Waterbury Bingo(You don't need to go to play!)

[iamfishman]

Hey all,

Have you heard about Waterbury Bingo...it's all the rage...all the kids are playing it.

Here's how.

1.) You start with a five by five grid like so

Then you simply fill in names of 25 type one magic players expecting to play at the upcoming Mana Drain Open V in Waterbury like so.

http://uploads.savefile.com/redir/55770.bmp

Feel free to discuss your choices with others and strategies(center square tech for example) and of course, post your particular bingo board.

Just prior to Waterbury, I will ask a mod to lock this thread so all answers at that point will be finalized.

You can mark off on your "Waterbury Bingo" board every player who makes top 32 at the next Waterbury.  The person who makes the most bingos(four corners, row, column, diagonal) on their board will receive a special prize mailed to them shortly after the event.

In the event of a tie for the most bingos, the winner will be the person with the most overall correct guesses.  The last tiebreaker will be placement of those players(for example correctly guessing the winner will hold more weight then guessing the second place finisher and so on).

For reference, here is a list of players who attended the previous Waterbury.  If your name is not on this list, please indicate that you will be present for anyone that wants to use your name on there board.

Good Luck

HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
I H8 bingo!!!!!! so no way i'm gonna be involved with this, but it's a really kind of interesting idea.  Good job thinking up creative ways to get people to be involved with Waterbury!

[Kasuras]

1) Could you please make the pictures not .bmp but something like .jpg?
2) Picture 1 seems to be not working.
3) Are foreign people allowed to play along?
4) Can Dutchies play along?
5) Can foreign people win something?
6) Can Dutchies win something?
7) Are nicknames of people okay too? Since I don't know any of them in real life.

Thanks.

1.) Can't you just download it and resave it as a JPG in paint?
2.) Hmm...it is working for me...however, my particular 5 by 5 grid isnt the be-all end-all.  You can just make one up in any program and put 25 names in it.
3.) Foreign people are more than welcome.
4.) Dutchies are more than welcome
5.) Foreign people can most definitly win.
6.) Dutchies can most definitely win.
7.) TMD Handles are okay...but don't use nicknames that only you and one other person know.

Good luck.

I was actually reffering to the size of it, but whatever.

My entry!

http://picserver.mirror.twistspace.com/img.php?/8QQSV3T723QU/53V3G8AFV62S/JPEG/1103569028//1072

And in case my picserver goes down, which according to the host will happen in a few days. It's not that stable..

From left to right:

Rico Suave, Crazycarl, The Atog Lord, Zherbus, Smmenen

thorme, Matt, Hi-Val, Saucemaster, Kowal

Doomhed, The METHOD, Brassman, Ill_Dawg, J_Orlove

Mixing Mike, jpmeyer, Dicemanx, PTW

Richard Garfield, Triple_S, Diaonic, Windfall, CH4INS


No idea if all of them still play or will attend, but hey; if I'm the only contender.

GL, HF, GG.

[CHA1N5]

kasuras: you might want to check the attendance on a few of your entries.  (ie. Team SideBoard will not be there in full force)

Richard Garfield, Triple_S, Diaonic, Windfall, CH4INS

Richard Garfield = Piss my pants funny.

[Komatteru]

For the record, Mark Biller (Windfall) has pretty much stop playing constructed Magic alltogether, and currently plans to trade his smaller stuff for power and then sell that.  Consequently, there is a 0% chance that he will be appearing at Waterbury.  In fact, no one from Michigan will be there.  Naturally, this makes for an easier time on everyone who is going.  

I'm still working on my board.  A great deal of thought is going into this...

[Matt]

thorme, Matt, Hi-Val, Saucemaster, Kowal

This is pretty funny considering I'm 1500 miles away, own no cards worth mentioning, and have only a pair of unsanctioned fifteen-man 1.5 tournaments under my belt.

[Mixing Mike]

Check!!

[Smmenen]

Everyone is making a huge mistake not putting Justin Walters (Saucemaster) on those lists.

[Kowal]

Nah, they're just giving me the nod over him, because they know I've sworn to eliminate him from contention as revenge for Richmond.

[Mixing Mike]

He's going?  Oh my, I'll have to change this thing.........

[Whatever Works]

ack! i am so damn lazy I couldnt get thing up all fancy like mixing Mike...

Oh well here is my list from left to right....

Row 1: Kyle Leith, Steven Houdlette (Sp?), Rich Shay, Brassman, Method (Ashok)
Row 2: Eastman (David Lawrence), Smmenen, Joe Bushman, J.P. Mayer, Zherbus
Row 3: Jacob Orlove, Mark Perez, Ben Kowell, Dicemanx, Corey Canfield
Row 4: John Longo, Kevin Cron, Carl Winter, Matrix, Eli Kassis
Row 5: MixingMike, Doug Linn, Last 3 spots go to random Team Shortbus/meandeck people...

@ Ray ---> Someday you will spell my name right... someday... I have a dream!!! in 2+ years you always put my name in as Kyle Leitt or Kyle Leth... its Kyle Leith!!! I have made enough non-waterbury top 8's that you must have seen it spelled right at some point in time!!! Hell, you have even signed tournement result forms against me... you put the 2 wins check next to my name that was spelled correctly!!! The last name is not that difficult... even for a math teacher... If you can spell Scotts Houdlette (sp?) last name correct how can mine be wrong every tournement for 2+ years! However your tournements are still the best, even though you always make advances on my friend John.

[WildWillieWonderboy]

I'm putting alot of thought into this; consulting various sources on Feng Shui to insure that my arrangement is auspicious.

Oh how little you know, fringe dweller. The team is alive and well, and none of our members have fallen. Windfall is indeed still a strong part of the vintage community, at least as far as this bleak state goes, and some playtesting has been done. That said, he will still not be at waterbury.

And if anyone would like to dispute Windfall's status, including Windfall himself, feel free to PM me and be put in place.

[CHA1N5]

Carl, you might want to edit BUSH MAN... he won't be attending.

[Kowal]

Carl, you bastard, you ruined my mojo.

Anyway, I need to change my card too.  I'm substituting Eric Miller for Joe Bushman.
