I know that you're waiting for a player oh great sage and eminent Junkie, but will this tournement be before the break ends? I would like that.

Your Dark Tower references are neat.

But yeah, it will be before break is over. But Im going to schedule around the survivor events, so it wont be tomorrow.

Ace said in his PM he was going to sign up for the tournament, but Im not sure if he was going to post in this thread or just wanted me to put him on, and I dont know what formats he wants to compete in.

Plus, I would really like to have an even number in both formats, Its going to be hard to do the T2 one with 5 instead of 6 people.

We will wait to see what the future holds, Gunslinger.

Hmm I would also think that anytime near the 1st would be bad, I know I have family Junk on the 31st and 1st. Maybe sometime on the evening of the 1st would be cool. I know my parents will be very difficult to work with because they always want the phone. Ahh, I hope I can play, I have cool decks planned for the Tournements.

How about the 2nd? Is that good for everyone? This way no one has a hangover and can play well.

Bube · 12-31-2003, 01:37 PM

Our time difference is at least 7 hours. How will we get together?

BTW, I come home only at weekends and wednesdays. I can't play any other way. Sorry for the trouble...

ahh *sighs* I just leaned how to play MTG from my friend. he's good, won a few competitions. I beat him once or twice, but I'm nowhere near his level of expertise(considering he has 1,000+ cards and started playing 3 0r 4 years ago, and I just started 2 or 3 weeks ago). I mainly use a white creature deck. i'm gonna try to build a good blue deck,my buddy killed me with that thing, and maybe a red or a green(more likely red, because it focuses on heavy hitting)....don't have any money, tho.
maybe i could make it. what time, tho? and how?
oh well, that's how the mana pool is tapped.......

Ok, I was planning on doing this the 2nd of January. But, due to recent discoveries, I have to reconsider.

[EDIT] CHECK MY LAST POST ON THIS THREAD FOR THE TOURNAMENT TIMES. THEY DIFFER FROM WHAT WAS IN YOUR PM's.

Your a little late getting to this...but I'll give you a chance. Go download this program: Apprentice, and download the "Oracle" patch also located at this site.

Since you just started playing, Im going to assume that you play using newer cards, so I am going to put you in the Type II tournament. Type I is full. This will make 6 people in each tournament, double elimination style.

Ok, Yugi, you have until 1:00 PM January 3rd Est Time to reply to this message, saying that you have apprentice downloaded and ready to compete. If you do not reply by then, I will assume you are not going to compete and you will not be able too.

In case you dont know, Type II is a format of tournament, in which only the last 5 sets are legal to play with: Onslaught, Legions, Scourge, 8 Edition, and Mirrodin. If you want to know what cards are legal, when you download apprentice, just open the "Deck Editor" and apply a "Type II" filter.

Remember, 1:00 PM Jan. 3rd Est. Time.

Be there, or be square.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Ok. Ive decided that putting an actual date and time on this thing is stupid and pointless. it will not work out for everyone. So, the tournament begins as soon as Yugi confirms to me that he is either in or out. The tournament will last for as long as it takes to play the damn thing.

As soon as I find out whether Yugi is in or out, Im going to make a bracet. When you are online at the same time the person your supposed to play against is, play your games.

You will do the best out of three in all of your games. Then you will report the winner, and I will update the bracets. Dont procrastinate, play your matches as soon as you see your opponet online.

Keep checking back here for the bracets.

By doing this instead of actually making a set time, things will move MUCH more smoothly, and if everything goes according to plan, we will be finished before Christmas Break is over.

[edit] if your not a very acitive member on GameTavern, and you dont feel like logging on constantly to see if your opponent is on, just contact me and I will set up a time for your match.

Hey everyone in the tournements here is my e-mail address: Moogledude85@hotmail.com

That's for my MSN. Just if you have to play me contact me through that.

Coolness.

Josh · 01-02-2004, 05:51 PM

You know that's a good idea.

My email is fallingtides@hotmail.com

I use MSN also so if you are up to play me... or just want to talk, message me.

Vampyr · 01-02-2004, 06:15 PM

My IM ID's are in my user profile.

The bracets for the tournament are up. Go here , and start playing!

THE GAMES HAVE BEGUN!

TheSlyMoogle · 01-02-2004, 08:24 PM

I don't understand why we couldn't go ahead and play either Type one or two? I don't see how that matters. Besides we won't be able to really get the Type Two going until tomorrow because you don't know the whole Yugi situation, and bube isn't home until the weekend. Hmm.

I dont know. I just thought it would be easier and less confusing if we did one at once. I guess we could do both at the same time, it would take less time, but you would have to report who won, and for what tournament you won in. I'll update the post in the other thread.

So...just to confirm it, both tourneys are on now.

TheSlyMoogle · 01-03-2004, 01:22 AM

Ahh reporting who won. Reminds me of my first and only chess tournement so far. Ahh... Chess.

Whoo Hoo! Well I guess the tournement will start tomorrow.
