ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't it be 1850? Then it could have been good Adepticon practice
ReplyDeleteIt is a good prep for adepticon with just 150 more points. :)
ReplyDeleteOne question - regarding the "best per bracket", will we be looking at a primary/secondary/tertiary objective style a la NOVA missions? Or will there be some other way to determine the strongest win? It'd have to get fairly nitpicky to pick the best of... what... 4-5 wins per category?
ReplyDeleteNormally I'm not interested in tournaments, but this one... this is something that I'd like to support one way or another... and having prizes in each tier is a far better incentive than the normal 'winner take all'.
Sigh... guess I'll have to work on a new 2k list then, won't I?
Yes you will Foodie! I look forward to you being a part. The missions are in process. I have written them but am waiting for the team to approve and make suggestions. There will be Primary, Secondary, and Teritiary Objectives like Nova that change each round. So no matter whether you win or loose, it all counts. The idea is that there is such thing as an ugly win. This ensures that every person is eligible for great prizes.
ReplyDeleteI as well prefer a little lower than 2k, but that will not stop me from showing up and kicking butt. I am looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteYou had to make me bust out a Waaaagh didn't you?
ReplyDeleteWelp I ended the 11th company tournament 5-1 in the top bracket time to give it another try in this tourney. See you guys in a few months.
ReplyDeleteNice! We look forward to all of you! Don't forget to register!
ReplyDeleteI'll be there(probably losing left and right), not a horrible trip from cincy/dayton.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Dethron and the other guys will make the trip as well.
Will be good to see you DFM. Havent heard from Dethron quite yet but do have some confirmations of some other internet personalities. :)
ReplyDeleteGetting more signups each day. Please register to hold your spot!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is just me, but I tried on both of my computers, and there is just a blank where the link should be for paypal. I use firefox. I had to find another computer that had internet explorer to get it to work. Didn't know if there was anything you guys could do about that.
ReplyDeleteHeh, if I can scrounge up the time off, I'll give your wolves a whupp'n.
ReplyDeleteDa Warboss,
ReplyDeleteI am running the event, but I would love to get a game in with you Friday night or sometime during the event. Please come down, we would love to have you.
To All,
I have a confirmation that Adam Tricola FRom Deluxions of Grandeur is our first Internet Celebrity to confirm. I will do a write on him in the next few days. This is one of only 3 players to beat my wolves at the Nova out of 14 games.
