Hey all,

Who all is going? I'm going to be there - probably the only Boston player. I booked my flight today, and will be arriving around 1:45 PM on the 10th. If anyone wants to start playing pick-up games around then, let me know at kyle period szklenski at gmail period com.

P.S. What the devil should I play?

P.P.S. I tried getting my registration for it, but the website keeps not accepting my CC number. I hate this website. I know it's all good - I just ordered other stuff with the same card, and there's no messages for me talking about it being locked or anything, so it should all be good...except for their check-out process. Argh!

I'll be there. And this time I won't even be playing a troll deck!

I'll be there, but I'm not yet sure when I'll be arriving. Once I know if I can get Friday off, I'll know whether I'll be there for Friday night amusements or not. I'll definitely be there for Saturday Joust.

As far as what you should play, if you're looking for something original and fun, wait until Mathias Fricot sees this thread. He's always got great ideas.

As far as what is going to be the winning deck-type, your guess is as good as mine, but I'll stick with Martell Summer and/or Maester, maybe with Prince's Plans, until some other archetype dethrones it.

I think at least one person from Thunder Bay will be driving down, sadly it won't be me.

I will also be there

I'm going to be there and pretty sure I'll be the only Australian there. Have only been playing for about a month. I'll be there on Friday and will head in to the Event centre for some social play.

I'll be there for joust.

I will be there! No idea whatever what I will be playing. Something untested and crappy.

When is the dang Lanni box coming out!!!!!!!???????

I *believe* I heard winter, 2011. Man, I'm jonesing for it too though, so much. If it were out at the time, I could definitely build a strong deck. As it stands, all I have is a machine deck that works quite well, but is not particularly flexible.

i will be there as well. my flight arrives early on friday since it wasmuch cheaper to fly in the morning.

~ living 10 minutes from there... nahh, i'm gonna skip it.

i'll be there.

Is anyone else having a problem with preordering? It won't accept my debit card for some reason. I checked with my bank and they said there wasn't anything on their end. ~Yet I can't imagine FFG having any problems with their website, its always top notch!

what does evryone expect to see at days of ice and fire. based on the recent cali and iowa tournaments it looks like bara and gj are popular. martell went way down after recent restrictions. even though maester bob was no longer valid there didnt seem to be much lanni kneel. is everyone waiting for the box to play lanni again. with the new cp out, i ca see more gj players with newly made lord and the knight. will stark knights get played more with meera. targ has a good new burn mechanic with selmy. bara knights did get a boost too with the weenie who gives knights the joust key word. even though the new knight of flowers is agreed to be not as good for rush, he is new and a strong character. my prediction based entirely on 2 recent tourney reports and the new cards available we will see gj, stark, bara, targ, martell, and lanni in that order. martell could be better represented but it wasnt in iowa or cali, and sand snakes just arentstrong enough to be competitive.

I had a major problem with this recently too. Have you moved since you did your last order from the site? The reason I ask is that I had moved in between orders, and even though I gave them my new billing address on the site, they did not update it correctly and it kept thinking that I had an old address internally - there was no indication of this outwardly though.

I suspect GJ and Martell will be the top, with Bara and Stark close behind. Targ has a shot with maesters still, but I think it's weak to GJ in various builds. I want Lanni to do well, but I just don't see its tricks really killing. There's just too much that can wail on it.

Ahhhh thanks man! I'll have to check with them then.

I'll be there on Saturday at least to play in the Joust. Might be able to make it Friday or Sunday, depends on if we get help at the store.

Kyle, you should convince Nick-ler to pick you up and drive up here to the Den on Thursday night. Or not, but I somehow think I'm not going to get enough practice games in before the event.

I think I may have a ride and what not already...maybe. I'm not sure.

Anyone in MN - what was (were) the hotel(s) right by the HQ? Anyone have any info on them?

About 1-1/2 blocks away is the Radisson. It's a nice place to stay, I've been there a few times with the wife. There's a Motel 6 not to far away, and quite a few other hotels. Just about everything in Roseville is right in that little corner or just to the north of the EC. I'd try Priceline or some such for some deals.

So this doesn't seem to be as big as it was last year. I'm guessing because Martin isn't going to be there? Is the Missouri Meta really only bringing one person?

The Courtyard and Radisson are both very close. Just google hotels - Roseville MN they are all right on the same strip as the event center.

~Making...one?

Yeah, I think GRRM not coming is huge, and part of it is just bad timing and that it isn't new and shiny like last year. We will still have a ton of great players though (present company excluded).
