Huzzah! I will be buying some tickets tonight, looking forward to seeing some of you there.

You say tickets plural ... if that's the case, please let me know the names/contact data of anyone you are purchasing tickets for (someone did this earlier, hence my comment).

Ah yes, I will either PM you or send you an e-mail if I end up purchasing multiple, is that alright with you?

(I recented a tournament, and I used holo-fields, someone said that since it wasn't modeled, I couldn't use them, the TO [obviously] ruled in my favor. I can expect it to be the same here?)

Uh, yeah. Really? Someone tried to call you on NOT modeling a holo-fielded tank? What's next, wysiwyg void shields or bust?

When you were about to walk home with first place, and someone tried to stab you in the back, you could get a little worried!

I'd dig your eyes out with a spoon!

I didn't even care when someone used a styrofoam egg at the 'ard boyz. (I did care after I got to know the guy actually, cheating, sweating from playing 40k in a normal temperature room, declaring that my vyper bases were illegal...)

I'm positive that that was a joke, though I am still poked about this. (glad that I smoked him later that month when we got into another match at a tournament! )

How many slots are still open?

i am officially signed up

So uhh...

I've managed to get four people signed up for the Nova Open so far.

Mike, all I want is a match against Stelek!

I hope I make it, I have to wait till friday to sign up.

I want a match against Dash just to experience the full force of the pink orks, but with how much of a net celeb he's becoming I'm not so sure I'll land one.

Although I do have a sneaky plan to get him that involves a long string, a bottle of booze, and hiding behind the table.

Lol, Nice Tagetawg!

@Deadshane

He's been really good about holding a spot for me. Since the plane ticket had to come first. You should be alright

I sure hope so. This may be the only tournament family matters allow me to go to this year.

Chris Nanry got me to sign up :p

sorry to spoil that for you Dash.

But I would love to see a game vs Stelek...

Dude, if you gifted me with a bottle of Captain Morgan at a tournament, I might be forced to concede on the spot out of pure awesomeness. If it was a pint, I would take it easy on you. For a fifth, presuming you hit me up at lunch with it (I'll be blasted by the time lunch is done) you would find our round hilarious and I would probably lose simply by virtue of forgetting what I was doing. Its worked before.


*caveat* I don't endorse public drunkeness at tournament. I only drink when I have a designated driver. I also drink in celebration of meeting new friends in new places. A four round tournament in one day is a very promising avenue to involve a bottle of the Captain in my batreps.

I sh*t you not, (shot of course) someone bringing me a bottle of Captain would honestly make my entire tournament. Although I kinda need to know in advance whether to bring my own fifth or not. Interestingly, I'm a bit toasty as I write this *laughing* My sales team had a going away/promotion party for me tonight (I'm getting promoted/leaving) and our boss bought drinks and decided to challenge my "I have too high of a tolerance to get drunk easily" theory. 10 shots of Captain Morgan and 6 shots of tequila later, he decided to call it quits, after which my team chipped in cash for beer and more captain....I'm on the happy side of stone cold, but not nearly chipper yet!

Dude!!!!

I'll be wearing a shirt with a picture of my avatar clearly labeling me as Dashofpepper. Come up and say hello and shake my hand or ELSE!

Awwwww! Dash and I will match

Cept mine will have a better avatar

Three so far coming from the Charlottesville area. Can't wait till August.

As soon as I get to work I'm signing up!

G

So, i tryed just now to purchase a ticket, but in the checkout process theres nowhere to enter payment info ... Is this a pay at the door event or should there have been somewhere for me to enter CC info :(

6 spots left!

Fantasy is still a bit more open, although anticipating a rush of sign ups once the rules hit the stores and are digested.

Once you've filled out all of your data, and clicked checkout, it will take you to a paypal page, where you can pay either via credit card or paypal.

Just keep through the process until it loads up.

Should have been a paypal option (currently our only accepted method).

PM me if you're having trouble and I can assist.

Yup, all fine and signed up now, the site had been freaking out evidently, never took me to paypal, just after intial info putting in submitted a 0$ order lol.

Yeah, super weird ... you actually bought a spot initially for free!

Hi Mike!

I just signed up. See ya this August. Looking for to the Friday night fights. Can we bring brass knuckles?

MVBrandt wrote:Yeah, super weird ... you actually bought a spot initially for free!

I would have much more preferred he bought nothing for $50, just more lining for the websites pockets!

We'll get into the Friday Night Fights jazz closer in ... but no, you may not bring brass knuckles. Unless they are simply creatively modeled onto your guys.

Well of course of course! I am really looking forward to this. Thanks for putting all this together Mike. It's awesome stuff!

G

Thanks man, but the wide attendee list is a good portion of it! I'm amazed and honestly humbled by the wide variety and geographical dispersion of people coming to the event. Over 45% of our 40k attendees are not coming from within an easy drive of the spot.

All ya'll should get your Fantasy buddies to hop on board and travel with you ... it's the first GT to go with 8th edition to my knowledge, and we have plenty of room left.

While the 40k side is going to be pretty competitively tough given the crowd, Fantasy may be wide open ... full of people still learning a new edition, and the prize support should be just as nice there

- Mike


PS - Since it was a little lost in the shuffle, I'll shortly be providing direct link and codes to "blocked" rooms at $90/night for the collocated Holiday Inn. It's a top notch version of said hotel chain, nice pool and full wireless, yatta yatta, with a nice restaurant on site. They'll hook up NOVA Open attendees w/ 20% off at the restaurant and complimentary light breakfasts, and they share a parking lot with the Expo Center, so no cabs/rental cars necessarily required.

^^ yeah screw 40k, I'm not going to win anything there.

Sticking to Fantasy, where everyone will still be like "how does that work again?" hehehe
