Tournament! May 8th
Format: 25 point "Achievement Unlocked."
Time: High noon! (First dice roll at 12:30)
Entry: $5
Prizes: Store Credit, plus other cool stuff! We're looking at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes (I hope).
We're still trying to get some of the newer players to come join us, so AU is perfect for that (where the most losses can be a good thing!)
Achievement Unlocked works like this:
One list only of 25 points.
No time limits, but you want to get in as many games possible. Winners of a game stay at their table, losers go find another person to challenge.
Each player will have a list of possible Achievements. As you succeed in an achievement, you mark it off on your list. For each achievement you have made by the end of the tournament, you get one point. The person with the most points wins!

I am trying to make it to this event. BUT, for my training program, I need to work at least one Sunday and the 8th may be the Sunday that I have to work. The work schedule will be done by Wednesday so I can get you an answer by then.
Looks like I will be there unless a zombie outbreak happens, in which case, all bets are off.
Cool!
So Charlie, did you forget that May 8th was Mother's Day by chance? That may be why no one is posting about this tournament.
Doh!
Your point, John? :)
Yeah, I realized the conflict a couple days ago. Not much to do about it now though. I'll still be there...if we have to postpone, we will.




Well, I don't seem to be getting many people interested in tournaments. Is anyone showing up to this one?
I'll be there that day regardless, so I guess we can just get some games in.
Are people just not interested anymore? Should I continue to schedule more? thats rather sad...
