After a little break in January for everyone to get their bearings on the new year, the Gamers Lounge in Sandusky, OH is having another Mox tournament!
When:
Sunday, February 11, 2007
Registration starts at noon
Tournament starts at 1 pm
Where:
The Gamers Lounge
127 E. Market St.
Sandusky, OH 44870
(419) 621-0282
Cost:
$20 gets infinite proxies
First place gets a Mox Ruby, and there may be prizes for 2nd-4th as well depending on turnout. More information on prize structure will follow, so stay tuned.
I haven't seen it myself, but Dave, the Gamers Lounge owner, says the Ruby (from Unlimited) is in really nice, almost gradeable shape. We hope to start doing these on the second Saturday of every month, so come out and join the fun! Feasting at Diana's is available afterwards with, most likely, the entire tournament.
Hope to see you there!

This is just to remind everyone that Planar Chaos will be legal for this tournament. If spoilers are to be believed, it looks like there are some exciting cards in this set. Here's your early chance to try them out!
See you in a month!

If Canada shows, Canada wins. Obviously. We'll see about that... Yeah, I feel like I have some honor to defend, having faced and been smote by the Canadian industrial juggernaut multiple times. The question is, do I bring in the big guns or keep sending the Fish in for the kill? Hopefully we get a good turnout on this one. Dave deserves it after giving away a Sapphire to ten people. Cross your fingers on the weather, but I'll be there without a doubt and with vengeance on my mind... |

NOT CANCELLED
For anyone on the email list for the Gamer's Lounge who got an email saying the tournament is cancelled, the tournament is NOT CANCELLED. When we tried to change the date on the tournament from Saturday to Sunday on the calendar, it sent out a cancellation message by mistake.
The tournament is still scheduled for Sunday, February 11, with registration at noon and round one at 1 p.m.
Sorry for any confusion and the interruption.

Rumor has it that there is going to be a huge contingent of Cleveland gamers coming out to this. Including the selfproclaimed greatest mtg player ever "Brain" . IM KING LIKE probably the greatest type one player in the world. i mean i have 66% chance of winning a mox everytime Thats the Brain for ya. If you knock out the Brain I'll give ya a Steam Vents altered by me and Brain. This tourney is going to be a blast! |

Well, unless someone from around here wants to drive me to this event, it doesn't look like Team OG/Canada will be there... No one wants to drive in the winter snow...
Sorry Nat.

I'm gonna get that Titan! I hope Brain's playing Five-Color Socks (a.k.a. Crappy Gifts) again.
More importantly, it looks like the weather won't be too bad for this weekend. 30% chance of snow the preceeding two days and sunny on Sunday.
Despite some people reporting that they're not coming (Canada, parts of Cleveland, I'm looking in your directions, but not at the same time 'cause it hurts), I've heard from far more that they are. We should still have a great turnout for this! Everybody come out and show your support so we can keep having tournaments at this fine location.

This is the speech I modified and sent to all the members of Team Extreme in regards to the mox tourney to be held in Sandusky on the 11th of February.
Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Team Extreme, all this stuff you’ve heard about gamers not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the game, is a lot of horse dung. Team Extreme traditionally loves to fight. All real gamers love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion, the Black Lotus, the fastest deck, the big league magic player, the toughest side board. Team Extreme loves a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Team Extreme plays to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Team Extreme has never lost and will never lose a tourney. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Team Extreme.
Now, Team Extreme is a team. It lives, eats, sleeps, fights as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the good of magic don’t know anything more about real battle than they do about fornicating.
We have the finest cards and decks, the best spirit and the best team in the world. You know, by God I actually pity those poor bastards we’re going up against. By God, I do. We’re not just going to beat the bastards, we’re going to cut out their living guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy other gaming bastards by the bushel.
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not you'll chicken out under the draw. Don't worry about it. I can assure you that you will all do your duty. The opponent sitting across from you is the enemy. Wade into them. Spill their blood. Shoot them in the belly. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that a moment before was your best friend's face, you'll know what to do.
Now there’s another thing I want you to remember. I don’t want to get any messages saying that we are holding our position. We’re not holding anything. Let the opponent do that. We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the opponent. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through him like crap through a goose.
There’s one thing that you men will be able to say when you get back home. And you may thank God for it. Thirty years from now when you’re sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what did you do in the great Gamers Lounge tourney, you won’t have to say, "Well, I shoveled crap in Ohio."
Alright now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh, and I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys into battle – anytime, anywhere.
That’s all.
I will see you on the battle field.
Team Extreme is prepared to eat thumb tacks just to be at this event. We will be in full force and ready to defend against anyone from taking our power out of Ohio.
