I'm a big fan of allowing objectives to be placed on different levels. Its another aspect of strategy that a player can use to help him during a game. Yes there will be differences across tables but I'd rather have the differences than uniformity.

is anyone is willing to roommate with me to split the cost of the hotel?

26 male, don't smoke and I like to Consider myself to be pretty neat/clean.

PM me if interested.

You had me at

'...don't smoke and I like to Consider myself to be pretty...'

But lost me at 'male' and at 'neat/clean'

hahahahaha

lol ! only you alex only you

Just a Quick FYI:

Draft Rules Packet says RGL starting on turn 5. Website announcement says tourney goes 6 turns with a 7th on a 4+. Please advise on which is correct.

CreepyCrawly
The website was in error. That should have been updated. Its 5 turns roll for 6th and 7th as per rule book. Appologies for the confusion

Zed,

Just checking if it would be possible to get a ticket refund -- I had a family thing come up and can't make it. I sent an email to the email address you listed a couple days ago.

Thanks

Caleb (?)
Got your email and you should be getting that refund asap.

Hope to see you next year.

Just a quick clarification but my name is Werner Born, not Brian Werner or Born Werner.

At any rate though, I had a great time thanks for putting together an awesome event with such a great crowd. Are final standings going to be posted online?

Yeah, having one player with the last name Werner and another with the first name Werner actually made things very tricky from a scoring perspective (we also had a Brian Werner).

I'll get Ed to correct your name on the post and I'll make sure it's correct when we put the full results/awards up on www.battleforsalvation.com

Werner, which one were you- the one in Pearl or Zirconia? I can edit too.

Werner was in Pearl.

Thanks!

I edited the posts to fix.

Sweet, thanks!
