Who is in Lexington for Botcon right now? We should get together! I signed up for the tournament tomorrow, but I don't think I can attend game night tonight because I didn't buy a Botcon package... My name is Valerie, and I look like this:  If you see me, come and talk to me! |

Oh, crap - I didn't realize they'd be signing people up all this time! How full was the list when you went?
I'll be getting there as early as possible tomorrow (leaving at 5:00a - to play with toys, no less!), and I'll be making a beeline to the signups as soon as I get my press pass. I'll do my best to sign up superflytnt and malform, too, at that time. I'll still be bringing some of my favorite figures (probably about 3 bags worth) to play around with, along with a few for trading purposes.
Here's hoping all of us from the boards can meet up at the tourney and play! Maybe we could all even meet up afterward for some more gaming and chatting fun.

I'm local, so I'll be there about 10. I'll be the guy that blinds you with the shine from my dome.

The tournament was pretty fun... I made it to finals!
We had to play on tablecloths sectioned off into rectangles with tape, which was kinda crappy. Also, Hasbro sent a bunch of boosters, which were opened and disributed into shoe box sized totes by people who didn't know anything about Attacktix. For some reason, each tote included an Omega Supreme and a Clone Gunship, which was pretty stupid since we weren't even supposed to be using them. Since they took up quite a bit of space, that left very few good figures to choose from.
YodaBreaker actually beat the Hasbro guy by using a team of 9 Wickets (their special power doesn't allow your opponent to attack an ewok on their next turn, so...) and a 10 point shooter of some sort. Awesome.

Well, I was in Lexington. I didn't realize that you were from the board.  I got taken out of the tournament in the first round by thecasualoblivion. I was okay with that though because he's a cool guy. (I was just lucky he didn't have a Battle Ravage available in the provided set. I need to go back to practicing with his striker.) I ended up leaving the tournament after that to hit the Hasbro panel. There just wasn't enough time there to do everything I wanted to (eat and sleep included). |

I thought I had the tournament in the bag until Yodabreaker snuck in. I had only lost two figures in three rounds before Yodabreaker beat the everloving crap out of me. It was still somewhat interesting to see what a master can do with these, even if I was looking forward to having a chance to win.

Does anyone who was there know who the guy I played in round 2 was? He ran away pretty quickly afterward, so I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I guess I would have done the same had I won the coin toss for Darth Vader only to lose him to an Omnicon... =)

It wasn't me since I'm pretty sure I played you in round 3 |
