The Flaming Orange Shorts of Doom!
I think at this point I may not be a contender as I have not chosen squads, haven't played in a few months, and haven't really done much with 'tix as I've been busier that a one-legged man in an arse kicking contest.
This should be interesting. I am going to bring the Sentinel, though!

Good lord, you are not kidding! This has been one heck of a couple of months for me as well. Work has been keeping me hopping (though I'm not complaining). This should be interesting. I am going to bring the Sentinel, though! |
Excellent! C-ya in about 4 hours.

Right now the weather is a bit nippy outside with the rain... however if it warms up, I may have to dust off the infamous/holy/ridiculous orange shorts! Forget temperature , make all others cower in fear: Good luck everyone

Your Fiancee beat my butt! He won with a Skyblast robot and plane left.
Troy got his butt handed to him - the worst loss of the night.
Mike got his butt handed to him too.
I will let Chris make announcements other than that, but suffice to say that I had a GREAT time, and thanks to Chris for putting it all together. Only one thing was not 100% cool - the room we played in was HOT as HECK. Next time let's get a fan going! ;D

The weather warmed up and out came The Orange Shorts - ready to wreck havoc on the EIT contestants... however it was another color that ruled the day...
And that color was grey as Greyelephant was perfect for the day - the only thing he lost all day was a Spider-Man striker that broke on him during one of the matches. GE took 1st place in all 3 events! His 200 point team of 5 SM Spider-Man strikers, 5 Greedos, SM Venom, Gold KAM, 5 JKs, and Avenger Spider-Man was too much for the rest of us.
We had 10 people for all the events. GE's cousin Jessica came in second place in the 100-point launcher event.
Yours truly took 2nd place honors in the 200-point open, Defender took 3rd place.
Superflytnt finally got that rust shook off for the "Pick your opponent's team" tournament and placed 2nd in that one. Lots of funny teams for that one... C-3PO was the most popular figure chosen.
There were quite a few side games and everyone seemed to have a great time. My wife (who hadn't played Attacktix since 2005) took the place of my brother who had to leave early and did pretty well, much to the shagrin of many other tournament participants...
I have many pictures - please be patient and I will get them on the net somehow and give more details sometime soon....
Once again, thanks to Superfly for the trophy and Radar for the tournament figures!!!

Had a terrific time and look forward to seeing you all at Tixcon this summer.
Thanks to Chris for throwing the deal in the first place.
Thanks to Superfly for making another master piece of a trophy.
Thanks to Radar for the wonderful prizes.
This was a wonderful ordeal. Chris had 4 tables set up. Almost everyone was able to play at the same time. It made everything flow nicely and before you knew it the tourney was over.
DoNp and posse were gentlemen. Superfly was a nut as usual. Chris' wife was actually opening cans of whoop arse on people. And my gang said it was a blast and want to do it again. Anyways, can't say enough about how much fun it was and to once again thank everyone.
Until Tix Con..................

I agree guys, my posse had a blast and we can't wait to do it again! I can't believe that 200pt Autobot team actually took me to 3rd place! I felt certain that it would've gotten instantly creamed, but luck was really on my side. Many thanks to ConaChris and " Mrs. ConaChris" for the event (and for the driving directions too! ), and to Superfly and Radar for the great prizes!

I was happy to help, even if I wasn't able to make it out there. Everything sounds great, I'm excited to see the pictures and hopefully I will get to see you guys at the TixCon.

I do believe that this invitational was a success. I had a ton of fun, it was a blast. Even though I didn't make it very far ha ha, it showed me that I still have a lot of learning to do. Thanks for the great time ConaChris!

Well, I have some photos that I have uploaded onto Photobucket and I made a slideshow and put captions on the pictures, but I cannot get a link to paste here that works... anybody have any ideas?

Yes - open the link that gets the slideshow going in a new window on your browser and then cut/paste the URL. I had that problem a while back too.

I'd like to point out that Mr. Grey Elephant is standing at my 2 o'clock. Study the photo of the 'Second Place "Choose Your Opponent" ' match to determine why I ...hmm... point that out.
ROFL.
