Your just saying that cause RJD is from our home town! Suck Up.

So umm Fantomos? No lyrics, just screaming and wierd noises...

I heard that people actually left the Syracuse, NY Tomahawk/Tool show because of Patton harrasing Tool fans, because, they were boo'ing Tomahawk.

Which is rightfully deserverd, Mr_Rogers has played Tomahawk for me before... aweful.

Having delt on a professional level with Pete in the past, he purchased our store's entire singles stock about a year ago or so, I fully trust him to do what he says!

I wish Steve good luck in his future endevors and with your family!

Aww, that sucks. I hope you feel better! I've suffered many bronchitis infections and I know how much of a pain they can be.

Concerning price drops accross the board, it will happen for the next tournament, which will be for a Bazaar of Baghdad in the near future.

If anyone does come up from Binghamton the Mana Drain tournament in the morning, let the TO at the counter know, we'll see if we can work somthing out

This is our first run at a "real" proxy tournament (by real, we're a small store, so anything over the ~$50 in prizes that we give away weekly is big) and we thought that $15 would be a fair price, based on the other tournaments in the area with similar prizes (Looking at Syracuse area mainly, I did not have much data for the Binghamton area) We originally planned for around 10 people, which would support our price/prize structure for the drain plus additional prizes for the 2nd and 3rd.

We've never taken a profit on entrance fees, every tournament we've ever run the entry fee always go back in to the prizes to the tournament. This is true for our vintage events that we've been running for 9 years, our Arena League and our FNMs. We will even be giving away prizes for our upcoming free vintage events, which some of our players are REALLY excited about!

Here's a deal for you, Kl0wn, and only you! (We'll have you log on to TMD from one of our networked computers just so we can prove it's you), I'll pay your entry, including proxies, (Now don't be too harsh ) if you "rally kids from binghamton" and a few come up with you, ultimately the prize pool will be higher and I'll get to play some people from out side town instead of beating the scrubs at our store all the time... <J/K> Mr_Rogers a posting member here at TMD and one of the people who play at Area 51 on a regular basis got 173rd (last place) at the recent SSGs Rochester (Happy Birthday Buddy! Don't Kill me, just giving examples ). Dana who always plays rogue played the "Dominating Licid-Fish" deck. 

I suck too... I got 169th at the recent SSG Rochester, so maybe you'll walk away with a mana drain after all!

I do appreciate your input, I see your point of view and in the future we'll take this in to account when we are promoting our next tournament!

Thanks!

Bumped.

Fish has brought back some of our older "budget" players and younger kids to our local scene. The older budget players left because our scene over time forgot what the attack step was, and they couldn't compete any longer with their favorite semi-casual deck. The younger kids could never really top 8 because all they could afford was (bad) goblins, elves or other weenie decks that could never compete in the scene. Fish has leveled the playing field, it can be played unpowered in an powered environment and do well and best of all, it's a very cheap deck. Yesterday afternoon, I helped a younger guy build it, at our local store and I think he may have spent less $30 on it! Best of all he's going to play in our proxy tournament this weekend with it, and he's always refused to play in our tourney's because he thought he couldn't compete!

If anyone is planning to come, please PM me.

Hello Everyone! Just introducing myself!

I'm a long time "semi-casual" (Read as: "I suck") Type 1 player. I heard that this IS the T1 BBS and that there is a lot of players from the Upstate/East region hang out here and I wanted to know what the type one meta-game is out side of the store I play at (Ours is very strange it seems from what I am reading so far!) And borrow some tech, so I can actually win a tourny

I work in a gaming shop in Cortland, NY (About A half hour away from both Syracuse and Binghamton, right in the middle) Called Area 51, We've got a Type 1 every Sunday that's been going on for at least 8 years.
