nilus Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 And if we can get to Wyrd HQ it would be brilliant to play guys like Nathan and Sketch, I just hope they don't hate me (and others) to the point where they're not interested I bet they would be willing to meet a group of UK players. Not sure how much Nathan actually plays but I heard rumors that sKeTcH has played upon occasion, but he cheats Your best bet would be to maybe plan around some East Coast event to try to get as many people around to meet you. PAX East, NoVA Open, Dragon Con, Templecon. Something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Go NoVA! I'm sure we could come up with some sort of tournament worthy of kings... and the UK players would be invited, too! Zing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Dragoncon is fun but not much of a gamer's con- there is a large gaming area, but last year's tournaments were Magic, The Spoils, and a couple of other games- the Blood Bowl tournament ended up being 4 people. Go for the celebs, panels, and parties, not the gaming :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Don't plan around the NOVA Open, it has really bad timing (Labor Day weekend) and no Wyrd events this year. With that said, Lucidicide and I can certainly string together a solid event to entertain ourselves while the UK/EU guys get crushed... I mean beaten with all due respect.....

Sounds like you need to start planning a US East Coast GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicpockets Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Just to bump this following chats with Nix - I'm up for confirming something for Autumn/Halloween if that works for people? I'm happy to take lead on organising the UK side and - depending on costs and likelihood - would be open to a trip to Washington to take on the NOVA guys and then a mini road trip south to get some more games in. Also, I THINK (note "THINK" only) that Nix may be able to organise the US side of things. Let me know what you think guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Live stream the games for those of us in the central to western US. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythicFOX Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Have to say I think I'll be doubtful for this one, as I'm heading to GenCon this year. All the best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Keep us Yanks in the loop on this. There might be a chance some of us might be able to get over to VA for a long weekend to meet you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunning Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Adam I think we need to get everyone on our side who is interested together so we can have a chat before we start thinking of dates. As it stands I can't commit to anything the 2nd half of this year at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucidicide Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 If Nix can't do it, I'm sure that I can. We have multiple stores that are happy to host events. I've got mad organizing skills (it seems so much less true when I say it like that). Heck, I'd imagine some people would be happy to chip in money to get some hotel rooms or whatever. I know I would. If we just connect all the right players in the Malifaux community, we shall create Voltron! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Voltron, Vehicle Voltron or Gladiator Voltron(look it up kids) I vote Lion Voltron, but only if I get to be Sven. I know way to much about Volton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdelemental Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I'd endorse the Indy, Detroit, Chicago triangle. I'm in the Detroit pile, but Toledo (on the way from Indy to Detroit, kinda) has a solid group, then up to us outside of Detroit, all ~4 hours from Indy, then to Chicago, ~5 hours from Detroit, and back to the UK from there. Chicago's crew is legendary, and the Detroit area just has the coolest guys to be found anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Lies Nilus, Lion Voltron was the only real Voltron, there were no others! The other Voltrons were made of silly putty, string, and cardboard tubes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy in Suit Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 We have a great spot to play in a store across the street from the Empire State Building - none of us have any beef with you or are much for trash talk tho :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nix Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 But the trash talk makes things more fun!!! or is that More Funner when speaking Brit-Ish Inglish? ** Wow, reading that out loud even makes me cringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy in Suit Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 is that More Funner when speaking Brit-Ish Inglish? I believe that would be 'Chav' - a sub-dialect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebeccaJo Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 The other option would be to consider a Detroit, Indy, Chicago triangle. If you are planning on coming to GenCon, I know there are some Indy players that would take you up on that offer to play some games outside of GenCon that is.

Fetid Strumpet Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah Rancor,... but then they'd have to go to Detroit... I think perhaps we should just export the awesome people, such as yourself, who live there and allow them to meet in a more picturesque local.
