After Swiss, will it cut to top 8, or top 16? I'll be there regardless, but if you cut to top 8, I'm going to have to finish 9th to match last tournament's missing elimination rounds by 1 place.

I recommend you switch the 11 to a 1 in the thread title.
Not like it matters to me, because I'll be in Chicago for both of those dates. Damn.

500 times the value of 2^x if 2^x + 2^(x+1) = 4^x + 4^(x+1) That would be dopeness factor 300 for those interested. |

I cannot be positive I'll make it, but wherever my nemesis and secret lover Phantom Tape Worm goes, I am likewise compelled to go. And remember, after SCG2, I'm Meandeck's good luck charm. Or Jor<3 is, maybe, but since we're both going to be there, alot of you can probably just concede now and save yourselves a long trip.  |

How many of y'all remember ill_dawg? Yeah, this guy. ->>  Well, he wants to make the trip, but he needs a little help. Apparently zl is worth pretty much nothing outside of poland, which means there need to be a couple contributions to get him on board the plane. So here's the idea I had. If we get enough contributions to cover the section of the ticket he can't afford (roughly a half of the cost) then I'll use whatever overflow there is and a little money of my own to throw out a raffle prize or two. I know plenty of you guys want to hang out with an old homie again, and plenty others still want to meet him. Here's the chance. I'm gonna throw a paypal donation link on a webpage somewhere in the near future for those who can't get the dough to me in time to fund the flight. |

A tournament this big needs an afterparty big enough to do it justice. This will be all of TMD in one room. Is there a brave soul who will offer up their place of residence to the epic and monumental gathering? Whoever wants to step forward, consider at least 30-50 people showing up. On the bright side, you won't have to pay for any drinkables at the party; we'll take care of that. Any heroes in the crowd?
If this doesn't work, we'll have to roam the nearest college town for a frat party to crash : (

Sadly, after hearing this, JACO no longer wishes to attend. He really had his heart set on that highest female prize. |

In the old days, when tournaments were just starting, we'd sometimes get a running tally of who was planning on attending, could we try that here, with Ray or someone keeping track on the 1st or 2nd post?
I think this is worthwhile, since I'm anticipating a turnout of greater size and equal celebrity to GenCon.

I think that the Libraries will bring more people as oposed to the duals. the AB duels are for people who already own all the power and a library and such. A library as a whole is a much better prize.
I really shouldn't talk cuz i can't make TMD5 (wisconsin is a LONG drive)
