I'm not going to rise to the obvious ego bait.

At least you know Tapout is gonna give you a hard time in a couple of days. We don't wanna hear any whining, Brett. You're not getting away. You better take it and like it!!! JUST LIKE LAST YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to it.

It's not like you guys have any original material left as it is.

Good players lose 2 games straight to Chaos/Order/Life wall decks on turn 3 both times?

<3 Arch

You'd better rep top8 so I have someone who hasn't ever kicked my butt on a regular basis to root for. :D

It's a shame that beating me is the only thing you have to cling to in this game.

Really, you'd think you'd have done something else by now.

Oh wait, that's because you don't even play the game anymore.

Well I did some other stuff, but none of it could in any way reflect on you or your skills at the game, so I didn't feel it suited the situation.

I still 'play'... just only with some friends and some old cards since I don't have the financial means to keep up with the new sets.

Still playing with my block2 decks.

Now if I had someone with a huge collection of current set cards to mooch off of I would probably still be around the big tournaments more often... but alas food comes first.

First to Shane and crew, I too look forward to reuniting the band. Glad you guys are able to come. It would have been very different worlds experience without you guys. Also as a member of the band I'll have to think up something to sing during our match if we should happen to get paired against each other.

Second to Archimedes, It will be good to see you again at an event. However, I wouldn't worry too much about playing me top cuts as I've never made a single worlds top cut yet. Also, if you do make top cuts you better take it seriously and try to win regardless of match up this year.

Now for my "What to expect at Worlds" list:
1) As always, great times to be had both in the convention and outside it.
2) Expensive beer and days of eating out.
3) Lack of sleep, but worth it.
4) New team champions. (Though I hope I'm wrong about this =)
5) Jeremy Ray getting a little something extra in his cup again.
6) Tanner finding a way to best me somehow someway.
7) Goo having something new that both shocks and amazes me - making me rethink how I play the game.
8) Antigoth getting at least 2 people with his "all your base" deck in teams.
9) Scott Gaines calling someone while alone.
10) Jon Herr comes back after not playing since US Nationals and still top cuts.
11) Discussing with the Brits (over pints) the dynamics of US aggro and English control as it relates to our respective cultural histories.
12) Omar Chavez, Omar Chavezing.
13) Canadians.


"What not to expect at Worlds" List:
1) 100+ Card Paul Bittner deck. (Limiting myself to 99 cards max this year)
2) Chubbs keeping his clothes on. (As mentioned above)
3) James Hata winning anything.
4) A sober Ben Shoemaker.

Personal Wish list:
1) UFS House, Second team asset won in a year. (Just like Michigan did last year)
2) Finishing in top cuts this year (Singles).
3) Matt Kohls 2 dot since his card is rotating.
4) More Canadian Ketchup - I can't get enough.

To everyone I've met in the past, I look forward to seeing you all again. To everyone I've yet to meet or hang out with I hope we can do so this year. Can't wait.

Last, if any of you play Call of Cthulhu LCG bring your cards. I'll be playing that on the side as well.

we stole your canadien ketchup. we'll bring the one bottle we held hostage. we honestly had every intention of shipping it.....

but we forgot

Until I saw this I fully intended on making the comment "What as opposed to those primly dressed penguins you find at GenCon normally?"

The problem is that you are on a side of the fence , if you travelled back and forth across it you would realize there is a multitude of strong techs that can and will win games at worlds...

5+ symbols as competitively viable vs 3+ is a more balanced game.

- dut

(also it makes you feel better when you can't compete to undermine the state of play you can't partake in, i.e. there may be some bias... it really is a much fresher standard meta than it was a month ago)

As far as I've seen on the boards, it's still a one-hit wonder meta (if even due to the resurgence of decking). You just have to deal with something else (hence the symbols being shuffled around part) than before the bans.

5+ symbols being viable as opposed to 3+ doesn't matter when they all win in the same way - winning the gray war and pumping a huge attack.

That makes sense, you know, considering that this card game is based off of several fighting games, which is why Milling kinda makes no sense.

Ah well.

i like how i went from a noun to a verb in the space of 4 words, half of them repeating the other half.
