Players at Umass Amherst?

[yangtze34]

Any here go to the Zoo?  I've been trying to set stuff up there for a couple of weeks now via facebook, but the interest level is pretty low.  Lemme know if you play and you go to Umass Amherst.

I used to work there (I work in Northampton now) and Outlaw goes to school there.  Aside from that, your options are pretty limited.

We used to have a ton of the oldschool regulars there, like Eastman, and hulk3rules lived in Hadley.  Unfortunately most of the oldschool Hadley scene died down or moved away.

I don't generally make trips to Hadley or Amherst given how much I despised working up there, but give a shout sometime, and if I have time perhaps I can make an exception.

Anywhere around amherst to play?  Whether it be vintage or sanctioned constructed?  I'd definately like to get something together in the future Kowal.  If I can get enough interest in Umass, I'll try to get a tournament together or maybe some drafts.

X9 Games, formerly Collector's Corner, formerly T&T Beanies used to host friday and saturday type one tournaments, but last I heard X9 was going out of business or some such suckage, and they switched to type two anyway.

Further proof that Absolute Lack of Power Corrupts Absolutely.

As far as other stuff, drafting used to go on...  Thursday nights I think, at Phoenix Games in Sunderland.  They were doing two drafts every thursday and one every monday from what I remember, the second on thursday running well in to the wee hours of the morning.  That might be a good place to start.  You could also try Bob's Hobbies in Northampton, they play a lot of casual down there, and a couple retired Vintage players (like Pernicious Dude) hang out there pretty often.

I go to Amherst College, right down the street. I'd be up for Vintage testing sometime. Outlaw probably would too.

That sounds cool dude.  Facebook hasn't revealed much game at the Zoo at all.  Having reliable testing buddies in the area would be great.  I don't have a car so I'd probably have to take the bus to AC or something or you could come over to Umass if you have a car.  Shoot me an IM.  Its the same as my forum name.  peace
