Tournament report

Well let's give this another try, and see if I can make it stick this time. Friday was a good night, with ten players joining in the Alter Ego tournament. We even had a new player join us I threw the players a little curve before beginning: there was only 1 copy of each Alter Ego card to choose from! Each player got to choose from the pile (like a draft), so if someone had already chosen the one you designed for might have already been taken.

I chose Superman as my Alter Ego, with 75 endurance. I was playing my new Outsiders deck, which had performed really well the first few times I played. Sadly between my match-ups and my draws, I was only able to win one of my four games. Seeing the different match-ups play out with the different Alter-Egos added in made things really interesting, and from all reports everyone would be interested in playing with them again.

After four rounds of play we ended up with Harry as the top dog this time around, with Jordan taking second place. It's always cool to see the younger guys take the the honors. Congratulations.

How did the tourney on Friday go? I was out of town. I don't think Charles was there either.
Harry said…
Uh... it was a no go.

Why is that Harry?
Scott said…
I left somewhere around 6:30 because no one was there except me and Pascal. Did anyone else come later?
jon said…

bad timing on our parts =D

Well we'll play on the 29th, everyone mark your calendars.

By the way, can anyone help me with a copy or two of "Call in a Favor"? It's the last card I need to complete my collection...
Roy said…
Sorry can't help u out with any "Call in a Favor". That's all u need? as in ur done? u have every card? That is so cool!
Hey what about those uber rare MEQ cards? Ha ha now u have to get those!
Obsidian3D said…
The final six can stay uber-rare. I'm not likely to ever be willing to pay the prices they command...which isn't surprising since there are only two copies of each one floating around. I'll content myself to having at least one copy of all the other MEQ cards instead.

Hey Charles, are we on for this Friday? If so, what's the format? Thanks.

A Spot of Fiction: Part 3

Outside, the two searching figures slowly return to the main building. As they approach the light from their flashlights reflects off of the building and their shapes resolve. They're wearing simple, nondescript military style uniforms and armed with automatic weapons. One of them snarls at the other, "There's nothing out here except coyotes, dirt and wind. Besides, if I were in charge I'd have come out here and checked it out myself!" "Yeah right! If you were in charge we'd all be dead already Carlson. That door was rusted shut, I'd bet money on it. Ain't no coyote cracking it open like that," says the second guard. They pause outside the door and turn off the flashlights and he digs a pack of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. Lighting up a cigarette he offers the pack to his companion. "So if it ain't a coyote what the hell was it? Nothing around here for miles!" "I don't know Staves, but I'm not taking that...

Painting Dreadball - The Etherian Horde

You know what's really sad? I've got all four season 1 Dreadball  teams in varying states of painted-ness, but none of them are actually  finished . My corporation team was pretty much finished until I messed them up, but I'll be posting more about them soon enough. Anyway, after over two weeks of being displaced from my home I was finally given the go ahead to return Sunday. With hot water and electricity restored I had to begin cleaning unspeakable organisms from my fridge and freezer, start vacuuming, do dishes that had long languished in the sink, and of course...laundry. All the stuff people love to do right?! With most of that complete or in progress I sat down to some (in my opinion) much-deserved personal time. I flipped the TV on and broke out some figures that I thought would be relatively quick and easy to work my way through: Season 2's robot team! These things look a lot like the robotic Horde trooper minions that work for Hordak (from Masters o...
