It's over for all of you, man. 

Seriously, I'm sooo there and sooooo not screwing around this time.  I won't settle for anything less than Top 4.

[Clown of Tresserhorn]

You know, I'd totally have my money on Meandeck....but CO will be there. Seriously folks, we own Meandeck :lol:

On a side note, are the boys from BHWC coming out to this one? We should all stay close and fucking party our asses off before and after the tourney. I'll finally be 21 and I know CO will be bringing the Mary Jane. Good times ahead!

Also, seriously, Past Times needs to train some of there fucking judges. If some shit happens like what happened to Limoges at the Chicago, I'm going to be pissed.

-Bob

[forests failed you]

I will definately be out for this event.  Of all the Starcity Power events Chicago is by far the best one.  Hopefully some of the other Michigan players will accompany me to this event.

[M.Solymossy]

I will be there, and I wont have Auriok Salvagers in my deck for this one.... SO i may make it to round 3!

[vroman]

team ogre will be there in force.

[Komatteru]

I should make an obligatory statement about Meandeck domination, but I don't feel its necessary.  Meandeck being at a tournament obviously implies that there will be Meandeck domination.

[Green Knight]

I dunno even when you beat the Colorado Crew you still give us the win (R5 Vintage Champs  ), my money is on CO all the way!

edit - spelling

[M.Solymossy]

Bet all you want but the guys from the north (Milwaukee)  will cockslap all of you and take it.

Also, stickied.

[MuzzonoAmi]

There will be at least 2 people from Case here, and I'll be one of them.

Domination of the 2-2 bracket, just like last time I was there.

I have an infinite and zero record with asians.  Your Roland Chang tech can't touch me.

I likely will be too ass broke to attend, but if not you'll see me there.  I'll be the one doing demonstrations of actual dominance.  If you want more information, you can ask Godot what absolute dominance implies.   

[forests failed you]

Josh and I are both sponsored for this event so hopefully we will step up to the plate and make the LONG drive out to Richmond next weekend for this one.  Also, I have two new apprentices I hope to bring with me to this event. 

Prepare to be dominated; Resistance is futile.

[Changster]

How many asians are out there? 
Remember, this is Vintage we're talkin about, not Standard.

You have been touched, but not by an angel.

[raye]

<------

Yup. I'm Asian.

And I even expect to be there at this one.

[M.Solymossy]

It's important to note that Passtimes will NOT be in Niles anymore.  I got an email stating that the landlord for passtimes sold the lease contract to Wal Mart.  I tell ya, Wal Mart fucks everything.

It HAS been noted that the rest of the events were said to be held in the area's surounding hotels... but it would be great if we would get more info about this.

[Clown of Tresserhorn]

Thats [CENSORED] ...when did they do that? If it's in any hotel, it better be the [CENSORED]Holidae Inn. That way I can get my [CENSORED] party on (with Sara) in the hotel before I dominate all you [CENSORED]! Seriously guys, my [CENSORED] will be flowing STRONG at this event. At the very least, I'll be drunk off my [CENSORED] off some Seagram's Gin. Boy am I looking forawrd to this thing.

-"Mike Jones"

I got complaints about your post, so I censored it a little. I think it's more amusing this way, and it gives you the status of a gangsta rapper. Want me to whip you up a Parental Advisory custom tag?  - Bram

Meandeck thanks RIW Hobbies for its contribution to our prize. 

[forests failed you]

ahem;  Like I already said

Prepare to be dominated; Resistance is futile

and this goes double for you Jdizzle.


Besides, even if I have one of those off days, (which are few and far between), its not like I actually paid my money to play magical cards!  Therefore, I can't lose.

[TheBrassMan]

I should make an obligatory statement about Meandeck domination, but I don't feel its necessary.  Meandeck being at a tournament obviously implies that there will be Meandeck domination. I mean, come on, just look at richmond last week, where the only members of our team attending got 2nd and 3rd, and our list took home first.  Oh wait, that was GGs, the only person from our team who top 8'd rode in a car with them and obviously stole their tech.  I apologize, I'm a scrub

Come now, JD, I mean, I know we're better than you, but you don't have to call yourself a scrub.  You don't have to be down on yourself because you only got let on the kiddie team.  You're a solid player, maybe if you keep working at it, we'll consider you somewhere down the line.

[Roxas]

I shall be in attendance.  Hope to meet all of you there. 


P.S. Demars: my Sundering Titan says hi.  ^_^

P.S. Demars: my Sundering Titan says hi.  ^_^

That game was a joke.  I mulliganed, played Ancestral Recall into your Force of Will, countered your next few spells, drew Zero business draw spells the rest of the game and got beaten by a hard cast Sundering Titan after you drew the nuts.  I think that Victory had much more to do with you resolving TFK and FOF after I ran out of counters than Sundering Titan. 

That game was a disaster, I would have lost to Urza's Engine had you played that instead of Titan.

I've got Trisk and Bus, and I'm going to do my best to have business spells.  Bring it!

[Roxas]

I know, I was just trying to have some fun with you, and you reacted exactly as I predicted you would.  Hopefully you continue be so predictable until next we meet -_-

In any case, may our next match be in the top eight, instead of round eight. 

[Komatteru]

Roland and I weren't at Richmond. Therefore, you weren't given the full experience of the Meandeck Massacring Machine.  GG's Care Bear Stare only works when all the members are there.  I mean, without Quicksilver Dagger, the best use of a Brass Man is to discard to those super super savage TfKs! Or keep in hand to power up that sweet sweet LoA!

Are you still upset that I chose Meandeck over your team?   And then Roland took it all?

PS: After I beat you, I'll let you sign the foil Gifts Ungiven Kowal has to cough up to me for Roland winning the Champeenship.  It'll serve as a nice reminder for the Gift of a free win you just gave me.

[forests failed you]

You sure talk a lot of shit for somebody who has never actually made a major top 8; hopefully the good players on your team will be able to back up all the trash talking you've been doing in this thread.  j/k.

Anybody who wants to meet up, smoke out, get drunk, and then make the long trekk to White Castle (I'm talkin' to you BHWC!), gimme a call (720-933-6664).
