    Cheating or Strategic Play?

    Another thing about clocks, they'd all have to be uniform. I did a quick search on chess clocks last night and found that there's 3-4 different styles (at least when it comes to hitting the button to stop/start/pause clocks). Judges and players would have to know the nuances for each style of...

    Wow, that's 3 biggies on the same day (IN, OH, and WI). I wonder who's going where.

    Cheating or Strategic Play?

    Not mine, Margaret's. I was NEVER a PTO. Eh, it happens, not a biggie. Someone brought this up earlier, but it bears repeating. Yes, it does seem that we keep having the same discussions over and over in about 2-4 month intervals - chess clocks, when is stalling stalling, 2 point wins, time...

    Cheating or Strategic Play?

    SW, it's not that way at all. Active juding means that judges are more floor based and keeping an eye on things like play cadence and play style. We're not saying that you can't play cards and powers that aren't going to really do anything except eat the clock. We're not saying that a judge...

    Cheating or Strategic Play?

    You're adding a layer of complication that PUI will not add. You're expecitng a 10 & Under player to manage a chess clock along with the rest of the game? PUI will poo-poo that idea really quick. Actually, this is where strong judging rules. Strong judges can see this happening and can stop it...

    Lameness

    Several dozen people fought tooth and nail to make it so that if you won an event in a specific Championship Series this year, you wouldn't be able to play in another event in that series. The issues that were raised by this group have come to fruition...every single one of them. Hopefully PUI...

    Countdown to Star Wars Ep III/It's here! Reviews...

    Billy Dee Williams played Lando Calrissian. Jimmy Smitz played Bail Organa. If you've seen the WotC TCG for Revenge of the Sith (which was a production still), the makeup job that they did on Tarkin was...well...like I said before, he looked like Odo from DS9 (who was played by Rene Auberjonis...

    OK, I went and saw it again (better theater) over the long weekend and actually watched it..deeply. Grand Moff Tarkin isn't a Grand Moff just yet, he's still a Govenor. In the intial scene of the Senate's spaceport, did anyone notice our favorite Correlian frieghter coming in for a landing in...

    Lucasfilm had writers on staff at CN Studios. Everything that hit the screen during Clone Wars was deemed Cannon by Lucas himself. He had that level of control over the production of the series. Lucas admits that he's not a screenwriter. Why he didn't have the foresight to at least get...

    Origins Help Needed ASAP

    I'll guarantee you that there will be at least 2 or 3 100% badge sweeps during the Con in the TCG hall. Watched a couple of folks get bounced for no badges last year.

    Oh, he brings balance. Just not the way that everyone thought it to be. the jedi saw balance as wiping out the Dark Side. However, Light can't exist without Dark. Yoda talks about a misinterpretation in the Prophecy during the movie that hits the nail right on the head. I don't think the...

    Great Lakes Regionals, hold the mirrors

    At that point, I thought you were Admin'd out. It's a shame either one of us didn't make it. There was alot of talent that I thought should have made it, but didn't. I'm still happy with my record on the day. Either way, the game was really good and I'm looking forward to sitting across the...
