Any of you forum-flies (Barfly) attending the ARMADA Regionals at the FFG Game Center in a couple weeks?

I'm booked to go, but realized I scheduled the trip way too tight, and am considering rescheduling depending on cool people being around...I reserve the right to determine your coolness based off my strict Coolness Code developed over the years.

So, lets get on with it, who can/will be around Thursday and/or Friday 26-27MAY?

We can do the AhMayDuhs or we can do whatever. Right now I'm testing the waters to see if rescheduling is worth it.

Thanks dudes! And if you don't even give a care, greeblehaul ya way to a new topic.

Yeah...right.

Not 20 minutes after I right this I am asked if I can support some testing...on Thursday and Friday...

No luck at all I tell ya. /longsigh

But hey, not all is lost. I'm still down to close the place Saturday. WHOSE WITH MEH!?

Soz my hard rocking amigos.

I might see if I can make the trip down for the day, but work would prevent me from comming Thursday or Friday. It would be cool to see you there though!

Boom.

I also know Zigward will be there.

Raises hand.

I predict that this event will produce the long awaited duel...you me...last table...crushing ourselves to 2nd & 3rd.

Raises hand.

Can't wait!

Trying to convince fiancé it's worth it. Lol I'm trying.

Of course it's worth it!

Have you tried using the force yet? Begging? Pleading? The droids she's looking for?

Already negotiating fun time? Heheh, never met the dude. After he's married, probably never will.

Glasses up boys...to Altahara!...to how we knew him! /drink

I'll be there! So excited!

Planning on being there with either an untested list, or a list I know better but am bored with.

I would highly recommend you command what you are used to flying. Familiarity will really help once you get game tired (rounds 3 and 4).

I have a few lists I really want to try, but I'm waiting until after regionals are over.

It looks like we'll have over 28 people. That means at least four rounds. Woot!

I'm making the trip.

Where you coming from? Somewhere in middle America?

Between the locals and those coming in for it ... I wouldn't be surprised if we hit 50.

Nebraska, so it's not *too* bad of a drive. There's also a bunch of new breweries in Minneapolis, so I'd be lying if I said I was making the drive SOLELY for Armada... it's just MOSTLY for Armada.

Right. Somewhere in the middle o' 'merica. Omaha, perhaps.

I am bringing a list I've never played before and therefore not following my own (or everyone else's) advice but I figure I can play good lists any day of the week. If I'm traveling to the mothership to play I might as well bring something stupid.

FFG! Prepare tables for stupid!

If you need me to sign your permission slip to enter I'm pretty sure the constitution or bill of rights or something says I can do that.

Ha! Nothing but Jumpmasters lands high on the "did he seriously bring that" and "did he seriously buy that" scales. Not only will opponents puzzle over the Intel spam, they'll be disgusted by the amount of RV packs you bought. But no, I don't I'll score as highly on those scales. I didn't even mention the nonsensical upgrades.

Eight Aggressors is pretty strong, and therefore only scores well in the "did he seriously buy that" category. Still a powerfully silly list though!

No mine will be bad in that I will try not to take popular things and of course I will not have practiced once with it, like every other tourney I've been to.

Is there any other way to play in a tournament? You can make a lot of brand new lists on a 6 hour drive and a night at the pub. Some of the crappier ones even start to sound pretty good if you think about them long enough... 5 VSDs with Motti... that could work, right?
