...10 min drive...

You sure you'll be able to make the effort to roll out of bed?

Free sleeping space is going to be awesome for however many you can fit.

Also on that note, are people going to join up and shove as many people as possible into a hotel room for those that don't find a free crash spot?

I'm assuming that various groups of friends/teams (Unicorn, Ninjas, EPIC, etc.) are going to be going in on hotel rooms, and I'm sure that even if you're going alone you can probably still find someone here in this thread to split a hotel room with. Everyone loves cheaper hotel rates.

[MULocke]

Yeah I'm going to HAVE to get there and I'll be along with Ohio's Legacy crew.

Ohio has a legacy crew? I was unaware of this outside a few people in Cincinnati (myself included). Where is Rittman, anyway?

For you guys on the fence about going, we need to make sure this GP has a good turnout to make sure Wizards wants to do another next year. I don't remember the turnout from GP: Flash, but I know a lot of people that didn't go because of flash, and next thing you know it's 2008 and there's no gp.

There were about 800+ people at the 07 Legacy GP, if I remember correctly.

I live in Rittman/Orrville, but we all play in Wadsworth. It is the Cleveland/Akron region.
We're a decent chunk of Ohio's Top 20 :D
We do Legacy twice a week, usually having 16+ player 5 rounders on Wednesdays, and 10+ player 4 rounders on Fridays.

Are you certain someone would want to room with Unicorns? You may go blind.

[Tosh]

I think he means that there will be a "Unicorns room", a "'Ninjas room", etc. at some hotel.

[Pinder]

I think he means that there will be a "Unicorns room", a "'Ninjas room", etc. at some hotel.

Or even at different hotels. What I was saying is that teams are likely banding together already for hotel rooms.

And what happens in the Unicorn hotel room, stays in the Unicorn hotel room.

[Tosh]

And what happens in the 'Ninja hotel room, stays in the 'Ninja hotel room.

Fixt.

Ninjas you control have "Bands with Unicorns"?

[Tacosnape]

Damn, yo. I need to get a group from the southeast to go to this shit with me. Damn all Legacy players not living nearby.

Also, since my eternal rating as of today is 1902 do I get byes or Ninja points or something?

I second this question, since my eternal rating is 2005.

EDIT: Oh, and, my penis is bigger than everyone else's, too.

[Brad Herbig]

I am definitely there. Looking forward to seeing you all.

[Van Phanel]

Rating > 1800 => 1 BYE
Rating > 1900 => 2 BYEs
Rating > 2000 => 3 BYEs

Your mother says otherwise.

It's not everyday that you get to make two obvious jokes in one.

This should be the case because it's what was done in Columbus (Constructed or Eternal-the highest of the two).

@ Taco if you go to the Memphis tournament and lose to a single scrub you might lose your 3 byes.

[frogboy]

Fixt.

definitely not staying with you guys :o

Rather one more enemy than mising a good punchline, eh?

So while you were having sexual intercourse with Tacosnape's mother (I think that's what you were going for), you were talking about his penis size?

You mustn't soil the name. Do us herbigs proud!

[Bardo]

I believe Nihil was going for the incest angle. Taco lives in Alabama after all, where incest is presumably rampant.

Nice use of invisitext, btw.
