Sunday: Elder Dragon Highlander!

This Sunday is Elder Dragon Highlander!

Here's the current list:

Jeff D: Momir Vig
Ryan Fl: Teneb
Bob: Scion of the Ur-Dragon
Kevin C: Treva
Scott B: Angus Mackensie
JC: Teysa
Mason: Hanna
Dan P: Venser
Rob Sh: Multani
Donny G: Zur
Cheev: Tsabo Tavoc
Robert Sk: Cromat
Ethan: Erayo
Jon A: Garza Zol
Kyle: Jasmine Boreal

That's 15 people! (So far)
Right now the format will look something like this:

Round 1: Two 8-player games
Round 2: Four 4-player games
Round 3: Five 3-player games
Round 4: Eight 2-player games

Obviously there will be some slight differences in the number of players for some games, as those numbers there don't work out exactly for anything :-P

In every round, you will earn points equal to the number of players you survive in that game, mulitplied by that round's multiplier. Thus, if five people die before you, and the multiplier for the round was 3, then you gain 15 points.

The multipliers for rounds will probably be 3, 4, 6 and 7, respectively. Please feel free to complain, and we'll see what we can do to make it more/less fair.

March NBE: Voting!

Hey gang,

We need to decide on a constructed format for our March NBE. Here are your voting options:

1) Elder Dragon Highlander (apparently the rules are here. I don't know what kind of modifications we would have to make, but there's the basic idea.)

2) OneCC. We've added a lot of cards to Legacy since we last did this. Seems like it would be good to do it again.

3) Good old Peasant Highlander.

4) Good old Pauper Highlander. (Have we ever actually done Pauper before?)

5) Peasant Build-Your-Own Standard

Awesome. Those are the choices. Vote for some of them! (Don't rank, please.)

progressive deckmaster stuff added to website

Check out our homepage. I added stuff about Progressive and Deckmaster formats. (And explained the combined event.)

Wow, our site needs an overhaul, eh? Maybe I'll have the chance to work on that at some point... :-P

NBE: February 2008: Emperor!

We need to vote: Draft Emperor or Sealed Emperor? In either case, it will be wacky. This NBE will be on February 10, and will probably start at noon or 12:30.

Since there will be some waiting time for people, we will have Progressive Deckmaster on the side.

As usual, this will be wacky. We will do our best to determine teams ahead of time. If you have a team, please email me with your team. If you don't, please email me and I'll try to find you a team. If there is an extra team missing one person, I'll join that team at the tournament.

Since this is limited, there will be no entry fee, and prizes will be determined by redrafting rares/foils/purples.

Great!

Casual playing

Hey gang,

Joshua is looking for monkeys to challenge him to some casual games. Leave a messsage here (I don't wanna give out his email addy unless he wants me to) and I'm sure he'll get in touch with you!

Bonus!

NBE: November

Hey gang:

We are voting on the Next Big Event! This is going to be build-your-own Type 2, which means the following:

Pick two blocks between Lorwyn and the Rath Cycle, including also Ice Age (Ice Age, Alliances, Coldsnap) and one Core Set (from Revised to Tenth). Your deck will be built from these sets, adhering to any bannings in that block or during standard while that block was legal. (No raffinity, etc). Then, we'll play one of the following Tournaments:

A) Peasant

B) Pauper

C) Tag Team Peasant(as we tried before; each player gets to use only one of the two blocks to build their decks. However, both may pull cards from the same core set. Also... it's Peasant.)

D) 2HG (with randomized teams each round)

As usual, we'll be using approval voting! :-P Go ahead and vote:-P

When are we actually playing? Please suggest a Sunday in November. The Sundays before and after Thanksgiving are out, sorry.

When is voting closed? I dunno; I'll announce soon.
