There is going to be an open local on March 24th at 701 Black Rock Rd. Hanover Pa
(not too far from you Maryland players)
We will be starting at 9:00
As its the first tournament at this location I can only guess at turn out so please let me know here if you'll be coming
We will be playing the basics:
Booster (New Tins! And TXP) [$20.00]
T1-2P
T2-2P
We will be playing both 2P events at the same time, booster is being decided.
-
I should be there.
-
I should be there!
-
Brad will be coming too
-
I am attempting to make plans to be there as well. If I'm in a decent mood I might bring Drrek along too.
...eh...he can walk.

He would like that far too much, so out of the question. Now...maybe if there was freezing rain that day...hmm....
On a side note, any Maryland people want to ride up with Blake and I that day? I live in Cockeysville just off 83, making it a good stopping place. Just let me know. I could fit at least two more people comfortably in my car.

you sir have a pm ^_^
-
I now have room for one comfortably-seated person and one contortionist (or one very small person...or a very small contortionist) if any Maryland people want to ride with me from the Cockeysville area.
-
By my count at this moment we should have a turn out of at least 12 players so this will be a fairly good sized local.
I revived the materials in the mail today (finally) so just thought I'd point out that this is official and will be happening on the 24th as scheduled.
-
Sorry Jerome I won't be able to make it. I was asked to be on a work crew for a christian conference in OC.
-
Just an update on seating, I currently have 2 people who want to ride with me, and 3 people who MAY ride with me. If you want a spot from Cockeysville/Hunt Valley to and from, then send me a message ASAP, please so I can try to figure it out.
Also, if you're one of the 'maybe's, please let me know for sure soon :)
-
I've been thinking about it, and am leaning heavily toward implementing the rule changes (contacting the participants won't be an issue) but I thought I'd see how you guys feel about it?
Let me know and I'll post the final decision tonight. Thanks...
-
As others have pointed out in my conversations with them, if these are the new rules, we should get used to them quickly. A Local would be a good time.
However, I am very much opposed to rule #3 (optional dom-cap). Would like my deck to be legal without asking :)
-
There's no way I will impose #3 which I hate as well,
It will simply be a Dom for each soul if we do the new rules.
-
We will be playing with the new rules this Saturday.
-
Alright, I have 2 people confirmed riding with me from Cockeysville/Hunt Valley and one probable. If you want a ride, now's the time to make sure your spot is secured.
-
Are T1 and T22P running against each other or at separate times?
-
Are T1 and T22P running against each other or at separate times?
Good question, just noticed Multi is not listed. If that is the case, I'd also like to know if they are being run against each other to prepare :)
-
Yes, they will be running at seperate times.
-
With all due respect, that's a bad idea. Not everyone that has a t2 deck has a t1 and vice versa. They should be against each other or we are going to be there all day...we will need to leave Hanover no later than 4:30 to make it back at a decent hour...

While I understand this sentiment, and we need to work with everyone's schedule, I agree with Shawn that a lot of times there is no time for fellowship and just being together at these tournaments with the hectic pace. If some people do not play the other category (I know I would cross over for one), they can spend time in discussion and fellowship.
However, if some people have time constraints, that may have to be addressed.
-
Jerome,
I'm trying to come. I'm not sure though only because my wife has a baby u/s scheduled that day around 11am. We're trying to change it so I can come. If I do come there will be two other players with me. I'll keep you posted. If we come all three of us will prolly do T1 and the booster draft.
-
We don't have Type 2 decks yet. We're still trying to master type 1 and all the rules. Since I found the REG online I realized how much I have to learn. But you guys have been amazing thus far with giving pointers as I play you. Thanks again so much!
-
2-3 hours is quite a bit for fellowship time, which is what we would have running Type 1 and then Type 2 and then Booster. If the host wants to use this schedule (and we are the only ones constrained for time) then we should do Booster first...

I actually disagree here. If we do Booster last, we can set up for it while the last game(s) of the category before Booster are finishing up, so we can get started asap. Plus, if people need to leave during a tournament, I think doing it during Booster is a better option, since we have a habit of borrowing cards from each other (especially me... love you Brad). I'm not too picky, but I think having Booster last is less messy. That said, honestly, if we keep at it, I think we can easily knock out three categories before 4:30. That gives us 7 and a half hours, and that's manageable I think.
-
Except I'm the one bringing the supplies :P. And I have no experience to speak of for running all three back to back. It just seems silly to have a large amount of people have 2-3 hours of downtime for a few of us to play type 2 because a few people want to play both categories...Depending on the final schedule will determine what time Gretel and I show up. Because if I can get a few more hours of sleep before driving almost 2.5 hours we might just not show up until the 2nd category starts...I hate to be such a negative nancy here but this schedule design does not make any real feasible sense...
And to give you an idea of my concern, let's run some hypotheticals. Say we have 12 show up that wanted to play Type 1 2P. That's 4 rounds right there. Assuming we get started at 9am with round 1
9:00am-9:45am Round 1
9:50am-10:35am Round 2
10:40am-11:25am Round 3
11:30am-12:15 Round 4
Let's assume a 20 min lunch break and time for people to switch their decks to type 2. If there are more than 4 players that want to play type 2 then we have 3 rounds....
12:35-1:50 Round 1
1:55-2:05 Round 2
2:10-3:25 Round 3
And you haven't even boosted yet....See my concern?
-
Yeah, if T1 would be all morning, I wouldn't get there until after lunch. I'm 45 minutes away. I love you guys, but it's silly when I could be getting other stuff done. I think we're asking for efficiency; if there's time at the end we can hang out and stuffs.
-
If T1 is all morning, I will still be there with my crew (they have little choice, I'm driving :D).
We'll be there at the start no matter what the schedule is, just would like to know the format ahead of time to prepare decks :)
-
We can have time before the tournament, during lunch, and afterwards to have social time.
-
I don't care how the schedule is set up. It's my first tourney....I just want to play. Yes Jerome! I'm coming! Along with two others. My wife is coming too, but just to observe....if that's ok.
-
Of course she can come, everyone is welcome (it's a big space)
Brad let me know when is a good time to talk to you about schedualing. I think it will be faster if we just do it over the phone (I have your number still)
-
We will run T1-2P and T2-2P at the same time this weekend to make it faster.
Also let me know If you'd prefer Booster to be before or after the 2P events. (For gameplay it is nice to run it after 2P but for anyone who will want some of the new cards in there deck for 2P we would need to run it first)
I'll speak for myself. I like running it after but speaking for some friends of mine that arn't on the fourm they will need the new cards.
Thanks.
-

I do understand that sentiment, I just don't know how much the random boosters and a couple of tins will do. If the 2P are run at the same time, we could take more of a break between and let people try to add/build into what they have. I think in this case, it's up to you. I do see it played last usually, just what I've seen :)
-
I am fine with either way. And yes, we will not be in a major hurry Saturday. And if someone feels me starting to rush things they can let me know. :P Yay for new players!
-
I can say there will be at least 5 people coming that have never participated in a booster so we won't we setting any records this weekend :P
-
I'm cool with either way. I may be a little late, depending if I get my final paper for my class done on Friday night or not. Don't wait for me though. :)
-
I'm cool with it too. I'm just excited that I can finally be a part of this eventhough I may get my rearend handed to me on a silver platter....I'm game!!! LOL! ;D
-
Like Jerome said, we will have a few ppl who will buy some cards before the tournament, and add some cards to their deck that they get from the booster draft. I think we should have booster in the morning.
-
is anyone coming with an extra Damsel With Spirit of Divination?
I'm looking for one to compleate my deck before this Saturday!

If I can find mine I can lend it to you.
-
And I think I have one too, we should be able to cover you. edit: scratch that, I'm out :(
On a side note, if anyone needs to borrow cards that they know now they will need, now's the time to speak up. I bring all my cards and Brad brings his, but other people will only bring what they need :)
-
barrowing is ok, but I'd really like to trade or buy one
-
i pulled one in the booster on Saturday that i'd be willing to trade you ^_^
-
hey hey :D
ok, is there anything you were looking for?
(you can pm me if you prefer)
-
let me check then i'll send ya a pm ^_^
-
anyone have these cards I can borrow/purchase/trade for? Thanks!
Belshazzer's Banquet
Nebachadnezzar's Pride
Swift Horses
Treasures of War (possibly getting from Brad)
Magic Charms
-
What are we doing regarding the duplicate Davids ruling? If I have a David in play, can I use Sam to pull out another one or not?
-

Very good question as I'm pretty sure the deck will be used. Tournament host? :)
-
hey czepp! I may have a few of those for you. I know i have swift horses for sure that you can borrow. I'm not sure if I have the others or not. They look familiar to me. I'm bringing all my cards to the tourney anyway. I can look then to see if I have them.
-
For the record, I've already chosen my deck, so it makes no difference to me which way we go with. It is worth noting that Sam pulling out duplicates is currently the status quo, and I think we should be ruling by the status quo.
-
I haven't ignored the question just been pondering it...
-
I would answer one way or the other quickly so people have time to change their decks if they want to.

thanks man. I appreciate it!
-
no problem!
-
As of right now I am definitely going, however, I'm unsure if I'm going to be at the Booster or not. Just a heads up.
-
I will run booster, if you wish, so you can all play, by the way.
-
I forgot to ask about this and I hope that it's not too late. Do we have to register for the tournament or do we just come and compete? I couldn't find anything online about registration except if you were hosting. Please let me know. There will be a bunch of people coming with me but three definitely playing and one other possibly. Please let me know ASAP. I'm at work and can check the message board. Thanks one and all.
-
I can answer this one
You just show up with your decks and your money for registration fees. There is no preregistering required. I will make sure to have plenty of stock available should anyone need anything. I'll also have many cards that I will be including free to those that purchase cards, if you are interested.

Are you going to be there Shawn?

Yes, I am riding with Redoubter's posse.
Quick question are snacks and refreshments going to be available? Lunch locations nearby?
-
I'm actually really excited now, it's been a fair amount of time since I saw you last, since I missed the last couple Maryland tournaments.
-
Yeah looking forward to this tourney as well. I am torn between Type I or II. Debating on where I want to get my butt kicked. :)
-
If you're going to play Sam and stomp my Genesis again, you can play Type II, thanks. ;)
-
So, Techno, we can buy cards there too? Are they boosters, singles, tins? Let me know so I know how much money to bring? Is this cash only or can we do checks? Sorry, I'm new to the tourney thing. Sorry about asking so many questions.
-

Interesting thought, depends on how they are planning on ruling Sam. Although I suspect you may have other decks up your sleeve? I almost always get stomped in T2.
-
I'm definitely playing a high-tier deck of some sort or another. I'd like to play T2 but I need the T1 RNRS points.
-
I will have orders for tins (free shipping over 20.00), packs, open stock, and current starters available for sale.
Disciples (After Booster): 5.00 each or 2 for 8.00
TeP: 5.00 each or 2 for 8.00 (currently 7 available)
New FooF/RoA Tins: 14.00 each tin PREORDER ONLY or after Booster (yes I FINALLY need to order new stock)
- I do have most of the singles for sale though
Any "pack" from FooF/RoA Tins: 10.00
10th Anniversary Starters: 9.00 (G/H)
Priest's Packs-1.00
Prophets/Unlimited/Limited-.25 each or 5 for 1.00
Apostles-.50 each or 3 for 1.00
and then you can see my singles tomorrow, most are at least 25-50% off Three Lions Gaming Prices.
I will take check or cash for purchasing stock. I also will have change with me. Can't wait to see everyone!
-
Any answer on lunch plans? I kinda need to know :)
-
yeah same! My wife and father-in-law are coming to watch us play. My wife was wondering about the food situation as well. She's pregnant so she'll want some food!!!! Lol! Just let me know. Thanks!
-
sorry, haven't been at a computer all day
to answer these questions.
1: Sammy will be able to search for a character already in play >:(
2: I don't have the money to provide lunch but we can do a small collection and pick up some Little Caesars near by and bring it to the church.

Yay ;D

Wasn't expecting you to provide it, just wanted to know what my options were for food in the area. :)

There is a McDonalds, Isaac's, Wendys, Subway, Pizza Hut, and other local restaurants within a mile radius of the church. I vote for we just chip in for some pizzas.

I may end up going for Subway over pizza, but don't take offense - I'm getting over mono and some foods give me pretty bad acid reflux, so it'll depend on how brave I am.
Also, I will not be there for Booster Draft. I just got back from watching The Hunger Games, and I have no desire to get six hours of sleep. My plan is to arrive around noon, give or take a half hour or so, depending on traffic and how soon I get everything together tomorrow. If I'm not there by 1, by all means start T12P, but before that I ask for grace and patience.
-
I would like to be the first from the SusQValley player group to thank everyone who came to our first local at Hanover Wesleyan Church! We hope to have many local, district, and even states at this location. Also I want to thank Marti and Brad for helping Jerome with the majority of the judging rules. Hope everyone had a great time and I can't wait to see you all at the next tournament (hopefully my voice won't be gone so I can't actually join in conversations) lol
-
(hopefully my voice won't be gone so I can't actually join in conversations) lol
don't worry Chad, less is more ;)
glad y'all had a good time, wish I could've been there!
-
had a great time at tourney today thanks for having us ^_^
-
Great tournament. Things were a little rough there getting started, but I'm sure that more experience will help iron out the wrinkles there. I had a lot of fun, I thought the venue was good, and the pizza was good. High fives all around!

If you arrived late, how do you know that things were "rough getting started"? haha We had a little issue with the game tracker software on the computer Jerome wanted to use (Macs do not work). Other than that I say we ran smoothly and if all goes well maybe we can host a few large venues at our location.
-
Yeah, I didn't find there to be any issues today. Was a great tournament, loved seeing you guys!
-
For those of you who were there, I want to thank all of you for being so welcoming and helpful to my brother in laws and I. They were so excited to go to our first tourney. Georgie was very exited, Marti, that you helped him cut his deck. Thank you soooo much all of you! Jerome hope to play you more in person soon since we're only an hour away from each other!!! Let me know when we can get together!!!! Thanks again to all of you!

It was nice meeting you and your group. Glad to see new players and we hope you come out to more tournaments this season!
-
definitely will!!! We're only an hour from Maryland so it shouldn't be a problem unless im working.
