I think it's a good idea. It's also nice for them to compile a list of all the big events over the next year and a half.

Oh how it sucks to live in the Southeast and be into 40k tournament gaming. First one within 300 miles is January 2011. Although I guess there is always Ard' Boyz again next summer.

The pickings are pretty slim for Upper Midwest and East Coast players. Kind of a bummer really. Seems the majority are all in TX and west of the Rockies.

I'm loving this. it will definitely get me to more indy GTs. I already see three I'm 100% attending. And then an invitational to get excited about if you qualify.

Dinner with Jervis.

So anyways it looks like GW has decided to go full WAAC now.

G

Hopefully they can add a few events on the east coast

It's looking like many of us will have to travel if you want to assure yourself a spot in Vegas. 'Less you get lucky and smash everyone on your first outing.

Ooooh, win a date with JJ!

I can see it now, JJ sits down at the table with the winner of the Vegas 40k Tournament.

This winner is a competetive FOOL!

"So, Jervis, 40k isnt meant to be played competetively, huh?.....*chews food loudly with mouth open*"......

Hmmm, a dinner with Jervis? I think a Dakkite has to win and do nothing but make snide comments the entire time.
Jervis-"So, what did you think of the tournament?"
Dakkite-"I think it was nice, but there weren't enough babies for us WAAC TFG's"
Jervis-"...okay. Could you please pass the salt?"
Dakkite-"Sure you want me to hand it to you? I might infect it with WAACitis."

Now I have to focus on painting! If only they gave an invite to Best Overall & Best General. I usually max out at about 35 points on painting.

Exactly one event north of Baltimore. Way to cover the Northeast, guys. Phoenix and Dallas get TONS of love.

St. Valentines Day Massacre in Media, PA (Philadelphia) in Feb. 2010
Da Boyz GT in Rochester, NY, in Oct. 2010
Mechanicon in Westchester PA (Philadelphia) in Nov. 2010
St. Valentines Day Massacre in Media, PA (Philadelphia) in Feb. 2011

(Because the first 'season' runs June-June, + the first six months of 09, Some cons will occur twice in this 'season'. )

So you get to go to 4 on the East coast north of Baltimore. Feel better? Hope you like Philly.

It didn't list the states, so the only one I recognized was Rochester. Still, I'm north of Boston - Philly is still less than convenient.

Hey, I doing my part. You want something closer, you'll have to convince someone up that way.)

"Dinner with Jervis Johnson on the Final Night"

I know what I'm putting up on Ebay.

Dinner with JJ? I would actually give that one to H.B.M.C. on the condition that he records it.

I actually got to have dinner with Jervis a couple of years ago. It was after Baltimore games day, at the Hardrock. Wandered over, and ran into Ernie Baker, who heads up the US, and then Jervis joined us. We were the only 3 not clued in that the rest of the boys were in another part of the place.)

WoW! I don't think I can follow that, so I'll let it go . . .

So - Midwest options are:

Chicago and Dallas - both 8 hours away.

Seems like a good time to start playing LotR as the odds go up significantly.

I'd bring a D6 with me, and if we got into an argument during the dinner or even had a slightly differing opinion, I'd offer to D6 it.

hahahahahhaha.. at HBMC


The true face of a win at all cost player.

What moron wrote that schedule?!?!? Great if you are out west but holy crap...nothing in the SE at all? I know a few vendors that wanted to run events but apparently they got the boot. Well Mike I guess I will have to make sure my Philly/Rochester move goes off without a hitch this year hehe.

This is a neat idea but not very well configured. I am sooooooo disapointed in how this turned out.

WOow, only 6 hours from the closest one. ><

My hope is that someone in the areas that don't have events either steps up and starts running something, or events in the area contact GW and get onto the circuit. This wasn't written to cover the country, it just used the events available to GW, that wanted to be on the circuit, and that got in communication with them.

Either way, get your butt moving, and get up here, so we can start getting in some games and beers. I won't blow you off next time for my daughters cheerleading next time, promise.) With your painting skills, you need to win about 3 out of 5 games to place first. I was blown away looking at your stuff when you came by the store.

I think a lot of people see some events out west and think they are close together.

If you think that, you would be wrong. What you don't know is that the distances in the west are a lot larger than in the East. Boston is closer to Philadelphia than LA is to Phoenix.

i'm lucky that I have an event in my town of rochester... and mechanicon isn't THAT far south. is quite cool.

Yep. I grew up in Northern California.
People find out and say crap like "oh, you must have loved going to Disneyland" Yeah, after a 13 hour drive, it rocks.
"Did you go to the beach much?" Nope, 5 hours of driving each way just somehow wasn't a fun excursion.

Distances are huge out west.

Simple solution is that more people and clubs need to run tournaments.

I hear Team Toledo is already building a shelf for their trophy.







Greg, you are welcome

sparks aint gak... I could beat him with both hands tied behind my back.

the last time we played, I decided to let him win, because he looked so forlorn and sad.

you heard me. I threw the last round of a tournament just because i'm a nice guy.
