I believe you are exempt from "realistic chance" shamilton.

I'm sad to hear that Leader won't be going to his Elite. I know he hates VS Constructed but I think it would be a nice show of support, especially to his other local players who can say "I played/pwned/got served by the David Leader at my Elite Series!".

I doubt many of my area money pros are going... only Patrick because he still likes to play the game and Constructed is fun for him (plus he's always making decks).

And me and stu may seem like we don't like each other but one of the things I absolutely admire about him is the fact that he plays whenever he can... win or lose... he's there for the social aspect of VS and that's an important part of the game.

It's still up in the air for me, as I may be able to get into E For All for free. You can't beat free (especially since parking costs money) entry into a convention.

I guess I'm a video gamer at heart, quelle surprise.

I don't think Quickfate is that big of a deal because you can tech against it. There's a lot you can do. If you think about, teching against Quickfate will probably help against FrankFate as well. I think it's just one of the many "negatives" that people point too and use as an excuse not to go. That's fine, but even if QuickFate was banned there would be some other dominant deck in the format for everyone to complain about. The same thing happens in fighting games- "OMGWTFBBQ1!!! Cable/Steve/Xianghua is busted good and God tier; this game SUCKS! I'm not playing this crap!" Cut to later when people figure stuff out and how to meta against those good characters...

You could actually do worse than eat at Chipotle, but yeah if you get a burrito with all the fixings it's like 1000+ calories in one sitting. I also find it hilarious that people consider this Latin food. I eat at Panda Express (or I did) but I would never consider that Chinese food. This is California, surely there should be a better place in Berekley to eat than at a chain?

Also, guacomole is cheap even at a place like Trader Joe's. Your $2 will go way further if you buy it pre-made at a supermarket...I should know because I'm lazy too. :)

The key to this is to marry a hot latina so poor she can't afford salt. That's what I did, and the food is awesome.

Dude it is my life long dream to eat three of those burritos. Like the three Chipotle burrito is my Everest. I can take two down now pretty handily right now, but three is out of my the realm of my powers, at least for now.

Man, I swear they put crack in those Burritos...

How is the food awesome if you have no salt?

No salt = no flavor

Man I hear you. That and the 300 scampi are my "twin peaks" right now.

But see, that's exactly the point I'm trying to make. WHY spend that much? If the game dies in a couple of months, I don't want to look at my Marvel Zombie cards and think "Gee, that was money well spent."

I'm also bias. I have a big move in about a week and I can't see myself spending money for a VS tournament that will get me nothing. I'm really looking at this as a poker tournament. First place gets fame, glory and a wad of cash (instead, it's a wad of cards) and everything below it will get bupkiss.

Here here. A man after my own heart.

agreed, give me a high blood pressure before i have to give up my salt.

Hobby-league (at least a weekly format as UDE knows and recognizes it) does not exist (in Canada) east of toronto. Period. Therefore, there will not be an elite series east of toronto for us unless we can get UDE's attention for some east coast love. While i have no doubts that we'll get the elites that we want eventually, things are simply progressing slower than expected. Any event within 3-4 hours and all 16-20 of us would make the trip. For now we are more than happy to have the support for the marquis events and the city championships.

Maybe it's for the best. Everyone would be in for a harsh awakening the day some of our east coast players finally butt heads with the "greats". We've got us some GAME hidden in these appalations.

Made the Elite Series not cost 20 bucks ;)

Made the prize structure not so top heavy ;)

Not make Quicksilver :laugh:

What Elite Series?..... oh thats right I would have to drive 130 miles like last time for something that isn't limited...I can't see spilling 300 hundred bucks (as before) into an ### whooping. If it were closer to me so I wouldn't need a hotel room and a rental car, maybe, but it's not.

only 130 miles? i WISH we had one that close.

You basically just called Toby Wachter an idiot along with Amir...NICE!


Coolexplosion

No, I called you lame for making a big deal out of it.

(You know you are the only one who knows the difference, right? No one else even knows what we are talking about.)

Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion of the Elite Series...

Thanx for the Shout out man. Your totaly right about YMG there caring less about the games and more about the money. I wish Harrison's could get contracted to do a tournament like the ES and stuff. Larry Harrison all ready said that he whould rent a lobby for the event. He has supported the game for me now for 3 1/2 years and Has all ways asked why he can't get the big tournaments. UDE is falling us there but at the same time so is Your Move Games.
