1  Eternal Formats / Creative / Holy Crap another Burninator! on: September 29, 2004, 02:29:00 pm
Good job with Burninator man.  I know the feeling of winning too quickly with the deck... It's all good cause it gives me time to smoke like half a pack between rounds.  Now that I know there was another burninator deck in the field, I don't feel guilty not playing.  I woke up sick as hell, and broke to boot, so I just volunteered my help to kl0wn.  Granted I didn't do much help except provide car to get the pizza, and take out random garbage.

I'm not sure why you played the fire/ices though.  2-1 on welders?

I'm biased though since that's the Guerilla Tactics slot, and anything besides GT sucks balls.

Goddamnit though, why are people playing burninator Sad Now I gotta fear the mirror match.

If this is in the wrong place, can a mod move it (hopefully without a problem, since I'm teammates with a few mods).


   Well I was requested to do a report since I crushed people all day with a mono-red deck.  Our journey begins Friday, where I spend all day at work wondering if I’m still going as I had no way of getting ahold of kl0wn.  Mix that with the desire to go down to this fun bar I’ve been going to a lot lately.  Well I get out of work, come home and pack in like 3 minutes.  Unfortunately I had to rush to get kl0wn and get to the bank, so there was no time for a shower.  This would be a problem two days later.  I spend a good 45 minutes looking for kl0wn’s bloody road.  After I realize that I’ve been going up and down the wrong road and finally find his crib, I must wait for his last minute packing.
   Sorry Bryce, but I must comment on this.  Every single tournament that we have to drive to, Bryce is never ready on time.  EVER.  This usually leads to one of the gang flipping out.   To top it off this time he tells me we have to go to Kinko’s to get some flyers printed.  So we go to the bank where I talk to my mom (insert random mother comment here).  Then we proceed to Kinko’s.  kl0wn waits in line and asks the man for some copies made.  The random douchebag tells him that he will need to get a Kinko’s card and do it himself.  So we end up boycotting that store, which I urge you all to do.  So we went down the road to Staple’s and they do it without any hassle for less cash.  Score!
   Then we drive and drive and drive some more.  Kl0wn humors me with random stories of his love life.  Some of which are just downright scary.  Anyway, we drive and drive and drive some more.  Finally we reach our destination – Big Willie’s Cajun BBQ.  Fuck Waterbury, Big Willie’s is the only reason we go on these damn roadtrips.  So we sit there, and eat a ton.  <3 Unlimited soup and salad bar.  <3 Cajun cheesefries  (and there was no gravy on them Ben… you sick fucks in Mass).  Recently I have given up the ingestion of beef and pork products (insert random homosexual comment here), but Big Willie’s makes me cry as I eat a bigass steak.  After we leave the greatest place in the world, we get cigs down at this cool little town.
   Again Bryce makes us stop since the weather is getting chilly, and he needs a sweatshirt.  Our next location is the worst place in the world, Wal*Mart.  Fuck Wal*Mart, fuck it hard.  We spend a good hour in there looking for the perfect cheap hoodie, and an alarm clock since we figured out that there was a good chance of crashing in the car ahead of us.  I also pick up the Punisher DVD.  Well we survived Wal*Mart, but I was a little agitated.  Then we drive and we drive and we drive some more.  Finally we arrive in Waterbury.
   Long story short – we end up sleeping in my car outside some bus depot.  And by sleep I mean I sleep, and keep getting yelled at for my snoring.  Sorry kl0wn. We make it to the tournament and do our meet and greet thing.  This part is always fun, getting to see people you only talk to online with, and at these tournaments.  Well here’s where I start talking about magic.  Recently, I’ve sold all my Type-1 playable cards (Kowal where’s my money, bitch!), and I can only play the Burninator now.  This deck just owns anything with workshops, and random scrub players.  For those of you who I played, sorry I didn’t take notes, and I wrote down everything I could remember at work today.  

Round 1 – Some kid with Trinket Mage/Salvager.dec
   I haven’t seen half of these new cards and I didn’t realize the set was out or playable yet.  Well I play mox monkey and pyrostatic pillar.  Two very fast games.

1-0

Round 2 – Random Workshop.dec
   I win even though 2/3 games he gets a first turn trinisphere.

2-0

Round 3 – Some G/R zoo.dec?
   He spends time bolting my gorilla shamans; I spend time sending fire to the dome.

3-0

Round 4 and 5 – I don’t really remember these rounds all that well, except for seeing workshops, and I don’t lose to workshops.

4-0
5-0

Round 6 (the beginning of my failure) I look at the pairings and notice I’ve slipped the ranks of the table, I sit down and see my last round opponent at the top table.  So I ask Ray about it and he says it can happen, but to check my points.  So I do, and I only have 12 points.  So I ask to see my match slip, as all I thought was “oh my god, I did not fill out that match slip wrongâ€?.  And I didn’t it was just entered into the computer wrong, and it gets fixed.  So I go to the top table to face Grand Inquisitor.  

Game one he goes mox mox land tinker.  I cry.  Game two wasn’t much better.

5-1

G-I is one helluva guy, like he said in his report; I have partied with him at several pre-Waterbury shindigs.  The only thing I’d like to change about our games in the past is that I win them.  I can’t ever seem to take a game from this guy.  Oh well, it’s always a pleasure playing against him either way.

Round 7 – Ben Kowal.  
   You can read all about this in his report.

5-2

Round 8 – Ashok playing some workshop.dec without workshops.dec
   Close games, he ended up winning the match.  I’ve seen this guy around at most of the tournaments that I go to, and he seems like one hell of a nice guy.  

5-3

    So then I proceed to cry, and cry, and cry.  I had an amazing start and just crashed after round 5.  Then I watched Kowal play, hoping he’s lose since he said he’d trade me the playmat.  If any of you reading got one and is interested in trading or selling it, IM me on AIM @ Big D of CF.  All in all it was a great tournament, aside from going 5-3, and the bacon-bits.  Dear lord, that was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done in my life.  
   Trip home, I pretty much slept through it all even though we slept in the car again that night.  We finally get back to Binghamton and I want Chinese food, but I realize I hadn’t bathed or changed since Friday and I was pretty funky.

Goddamnit, I'm not eight!!!

You Hadley people should know me.  kl0wn and myself have been driving out there a lot lately to try and take down your damned power tourneys.  Unfortunatly, my car hates Hadley and decides to break down everytime up there which causes me to play even crappier then normal.

<3 Guerrilla Tactics.  And to clarify what happened, JP twisted my hand, so in response I PoP.  He Drains it, I PoP again, and he scoops.  Even though it wasn't lethal.  So I showed him the single tactics in my hand which would of been lethal.

He dropped after losing to the Fringe's Burninator.

Burninator fears no togs, titans, or angels.  

Unfortunately it cowers in fear of first turn trinisphere.

Have you SEEN Carl before, he is one sexy androgenious World Champion.  And there was a chick in bed too, and I think/hope that Carls clothes stayed on all night.  I know mine didn't though.  :lol:

Isn't it funny how a thread on chugging syrup makes the females of the community come alive?
 


Ya know Ben, you do have quite the feminine look sometimes.  You should've cuddled with Devo that night.

Yeah it did come out, but the footage sucks.  I completely forgot I had the camera at first and just stood back in awe saying, "oh my god".  Then I realized I had the cam and started in.  I'll have it uploaded somewhere online sooner or later.  I will keep you all informed.

Hey, this is Derek of Binghamton here.  I'd like to thank you guys, and girl for participating in this event.  Hopefully next time I'll get another one going.  And I'll take better footage of it, as this time I was just watching in awe then realized I was holding the video camera.

You guys made me extremely happy as noone really mentioned the syrup chuggin in their reports, then I find a thread to it.  Happy times.
