ok, to start:
my family and i (little bro included) left at around 6:15 in the morning, and drove to Roanoke.
we got their around 10:17 or so, and i got to borrow two jack in the boxes for the tourney from #4 in the worl (forgot his name- apparently #s 1,2, and 4 in the world showed up. my luck eh?) and (i think) 18 showed.

any way, onto...

round one:

Me vs 'Justin' (a teen)
InSaNe AgGro (me) vs ragedrake/temple net-band (justin)

got off good, but then i lost allot of init rolls, won only three rounds before the ties/loses came. if i had won init on turn 8 or so, i could have pay-backed his noble with my ego and grand board position.
i lost init, and it all went down-hill.
3-6

Round two:

Me vs. some older-guy with a 11-year old playing..
my band vs Kitsune beats

lost horribley, due to bad moves on my part.
0-6

Round three:

Me vs the dudes kid T_T
Insane vs some-crap-no-work-together-band

Killed the kid easy, but he was annoying. he kept haveing to ask what things did/if he could do this and that/didnt know how to play.
6-3 (only because of gambit)

Round four:

Me vs 18-20 year-old red-head (he was cool :) )
Insane vs budget-drake w/an arch

I won the first 4 turns after the first (since you cant win that :p), then he got a noble and axe out after placeing two HBTs.became VERY close.i played baxar, got ego back from grave to 1 cell, and moved to 3-point where my DHC was. as was his noble/axe. if i kill them, i win. i rolled about 10 die, got two blades. crit 10 useing ego's ability (man i love that thing), kill axe. i dont have enough to dis the noble, so i lose by one cp...
5-6 (great game)

Round 5:

Me vs this very helpful/nice guy
Insane vs mono-fear

ok, i had NEVER played mono fear before, and it moved WAY faster than i had expected. i made TONS of mistakes.
0-6 (guy couldnt have been nicer)

Round 6:
guy i was to play dropped, so i won.

Well, i had to wait for about an hour and a half untill i could claim my prize, got a kit and another sprite from my booster, came in 15th place with 6 points (the same as about 4/5 other people).
i bought a few more boosters and the guy i played in round 5 gave me his because he allready had every thing from it (gargoyle was rare- its replaced my baxar now), he gave it to me (i wanted to give it back, but he wanted me to have it. i hope i meet him at another tourney :-) )

well, made allot of friends, had a good time, ate some pizza, traded, and got alot more to add to my list (see trade thread). and i got to try out the jacks- i love them with my arch.it was fun, even if i didnt meet anyone who posts online (allthough one lady told me she lurks and recognized me by my band- she said she had proxided it and lost to it. i wish i had played her, lol (JK- she had a good drake band)).

welp, if you read it all- thx!

yeh the 1k i was at had 23...mainly kitsune players not knowing it too well.

I got mad lucky with parings and rolls, but I got in 2nd with a Valor/Passion focused around my Ragedrake. Thing is, so many of my teammates lost to rolls. Most of the time, that random factor makes or breaks games in crucial rolls. When I had to play my teammate Justin, he couldn't kill my Boneclan Hunter for 4 turns, even with 7 dice. Took a Lunar Handmaiden to finally do the job. Took that game because it cost him going into my territory with Kight of Strike and Joy and an incoming Noble Dragon
