If you've got a spot on the first of the year let me know and I'll give you a solid answer as that's when I find out if I'm going to be working at the time or not

Hah. I'll let you know. We still have tickets left btw. Not sold out yet. If anyone wants a ticket please don't hesitate to purchase one!

just got mine, and so did my friend.

And hopefully, me too. (I'm concerned that poor Mr. Nash is going to get up this morning, to find 10 more people want to go.)

Doesn't look like he needs extra promo, but as a clarification to his initial post - the Invitational invite you can win at this is for an event with $2,000 in cash prizes.

OK this event is now sold out. 24 people have now paid and signed up for the event.

I have disabled the paypal payment option from our website to prevent overbooking.

This doesn't necessarily mean there isn't room for more people as I expect an occasional cancellation.

If you are interested in being an alternate for this event please PM me and I will add you to the growing list free of charge. In the event of a cancellation I will notify you of an opportunity to buy a ticket when it becomes available on a first come first serve basis.

Good luck guys! Glad it sold it out on the first go round. And a month early no less! Congrats! Should show that something like this has appeal. I look forward to the next one you guys put on

I am still debating on the army I want to bring.

Necrons!

Actually if oyu won this event with Crons, you would be a Legend!

I've updated the OP with important info for all attendees.

What's it mean if I sent money, but didn't receive the email?

Thanks for the update; that is some important information.

Some strange times involved for this event: 2:20 rounds, starting at noon on Sunday? It'd have been great (for those of us driving from the Bay Area) if Sunday started at 10; I just hope we can stay on time (5 min between rounds 4 & 5).

I checked your email again Janthkin and It was typoed. Sorry about that. Please confirm you got my reply.

Sorry we can't start earlier on Sunday. But the store doesn't open until 11:00 AM. I had to work to get a special exception for the Saturday registration. On Sunday I'm spending the 11:00 AM hour setting up the terrain.

I sent out a blast to all attendees this morning (except Janthkin whose email I butchered). Check your spam folder if you can't find it in your inbox. If you didn't receive it you can PM me and I'll send it again. However I just cut and pasted the email into this Dakka thread so if you're reading the spoiler at the top of this thread you got the info anyway.

Any questions about anything don't hesitate to ask me via email, PM or right here in this thread.

A slot has opened up for this tournament due to a cancellation. The wait list is now open. Anyone who is interested in attending this tournament please PM me ASAP.

Hey Kevin Nash, do you have a list of all of the attendees?

Blackmoor wrote:Hey Kevin Nash, do you have a list of all of the attendees?

I do. I will post the full list on Friday in this thread and on my blog. I want to make sure everyone signed up is committed and I'm still sorting out a couple slots with some last minute cancellations and alternate sign ups. Once I have that finalized list I'll post it.

We still have one slot up for grabs by the way. If you guys know anyone interested have them PM me.

Make that two slots.

I've updated my blog again and added the paypal back to accept additonal ticket purchases at the click of a button. If you are interested in either of these two tickets please head over there and click "buy now".

Once they are purchased I'll be taking the button down again. Tickets are first come first serve.

The current player list is now available here.

All participants on the list have paid. We have ONE TICKET LEFT. If you want to participate in this tournament you may purchase the last ticket by clicking the "buy now" button on my blog and sending me 25 dollars via paypal. First come first serve. Once the ticket is paid for I'll be removing the button.

If there is some kind of discrepancy please notify me asap via PM or email me at markemn@yahoo.com

I'll see everyone on the player list next weekend. Please note the important itinerary in the OP of this thread as you prepare your arrival.

Hey , Grimgob, I don't see your name on that list!

yeah grimgob i havent been able to play you and show you how orkz iz supposes to be played

Kevin Nash wrote: Please note the important itinerary in the OP of this thread as you prepare your arrival.

Do you have any advice on where the closest free parking is...in terms of like areas to look for?

That is an excellent question. Most of the neighborhood around there will be either 2 hour parking without a permit or permit parking only. De Longpre may be open parking (runs parallel to sunset a block south of the location).

I am planning to go scout it out tonight or tomorrow but I don't have high hopes. Carpooling as much as possible is probably in order.

Not off the top of my head. The store isn't my normal LGS and while I've been there a few times it I'm still learning a lot about the neighborhood. I will ask the manager via email tonight and give his response here. You can also try contacting Dragon's Den directly and asking about parking options. They might have some good info: 323-436-6200.

Oh and because someone asked. Yes please bring 3 objectives each. If you don't have any painted that's OK. I don't care if you use coins, casino chips, broken terrain pieces or grots. Whatever you want, just please make them uniform and identifiable.

Reecius wrote:Hey , Grimgob, I don't see your name on that list!

Yea, They sold out so I made plans to go to the Ironman in Vegas (and squeezed in a small RTT on Monday) before they reopend tickets. The wife gave me a pass but two is hard to come by, so I will only be stopping by for a little while each day to support my Sprue Posse friends in thier first GT. These guys are great guys and they put on a good event thats focused on fair but hard compitition. They also do it for the shear enjoyment of the game and its comunity. I'm really happy to see the support they have recieved and hope to see the event grow next year.

@Azgrim- One battle does not win a war (especialy a close one like ours ), and next time I won't forget to drop a whole mob o' boyz on the field . It was still a great game and I am looking forward to our rematch any time your ready buddy

May the best space wolf player win!

I hate to say this, hahaha, but of my 6 buddies coming, 4 are SW!

I think just through weight of numbers, Wolves will come out on top!

If I had even a week more time to paint, I would bring BT or bugs just to mix it up!

@Grimgob
Bummer, would have liked to get a game! But I'll be sure to say what's up when you get there and cheer us on.

Here was the store managers response:

"The best parking is on Sierra Bonita, the street that runs on the side and the connecting side streets around there, they are not permit and you can find spots, the blood bowl players seemed to do okay with it this weekend (we had twenty or so). At the meters you have to re-park every two hours as they have a maximum of two hours for parking even on Sunday. May want to tell people to avoid them. If they get there early, they should be able to find a street spot, especially if a few people car pool. "

Painting isn't required by the way.

Man, that's just pathetic. I try to stay as un-jaded as possible when it comes to the negative effects a really powerful codex has on the hobby, but seriously? WTF?

Out of 24 spots we're nearly guaranteed to have 1/4 of the armies be space wolves and the likelihood is that the percentage will actually be higher.

It just makes me sad that the desire to win sometimes completely overrides the desire for uniqueness because one of the main reasons I always liked playing in tournaments was the ability to play against a bunch of different army types in a short amount of time and in the last few tournaments I've played in Space Wolves have made up 25% or more of the field. Its practically an epidemic.

I'll be sure to bring a tissue so you can dry your teary eyes, Yak!

But I feel you. Adepticon last year was half IG and Wolves! Not really, but it sure felt that way. A lot of it is the fact that people have their painted army that works for them and that is what they feel most comfortable taking. My Bugs will be done by Feb and I plan on using them a lot this year. My Chaos is also coming down the pipe and they will be ready for Adepticon.

Give it some time, buddy. It's early in the season and I bet that we will see more diversity as people get armies tournament ready with BT, DA and DE. It takes time to pain them up!

Yeah, I am strongly considering bringing a terrible tau army just to mix it up. I guess I could turn this army into BT or DA with just a couple quick purchases...it's not like it's close to painted hah, I hope I've finished priming the army before the weekend.

I was just thinking the same thing (bringing terrible Tau)...although you never know how many Ork armies you'll get. Sometimes it seems like they're 2nd only to Space Wolves and then other times you only get 1 or 2. But for sure Tau are always on the endangered species list, so perhaps I'll rock them out.
