Hey all,
Just wondering how your support has been lately. The last time I can remember getting some good support was like the 2 chesters we had on week a long time ago. I think we've only gotta 1 lynette's for the whole group too. Is our scout holding out on us or what is going on with our support? For the past month we've had to use our scouts random promos that he is willing to part with for support! Sometimes its just characters from ages ago or ones that come in the box. Kinda makes me annoyed sometimes to even go!

Ours has been pretty good I think we got like 5 heel snipes and plenty of the demuth's and strifes which we all have tons of .

same here.

is they jsut screwing us or is our scout screwing us xD? he does have 4 of EVERYTHING 4 tiras (probably more) 4 chesters, at least 2 olcadans, 2 lynettes... and more...our play group besides him has...3 chesters, a couple revenants, 1? demuth, a couple greeds, >_>;

unfortunately there really isn't a system to check for scoutal cheats on prizes except to have the store owner request that the scout just get HIS scout pack (his cards for running things) and hold your (weekly?) event's prizes behind the register. I think I'm going to switch to this method myself so that I "1.) can't lose the support 2.) will have it for players if I can't run the event that week 3.) my players will know that I'm not stiffing them on prizes"

Keep in mind though. I'm running four events this month. I got two heel snipes and one of each character that's been out (or so). Fortunate on the double snipes (probably mis packaging). usually i don't get that lucky, but there's at least one of the things. Given that the promos are in a promo rotation for about 4 months, having 4x of these things is not uncommon for a scout (other than me as I sweeten the packages with my stuff usually. don't think I have 4 strifes ATM... or chesters )

my playgroup is out on their Air and Void patches because i haven't received them from FFG yet even though i've emailed Paul a couple times about it already... and our prize packs haven't been that great (lots of Zangiefs and Felicias and Kens, but not much of the newer stuff) so i've been swapping out some of those for better promos i've won in another venue but after swappage the prize packs aren't bad at all. we've finally gotten 1 of the league kits with foily KFT too (we've been getting nothing but the Primitive Instinct, Buddhist Devotion etc ones for months) so hopefully we'll be getting more of those now.

you know, our group will gladly take your primitive instincts and stuff, since the last stuff we got was the batch with headstrong, this weekend if I'm up in time to go to the tournament, I'll take a photo of the league support that we have been slowly picking stuff out of (people mostly take headstrong since its the only block 3 league card in the batch)

i'm not sure how much of it we have left since i've been handing out random promos to yugioh players in hopes of converting them since yugioh is dying from the UDE/Konami fued, but if we get another league kit of that stuff i'll let you know and we can work something out (my aim is Vanish Nagoya, but i've been pretty distracted by Fire Emblem lately so i may not be on much >_>)

I'd like to say you're preaching to the choir, but word I get is this ain't gonna get fixed anytime soon.

Terrible, less and less people every week. With a terrible game environment and the 1 month extension of the current block, no one wants to play. Coupled with the fact that we have had no prize support for 6 weeks now and the fact that we had 1 shimpent of SF/SNK December release and didn't get anymore till mid January... yeah... things suck. I really hope the new release next month brings my players back. Please get the product out on time.

We just got our new prize support in last week or the week before, I think. Heel Snipe, Enkidu the Valiant, the new characters, etc. And I know we got a ton of that stuff when we went to the GCC. Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't mind sending you guys some stuff to tide you over until it all gets sorted.

But it does sound fishy to me.

(btw...which of the Austin players are you? this is Wakeen from DFW)

lol im justin. i think the austin play group may be dying

MegaGeese said:

Wait MG you got enkidu valiant in normal prize support for Feb or did you march already ?

lol i dont even think our group has a heel snipe or an enkidu

Hi Justin! *waves*

I got my Enkidu and Heel Snipes from the regional support, but I know for sure we have 3 Heel Snipes in prize support, and I'm pretty sure we also have Enkidus. Can't remember. I'll find out tomorrow when we VOID PATCH!

MegaGeese said:

Just wondering because i thought that and temujin wasn't coming in until next month .

Huh. That's...weird. I don't think we have Temujin in our prize support yet, either =/

MegaGeese said:

Someone posted that on the boards a little while ago but did you get march prize support MG?

Hey MegaGeese,

did your kyoshiro deck draw inspiration from that kyoshiro deck i made for dustin during the halloween event o_O?

He played Kyoshiro? I didn't even get to see it or play against it. Boo =/

Actually, the choice to play Kyoshiro was made at the last minute. I started furiously scribbling down a decklist in the car after we left a Dairy Queen in God-Knows-Wheresville. Other than making a couple of minor adjustments once we got to the hotel and I played a game with it (against Jacob's Seong-Mina, which was a bad idea), I played that exact deck. If only I hadn't added Neo Raging Storm...sigh.

Hm...Halloween event reminds me...did I ever upload those pictures to photobucket? I got one of this diner waitress dressed as a cop. I went out and got my copy of K' and had her hold it in the exact pose on The Anti-K' for giggles. If it hadn't been for that, I probably could have gotten her number (she had this kinda "Ugh, what it wrong with you?" expression on her face afterward).

lol it was a pretty straight forward deck. holding ground, throws, cards with enhances with momemtum discard for dmg pumps, that zasalemel Response negation card and some other random dmg pumps if played correctly ( and getting the right cards out) he basically did like 20-30dmg throws easy >_<
