Scape-A-Palooza II-NHSD 2009 Wrap Up Thread

[theGuru]

Great turnout and excellent system! I hope we play like that again soon!

A Army:
Crixus, Spartacus, Gladiators X2 and Isamu

B Army:
Hive, Dividers X2 and stingers x3.

Played 10 games, went 5/5 and only swapped armies once (and got decimated by my own steamroller!

Was great to see everyone and to play with some new players! Great games all around!

The gameshow was hilarious as well! Grats Arp on your rain-man-like bout of scape knowledge!

That was a great day!
It's not a failure if you had fun and I certainly did. I lost nearly every game I played that day.

I want to thank all the cool people who set up maps, supported the prize table, arranged for the room, enjoyed scaperdy, and helped clean up at the end of the night.

As far as scaperdy goes heres what I learned.
- There are alot of words in the heroscape universe that are hard to spell
- If you don't know the answer don't guess and test (it's not like math)
- Grungebob is a hairstylist, and someone else here had a very boring blog for several months.
-Nobody knows storyline any better than they know that Steve Baker was one of the makers, poor Steve.

Aftermath
- Swiss cake rolls make the pain go away. lol (thanks Mombo101)


Oh yeah, If anyone plaed some games on Cross trails I'd like to hear about it. Just post in my map thread. Thanks

It looks like this

I'm just glad I wasn't set on fire like TomCollins2000 threatened to do if you lost Scaperdy.

Alishia (sp) 6-0

It's Alysha, but that's not the worst misspelling I've ever seen.

I had a great time playing and meeting some new scapers. I also enjoyed beating my friends, of course.

These were my armies:

A Army
Zelrig
3x 10th Regiment
Guilty McCreech

B Army
Atlaga
3x Minions of Utgar
Marcu Esenwein

I played 6 games, using my A Army three times, my B Army twice, and one switch. I really liked that format and thought it kept things interesting all day. It was nice to have an opponent almost instantly after finishing one game. And being able to take a break to go get food. The laid back approach was good while still maintaining an atmosphere of friendly competition.

nyys- I played a game against your son and I just wanted to say that he was a great player! That was the game we ended up switching armies and he did very well, despite not having used the units in my army much before.

Thanks guys, that's great to hear. My biggest fear going into the whole thing was how he would handle victory and defeat. Sounds like he was gracious with everyone, I guess I'm doing something right.

My battle reports are coming at some point.

Well didn't have the best record, but it was a blast. Great to see some familar faces and meeting a few new people also. There were some great close games during the day. I really have to get out to more tournies this year.

From games of epicly failed dice rolls(Onacara you know what I am talking about) to watching Nyys in deep thought over how to use my elven wizards it was a great day.

I would absolutely agree that little nyys was a good sport about losing.

Actually, this time around I only got to game with kids: ona, nyys, lobo.

All played well and were gracious both when doing well and poorly.

(I wasn't trying to pick on little kids. They just happened to be the only people free when I was free. And remember, I used Dund twice so I'd suggest that little ona and little nyys had the advantage. I switched armies, though, with little lobo. Felt a little bad about that, but he didn't seem to mind.)

[ugly1hornedmule]

Nyphot it was great seeing you and Tina again this year. Your wife actually took to the elven wizards well, either way it was a good game.

I had a great time. Thanks Onacara, Aeston, prize-donaters etc. for putting it all together. Good to see everyone as always.

I went 6-2 over the day (eight games of 'scape ): 5-0 with my A army (Knights x3, Denrick, Finn, Marro Warriors); 1-1 with my B army (Dividers x4, Ninjas, Deathwalker 8000); 0-1 on a switch with Onacara Jr (Su-Bak-Na, Dividers x2, Stingers x3). [Hmm, I had thought I was 7-2, but I'm also fairly sure of the scores for each army. ]

I might write up some proper battle reports or, more likely, just note a couple of cool incidents as I have time.

Ollie, I heard you're close to 100 tournament games played, that true?

Not only close---I've played exactly 100! (Or 101 if my original hunch that I was 7-2 is right and I've miscounted the results for one of the armies.)

Random story from the start of the day. Your gang was talking while we were outside at the start of the day and I was on the periphery of the conversation and someone (you?) said that someone had shot two ducks this week. I only just managed to stop myself saying "That's nothing, I killed three with garden shears a couple of days ago". I figured, given that I didn't know about half of them, that it would have been heard as "Hello, I'm a bobble-hatted psycho". Yay for thinking before speaking.
