Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Virginia's 2010-2011 City Championships!

Are you serious if he is may i use some force if necessary to try to talk him back into playing? I think i guilt him into coming back if aaron is there we just need the Sanyer's and ithink i could get him back.
 
Sorry, he just backed out.....

and now, he's back again.... but definitely NOT playing!

I heard there were at least 5 states playing at this CC: Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. Also, all of those were represented in top cut! An amazingly diverse group.

Hey Tim. I heard you lost to the dumbest deck in the format. :p
After flipping double tails, I understand why you thought I'd appreciate the deck. However, I actually appreciate the deck because I used to play Dark Machamp + Erika's Dragonair at league 5 years ago.
 
NOOOOOOOOOO Tell him to please come Ha well oh well if he cant id rather him be at home than stuck down here. if Patrick needs starbucks in the morning to get him here i will pay for his drink Mr. Tuskey haha
 
It was SO GOOD to see all our North Carolina fam coming to VA Beach to fill up the venue.

The NC crew was a class act and really made the event more enjoyable. BIG UPS for the 3 hour drive fellas.

Props to PATRICK "Just loan me a deck and I'll play" Tuskey who ends up getting 2nd in Masters with a BORROWED DECK without practice :eek:
(when I grow up, I wanna be Patrick)

Big Ups to Johnny R. for allowing Patrick to take back a move in Game 3 of top cut that allowed Patrick to completely wreck him. (pretty good spirit of the game to allow that to say the least)

Slops to Starbucks (it's not their fault that I missed my coffee run ... but still... they're supposed to be like EVERYWHERE accessible :mad: )

More Props:
VA Beach showed up today man. Good crowd and, suprisingly, very META deck choices?? (at the beach??)

Gas Face goes to Zed for playing an "idea" that was not at all tested :nonono:
Props for laughing all the way through the painful loses though :thumb:
That's, also, great SOTG to play for fun w/o being concerned about win/loss. :smile:

Thanks for having me. Big Fun!
 
Wow, 130 player weekend!! It's been an incredible two days, but I really *yawn* am ... tired......

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


(see you on Jan 9th in Midlo)

yeah, thank you Zed and Johnny! He PLAYED!
 
Always good to have you R_A and Mr. T

I've been able to get a few people at the beach to consider not being complete "unique snowflakes." I know a few things of note from me for my people at the league:

Congratulations:

-Brandon for making his first Top Cut ever. He kept his new deck fairly secret from me outside of needing a Machamp Prime for like ever. For those of you not local he catches a lot of flack after performing horribly with the LuxChomp World's deck after talking how much his wins would go up.
-Sebastian for going 4-1 with whatever that deck he runs is called. It was a Gator/Kyogre (LA) deck. It surprised a lot of people. Not to discredit, but I know one or two people got caught up trying to figure out what a lot of his cards did. To his credit he tested a lot against my LuxChomp and trying to figure out what his outs were to different things.
-Olivia for Top Cutting Seniors. Shes an excellent player and personality at our league. Its nice to see her grow into a player.
-This is a combo one but to R_A for Chris M. He struggles with a lot of basics and you hyping him up that his one win got him in 4/5 for a prize was a big boost for him. He is incredibly proud of the Magnezone Prime he got from his pack.
-Our apprentice Judge Kim B (who is not the old LL for people who are like "is she back?") she was very eager to learn how to judge and wants to help her daughter by being more knowledgeable to the game. Will be nice to have another VA Beach judge on hand :D
-Zed provided me much needed laughs last night trying to piece together whatever it was he played. He called me and asked me for stuff during a FFXI raid and I was like "Gotta take it to texts." So he keeps asking if I have random stuff on hand he can use and I'm just like "Where in the world is this going..."

Non League People Props:
-Mr. T- Thanks for putting on a great event as usual.
-The Carolina group. You guys are a ton of fun to be around. At some point hopefully I'll be playing rather then judging for you guys.
-The variety of meta deck players that came. Gave me some insight into a couple of decks I'm working on and gave me new things to ponder.

Slops:
-No snow I was really holding out for a snow day tomorrow, but le sigh.
-Picking the wrong Triumphant boosters got some more Celebi and Electrode Prime for the binder xD
-Having just gotten over a stomach bug and being pretty groggy the whole time.

I'm planning on hitting up Midlo since its the day after my b-day so make sure there is some cake and punch for me :D Be the first event I've played in this season hopefully I'm not terribly rusty.

Hey R_A would you mind providing some feedback on this rogueish thing I'm working on. I'm somewhat unfamiliar so advice would be welcome xD

Uh. I'd LOVE Electrode Primes and Celebi Primes! I have no playable copies (only the ones I put into collection)

and...

Sure. PM it. Load up Hamachi/RedShark: http://pokegym.net/forums/view.php?pg=redshark_faq
We'll get to work on it.
 
Wow, I'm out of the game for a while and Patrick moves up to Masters? Nice job.

I'll make every attempt to be there on the 9th.
 
Mmm you'll see my most creative idea for pokemon since coming back. I've tended to tweak archtypes for my preference and go from there :D

I'll be in a lovely holiday pageant in the next few hrs as teacher #5 so likely see draft 1 on Wednesday xD
 
Mr. Tuskey, didn't you announce when states was going to be held during Cities? If so, could you remind me when it was planned to take place, I forgot the date. (Either that or I am hearing things that were never said, again)
 
Final VA CC coming up this Sunday!! Hope to see a BIG turnout at your last ratings shot before States!! It is looking like there will be an afterdraft, too, in case you still need a certain purple beastie who loves to pluck those Sableye-collector'd Magikarps in your opponent's hand and send them to the Lost Zone. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Cary! :biggrin:
