Clousseau Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 A new deck is always useful. Putting up Santana for the marker's prize should make everyone put a lot of effort into their wagon, but she could be considered a more valuable prize than the deck (or anything else you could offer). It is, after all, a wargaming tournament, so the 'best' prize should perhaps go to the best player (over the weekend). Just my initial thoughts. Personally I'm playing for the craich.

Malandres Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I thought about putting her up for first place but thought it would make people really work on their markers That and I want everyone to be able to compete for her and some people will not be playing top tier/played long enough to really challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Puppet Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Making a supply wagon fit on a 50mm base is hard! Also, where is everyone and why has some noob called cancelled signed up twice? .... oh, wait... umm so about that supply wagon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 There is a HIGH chance this could be cancelled by the end of the week due to cancellations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Puppet Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hmmm, so what's going on to cause so many cancellations then? Down to 8 players remaining at the moment... not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clousseau Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Could do with a top 8 finish... Seriously though, 8 players is enough (as proved at BotCh earlier this year). If it does get cancelled I'll be down for some games anyway. Got me some Wardens to try out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If it stays at 8 (mike could be cancelling) then it will still be going ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Puppet Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If it stays at 8 (mike could be cancelling) then it will still be going ahead I sure hope so. What's caused the drop outs then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Plimmer Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi Can we confirm as soon as possible if still going ahead as other things can be organised.Bit non plused now as from original entry there is now a max of 4 who I can't play locally. Cheers Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 As long as numbers stay the same it will go ahead. Drop outs have been work, time, money etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakes1066 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I take it this is a joke? People have booked time off work on Friday to drive down, hotels are paid for and wives have been charmed to get a pass for the weekend. It would be a shame if it does get cancelled but it looks like I will be in Plymouth for the weekend anyway. Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm going ahead with it regardless of numbers now, the latest cancellation is due to an operation date. Looks like 1 (maybe 3 locals), 1 Milton Keynes, 4 Wales now! So between 6 and 8. ---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ---------- Prizes are; Last - Wooden Spoon 1st - Retro Deck Markers - Santana (if she arrives in time, if not I'll post it to Marker winner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakes1066 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Does that mean Mike is not coming? I was hoping to play someone of Malifools fame ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malandres Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm going to have to cancel, another cancellation takes us to silly low numbers.

shakes1066 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Anyone know anything good to do in Plymouth for a weekend then, as I have a non refundable hotel booked? Otherwise any one fancy a great weekend of Malifaux down south, if so join up now and confirm to Malandres and maybe we can get this thing back on. Luke.

Clousseau Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm also down for the weekend, though I suppose my wife might now have plans for me on Sunday. Anyway let's head to the Giants Lair for some impromptu gaming. Fancy trying out some gencon story strategies, or having a bonkers 60SS brawl, or something!

Malandres Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'll be there Saturday, we could put a couple of boards together and have a huge fight and also maybe an arena of death, we all put a master on the board and unleash hell.

shakes1066 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 You only need 6 players to run the tournament as it was, just means everyone plays the others once and you don't play swiss. I would prefer to play a tournament over two days even with a low turn out if we are traveling all that way. I would not cancel it as you have 4 from out of town who cannot cancel which means you only need two confirms locally or even play yourself if it is such a low turnout. Luke.

Malandres Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I have 5 and 2 maybes, sadly the maybes can only confirm on the day, I will have things planned for the Saturday and you guys will have your tournament fees refunded.

Gav, Luke and myself are still coming down regardless. I'm still a bit shocked at the number of drop outs but hey, it's Malifaux... bad things happen! ---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ---------- You only need 6 players to run the tournament as it was, just means everyone plays the others once and you don't play swiss.

I have to say that I agree completely with Luke. I would rather we ran the tournament with only 6 players than not at all. It's not easy juggling real life to get the chance to go away and play with toys for a weekend. So, as we're locked into coming anyway (or losing a not insignificant amount of money on our hotel accomodation), it would be preferable to attend for the original purpose.

Malandres Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I will still be cancelling, I shall be there on Saturday still to play some games and as David said, try some GenCon encounters. I can only apologise about the non-refundable hotels, as I know how much of a pain it is :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clousseau Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Are we all on for a curry or something Saturday night? My hotel is apparently near the town centre (Plymouth Hoe) and I have permission to go out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
