Zach and I are the ones organizing this, so we are talking about having some sort of bounty. Again, with expenses up in the air the details aren't available yet. I'm not sure about every member on EPIC, but if Zach and I play, then we will have a bounty.

So, to clear things up, when you beat an EPIC member, you get an asian booster pack. When you beat Zach or I you will get something better, again, not sure what yet.
I will have probably two playsets of Meddling Magi with me for the event. Beat me, and I'll give you one. Unless people have other ideas. Or if I decide that I'm too poor to ante up some magi. I think that it'd be unfair for Matt and I to compete for prizes and not bounty ourselves. Mabye I'll give you a wasteland? Foil playset of Grozoth? And, I swear to whatever you find sacred, reveng_inc, if you beat me I and I'm playing enchantress I'll give you two force of wills.
Sweet, Now I really have to go to this. :eek:Quote:

As soon as I figure out how the hell I'll get there I am in. Does anyone live near Fredonia?
This sounds sweet imo.

I'll definitely be there with most of my team if they actually decided to show up and play for once.
Ok.... I think we may have the last of the details nailed down, I can't say anything yet because I have to check with everyone involved.
After everything is discussed I will update the main post with the new information, hopefully later tonight. A list of prizes what will be included will be up, probably not a complete list, but the confirmed prizes, and extras and how many people we will need for them to be added.
There will also be some extra saucy hotness thrown in for good measure.
FIRST POST UPDATED!!!!!!
Location now set. Mark your calendars people!
Well, I know this will interest a few people.... this is being held at the VFW, and there is a bar at the VFW. I talked to them today and anyone that is 21 is welcome to go to the bar during the event. Not that you guys are drunks or anything, but I thought that you guys might like that.
Also, we will have pizza available. Not sure on the prices yet.
So, to recap: alcohol will be available.

I vote for a no-drinks-at-the-Magic-tables rule.Quote:

It's in October and that's a very long time for the NoVA peeps to even begin thinking about a tournament. With that being said, I plan on going.Quote:

Holy sh*t !!!!!
This looks like a great event (and only about 5 hours from Montreal) !
I'll try to get some people from Montreal to come (including me and maybe Ugo Rivard, of Vintage fame).
P.S.: Does anyone know what are the floor rules concerning bathroom breaks during a match ? Drinks and a Legacy tournament, that'll bring players to the event.
Ok, updates on the prizes: I know this is a bit iffy, seeing as no non-sponsored legacy tournament has done so, but if we get to 70 people, there will be an extra set of blue duals up for grabs.
That's right, at 70 people the prize pool will look like this:
4x Force of Will
4x Underground Sea
4x Tundra
4x Tropical Island
4x Volcanic Island
4x BLUE DUALS (probably volcs cuz i have 7 already...)
4x Taiga
4x Bayou
4x Badlands
4x Scrubland
4x Plateau
4x Savannah
4x Polluted Delta
4x Survival of the Fittest
4x BB Lightning Bolt
4x Wasteland
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
4x ???
???= a yet to be determined playset of cards valued somewhere between a set of Wastelands and a set of Polluted Deltas
That means that 6th place could be picking up BLUE DUALS!
Come on people, especially out-of-towners, start making those plans, cuz this is gonna be awesome!
I'm planning on going.
Yes! We even get our own celebrity!!!Quote:

What, exactly, needs explanation here? It's all rather simple.Quote:

Time: 11 a.m.
Date: October 7th, 2007.
*Note*: This is on a Sunday, not a Saturday as normal, which could throw some people off. However, Monday, October 8th, is Columbus day (a holiday), and traveling + other traditional daily activities are put off in favor of the holiday. If you didn't know, in 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue. He also fought a dragon or two, but history loses itself in the archives during this time period as the "Great leper rampage" occured and many documents were lost. But of what we do know, was that he was given his own holiday because he sailed to the western lands and successfully created a good name for himself as an explorer, allthewhile torturing and maiming his slaves. He enjoyed torturing and killing people so much, that he eventually changed his profession from explorer to executioner and dominatrix extraordinaire. Then he dies, valiantly, fighting a 12-headed hydra while fisting a slave. Multi-tasking was not Mr. Columbus's forté, and he chose to fist the slave instead of fighting the hydra. Fast-forward about 50 years later. His will is discovered, and in it, lo' and behold, cites that the future United States must dedicate a Monday in his name to be a holiday, so that future Magic players have the freedom to travel to large events on a Sunday without the fear of getting fired for being late to work Monday morning.
I think that should clear some stuff up. We look forward to seeing you attend, assuming you aren't too offended by what I just said.
Dude. When you told me today that you were doing a tournament, I was like "meh." But you never said there was going to be a bar. With war vets. Friggin' sweet.
FYI: Columbus day was supposed to be on October 12th (my birthday) every year. It was not originally supposed to be on a Monday, but due to capitalism and judeo-christian domination of the western world, Saturday and Sunday are already our days of rest, so getting a holiday (the 12th) on a weekend would suck ass, and as for capitalism, getting workers to work is harder when you throw them a random wednesday or thursday off in the middle of the week.
On another note, alcohol and war vets do rock.
How many people are you guys expecting to get? It doesn't look to much further than Syracuse, so I am working on making plans to come out.
Necro will show. Ill try to get the whole horde together so thats a good 10 people right there.
You guys are fuckin awesome for having this, especially at a bar.
The prize for taking down an EPIC should be a drink!!
For other prizes Ive been dying to see some rare P3k stuff such as Rolling Earthquake, Ravages of War, Imerial Recruiter. I know some of that shit is too pricey as a playset but you can stick them in the prize pool as singles.
FNM Ringleaders should be readily available by then.
Well I figure I should play this so I can shut up wastedlife once and for all..
Wont happen. He'll keep talking :tongue:Quote:

Actually, that brings up an interesting idea. What about a random grudge match side event or something. I have no idea how it would be run, but it seems like a pretty interesting idea.
What are you thinking about for the grudge match, like individuals calling eachother out, or what? Give me some more ideas....
If everyone who has said they will come actually comes, we will have an amazing turnout.
If the out-of-towners want to post how many people they will be bringing that would be cool.
The prize support gets insane at 65 people, so hopefully we get that many, and by early estimates we just might get there.
The tournament will also NOT be endorsing any drinking of alcohol. Yes, it is available, but we don't want any problems, and drinking is historically linked to problems, so anyone that gets out of hand will be asked to leave, so remember that.
On the other hand, we want everyone to have a blast, so just have fun.

Ok NoVA, who going to this?
So, who wants a 2 round bye to this puppy?
All you gotta do is show up to Comixzone on Saturday October 6th for their normal Legacy Tournament. Whoever wins, well they are gonna get a 2 round bye to the EPIC DLD the next day. This is in addition to the regular prize which is store credit. We are kind of hoping for some out-of-towners to show up for this, that's why it's the night before and not the week before, so take advantage of a $5 chance at a 2 round bye.
Location:
Comix Zone
628 South Main Street
North Syracuse, NY 13212
(in Maines Plaza)
The tournament begins at 5:00, so be there a bit early.
This event I am actually making plans on attending.
I do have questions...
~ No matter what the attendance, will top4 be the only ones getting two picks?
~ Or at the 75 person mark does top8 get two? (say the 4 after 9-16)
~ Will 9-16 be based on standings after swiss or final results?
~ Should second place at CZ get 1 bye?
On a side note, Chief will have been out of prison for a month at this point. I plan on having him prepped and ready for at least a top 16 finish.... if not a top 8 with me. I just want to remind peoiple not make any sudden movements around him, lol... 3 years in Attica tends to change an already psychotic guy.
You have some interesting ideas. We are currently discussing the prizes if we get lots of people at this. We are considering power additions and the like, but I do like the idea of more picks to the top 8. I'll update the prize structure in the next few days once we get everything worked out.
As for 9-16, that will be decided by standing after X rounds of swiss, just like 5-8, and 3-4 are decided.
Hotel info added to the first page!!! I only included one hotel, as it is the cheapest one in the area, and less than 10 minutes from the tournament site. If anybody is going to the Saturday night qualifier tournament from that hotel feel free to MapQuest it, or get in touch with me and we can carpool/caravan there.
