US Nationals - Gen Con

256 x $8? $12? They split that with Gencon, sure …

Got to pay for that airlift of a pallet of D&D somehow, outside of the ‘getting 75-80% profit per by selling direct’ thing.

I do hope that backpack had a D&D in it, or at least some kush.

The Bye isn’t in the kit.
The TO has to send a mail to FFG OP.

Huh, OK.

Still weird to see the prizes cut in half with attendance on the rise. Been playmats for top 8 for the last two years, but eh. Just hoping I can manage to get one.

Not weird. That’s been the modus operandi the past two years.

Knew there was a reason you didn’t make my list. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Seriously, don’t stay away too long. Work will be there the rest of your life.

Asher was using Butchershop.

I dropped my first two games of double elim. Got a slow start against Asher’s butchershop, got up to 6 points but couldn’t find the last agenda. Then had to face Noise as RP. He had a slow start but Hacktist turned off my Cerebral Static. I got up to game point and had to score a TFP off a 50/50 Psi game and failed. All my luck on Swiss ran out.

that siphon hayley is just silly

Josh is usually Proco/Gordo. Did he switch?

nah, mistyped.

a lot of close games toward the end there. lucas’ game against noah came down to a hail mary, third-click single-access (nisei counter scored on noah’s end), to get the one nisei out of a three-card hq that lucas didn’t even know was there.

The jank certainly is real. I think my favorite play of the (yester)day with it was siphoning someone to modded out an Atman at 10 to break a Wotan.

Such a brutal way to lose, but he knew his outs and he played them perfectly. Can’t be mad (even though it looks like I slam my cards in anger at the end; just excitement I promise!)

Those extended SoS values look way off…

Someone said it was eater MaxX but I can’t confirm that. We didn’t play and I was doing my best not to scout.

I now agree with @spags, @anon50033301 is a robot. He literally called whether I was spy or resistance legit ~15 times in a row. Xray vision, detailed facial movement analysis, or something… only explanation!

And this is before anyone had closed their eyes to let spies see each other. Straight up read my face as I looked at my card.

I’m sure up it was Eater MaxX.

Didn’t realize I was surrounded by poker players till today, sorry if I offended.

You fool. Never look at your card.

On the other hand, he called me out as being spy almost every round, and happened to be correct a couple times.
