Korrosion Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm pretty sure there is a meet up calendar or something some where that Gruesome (hint hint, nudge, nudge) has a link to so we can estimate how many tables we'll need...

beowulfthehunter Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I plan to show, I feel like getting in some practice. Would anyone have an issue if I proxied in a Judge model, I own a ton of guild, but not enough to constitute a starter box. The other option is my Outcasts, but I want a change.

I can't speak for the TO but, in my opinion, I don't think that would be a problem as the regulars at the WD are a pretty laid back sort. If it is an issue, I will lend you a judge model from my Dead Justice box. Hope to see you all this Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abraxus04 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think I might be bringing Guild as well. I'd seriously love to bring my wife's Yan Lo proxy crew but I don't think she would part with the new shiny for a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem, and as Tek mentioned, we might have some that you can borrow. If my son is using his Sonnia or Hoffman, he will likely not need his judge. ---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ---------- I think I might be bringing Guild as well.

abraxus04 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yeah she really outdid herself on finding representative models and the paint jobs look better up close. Played against it last night and it is really nice for ressers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrosion Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I looking forward to this! I hope we can gather enough players to blow Kevin's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Getting close... By the RSVPs and conversations/emails I have had, beginners are going to outnumber "vets" by a good sized margin. So if anyone has been looking for a good chance to try out a tournament without being worried about facing "power gamers", this is shaping up to be a great opportunity. Of the "veteran" players coming, I happen to know that none of them are "that guy" anyway, so expect the vets to be helpful and friendly. (Except Korrosion... He kicks dogs, steals candy from children and uses Collodi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassylady Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I wish I could make an appearance! Sounds like a great tourney! But I'll be there in spirit as my YanLo crew may be making its debut Hopefully you all enjoy it as much as I did. I'm really looking forward to his release! I saw really good synergy with the crew. Have fun this weekend!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrosion Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Good times were had! Dirty guild (justice) stealing the win like that from that poor innocent Victoria. :-) I took some of the photo's (the good ones) while Gruesome took the ones that are blurry or out of focus :Hiding_Puppet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our Indianapolis brethren, I hope your next journey is less fraught with issues. Your presence was appreciated. (Varakov and "Indy") Also thanks to Ratty for having the tourney software for use. Once Korrosion and I went through the export format, we were able to do hand-edits of the pairings to handle drop outs and byes and then re-import the desired pairings, so it really handled all our needs. Photos of stuff to come... Edited December 2, 2012 by Gruesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
