So for clarification, Centurion.

For the 40k tourney, it is in fact 1850 pts and not the 1750 ?

**malfred**

Woah, is the Fury of Hell coming to Chicago?

Crap.

**Centurian99**

Assuming that you're talking about the 40K Championships, yes, the army size is 1850.

**Mannahnin**

I'm in! Registered for WH Escalation, Team Tourney, and 40k Championships.

**malfred**

I think Mannahin's going to call in sick to work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

**Mannahnin**

I work Friday to Monday. Vacation time, my friend.

I might wind up calling out Monday.

**Janthkin**

Wait, wait - Ragnar's coming, too? Tell me you're playing something inoffensive like Russ and his Orks, too?

**FlatlanderBoss2.0**

K,

They're not his orks, he's just borrowing them and messing up our paint jobs with his acidmaw drool.

**Janthkin**

Well, you figure if he's the Warboss, their 'is boyz, yar?

**Centurian99**

We need to schedule a "Dakka Social"...sometime to grab a few beverages of choice and actually meet each other.

Ideal times would probably be after the Gladiator awards (Friday Night), or after the TT Awards (Sat. night). My vote would be for Friday, because Sat might conflict with the Codicer/loremaster challenge for those who might be interested.

We could meet in the hotel bar, or meet in the lobby and head out to someplace else for a bite to eat or drink. Anyone else in?

We can go back to Denny's!

**malfred**

White...Castle?

Actually won't make it out this year. Too bad.

If it hadn't been for the beers afterwards last year, I think the gut-rot from Denny's would have killed me.

But there has to be another restraunt around, if we've got the cars...

Saturday night sounds cool. Or whenever. Tonight I’m probably going to check out team t-shirts. Once I have the shirts squared away I’ll put more details about how to recognize me in the Dakka Tournament Meetup thread in the Schedule a Game forum. I should be wearing a Got Dakka button too.

Friday I’m using my Wood Elves. My team mates Jamie and Chris (and possibly Alex as well) will be playing in the Gladiator though, and they’re stronger players than I am in that format.

For the Team Tourney I’m changing it up a bit from my usual stuff. Only hint- I do have Rhinos.

I haven’t decided yet exactly what I’m doing on Sunday.

**muwhe**

I'm sure the Casus Belli suite will be open for a dakka gathering ... Back in one of the large ones this year.
