12/13/2008 - GIGABITS - All I want for Xmas is Another Melee

[nevershootme]

oh i got tatsunoko vs capcom today so im bringing that to gigs

my setup will be mostly melee, but if it gets slow and people wanna break for some TvC, then it'll be cool! mm, tru?

oh god****it. I wanna play that ****... unless there's arcade sticks or classic controllers, i'd be down if i can come with seibrik... if all else fails lets play iidx lololol

 

[hungrybox]

..........sigh


hm

Zoro you wanna team?

 

[Loto]

Wtf, apparently I work 6-9 today....stupidest shift ever. I'm gonna try to get someone to take it from me.


If not tho then I can't come.

And if I come I'll bring my mtg deck and **** some peeps up.

 

[h1roshi]

my magic deck is an old school elf deck that is completely illegal. I could bring it though if you guys have some non tournament decks.

-hiro

 

[Loto]

My deck used to be standard legal but I doubt all of the cards are anymore. It might be tho. It was made for only 50-60 bucks for over 200 cards. so a couple might be banned but it's all good hiro, this is all for fun anyway. ;p

 

[Frames]

oh god****it. I wanna play that ****... unless there's arcade sticks or classic controllers, i'd be down if i can come with seibrik... if all else fails lets play iidx lololol

unfortunately i aint got no sticks

there's only 4 buttons though so it's not really that much of a problem anyway

oh and rx u would **** me cept there's no samurai pizza cat after all

oh and i reaaaaly wanna play iidx haha bring a KOC or whatever and anything from 12th style up

mr. lobstah - yes i play lotsa fighters, i just don't have any sticks so i never practice that much, but yea i got pretty much every fighter on the DC lol and of course u are welcome to play TvC

I'd be down for one of these, if we could get at least 4 people to also be down.

Everyone buys a sealed deck and uses it exactly how it is, and we could just do it like a round robin.

Everyone plays everyone else twice and the first person to win it all wins it all.

We could actually even do it at my place during the last half of singles.

I'm sure singles wont last longer than 7-8. So even if we did it from 7/8 - 10/11, or some times like that, it would probably work out fine.

I'm sure we could get 6-8 people who would be willing to do this!


soooo




12/13 MTG Sealed Deck Tournament at 8PM(ish) at Rx's place. Purchased deck must remain unaltered? No Cheating.

Sounds good?


Also, this is only happening if enough people actually want it to happen. I'm not hosting a 3-man MTG tournament.

Let me know if you are still down at 6 or 7PM during this Gigs, and I will make a list there and see if it's worth doing.

 

[OTRU...]

im down for this if i get knocked out of the tourney early

The way sealed deck works is each player buys a tournament pack and two boosters and makes a deck of at least 40 cards. But in my opinion it would be better if we did a draft since its cheaper (3 boosters per player which is about $9) and its just as fun!! Winner keeps all the cards opened in the draft! tru?

 

[Life After Death]

BRING TVSS

hungry is not jhow u play thta we dont like. UR just an annoying person lol thats whats gay bout u

 

[Zoro]

il team with u box but only if u dont find anyone else

i dont like being told the morning of that u r now teaming with chops or some ****

 

[LozanoGarbanzo]

someone should teach me how to be pro at building decks, I get wrecked when my friends and I do drafts.

Draft or sealed works I guess. I'd rather do sealed though

yeah of course. Can we do rav block though? Its definitely the best limited set lol I'll go buy it tomorrow(the sealed stuff)

And as far as the tourney goes, just do goldpicking lol

lol, lets do it son. We'll grab sealed's from walmart or something.

Walmart doesn't have tourney decks.

You know the basics for sealed right? I can show you what stuff to do as far as sealed go, but its pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Drafting is even easier imo.

 

[Pritch]

I had no idea so many smashers in FL played mtg lol

sealed deck MM's plz :D

Please tell me you're not doing shards sealed. I love the set, but GOD does it suck balls for sealed play. Stupid branching bolt.

Walmart doesn't have tourney decks.

You can just run it with 5 boosters if someone can bring basic lands along since it's not sanctioned. Basically the same mix of cards.

Also, why the hell did you guys wait till after I left florida to start playing magic? Bunch of *****es you are, that's what's up.

zoro is good

QFT

So you agree with me that we need to do rav block right?

because rav is easily the best limited set within the past 5 years.

yeah well I'd rather just do a draft rather than the 5 boosters thing.

I know, mad gay but oh well. I didn't even knew these people played either. Come back for just gigs! :D

 

[Pritch]

Can't (can't make worlds either, which also sucks). I have an exam on thursday that I can't get moved, and a gig saturday night. So I won't even be leaving new orleans still sunday or monday.

I actually never played ravnica block limited, as I didn't really get into limited play till time spiral. Though I have heard from multiple sources that it's an awesome set for it.

Man, I haven't drafted all semester. NO ONE plays limited in new orleans, it's ridiculous. I even have a cube, which people can draft out of for free and lets you draft totally ridiculous decks made up of the best cards in magic, and I STILL can't get a draft going. Wtf.

Incidentally, to give you an idea of the ridiculousness (and because I'm bored) I went over to my cube and picked 15 cards at random from it. What do you first pick out of this pack (first pack, first pick obviously):

Rorix bladewing, griffin guide, diabolic edict, plagued rusalka, azorius guildmage, carven caryatid, spiritmonger, krosan tusker, catastrophe, chrome mox, tolarian academy, phyrexian processor, steam vents, enlightened tutor, and braingeyser.

The pick is actually pretty easy, but it gives you an idea of the card quality we're working with.

Awww man thats super gay. I'd have gone to worlds again for anything.

Timespiral is an ok set for limited, but rav block is one of, if not the best. You should try and do a sealed.

Yeah same, here. I quit playing after I moved here because its all dead except an hour away in ocala, and its pointless to play there because everyone there sucks, and every time I go there I win, so I get bored eventually. oh well. Theres not much here now that I think about it anyways.

I'll do that tomorrow when I wake up lol

 

[Loto]

I would but sadly I cannot make it to gigs. >.<

Fearless has a dumb parade and I don't got my car yet. But next time I'm def up for it.

Who from Gainesville is going?

 

[GodMeowMix]

[OTRU...]

yo cash mooney i dunno about ravnica, im not down to spend money on any extended sets since i only play type 2... id rather it be any of the standard sets (10th, Lorwyn, shadowmoor, morningtide, eventide, shards of alara)

or another cool thing to do would be to draft with a bunch of different standard sets, meaning that every player would get 3 different boosters from different standard sets... winner keeps all the cards!

I know of a card shop thats like 10 min from gigabits, so if you want i could get the boosters and u guys can just pay me back when we play, I also have a box full of lands so ill bring that too!

lemme know whos down for this!

people interested so far:
Rx
cash mooney
me

 

[Loto]

I'll def play next time I come Otru. ;D

 

[Dark Sonic]

I'm down for some MTG. I'd need to buy some cards though (I never actually owned any, I just played with my friend's decks at school).

I'm not good but I know the basic rules and stuff.

Just because its extended doesn't mean it costs more. Its the same as any T2 pack.

 

[rice]

i think the point of his post was that he didn't want to use ANY money on a set that he doesn't use mooney Lol.

 

[Rx-]

Ryan are u going to this?

 

[SheerMadness]

ye s

 

[Raistlin]

Can't we all just get along... and hug? Jyes!?

I love Gmoney.

Juan, I'm teaming with Patrick. We gonna own some hoes.

Truth! BTW, try to convince Josh school is unimportant so he'll skip his exam and come win singles. Same for Dennis.

 

[mkGmoney]

I love Raisins... I wish I could make it to this.

Spoiler

G's raisin MONEY!!

 

[Smilez]

SE FL is going to own this. Nuff said.

 

[GodMeowMix]

The Gainesville Geodudes aren't coming to this?! This is not right..

Hbox I have no idea whats going on I just didn't know if riding with Mooney was definite, but now I guess I am going with him, if not then I just wont go and will rely on myself for rides when I fix my car.
