Hey, I'm driving and also stay in that room, (if we are in fact staying in a motel, which is unclear at this point, which is the day before we leave. awesome) and I also am not sitting around waiting for drunk kids. If at all possible I want to head back sunday night, because I don't want to pay for another night, and I don't care about driving through the night - it been done better. So, don't worry.
Herbig really needs to find out soon (today) if we're staying at his aunt's for free or not.
Also, play testing last night was good stuff. I can't wait to play on sunday.

2 days... can't wait!!! Hah this shall be rather interesting. In the hopes of saving some money, Team Rochester is leaving on Saturday at 3 A.M. and driving non-stop to CT. BTW, are any of you sourcers planning on staying at the Econo-Lodge like 15 minutes away from the tournament site??

That kind of attitude is EXACTLY why you don't have a ride, Mr. Dick.

I think you mean 3 A.M. on Sunday morning instead of Saturday morning. Then you would only have to spend one night if you choose to. Right?

Me, and several other sourcers from Virginia are going to be staying in an Econolodge in Connecticut, and I'm pretty sure that it's the same one you guys are staying at.

Yes my bad, lol Sunday at 3 A.M., because leaving Saturday at 3 A.M. would kind of defeat the purpose of leaving at such a terrible hour.. We are only staying the one night after the tournament.

QFMFT - NOBODY loves you enough to drive you 8 minutes, much less 8 hours. A job = money, money = a vehicle, a vehicle = transportation...or do I need to use smaller words? Looking forward to seeing some people from back in the day from Quse, although NNY has fallen through (damn them). Question about the store - A) how well stocked are they usually? B) do they buy bulk rares or even other cards? If anyone knows, I would appreciate the info, having never been there personally.

maybe job=$=car=go, 3 words and a symbol, doesn't get much smaller than that.

Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
tsk tsk tsk... i have some bad newss for all you east coast players...
MinoraTeam is here from San Diego... i guess we just got lucky with the timing of your tourney and all. So well make sure to give you a good run for your money. HAHAHAHA
We have to represent the West coast and all... since it seems like no one else does on this site. so we might as well take the price with us back to SD.

So wait? You guys are coming on Sunday? Well, I only have the lodge room for the Saturday night before the tourney. Oh well. Even if a Unicorn tent is pitched it would be a Unicorn-only affair. Sorry boys.

Yeah, we are peeling at an awful hour to save a night in the Motel, but we are staying over the night after the tournament so we can go out and because my Dad doesn't want to drive home after the tournament. But a team Unicorn-only affair?? cmon.. you can't even let us in for a minute??

As far as my knowledge goes, the Glens Falls crew can't make it to this one. You won't be able to beat me senseless with Berserks for the 3rd tournament in a row...

Thanks, I appreciate it & possibly someone else needs the ability to trade in for cards as well :) See you all (except Joe Roy) there tomorrow.
Side note: For those of you not blessed with knowing Joe Roy in person....his online persona sums it up but doesn't give you the full flavor. You may remember him from his several previous banned Source accounts but his deliberate asshattery is only magnified in real life. If there is a way Joe can cause aggravation or trouble or strife or dissension or stress - he will do so. Deliberately. With malice aforethought. Yet he wonders why he gets treated like a leper pedophile (with ebola...and apologies to leper pedophiles everywhere...).

Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
I'm about to head out for the journey to CT to pick up my prizes. Good luck to everyone going and I look forward to meeting all the Sourcers. Peace.

Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
Herbig - I'll see you in a couple of hours. Just got out of work, and now packing, then picking up Matt (BigBear), then to Adam's (Mr. Nightmare), then we're off to that mystical land known only as... Connecticut.
Good luck kiddies. Should be fun.
-
Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
Team Rochester will be doing a testing gauntlet tonight until 3 A.M., that is the time in which we will finally depart for CT. Sleep in the car FTW.

A chance to quote myself :) $100 is not nearly enough compensation for dealing with Joe Roy 2 hours each way, confined in a vehicle (which you would be legal to drive by the time you earned enough....) and then all day in a tournament setting.

Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
Unfortunately, it doesnt look like I'll be making it to this thing. I had high hopes, as tivadar was going to bring me, but we never finalized the plans, and he has yet to call me. Dude, if you read this, give me a call :smile: I won't get my MAC address added to the school list until Tuesday, so it's been tough to get online, but the cute girl down the hall lent me her laptop :wink:

Cozy.Dec will make T8. :tongue:

Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
J. Christ??!?!
Does anyone that dropped have any statistics, like how many people were there, who is in the top 8/16? Anybody?
-
Re: THE MANA LEAK OPEN 1, Stratford, CT., September 3, 2006
106 people showed, an incredible turn-out. Unfortanately, the only person I know got into the top 8 is Mr. Nightmare, who Nantuko-Shady conceded to in the last round before I left.
All in all it was an awesome experience for all of the 5 rounds of magic I played (4 in the main tourny, 1 in the side-event). The store kicked ass, the people were great, and Ray organized a great tourny.
Props:
Ray, for running this thing.
Jotun Grunt, for being brutal on so many decks.
Nantuko-Shady and his crew, for being really nice and cool to talk to.
The guy I scooped too before I left for agreeing to mail me 2 FoW's if he won (he said this after I had conceded, not as a bargaining agreement).
Mr. Nipples and Deeper6, for being awesome as well.
Slops:
Me, for owning Mana Drains and 3 pieces of Beta power and not any duals.
The person playing a T2 deck with duals and lightning bolts for playing a T2 deck with duals and lightning bolts.
Angel Stompy for being a bad choice in this meta.
Despite the scrubbing out, the tournament kicked ass and I'm definately coming back next time.
Pre-emptive congrats to anyone who made top 8.

Justin went 5-2 I believe, finishing in 11th, Allan went 3-2-2 (fucking slow-ass deck) and finished like 30 something. I ran into problem matchups and went 2-3 drop to eat. I was in contention for some prize but it really wasn't worth it, I went to go chill with the general Legacy community.
Props: Lego, Cavius, Kadi, all the cool people I got to meet in person.
Ray for organizing a fantastic tournament.
Burning Tog for being sexy.
Pizza deals, two slices, chips, and a soda for $5, no price gouging in general at the store.
Legacy community for making Magic fun.
Meeting Dave Feinstein.
Beating Dave Feinstein.
Hearing Osyp's name pronounced "Osyp.. Lebe..alphabet.. Oh yeah, how many Pro Tours have you won?"
Slops: Herbig for barely making prize.
Gearhart and Chang feature match of the century that I couldn't watch because I play a slow-as-balls deck.
Slow as balls decks in general.
I.E. Truffle Shuffle, this means you.
Someone for scrying a Serum Visions card to their hand and acting completely nonchalant about it. Seriously, WTF.
Me for not capitalizing on the game loss by losing games 2 and 3 to the most ridiculous series of rips ever. Like runner-runner-runner to win. Again, WTF.
Sleeping through your alarm clock for 45 straight minutes. Need I say, WTF.
EDIT: Major WTF goes to.. drumroll please.. REANIMATOR FOR LUCKSACKING LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS sadface.
