I think swag has mostly reached its saturation limit. At least it has around here.

If the City Championships deliver PC points somehow, that would be good (and a solid answer to the problem of PCQ scheduling and location that's been so prevalent since the start of the game) but I think they would have mentioned that if that were in the works...

Someone needs a huggle!

* HUGGLE *

Everyone who posts should start off by giving him a huggle.

Oh man, you don't know how juiced I am - which is extremely. I feel so juiced about VS man. It was looking bad for a minute there, but UDE pulled a Jean Grey and came back from the dead!

I want to live where you live!

I'm not a hundred percent, but I'm pretty sure they were originally announced as Silver Age events.

Also, depending on what the UDE points can be spent on, giving them out for casual events could be a draw as well.

if there is one positive thing i can say about you, it's that you are consistent at what you do in these forums.

on topic, i hope these good VS tidings will reach our shores here in Southeast Asia :).

Wanna bet there will be no CC in Europe? :laugh:

I'm now actively rooting for there to be no City Championships in Europe.











On the other hand, bring on the Village Championships!

I hate to agree with cdhb, but this info, while encouraging, doesnt address the real problem IMO. How are they going to get stores to actually order the kits? All the stores in my area stopped supporting HL ages ago. Is there some sort of incentive to get them back in the fold? Otherwise, this just means that stores that already have HL are getting a little more.

Man....I wish I had known that before I gave away all of my points cards that I got from WoW packs.

I hope its better than Thor playmats and the giant VS banners they've been giving away at our "unofficial" city championships

Well sucks to be you then.

We had them last year :p

IMO, the best part of all this is the weekly column providing a consistent voice of the company. A strong company liaison will be the best thing in bringing stability to casual in-store play.

Sometimes you've got to start at the start. This is one of those cases. Build the game in locations that already are supporting and show the advantages to those locations that may not be supporting. That may not bring stores back but it provides a foundation to build on.

I wish I lived where you were I (my wife would kill me but man it would be fun to be able to play in that many pcqs a month)

I'm in the Philadelphia area. There are often PCQs here, and just over the state lines of both New Jersey and Delaware. If I wanted to travel just a bit more, New York City isn't far, and there are often PCQs both in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

I have a very understanding and supporting wife. I really should buy her some flowers.

DONT SAY THAT! That imples that VS will die again and come back again, at least 20 times, before finally trying to infect another game (Emma Frost = wow?) and coming back to vs then dying for good.
.....
Okay no more comic referencing for me.


Anyways I hope PC points are involved in some way shape or form, it'll really draw in those 'I'll never make it to a PC anyway' casual players as well as people who just plain don't play VS.
