NinjaBreadMen Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Woowoo! Maybe this year I can walk away with more VP's than people who only attended one day >.< Cannot wait for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid (#ScottishMeta) Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Fixed faction same as last year? Although I did play solely with Marcus that weekend.... If there are enough attendees then a best in faction prize (even something small) would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBegbie Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Looking forward to it, great weekend last year. Will there be a wooden spoon this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKerrSmith Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 If we get enough attendees to warrant a Best in Faction prize then sure. I've already got the prizes in mind. I don't want somebody to get a prize just for being the only 1 there representing a faction. Wooden Spoon, Just for you Barry... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sounds good, I'm interested. You always run such great events. I would say get smaller prizes this year. The ones last year were awesome but they must have cost a fortune! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones last year were awesome but they must have cost a fortune! Agree. The prizes were super swank (yeah, I'm down with the lingo) but even the smallest of those trophies would have been fine for 1st place.

The prizes were super swank (yeah, I'm down with the lingo) but even the smallest of those trophies would have been fine for 1st place. I think the 5 trophies came in around £300 I think, but £100 of that was the charges for engraving onto crystal, with the custom M2E design.

GrengisKhan Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'll try and make it up for this. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKerrSmith Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 After Joe's Fortune Falls event this weekend, we've decided to change the format of the GT. Day 1 will be a 4 round competitive event Day 2 will be a 3 round Story Encounter. We've recruited / pressganged / threatened / blackmailed (delete as appropriate) Sholto to create something suitably dark and devious for us.

Euclid (#ScottishMeta) Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm so looking forward to this now. Hoping to make it to 10 games over the weekend this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthefly Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 How do I sign up? Fortune Falls was my first event and I really enjoyed it, great bunch of folk, though I'll probably only be able to do one day of the SGT. Can't wait...

iamthefly Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 That's me paid in for Sat only, there is a train home at 18:42, will I have to miss the (not my) awards if I get that train? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKerrSmith Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I wasn't planning to give out the awards until the Sunday afternoon. Results will be established pretty quickly after the final round, so if any people win a prize, who are only there 1 day, I'll make sure you get the prize before you go. It will still be a push to get you there for that train. We'll be drawing the raffle prizes during lunch as well to make sure you get the change to win stuff. Is there a later train home, if so, when is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthefly Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 It's ok, there is a later train at 20:30, we'll get that. It just means getting home after midnight, but it leaves time for dinner in Stirling. Is it a problem that the train TO Stirling arrives at about 9:43? We (me and one other) should still make it in time for the first game, right? Otherwise it means a lot of driving with intense game-brain in between.

Euclid (#ScottishMeta) Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Its a bigger problem on Sundays. I think the earliest train from Edinburgh arrives at 10:30. CGG is only a 10 minute walk at most from the station so you should be fine with that train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKerrSmith Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I have no problem holding the first game up for a few minutes to give you time to get settled in. The details of the first game and the pairings will all be sorted by then so you would just need to turn up and get your models on the board. I would appreciate you getting the later train home as it gives me a chance to get the final results sorted, prizes given out if needed and the raffle drawn. Sundays I can't do much with Joe, I don't want to have the day finish any later than needed so people aren't traveling home too late on Sunday night.

Thron Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'll be there-Malcolm. Looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I don't want anything changed. It's why I stayed in Stirling last year - much easier for games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
