hi Guys,

as I wrote in the Stalechk thread should be funny repeat the experience we had some month ago.

A European tour made parallel with a Usa one. Then Top 4 USA will fight against TOP 4 Europe.

This should be a great occasion to test together new Baratheon Core Set and current Cycle Brotherhood.

What do you think?

Waiting your response.

I'm in of course.

Online top 4 I am assuming? Not GenCon vs. Staleck? A play-in type thing?

I know I am not on OCTGN yet, but Erick and Dobbs are. Not sure on our Alec/Alex (I am horrible w/ names as everyone knows...not a good quality for a bank CEO I have been told).

My idea was a brand new tournament like we had in the past. So not necessarely Staleck against Gencon.

A tourney with swiss rounds and at the end Top 4 Europe against Top 4 USA.

Alec just contacted me via facebook about a "very final".

The problem is that we have one title and "you" have 3 and we always considered that true champion was the overhall one, in this case Erick.

Should be fun also a mini tourney between only top 4 Gencon against top 4 Stahleck. So there is no distinction with "title".

Waiting response of all players.

You don´t want to use the original deck from the tornaments? Just my wto cents but for me this would make more sense, because in gaining the top spots the decks is as important as the player.

Thogh I admitt the Us players would have a limited cardpool, and everybody knew the others decks, but still it would be more like the countinuation of the original tornaments.

Anyway: I´m very excited to see the results ;)

PS. Gualdo congratulaions for the win, and thanks for the report that shows how well deserved it was!

Oh I Thought it´s all about Joust . Because for us germans it´s still the Kings format.

thx for the nice comment!!!

I think Top 4 joust European classification against Overhall Champ USA, Joust Champ, Melee Champ and 2nd joust Champ USA.

About the decks let us listen the other players that eventually will be involved.

I would like to play in an online tourney of some sort.

Sounds good - doubt I will have the time to figure out the OCTGN2 in time, but a great idea and it would be great to see how it works.

No offense against Erick, who is most likely the best US player no matter what the measuring stick, but 99.9% of aGoT players believe the Joust champion is the actual champion. ~Just because FFG likes to throw the Melee down our necks doesn't mean we have to like it. He will win it someday regardless :)

~And yes, I did mean offense against Zeiler. I don't want that guy representing the US in anything except listening to crappy pop music... gran_risa.gif

Since I started playing everyone when anyone mentioned Gen Con Champion of "aGoT World Champion" they always referred to the Joust Champion. To be honest I never even knew there was an "overall champion" until this year when people talked about it on the boards.

Many people play Melee as more of a fun time than something to be truly "competitive" about.

I'd love to play in another online tourney. Just tell me when...gran_risa.gif

I will open this thread also in spanish, french and italian forum (for european people). I will contact Jonhatan if he wants to organize USA side and I will organize European side.

In the meantime please write your name and your nationality (if outside both USA and Europe choose in which timezone you want to play).

Ps related to the match with Alec, we will arragne somenthing ;-)

~Who did end up taking 2nd in the Gencon Joust anyways???

Count me in for the new tourney.... I'd love to do another online world tourney.

As far as doing a Staleck vs. Gencon final show down, I think it would be best to do top 4 joust vs. top 4 joust. We can play with the same decks, or with new ones. ~I'm not sure which puts me at a bigger disadvantage lengua.gif.

That really cool guy from California. I think it was Cha0s? I'm pretty sure there were no other cool people from California at GenCon.

I support the idea of using the same decks as we did at our respective Tournaments. It's like the Thrones version of the Superbowl. GenCon and Stahleck were just very complicated semi-finals.

And Andrea, we'll probably have to work it out so we have at least some witnesses from both sides of the Atlantic - just to make sure there aren't two simultaneous "I WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP" posts at the same time. ;-D

I've always been interested in playing on OCTA, but so far have avoided any tournaments because of the censorship rules. In order to play with new(er) cards, one has to have the actual physical cards on hand to refer to during the match or another site with the full card statistics open at the same time. Then one has to constantly refer back to the actual cards anytime one of the censored ones are played. That just seems too hectic and creates a NPE for me. This is not a problem for any of you guys who have participated in such matches? Or do you all just have the cards memorized already?

I'd definitely participate in an OCTGN tournament.

I would also be very eager to participate!

I'm sorry about this problem and I understand it. Unluckly this is an agreement I had with FFG to be able to continue to publish here the plugin. If you have a scanner you can scan your card and I can explain you how to change the censored with your own one.

Count me in! I would be glad to represent France in this tourney ( I'm Lyonel Lannister on french board).

Just tell me if i have to re-install the whole thing or if my old OCTGN version would be fine .

Thx Gualdo

Very kind of you, Gualdo. I have sent you an e-mail to the address you provided above. No need to apologize on your part. I fully understand about your agreement with FFG.

I feel I must set the record straight: Deathjester got 2nd Place in the Joust at Gencon. He is a much better player than I am (but I am the really cool one!!!).

I will throw my hat into the ring for the next tournament. Look forward to playing with the rest of the field.

very sorry to say i'm going to have to pass on this OCTGN tournament -- real life has been infringing on my AGOT time in a serious way lately.

~and sheesh, guys, another US/europe OCTGN championship? we had one of those just six months ago and the only guy who even came close to beating me was a *canadian!* :-P

speaking of whom, where has zsa gone? :-(

I miss zsa too :-(

hey I'm up for an octgn tourney!
