After more than 10 years not posting in this thread.....

After almost 15 years this old man has faithfully prayed for and waited....the comeback of the Southwest playgroup with a bang as the son of the former main host of this stronghold carries on with the tradition hosting States and Regionals at the very church where great Redemption jedi were born including our beloved Tim E who has come back with a vengeance from when he rested from the game when he was barely a teen. See Kurt H (and perhaps his dad, one of our founding Redemption jedi) at Nats2025!!!

Also expect my nephew Reggie F (NEast Regionals champ in the mid 2000's) who became popular during his Redemption days (now 32) to visit or even participate. I will never forget his famous saying --- "Redemption Gamers never quit...they just go on hiatus". My other nephew Christian F (now 30 & was a 2-time back-to-back Nats T1-2player top 3) is coming as well!!! Who knows all my 32-ish family members who all played Redemption in the mid 2000's wud wake up from hiatus altogether one day soon!

I am a witness to how a great number Redemption jedi (eg. Jake  A, Joe S, Rob M, Marc V, Chris G, Tucker M, etc.) could share their testimony on how they themselves have returned after their long hiatus. Praise be to our God who created Redemption to live forever thru his instrument Rob Anderson!!!

Bug I've noticed: Cloud of Witnesses AB (the fortress) has alignment set to "evil"

For Hotels, my recommendation for those who need it is to select one that is near the Valley Mall at the intersection of I-81 and Halfway Blvd. This area has several options for accommodations and quick access to restaurants and grocery store locations. There are also a few hotel options on the south end of Hagerstown (Funkstown area) off of I-70 and these also have plenty of restaurant and grocery options.

There are several hotels closer to the center of town but I do not recommend these locations. For the most part these are under $100.00 per night so you can use that as a general guide but if they aren't in the two locations I noted I would steer clear of them.

Check with me regarding my unlisted haves.

TOP PRIORITY is to complete my rotation SET CARDS. I prefer trading for cards in my wants lists that are in 'black font color'.  Those must make up at least 80-90% of my trading partner's share of cards, as possible (100% preferred).

Bugs:

• Cloud of Witnesses AB alignment
• Determine if Type column should contain the second identity with cards that "Begin as" the first identity. For instance, Magicians' Staves Type should potentially just be Artifact and Whirlwind/Everlasting Ground Type should potentially just be GE, New Jerusalem/Bride of Christ -> just Site, Babylon/The Harlot -> just Site. Currently Doubt (LoC) is only a Dominant, Nebuchadnezzar (PoC) is only an EC, etc.
• Spacing on Suicidal Swine Stampede (GoC) Type
• Church of Christ has "Cloud" Class
• Standardize brigades on dual icon characters/enhancements (parentheses, slashes, etc.)
• Remove "Good"/"Evil" from brigades on Sychar, Bethlehem (LoC), Zion, Hebron, City of Refuge, Saul/Paul, City of Enoch, Babel, Philistine Outpost, Ashkelon, Jerusalem, Samaria, Ninevah, Damascus (LoC/Promo), Sodom & Gomorrah, Raamses
• Epicurean Philosophers spelling of "Areopagus"
