Oakland TOURNEY 10/21 - Dnutt99/Sexymama (pics pg. 6)

[dnutt99]

:D :D So it has been brought to my attention that there is actually a day of the year dedicated specifcally to HS FINATICS, :twisted: LET'S BATTLE! Dnutt99 & Sexymama are honoring this day by opening thier doors to 10 people interested for a GAMEDAY / MINI-TOURNEY.
:headbang: This is our 1st time hosting an event so we're trying to rally up some excitement from the locals. We will have a mini 10-12 player tournament PROVIDING THERE ARE AT LEAST 8 "DEFINITE" REGISTERED PLAYERS THAT ARRIVE ON GAME DAY!
PLAY TO WIN THE GRAND PRIZE CASTLE SET!
:arrow: For those interested, we live in Oakland, CA., and are gaming on Saturday, October 21st, from 12 noon and running until your're arms get numb from rolling:!:

:arrow: Players will randomly draw the name of an opponent. The chosen opponent will randomly draw a board to play on. (ALL BOARDS CAN BE VIEWED IN THE "Check the Boardz" LINK IN MY SIGNATURE SECTION.)Feel free to ask questions, and offer suggestions. Changes will only be made to boards if there seems to be a problematic theme from multiple viewers! There will be at least 2 other boards available for free play for 2+ player mayhem.
:arrow: Players are encouraged to bring dice, markers, and pre-made armies for EACH board, and any units you may want to free play with on other boards. Our units will be available for drafting BUT dnutt99/sexymama have the priveldge of drafting from this pool first! Before the game begins, players will be given 10-15 min. to select and finalize their armies.
:arrow: DICE TOWERS are highly recommended due to limited table space. Accomodations for rolling will be made on gameday if needed.

:arrow: :arrow: GAMEDAY BEGINS @ 12noon to mingle. GAME PLAY BEGINS @ 12:45 - 1 pm.

:arrow: It is only 1 DAY AWAY!,..so REGISTER YES or mark pending to reserve your spot. Spots will be given to FIRST 10 DEFINITE REGISTREES.

:arrow: Any 'Scaper under the age of 18, must be brought and accompanied by an adult while attending the gameday.

REGISTER AND CHECK BACK REAL SOON! :D :D (UPDATED: 10/18/06 - 10:31pm)

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I'm in! I may have to show a little bit later, but we'll see. Thanks for hosting this, Dnutt!

[Malechi]

Cool, I can leave at 10 be there by noon. What do we need to bring? Beer? Chips? Beer?

:wink:

[Satyr]

Dnutty, Sexymama ... thanks for having me over today ... I had a blast. HS in Oaktown and a picnic in SF.

Bummed I won't be able to help Oaktown represent during the national gameday. Who picked the weekend before Halloween? Non Believers I tell you!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

:wink:
'brownies'?

[Malechi]

... national gameday. Who picked the weekend before Halloween? Non Believers I tell you!Yes, it is a grand and sweeping conspiracy to do away with Halloween by scheduling a National Game Day a full 10 days away from Halloween ...

:roll:


... What do we need to bring? Beer? Chips? Beer? 'brownies'?He, he, he! People are gonna start to wonder "What exactly is in Mrs. HeH's brownies anyway?" - Just remember that it was Jim that started this, not me!

You obviously don't know what it takes to work and ready the house for mayhem :)

[Aldin]

Sorry folks,

Other commitments.

~Aldin

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I'm totall down for playing. I may be late as my son has soccer games on Saturdays. I'll try and bring Silverstoner and Guerillanator too.

[Malechi]

You obviously don't know what it takes to work and ready the house for mayhem :)

There my friend, you are soooo wrong! But, I do it correctly.

At dusk on Halloween I completely decorate the house ... well, I did when I lived in SoCal. The decorations included a fog machine, a multitude of gravestones, half buried zombies digging their way out of the ground, a casket also half buried with a zombie shaking the lid attempting to free himself, a plethora of spiderwebs, rotted cloths, flying bats and spider. To top it off there was a ghost in the front window whose eyes would follow you no matter where you were on the street (think Haunted Mansion statues from Disneyland)! All of this would come down around midnight. None of the decorations were ever seen in daylight so as to keep the scariness factor entombed in the minds of children!

Some images from All Hallows Eve past:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/Malechi_HeroScape/Halloween/coffinzombie.jpg http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/Malechi_HeroScape/Halloween/coffintombstone.jpg

Everything you see I created, no store bought items here!

Some things that need description: The ghost in the window can be seen (Top Photo), however due to the flash the eyes cannot be seen that follow you wherever you go. The coffin faces the wrong way (it faces the door for full view when Trick-or-Treaters come to the door) so you don't see the skeletal hand shaking the lid. The Zombie's shoulders (Bottom Left Photo) roll giving the effect of it trying to free itself from the ground. The "fog" can be seen slightly (Bottom Left Photo), that's not a blur, it was turned off for most of the photography. Note that the "spiderwebs" are a little roughed up due to children freaking out and running through them by the time of the photography ...

:excited:

Now, who doesn't know Halloween and how to do it?

[Satyr]

Nice !!! :up:
You are a ghoul after my own cold heart. I was actually jabbing at your retired status more than anything mal :) Figured you'd hook up Halloween.

Last year I wired up a bunch of motion activated effects ... the theme was super villains. A motion sensor in the entry tripped off the black light and turn on a strobe that hit people dead in face, I added in a nice annoying buzzer for the jump. We also had the decontamination chamber ... utility room between the kitchen and the beer on the back deck ... motion triggered fog machine.

Talk about an electrocution hazard I had exposed 110V wiring everywhere .... it was fitting since I named myself Static ... I built a hand shocker into my costume :twisted:

[Malechi]

I always hated the "nice annoying buzzer for the jump". When I was a kid the neighbors had metal plates under the astroturf walkway, you step on it and connect the circuit which sets off a klaxon horn 3 feet away ... most who grew up there still have a mild twitch ...

[sexymama]

Everything you see I created, no store bought items here!


So did you go and steal those tombstones off of peoples graves? :poke:

Well I love it! So, do you not decorate you house anymore?

You and Satyr are going to be my new halloween buddies :toast:
If not, you can donate what ever you like to my halloween collection. :D

Okay, Okay, back to HS. In the last tourney I saw a HS trophy, how did you get that made (if you did). I was debating about having one for our gameday.....

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Man. That's real sweet creeps you got there, Mal. I always thought house decorating was too much work for one night's worth of scaring. Though I always enjoyed the freakiest house we could find as kids.


No wonder you didn't jump and scream when I pulled out the dismembered hand I had in my backyard. :?

[reapersaurus]

dude - that dismembered hand was child's play stuff. :D

Seriously - I think our sons took right to using it - too bad there weren;t any uptight women or girls around where they could creep them out by using it.

Well, actually, it's great that there weren't any uptight girls around to harsh the gig, but you know what i'm sayin' :D

This is great, that you'll entertain HSers at your place, dnutt and sexymama!
We'll see what works out - 1moreheroscaper's gamestore in Tracy is a bit closer and easier for us, so we'll see.

[Satyr]

... I saw a HS trophy, how did you get that made (if you did). I was debating about having one for our gameday

I stumbled across this today while looking for HS gear rules:
http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=2340
FYI: there is a trophy shop on Piedmont blvd.

[Malechi]

Sexymama,

The trophy seen in the GameDay II @ HeH's House Thread was not a NorCal trophy. It is actually the SoCal Tournament Trophy. A few of the CCC snuck down to SoCal, infiltrated their tourney and WON! Thy then kidnapped said trophy to the wilds of NorCal and proceeded to tsake it out on the town to p-a-r-t-y!. It has since been returned ...

I don't remember who "made" it offhand. But, basically, it is a generic trophy base with gold sprayed Mimring attached to the top.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Guerillanator's out. Dnutt and Mama, will you still have an event if it's just the four of us?

[dnutt99]

Guerillanator's out. Dnutt and Mama, will you still have an event if it's just the four of us?

:wink: We'll still host a gameday for sure,... but we're really hoping for a bigger crowd. I'm knida stumped on how to rally up some more players.
I must admit, I've gotten farther behind schedule for advertising, posting, and building than I ever anticipated, but if you can think of anything that may generate more interest we would greatly appreciate it! :)

:arrow: -P.S. Sorry for the board post delays! They will be up by Fri. Evening GUARANTEED

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

If it's just us four, that would be fine by me. More playing time and plenty of games in.

[pitboss]

it's been a while, but I'll muster up some troops and head up to oaktown w/ a small contingent of CCC members. preacher is on vacation (what else is new) and will reply as soon as he gets back, the rest of the CCC are in cryogenic freeze waiting for the rumored castle sets to actually arrive in stores and on amazon... they might be asleep for a while.

-kakaw

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Excellent! A little bigger play group. What can I bring Dnutt/Mama?

[heretic]

Add one more addict to the list please. What should I bring?

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Excellent!

[Malechi]

Good stuff! For the CCC a small contingent is all you need (and, all we can stand :wink: ), just look at your own Operation Trojan Horse!

:twisted:


I just noticed something ... If this is going to be at DNutt and SexyMama's, this could get a mite difficult as neither is signed up to attend!!!

:roll:

[sexymama]

Hey guys,

As far as what to bring....

food wise... give me ideas of what you like.....I don't mind doing some cooking.

drink wise....it won't be a dry campus, but I will only provide non-alcoholic beverages, however I will leave space in the fridge for anything you would like to bring and chill and get happy with. :drunk:

board wise....I don't know, Dnutt99 will have to answer that one.

Oh and Malechi, we didn't sign up because we thought it was a given, but I'll beef up the numbers and sign up anyway. Who--hoo we are up to 5 baby!! See ya Soon :banana:

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Castle set as a prize? Woo-hoo! So it's tourney time. Hmmm, gotta start planning...

[Malechi]

Like you really need another castle!!! :roll:

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I do now! :)

[dnutt99]

:passout: BOARDZ ARE DONE - Check page 1 for UPDATED info. :passout:

Sorry for the wait everyone,...but I have finally done it! Boards are available to view, (check the link at the bottom).

HEH my friend thank you for your patience. Sexymama told me she's up to some minor cooking and is looking for people's consumption interests. We will have non-alcoholic beverages for refreshment but we'll be leaving room in the fridge for any items you may want to bring. Feel free to bring your favorite brewed or malted beverage, assuming you can handle yoursleves accordingly... :twisted: Chips, cookies, candy, etc. are always welcome,...or even a salad,... :)

I'm really behind on checking my threads but should be completely up to speed by tomorrow, so if I haven't answered any pertinent questions, just hang tight or repost them.

You are welcome to bring boards or terrain for other boards and we'll find room, (there should be plenty of room after players begin to drop from their pedastals at the hands of their opponents). :lol:

[Malechi]

... there should be plenty of room after players begin to drop from their pedastals at the hands of their opponents. :lol:

Good thing I can just step off my pedestal, some 'Scapers need a freakin' parachute when knocked off theirs!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Mal, I think that player would like to believe he's still on his pedestal.

[sexymama]

What happened to my food suggestion? I guess we going to be eating air :lol:

So off the top of my head..... Spaghetti and chicken??? I'm really up for ideas here, don't be modest, I know you guys will be hungry!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Dnutt whatever you guys wanna cook. Heck, I can even stop and buy myself (and anyone else for that matter) a big deli sandwich from Raley's or Safeway and grind on that when I get the hungries.

[dnutt99]

No need to purchase tender vitles! Looks like spaghetti and chicken wings or some other finger food are the munchies for the event. Don't get me wrong, feel free to bring whatever you'd like, but we'll be providing nurishment for all the soldiers in battle. :)

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Dnutt, what about some garlic bread? Should I bring some for the spaghetti?

[dnutt99]

Dnutt, what about some garlic bread? Should I bring some for the spaghetti?

OK so sexymama has just informed me of the menu. We'll actually be having burgers and sandwich fixin's! You could bring a couple bags of chips. :D

But with our confirmed +4 players coming from the CCC, I suspect that we'll be one board shy for the tourney. :? So with that said, it would be GREAT if you could supply some terrain for another board. I have a TT and another castle I haven't opened yet that would be at your disposal, or you could provide all of the terrain for the extra board. That would be great if you could accomodate, but if not no worries, I could just sit out the first round. :cry:
Let me know if that's a possibility. Other than that it looks as though we're going to have a great turnout for the event :!: Hopefully we may see a couple of extra goodies if all pans out. :D

Sounds like excellent eats, Dnutt! I think all the spaghetti sauce would've made me nervous around your HS supplies. :lol:

I can bring chips!

I'll see what I can muster up for a map. I have something already built on plywood out in the garage. It is not symmetrical. Time is a factor for me creating a new board. Here is what I have:

The Ruins of Castle Remtha:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Heroscape%20Maps/Remthacastleruins007.jpg

I'll see if there's some way to fit this in my little car. If not, I'll quick build something Friday night on a smaller piece of plywood.

[dnutt99]

HEH, looks great. :D With the current number of players, 9, I was confused as to how to set up the matches, but cinsidering both me and sexymama are hosting the event I think it best that we alternate as 1 player, (hopefully making it past round 1 to ensure we can both play in the tournament). :) But it's unfair to have 2 players from the same house take 2 spots in the tourney, and it would be bad form to tip the scales like that :!: With that said I think that we have plenty of boards, BUT I would still like it if you were to bring a board anyway just to have another free play board. The boards I've created for free play are cool, (IMHO :lol: ), but I do like the fact that the board you posted IS NOT symmetrical making for a more interesting battle. Whatever you can do will be fine with us.
Please call ahead of time for any questions or concerns you may have at this point.
:twisted: Dnutt99 :twisted:

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Dnutt, I'm on lunch break right now. I began making a symmetrical board on a smaller piece of playwood.
I'd really like to bring the above layout, but the size is the only factor. I'll most likely need a helping hand to bring it if I do manage to figure a way to fit it in the car.


But it's unfair to have 2 players from the same house take 2 spots in the tourney, and it would be bad form to tip the scales like that :!:
I see no problem with you and Mama playing as two separate contestants. You both should play! Bring it on!
:D

[dnutt99]

I'll most likely need a helping hand to bring it if I do manage to figure a way to fit it in the car.
I may be able to help with that depending on the size. I drive a Pontiac Grand Prix with a fairly roomy trunk. My only concern is the transport itself and having a massive earthquake affect in the board. We may be able to swing it though.

But it's unfair to have 2 players from the same house take 2 spots in the tourney, and it would be bad form to tip the scales like that :!:

I would LOVE to do that, buuuuuut I can't seem to maintain the 1 game elimination theme with an odd 9 players. Any helpful ideas would be tremendously appreciated :!:

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

I would LOVE to do that, buuuuuut I can't seem to maintain the 1 game elimination theme with an odd 9 players. Any helpful ideas would be tremendously appreciated :!:

I'm still trying to get a hold of Silverstoner. If I can get him to come and play, we should be good to go. Let me try him again today.

[Malechi]

D -

If it comes down to an odd number of players, I'll sit out the Tourney. As anyone familliar with Cali GameDays is aware ...
I just wanna freakin' play the game!
:wink:

(Plus, I don't need another Castle Set - I wouldn't turn it down, but I don't need it ...)

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

You're not getting out of it that easy, Malechi.
But I suppose you're right - if Sexymama and Dnutt are hosting they should be definite contestants in the game. Nice of you to step up....or step down...out?

I've called all of Stoner's numbers. Nuthin'. He kinda just fell off the earth. Weird, but I'm hoping he'll join me on Saturday and get that even number.
I just wanna play the game too!

[Malechi]

if Sexymama and Dnutt are hosting they should be definite contestants in the game...

Because, D and Sexy need to win that Castle Set ...

:roll: :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:

[sexymama]

No No No! I'am proably the least of a gamer here, so if it comes down to it I will sit out of the tourney and and just do free play. :D

but I will try to think of a solution.

[Malechi]

No No No! I'am proably the least of a gamer here ...

I don't care how short you are, you're still playin'!

:wink:

[sexymama]

Okay, I have an idea.........


we can have 4 games going. 3 will be 1 on 1 and 1 will have to be 3 players game. Those 4 winners then play 1 on 1 and so on.

or

we all play each other 1 time and who ever wins the most out of eight games wins, but that is a looong day of playing.

Just an idea for now.

[Satyr]

Don't believe her. She's just trying to get your guard down. Women are always deadly! Morning Star always pulls out some move that I wasn't expecting. They're cunning like that. ;)

Double elimination with a random bye ??? Should only add a few extra games .... till your "arms get numb"

yeah I know ... I'd make 10 and solve the problem, but the bones say otherwise.

HEH Nice map! Gotta snap off some pictures of my Ruins of Krackin Moor ... sitting on my table unplayed :(

[Malechi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So send Morning Star down to play, we don't need yer scrawny butt there ... we need the good players!

*** Za-Zing! ***

[Satyr]

Mal, all I have to say is

I'll see you in November ... (Doing my best Family Guy's Patrick Warburton as Joe Swanson) Bring it on!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

HEH Nice map! Gotta snap off some pictures of my Ruins of Krackin Moor ... sitting on my table unplayed :(

Thanks, but the Ruins of Castle Remtha will not fit in my little Tercel.

How about ths map? I'm sure I'll knock over just about all the 1-space glaciers getting to Dnutt & Mama's place, but it should be worth the hassle.
This is a FFA board for idle players. Those 4-spaced strips of road hexes are absolutely worthless. I didn't realize that mistake till just now. :lol:

Oh, Heavy Snow and Heavy Ice is preferred, but not enforced.

Working titles include:
I Only Have Ice For You
Stalking in a Winter Wonderland
Witch's Teets
Snow Board
Snowplowin' Guardrails

[Malechi]

HeH,

Here a suggested change to alleviate the "worthless" 4 Road Section. It creates a 'roadblock' in the center of the map by switching the water and ice hexes with road hexes. Then only the walls on the edge of the board are useless. :wink:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h44/Malechi_HeroScape/stuff/Valhalla_Maps/witchsteet.gif

BTW _ I really like the third image, it appears as complete glacial overload!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Love the animation! But here was my reasoning to make that circular section of road unapproachable by a continuus road from the starting zones. Those diamond-shape snow areas on the sides of the board are the highest points on the map. I wanted to make it a chore to get there.

Oh, the rails I put on to hopefully hold the map together for the trip to Dnutt's. I put them on the back end of the snow starting zone to keep some 1-space snow in place. Then I figured what the heck, put e'm wherever I can.

Thanks for the suggestion. The animation totally helps to visualize what you were recommending.

I just wanted to give a shout out and say have fun this weekend. It looks like it's going to be a blast! I wish I could be there, but baby Fury is here now :-D

Dnutt and Sexymama good luck playing against Pitboss and crew, I'm sure you'll have hella fun. I hope to meet you guys later on in the future.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

no J.F? :(

Joe's Furry congratulations on Furry Jr.! :up:

Hmmph. Another no-show. Satyr what about MacDirk. Could he round out our numbers to an even 10?

[reapersaurus]

I'm just wondering - why would you need/want 10 people?

Are you guys going more for a tournament play, or more for a free-play day? :shrug:

I was under the impression that both this get-together and the Tracy one were more free play, and the Tournament would likely be at Norcal Gameday III, on Nov 18th?

[Satyr]

I'm planning on a freeplay day on Nov 18th ... I'm planning a scenario or three. I'll revive the thread after this weekend

Dnutt99/Sexymama's house: I've emailed Alastair for y'all

Dnutt was hoping to Tourney off a castle set if the numbers were even. He's figured out another way around it, but it's always nice to have one more player there.




Dnutt99/Sexymama's house: I've emailed Alastair for y'all

Awesome. Thanks Satyr. I suppose I could've done the same thing :lol: but I thought you had some MacDirk hotline direct or something.

[pitboss]

Sorry to bring this news a day before the event but something came up for a couple of us CCC members and it looks like I will not be able to make it, nor will preacher.

Both of us got pulled in for work issues and have to slave away this weekend (think Office Space scene at the cubicle). I will try to make it up there if I get out before 2pm.

We are still trying to send Trixar and Vu up there but have not been able to get them to confirm.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Well gosh darn. Now what?!? Dnutt, should I still bring the ice board? If it's just the 5 of us, we won't need it.
I guess it depends on who will actually make it.

Shucks. Our numbers are dwindling, I'll see if I can get a Noob to play with us if you all don't mind. Perhaps my bro-in-law or brother...anybody!!!

[reapersaurus]

It seems like the Nov 18th Gameday is going to have many more people available and interested.... :shrug:

Just so you guys know - there have been HUGE prizes (over $400) offered at some of the Oct 21st tournaments.
It's too bad our area didn't work out for that date. :(

I'm wondering - how many NorCal people would show up for a tournament with prize support like that? :shrug:

I'm just becoming aware of the possibility that maybe some people only go to play in tournaments when there is loot to be had? :confused:

Anyone have any thoughts on how prize support may affect NorCal HS event participation?

[dnutt99]

Sorry to bring this news a day before the event but something came up for a couple of us CCC members and it looks like I will not be able to make it, nor will preacher.
:cry: That sucks,..hopefully we can still get a couple of CCC reps down this way :shrug: . HEH looks like we will have plenty of room for you to bring an additional player, no worries here, BRING 'EM. Unfortuantely I'm the only one I know, (besides sexymama), that plays HS or I would have rounded out the ranks.
Regardless we'll still make the best of things!
Saytr is the Tracy thing still poppin off OK? Just wondering how that was going. The thread that was started for it remained a bit stagnant, (but a lot of threads have lately).
HEH, bring the board if you'd like. If you don't feel like the hassle, no big deal. Bring ya beer n' chips everyone,...
:ponder: Maybe we can beef the tourney up to a 2 game elimination thing, or we can just knock it out fast and free-play the rest of the day.
Either way, I'm STILL :excited: about the day!

We are still trying to send Trixar and Vu up there but have not been able to get them to confirm.
:arrow: Should I PM them the location info, or has it already been passed along :?:

Just so you guys know - there have been HUGE prizes (over $400) offered at some of the Oct 21st tournaments.
It's too bad our area didn't work out for that date. :(

I'm wondering - how many NorCal people would show up for a tournament with prize support like that? :shrug:

I'm just becoming aware of the possibility that maybe some people only go to play in tournaments when there is loot to be had? :confused:

Anyone have any thoughts on how prize support may affect NorCal HS event participation?

I'm down for ANY tournament event I can get to regardless of prizes or not. Don't get me wrong, any prizes are an additional incentive, but I'm down for the playing experience. :D

CHECK YOUR BOARDZ & CHOOSE YOUR ARMIES,... THE BATTLE WILL SOON BE UPON US!

[Satyr]

To clarify ... I'm all about Oaktown! ... I've just got prior Octoberfest engagements ... no HS for me

:toast:
:excited:
:drunk:
:puke:

Game On !!!

[sexymama]

As far as the 18th I never expected prizes and that really sucks if it will affect the amount of people coming. It doesnt seem like someone is that big of a gamer if they only play games to win something (in my opinion).

HeH I think you should bring the board, it is to cool to not play on. If it is to much of a hassle we may not need it, but I would like to play on it.

Pitboss, if you can make it that would be great. If not don't worry we will have more game days.

Joe's Furry-CONGRATS on your baby!!!!

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

You want prizes. Well, I do have prizes. This is a very last minute thing (yesterday!!!) and our numbers seemed set in stone.
I have prizes to raffle off tomorrow. Three to be exact.
It was to be a surprise for all those who attended, but it appears we're losing folks fast. Can I post this just to boost attendance? Worth a try.

SHOW UP! GET A CHANCE TO WIN PRIZES AND FORTIFY YOURSELF!!!

I'm all packed up. I'm bringing the board, the prizes, my figures, the cards, all binders/manuals, Down Town Brown, Salsitas, and my wife is going to make her brownies for us!

I'm very happy to be playing with you all tomorrow. I can't wait to unleash my Reavers!!!!! :twisted: :twisted:

[wisinger]

Just wanted to wish everyone luck, and hope that y'all enjoy your tourney

[Malechi]

FYI - I am out the door, will probably get there appx. 12:30 - 1:00 depending on traffic ...

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

That was a fun time! Big thanks to Dnutt and Sexymama for hosting today's event. I had an absolute blast and met three new 'Scapers and a noob in the making (the man with the two names :lol:).

Btw, I'll post one photo tonight. This is a shot of the last turn of the second Malechi/H_E_H throwdown. Mind you, I had Brunak with 2 wounds and Malechi had N-G-S with 3 wounds. Then on Mal's next activation:

I'll get you next time, Mal! :evil:

[reapersaurus]

I don't believe it.



:D

I know how good you and Mal are collectively in photo-editing. :lol:

[Grungebob]

Glad to hear you all had a god time!!

[Malechi]

Glad to hear you all had a god time!!

Well, it was good, although not quite godly! :wink:

I had a fun drive home ... The Richmond Bridge was down to 1 lane last night due to construction, it took me two hours to cross! I got home at 3:30 this morning ... ouch.

[sexymama]

:banana: I had a wonderful time with you guys! :banana:

Lets do it again next weekend! :lol:


I'm glad everyone made it home okay :D Mal you are a real champ to drive that far, :bowdown: Congrats on your raffle win, (I still think those dice are heavier on one side)

Heretic, Congrat on your wins as well, That Triumph Tower was mine though :boxing: I really want to play that again!

Dnutt99 we still have a game to play :boxing:, I need to tie Mal and HeH in wins.

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

Hmmm. It's those free-for-alls that have me sitting next to you that I worry about, Sexymama. :wink:

Thanks again for hosting. I had an awesome time playing with you all.

Setting up for the Ultimate Tower FFA board. The person with the most figures inside the castle by the end of 5 rounds would win. This was a mad dash for the doors. I took Braxas and Nilfheim up and created headaches for all players with flying figures foolish enough to ascend the castle. I was laying waste to Minions with Acid Breath left and right. LOL.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt041.jpg

This was an excellent move by Mal. With Theracus, he flew Guilty into the narrow opening on the castle's top to activate the catle's door, swinging it shut into Sexymama's advancing Sacred Bad force. It was a like a scene out of a great fantasy action flick. Great move, but my Braxas caught wind of the deed and fired down on Guilty in an attempt to kill him - 19!!!!
Acid reflex, Guilty? LOL

Heretic pulled out the win on this board with 3 minions securing the castle by the 5 round! Nice job, Heretic!!!

Man I wish I could have been there! Reading the various recaps on this and other threads has been a ton of fun. Thanks to everyone who posted about their experiences and THREE CHEERS for Ne-Gok-Sa, ruler of California!

Oh! I want to show this image. Dnutt99 has made some wild custom figures and cards. I was really impressed by this Raelin with the armor wings and twin gatlin guns! She looks like she could be a soulborg Kyrie for Vydar!
Great stuff, Dnutt!
I hope you'll grace us with the cards sometime!

Malechi's G'nators command the highest point on the map while HEH's G'nators make their way up. At this point Raelin had been taken out by Mal's monkeys. (Even Mal's Nakitas seemed to pelt HEH's Nakitas from a nice vantage point. - Out of shot.)

It would all come down to a fighting Brunak with 2 wounds and a NGS with 3 wounds. It ends with NGS rarely accomplished mindshackle with a devastating roll of 20,........ :passout:

How did the game go? See the AE on top of that tri-pointed peak there? Nuff said.

That's right! Sorry HEH, I failed to mention their impecable vantage point over the board! :up: which apparently determed HEH's WIN over the noobie! :lol:

Heretic, next time I'm going to try my best to win the initiative and use my Ashra Warriors to annihilate your Syvarris.
Darned elf... :evil:
Glad to have another BAH! member on board! See you on the 18th or sooner.

Heretic vs. Malechi on HEH's Snow Board.
Looks like Heretic chose Minions x2, and TAELORD!
Mal looks to be playing with Omnicrons, Dzu-Teh x2, and Theracus,...(that's all I can see!)

Looks like Malechi also had Raelin and Guilty on his forces.

Heretic and Malechi,... looks like Mal is giving him the business! I don't know who won this one, but from the overall days stats, I would assume Mal!

Malechi vs. Dnutt99 on Arctic Ring.
I rolled with EOV, Dzu-Teh x2, Guilty McGreech, and the AE.
Malechi busted out with the Orc horde accompanied by 2 swog riders, Nerak, and Krug,...
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt017.jpg
Malechi taking advantage of the terrain with Nerak. The silly monkies hung out next to glaciers all game, the EOV weren't significant enough for me to remember ANYTHING that they did, Guilty did move at least once, and that last AE would probably have run out of ammo before depleting the rest of Malechi's forces.
:hungry: Ate me up,... :puke: and spit me out!

Sexymama vs. HEH on Arctic Ring.
It's hard to make out, but I know Sexymama chose some Armocs, some Dzu-Teh, and I think Johnny Shotgun,... HEH looks to have picked Nilheim, and a slew of Dzu-Teh.
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/Sexy-1.jpg
I can't comment on this game. I have NO CLUE how things panned out in the beginning, middle, or end,... I think HEH won this one,...this time.

Sexymama vs. HEH part II on Snow Board.
I think Sexymama chose Dzu-Teh x2, Nakitas, and MBS for this matchup. HEH rolled with the Marrden Hounds x2, Major Q-9, and some Vernocs.
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt016.jpg
HEH's forces look on as Sexymama deploys the Dzu-Teh. Pick a glacier,... any glacier.

Sexymama said that the Marrden Hounds proved to kill off a lot of her forces, but in the end Major Q-9 was shot down by those Nakita chicks!
The return of Sexymama,... :boxing: Take that HEH. :D

I sure wasn't rolling for Frenzy. I didn't get Frenzy once on Saturday. I played Aubriens twice and Venocs once on Saturday. Didn't help me one bit.

The Final Post : TRIUMPH TOWER.
This was the board :!: This game would finalize the entire days events and top us off at 12 complete hours of solid Scapin'. If you look at the clock you can see we got this one going at about 10:35p.m. :shock: Everyone was eager to play the last game, even Malechi who had an exhausting, almost 2 hour, drive ahead of him. You're the man Mal,... :bowdown:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/GROUP_time.jpg
The game was originally set up for 4 players. But as the day rolled into the evening, which rolled into the night, on it's way to the early morning, it was obvious that not everyone would be able to play. Heretic suggested converting the starting positions to allow an additional 2 players to join in. It was a fast configuration putting land tiles all on top of water, snow, and anything else just to make it work.
THANX HERETIC,...GREAT IDEA! :D Nice nose,... it's quite,...Jandarific! :up:

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt031.jpg
Original setup for this scenario was 4 players with 450 point armies to get as many units inside the castle, and the player with the most figs after 10 rounds would win. We quickly changed the number of rounds to 5, (which after the first round became 3 :!: ). Sexymama had some flyers and a lot of ground forces -- Heretic had a few more flyers and a few ground troops to support -- Malechi whipped out the orc horde leading with, (who else), Krug -- Dnutt99 grabbed Drones x3 and some Minions -- The Man With 2 Names pulled Gladiatrons, Blastatrons, MacDirk Warriors, and a Knight, (who we later found out was supposed to be Sir Denrick,...he's still a noobie :D ) --- HEH rolled with only BRAXAS & NILFHEIM. :shock:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/Castle_setup.jpg
I forget who went first, but I do know that HEH flew right into the castle with Nilfheim, and followed him with Braxas on the following turn. Malechi was the first to enter, (and SUCCESSFULLY), block the door with Krug.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt034.jpg
On her second turn Sexymama activated the Massive Curse, (Great suggestion HEH. :up: ) Only two figures were destroyed, but with Sexymama, Malechi, and HEH inside the walls, (and The Man With 2 Names fighting his way in), it was time for me to restrategize my move!
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt033.jpg
Braxas and Nilfheim were my biggest threat going over the top. It was apparent that I wouldn't be able to do anything at the door on my side. I think Sexymama had moved her flyers inside, and had begun to move out the ground troops.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/Castle-2.jpg
My minions were up top with the dragons and attacked hopefully destroying one,... :cry: but they didn't. Braxas spit acid all over them and left them in a big purple puddle to be mopped up later. ALL 3 WENT DOWN WITH THE ONE ATTACK! Braxas continued to pee acid rain on the troops below who were still fighting Krug for entry. Sexymama was the next to control the door on the other side with some Sacred Banders.

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/Castle-3.jpg
All in all gameplay was rushed but consistent with the current scenario,... a mad dash inside! By this point Braxas and Nilheim were still inside and commanding the upper level taking out anyone in their sight quite easily! Krug was almost dead receiving fire from TMW2N Blastatrons. Sexymama had at least 2 figs up top, and 1 on the lower level. Heretic remained pretty quiet during the whole ordeal silently plotting. :stir: But it was this MEGA move that had everyine impressed,...
Malechi flew over the top, down to the first level, carrying Guilty, He closed and locked both doors and killed the Sacred Bander who had control of Sexymama's door at the time. :up: GREAT STUFF MAL!!!
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h249/jonan_jello/Dnutt/10_22_06NatlHeroscapedayDNutt042.jpg
My son Devon snapped this one. A perfect display HS at its finest. :D
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h279/marylee81/GAMEDAY_10_21_2006/Castle-4.jpg
OK,... in the end,... (forgive me it was late and a while ago since this all happened!),... Sexymama managed to move a lot of Sacred Banders to the door which at this point she had gotten control of. TMW2N had his ENTIRE army OUTSIDE of the castle. Malechi having only 2 figs inside had automatically lost after his turn was over. HEH also having both dragons in play, but lacking the numbers needed to win pulled out. Dnutt99 made a last ditch effort to kill off some Sacred Banders at their door having nothing else to do. It would be HERETIC who would swoop in for the win having 3 figs inside at the end of the round vs. Sexymama's 2! That'll teach her to give away tactical info at the most crucial moment in the game,... :footinmouth:

It was a perfect end to a perfect day! Thanx everybody for coming out and throwing down. See you all on the 18th, (or hopefully sooner). Until then, I'll see you on the boards! :D

I wish we could've gotten this game going a little sooner if I had realized how much fun it was going to be!
I'd like to see what else I could have done with Braxas. Some of the attractiveness for me in taking the two dragons - mobility with two cards and insane power (especially Acid Breath).

Another army That would have been cool would have been Braxas and four sets of Deathreavers!!!
Send the roborodents in with disengage as quickly as possible in to the castle and let folks attack them. Keep moving 2 further, deeper, higher up into the castle.

Man, that was a fun game. Good stuff for sure.

dnutt/sexmama looks like you put on a great event! Soooo bummed I missed out on all the fun :(

No worries Satyr. We'll surely be there on the 18th, ... and maybe squeeze a few games between then and now! :D

[Hex_Enduction_Hour]

and maybe squeeze a few games between then and now! :D

If you don't mind me stepping in your conversation here. I'm totally willing to play for 4-5 hours on a weekend night if you guys are. And if my wife is okay with it. :P

Keep me in mind. I'm laying low this weekend, but Guerillanator and I will throwdown next Friday or Saturday. Give us a chance to take the flagbearers for a spin. That is, if I have flagbearers to test out.
