Dave wins 2nd place! It's a Colorado sweep! to be honest, when I first saw the prizes, I said "I want second!" i smell a fix...:) That's what I thought too, I'll play you again for a shirt!! Uh ... er ... um .... later I changed my mind, after some thingking :) You smell the power that is Fort Collins haha Some call it Swamp Ass...but we all know what it is.... Then I thought about being the FIRST CHAMP and I couldn't resist * Suleyman wishes he could've played, though! Fort Collins players definitley are harder than any others I've played but the Germans are pretty good they have their own style, very hard to adjust to I think Frank was outstanding, he ousted Jos... They tend to set up a little more then we do... Yeah, Frank was my toughest match after you they totally set up How are the peopl ein Dalas/Fort Worth...they play a lot from looking at rankings it's kind of ridiculous Now if we could only get wizards to back a meatspace championship ... ;) I could just install any ice, knowing I wouldn't have to rez them patience... That's what I'm thinking...seattle here we come.... I'll back the meatscape tourney after I win magic worlds... $26000 :) i'll hold you to that :) CONGRATULATIONS GUYS! * bfenwick smiles Thanks, Scott, great tourney yes, well played, all don't worry I am *SO* glad the way this tourney turned out Dave will back it if he wins... it could've flatlined so many times Jen, I guarantee if I win an MTG PT, I will give $10,000 at least * Corpboy is thinking of the trophy.......and smiles..no grins.... yeah, it worked I was fairly skeptical, I'll admit Richard Here - horray! Wow - just after I left - good come back hey you missed the big finale!!! I just read it Richard, will you be at Origins this year?' What do you think of the IRC now Dave? Fetal Ai didn't treat you so well this time tobin I still hate IRC playing * bfenwick won't truly be happy until the card "No Dice" comes out.... I will ask jen to keep me informed of the next event - I would love to play, and will if I have time Fetal is not that good in this format, they always end up with tons of bits in the end game and you can't score it with managemnet shake up Nope, there is only so much on ecard can help you. Fetal AI treated me pretty F'in well... I am going to play tobin a lot and and prove it to him :) Would you be up for some league play, Richard? I will be at origins, yes I'm telling you, I really don't htink it is I like Fetal What other agenda were you playing with Main Office?, I knew the rest... yeah, but you guys play differently We'll be starting at least one Omni IRC league this fall Dave, you still have you rochester stuff? main office, of course the continuous draft? I'm not sure darn I think so cool When are you getting back D? In the overall environment, Fetal ain't that good Justin and I had some really good matches the other week the 5th I was thinking of having an "Erector Deck" tourney in the Springs before I left but it is good in CO, cause they play more aggressive, you know 5th or so, yeah well, you ARE arguing with the CHAMP OF THE WORLD!!!!!!! ;P but against the Germans, I don't think Fetal is good, even if it was for you You guys interested? Ok champ, you ready to play me for big cash ante? ercetor decl? Alright Chub Toad, my draw was terrible first game and in the second we both had decen draws and I won! The details are up on Matthias Nagy's Netrunner Weekly doesn't matter I won my sweet baby D even though I never got a permanent bit source and I drew an extra breaker of every variety :P I figured that last game would be fast after seeing both draws I'm not much into constructed NR, but I like my new runner deck a lot deck construction sounds like your problem... haha no way my deck is so much tighter than yours Tycho lost you the game that card is soooo bad erector decks is a constructed/random mix I'm sur eit is as mine was strecthed a couplea weeks ago.... Tycho sucks gotta go with Dave on that one typing is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad I am taking off aww :( Thanks for stopping by! will you be at origins? See you at Origins Thanks - it was fun to watch even though I missed most of the good parts I will be at origins missed it before thanks see you there maybe.... seeya there I'd love to talk about almost any aspect of games *** DeadRun is now known as Dead_Guy hope so - back to jennifer (who will keep me informed about leagues/etc) that was cool including releasing some new cards for old games (hint-hint)... It's good to see the top guy interested in NR Good job Scott and Jen for getting RG here * Dead_Guy needs food badly Thanks, that did mean something.... in the Gauntlet voice just some well-placed begging ... deadguy can suck my left .... it's me again (jen) Congrats Tobin, you are the NR man I must admit blad to be of service What do you guys think of the erector deck thing? even though my deck is better than yours and aren't you gland the Man isn't here to see that potty mouth of yours? :) Thank Dave, I'll see you in a few days... haven't looked recently blad? gland? man, i'm tired Well, good gamers are "eccentric" I get to drive the 30 hours or so back soon... what fun what potty mouth, I didn't say anything, I typed it!!! potty hands... good timig scoot Skip!!!!
