.
??? ??? ??? ???
-
nvm, ;) .my type A is march 10th at 1:00 vineyard fellowship,OH.ALL beginners welcome,you dont need any experience at all!!!(look at cactus for more info.)
by the way,who here would make it to lowis town for a over night tourney??(like a district or something???)i was thinking of having somthing at the son center(if i could get them to let me)(this is the place where they have the real hell every year).its a good building for such a thing.if i did do any thing like this it would be awile away.
-
District Tourney confirmed for March 24, 9am.
Also, YLA, I might travel up to your Type A tournament next weekend. If there's anything I can do to lend a hand, let me know. I will probably also bring some product.
-
thanks man,u're welcome to come but there may not be that many people here this time.
lets see,there is:Joshia and his 2 cousins,maybe Caleb,Travis and like 2 others he is bringing,Logan and his lil bro,maybe one other.ur welcome to play too,but maybe not use ur best deck(more like a starter).that would be maybe 11 if u play,for sure 6 people.if u could try to bring beginners too that would be great,they don't have to be "beginners".more like little experienced players or players with starter decks if they have experience.
thanks,
AFI-guy
-
Has anyone heard from Travis I have not yeard from or about.(execept the post before me)
-
what do u mean over all or about my tourney????
-
Here I am...I am still trying to get some more to come that weekend! So do you still want me to bring product like you asked before, or is Schaef doing that now? Either way, I don't care.
-
How are you Doing on the Masters of Redemption?
-
Here I am...I am still trying to get some more to come that weekend! So do you still want me to bring product like you asked before, or is Schaef doing that now? Either way, I don't care.
i realy dont care either way,im going to order some threw 3 lions.(get free shipping on singles ;D )u can bring stuff too,but if scheaf is bringing stuff u dont need to.
-
What is the link to myspace when it shows you tournaments?
-
The link to myspace is the Redemption Players and Collectors myspace page I set up. As far as the MORT, it will have to be put off till next year due to no space on the currently running printsheet for our promo for the tournament. The exciting thing about that statement is that something is being printed currently/has just been printed...so let's play the waiting game!
-
It turns out I will not be attending the Type A tournament tomorrow. Travis, feel free to take all the product you want, there will be no competing salesperson there ;)
-
I head to work in about 5 minutes, manage to carry on without me.
-
I may get down to the SW corner...but it's so far....it's like near Indiana or something :P
-

bellefontaine??its like 2 1/2 hours away from indiana,oh u live up there dont u?well from there looking down,ya we're close to indiana. ;)
-
Hey J-man,
Had a blast this weekend. I didn't realize the special ability on that lost soul read that way...honest!
Travis

Hey J-dowg,

Trap'in
(yoh-guy played,uthmin. didnt say this^)
ya,that's ok.just dont go around and think u beet me or anything ;) .i had fun too.thanks again 4 coming down i know its a long hall. :)
-
What is a state tournament like?
I want to go but was just wondering.
-
It's just like the other tournaments you have been to at Crosspointe but "super sized"!
-
its the 3rd biggest tourney.by the way is this the tourney were u have a choice between cash and the booster pack prize???
-
Actually it is between the packs and a credit towards nationals, not cash! I mean I didn't receive any cash in my tournament hosts box today, so if it is cash then the mailman stole mine.
-
Are you sure you aren't thinking of Regionals? (Unless you guys do that on your own for State too, but I think Cactus only does that for Regional tournaments.)
-
Yeah, you're probably right Justin!
-
for Regional tournaments.
i think i am.there is somthing about that on the host ap. or somthing. :-\
-
Or maybe you're right Jesse :-\
-
Check out the new thred for the Ohio State Tournament for 2007!

-
Thanks to everyone who came to the District tournament in Columbus this weekend! It was a great success!
-
Hey Schaef,
Sorry we couldn't come up...we had a training thing for our youth ministry volunteer staff this weekend. I would love to talk to you about the details of the State Tournament coming up in May, so perhaps we can get together at an upcoming tournament (maybe the local in Trenton, Ohio).
Travis
-
Sounds like a plan.
-
Speaking of tournaments in ohio..There is a distirct this weekend. Many of you have posted on my other thread and that is fine. But I havent seen Jesse post there so this message is mainly for him...and anyone else that wants to come down from Bellefontaine.

-
DUN DUN DUN DUN.
-
Dude,
He is Matthew and he was at the tournament at Donatos and I believe one of mine that you were at. He is Jonathan's arch nemesis...actually it seems that Jonathan has alot of them so perhaps Matthew cannot claim exclusivity of the title...but none the less.
Travis
-
He is Jonathan's arch nemesis...actually it seems that Jonathan has alot of them so perhaps Matthew cannot claim exclusivity of the title...but none the less.
Yeah, Jonathan has a way of attracting those.
Yeah, this is matt, I came to one of your tournaments last spring?!? I think. anyway, you should come to some our tournaments. We have the state and now...*drum roll*... the midwest REGIONAL at travis's chruch in franklin here pretty soon!
-
It's so cool all these tournaments are so close.
-
ya,i kno who matt is.hes one of 4 people that came to my tourney i had a while ago.(thanks agian matthew)
-
yoh love aeralee are you going to ohio state tournament?
-
probly not,my bro is a grad. this year(alot of $ go in out),he's going to europe 4 school(lets just say alot of $$),my dads starting the truck'in biz.his gas bill is $2,000 a month.so i cant realy aford' it now.
-
Tell your bro congrad!
-

-
We will miss you at the tourney!
-
Jesse is just giving the rest of us a fighting chance by not coming... ::)
-
That's crule! But totaly TRUE.
-
So when are you guys going to pre-register for the Midwest Regionals in late July?
-
I can't go.
-
So when are you guys going to pre-register for the Midwest Regionals in late July?
whens the dead line for pre-registering??cause i maynot know if i can go till like 3 weeks before,lol.
-
Deadline has not been set, but usually it is only a week out from the tournament so that would be fine!!!
-
Good I have up to a week to talk my mom into it.
-
A week before the tournament, so you have almost two months to talk her into it.
-
A liitle help would be nice so when she brings me up if you could drop some hints.
-
so sheriff,how'd the tourney go??
-
I thought it whant very well.
-
It was a good time Jesse, sorry we missed you.
-
Can we get a report.
-
t2 report and also booster from my pov
-
I am posting a report about the tournament on the Official OHIO State Tournament thread!
-
i may not make it to regions,im going to be in Georgia on a missions trip. :'( :'(
i'll just try to make it to nat.s next year.
-
Dude...that really is great that you are going on a mission trip! We will certainly miss you, but I have a feeling God will be using you in a really incredible way. ;D
-
dude,incredible stuff happens on those things.people just come to u for prayer,and most of them doesn't kno ur w/ a missions trip or any thing.i wish i could do both.hey man,the next time u see Stevie tell him that i said we need to get together this month. ;) ;) ;)
-
So what is going 2 happen to OHIO in 08? I now I need a little more experience before I host.
-
Central Ohio is growing and still intends to hold many tournaments this season. We are also coordinating to see if a bid for the 2008 Nationals can be accomplished this year.
-
Sweet! The only thing that need work is Cincinnati and I'm not good enough to host yet, and I'm the only 1 down here.
-
NO not really. Soul Seeker ( Jonathan Greeson) and Josh Moremond are both from Cincinnati, Ben Huntsman hosts tournaments and he lived in Independance KY, which is just across the River. And Travis ( uthminister) and I both host here by Middletown ( he in Franklin and I in Trenton) Both of us are about 40 minutes away from you. You got a lot of company down here!
-
Mentioning of hosting, Matt I need you to print multiple applications for me. I went to go and sign up and realized that I have no way of printing applications to host. I would really appreciate it if you could get me a few (or four)....four tourneys is my goal.
Thanks.
-
No Problemo Senor I will do it right away!
-
now that u mention all u guys I guess we riding pretty
-
By the way Yoda, what does (Saeros) mean?
-
yoda in elvish there was a link in a post abougt your name in elvish
-
Ah, I thought that was it. You've been Brittafied!
-
what does brittafied mean?
-
I think Britta Alstad was the one to post that link She has had her name in elvish from almost the beginning if I remember right.
-
I thought it was a cool idea and its a reminder 2 make wow charcter with that name (shhhhh)
-
Interesting though, Yoda's name in Elvish is very similar to Saeron :o
-
that is AWSOME!!!!!!!!
-
so moving on I think by reading the Trenton post most of the Ohio redemption players are going.
-
Hey Jesse, come and check out some of our tournaments! we have some coming up in the next two months.
Here is the link:
http://cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=6228.0
-
I don't think Jesse has been on lately.
-
LOL,sorry "crustpope".this was sooo long ago.yep!but im back!
-
Yeaaaahh...Jesse is back on the boards and reviving a thread that has been inactive for months!
-
so uthmin.,did u check out that angel?
By the way guys,im going to talk to my paster about trying to start a playgroup again.and if so,im going to have a intro to the game sometime(I hope).it will be like a tourney/hang out/redemption fun night.
if this goes down,uthmin,u will be getting a call and i will be posting it here so all of u are welcome to come(IF!).so thanks guys.
-
I did look into the angel and they have been sold out of that booster pack for years...so I will have to go another route... ;D
-
It alwasy happens after nats..the zombification of threads process that lasts for abouta 2-3 weeks as new ( and old) people get back on the boards. By they way, what are you two talking about some angel and some packs?
-
sorry, no.we're talking about another tcg(about the angel any ways).
-
One that is unmentionable on these boards and one that I used to play in High School...blast from the past. Myself and Stevo are picking up the game again because we are realizing that the only way to introduce Redemption to the players at our local card stores is to go in with an interest in what they are already playing. You know, like the way that Paul had an understanding of the Roman culture and was able to introduce them to the Unknown God...
-
Awesome!
-
I've got a local scheduled, last Saturday of the month.
-
I'll be there! ;D
-
What categories?
I wonder if I can talk my wife into going there for our anniversary (Sep. 29th)? I think the odds are a million to one so there is a chance....
-
Just T1, really. We typically don't have the time or the attendance to offer a lot.
I might see about doing a draft for this year's Extravafesticon if there's enough interest. The Game this year is on Nov. 22nd.
-
bah, no t2 :P? Fine, fine, I'll build a t1 deck... ;D
-
I'd come up from lexington.ky but its to far for just one category. Let me know when you have a district or some multiplayer.
-
We'll try to have at least two Districts in Columbus before the state tournament season gets into gear: one in the winter and one in the spring.
-
why are all the redemption trounys in Ohio 2 hours from me??? meh! oh well good luck all
-
If all goes as planned we will be having a tournament at Ivory Tower Games (Lebanon, OHIO) after the first of the year!!!
-
that's about 2 and a half hours away lol
-
Obviously you live in the wrong part of Ohio then... ;D
-
Yay districts in 2 weeks, and Lebanon? Isn't that like somewhat close to Columbus :P. I really need to get my bruiser deck RoAized (yes it is now an official word, and if no one used before I am trademarking it, hah!) :laugh:
-
If all goes as planned we will be having a tournament at Ivory Tower Games (Lebanon, OHIO) after the first of the year!!!
has this happened yet? if not when will it be?
-
Dude...i forgot to get on here and tell the bad news. Ivory Tower went out of business, but I still am in contact with the owners through gaming stuff. Pray for the family because they really loved having the game store, but it just became too difficult in this economic downturn...
-
anyone heard of any tourneys here in ohio? I am trying to get one set up for late march or early april in trenton
-
I'm aiming for a local 3/21 and a district 4/18.
-
Let us know... the Shipwreckers may make a trip out there because our normal host is in his last semester of school...
~Marti
-
I'm aiming for a local 3/21 and a district 4/18.
Fantastic! I putting those dates in my google calendar now! I will try to bring someone up for the 21st. I will probably have a local on 3/28 maybe even 4/4 but it that depends upon how the Easter plans go because Easter is the next weekend.
-
Hey, its great to hear of some activity in OH! I would love to make it to a couple of these tournaments. If you guys are really doing these, how come none of them are listed? I need advance notice in order to plan and make it there.
Also, Jacob and I have been talking about hosting a couple tournaments this spring. It would be nice to coordinate with you guys so we don't host on the same day; we would like you guys to come to ours as much as we want to travel to yours. We could also use someone to provide product if we host a district.
It is good to hear you are back Matt!
-
It is good to hear you are back Matt!
lol, thanks, its even better to BE back. Man I have a serious Redemption itch that I need to scratch!
update on my plans. I cant do a tournament either 3/28 or 4/4 so I will shoot for the weekend after Schaef's district for either a local or a district. probably a local first.
If I have any luck I will put in for another one early in may.
BTW Has anyone put in for state or regional yet?
Also, is anyone making serious plans to go to nats this year?
-
lol, thanks, its even better to BE back. Man I have a serious Redemption itch that I need to scratch!
We're not that far away so if you want to come up for some friendly games sometime then I'm open for that.
We would really like to go to some of yours and Schaef's tournaments so the sooner you get your dates set then we can plan for it!
Also, we would like to host ourselves but we've had some trouble being able to plan 6+ weeks in advance. Is there any way that we can send in the application 3-4 weeks in advance and get approved? It would also be REALLY great if Cactus had a way to apply for tournament hosting online. We would probably be hosting more often then.
-
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

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
-
Fantastic! It would be great to meet you!
-
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.
-
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!!!
-
I will be there on saturday as long as I get over this cold.
Looking forward to meeting all you Ohio players.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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
-
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 ;D 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.
-
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 ;D (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!
-
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"!
-
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 :(
-
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.
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!
-
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 :P , at least I think I could come Memorial day weekend :P
-
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!
-
Don't underestimate the underdogs. :)
-
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?
-
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 ;D
-
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.
-
Thanks for the input the 9th it is for now. I have to apply in the next few weeks to ge the 9th so I will leave the question open for a while longer. "Someone in Ohio" that sounds ominous. I would like to know anything you got on that rumor front, especialy if it came from a source other that Jonathan!
-
Cool! I look forward to meeting you at the next tourney!

The rumor for midwest regionals is that they will be held on the 26-27th of June so if you hold KY state then, I will probably not attend. If we do a regionals, that is the only weekend we can do it in June. I will let you know more when it becomes official.

Hmm... I'm hoping to be able attend midwest regionals if there in Ohio. So I will be leaning toward KY States 19-20 but I still have to coordinate that with Mark.
-
Alright, I have submitted for Regional on June 26th-27th here at Crosspointe. In other related news I have also submitted for a local on June 13th to be held here at Crosspointe and we will have the Panic Demon promo if all pans out as I am expecting it to. Man it feels good to be back in the running for hosting tournaments again...
-
man, its like all of a sudden Ohio Exploded with redemption lol

Hmm... I'm hoping to be able attend midwest regionals if there in Ohio. So I will be leaning toward KY States 19-20 but I still have to coordinate that with Mark.
I completely concur. We do not want to compete with our brothers from the North, and if they get the regional June 26th-27th, then we would probably also head up that way.
As for KY states, I think that June 19th-20th is the best time to go for at this point (depending on site location availability which I'm still working on).

so does that mean KY will not host a mideast regional?
-
KY is not eligible to host a Mideast Regional...they are in the Southeast I believe. It's a moot point.
-
no.
it's eligable and in mideast
-
There is no Mideast. There is a midwest and there is an East central. Ky is in the East Central
-
uhh, mid east IS east centeral
mid = Middle
Middle=Centeral :P
-
There is no Mideast. There is a midwest and there is an East central. Ky is in the East Central
That sounds right, I was just using Raven's terminology. I should have just looked at the map to get the official wording right. Thanks Matt.
-
so does that mean KY will not host a mideast regional?
Assuming that you are talking about the East Central Regional (which KY is eligible for), then no it does not mean that we won't host one. That decision hasn't been made yet, but if we host the Regional, then it would be in July and would therefore not conflict with this.
-
Hey Matt, I might have missed this but, did you say what your schedule is for your May district tourney?
-
Hey Matt, I might have missed this but, did you say what your schedule is for your May district tourney?
No, the schedule I have back a couple pages is for the local that I just had. I havent thrown up a schedule for the district or the State Trounement yet. I will post it here and all the usual supects will get a PM with the schedule when I get around to thinking about it seriously. It will be a few weeks.

-
;D Alright!
I can't wait. I will most likely be playing T2-2 player, T2-Multiplayer, and T1 Multiplayer. My wife will probably play the same catagories with maybe sealed deck for the first event.
p.s you meant April 18th...
-
;D Alright!

Yeah me too. But I might play in type II multiplayer too. It depends upon how many are there.
p.s you meant April 18th...
Fixed. thanks ;D
-
Thanks for the input the 9th it is for now. I have to apply in the next few weeks to ge the 9th so I will leave the question open for a while longer.
Any word on if this tourney is going to happen?
-
I have bad news folks. I will likely be unable to host the Ohio State. My original dates have already been taken and I cannot use my home church to host it. I tell you all this so that if someone else is willing to host the tournament, that they can go ahead and pick up the ball that I dropped.
Sorry guys, I am still trying to find a way to get this done, but I thought I would be fair to you all and let you know that I am currently not able to host it at my church and do not have the application in yet. so if anyone else wants to do it, please go ahead.
-
What was the date we said would work for State cause I will put in for it...
-
Jacob mentioned he won't be able to run the tournament in May which is dissappointing but I hope he'll think about doing one later. I look forward to seeing you all the next couple weekends!
I think that Matt originally mentioned May 22-23rd as the date for Ohio State. I'm sure it is flexible; I think May 30th would work as well. If Matt still wanted to host it but just needed a location then maybe something could be worked out. Of course Travis will also do a good job at hosting. Either way I really hope we get it and don't hesitate to ask for help.
Happy Easter!!
-
Hey guys, after a crazy week in San Diego, I am going to then make the trek down for this tourney (April 18). Seems to be a lot of fun! Would REALLY appreciate if we can keep OH state May 22-23 but I understand if changes need to be made...take care!
-
I agree May 22-23rd is great for the OH states.
TechnoEthicist I am going to be at the April 18th tourney if you want to bring the deal I bought from you there.
-
Looking forward to seeing you all there tomorrow!
-
We can't wait! My wife will be playing seal deck! We will try to be there as early as we can.
-
Currently in houston hope to be in trenton by lunchtime...
-
Sorry to take so long to get this information to you guys.
My tournament will be held in room d-115 and because i am sure that means almos nothing to you guys i will give you a few directions.
If you are using any sort of map program it will show two entrances to the school. this however is not the case, the road through campus is one way so use the entrance on spirng vally rd. do not worry too much if yuo use the exit as an entrance as many a confused parent stilll does on ocasion.
Please park in the main lot. You can recongnise the main lot as the largest of the three on the campus. for those of you entering from the spring vally rd. entrance it will be the first lot on your left.
the school entrance you want to use is the 3 story building on the right. Redemption posters will then point you allong the way to room d115.
Hope to see you there.
deck checkin is at 8:30 am
type 1 2p starts at 9:00 am
all categorys are free but lunch is not.
thanks
-
Ok Guys, whats the plan. Does anyone have any Tournaments in the works for Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec? I mean besides me ;)
-
As has been our tradition for the past few months, we continue to host Redemption Tuesday's at Schumer's in Centerville, OH starting at 6P.M. We are in the middle of an ongoing Type-1 Tournament that will culminate at a Booster Draft including the TexP cards when they arrive. The grand prize for this lengthy tournament is a complete set of FooF and RoA cards. Come join us for all the fun at Schumer's!
Other than that, Matt, I have nothing but am willing to put something together. Perhaps we should have a tournament in December so I can use the Mary Promo in my Genealogy of Jesus deck...
-
I was going to try to host one in early to mid September ( local) and try for one every month after that. I know Jacob wants to do a Booster draft tournament sometime in sept/Oct but I dont know when. ANyone else thinking of hosting an official tournament?
btw, we need to see if Shumers is willing to put up the cost of a tournament and host a few on Tuesday nights! I would LOVE to be able to do an offical tournament up there every tuesday or every other tuesday if we could. That would be awesome!
-
Well, if you read my post we will be doing a Booster Draft but it will be unofficial and FREE...
As for hosting a tournament every Tuesday or every other; that would be sweet. I will have to talk to Schumer about it and see what he thinks.
-
I wouldnt mind hosting those tournaments or spliting the hosting with you, I just cant afford to pay for alll of them. perhaps if we talked to him and paid for the first two out of pocket to show him how what kind of response he could expect he might be willing to front the cash for the others. i would even be willing to let him keep any profit that it generated after I recouped the entry fees I would have to pay for the ones we pay for at first.
-
Ok Guys, whats the plan. Does anyone have any Tournaments in the works for Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec? I mean besides me ;)
Traditionally, we've done 2 tournaments during the fall semester of the Local or District flavor. But last year my own playgroup dwindled and the OH guys weren't traveling in the fall. So I ended up eating my shirt. At this point things are really up in the air as far as tourney here go. I'll just have to see if the playgroup revives when the new crop of students arrive.
-
The Tuesday Nights a Schumer's is really a good time. I went for the first time this week and saw a few faces of folks I played the WOW TCG with and a bunch of brend new folks too. I used to play WAY back in the day. I went to nats at Origins and it was a blast. (I know Rob Anderson has to remember getting beat by a 7-year old Adam Day!!!) <---- that was my buddies kid!!!!
It brought back fond memories of good times and I think its nothing but a good thing.
Just wanted to throw that out there. (I will have more than a starter deck next week guys...... lol)
Thanks
The Keeb
-
hey keeb good to see Schaef Finally approved your account! See you there next week.
-
YEah that is good. LOLOL
!!!
I will have binders of trade bait too. So everyone please bring your traders I have lots to catch up on.
-
As I told crustpope privately, I do no approval of any accounts on the board. Rob handles that traffic.
I haven't had time to sit down and get things squared away for scheduling and all the other stuff that goes with hosting, since we've only just moved this past weekend (the entire Storehouse is still in the back seat of my car! :o ). That said, it is my intention to fire up tournaments monthly again starting in September.
It is also my strong desire to bring the Big Local Beat Michigan Extravafesticon back for another year. So mark your calendars early and let's have a good turnout this year!
-
Actually you told me Schaef, and Rob was quick to get on approving it when I asked. I can't wait to see you guys again at Schumer's and at any other tournaments we may put together in the coming months. I am up for the Beat Michican Extravafesticon so my calendar is marked with scarlet and gray... ;D
-
We MAY or may not be at the extravafesticon...depends on how crazy things get in the next couple of months...
-
Ok so I got the cards Last night and in going through them I realized we must have traded away all of our promo Marys. So I know I am at least in the market for one of those.
-
OK Guys, I put in for two locals September 12th and September 26th
the 12th will be type 1 2 player/Multiplayer and type 2 2player and multiplayer
The 26th will be Type 1 2 player Type 2 2 player and Sealed deck and Booster.
Plan accordingly
I will be playing these in two at a time fashion paired as they are above. If fewer people come we may play more categories by doing them one at a time.
-
I got my cards. The promos are the Panic Demon and the new Goshen. The new Goshen looks nice! ( actually it looks exactly like the old Goshen but the new SA looks nice!)
Also the tournament winners are random TEP cards and THOSE look really nice. I seriously think that some of them may dissapear before the tournament :o
-
I guess y'all Ohioans can start to claim your T2 2p victories once again now that I am gone.... ::)
Kirk
-
Yeah, thanks for letting us have a chance at winning again. :P
-
Yeah, thanks for screwing up our summer, Kirk. It took us two years to move Greeson into another region, and you come along and wreck the curve for us all over again! :D
-
hey all,
I will be in the KY/OH area on Oct 3rd (probably to late to have anything then) and November 7th if someone wants to host a district then I would love to be able to see you guys. I am traveling to Asbury those weekends for a class and would love to stop by for some redemption action on my way back home.
So someone should definelty host one of those weekends! ;D
-
I will try to shoot for one on Nov 7th,
Dont forget everyone that we have a local coming up this weekend in Trenton. 9:00 AM start time we will be doing type II and Booster in the morning and Type 1 and Sealed in the afternoon.
I have also put in for a district to be helled on Oct 31st. ALL HALLOWS EVE! OoOoOoOoOoOhh!

You are awesome Matt! I should be at that one; on a semi-related note: can I stay at your house that previous Thursday before heading to downtown Cincinnati? (I keep meaning to call you but I'm kind of busy with a pregnancy.) When I call to tell you about the baby, I guess I'll ask in person. :)

-

Second two categories Type II - Multiplayer and Type I 2-player

Sorry guys, I hate to charfe for lunch, but you all eat me out of house and home and I am going broke, so I tried to make it as cheap and as varied as possible to accomodate as many as possible.
-
The tourney at Schumer's was great...we had a good turnout and the top two guys were guys who were not playing Redemption a couple months ago. Also, the store did something I had never seen before. The extra money collected (anything above their hosting fees) was put back into prizes. So at the local we received 5 packs for first, 4 packs for second, 3 packs for third, 2 packs for fourth, and everyone else received one pack all the way down to last place. Very cool idea I thought!!!
-
That is awesome. I wanted to come but Kami and I had to watch our Nephews at the last minute and I couldnt leave her alone with them :/ at least I couldnt Justify it to her..I tried..
So who won? Did Rob win it all?
-
Rob did not play cause without him it was an even number of players. Matt won and Tom came in second and I would have taken third if that was an official place in locals. We had a blast...
-
Extravafesticon is on.

Hey Matt,
Idk if your still having a tourney this weekend but I am sorry to say we won't be able to make it. Hopefully Laine and I can make it out to states or regionals in the summer.

No I sent something to your yahoo acount but you must have not received it. I hadnt seen you on here for a while so I figured that that would be the best way to contact you...but I was wrong. Oh well.

Is anyone hosting any other tournaments in Ohio or Kentucky other than Schaef and Rob?

This is a rebuilding year here at Redemption Oakdale. We probably won't be having any big tourneys here for a while, but when we do, we'd love to have you come join us :)
-
I was going to hold another district on Dec 12th but then I saw Rob's tournament at Shumers so I will probably put off holding another District until the beginning of January. Oh well, I was saving up all those Mary Christmas promo's...Guess I will have to do it next year...
-
What is the format for Dec 1rst? I think I will be there with 2 more folks.

I'd really like to, but doubt that I'll be able to travel again that soon after the holidays. If things open up, I'll let you know :)

Perri, where are you from.

Also there is a local tournament at Schumer's in Dayton on December 12th. Check out the tournament page for details here... http://www.redemption.com/red_tournament_2009.php (http://www.redemption.com/red_tournament_2009.php)

Hey, Travis, i will be there. I also plan on going there tomorrow night.

Ohio. I'll see you at the Schumer's tournament. :O

Ohio. I'll see you at the Schumer's tournament. :O
lol that much I figured, I was wondering where in Ohio. Since you are going to Schumers I assume it is somewhere near Dayton. Anyway, good to have you.
-
Matt, you have just been Perri-rolled... ;D
-
Hey, I want to thank everyone who came to the Local in Dayton today. I had a great time.
Type 1 2 Player
1st - Matt Archibald
2nd - Jonathan Pequinot
Type 2 - Multiplayer
1st Rod Stewart
2nd Matt Archibald
In 2 player it came down to a time out win. Had the game lasted 5 more minutes, I probably would have lost. But as it was I eeked out a 3-1 Time out win.
In multiplayer, the beat was pretty brutal. We ended three rounds tied at 6 points But Rod had +14 LS differential and I had +13. I made myself a target jumping out to a 3 -0-0 lead in the first round, and I got quite a bit of Dominant flow after that. But the WORST move I made was on a feat of trumpets, I declared 4 when I knew Rod had no way to block and then I gave him 4 cards. Before the Feast of Trumpets, he had a SoG, a Grapes but no EC to block. After I gave him 4 more cards, he not only had an EC to block, but he also got a Martyr so there was really no way for me to rescue against him.
ugh. I think I hate feast of Trumpets. it has done me just as much harm as it has done me good sometimes.

Matt, I will make sure to promote your touranment with the guys at Schumer's. In addition to that, I wanted to let all of you Ohio players know that for the next eight weeks we will be doing theme nights at Tuesday Night Redemption at Schumer's Baseball Cards & Comics. The schedule is as follows along with whose idea it was:
1/5/2010 // Type-2 play (Rod)
1/12/2010 // No Special Ability Lost Souls Allowed (Rick)
1/19/2010 // No Dominants Allowed (Matt)
1/26/2010 // No Humans Allowed (Steve)
2/2/2010 // Minimum of Four Offensive and Four Defensive Colors w/ Equal Number of Cards Per Brigade (Rob)
2/9/2010 // Completely New Testament Decks (Caleb)
2/16/2010 // Only Cards That At Face Value Are Characters, Enhancements, and Lost Souls (Travis)
2/23/2010 // Minimum of One Separate Card From Every Brigade Offense and Defense (Jonathan)
If players show up with decks that do not conform to the deck building rules for that night they will still be able to play, but they will not be eligible for any of the prize packs (i.e.\ TEP packs).

2/23/2010 // Minimum of One Separate Card From Every Brigade Offense and Defense (Jonathan)
PK you will have to explain some of the rules for these theme nights. For instance:
on 2/16 - If I am reading this one correctly then there can be no Arts/Doms/sites/Covenants/curses/Fortresses correct? TC Enhancements still work but its all just good guys/bad guys and their corresponding enehancements. Correct?
on 2/23/ - I am guessing that multicolored brigades dont count correct?
-
Hey Matt
2-16 That sounds correct.
2-23 This was my idea so I'll elaborate. I originally thought that multi-colored cards would count but only for one brigade per card so - you could not use Self to count as all 7 evil brigades but you could use it to account for one of your choice. However on further reflection I'm questioning this. That might make it too easy to get all the brigades in the deck; If I use Self, Lurking, Lying unto God, Torment and a duel colored demon then I only have to use 2 actual brigades in my defense which is not what I wanted. The idea was to have everyone use spread out decks.
So I think your assumption should be correct; only single color cards count to meet the requirement. Thanks for the question.
By the way, I'll probably be able to make it for the Sat. portion of your tourney and I hope to play with Rod in the Teams cat.
-
I am glad that you elaborate on your theme JP because I was a little fuzzy on what would be allowed too. I am really excited about tonight's theme since most everyone who has recently begun playing has never tried type-2 play. It should be lots of fun. The weird thing is that my type-2 deck is smaller than the type-1 decks I have been playing recently...
-
Hi Matt. Rebeccah and I plan to attend Friday night January 15 only as we have a CPR class Saturday. We will feed ourselves. Not sure if we will play Sealed/Booster. Take care, Allen

Good to hear from you Allen, We will leave the light on for you. If only a few people play on Friday we may do BOTH categories so come for as long as you can.

Night #1 (Type-2)
We had six people turn out to play Type-2. Most of the guys who have just started playing except for Rob, did not take a swing at this style of play since the number of cards they have available is still too limited. Actually two of the newer players did stick around and played a game of LotRs. As for the six who played Redemption, I (Travis) took first, Rod took second, and Caleb took thrid. Caleb beat up on Steven's new Panic Demon deck 7-3 and I took unfair advantage of a deck that I had helped to construct just a few minutes prior, beating Rob 7-1. Rod and Jonathan (a beastly opening pairing) ended at a 6-6 tie when time expired. Round two was interesting pitting me versus Caleb in which I ran away with the game 7-0. In all fairness, Caleb would have put up a much greater fight, but he chose not to go in early which allowed my deck to get set up quite heavily. Rod played Rob which ended more defniately for Rod this time reaching 7 before his opponent. Steven and Jonathan were knee deep in one of Jonathan's combos intended to discard Steven's deck when Jonathan had to leave, forfeiting the game unfortunatly. I am pretty sure Jonathan would have run away with the game had it gone the full time. Overall a good night ending with some liking Type-2 even more and some vowing never to play it again. Everyone who had a Type-2 deck ready to play received at least one TeP pack with third getting two, second getting three, etc. We will see yall next week with no special ability lost souls in your decks.
-
The weird thing is that my type-2 deck is smaller than the type-1 decks I have been playing recently...
That is when you know you are doing type 1 right!
Mor cards = more combos . That is my motto
-
Hey, not that I need the cards for winning but I thought that Steven had conceded our game (there was no doubt about the outcome) before I left giving me the win. That would have put me ahead of Caleb and maybe Rod depending on his score.
By the way, the reason I left early is I got a call from my wife that she was not feeling well and on the way to Urgent Care. It turns out that she had gallstones and had to have her gallbladder removed (at the hospital - not urgent care). Thankfully, the surgery went well and she is home healing. I don't know that she'll be well enough by Tuesday for me to come.
Matt, I also have some potential conflict for next Sat. I still hope to come but I'm praying about it and waiting on God for direction there.

Glad everything went well! I'll bet that was a crazy night and I am glad there were no serious complications.
Matt, I also have some potential conflict for next Sat. I still hope to come but I'm praying about it and waiting on God for direction there.
We will leave the light on for you just in case. Hope to see you there but I understand if there is something more urgent!
I will hope to see most of you there at Schumers this tuesday.

om new and i want to check out a tournament here in columbus but i dont know were to go on here to find when there will be one cuz i want to see what its like so if some one would tell me how to find it on here or tell me when one is that would be great
-
You would typically go here( http://www.redemption.com/red_tournament_2010.php (http://www.redemption.com/red_tournament_2010.php) ) but I checked and there are no Columbus tourneys scheduled there yet...you may want to message THE SCHAEF and see if he has any impromptu tournaments coming up...
-
Nothing yet but I might try and schedule something for February. And if I can't get my act together to do it on schedule, I'll announce an ad hoc tourney in advance.
Here's one, by the way: Extravafesticon IV - Sat. 11/27

Night 2 // No Special Ability Lost Souls
It was actually nice to play a game where a lost soul didn't set you aside or make you discard cards. Probably the nicest thing was not having a half rescued lost soul come and go; forcing you to rescue ten souls to end up with five. We had a new guy tonight, Anthony, who along with myself played with E/F starter decks for the night. We didn't win, but Anthony did come close when he played Tom ending the game with a respectable 4 lost souls. Not bad for a guy who has never played and is using a crummy starter deck. Other than that we had the usual suspects at the top of the leader boards including Rob, Rod, and Tom (I think that is right, now I am second guessing myself. If anyone was there and knows this is wrong please correct me.) Anyway, all went away with nice new TeP packs for FREE and the winners were rewarded accordingly as well with TeP packs. I am really liking this theme stuff, however we have been missing a certain Rick... ;D
Next week's theme is No Dominants...

i dont know about anyone else here in OHIO but im still waiting for info on a tournament in columbus or somewhere close to it

Schaef posted earlier that he did not know when he would host again. The only one he has down for sure was next fall during the Ohio State/Michigan game.
He may host a tournament in Columbus this year (I hope so!) but he hasn't committed either way yet.

hi Matt. Not sure i am doing this right...i so hate computers!!! Rebeccah and I will be coming to your state tournament in April. We will both play Booster Friday and then I will play T-2 Multi. Saturday we will both play T-1 2 player in morning. Afternoon I will play T1 multi and Rebeccah will play T-2 2 player. We will also play the team as a team. See you soon, Allen Collins.
-
wow! great! we will look forward to seeing you there!
-
Congrats Matt, I am sure this will be a smashing success!!! Let me know if you need me to be judgment at your tourney.
I am sure I will. Do you know when you plan on attending? and which events you want to play?
-
Hey Matt, would it be too much of an imposition to have me & my family (all 5) stay with you. If so, then let me know. I need to call you soon...when would be a good time?
-
I am at school until about 4:00. You can call me on my cell anytime after that. I will ask Kami but I dont think it would be a problem. We just have to find beds for everyone. Is Lindsay sleeping in a crib yet? Micah is still in the cradle. we also have a pack-n-play. would the three boys sleep together in the same room or would we need to separate them?
-
If I brought up a group, could we crash at the church like we did the last time we were able to come to a tourney there?
-
Absolutely. I will see what I can do about breakfast for you guys as well.

Awesome! I'm not positive that it's going to work out, but I'd say there's a 60% chance I'll be there, and a 40% chance I'll be bringing at least a couple guys with me. I'll update the percentages as I find stuff out :)

Yes. Please try to have a final number of people coming (and staying overnight) by tuesday or wednesday of that week so I can get any supplies I need for breakfast that morning.

Also, Folks, I am pretty good on all other categories, but I need to have an idea about Booster draft. How many people plan on playing booster draft? It will cost $15 (this will be with a TEP box). I have enough for about 20 people so far, but given the response, I am getting pretty concerned that I may need some more merch. Please let me know as soon as you can if you plan on playing in the Ohio State Booster Draft.
I have also thougth about having a "Brian Reid" Iron Man Tournament. What do you guys think of that?
-
I really like the idea of having the Brian Reid Iron Man Tournament, but since we are already playing one category between rounds, will that be doable? (unless of course I am reading something wrong in the schedule which is possible) I plan on being there both days and my categories of choice will be Type 1 (both styles) and Teams with Rick, but the others are open for me and I really don't care if I play any of them so use me bro!
-
If I did the Brian Reid Iron Man Tournament, then it would have to take second place to anyone needing to finish Sealed deck games. So yeah, It would get a bit crowded. Perhaps that is something i will do when I put in for Regionals.
btw. If you have a date that you really cant do for Regionals, let me know. I havent put in the Application yet. I will do that after State.
-
Hey Matt, would it be too much of an imposition to have me & my family (all 5) stay with you. If so, then let me know. I need to call you soon...when would be a good time?
wait...all 5? dont you mean all 6? or are you leaving someone behind?

no....5 didn't count me. It will be all 6. I plan to give you a call after 4 today to go over particulars. Also, I can let you know what I'm playing too.
-
If you want, I can put in for Regionals and we can go in together on responsibilities (I would cover the money)...

That would work. I dont have a problem hosting here at Trenton, I just wont have the $$ to pay for Regionals until I got the $$ from the state tournament.
-
If you host it in Ohio, I will most definately come, and I bet I could get some people from Pittsburgh to come too.

That would be pretty sweet!!!

At this point there is now a 85% chance that I'm coming. There is a 75% chance that I'll be bringing 3 guys with me as well. I'll know more on Tue.

At this point there is now a 90% chance that I'm coming. There is an 85% chance that I'll be bringing 4 guys with me as well (DJWT from here on the forum, K'Shawn, Jake, and David). This will be the first real tournament for all of these guys, so I'm glad that they'll get to have it with such a good group of people like I know will be at OH State.
-
There is now 95% chance I'll be there, and 90% chance I'll be bringing 5 guys (DJWT, K'Shawn, Jake, David, & Hyun Tae). If we leave right after school (4pm EST) and it takes 3.5 hrs to get there (7:30pm), can you wait for us to start Booster Draft?
-
Yes, we may play a round of Type II multi before you get there....
You can all stay at the church so that is no problem.
Any idea what you want for breakfast?

Hey Matt, I was hoping to play type 2 multi. It turns out that I can go tomorrow night but I do have to work during the day so I'm not sure I can make by 5:30 (the time you need to start to finish by 7:30?). This wasn't going to be a problem because you had it starting at 10:00 previously. I think I could get there by 8:00 give or take some depending on work tomorrow. Hope this works out. Looking forward to seeing everybody.
P.S. where is the post where he is 99% sure that he'll come and 95% sure that he's taking 6 guys with him? I think its like lightspeed - he keeps getting closer but not quite there
-

Well This pretty much seals the deal. We have someone who was wanting to play Type II multi so we have to abide by the schedule. I will hold off as long as I can on on starting, but we have to get people home at a reasonable time.
So far we have Mark +5 coming at 7:30
Jonathan coming at 8:00 for type II multiplayer.
I dont know what we will do but we will try to accomodate as many as possible.

Actually you have multiple people wanting to play Booster who would really appreciate you backing up the schedule by 30 mins. And since Booster is a bigger event, it would make sense to have it when the most people could be there. I'm not asking to switch the order of the events, I want Jonathan to get to play T2-multi as well. But I think it would be worth finishing a bit later to get everyone in, especially a group that has traveled over 3 hours to get there. After all if it gets too late, people can crash at the church right?
Speaking of which, as for breakfast, I'm sure that whatever you come up with will be wonderful. Beggars can't be choosers, and besides teenage guys will eat anything :) Of course I wouldn't complain if there were some cinnamon rolls.
-

I think something along that line can be arranged..... ;)
and you are right. I am leaning much harder toward jsut delaing it until you get there. Now I will have to start by 7:30 regardless. I cant wait all night. just get there as quickly and as safely as you can.
I can play all night, I got no problem with that.. I just hope others can be as flexible.... ;D
Dont forget we are also doing Sealed deck in a round robin formatt. If any of your group wants to do that as well, then they can get their games in during the type II multi rounds and during the night at the church if they want.

Man I am excited! Woo Hoo!

July 9-10 seems like a great weekend! As for KY State, I can work around whatever schedule you end up with. I could just put it on one of the other open weekends.

Thanks for the input Mark, that is very helpful

I agree on July 9-10. That would be a good weekend, I could easily get off for it.

around 4.5 to 5 hours. I did the drive for last years PA state and plan on doing it again this year. Its not bad.

cool I could prably make it to reginals this year.

July 9-10 is too close to VBS for us. I hoped we could have it at Crosspointe. If we did have it at Crosspointe, July 2-3...
Maybe I will just put in a competing bid and start the Southwest Ohio Schism of 2010...

I would be glad to have MW Regionals at either Matt's or Travis'. July 2-3 would be ok for a date, but you might run into conflicts with people having 4th of July plans.

The conflict with July 4th would be my big problem as well. Both my father and my mother in Law have birthdays on July 3rd. I can go in June but not that weekend. are there any other weekends that work out well? I really need to put in this APP asap.
-
Just go ahead and schedule it at your place. I am going to be iffy for that weekend but it is as good as any for my playgroup. Most of them can drive and those that can't live in Trenton. I will help if I am available that weekend...

Midwest Regionals will be held on July 9th and 10th.
Here is the Schedule
Friday Night - We will be playing IRONMAN in honor of Brian Reid. The cost will be $5 and the Funds will be donated to a charity in his name. Type II will start Precisely at 6:00. If it is only one round, then we will be playing seald deck early so if you plan on coming only for sealed deck, please be here no later than 8:00 just in case we play early. This should give our neighbors to the south plenty of time to get there to play Sealed.

Awww, you really like me. You really, really like me :)
By the way, any chance that you could match up T1-mp with Sealed on Fri night, instead of with Booster on Sat afternoon?
-
Dont press your luck. You can organize KY states however you want.
-
Is there any way to avoid the 2P Open Categories being matched up against each other?
-

I will think about it. I didnt consider that that might pose a problem for people. I am not sure what configuration would be better unless we switch booster and type 2 2 player aorund but putting booster up against type 1 2 player would not make me popular.
I am open to suggestions, but I get to make the final determination.
-
Is Sealed really going to take 5 rounds? Initially I'd probably think it'd be most ideal to switch the type 2's and then drop a sealed round, but I don't know if that's possible.
-
I am open to suggestions, but I get to make the final determination.
My ideal schedule:
Fri early would have T2-mp.
Fri late would have T1-mp/T2-2p.
Sat morning would have T1-2p.
Sat afternoon would have Sealed/Booster.
Sat evening would have TEAMS.
This puts the most popular events all separate, so that someone could play T2-2p, T1-2p, Booster, and TEAMS. It also gives an alternative at each time when events double for the inexperienced (T1-mp, Sealed) and the experienced (T2-2p, Booster). It gives an alternative at each time when events double for 2-player (T2, Sealed) and multi-player (T1, Booster).

I like your original schedule for midwest regionals matt. My suggestion would be to pair t2- 2player with sealed on friday night. Then everyone would get to play t1 2 player on saturday and thus avoid 2 player events being paired together.
I am hoping to make it for the whole thing, maybe get a ride down with Jonathan G if possible or drive myself if need be.
It will be really nice to see you guys and get in on the OH/KY competition again.
Looking forward to t1 multi for sure. ;)

there's a "unofficial" tournament this saturday at Mt. Shiloh Baptist Church in Cadiz, OH. Starts at 5 ends around 8 or 9. We'll just be playing type 1 - 2 player and type 1 - multiplayer i think but we will hav 1st and possibly 2nd place prizes. If you wish to come plz pm me for directions

This is the Final Schedule. It has not changed. After considering all the problems with this schedule I think that, given what I have to work around (Mark showing up late with a big crew, some people getting off work late on Friday) that this is the best for everyone. It puts the least popular category first when the fewest people will be there. It saves Booster for Saturday when EVERYONE will be there and it still gets through all the categories in a timely fashion. True it DOES make you choose between Type 1 or Type 2 2 player categories but you will all just have to deal with that because there are too many other minefields I have to dodge.
I hope everyone is not too offended and I hope that by giving you plenty of time to choose you can focus on building the decks that you want to build for the categories that you will be playing in. In a perfect world it might be different but alas that is not to be.
I would appreciate some pre-registrations if you know which categories you will be playing. I will try to drum up some prize to offer for those who pre-register.
Dont forget the Brian Reid Memorial Iron Man Tournament as well.

I plan to play t-2 multi, Sealed, t-2 2p, and booster.

what is an Iron Man tournament

what is an Iron Man tournament
Iron man is where you are given 10 of the same unique personal "souls" anyone else participating in the iron-man tournament must accept a challenge by you (and vice versa) unless A) you have already played and B) you are involved in another category of play at the moment. During your downtime, you can play a pick up type 1 - 2 player match and the loser of that game has to surrender one of his unique "souls." If you lose all 10 of your souls you are out of the tournament and the winner of the tournament is the one who A) still has at least one personal LS and B) has the most souls collected from other people. The tie breaker is the person who has the most of thier own unique personal souls.
It is a category that is often played at Nationals but, to my knowledge, has not been played at a tournament lower than that.

hmm thats sounds like it would take a really long time but would be awesomely fun

Are you going Nic and can you take me if you are because I have no other ride besides you if you go.

This is the Final Schedule.
I accept your schedule and understand you trying to accommodate many "minefields". Being a tournament host is a tough thing to do. However, neither T2-mp or Sealed are compelling events for my guys, so I think we'll probably just show up really late Fri night to do some trading and catch some sleep (or maybe some Ironman). Then on Sat, most of them will be playing T1-2p, T1-mp, and TEAMS (with a few doing Booster instead of T1-mp).
If I have guys who beg me to do Sealed deck, then I'll let you know, but for now just figure us into the Sat schedule.
-
wow really? I assumed you wanted to do sealed deck. You always have in the past. man, now I may have to re-think things because I was basing this on the idea that you would want to play sealed.
What if I switched sealed with type 2-2 player. So Friday would be all type II. Would that really bother a lot of people?
Sealed would be placed in opposite of type 1 2 player.
what do you think?
-
I would love you a lot :)

That would be ideal for me as well. The other way hardly makes it worth coming early on Friday. I hate sealed deck category.
-
I don't think it matters for me because I was going to play type 2 and sealed either way. I wouldn't normally do sealed but since I'm currently at the top for points, might as well.
I will play type 2 multi, type 1 multi, and not sure about teams ::).
-
wow really? I assumed you wanted to do sealed deck. You always have in the past. man, now I may have to re-think things because I was basing this on the idea that you would want to play sealed.
Sorry for the confusion. Some guys have played Sealed in the past, but usually just because it was up against a T2 category and they don't have T2 decks so that wasn't even an option for them. That was why I was hoping for T1-mp on Fri night (which they all play). They also all play T1-2p and TEAMS, but I figured that you were locked into Sat for those events.
As for having all T2 on Fri night, that would be fine. Again we would probably just show up for Sat, but that doesn't really change anything for us, so it's fine if it works better for others. About the only thing that would change anything for us would be if T1-2p, T1-mp, TEAMS, or Booster was on Fri night, in which case we'd head up earlier to get in on that event.
-
OK since it is not going to matter with Prof Underwood and his kids I will make Friday a type II night and switch sealed and Type II-2 player.
If you come at 6:00 you should be able to play in Both Type II categories (it will be a long night - midnight or so before we end but you could get them both in)
Sealed will square off agianst Type 1-2 player and get a drubbing but that just might make me play sealed since soo many people will probably join type 1-2 player.
I will post an updated schedule later.
-
That works for me, it gives me a chance to play all the categories that I did not play at northeast regionals.
I will be playing sealed instead of t1 2player, in light of my last place showing at NY states and my midfield showing at northeast regionals.

Matt,
Will we be able to stay at the church? One or both nights? If there is a way to stay somewhere the second night I would stay for teams but would need a teammate.
Jonathan I am thinking of driving myself down in light of how full your vehicle will be.

Jonathan I am thinking of driving myself down in light of how full your vehicle will be.
Everyone is welcome to stay at the chruch on Friday night. On Saturday it shouldnt be a problem to stay here at my house. will it just be you?

Yep it would just be me.

I might be looking for a teammate as well. This could be good for both of us :)

I would be honored to be your teammate if your still looking for one.

Hey Matt,
It looks like Al from Buffalo may be carpooling down with me. Is it possible for him to stay at your place on saturday as well?

Who is Al? do I know him?
-
Al Bauer
You may have met him at Nationals when they were held in Ohio.
-
Let me talk it over with my wife.
-
I think Jonathan has play Redemption with him more than me, so I would talk to Soul Seeker. He is middle aged and has children in there twenties.
-
He was at Ohio Nats. Al is a nice guy, around 50, with a moustache. Nice guy all around. I believe his board name is ORS1949 or something similar.

Hi Matt,
To follow-up from Tuesday, it looks like I will be able to make to the tournament this weekend. At this point, I am planning to participate in the open categories (T2-2P, T2-Multi, T1-2P, T1-Multi). If it is still OK, I would like to crash at the church on Friday night.
Lord willing, I shall see y'alls tomorrow at 6PM. Is it $5 per open category this time?
Thanks!
Rod
-
$10 entry fee for all open categories, $10 for sealed ($5 if you use a pre sleved starter deck) and 20 for Booster (although I am thinking of dropping the price on this one.)
-
Just a heads up for those who might not know to look on Cactus' page for the church address.
Trenton Church of the Nazarene
220 N. Miami Street
Trenton, OH 45067
-
$10 entry fee for all open categories, $10 for sealed ($5 if you use a pre sleved starter deck) and 20 for Booster (although I am thinking of dropping the price on this one.)
what do you mean by a pre sleved starter? It this a pre sleved starter g or h that you have or is this if we bring one of our own? cuz i do have a presleeved starter.
-
It normally would be on the event calendar also. But alas.
-
what do you mean by a pre sleved starter? It this a pre sleved starter g or h that you have or is this if we bring one of our own? cuz i do have a presleeved starter.
I have 4 g and 4 h decks that are already pre-sleved so I can accommodate up to 8 sealed players with pre-sleeved decks. I do not allow others to bring in pre-sleved decks because part of sealed deck is the randomness of getting g or h. each of my g and H decks are sleeved in identical sleeves and placed in identical boxes so you dont know which deck you will be getting. I also include an extra no SA LS if you want to build a 63 card deck and the extra sleeves to build a 63 card deck ( I have had only one person build a 63 card deck since I have begun doing this but it is there if you need it.)
With the pre-sleeved decks you only pay $5 for the packs you purchase so suppliment the starter deck.
also my Phone # is 513-292-2220 call me if you have any more questions.
I will be at the church by 4:00 and be trying to set stuff up probably by 5:00 or so If the daycare kids will let me ;) so stop on by if you get into town early!
-
i will definetly use one of your presleeved deck, considering I have 4 open g's and 1 open h hear at home. Also saving five bucks is always nice!
As long as SoG is in there! ;)
See you tonight!
-
and 20 for Booster (although I am thinking of dropping the price on this one.)
On Cactus website it says it is $15 for booster draft now is it $20?

Wow I never noticed that until now. I checked my original application to make sure I didn't put it down as a mistake and I wrote "Booster $20" so this is not my mistake. I was considereing dropping the price to $18 since I am not offereing a womens pack like I had hoped. I could alternatively offer an extra priest pack to compensate. This would give everyone one of every pack plus Tep and tin cards along with an extra priest pack (which would boost those who get a priest tin)
We can talk about it when everyone shows up on Sat. I dont think I can drop the price to 15 wiht Tep, a Tin and extra packs. but if people were REALLLY counting on $15 I think we can work something out.
-
Well I was thinking we were only going to do tins and TxP packs.
-
Well I was thinking we were only going to do tins and TxP packs.
This would be fine by me.

I would like all the packs to be added in, myself.

I would like all the packs to be added in, myself.
But would you rather pay $20 for the extra couple packs thrown in, or $15 for just the tin and TexP?
-
Just so everyone knows. I probably wont host many tournaments this coming year. I probably wont host anything above a local until after the new year and I will host Either the state or the Regional (not both...that about killed me this year)
So all you Ohio players, lets try to get some more hosts so that Travis and I dont have to carry the water. Yes I am looking at all you guys playing at Schumers every tuesday ;)
I'd also like to see Allen and Rebecca host a tournament this year. That would be cool and I'd come to that!
-
Just so everyone knows. I probably wont host many tournaments this coming year.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!??!! Seriously, I understand you stepping back a bit this next year as you've carried the load this year (after Travis carrying it last year). I also basically took this year off of hosting (only 1 tourney - KY State - all year). I'm rejuvenated though and plan on hosting a District in the fall and spring, KY State next spring, and maybe EC Regionals next summer. Hopefully your time off will work out similarly well.
In the meantime, I agree that having some other OH people hosting (Pequinot, Collins, Shyers, etc.) is a great idea :)

Ah Shyers! Yess! Pequinot seems to always be short on cash to host But I would still like to seem him host a local or two. Shyers however has all kinds of cash and nothing to spend it on! We should probably (strongly) encourage him to host some tournaments!

He is starting college in 2 weeks, so alot of that money might be going towards education now. However, he should host some. ;)

College.....Redemption tournaments......college.....REDEMPTION TOURNAMENTS....college....REDEMPTION TOURNAMENTS....
We all know where priorities should lie ;)
-
Where is he going to school anyway. Its not like it is hard to find gaming geeks at college. Perhaps he can indoctrinate some people there...!
-
He is going to Cincinnati Christian University and despite the rumors he does not have lots of cash. He has been paying me for the truck I sold him and he has a girlfriend and college that needs to be paid for...he is officially a poor college student!
-
What is he majoring in?
-
He is majoring in Bible with a focus on youth ministry...
-
He has been paying me for the truck I sold him and he has a girlfriend and college that needs to be paid for
Again I gotta point out priorities...
Transportation and love of your life.....Redemption tournaments.....truck & girl.....REDEMPTION TOURNAMENTS.....truck & girl.....REDEMPTION TOURNAMENTS :)
-
He is majoring in Bible with a focus on youth ministry...
That is fantastic!
-
i will see about hosting a tourney. but i ship out for army boot camp on jan 18 2011, so that limits my time.
-
Alright, Here we go. Time for the new Tournament Season! WooHoo!
-
yay!
-
We hosted our first inpromptu tournament of the season at Schumer's last night doing booster draft with TeP, Disciples, and Angel Wars super packs along with the usual packs. A bunch of cool new cards were opened along with some old favorites. The most suprising element of the draft was the Guardian that was passed around like a no special ability lost soul until someone was stuck with it. Obviously no one was Ultra drafting and were there to win. Speaking of winners, Tom took first and Rick took second place with Matt and Rob taking a tie for third and me bringing up the rear. They got to open more Disciples packs as their winnings so everyone was happy and got to see a bunch of new cards that they had not previously seen...
-
Guess this means I need to start filling the schedule again.
-
That's great travis. awesome!
-
any more ohio tournaments?
Beat michigan extrafestication?
-
Guess this means I need to start filling the schedule again.
So are you doing your annual OH State tourney? Anyone have any plans for tourneys coming up?
-
hey every body(love in the voice),CAN U PLEASE HOST MORE TOURS IN OHIO PLEASE!?(angelice voice:)thats if u live in Ohio.
They just had a regional tourney a few months ago! ;)
Were you there?
-
Seriously? We re necroposting from 6 years ago? lol
-
any more ohio tournaments?
Beat michigan extrafestication?
I don't really have a locale at the moment. The church started holding Saturday services so...
-
Travis Brown has mentioned to our local Dayton playgroup that he is planning on hosting a tournament on the first Sat. of the month from Jan. to June. Except Jan. will be on the second Sat. 8th? to allow people to sober up. Since it is not posted yet, I wanted to give people a heads up.
Looking forward to Ohio tournaments again and seeing everyone. I still hope some others can add to that list.
-
Travis Brown has mentioned to our local Dayton playgroup that he is planning on hosting a tournament on the first Sat. of the month from Jan. to June.
Awesome!!! Hopefully I'll be able to bring a group up sometime :)
-
The tentative schedule will be as follows...
January 8 -- Local Tournament @ Schumer's
February 5 -- Local Tournament @ Schumer's
March 5 -- Local Tournament @ Schumer's
April 16 -- District Tournament @ Crosspointe
May 13-14 -- State Tournament @ Crosspointe
June 3-4 -- Regional Tournament @ Crosspointe
Obviously the State and Regional are up to Rob, but I would love to host them this year!
-
Now I dont have an excuse...I HAVE to get a deck together now lol
-
i think it's cool that this thread started in 2006 and it is still going on. i guess you never know when you will make a historic post ::)
-
helps having three or four solid tournament hosts in the same state.
-

Agreed. The job that Schaef, Uthminister, and Crustpope have done in OH over the last 5 years is absolutely amazing. In that amount of time, OH has:
Hosted countless local & district tourneys at multiple locations throughout the state
Hosted a state tourney all 5 years
Hosted a MW Regional tourney 4 out of 5 years (I think)
Hosted a National tourney 1 year
Hosted "The Storehouse", which is the largest collection in the world of free cards for new playgroups
Trained the current reigning world champion of T1-2p
Congratulations to you guys. I don't know any state outside of MN that can compete with that.
-
I was thinking "when did we not host MW regionals" and then I remebered that someone in Illinois hosted it one year I think...
Having three solid tournament hosts is good but I am sure I can speak for the other two when I say we could use twice that number easily! We all envision the day when there are at least 6 solid hosts each hosting major tournaments on a rotating schedule here in Ohio. I know last year I nearly got burnt out and now I am having a hard time keeping up with competitive decks because I took half a year off.
-
You oughta come to Schumer's some time and see the new crop of players there. I think that Tom could easily be a T1-2P National contender and Rick is a deck building genius who also has National contention in his future. Matt and Rob are no chumps either, although Rob will be leaving for the Army at the beginning of the new year. Rod and Jonathan who have always been great players continue to hold their own as well. I am just so pround of our guys and the way they have stepped up their game. If you want to both get your hands on some of the new cards each week (prizes for everyone) and have a chance to play some top notch guys, Schumer's is your place to be on Tuesday nights at 6P.M.!
-
Well, if they start showing up at these Saturday tournaments in '11, maybe we'll get to see what they can do.
-
That is the plan... ;D 8) :-*
-
How did the booster draft go at the tournament?
-
helps having three or four solid tournament hosts in the same state.

Who might that be?
-
Greeson, also known as Soul Seeker
-
Booster Draft went great. Alan Collins took first place and Dylan Roe took second place.
-
What time did you guys get done?
-
We finished about 6 or 6:30...somewhere around there.
-
oh well. I had to be at my nephews b-day party at 5:30 so I coudn't have stayed anyway
-
Tournament this weekend...February 5th at Schumer's again. It will be the same schedule as the last tournament with Type-1 2-player going first at 11:00A.M.. This time however instead of Booster Draft we will have teams so get your teams decks ready for some great competition. The more teams the better!!! Oh, and the promo for the tournament will be Spirit as a Dove and registration will be only $5 per category.
-
Also we will be doing a Superbowl Party / Booster Draft as well at Crosspointe this weekend. The Draft will cost either $5 a person or you can bring something to munch on or drink to share during the game. Either way, I hope you will join us this weekend for a full two days of Redemption fun! The tournament will be unofficial so there will be no promos or RNRS points, but you will get 9 packs for the entry fee (cash or food/drink).
-
I won't be able to make this one; I'm tied down with commitments here in town.
-
oh wow, this sounds promising!
-
Should be lots of fun!!! Sorry we won't get to see you this weekend Schaef.
-
I have put in for a district on April 2nd. I will be offereing the 5 open categories. type 2 categories will be offered on Friday night and the type 1 categories will be offered on Satruday. If you need to spend the night at the church you are more than welcome. Cost is $5 for entry fee.
-
Alright...breaking news from the Ohio Tournaments thread.
Along with Matt's District Tournament on the first weekend of April we will be putting in for and hosting the following tournaments:
April 16th District Tournament @ Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH
May 13th-14th State Tournament @ Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH
June 10th-11th Regional Tournament @ Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH
The details will be posted on the Cactus Tournaments page shortly for the above tournaments.
Also, don't forget our tournament at Schumer's in Dayton, OH this Saturday, March 5th starting at 11:00A.M.
We will be offering Type-1 2-Player first and Sealed Deck second.
-
April 16th is my birthday...the jury is still out as to whether I will be able to attend that one or not....
-
May 13th-14th State Tournament @ Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH
June 10th-11th Regional Tournament @ Crosspointe Church of Christ in Franklin, OH
Bummer. The State is right after all the students leave after graduation, and the Regional is right before they return for Summer School. I thought we tried to get input from each other regarding the timing of these big tourneys each summer?
-
State and regionals are both after I get out from school so maybe I will be able to come to one or both.
-
Bummer Mark. maybe we should try to have a district around the time your students get back to make up for it?
@ alex, that is great! we would love to have you
-
Hey Mark, I'm not sure what Travis' reasons are for those particular weekends so I don't know if it could be changed. Maybe he didn't think to ask since you hadn't been able to be up as much and hadn't had as many players in the last 2 years.
Regardless, it is always nice to get back together with all our Ohio (and honorary Ohio) players; hope it can work out to see you guys at some point.
-

I'm hoping this is possible :)
Maybe he didn't think to ask since you hadn't been able to be up as much and hadn't had as many players in the last 2 years.
We actually don't usually get to make it up that way until the spring semester, so this year's pretty normal in that regard. However, you are right that we've been down in numbers the last couple years. However, this year we actually have a surprisingly strong playgroup. Drew and Andy Wills have continued to just get better, and some of our newer players like David and Ian are progressing quickly. On top of that Michael Saucedo is back, who some of you might remember as being a wunderkind back when he played a few years ago. We also have several other less experienced players who aren't as good yet, but are enthusiastic about the game and are having a lot of fun with it :)
Regardless, it is always nice to get back together with all our Ohio (and honorary Ohio) players; hope it can work out to see you guys at some point.
Thanks for the compliment. I'm really looking forward to seeing all you guys as well :)

And here I thought he was talking about me. :P I was hoping that was an open invitation. ;)
-
I am open to suggestions. I have had tunnel vision with the local playgroup and my church schedule that I have not even considered others. My bad! I sent you a PM Mark, so hopefully we can get a consensus and have dates that work for everyone.

PM replied to. Thanks for considering switching, I hope it works out :)
-
I have put up two changes; one that Mark wanted and one that was necessary for my own schedule. The changes may be as follows.
The District could be moved to April 23rd.
The Regional could be moved to June 17th-18th.
Commence discussion on whether or not these changes are better for the whole Ohio/Kentucky group or not. Likely these changes, if they do not conflict with any other events happening at Crosspointe, will need to stick though. I appologize for not getting everyone involved initially. It is costing me a bunch of extra work because of my own shortsightedness. Let that be a lesson to all of us and never repeat my error again...or at least try not to. ;D
-
Obviously I'm in favor of said changes. I hope it works out well for everyone else as well :)
-
I am fine with said changes as well.
-
Any word on whether these changes are going to take place? Am I really going to have a district on my birthday or do I have to settle for the local yesterday for my birthday redemption tournament? ;)
-
The changes are official! Happy Birthday Matt!
-
I know this is really early to ask but... Do they have Regionals scheduled out yet like the times to each category?
-
I am sure he does not yet have the schedule for Regionals but if you PM him I am sure he would be willing to get it posted asap.
April will be busy for me. I have a district on April 1/2 a state on the 16th and another district on the 23rd.
-

Ok, so the Midwest Regionals is going to be June 17th and 18th yes?
I just want to make sure before I book airfare.

Just a warning: Midwest Regionals is no cake walk. I heard they had quite the attendance of some headliners last year .
-
Thats ok, I'm pretty bad at this game anyway - I just throw cards that match colors onto the table and hope cool things happen.
I'm more going for the fellowship than anything.

I think the reigning T2 champ can take whatever we dish out. But regardless, I'll look forward to finally meeting him in person, and having that fun and fellowship he's talking about :)
-

Hey I thought I was the only one who did that!?!
I'm more going for the fellowship than anything.
This we have plenty of!
Last year we were blessed with Ron Sias and Gabe Isbell, two former Nats champs. Aside from them you would have to contend with the guy who placed 4th in T1 multi, T2-2 player and 5th in type 2-multi at last years nats.....Hes a beast... the best guy to never win anything...Just sayin!
-
Who knows, we might even get Kirk and his entourage.
-
Hey Guys,
I'm booking airfare for the Midwest Regional - Could I get some info on schedule and lodging options please?
-
Worse case you can shack up with me. I got room in my house and I live about 20 minutes away. If kirk comes in he will probably shack up with travis. Jon greeson may come in and he ususally stays at my house but i would still have room for you even if his whole family comes in.
I dont know about specifics on events and such so I cant say that but I could pick you up from either dayton or cvg (cincinnati) but I cant pick you up until the afternoon so if you fly in during hte morning you may be waiting for a while
-
Matt, you can pretty much (Lord willing) count me in (and likely Laurie too). The kids are the ones that I'm not sure about.
Also, the favor will be gladly returned if you come visit me...err....play at the NY state tournament.
-
I should hope so ;) My trip to NY state is dependant upon when you schedule the tournament and what my class schedule looks like this summer but I want to come.
I have three rooms for people if and laurie take up one and John takes up another I gt room for one more in the basement...of course that is where the projector/big screen with cable and dvd is located sooooo maybe someone would prefer that one instead of the traditonal guest room...
-
It is tentative due to waiting on the official website announcement, but I have a topic in tournaments about it (NY 2011).
However, to make your life easier: it is set for May 6/7. Friday deck check in is like 7 PM and tournament starts at 8 PM. You could leave around noon on Friday and still start the first round on time. I was trying to make it easy on everyone traveling.
-
I will be making an entirely separate thread for the MIdwest Regionals today so stay tuned...
-
If anyone is interested there is a local tournament at Mt. Shiloh Baptist in Cadiz, OH. June 4 starting at 1. Just type 1-2 player. So come and get a Pithom. lol
-
I would love to come but that is quite a drive for me here in cicninnatti. I hope you have a lot of success though!
-
Three hours isn't that bad for me. I will see if I have any takers on a road trip.
-

In that case we'd love to have you (and any takers) come join us at KY State tournament a week from Fri (April 15th) :)
-
Is anyone planning on going to either the KY state on April 15/16 or the TN state on May 7th? I would love to hitch a ride if I can. I just cant drive their by myself because gas is to crazy right now.
-
Yea Guys
we got to get to them kentucky foothills in coal mining country.
For real though, I get scared when i go into those mountains for some reason...spooky
Im going but it was a crazy experiance last time because i thought i was lost in Daniel Boone State Park but then I saw the city of Hope, Kentucky- I knew everything was going to be alright.
-
Our community egg hunt is on the 16th...otherwise I would most certainly make the trip Mark. :'(

Yeah, the mountains are really quite lovely once you get used to them. Not as beautiful as the rolling hills and horse farms of central KY, but better for rock climbing if you're into that stuff :)

We'll miss you, but I hope you find a lot of eggs :)

Will anyone actualy post when you are going to have a stupid tourny?!

I think Fyero is going to host a Local on June 4th in Cadiz OH and the promo will be Pithom... If thats what you mean.

Will anyone actualy post when you are going to have a stupid tourny?!
Yeah, a little research into this thread and you can find at least four recent tournaments announced. one is up by you and three are down here in the Cincinnati area.
Just saying maybe you should look before you start griping at people.

Hey Souron, your signature is "Oh Yeah!" By chance did you think that the battering ram looks like an armored Cool-aide man. That is great if so...

Wanted to resurrect this thread for old times sake...
And I wanted to give you all an update on a tournament I held at NWOCYC this past Friday after teaching almost 20 kids how to play Redemption.
***DETAILS***
We had summer camp at the Northwestern Ohio Christian Youth Camp (NWOCYC) this past week. I went with the intent to teach about 10 kids how to play Redemption and took enough product (starter decks, deck boxes, sleeves, card storage boxes, and packs) to give everyone a deck and some stuff to keep their cards distinct from each other. The deal was that when they played games (not when they won but just when they played) they would receive unopened packs.
1st game >> 2 Unlimited and 2 Prophets packs
2nd game >> 1 Patriarchs and 1 Apostles pack
3rd game >> 1 Angel Wars and 1 Priests pack
4th game >> 1 Kings and one Disciples pack
5th game >> 1 TeP pack
All ten decks were claimed by the second day and I had to get a hold of Chris Bany to ship me out another box of starters that were all gone by the end of the week. I was able to teach around 20 kids and a couple of parents how to play the game during the course of the week with the help of Jake and Dakota (two teen guys in my youth group who have been playing for a little while now). As a big finale of the week we had an impromptu tournament on Friday afternoon an had 16 kids sign up to play (all new players as of that week). They had a really good time and were able to walk away with a new game that they really enjoy at no cost to them. I will be sending off starter decks to the guys this week so that they can teach a couple of their friends back home how to play along with some more incentives for teaching others how to play. I love getting to share the game of Redemption with people and expanding the Kingdom of God.

Dude that is awesome
