1) Clip your toenails. There's nothing worse than walking sooooo much and finding your big toe poking it's head out of your sock.

2) Don't pack sandals. There's no point unless you want your toes stomped on hundreds of times.

3) Bring band-aids. You'd be amazed at the amount of blood-drawing injuries that can and WILL happen.

4) Pack a stuffed animal buddy. You'll be left out without one.

5) Take some big lollipops along. You'll need them to distract the Chubbs.

bring layered cloths. all big events are either freakishly cold, or insanely hot.

While this probably could be in the off-topic section I'll add to it:)

1) Get some **** sleep! Nothing worse then having to sleep in a car in that god forsaken land called Canada and only getting two hours of sleep. (true story)

2) Have the supply of Mountain Dew ready.

3) Have the supply of Alcohol ready for after.

4) Have some deodorant you can hand to people who forget to shower. (Again, true story)

All I got for now.

If your flying make sure you check weight and length airlines now have dumb restrictions I got charged at gencon last year.

Always room with other players you want too spend your money on drinking not 100 bucks a nite for hotel stay.

Always have a camera there will always be an epic moment at a major with our community .

YES. I am debuting my stuffed animal LLLLLEEEERRRRRROOOOYYYYYYY Lando Griffin this weekend. Stuffed animals are the win sauce!!

check leroy out right here on that link. he's gonna get every event so hype this year.

bring chewing gum.

bring your party hat and HAVE FUN.

also bring extra sleeves for your deck incase one gets messed up. DO IT NOW GET TO THE CHOPPA. it will happen one day so be prepared.

bring some of your own food if you can, it will save you so much freaking money. bring your own alcohol is the most pro move ever.

Don't forget to mention to bring an easy button along for when you beat someone you can be an ******* and push that button and laugh at their face. Or if they beat you they can push the button and make you feel misserable. Hahaha

Oh how could me and scott have forgotten you must quote DBZ/yugioh abridged lines throughout the weekend or you epic fail .

Shane. I'm bringing my Stitch stuffed animal with me to GenCon this year. The Penguin must battle the Stitch.

Don't judge me btw. The lady totally bought one for me when she went to Disney this year. Can't help but love her. =p

If your from canada dont forget the Aero bar's for the american's that will say "wtf is that....ITS AWESOME!"

DUDE EPIC!! Leroy Lando Griffin "The Purple Drank UFS Bear" def wants some pics with stitch!!!

The sleep one is VERY important. Always make sure to get plenty of sleep! Last time we traveled (GCC) I got so little sleep that halfway through the top cuts I really didn't want to play any more (not like I had a chance against Jon anyway, heh). And then later that night as we packed it in, I experienced two hysterical giggling fits that wouldn't stop for about ten minutes each.

So yeah. SLEEP, FOOL, SLEEP!

Someone already covered deodorant. Sooo...

-Always make sure you take something to drink with you before going in. Never know when you might get desperately thirsty or your mouth dry.
-As a corollary - don't forget to hit the restroom first!
-Be sure to stash away anything of value that you have to leave at the hotel (laptops, game systems, etc.). Housekeeping isn't always honest.
-Be sure to bring an alarm clock.
-Good breakfast is good - it's not necessary, but it helps out a lot, as you're not focusing on how hungry you are toward lunch.
-Bring a sharpie. You never know when you're going to want someone to sign something...and you can't rely on borrowing (or *wink* "borrowing") them from someone else or the venue (I lost about five of them at Worlds, three of which belonged to GenCon, lulz)
-Don't forget the Geese chain, boi!

Step one: Alcohol

Step two: Underpants

Step four: Profit

Also add to the list.

Make sure you know how to get to the place the event is being held in.

Make sure you know what time the event starts at.

Always have some method for keeping track of your life total (and helps to keep track of opponents life total too).

Don't bring more stuff with you than you really need, sucks hulling around a big backpack all day in a crowded room.

Always make sure your not the one who people bring the deodorant for.

Have extra cash on hand

Shower.

Bring deodorant.

step 3: sexy party.

i agree with all of the above.

I didn't sleep the night before my AoP win.

but yeah, what all of you guys said

I highly concur with the shower and deoderant.

Step 5: Make sure you have someone to drive and carry your drunken ass up the stairs.

Epic bath tubs are Epic!

Tagrineth said:

Does anyone ever sleep before UFS events though?

Pack your toothbrush and toothpaste.

seriously, stinky breath is stinky.

Nfxon said:

Ah, good times.

MAN I can't wait for Worlds this year =D

Also be sure to double check (before you leave) that you have all the cards you'll need. Mad scramble at the last minute = sux.

And be sure to take a jacket/hoodie/umbrella - never know when it might get cold or rainy.

And take some sneaks. You may end up walking to wherever you're dining, or (at conventions) wandering around checking things out.

Also, breath mints. Everyone will thank you, and it makes picking up the ladies easier. YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO IT BOI NOW GO GET HER

Or in your case:

Step 2: No underpants

Step 3: Vomit Uncontrollably

Step 4: Everyone else profits (at your expense!!)

Seeing as I do not partake in the consumption of alcohol, my plan for worlds this year is going to be quite something.

Quite something indeed.

1. Deorderant
2. Shower
3. Water and VAULT!!! (for me 'cause I'm a non-alcoholic sissy)
4. Breathmints/Gum
5. Condoms (for both cards and yourself, y'never know )

and maybe just in case 'cause once again y'never know, friends to bail you out.
