• 2:03
  Speaker 1: This is what we want to talk about today, the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five competitive circuit for altern World Championships. Is
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this because you and I were talking about key Fordge
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: World Championships And why am I going to Baltimore to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: go play more key Fordge when I can come to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Dallas to play with you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: There's also an event in Baltimore.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: For there is weird story. It's at the same it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: literally at the same game store that's hosting the key
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Fordge event.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's games and stuff, right, yep, yep, I don't
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think their tickets are on
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: cell yet. So what I figured would be good to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: do is look at the events you can already buy
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: tickets for. Mainly, I have a little bit I can
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: say about Dallas.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I say, we know of two places, right, yeah, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: know of games and games and stuff in Baltimore that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I believe is is that this month or is that August?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not this month because they have not put
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: up tickets yet.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It must be August. Then I know it was either
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the month before or the month after key Forge I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't remember which one. Wait, hold on, what is Dallas?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Hold on? Give us Dallas first. I'm gonna do some
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: digging here.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess we can jump right into it. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: did link the main article for the show notes.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I found it just to let everybody.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Know a refresher of all the information. We have gone
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: over it on a previous episode.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But well we didn't. I did. Y'all were busy or something. Yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean I was here, and it's it's pretty standard. Right,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have it looks like two separate events where
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you can qualify. I don't remember who's all qualifying. So
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: World Championship qualifiers. There will be one at common Grounds
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Games in Dallas August ninth and tenth. Oh, you're it's right.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That's only qualifying one player, that's rough. And then you're
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: going to have one player qualified from Baltimore Games and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: stuff September, September thirteenth and fourteenth. I forgot, that's one player.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: That's that's Binanta. Well, yes, and now I remember a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: flight to Paris, you get you get more than a flight, sir,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you get travel and accommodation.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, you get accommodations too.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So they will put you at least bare minimum, push
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you up at a hotel. I know in other games,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote accommody, accommodations, you do get like
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: food stipends.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Food stipends.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, stipends. But it's literally two people from
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the United States are going to.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Qualify outside of EGA.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Possibly but correct, well correct I r L. Is that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: fair to say I r L altered since like the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: world plays altered on BGA.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, basically. So the most information that I will
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be sharing is about Dallas because that is where I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: will be. That's the one that I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Know, because he'll be judging there. He'll be there. He's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: actually he actually weird story. He's actually the one who
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: organized the whole thing. He's been in close talks with
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: all the people at Equinox right about how it should
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be run and different things like that. No and no, no, no, no, oh,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong about all this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Huh yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But weirdly enough, only slightly.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: So the Dallas World Qualifier is going to be at
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Quake con.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: In weird place to have it too, just say it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: H Dexter has no idea what quake is. Do you
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: know what quake?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I love a quake? Which is your favorite quake?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I did not get too much into quakes specifically. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: was more of an unreal.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Was great too, It was great. Let us all know
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: if you guys played Quake, which quake was your favorite quake?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Let us know. I tried the newest Quake.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Is a Quake arena?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, something like that. It was. It was not
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: very good, but quake fun story. Quake Con used to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: be a convention mainly centered around Quake, the first person
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: shooter game. Now it's under Bethesda. I think once upon
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: a time it was just ID Software yep. But Quake
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: isn't really a thing anymore, so Quake Con has kind
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: of branched out a lot. It still has a heavy
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: focus on PC gaming, like the main dries bring your
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: own PC kind of thing, but they've been branching out
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: into more tabletop and originally Dallas was only going to
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: be one hundred and fifty players, but since it's partnered
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: with Quake Con now, the max was increased to two
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty six.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, nice. My favorite quake is Quake two, if anybody
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: if you so. Quake one was all about it was
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: very much Oh, man. I wanted to say Wolfenstein, but
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: that's not right either. Quake one favorite gun the nail
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: gun bet anybody for those of you remembering, But Quake
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: one was like you're going through the portals of Hell,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and then Quake two was like you're in an alien
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: like you've crashed on an alien planet. I guess that's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the best way to put it. And the big thing
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: about Quake two, the entire soundtrack was written by nine
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: inch Nails. I written that all the whole musical soundtrack
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for the whole thing is very nine inch nails. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: never got into Tom says Quake three. Competitive wasn't say.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I never played Quake three. By that time, I was
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: with Cole Robbie and I had moved on to Unreal, trying.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: To refresh my memory. And I really think I'm main
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: gipped over Quake for the most part.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I think Quake came out before Unreal and then Unreal
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: kind of took its place. That's kind of the way
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I feel.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think I played a little bit of Quake four,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I played a lot more Unreal than Quake.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So ye, who is your favorite Unreal character?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I'll I'm I think I'm with you and more. I
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: care about the the guns than the characters specifically, And
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I just remember the uh like I think it's a
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: yellow like the flat cannon.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, the black canon was good, Yeah black.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I I also like anything that's similar to a nail gun.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a lot of fun, especially like if you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: ever played Fear.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And I never played Fear.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: No, oh man, so good when you can nail people
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to a wall gratuitously.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Quake Quake one had the nail gun, Quake two had
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the double nail gun, so you were literally dual wielding
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: nail guns. It was pretty awesome.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think I really gravitated towards a character very
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: much in the.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Un well unreal all. I think all the characters had
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: different stats depending on like the speed they could go
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and all that jazz. I want to say that was true.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I might be completely wrong on that. I liked the play.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I don't remember if he was on rollers like anti
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: gravity boots, or if he had like a skateboard attached
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to his feet, but I always played that character. That
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was always like my character of choice. He was super fast,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: That's all I remember. And I think I think you
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: had I think you had two different like every character
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: had like their own stats. I could be wrong.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: I more often just played the multiplayer against friends or
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: when online became a thing, So I think it was
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: more even ground among all the characters when you're just
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: basically doing the multiplayer.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: It could have been. I don't remember much. But let's
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: get back to Altered.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Nothing about any of those games, that's what.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: What does your generation do?
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: H Fortnite?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I don't like games personally because I suck at all
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of them, but we do a lot of scrolling.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I have never I don't know if i've I've never
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: played Fortnite.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Actually, sorry, it's actually it's a really good game. It
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: is big for a reason. But yeah, Altered if you're
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: coming to Dallas because of the almost doubling in size,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: there's still a good amount of tickets left.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: So that does this article will reflect the double it
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: because it was one hundred and.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Fifty yeah, so the.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Is it now three hundred? Almost three hundred?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Almost? Okay, So it's going to be best of one
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Swiss rounds based one best one Yeah, that's the Altered life.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Why okay? So what why why are you so against
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: best of three? Well? Okay, so like I could understand,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: like key Forge is the best of one as well, right,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but that's a very like you're talking some games a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: key Forge go the full forty five minute timeframe. I
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: don't see altered doing that.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: You're slow, it does, but fast players, wow.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Usually if you're slow, that's key Forge as well. Right,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: if you're slow, it does.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: But I don't know as as you guys know, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: some people might know. I don't come from a TCG background.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Ah, that's right, you don't. You're a board gamer like me.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a game gamer.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I I like all this FPS talk and whatnot, like
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I've played all of them.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You're what my just video games? Yeah, okay, we're going
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go way off the beaten path on this one.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So you got like you're mainly a video gamer. Yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but somehow you got into a card game like these
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: worlds typically don't collide.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm mainly world's collecte. I'm mainly an overall just
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: nerd in general.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, but like you didn't do any board games or
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like tabletop games or.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Uh so, as quickly as I can discuss my journey,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I used to work at a video game store. I've
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: always been interested in basically any type of gaming. I
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: have played D and D and other tabletop RPG is
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: a good amount. I've been streaming for like twelve thirteen
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: years by now, and I used to run an actual
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: play channel unlike twitch and YouTube and stuff. And I
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: had kind of played Magic off and on, but never
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: really gotten deep into it. So Altered is the first
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: and only TCG that I've played any matter whatsoever.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: But how did you pain me? That's here's the question
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we're asking, and we're asking us some key fords, right,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: especially since the tc spear is so like crowded. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: guess that is the best way to put it right now,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: how did you find Altered?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: So if you if you read my article on the
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Ivory website, Okay, yeah, so I I got hired. I
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: lost my job when the tech stuff was going bananas
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: and everyone was laying off everyone. Yeah, I picked up.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I picked up some side gigs, and one of them
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: was doing road shows for TCGs. I started with Altered,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: and then I did one for Star Wars Unlimited. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: the basic long story short is Altered and Equinox. The
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: experience was way more pleasant, and they treated me a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: lot better. I've kind of stuck with Altered since then
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: and then just really gotten into the gameplay and everything.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Because that seems like the million dollar question right now,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: even an Altered, right, the game sphere is so just congested.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: How do you break how do you break through the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, now we got Magic Final Fantasy pre releases,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know, how do you break through the Magics, the Pokemons,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the yu Gi, oh, you know, all these card games.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: How does a card game like Altered breakthrough and get
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: into that mainstream? That's like the million dollar question, right Yeah.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: People just need to stop being stuck on the old
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: ways and realize that magic actually this sucks.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: But we've been saying that for thirty years, right like
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: people are going to gravitate and play what's being played.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Nobody likes to go to their local game store and
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: play a game that's you know, Oh, do you guys
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: happen to have Altered? Or do more than three people
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: show up? You know, people like what's being played. So again,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it's it's the million dollar question. You know, lots of
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: answers have come up, but nothing seems to work. Right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: We had it wasn't grand archive, But there was another
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: TCG before that that's just like we're gonna throw money
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: at it, and that money will make people want to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: come over. And I was like, yeah, that actually sounds
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: like a great idea. Well that didn't work. We've had
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: people like, well we'll get this ip. Well that didn't work.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: So it's the million dollar question. I'm curious on everybody's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: thoughts on that one. But we're not we're here to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: talk competitive. We are. This is the train of we're
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: not actually going to talk about what we put in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the show notes today. This is the train of where
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: just whatever comes to Wookie's mind and his add is
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: going to kick in and we're gonna go. That's that segue.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But back to competitive.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is okay. This is a good episode for
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that because it's it's kind of a little bit of
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: a refresher and also boosting out there. What events you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: can already get tickets for. Yeah, disclaimer to anyone that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: is looking to go to Dallas. The cost for the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: event is twenty five dollars, and then to get into
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the convention quait con if you get a fan ticket,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: it is fifteen dollars, and then you can see all
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: of the prizing and everything else in the article or
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the ticket center that Common Ground Games has on their website.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: If you cannot find it for some reason, and you're
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: not in the Altered Corner discord for some reason, you
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: can reach out to me and I'll send you the link.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: So is this this is just two days? Right? I
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: believe if I remember, I got to go back to
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the article. Uh, it's just two days, right, yeah, the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: ninth and the tenth. So a fifteen dollars ticket will
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: be more more than ample because they do it is
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a four day convention. That's just what I wanted to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: let everybody know. It is a four day convention.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So yep, And I think the altered event specifically is
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: only one day on augustner.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It says a ninth and tenth.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: You're still on the main article, right, yeah, yeah, so
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: they're going to do it all in one day. Yeah,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: the ticket page says only August ninth.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Oh it's a long day. Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: If the max player count gets hit, maybe they'll consider
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: something else. But starts at ten am.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Since you you're more in a north, talk to me
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit, like what are they going to do?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Are they going to like, we're going to play Swiss
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: rounds and then we're going to get a top eight
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: or top sixteen, top twenty four, like's what's the process?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yep? So it's just best of one Swiss rounds. How
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: many rounds of Swiss depends on numbers how many people
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: sign up. I think two fifty six is usually around
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: seven rounds of Swiss and then cut to top eight.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: So eat, the top eight will go go pretty quickly,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and if they're keeping with the normal altered time frame,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: each round of Swiss will only be thirty minutes, so
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I think in competitive they might up it to forty five,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: but I'm not.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: One thirty minute seems more than enough.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, usually we do thirty minutes.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: But man, best of one that is brutal.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: There's there's no mulligan, and there's no sideboard.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: No mulligan, no sideboard. Best of one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: So that yeah, because of those, there's really no reason
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to do a best of three.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Well, RNG, my friend, RNG, there is still something to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: be said about your deck coming out backwards.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: You know, aren't aren't you like the creator of draw better?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Well that was not a necessity, but yes, yes, our
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Cottons corner is the founder of just Draw Better and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: again with a games such as Keyfarge where one game
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to get to three keys can take almost the full
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes and a lot of the time and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: sometimes does Altered doesn't take that long. It's not like
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a long I don't feel it's a long, long game.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: It can be, I know, if you're as can get
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: really grindy. See I know the same and key Forge,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Like if you're playing with two agro decks, you're going
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: to finish in ten minutes, but if you're playing with
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: stall and grindy decks, it's going to be forty five minutes.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: But me, I just Best of One has always drubbed me.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: The wrong way.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I just hate the Best of One because like it
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: is so unforgiving, Like you make a mistake and that
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: changes the whole game, Like you don't get another game
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to like fix it.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Yep, you gotta play better.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Even if there's two hundred and fifty six, people will
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: still just be a cut to top eight and not
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: cut sixteen or something.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I cannot say for certain. They are having a meeting
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I think on Tuesday, so maybe morenation will come out
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: after that. I don't know. What they're going to do
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: based on you know, six in one or five and one.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Because Tom puts in a real good thing. Are they
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: still doing X one make top cut? It would be
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: nice to get an extra on to make up for
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: best of one, But it doesn't look like the way
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the communities had. I mean, you get two fifty six
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and you cut the top eight, that's all your and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: oh players, that's your excellent players.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: That's rough.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: And we'll see, we'll see.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I think there there are a handful of people who
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: are very old TCG brained that have a hard time
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: with the Best of one, But I think a growing
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: greater percentage of altered players prefer best of one.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's that's bananas to me. That is bananas.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's more, but it's definitely more punishing.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's so punish game, so punishing and man and being
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: like cut depending on dependent on where they cut. Like
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: if they just go top eight cut, that is super
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: punishing because like, you lose the game and you're basically
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: like you might as well leave.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: That's what most people do. Yeah, but lose one game,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: you still have a chance. You just have to win
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: every other single game.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean most tournament play if you are
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: not at least x one. Yeah once once you hit
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: that second loss, yeah, just leave like your your day
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is done, right, But man to have to go undefeated
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: to get in the top eight. I mean I guess
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: like we can go over. Like they are offering a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: lot of goodies here, right, and the top player is
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: going to get that travel expensive accommodations to Paris for
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the World finals, and two players are gonna get those,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: So I mean then ain't cheap. I'm going to Baltimore
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: and I think one way is like three hundred bucks,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: so you're looking at like six hundred dollars there and back,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: you know, plus hotel.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, should be a couple grands you're winning.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Basically the first place top eight are gonna get sweet
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: sweet playmats, right ye, Game Jenic take Oh. I suppose
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Game Jenik is asthmade, right, so they would take over
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: this game, So that makes sense. Game makes a foiled playmath. Yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Game Jenik makes good stuff except for their sleeves, but
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: all the other stuff's great. Beyond the Gate Faction exclusive
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: cards from Beyond the Gates featuring the logo will be
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there the world Championship Hero Boosters, which looks like a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: textless sporterless also World Championship stamped and Beyond the Gate
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Adventure Foil pack. You know, I love my Foil Adventure path.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: It is a it is a thing from Set one.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this looks like it's the only way to
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: get the Set one Foiled Adventure cards.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I'm a big fan of all of those things.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Alter does really well with all of their prizing.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Those faction champion exclusive cards as well. Are a couple
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: months back, they put out a survey of like what
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: each person's favorite card is in each faction. So these
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: these are those cards. You got your Alaveria, your Moonlight, Jellyfish,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: your is that the Salvager, the Vaxium Salvager, Maxiom Salvager. Yeah,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: so prizing is really cool.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Top eight should definitely be your goal.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Right Uh well, I mean yeah, you always want to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: date to it, right.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: No, my goal is first place obviously.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Well I meant just so you get like all of
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the cool things except for place. Yes, yeah, to get
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the play mat, you have to be.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Top eight would give you the most bang for your boys. Yes,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: but man, it's going to be an uphill climb. Yep,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I mean no joke.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, who knows it could It could end up
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: really small and you could have a good chance. I
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: think as of right now, only.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: About twenty like that.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty tickets have been sold, but they haven't started
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: promoting it on socials yet, so we'll see if how
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: that goes.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Typically there are always a lot of last minute sign ups,
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: so we'll see it that goes.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: What was the last big main event? How many people
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: showed up there? That was an Arizona right.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that wasn't that one sponsored at all, though that
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: one doesn't count.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: That was all just easy.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: Oh they were they were just doing it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't really like.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Datively easier to travel to.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true as well.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Phoenix much better hub and it's within driving distance for me.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: My guess is it's going to be around one hundred
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and fifty players, just based on kind of what I'm
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: feeling out there and the fact that Baltimore is seeming
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: to work for more people according to just the responses
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I've seen. Not to mention, a lot of the Canadians
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: usually come down for competitive events, but now they have one.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah as well, So that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But they only have one. They only have one, but
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I can see them being more in Baltimore than Texas. Yeah, definitely,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, and even in key Forge for our events,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: we're noticing a definite decline because Canadians aren't really looking
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to travel here.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: You want to come here anymore, right, yep, yep.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: So I mean that that is definitely a thing that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: has affected attendance on our events for KeyForge. I could
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: definitely see that happening here as well. So I mean,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I I don't know, right, like each community is a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: little bit different, but yeah, no.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: It's definitely very valid. And then I think what might
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: also happen is people will kind of pick one event
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and see if they can get what they want out
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: of it, and if not, if there's an event that
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: happens after that they can make it too, they'll go
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to that next. So the main thing for anyone listening
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: is if you are wanting to attend one of the qualifiers.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I believe, as far as I've found, the only place
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: that has tickets for sale so far, places are Dallas, France, London, Germany, Canada,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: and the Netherlands, and the French one is going to
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: be I think a thousand, yeah, one twenty four places
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: for the French one.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, so you're talking about probably fill up.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the French one will fill up, no doubt.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: That's crazy cool, super cool, but super crazy too. Think
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think this one lists any of these structure yet.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: They're doing the main event on Saturday and then the
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: top will be played on Sunday. But there's also a
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: three v three and different side events, and they'll.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Have a team event. Huh yep, there's one thing. If
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: there's one thing what he likes, So this is team events.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: This one is the top four qualify for the World Championship.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: What what is the team event? And what is the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: team event? All consist of? How is how is an
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: altered team event?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Go?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: We've we had one at Packs Unplugged and it was
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. I think there's another one at
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: gen Con this year. I've never seen three v three.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: I think three v three is actually the free for all.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I also think three v three might be a bad
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: way of explaining.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: It, So it's not a team event event. It's a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: free for all.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, because two v two is the
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: team event and two is really cool. You have basically
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: a intersection thing TAML, so it makes like a t
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and then you go around like a half circle and
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: it's just whatever team meets their hero to their companion
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: first wins. So there's some really interesting strategies. A lot
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: of people usually play like a support deck and then
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: like the deck that will actually win. Okay, so Tom
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: says three D three is a team three times one
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: v one. Team that wins two matches gets the match
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: for their team.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, that's kind of what I figured.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: So how used to happening? Key for it is it
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: was a three v three, but everybody played different formats
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: because you had multiple formats. Altered really doesn't have very
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: many alternate formats yet or any really for that matter,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: or any that are official. Right besides, sealed in draft
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: would kind of be hard to do. I guess you
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: could do it. You set everybody down in an eight
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: person pod to do you know that one person does
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: their draft and then this person does sealed, and then
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you'd have a you'd have a constructed player as well.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: The twist is that the teammates cannot play the same faction,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: so it's three different factions I've never seen it it
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: played like that, or or organized one myself, but that'll
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: be pretty cool. As for anything streaming or broadcasting, I
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: think a lot of us are really pushing that. Basically
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: everyone has some sort of broadcast. I just don't know
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: any details about any of them yet. And then meta wise,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's still it's still really early in
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the meadow.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Want to fly me down? I'm broadcasting for him. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: got to set up. I can make a half of
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: CAPN between me and Cole. We can get this done.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Oh you'll probably be playing, won't you?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Uh? Not playing? No, I don't. I honestly don't know
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: what I am doing yet at Dallas.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: But what you're not gonna you aren't gonna play.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I can't play.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: If I'm judging Cole, you gotta play.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: You can't play and judge.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: This is true, But don't judge. Go play?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Uh uh probably not why I'm also judging at gen Con, so.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I probably Wow, that makes sense, But this is the
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: world qualifier. Gen CON's not.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: How else am I gonna get them to one day?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Possibly maybe invite me to France?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Well, you win, you don't get you don't give them
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the option.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm not hardcore enough to win. I don't
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: think top eight is maybe a reasonable goal if I
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: really tried.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on, you got you gotta play? Tell you
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: what I'll judge you play.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Sounds good, then just make rules as I go along.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That works.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The people that are gonna take first place are just
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: probably way too hardcore for me.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Who's gonna take first?
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: You look who? If you had to guess, right, if
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: you had a player on b G A right now,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I could see that guy, or I
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: suppose getting first.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Well we'll transition this into the into the last part
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: of the w c q's I have listed here. Okay,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: there will be BGA qualifiers which I may have a
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: chancets in playing in because it has been confirmed that
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: a Wall will be running at least one of them,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: which means I will be helping to run at least
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: one of them on BGA.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: And listen, Equinox, you need somebody to cast that, you
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: just call me up right, call it the Wookie.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: That's That's what I'll be doing for the A Wall one.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Well, not for a Wall, but for for for uh,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: for Dallas.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: You should you should ask UH your Baltimore store about
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: it too. I have not been able to squeeze out
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: any information.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: On the weird story. Baltimore has their own like setup.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: That store has its own I don't know if they
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: do a podcast or something, but they have a streaming
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: setup already there.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: So that would that would be a good That would
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: be a good way. Yeah, just they like have their
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: own room outside of it. So definitely I could do
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: But if if I'm going off of BGA, because I
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: have no idea who is going to take Dallas, because
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who all is playing or what
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: the you know, competitive scene will be like at the
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: end of the day in Dallas, BGA, I'm really rooting
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: for l wee Wee. L we we is our Altered
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: corner Ace friend and champion hero, all around great guy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Other than that, I just hope that everyone else kicks
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: the ass of all the Altered Aces players. That's all
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping for.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll keep you listened on something against Altered Aces,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: just not not again, just friendly rivalry because they're not
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: my team.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: So and Altered Aces UH has dubbed themselves like the
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: most competitive strongest, most fierce teams.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I put my mind to it, I could do it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a q Z is going to uh take take
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: them down.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: All right, altered. All you gotta do is kill off
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: key Forge, and I'll dedicate all my time.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, there are three total b GA qualifiers, I think,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: and I only.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Know is a I'm sorry doing all of them.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I only know that we're doing one. I don't. I
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: don't know about the other two. I would assume that
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: like kleb or someone over in France will also host one.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Well, you've you've made me sad today, Cole Robbie. I'm
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: just letting you know all that disappointed in you. M
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I think you should play.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: May maybe maybe in BGA.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: We'll see and I'll I think you should play in Dallas.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: I can't. I already agreed to maybe judge.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Well okay, so you just said it right there. You
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: agreed to maybe judge. Yeah maybe, yeah, maybe maybe you
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: play If.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: If I don't you asked to judge, and I don't
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: have a chance to cast, then I will play.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Oh come on, You'll be like, well, if I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: take any bad if I if I don't take any
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: bathroom breaks, then maybe I'll play.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Why do I have to play when I'm the personality
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: more than.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: Because you're you are you're you're so the heart of
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the Dallas KeyForge.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Yep, I love key Forge a lot.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're the heart of Dallas. Alter.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean I have to be a competitive player.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: No, you don't have to be a competitive player. But like,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: how many times are you going to have to compete
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: in this You don't know.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I will be there at Dallas. I just don't know
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: how yet.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: That's the most like right right, But I'm saying, how
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: many times are you going to be able to compete
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: for a chance to go to Paris?
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I will just continue annoying Loki until.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: He until he says, all right, Cole, I'll send you
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: a ticket.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's that's what I'm competing for.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I think I totally send all your hate
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: mail to Cole Robbie at gmail dot com about how
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: he absolutely should be playing in this event and like
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: shouldn't judge and shouldn't stream and should totally play. Send
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it all there.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: It's Cole Robbie twitch at gmail dot.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: There you go, Cole Robbie twitch at g dot Com,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: sign the petition and tell Cole Robbie to play in
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the game that he is propping up on his shoulders
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: for the Dallas area or to.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Chile, what's up? Shout out to uh Hero's guide to
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: as Gartha.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And Chili is going to be there. I bet you
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Chili is going to play.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I mean Chili's trying to not play as well.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: So what is going on in this world? What? What
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: do you mean Chili's trying to not play?
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Listen? I know I am key Forge. They don't have
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like anything other than players. But in Altered we have
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: like content creators.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: That's not true. We have content creators. We have we
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: have judges. We have that. I mean, they're not me.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: We have judges and we have content I am. I
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: am a content creator and a player. You could be
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: two things at the same time.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Not not if you're too busy doing the one thing.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Well, you're correct, but I think you should play. It's
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: just my story and I'm sticking to it. How many
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: how many emails need to come your way before you're like, fine,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: I'll play. Like, let's put a finite number on this.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Uh, there is no number. If I am asked to judge.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I will judge, because who else is going to judge
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: if I don't exactly what.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: There's gotta be other judges out there.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Not honestly, not in Dallas. I think in Dallas we
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: have maybe two because.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Well then they're gonna somebody out.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Ello is gonna play for sure. A lot of people
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: driving in are gonna play. So I'll, you know what,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I'll root for Elo to win Dallas and he'll be
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: my proxy.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: I would love to cast. I'm a big fan of casting.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I do love casting.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: If I had a choice, I would much prefer moving
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: into one hundred percent casting over judging. Judging is just
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: usually the one where you actually get paid typically.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they paid for my flight, I would
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: do it for free. Just play for my flight in
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: my hotel and we solid we're good. They probably don't
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: pay for that, I'm assuming, do I do?
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Would not know. They might have to end up. I
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: know in Canada right now they're trying to find local people.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: They said, if they cannot get enough people locally, then
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: they'll consider travel accommodations.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Well, you got a travel accommodation right here for your
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Boywookie to go to Dallas to meet to meet all
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: the misfits of the Altered Corner Army. If we have those,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I get to see Cole, I get
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to see Chili, all the peeps. But what else we
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: got in today? Are we ready to move on to Laura?
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: You've just I'm so disappointed, Like my whole my, my
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: whole day is just now. I was having a bad
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: day and now it's just a worse day.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: So Chili. Chili brings up a good point, says that
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: he would be happy to judge if required, but does
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: want a player card?
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: Why does why does everyone? What? What? Why does everybody
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: want to judge? Because it pays a paying gig?
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I yes, because it's easier for me to do it.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: If I'm getting paid, I have to take off work
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: and stuff.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: All right, fair enough?
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: But two, I think I am literally only one of
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: two people in this area that can judge, and honestly,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: in Texas, I might be like one of three people
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: in all of Texas that I know might be okay
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: with judging. Which isn't to say that people that are
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: newer can't judge, because I fully think if you want
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: to be a floor judge, you should just do it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Because anywhere where I'm judging, at least, we have a
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: very collaborative mentality, and the head judge is really the
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: one that needs to like know everything in and out
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: and be prepared for, you know, escalations. So if you
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: want to try to be a floor judge, I definitely
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: do recommend just trying it. And I'm putting together some materials.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Other people are putting together materials to help train so
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: but I promise I don't know any specific details. I
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: have been told that the judge package for the altered
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: judges does seem really cool so far.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: All right, I think you're blowing a huge opportunity here,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: but I'll trust your judgment.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I think you you give me more credit for being
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: a good player than I than I deserve.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: I think you are you know what, only good players
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: play ship decks.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: I know this for a fact, so I mean it
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: is what it is.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: So all right, last last question on this area, what
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: qualifies one as a judge. There's no specific judge program yet.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: There was a test that was just like a four
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: fun quick official. The only reason I'm saying I don't
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: think anyone else would judge is just based on like
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: talking with people. Most people I know in Texas would
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: much prefer to lay and don't get deep into the
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: judging side of it. Me and Vin from Common Ground
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: are the only ones I know that are looking into judging.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: And I have technically judged two events.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: So I think Cole is a better player than he
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: gives himself credit for. Yeah, that's all. I just think
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: he's a better player than he gives himself credit for.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's like secretly a very good player, maybe
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: one of the tops. And he handicaps himself by playing
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: trash decks. That's normally what That's normally what those tricky,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: tricky good players do.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: But that that is enough about scolding me for not playing.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Oh no, we have when is this October? When is
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: it happening? I forgot. I already wears that article. It's
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: happening in August, right, August, September, September, August. Yeah, we
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: got like another like month and change to harass you
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, sounds good. I go from judging at gen Con,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: I get home, I have about two days and then
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I go to me too.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and gen Con is normally the first week in August,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: first in August. Yeah.
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: Well, both of my summer classes finals in August seventh,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: and I'm going to gen Con the weekend of the second. Yeah,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: so it's going to quake Con.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: My guess is jen Con, and I'm not looking at
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: gen CON's schedule. I'm sure it's out already, but it's
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be the thirty first, first, second, and third.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Thirty first to third.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep. So my schedule and dexter years shouldn't be
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: as consistent as mine because you're just playing in yekn.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: I fly out to gen Con on Wednesday the thirtiethly
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: home on Monday the fourth, and then I think quake
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Con technically starts on the seventh on Thursday, yep. So
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know for sure, but I'm just assuming. And
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: so I have this whole week off of my real job.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: That'll Yeah. I am ready to be available the seventh, eighth, ninth,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: and tenth if I need to.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: So you're taking pretty much two weeks off from work
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: for this, yep.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: It's it's been the most time I've taken off from
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: work in like six years, other than when I was unemployed,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: but that's not quite the same.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: And not compete, not even give yourself.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Competing in gen Con.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you want for.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you suck.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: So Dexter probably has a higher ELO than I do.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but elo is only a number with meaning when
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: it has when it's has meaning to the player.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Dexter probably has more thirty nine cards placements than I do.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's same thing, right, Yeah, you have.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: One, two, three, four, six, seven, eight. I think I
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: have one. I have eight? Really, yep, I have I
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: have won all the way back in November of last year.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: This by player dirty card secrets.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: He's probably got some bullshit on the back end where
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: he gets the see things. Because he's col Robbie, he's
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: better than you.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not better. I'm just help. I offer my help
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: and everything.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: So I battered, I sometimes mean more connected. These things
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: are kind of the same.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: I'm also an admin on thirty nine cards.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: So.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Because of course he is. Why wouldn't he be?
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: Yep, but uh, do you want to tell us about
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: a hot bunny in our area?
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Hot bunnies, Hot bunnies near you five miles away? Just
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: click on this link that I sent to your text messages. Oh,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: actually the name of the article is hot bunny in
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: your area wants to meet. Yep, that's kind of hilarious.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: But hot bonn in your ario wants to meet. What's
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: the moral of the story? Again, Slow and Steady wins
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: the race. First of all, I never understood why the
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: hair thought taking a nap during a race would be
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: a good idea. If I've done that while competing, Carmela
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: would have given me a brutal thrashing I'd never forget. Yeah, okay,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I've had my fair share of thrashings, I admit, but
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: never because I had taken a nap in the middle
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: of a run. All that to say that I'd really
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: like it from the flaming rabbit I'm following would decide
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: to take a nap, But nope, it just keeps jumping
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: and jumping and I can't catch it. But that's kind
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of the point, to give me a reason to speed
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: up a bit. What did Basira call it again? Oh? Yeah,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: I carrot. But she'd politely decline when I asked her
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: if she could train me, saying that I would just
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: dangle a carrot in front of my face and keep
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: charging forward. Thinking back on it now, it was probably
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: just a way to make fun of me. But I'm
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: headstrong and used to being teased, so I went right
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: over my head like way over. So I'm chasing a
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: fire rabbit and happy to do so. It helps ensure
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I don't lose my touch, I muttered to myself. Gull
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: is always saying that all my talent is in my legs.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: There's nothing in my head or arms. And the worst
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: thing is that she's probably right here. I'll need more
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: than my pinons. I'm well aware of that. I need
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: to exercise my biceps and definitely my gray matter, and
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: that starts with finding a way to intercept this damned
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: long earned rodent earned rodent. As I jumped from thought
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: to thought, I think back to the old tail of
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: the monkey, the otter, the rabbit and the old man
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: weight or was it monkey, fox and bear. Anyway, what
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I've learned from and the moral of the story was
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: that you should give it your all you've got, and
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: that's what I tried my best to do all my life.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: And this is a source. An old Buddhist tale tells
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: of a rabbit and its friends, a monkey and otter
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: and a jackal who wanted to do some charitable work
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: deciding to help a hungry beggar, The monkey offered mangoes
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: in water, the otter fresh fish from the river, and
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: the jackal a grilled lizard skewer and some milk curd.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: The rabbit, having nothing to offer except some blades of grass,
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: willingly jumped into the fire to offer the traveler its
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: own flesh, But to its surprise, the flames didn't burn
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: it because the old man was in fact Sakra, who
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: had come down to test their altruism. A reward, the
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: lord of the Devas drew the rabbit's likeness on the
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: moon so that everyone on Earth could remember its virtue.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: That's a cool little story, as told by kojo Ye
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: through the lovely voice of Wookie.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Of the Wookie, I've become to hate my own voice,
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: But here we are.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: My rabbit is just always on fire. Huh.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's a hot bunny in your area.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: It's a hot money in your area. Trying to get
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: through check your spam folder.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: My cat ribbon says, Hi, he's jumped up on my lap.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Why doesnt have a horn?
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: Huh? I never noticed that? That was that the unique
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: art on it?
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the art, Yeah, it grows a horn.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: My horn can pierce the sky.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, explain So explain the horn. What do you mean,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: I don't it's got a horn. Bunnies don't have horns.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: It's also got blue eyes.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: They all have blue eyes.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: They don't know they have red eyes and.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Have blue eyes. Huh. Never notice these things before. The
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: more you know, the more you know.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: So events today is Saturday. Probably both of the new
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: ACE events will have already happened by the time you're
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: listening to this, unless you're in the live chat live
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: cast right now, which if you didn't know, we do
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: in the discord, so another reason to join the Altered
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Corner discord. We are doing two events this season. ACE
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: season four has started. I've been trying to do things
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: based on how events in the past have gone and
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: changing it up a little bit. But for a fun
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: extra event, we're doing a Battle Royale, which will actually
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: be tomorrow night, and it'll probably only last one week
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: because I said if it dips below twenty four players
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: that I'll just focus on the full a season. It's basically,
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: whatever hero wins a week, they are not allowed in
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: the next week. So first week, of course, is all
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Heroes and then we'll see how long it lasts. Season four, though,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: will be on Tuesdays once again, classic ace format, single elimination.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Prizing will be a little different. I'm going to be
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: tracking wins like I did in season three, but the
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: top four players by amount of wins will get some
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: special prizing that I will ship out to them, So
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: it will be physical rewards for those top four, and
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: then we'll do a championship at the end of the season.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: But the championship will just be open invite. Just honestly,
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: takes too much time to try and wrangle people that
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: qualified and get them to actually join or just give
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: me an answer if they're available or not, so might
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: as well have the championship just be open to whoever
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: wants to join.

  Speaker 1: what does Draconis have for us this week?
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: All right, it is Draconis. Draconis's back. It was nice
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: to see Tom as well and all of you in
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: the live chat. My name is Jeff Chilli and Aphix
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Draconis says, do any of you think you could get
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: out of the maze? What character would you bring along
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: from the set to help you?
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean Dadalus literally built the maze, so I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: think I would go with Daedalus and he would. He
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: built the maze, so he knows how to get out,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: so I think he could help me get out too.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: That's such a basic chancer.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Does he refuse because he built the maze precisely to
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: not let people get out?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe he does, But then he'll be stuck in there
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: with me.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: He'll just step over the maze or poof out.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: He's got magic stuff.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: Now, why wouldn't he?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: How do you think he created the maze?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: He built it?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Have you not seen the picture of data lists? He's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: like as big as a fucking city.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is true.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: What what is his character type? It's got to be
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: like maje or something, isn't it. I cannot believe I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: spelt it correct. Oh it's engineer all right, never mind. Uh,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: he is definitely massive though.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's very large.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: We will have to read his lawyer when it releases
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: on the website. All right, but all right, wookie, who
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: are you picking Venka? The Venka is technically in the set,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: so that's a bad That's a valid answer.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I know, more valid than you'd think. But you're welcome,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: all of you.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: I am picking the Minotaur, and we're just fucking wait.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Wait does anybody are you going to fight him?
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Why would I fight the minotaur?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: Because that's like the whole point of the name.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: I get. I guess it is any character. I was
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: kind of thinking hero. That's where my head was going.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, either works.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cards are characters.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I know. I just when you
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: said that, I was like, oh, you know, I didn't
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: even think about like character characters. Yeah, well I had
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: my head went straight to heroes and I tuned out Dex.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Drank Minutar is my homie, so he'll be on my side.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Not Alivera. Oh no, I'm sorry, tiny gin.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: They're not in this set.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean he said any from the set. I
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: don't read.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're card game players.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: You think we read.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I just see the art and I make up what
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: the card does.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Yep. Next question is what kind of meta shift are
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: you thinking we'll start happening with the news set. This
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: one has actually been kind of hard for me because
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: all of the tournaments have been mostly on a break
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: while pre releases happen. I think Fenn got more options
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: and should hypothetically be even stronger going into the set
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: from pre release vibes. Ortis is going to take a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: big hit. Oh no, I've had a couple of people
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: say what they're kind of breakdown of their pre release was,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: and there are many many pre releases where there were
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: zero Ortists. That could be because there was no Sigi.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: So maybe Siggy is still up there. I don't know,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: though I am ready to be pleasantly surprised. I think
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: we will see a very good Saudi performance from the season.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: Other than that, I think it can go any which way,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: and a lot of people are still figuring out the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: new set.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm kind of in a similar boat, just
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: because we haven't seen any tournament results yet, so we
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: don't really know for sure. But I think it's going
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: to be a lot of the same, but then also
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: a few key heroes that get a good boost, and
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: I think we'll see more of are going to be
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: you're Akeisha, and then gul Ring. I think we'll see
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: more of all of those.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, we will see more of the purple bitch.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: That I Akeisha, who.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what what's her name? Cole?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: We don't talk about her? Oh, we don't talk about it, Kesha.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Well I got you to say it, so my day,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: my work here is done.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: She was absolute annoyance during the demo deck events. I'm
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: glad she didn't win though they're such.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: A hater, you bet, I'm a hater, all right. Well,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: I believe that's gonna do it for us this week
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: unless we mess something. I don't believe we did. We
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: had all of that and your questions. Make sure you
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: do all the things I said before, and we will
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: see you all next week.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: Either no, no, I'll tell.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: You what you
