The only foreseeable problem I have with that is if someone opens a god-pack. I think if that happens, they should be allowed to purchase an additional pack to open for the sealed. Opening one SR and passing it in order to win is the player's fault/perogative. Opening 5 SRs and having to pass four is not. I understand that these circumstances are not entirely likely, but could happen and I think having a stance on it before deciding what we're doing makes sense.

^ Agree

thats my primary concern.

I hate to say I might not be able to make the next 2 tourneys.

Don't know if I can afford another sealed (well I can charge it, but thats been getting out of hand) and i don't know if I really want anything else in the set that I can reliably get.

You then have to decide: I want this fig, but this dupe would be better for the tourney...

My vote is for sealed just for simplicity. (its also quicker since you know your figure pool right away)


I will be out of town 27th-3rd Hopefully I get an away game at the venue there.

Well I'm sure I'll be out voted, But I'd personally like to see a God-pack passed arround. I've always been one to share the wealth. I'd like to see that come back arround even once. Especially if either of the two guys who pulled a God-pack allready got one again. But like I said, I'm positive I'll be out voted. Thanks again Wizkids!

While I wouldn't mind passing the god pack around, as I would take the Chase and I've already got everything else I want in the set.... I'm going to vote 'God pack dude keeps the god pack and gets a new pack to draft with' for the sake of players who are still missing lots of SRs or need the trade/ebay fodder to bolster their recent expenditure.

Will we need to start earlier in the night to have time to draft/team build?

Agree with Draft.

Agree with not forcing god-pack to be passed, but up to the player.

The second tourney format is not my thing, but not a big deal if everyone wants it.

Not surprizing since my man loves to run figs OVER 285pts!!!

I don't know. What time did we finish Monday? 7:20PM?

I am with you my friend! How does John mistreat us? The times I've been there for a tourney, he seemed to be stand-offish, but not overly rude. Like he has trouble with people being in his store if they're not shopping. When I was buying, he was really friendly and helpful. When I was a player, he seemed to be annoyed.

Thank you Jeff for taking the time to run and organize these tournaments and deal with the venue on our behalf. I also appreciate your enthusiasm in trying to make the tournaments more exciting and interesting for the players by not just running standard constructed games.

For the Draft:
Players realize this is for the highly valued and sought after 3D Object. By making it a draft you enhance your chances of being able to field a better and more competitive team, and thus increase your chances of winning the prize.

Now everyone will have different draft stratigies going into the tourney depending on what you want to get out of it. Winning the prize, filling out your collection, obtaining trade fodder, etc. But that is your choice to make and the envoy is giving you that choice. And keep in mind the "Bonus Feature" is designed to make the games more fun to play, not dictate the outcome of the game.

And if a God Pack is pulled, then that just means the venue makes a little bit more money with the player buying another pack.

For the Constructed:
This is also for another highly sought after prize. I know most players don't like special rules or build restrictions when high end prizes are available. But keep in mind, there are 2 tournaments the ATAs are going to be distributed, and there is another venue in town also running tournaments where the ATAs will be available. There are plenty of opportunities to obtain one.

And the restriction doesn't favor one player over another and won't dictate the outcome of the game. Every player is still building from the same figure pool. Top level mechanics are still available and solid teams can still be constructed.

^^ For the constructed, it WAS a highly valued prize, but now I can just print one out. :P I kid, I kid.

D0es this mean every one who plays get a Hammer or is there a different object for the participation prize?

also I was actually looking forward to the under 50 point constructed...

The participation prize is the silver hammer which is a 3-D heavy object only.


Aren't you gonna be out of town for the second tourney anyways ?

I agree with Unsung about the passing around a God Pack. A draft is a draft. We should follow the rules. That's the point of drafting.

I am willing to go with the tribe either way though.

Bluesummer's avatar is totally tits! I'll have to add it to the official list.

Ya think!
