Hello my fellow Brits and Europeans (and any others who woud like to join)
I want to get some idea of the support for the event, and when everyone would be able to do it. If Manchester works for everyone then lets keep it there, otherwise we can discuss alternatives.
-
I'm obviously very keen for this to happen but the next couple of weeks are too busy for me to think about when a good time would be. November perhaps.

November 10-17th would be excellent for me as I'm off work and Uni.
-
Okay, November 16th looks great for me. I could also do the 9th or 23rd of November.
No that I'm succesfully married, I think it's time to start planning this properly.
TheJord, you seem to be keen on this. What do you think our next steps should be? Do you want to contact the usual suspects (assuming they don't read this thread)?
Anvar

Going on holiday tomorrow so havent got time to sort this out. I have to juggle this around my Stoke City season ticket, if theres a match i cant come but i wont be able to sort it out til the week after next.
-
Yeah lets contact those who would be interested. Lets see if we can get some of the players from mainland Europe to come along.
EDIT: Congrats on getting married!
-
We also need to decide what formats we want to play. Another draft would be cool, and I can get some sealed boxes, including T&D, Reflections and Hunters.
-
I think Standard constructed plus a draft would be great. How exactly we get a draft to work is another matter, unless we all start with Ages End again...
Anvar
-
I don't really want more Age's End cards - I hate the set enough as it is! ;)
I am also free on the 16th and 23rd, by the way.

We could get a range of starters and do a draft with Shadows block boosters. I could... at a stretch... pull out some EDD boxes, but I would need help paying for them all.
-
Perhaps I should have a word with Fanboy3 and see what they can get us. Perhaps they can get hold of some starter decks as well as booster boxes.
Anvar

The 16th I cannot do, I am in Cardiff, so is the 23rd good for everyone?
-
23rd is fine by me.
-
And for me.
-
We should just rename these TheJord, Anvar and Thranduil game nights. I dont mind doing once every month or two though...
-
I'm going to bring some sealed products for us to use. I need some Black Rider starters, and its cheaper for me to buy a box wholesale than to buy 2 or 3 starters.
-
So are we going ahead for the 23rd? I know that Thranduil, TheJord and I have all said we can do it. I'm pretty sure that my friend who lives in Manchester will come along for the ride as well. Do we have any other takers? Lemon? Turin? Shieldmaiden? Anyone else?
TheJord, do you want to chase up some of the stragglers or should I?
Anvar
-
I'm working on a trade with lem0n so I will force... I mean encourage... him to come.
-
I'm pretty sure that my friend who lives in Manchester will come along for the ride as well.
Can I just specify this a bit more: this friend had never played LotR until a few days before the tournament but he came because otherwise we couldn't make up the numbers! :o He also went on to win! :P
This is an embarrassing show from us Brits. There must be others who can come? [-o<
Thranduil

I will see what i can do though im sure i have something on that weekend. Ill let you guys know.
-
I just don't have the money right now. Costs a #$&*@! of a lot to get to Manchester from the south coast.

Aren't there cheap advance train tickets? Or a megabus to get you here? I understand that it might cost a lot but it's a shame you can't come.

Sorry but I'm a student and am livivng on my parents money. I'd feel extremely guilty sing that money for this.
-
Possiblye some bad news... I may be unable to make it this time. My wife broke her foot on Thursday and I dont really want to leave her at home alone all day
Sorry!
-
Well that's annoying. >:( Obviously worse for your wife, but still! ;)
Thranduil
-
I cant make it im afraid i promised my brother id help him with some new wardrobes he is having!
Sorry!
-
Okay then, I pronounce this tournie cancelled.
Another time perhaps.
Anvar
-
So, January?
I could do the 4th, 11th or 25th.
Anvar
-
If the 4th is the Sunday after Limmud, I'll be in London. Others are getting close to exams, but I'll survive! ;)
Thranduil
-
sur e wish I lived in the UK. I would love to be part of these tournaments. Hats off to you all for keeping the game going :up:.
-
I'll check my exam timetable... I would prefer it to be after
-
I have no idea what ill be upto in the new year guys, so i cant say yet.
