Every week on Thursday at TeenWorks (www.teenworks.net) in Grand Rapids, Michigan, my brother "Luke Skywalker" and I host an unofficial Attacktix tournament with the other TeenWorks (and MidWorks and KidWorks) students during lunch and study hall. Anyone who has them brings their figures and those who have them share with those who do not. We typically start playing at 12:00 AM or later, and end when everyone's gone. We leave around 1:30 PM, but others stay. If you attend be sure your name is written on your figures, because otherwise you may not bring home the right ones!
We just play for fun and usually don't have prizes or pair up two 100-point teams. Often we do odd stuff like have seven eighty-point teams in play. But it's fun!

We had a tournament today, and it was fun! We had seven players: Frank, Proffessor Plankton (don't ask!), me, my brother Chandler ("Luke Skywalker"), Korey, Ethan, and Jeremy. One exciting feature was that a young boy named Colin had brought in a Republic Gunship mega (we allow megas in our tournaments). Proffessor Plankton took the Gunship. At the end of the game, my brother Chandler came in first, Plankton came second, and Frank came third. I came sixth or so... not too great, but I did get second last dibs on the figures, last turn out of all of us, and everybody but me formed "temporary alliances" and killed me... so you've got to be a little bit understanding...  |

We share our figures during the game but we give them back when were done. I'm the winner of the last game! I took on the republic gunship in the end of the game with Chief Chirpa, Greedo, Rodimus, and Boba. I had one of the panel in the front that yopu have to hit activated. My opponent always turned the republic gunship around backwards on his turn. THAT DROVE ME CRAZY! Then my opponent took out Chirpa, and Greedo. He just kept moving away from my figures. But then I got Rodimus on the bottom left corner of the gunship, and Boba on the front right corner, then my opponent moved past right next to Rodimus, shot, and missed my figures. Then I moved my Rodimus around the gunship, then I had a crooked angled shot at the gunship. Then I took the shot and the republic gunship flipped over, and I won! That was awsome!

It is. Unfortunatly we haven't gone there in a while, since our mom just had her sixth baby. And when we're not there, there aren't any figures to play with, either... we will probably be there next week or the week after, though.

Sadly, TeenWorks is closing down their GR location, and thus, our TeenWorks GR unofficial tournament is going to as well. We may run up until summer break, and maybe not. We'll have to see how things go.

Well, Grand Rapids is only about 3 hours away from Toledo - maybe your next gathering should be at TixCon?  |

D'oh! Forgot about that, sorry. That'd be a heckuva fam to pack up, and I imagine that she'd not appreciate being left home with baby and non-Tixing kids.

But sports and games (like Attacktix) are very fun, with all the participants being permanent residents... ;D As for the TeenWorks Unnofficial Tournament... well, our last meeting was last week Thursday, and sadly, we were not able to play due to some announcements we had to listen to. However, perhaps next year we can continue at the Lansing branch. Otherwise, maybe Koinonia (koinoniagroup.org) will allow us a weekly tournament... ;D |
