Yeah great, a whole bunch of gamer nerds going to stip clubs. That's fantastic.

So, you think strip clubs are only for elite sports athletes and High dollar business men? lol, wow, you need to get out more.

I grew up in Philly, so I had Atlantic City to figure out Casinos' are a ripoff.

Vegas is just a shinier ripoff.

And I'm not taking family, so the family oriented side is pretty boring too.

If it makes you feel better, we'll hit the Star Trek experience and Quarks for sure. Besides that, got any good geek stuff to go do?

Considering that Atlantic City and Vegas are about as different as New York and Las Angeles. Both serve the purpose of gambling but there is so much more that Vegas has to offer than Atlantic City does. Trust me on this I grew up in Atlantic City and still have a place down there. Only recently have they been getting Vegas style activities at the Casinos there.

As one of my friends told me, Vegas is the place that you can go to where things that would be considered to be Taboo or Socialy Unacceptable any where else are considered to be common place in Vegas.

Ed is right if you are going to Vegas there are plenty of other things to do than play in a team tournament or gamble.

When it all comes down to it there are pleanty of things to do there and if you have a group of friends to do it with it is just that much better.

The real question here is: Do I, as a non-participant, really want to see your guys' pictures of the weekend's activities?

I think the answer here is no...unless trannies are involved.

I thought the stereotype was the exact opposite. Like my avatar friend here <------ would be the one going to strip clubs.

Stonefox, you really need to get more often. There is a whole big dirty world outside your gamestore.

Gambling is gambling.
Prostitution is prostitution.
Dirt is dirt.
Scum is scum.

Sorry, what's the difference again? lol

So anyway about the force org, is it the 0-2 elite/heavy/fast or is it actually split between your armies how you want it (like how I'm doing in my tournament)?

We haven't finalized the details but I expect it'll be like this:

Each player brings:

1 HQ
0-1 Elites
1-3 Troops
0-1 Fast Attack
0-1 Heavy Support

Then, between the two of them they may determine the distribution of the remaining 1 Elite, 1 Fast Attack, and 1 Heavy Support.

Once their armies are combined they'll have

2 HQ
0-3 Elites
2-6 Troops
0-3 Fast Attack
0-3 Heavy Support

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Yeah that's about the same way I'm doing it.

It works well I think.

Anything is better than last year when you had 2 FOC together.

Dave, it seemed like last year we did not have that much time (I think we only finished one game).

How much time where you thinking about for each round?

Hmmm really? Crush your opponents. Or be crushed. Quicker.

We didn't run into people with multiple FOC running anything I'd characterize as abusive.

A couple of twits maybe, but having lots of crap isn't necessarily good or abusive.

Maybe that is why I get a good sportsmanship score and you end up with the worst.


I like to play a game rather than have an exercise in dice rolling.

Timing is always a fun issue.

Just talking about the Friday evening here. I think we'd go for 2 hour rounds and a half hour break between games. That'll close that Doubles Tourney out around 9:30 pm, giving plenty of time for drinking, gambling, seeing the Pirate show out the front of Treasure Island, or squeezing in another game.

Stelek & I teamed up for last year's doubles - we won 20-0, lost 0-20, won 20-0. Bi-polar play. We had no issues with time, lol.

Other than the 3 games all being the same mission (Gamma Cleanse, FTL), it was incredibly fun - I highly recommend playing in it. I probably had more fun that day than the rest of the GT (not because the GT sucked, I just really enjoyed the doubles).
