Well damn if Hulksmash is going maybe I will have to try and adjust my work schedule so I can make it out!

G

Hrmm, this thread gives me an idea...


I am not going to be making it either. I am a bit strapped for cash.


:p

No, Timmah. Not that easy. You're not getting your registration back!

It wasn't any largess Timmah. It was realizing how much still boxed and unbuilt stuff I have around the house. I should have a plane tickets worth of stuff hanging around

Hte moar hte merrier.

The help Hulksmash make it to the NovaOpen sale is up in the swapshop. Have a look guys!

I have everything I need currently for 40k but I would be glad to buy you a beer and chat with you there.

: )

I was obviously trying to get $100 outa Dash, not get my registration fee back.

@BBF

Sounds good.

@Timmah

It's always worth a shot

I broke down and signed up/paid as well. So I'll see you folks there.

Why not just play him for the 100$ at the event?

I figured that I would be playing him Fast and Furious style, aka for pink slips (to our cars, not armies. I would never risk my 1ksons like that!)

their rich, tasty courage.

But.... But.... I'm just cowardly IG............. No courage here. Move along.

I will be showing up still not sure what level of cheese to bring. Mildly choking or REALLY offensive.

I would totally lay down money on a game. I'd try doing it more often, but I don't think I'd have any takers.

OK I will just have "THAT GUY" on my name tag.

6cent Ihop game challenge issued!

6cent IHOP challenge?

I don't know what that is. :(

You betting six cents on our fight? 6 cents towards the other's IHOP bill? An IHOP meal?

Mmmmmm.....I hop

Figured I would copy this here, but don't want to retype the whole thing (or copy & paste.... ok, really I'm just trying to drive traffic, sry - but it is funny, I promise), so here's a link:

NOVA Open funnies

That is funny as all hell Stjohn.

To be fair I probably wouldn't participate. I'm scrounging to make it. I'd volunteer to join in the dunk tank but I'm not polarizing enough so the amount to help my flight out wouldn't be enough....

Instead of doing a "celeb deathmatch" night on Friday, I should ebay off the opportunity to play all you popular and/or polarizing types.

I'm pretty sure StJohn and Stelek are now officially coming. Pretty sure. The things I do to try and help people arrange their hobby travel!
PS - It might be valuable to note that you actually can get people to attend your event if you don't, you know ... treat 'em like gak while you're doing it.



IN REAL NEWS, for all you traveler types - The on-site Holiday Inn will give you $90/night once they send me the code, as I've blocked off 15 rooms. They share a parking lot w/ the expo center, so ... doesn't get any more convenient. If you sign up for their free priority member program, you also get free continental breakfast during your stay. Plus they'll chuck in 20% off their on-site restaurant for NOVA Open attendees staying at the hotel, yatta yatta.

I *need* to be there.

I will actually attempt to arrange tickets and transportation tonight, that, and I will buying some paints Friday...

So now that I'm signed up, I suppose I need to get painting, anything else I should be doing MVB?

I'd be down with that MVB but I don't think anyone wants to play me enough to pay for it. Might work for Dash, Stelek, and BBF though

So now that I'm signed up, I suppose I need to get painting, anything else I should be doing MVB?

Practice the primer mission packet with your buddies / vassal ... and set terrain up so that it's "identical" regardless of side or deployment type for each side, AND covers 25% of the board.

Keep posted on whatever e-mail you paid with, as once 40k sells out (we have like 9 spots left), I'll start sending out prep e-mails to people on a weekly basis so that everyone is on the same, fair page about what to expect and how to best prepare, plus what's going on during the Friday and Sunday things. Hope the late signer-uppers play Fantasy also ...

I'll also be prepping a travel guide for people coming from areas other than local, so that you can be clued in on a few good places to get brews, food, etc.

- Mike

BBF needs to actually sign up. If he thinks he's just going to come up and watch, he's going to get put to work. No, seriously, I merrily abuse spectators as pack mules when running events.

I would probably pay to face Hulksmash, no real interest in facing BBF, Stelek is obvious, and I was already mopped by Dash once!

Assuming I had the money TO spend...

That's shens, either way Syphonious. My hard stop at glorifying 40k gamers is at the Celebrity Deathmatch live podcast during Friday night's social activities. Paying to play a PEER is a little silly

6Cents AND an Ihop bill.

That way, incase we never have time to go to Ihop, at least the winner gets 6cents (better then nothing )
