Of course! it's a virus!

Good luck with the event! As that's roughly 750 miles from me and I'd likely have to think hard about it were it only 75, I can't see it happening. Tell you what, though, if I suddenly become independently wealthy I'll give it a second consideration!

robedestroyer: Yeah, you were definitely taken. I can understand a possible reason behind the judge's call, as he was looking at how this might impact the regulars -- regardless of how pleasantly you play, to the others at the venue you could easily be perceived as a prize shark. Still, if he was going to mix up the winner's criteria he should have said something about it before the match. You handled it with class, though.

The only other thing I can say on the issue is my well-worn observation that so many problems would vanish from venue play if there were no LE prizes. If that meant that the players vanish, too, then the game must truly suck and deserves to die.

I should also add they don't give Fellowship an LE. Instead the winner gets an LE figure and fellowship gets an object. This is what they do every week.

When and where is said Ogre the Gathering 2011?

I've been there about 5 times now in the last 2 months and I'll buy boosters if they are doing a sealed event. It's a half hour away so I don't go there to buy Heroclix or comics, for that I just go to the venue where I judge normally.

I plan on going back again. I bring a couple people with me to go there and play and we seem to be the only ones at the tournament that know the rules of the game. Most of their players seem to be fairly new (only been playing for a year or less).


Coincidentally, one of the nights I was there to play, the VP and Secretary of the Iowa Comic Book Club (apparently they do a convention in Iowa) was there. The VP partnered up with me for the tournament so I could teach him the game. The format was a 2 player team-up. At the time I didn't know who he was, but afterwards he told me and asked if I would be interesting in being the judge for the Iowa Comic Book Convention (or whatever they call it down here). It would be cool if some Ogres came to this convention.

If any Ogres wanted to break the uncomfortable silence in a thread I just posted HERE, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Sup Ogres.

Long time reader, first time Ogre poster.

I may be able to make the Ogre gathering. It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive up there and if I can get a buddy or two to go with me, I'll probably make it up there.

Rob, you definately got screwed over. I'd say to talk to the owner/judge and see if you can work things out with him. As someone else said he could be protecting his own so to speak and that could be where he's coming from.

JD has landed. Welcome.

Welcome to the Ogre Thread JD. We are a welcoming group, but watch out, you may get SLAPped.

Would anyone be willing to play in a format similar to this?

Does anyone know a good random number generator using google docs?

Found out how to generate random numbers, and I see a few people have popped their heads in. Any comments?

Really trying to figure out how you roll the dice. I know it says change the cell, but I untechie as it gets.

just type anything into any cell.

If the Lotto gods would smile on me a bit stronger, I would be there...

Ah, I see.

Thor Movie...and spooning? I'm there....

I just googled "Cheese it, it's the feds!" to try to figure out where that line came from and found a quote from myself on the first page.
