Not a definite but James Hangley might be showing up
 This James Hangley? Who was big pimping at one of my original mox tourneys 5 years ago? =D I've also heard rumors of some other characters returning to Eternal Weekend...  and  Perhaps even this adorable Jawa and incredibly ugly Horse will appear  and who could forget...  That's a spewy amateur if I ever saw one. Of course I can't forget to mention our head judge for the weekend...  The always professional Joe Harrington (yes he's dressed as me :p) Oh boy. This tournament. Oh boy. - Dave |

Hooraaaay!!! This makes me so happy. I'll be attending both days. Plus I can finally retrieve my red SIGG water bottle. (If it's no longer there, I understand) Hi Mr. Snow  I did not realize you were Diakonov, would've said hi to you much earlier. I can't seem to find your red water bottle that was left here way back, I put it aside and I believe it may have been accidentally disposed of during one of our store cleaning sessions  I still hold out hope that your water bottle may be found, but I would prepare for the worst. I appreciate your constant support of my events though and I will make it up to you. - Dave |

I will most likely be coming out for this one. With EDH being the only Magic I've played since your last event, I'm pretty sure this is going to be hilarious.

Thank you the clarification of prize splits here as well as the other link. Is there another link for discussion of "setting up 5 suitcases"?
That is to say, while I understand the spirit of the rule, I can imagine someone honestly accidentally crossing the line. Is there perhaps some number limit on amount of individuals we can trade with, or perhaps a limit on the number of bags we can bring? Like I say, I do understand the principle, but unless you formally define something it does run the risk of uneven enforcement and confusion, and I'd hate to get kicked out for trading just because I don't understand exactly where it crosses over to acting as a dealer.

Trading is fine and actually encouraged at my events. You don't have to worry about accidentally being mistaken for a suitcase dealer if you don't literally bring a suitcase. Just bring an acceptable amount of stuff to trade, and please don't buy or sell unless it's with the store. It's just common sense policy that is identical to venues such as Starcity Games. For the record, this is SCG's policy: "While trading is fine, please note that buying/selling cards with anyone except for our authorized dealer(s), or soliciting to do so elsewhere, is strictly forbidden at this event. Failure to obey this rule may result in both the buyer and the seller being removed from the event without refund, and banned from attending future events. Star City Events also reserves the right to limit the amount of space being occupied by any one individual while trading, and does not allow the use of suitcases, handcarts, luggage carts, etc. to be used for the purpose of transporting excessive amounts of trade stock." http://forums.starcitygames.com/showthread.php?37358At my events, I am the dealer. Basically replace 'Starcitygames' with 'Die Hard Games' and you've got my stance on buying/selling/trading at my store. You should definitely bring some binders and trade with people. I don't want you to feel like you're going to get a hood put over your head and wind up in a back alley dumpster for bringing a binder. :p I would imagine that if you're not sure whether or not you're crossing a line: you are. Players know where the line is and when they're crossing it. The line only gets crossed if you're trying to buy/sell cards with someone other than the store. You don't 'accidentally' sell cards to someone else. That kind of dealing interferes with the event and causes alot of strife for the TO, who usually only breaks even on the actual tourney and relies on singles to make additional profit. Also, personally speaking, for someone else to try and deal cards in my store really makes me a sad panda because I am known for having very reasonable card prices. When someone rolls in with tons of trade stock and a laptop/suitcase/sherpa, they are actively hurting the TO because they are literally setting up shop in another shop for free. They are taking money out of the TO's pocket, who in most cases does not actually make money off the actual tournament and rely heavily on being able to buy/sell at their own event. If the TO finds it not to be worth it to compete with suitcase dealers, sometimes they just give up because it ends up not being worth running the event. I know that's a big reason why Travis isn't running anything anymore and honestly that's a big loss to New England Vintage. I've had alot of fun running these in the past and I believe players have always enjoyed playing in my tourneys over the years. My judge staff is tops and by the time top 8 rolls around, I'll have store credit and cash buyout prices available for all to see. I also anticipate my buyback prices to be higher than ever because I always base those on attendance and from what I can tell this Eternal Weekend could be one of my highest ever attended weekends So although it's been focused on more than I expected, I hope people understand why I have the 'no buying/ selling with other players' policy in place at my store. I just want to be able to run more of these, and that's why the policy is in place. I just ask that people don't consider breaking my one rule (I sound like Batman :p) and they'll have a great time. Thanks again for all your support. I really am looking forward to seeing everyone again =D - Dave |

"After these years of arguing I've conceded that Merchant Scroll in particular can be an exception to this rule because it is a card that you NEVER want to see in multiples, under any circumstances. Merchant Scroll can be seen as restricted in a way because should you have 2 in a hand, only one is really useful (that is, only one can get Ancestral)."

Are you telling me your last two Vintage events were meaningless?!?!? :O
I don't remember you doing well in them. Maybe you did, but if I don't remember them it didn't happen.I also re-create history when I don't want to remember something. For example, Brassman's only Pro Tour came off him piggy-backing me in a team event. He did not qualify on his own for a pro tour. People told me he Q'd for a pt off a GP finals, but that simply didn't happen. There's no way Brassman could have an individual GP finish higher than me. It's Brassman. I do have to give kudos to those people for the very elaborate April Fool's Joke. Anyway back to things that are actually happening- Taylor won't be top 8'ing my event, but you can! It's this Saturday. Yay. - Dave |
