I wrote to everyone who hadn't yet replied, and SM replied privately to say she couldn't make it.

Balls. Four is not exactly a Uk tournament is it? It wanes my enthusiasm slightly. Are all of thes issues, location, time or money problems? Cos we can wait which would resolve the time and money thing....

The main trouble seems to be financial, so I'm not sure how much delaying the tournament would help.

Btw, who are the other people who voted on location?

So here's the deal, the guy who runs Fanboy3 just sent out an e-mail to their whole mailing list with the following excerpt:

Quote
Sunday August 17th
(noon) our first Lord of the Rings TCG tournament in over three years, with promo prizes and boosters for everyone!

I think we should press ahead with only 4 people, as long as everyone concerned is happy to come. More may randomly turn up, and we would all be getting prize support.

Let me know what you think.

I'm always willing to play. Even 4 of us will be fun; not hugely dramatic, but fun anyway!

*Sigh* FOUR? Thats really pants for a "tournament", but i too will come if only to meet the brothers grim and... who is the fourth person?

Also what format? I only have standard decks and im not making an expanded deck as i hate the brokeness potential of some of the combos from expanded and would take me too long to find a good one to make and put it together.

So i can play any sort of draft plus standard...

4th is Turin or TheJord. Hoping that at least one of them will make it. Of course, if they both become definite nos, then we may need to think again.

And I think the format would be standard, but if some randomer turns up with a towers block deck, I don't think we would send him away...

Yeah thats fair enough, standard suits me fine but we'll accomodate whatever turns up!

If its just you Thran and me, thats the same as me just coming to visit you guys in manchester which is daft!

Actually, it would be both you and Thran coming to visit me in Manchester ;-)

I understand but it is a real shame. Perhaps another time.

So it's up to TheJord now.

There is still a possibility that I will be there. My main concern is my lack of real life competitive decks... but I will still try to come.
