- 0:39One I don't know. Sheep said he's getting up in three in the
- 0:42morning, so I don't know what he's doing. Probably going camping. I
- 0:44think you said camping. Is he going camping? Walk? He has to
- 0:48record the AC fans? Man, Oh, he was recording the AC only
- 0:51fans right now? Got it right right on? Um and drazz Core is
- 0:55at a production meeting. He's actually producing woe as we speak. That's a
- 1:00lie, but we do have big what's up to date? I'm back.
- 1:04I'm sorry I missed out. I knew I couldn't make the Friday one,
- 1:07but I was pleased being here last week. But thing came up that I
- 1:11had to attend to you. Yeah, my apologies. These things they happen.
- 1:15That's why we have five people on this show. Yeah yeah, like
- 1:18maybe I was gone to an opie event. Oh oh, which one?
- 1:23That one over there? Yea, and it was Lord Canna like Lord Canna
- 1:27pre release and before we got the Ewaukee Ist of Ewoks Ewok Junior. Hello,
- 1:36key Forge community. So big news today, guys. We got a
- 1:40rule book. We're gonna probably go through the rule buck on more of a
- 1:42later date. Um. A lot of changes, a lot to read,
- 1:46a lot to take in. UM, I don't know. I've gotten most
- 1:51of the way through with it, and I don't know. I'm not seeing
- 1:53a ton of changes, but we'll get there. We'll talk about it.
- 1:56Um well, I think WOOKI there are quite a few changes. But there's
- 2:00also a couple of their individuals podcasts talking about it. And we have some
- 2:04really big news that, you know, we want to go ahead and prioritize
- 2:07first, So we're finding let's start out. Let's start out with the Ancient
- 2:10Bear Republic League. Boys. How you doing, how you feeling, how
- 2:14you're hanging in there? I lost this week, I got wrecked by that
- 2:19set, you're off the show. You're off the show. Leave van Soil.
- 2:23I kicked my butt, But like the two decks that I let my
- 2:24team borrow, both like they both piloted really well and they got wins.
- 2:30So like my decks that went two and one, my decks are better than
- 2:34I am apparently so I mean, I'm I guess part of the x ray
- 2:38philosophy of by the winds, um ye buy them, buy them now?
- 2:42All they're hot? Well and this week this week for ABR, it was
- 2:46straight up our counting, but it was best of three. Did you end
- 2:51up making it into game three? No? No, I got wrecked.
- 2:54Like Game one, it was actually closed, back and forth, very competitive.
- 2:59We'd actually played that matchup before. Um I think I did, actually
- 3:04losing on a misplay that didn't even occur to me. Had a winning line
- 3:07until after the game, so just to head to play to two good competitors.
- 3:12Game two, I was actually like playing with a pretty strong hold.
- 3:15Um my opponent at some point ransacked me for five, which that car doesn't
- 3:21actually do that, but that's what happened. However, I was still ahead
- 3:28and then he topped decked key Frog to end the game with me on check
- 3:32for a win, which he could not stop. So that's key forge.
- 3:38I mean, like that's why we played the game, because you gotta gotta
- 3:42play the car to see who's gonna win. And um now I would like
- 3:46to have seen that game three because of how like well Falled the first game
- 3:49was, and then how like fluky the second one was. But he got
- 3:53the win, called it a day and am onto next week and what what
- 3:58two decks made it? In this shootout he was playing Leader, which has
- 4:02been featured in KFPL. I don't know if he does in KFL because I
- 4:05don't do that world, but like i'd seen it way back in KFPL and
- 4:10I was on Galaxy. We'd played that match before. It's a really really
- 4:15heads up match. You gotta constantly be aware of what's going on, which
- 4:18I think had I been paying a little bit more, I mean I kind
- 4:23of talked about it lately. I don't play online much anymore, so like,
- 4:27if I guess I was a little bit sharper, I probably could have
- 4:29taken Game one. I just needed to be a little bit more heads up
- 4:32with my lines and planning on what I knew his end game was I just
- 4:36didn't sequence my end game well enough to match his. I adjusted for that
- 4:43in game two, and then the cards just said you lose. So I
- 4:49hopefully I'll play Sharper in the future, although I doubt I'm going to be
- 4:54practicing that much, so maybe not a fun story. I ransacked for three
- 4:59this week. Yeah, well that's not five. Yeah no, no,
- 5:03it's not five, but I need I needed exactly three to take said person
- 5:09off of check for endgame and it did it, and I was I was
- 5:12like, this is literally my only out and I played it and there it
- 5:15was. Yeah, and like at first you don't know what happens. Everyone
- 5:18knows how persiple is, like they'll play a card and then sup, and
- 5:23then you did, like you see the scroll wheel on the right or the
- 5:26log and then you like look at your amber, you look at their amber.
- 5:29You're like what hell? I was like, okay, all right,
- 5:33that's the thing. Yeah, I remember. I was like sitting there,
- 5:36I'm like, this is literally my only option to take him off keys so
- 5:41that I can get back in this game. And like, I don't remember
- 5:44if I won the game or not, but it was worth it made me
- 5:48feel better almost as good as a bait and switch. But ewak, how
- 5:53did your ab our games go this week? Yeah, we did end up
- 5:59playing two at three UM. I ended up going ahead and winning based our
- 6:02good friend Ben Monkey, so it was really good to see a friend and
- 6:06to be able to play. But he was on Zack's big Cornelius of at
- 6:12Lantum and solid MM deck, sitting ninety one SaaS just quad LETHO Auto and
- 6:17quota mind over matter. It was you then have huge untamed burst with uh,
- 6:28well it has Punk, it has Dirk Harbinger with three of the mutations
- 6:32lost in the woods, another two rapid evolutions troop call there, while Bounty
- 6:36just it's it's pretty beastly. Um. But I immediately went ahead and I
- 6:44was on my Xander. So Xander is my world's collide and it's a board
- 6:48spam deck is really what it is. And so game one UM, actually
- 6:57both game one and game two Auto and Quota was down on turn one or
- 7:00turn two for him. So that's that's brutal because I do not have any
- 7:03artifact control and that leads to some real big issues. But he on his
- 7:12opening play and played mind over matter in game one and in my opinion,
- 7:16he does have a way to be able to cycle back to it very very
- 7:19quickly. But I thought that wasn't honestly, probably a misplay in my opinion,
- 7:25because I'm on Xander and Zander is I have a whole bunch of warding,
- 7:29but I get double Tracerian, Legionary Pompatus, double shricks, Ludo pare
- 7:35Guardian, and so that Sorian package can go ahead and really put up four.
- 7:42And if I look at the two decks, I immediately see I'm going
- 7:46to try and spam out creatures. So his see was what I immediately looked
- 7:50at, mind over matter lost in the woods, and then it goes to
- 7:54Deadbone Decimus, and I will be honest, Deadbone did I've never seen a
- 7:59dead and put in more work than in this deck and in our matchups.
- 8:03But I could take advantage of the mind over matter when it was played early
- 8:09because he had to cycle back to it um. So that was the major
- 8:13piece in my opinion. Two of those lethos were buried in the very very
- 8:18bottom couple of cards, and I just I pushed game two. I had
- 8:22a very very different line that I played. I didn't play much of my
- 8:28shadows in game one, but in game two, UM, I pushed dinos
- 8:33early and when I say dinos, it was turn turn one. I had
- 8:37placed Dino going first. He went ahead and bounced it, and I made
- 8:43the choice to go ahead and come right back, and I plopped down basically
- 8:48saying take take me off or for j key, and it was protected.
- 8:54Um. He had a really, really, really nice play, which was
- 8:58he actually humbled my shricks so that that I know you don't think about it,
- 9:05but okay, So so Humble is starring card with an amber pip action
- 9:11play exhaustive creature. If you do move three amber from that creature to the
- 9:15common supply, it was well warded. There was nothing he could do to
- 9:18stop it, and that was his out, and sure enough he found it
- 9:22so awesome, awesome insight to be able to see that because you don't think
- 9:26of Humble is taking somewhat basically stopping them from check your Most people use it
- 9:31to protect their own amber. That's gonna be taken. But it was awesome
- 9:35play, and frankly it forced the rest of the game because that was a
- 9:41huge push for me, and I leaned into it and it basically kept it
- 9:46off for another turn or two, but both games were super close. I
- 9:52honestly feel that if he had one more turn, like he came back at
- 9:54the end and had two major bursts that caused him issue, but I locked
- 10:03out there. And then in game number two, again it was close,
- 10:07but I was able to go hide and eke it out. So I love
- 10:11the game. Xander is still my baby. But Xander has no R and
- 10:18really some of these top MM decks that I'm seeing it really struggles without the
- 10:22R but still fun to play. My style definitely that all right, vastly
- 10:31strong. Well. I played some games with Dan this week. That's my
- 10:35big Me and Dan got together this week because I wanted to try a deck
- 10:39that I had never tried that I never even really honestly even looked at.
- 10:43It's French Worlds Collide, and it was never a deck that I honestly ever
- 10:48had any sort of thinkings about. It's an eighty three Sass, so it's
- 10:52okay. But I was just kind of like, like it didn't tickle my
- 10:56fancy. So I was like, Dan, I want to try this deck.
- 10:58Let's play some games. Um, I think it won all the games,
- 11:03and when I played, I think we played three and it won all
- 11:05three Funniest story. Um, if you Senator shricks and tribute that Imperial forage,
- 11:13Um, it gets crazy. I didn't know if anybody it gets nuts.
- 11:20I didn't think it got that nuts, and I didn't think the deck
- 11:22could pull it off because it literally only has Eddie to do any well,
- 11:26it's got memory chip two. But um, it's only gotten tawtow vapors and
- 11:31Eddie to archive. But it can find that combo not terribly hardly. That
- 11:37sounds wrong, not terribly hard so surprisingly enough like that that, Yeah,
- 11:43easily, it can find it easily, thank you. Yeah. So I
- 11:48was like, oh, this is the thing that exists, so I might,
- 11:52uh might play some games with that deck. I'm not sure. Um.
- 11:54I enjoyed the few games I did play with it. So so far,
- 11:58so good. But we do have some game foul news, gentlemen to
- 12:03go over. We finally have a well at least a month. But to
- 12:07go into it. Um, if you are tie, I am sorry.
- 12:11M gig has canceled their tie translations. Um. And if you were impacted,
- 12:18they said they've already contacted you. No, but shipping shipping will be
- 12:24at the end of May. This is confirmed by their own website. But
- 12:30as he said, this is this is nothing new. We already thought it
- 12:33would be that time. Yeah, Like I when they announced it back in
- 12:39January, it was gonna be like roughly six months from their December pledge closed
- 12:45date or whatever. Um, so here we are, this is about that
- 12:50time. Yeah, um so, but I guess, like, well we
- 12:54kind of talked pre show. I mean this does mean we have an official
- 12:58you know, there is months stand Yeah. Yeah, so that's that's nice.
- 13:03And end of May is is where we're looking. So we're hoping to
- 13:07have products. Um, I don't know if that means like end of May
- 13:11you're getting your like notice that here is your shipping email. That means like
- 13:18end of May. That like hey, it's on your doorsteps. Like that
- 13:22is a you know, potentially one to two week difference depending on method of
- 13:26shipping and all that. But either way, like we are at this time
- 13:31of the recording a month and a half away from getting to play Woes decks
- 13:37that we've we've we bought like almost your six weeks if you are international,
- 13:43They do say it will be a little bit longer. Um, how much
- 13:48they did not say but around here to Dan's not around here to defend the
- 13:54whole like, um, Dan knows shipping. If there's one thing, Dan
- 13:58knows, it's shipping right here to defend the whole kickstarter thing. But like
- 14:01as far as the way, like you know, game found kickstarters, crowd
- 14:03funny stuff like this is actually a fairly good return on in order. Like
- 14:09I again, I've said this cup left I bought somebody like seven years ago.
- 14:13I still don't have. UM, So not that not bad at the
- 14:20grand scheme of things. As far as a product delivery from a crowd funded
- 14:24source, I agree one hundred percent. I think this is exciting. It'll
- 14:28be really really nice to have more Wodex. I have gone through mine.
- 14:31I know we've played all of Sheep's as well. Um And I think that
- 14:37this then holds a different light to OpEd, because once decks are out,
- 14:43it's no longer hey, this there's no product from FFG and you're you're trying
- 14:50to run OP like they found themselves in a really really difficult spot. Um
- 14:54and they did acquire the game, they knew this taking it on. But
- 14:58I'm excited to be able to have the decks for woe. At that point,
- 15:01we can now go gangbusters going forward. That's my hope and goal,
- 15:05and people can be excited about the game back into it. Well, but
- 15:09I'm gonna I'm gonna pop your bubble here a little bit. You may have
- 15:13yard decks, but your algefs we still don't have word on whether and when
- 15:20they're going to be able to get decks. I hear that, and that
- 15:22is the negative news. I do agree that it is a problem, but
- 15:26I also know our community is amazing and there are already people who have gone
- 15:30at and said, hey, I'm going into the community. We're running this
- 15:33event with this box that I've picked up, and you know, not everyone's
- 15:39going to be willing to do that. But we need to have some excitement
- 15:43for the game. There's a lot of time that keeps passing, boys,
- 15:46and if if we're not being excited, even as content creators, they can
- 15:50only imagine other individuals who are out there, who are you know, going
- 15:54off to other games. Frankly, there are other games that are coming out
- 15:58that are enticing, and we need some information. We need to be able
- 16:03to create some content. We need to get excited about the game again.
- 16:06Ze you talked about, Hey, I don't really like playing online. There's
- 16:10a lot of players that they just play in person. So yes, game
- 16:14found, we need to get it in our hands. We need to build
- 16:17some excitements and then we as the AC group here, we can go ahead
- 16:22and talk about, well, now that we have product, where's that product
- 16:26getting into stores and what are we looking at for OP. And I do
- 16:32think that those conversations can be more critical at that point once we have product.
- 16:37But the product was holding up and I'm excited to be able to see
- 16:40an end date versus question mark because there were a lot of question marks and
- 16:44while we can see six months, I'm glad that that is confirmed. I'm
- 16:48very happy. Yeah, OP very critical to the life of a game,
- 16:53like no doubt in my mind. Also posted in our discord. If we're
- 16:59not a member of our score and find that little link below, you can
- 17:00try and have some fun. Um. It has been confirmed that once you
- 17:06arrive, once you receive your woldecks, you will be able to scan them
- 17:08into the master vault. Basically is a heads up that they are working on
- 17:15the scan. Nobody tried um either, you guys actually just just just tried.
- 17:22I did a long time ago. They tried today. No, but
- 17:27I trust our ac so much like I swear they spam the key forwarding dot
- 17:32com site because anything that's posted, like we get a message within ten seconds.
- 17:36Oh that's a bot. But yeah, so like, if it was
- 17:40possible, I trust that's fun in our channel would have scanned it ran I
- 17:48don't. I don't know if anybody was like wants to try it. Yeah,
- 17:52I almost want to go grab one right now or Southerly or someone out
- 17:59there is like scanning a random lodeck like every three hours, it's probably jam
- 18:04if I had to put money on it to be a jam, just just
- 18:10because like right like then, I feel strongly that that has happened. Um,
- 18:17but speaking of OP, the lifeblood of any card game, we got
- 18:21some new news about OP. Sheep, what don't we Yeah, it was
- 18:25so exciting. He's not It was so exciting. Sheep decided to go camp
- 18:29against he decided to go live like a homo instead. Sheep's not here,
- 18:36Zee, Why don't you take a take our new OP news out of the
- 18:41way. Um, I'm not good at reading things verbatim, so maybe you
- 18:45walk would find it. While we're talking about it, but Arthur did.
- 18:48Uh so, I don't think it was like four or five weeks ago.
- 18:52We talked about how we assumed that Arthur was going to take on the vault
- 18:56because he had made a new Facebook. He had made a new discord.
- 19:02Well, he had took part of his board twinch discord and dedicated it to
- 19:06Keyford vaults. He accidentally posted for like thirty minutes which our ac loyals found
- 19:14within that thirty minutes, yeah, a reference to a potential Origins vault.
- 19:22And he recently posted a message which you walk I think you have it to
- 19:26read for us now I do, all right, walkbots here. So Arthur
- 19:32Kelly, posting in Facebook, had said, hey everyone, I just wanted
- 19:37to drop a small update regarding Origins, game Fair and KeyForge. Sadly,
- 19:41to my best attempts in pursuit to bring a vault tour to Origins, I
- 19:45failed. I could not convince the decision makers to bring it there. I
- 19:49then tried to pivot and bring some alternative events, but time ran out.
- 19:52I'm really sorry, but I tried to bring some keyforgs there. I have
- 19:56plenty, I'll have plenty of gen con as I have years now in a
- 20:00couple of weeks when events go live, look for board Crunch and our sealed
- 20:03events. So that was one of the posts that we can see from Arthur
- 20:10Um. He did make another one and it was posted by Joker in our
- 20:15discordant that one too. Yeah. Added to be clear, this is my
- 20:21personal attraction from the game, and by no meeds should anyone anyone imply that
- 20:26Ghost Galaxies and our key Forge Vault tours or organized play are in any way
- 20:30impacted. My involvement in key Forge going forward forward will be limited at best.
- 20:37I'll be a part of it, just reduced, But I hope you
- 20:40all support the game as details emerge. I had hoped to have more Volked
- 20:45Little Miss Speller Vault information to share, but alas I don't. There will
- 20:51be no key key Forget origins that much I know there will. Still you
- 20:55can still find me a gen Con. I'll have tons of an expensive sealed
- 20:57decks events gen Con, look up board Crunch when events go live, key
- 21:03Forge, Dice Throne, King of Tokyo, ran Land's fire Tower, and
- 21:06some custom X one so I've never played, so no, no like.
- 21:15This was kind of our our saving saving grace is we know Arthur. I've
- 21:25never met Arthur, I've talked to him many many times, UM, and
- 21:29he seemed to be like the one. He seemed to be the ordained one,
- 21:33right, like he was the one that was going to take it.
- 21:36And I know Z and I am right there with you. We fully felt
- 21:38Arthur was was the one to get this up and rolling. Yeah, because
- 21:45like I said it again, I don't know if it was five or six
- 21:47kgo, but we definitely talked to that way. This whole thing about like
- 21:49okay, do we think there's me blots? And my whole thing was like
- 21:53we knew Arthur was involved, And at that point I was like, Okay,
- 21:56I trust him. He runs great events. He he provides a very
- 22:00good product. And I was like, okay, UM, no matter when
- 22:04they're going to be released, like I can wait for it doesn't matter when
- 22:07I'm confident that we'd get to go to the five that they announced and everything
- 22:11will be good under the assumption that there was going to be him running all
- 22:15of them, right, Like that was my goat too. It was like
- 22:18Okay, it's all fine, but like if he's not running it, I
- 22:22don't know who would be. Um, I am now more worried than I
- 22:27was, because like when we made that prediction, I was like, sure,
- 22:30we're gonna have five vaults. It's gonna be fantastic, Bookie. I
- 22:33think you said we might have one or two. Dan said one. Um,
- 22:37I don't remember what I said, one or two. Dan said.
- 22:41I think Dan said one or two. I said one. Yeah. So
- 22:45we've actually covered this twice because you know, we saw what we saw the
- 22:51website that Arthur had produced. That's a solid investment of time and energy.
- 22:56We then saw the change from four to five events in the US, and
- 23:00like we're we're very, very excited at this point. But then you know,
- 23:04time kept ticking by, and it was posted on our discord, like
- 23:10what's happened. We thought we were gonna hear by the end of the week,
- 23:12by the end of two weeks, three weeks, and to see this
- 23:18news, I know there's a lot of new excitement for rules and for the
- 23:23fulfillment, and the fulfillment is exciting, but this news for a competitive group
- 23:30that you know, we're running a competitive keyboards podcast, lack of ope is
- 23:34really absolutely depressing. And that's the tone of his like messages, both of
- 23:41them. I got like mostly a sad vibe, Like I didn't get any
- 23:45animosity coming through. Really, It's just more like like this kind of sucks
- 23:49for me to kind of vibe like from what he wrote, he didn't write
- 23:52much like I definitely like he's been supporting keyboards since the very beginning, like
- 24:00he ran Avanta, gin Con and the other words, just like he's always
- 24:03been Fuck, he's been consistent, he's been positive for the community. So
- 24:11what this lines and again, hopefully I know he invests a lot of time.
- 24:15There's other games that are at gen Con and the other cons that he's
- 24:21running. But it worries me boys that we're here, and it kept ticking
- 24:26further and further, and so that's a communication issue. That's say we're not
- 24:32in agreement on what something yes, And so if Arthur, who's been committed
- 24:41and willing to go ahead and really help this game and the competitive scene being
- 24:45more successful, my faith in us being able to run Vault Tours and being
- 24:53able to participate has significantly decreased. Yeah, I mean I was I don't
- 25:02know, I was being like somewhat flippant in the chat earlier about like well
- 25:07maybe like they their next announcement we get regarding OPE is like okay, Like
- 25:11we tried some stuff like from GG and it's just not gonna work out this
- 25:17year. We're gonna actually get it right in twenty four, Like I am
- 25:21more towards like kind of where Wookie was at one point, like that might
- 25:25just be it. Like um, and if they came out and said that
- 25:29tomorrow, I think I would probably be more okay with that than just this
- 25:33constant lull and waiting. Um would that suck? Yes, But like fine,
- 25:41I'm gonna good to play WHOA. I'll play at the the you know,
- 25:45do what I want to do with the store level with it. We
- 25:48could have local store events, we could run like you know, get some
- 25:51kind of product over the next fall through Christmas from them, some kind of
- 25:56support just to play in the stores again, and then a slower release or
- 26:00something like I don't know if that's where we're at, that's where we're at.
- 26:03I just want to know, Like, because if they were going to
- 26:08have five vaults between now and worlds, like it is April and assuming you
- 26:15want an admit that big, to give people at least two months notice,
- 26:18the earliest you would start would be June twenty first at this point. Well,
- 26:23but the schedule, Yeah, the schedule had them all in June and
- 26:27July. So I think that that schedule has been busted up for a while.
- 26:32I do agree with that. I don't even think the end of June
- 26:34is feasible at this point. Yeah, and then, like, if you're
- 26:37going to have them, they gotta be before Worlds because that's the only way
- 26:41we can get the worlds. So if you can't have them, then there's
- 26:45no reason to have worlds. If there's have worlds, you don't have nationals.
- 26:48So in the end, if this is just not going to happen,
- 26:49just tell us now, Like I don't know, all right, I am
- 26:56happy that we're going to get the woe, Like I'm very happy with that
- 27:00news, but I am, as you know, a competitive player, as
- 27:03the main reason that I ever joined the cast, and I show up to
- 27:07talk about this stuff like that is pretty just hardening for me. But hey,
- 27:11maybe we will still have five vaults run by Gigi. I guess like
- 27:18gg would be running them themselves at that point, Like that would be fine,
- 27:22Um, but yeah, we would need the dates. I need to
- 27:23buy tickets, like all these people that need to request stop work. Yeah,
- 27:29like people you know, and if you're talking about summer, I've already
- 27:32heard like four or five very competitive players say they are now family booked almost
- 27:38the whole summer. So like at this point anything over the summer, they're
- 27:42you know, making other arrangements, negotiating with children and wives and you know
- 27:47all this stuff that because it looks like I'm in boys, I got a
- 27:51chance, I got a chance the true negotiation skills with their children. And
- 27:56yeah, this game like like I mean not everyone's like me and has you
- 28:02know, three months of you know, PTO time stacked up where I can
- 28:07just be like, well, douces them out, you know. I mean
- 28:10my Brewers are doing well too, so you know October is going to be
- 28:12booked for me. And being a teacher, I'm somewhat lucky in that aspect
- 28:18of that is much easier for me to manage. Your summers are off,
- 28:22right, Yeah, which is why I went to so many walls in the
- 28:23first place. But like all the people I'm talking about are like very serious
- 28:27about this game, and at this point, like there's only two maybe three
- 28:32weekends period. If they randomly happen to fall on that they even have a
- 28:36shot to go to now and it's already and that's assuming we got the announcement
- 28:41of the VAUL dates like to date, and that's and that's also that's also
- 28:45I mean, yeah, that's five or six very competitive people. That's only
- 28:48five or six people, right, like for a larger events that might not
- 28:52hit a hundred, Like sure, but you're you're also talking about like,
- 28:57okay, so not only do we dates and times and YadA YadA and all
- 29:02this, like we need formats Like if it's gonna be alliance, like you
- 29:04need time to get your Alliance deck ready. If it's gonna be this,
- 29:08you need time, or if it's gonna be ar Con, you need time
- 29:11to get your ar Con ready. If it's gonna be sealed, I can
- 29:12just shuffle up and play, right Like, I mean, that's that's just
- 29:15very easy to show up and be like heyn we must stuff, you know,
- 29:19just play. That's a lot easier than if it's all it's gonna be.
- 29:25You know, like look at was it was it Collinsville Collinsville right where
- 29:30we had like four weeks and it was our con event, right, which
- 29:34is already you're like what am I gonna play a single ar con? Okay,
- 29:38I gotta figure out what I'm gonna. I mean, For for some
- 29:41of you who are very gifted in the amount of decks that you have to
- 29:45choose from, it's it's you know, you know, or if you're dare
- 29:52yeah and like you know. But for some of us, I'm gonna have
- 29:56to like ruffle through my collection and now I gotta figure out, like,
- 29:59Okay, well I have good deck, but now it's in French. Am
- 30:02I gonna have to brush up on my Francis my best deck? One of
- 30:06my best decks right now is a French Worlds Collide deck. At least the
- 30:11French language is somewhat decipherable. Like to brother, I took fixed years of
- 30:17Spanish in high school. I can't speak a lick. Yeah, but I
- 30:19think I'm just gonna learn French in four weeks. Where is that Rosetta?
- 30:25This episode brought to you by Rosetta Stone here to recognize what you're looking at,
- 30:30right, like my tie deck where everything looks like scribbles to me,
- 30:33it just doesn't process in any level fair, But like you know, it's
- 30:38it's still a thing to consider because, like I don't want to go and
- 30:42be like, oh yeah, does this say this or does this say that?
- 30:45Does this reap fight or fight play? You know what I mean?
- 30:51Like you don't want to show up like that, and that's you know,
- 30:52that brings the game to a screeching halt when you don't know. Also just
- 30:57a bad play experience for both parties, like you can't read your own cards,
- 31:02and like any time your opponent isn't quite sure what the wording is and
- 31:06you say what it is and it's just optimal for you, they have to
- 31:08call it judge. Well, not only that, not in the new I
- 31:11think on the new rule books, do you have to have English versions and
- 31:15they're allowed to reference the Master Vault at any time? Oh yeah, that
- 31:19is a change we'll talk about. Yeah, we'll talk about that in later
- 31:22three or four major rules effects that will affect competitive play. So we will
- 31:27have a whole episode about that for sure, maybe a Patreon episode as far
- 31:30as the very specific competitive pieces. So but yeah, like overall all right,
- 31:37so let's just ask a question. There's only three of us you walk,
- 31:41how many blots do we have this year? With the with the Arthur
- 31:44news? Now, hold on, are we saying individual vaults. Are we
- 31:52saying like, oh, we're gonna have this and this running simultaneously or whatever
- 31:56like they did at celebrations. I'm calling different locations different locations. Yeah,
- 32:02yes, yes, if it is a travel to duce up there, that
- 32:06is one vault, no matter what happens, even if they have like oh
- 32:08it's sealed and our conten there, that is one thing, just like Gin.
- 32:15That's that's what I wanted to know. So I know you're gonna love
- 32:22this, this tangent. But having done live guys, we turned it around
- 32:25in six weeks. Five weeks, Yeah, getting that venue. Don't we
- 32:31have more people than they do. I did have it. We did have
- 32:37a larger staff, but we were also working for Jos Like this was not
- 32:43our job. I mean that was summer for me. I was definitely putting
- 32:46in like eighty hour weeks there or whatever. There was a considerable amount of
- 32:52time. But that's what worries me most Um, if we don't have if
- 32:59there has to be someone that would be in talks right now that has already
- 33:04gone ahead, and then even if tomorrow they secured a venue, this worries
- 33:13me. I don't I don't want to go ahead and say this Z,
- 33:20but I feel that it's not going to happen. I think that we're looking
- 33:24at twenty four. Okay, I'm I'm in the same boat. I don't
- 33:30think you're having any vaults this year. I went from one to zero.
- 33:36I literally yesterday check to see if I could get my money back from my
- 33:39flight to gin Cons. Like that's where I'm at really, Like, I
- 33:44don't go to gen Con to play board games. Like I love playing board
- 33:46games and I have a very dedicated board game group and I can play any
- 33:50weekend and we have a blast. I don't need to go to CON's to
- 33:53do that. Gen Coon has no draw to me other than the play keyborge,
- 33:58and if I need to, I will wait until, like I think,
- 34:01on May twenty fifth, I could still cancel the hotel thing without getting
- 34:07full charged for it, and then I can get a voucher for my plane
- 34:10tickets, which I can use to go to Hawaii next summer, which already
- 34:14promised my wife we would do. So I have a plan assuming we hear
- 34:19no news by the end, you know, by like May first or whatever.
- 34:22Because if we don't hear anything by May first, Like, I don't
- 34:25even know how they could possibly have enough vaults to then support the world's Well
- 34:30their original plan for vaults, wasn't it all going to happen in like a
- 34:35month or two months? Yeah, but they would have to it have announced
- 34:37them two months before they started. Yeah, that's where the concerns coming in.
- 34:43I mean, not necessarily. I mean we had Colins VELL in four
- 34:45weeks, that's fine. If Lion was only six weeks, so they will
- 34:51catch more grief than they did for Live. And there are still people complaining
- 34:54about I'm sorry, not Live but KFC. And I heard someone complain abou
- 35:00o KFC today in our discord, like talk about still being salty window.
- 35:06Yeah, well we haven't. That wasn't a real op of it. It
- 35:09wasn't a real OOP event. But we do have people who are international who
- 35:13just can't get there. And I understand that's that frustrating. Like this was
- 35:17a US person like they just like it because of the short window. They
- 35:22couldn't get the time off of work and like they were talking, they are
- 35:23a dedicated player just like US um because six weeks is six weeks. If
- 35:29they announced the first real OP event and say it's six weeks later, like
- 35:32they will catch craft for that forever that will never go not think I'll never
- 35:38go away, but so I I mean, there's a player and Keefle are
- 35:46just still salty that his deck didn't get considered to be the winning deck because
- 35:51of the way adapted was back in freaking Barton in Denver. That was two
- 35:55thy nineteen. So with your timeline there, z because because my birthday happens
- 36:02to fall in the first, you're ten days out, we are six business
- 36:07days out. I well, we send to get news on Thursdays and Wednesdays,
- 36:14so maybe next Wednesday Thursday we will get involved announced. But it will
- 36:17be roughly the twenty six, twenty seven and all will be good. Like
- 36:22that is like Christmas time, right Like, I think your biggest problem you're
- 36:27gonna face right now is who's going to do it. So I think it's
- 36:30gonna come down to Gig doing it. I think that you have a chance
- 36:34for it to be run in Minnesota, which I know is going to upset
- 36:37some other individuals because you're talking vaults. I'm not talking vaults. I'm staying
- 36:43you can run a single event at GG Like basically you can run a single
- 36:47event at Roseville. You can go because you have your staff that's there.
- 36:54It is a space that you could go ahead and reserve or be able to
- 36:59secure fairly easily, because being able to secure a location a venue is a
- 37:04problem. Um, I think that you could go ahead and run a sealed
- 37:07event there. I don't know that. I don't know the draw that number
- 37:14one when though, like, okay, so sealed event. If you're gonna
- 37:16do a sealed event, I'm I'm assuming they're gonna want to do Whoa.
- 37:21But that's what I'm saying. It has to come out after it's and then
- 37:23it would have to be out after its release because there was a whole lot
- 37:28of hurt feelings when they're like, we're gonna give Whoa away? And then
- 37:30I'm one hundred percent in agreement. I don't think that's going to happen,
- 37:35but that that I still think is the best option this year. Like what
- 37:40what else do they really haven't I don't know. I'm just saying, like,
- 37:45you can't, you can't give Wow away again. I agree with game
- 37:53you know, well, it's it's it's it's it's an ugly situation to be
- 37:59in. Now. I mean, I don't know what they do. I
- 38:04don't think you see any vaults this year. I think Sheep was right when
- 38:07we're gonna have a one just just a one hundred percent increase in the amount
- 38:10of key for it, sit you're going to be able to play, which
- 38:14will be gen Con and then whatever world's because see, worlds are coming here
- 38:19at that point, doesn't it, Because like, how can you have a
- 38:22world Like if that's what I was saying, If you don't have vaults,
- 38:24you don't have worlds. If you don't have worlds, maybe you don't have
- 38:27nationals. But they probably already booked the space. Well that I mean still
- 38:31becomes a celebration type event for twenty twenty three, and they're still gonna want
- 38:36to do something like but this is all speculation, Like we have no ground
- 38:38pretty of that right, Like, there's no we have that discussion. If
- 38:43we hear that first announcement. Hope, the honest hope truly is before May
- 38:49first we actually hear of the op schedule for the summer, Like, I
- 38:53just don't see logistically how it could come out that there are vaults be announced
- 38:58after that and actually hit any kind of whole time window just between money,
- 39:02just how all that we've we've run the events before, running of him before,
- 39:06we know how much time that crap takes anytime after that. It's just
- 39:09the numbers just don't work because because when you say Gege's gonna run it,
- 39:14I'm like, but who I gotta imagine everyone is? I mean, what
- 39:19do they have? How many? How many? What are they? We
- 39:21count five employees last time we count it. Fire up Jeremy the nomad.
- 39:25Get him in like a truck with all the gear. He's just drive from
- 39:28city to city. He just living in this weird white van all the ope.
- 39:32Next time I'm driving across the country. But like trackers on Google Maps,
- 39:38where Jeremy's at right now? That'll be fun. That'll be fun right
- 39:43there? Track them located Dak. Where's Ope gonna be this week? I
- 39:49don't know where's Jeremy at? Oh? Look did Chicago? I know I
- 39:53know, Wookie that you said finding a deck. I do think with the
- 39:58hiatus and all this time off, I do think that most people could go
- 40:01ahead and grab a deck fairly quickly and be able to show up for our
- 40:06kind. I have a lot more faith than that. I just don't know
- 40:09who's running it, and I don't know where an event would be. Well,
- 40:13I'm gonna I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not gonna lie to
- 40:15you if you came to me and said there was an ARCon event let's just
- 40:20say in Illinois, which is basically our backyard. I don't know if I
- 40:24go. I'm not gonna lie to you. I don't know if I go.
- 40:29And why is that? Because I can't compete in our con? So
- 40:34You're asking me to spend a lot of time, money, and effort to
- 40:37go to an event to keep my teeth kicked in. I'm sorry that,
- 40:42as much as I love key Forge, doesn't sound like a ton of fun
- 40:45to me. If it's sealed, I go because I always have a shot
- 40:50and sealed right, Any given Sunday and sealed, that's the sealed is literally
- 40:54that any given Sunday, anybody can do well at any time. You can
- 40:59pull that good and you can do that thing. Um So what I'm going
- 41:02to show up with my eighty three sas deck and just get completely outclassed.
- 41:07So I'm going to spend money, spend money to just get completely outclassed.
- 41:15I don't know if that's the best use of my money, you know what
- 41:21I mean, hang out with me. I get to hang out with you,
- 41:23and I would love to, but I at that point i'd be like,
- 41:29Hey, let's meet at the local Chicago bar. Well maybe not the
- 41:31bar, Maybe you and I go to Denny's. I don't know. But
- 41:36yet my point like I can meet you down there. But like, I
- 41:39mean, you're talking money for a hotel, money for to get forty fifty
- 41:45bucks to enter the event, right I mean, I'm sure they're gonna want
- 41:49some sort of fee for me to play play their game. You know,
- 41:54I don't. I don't think you're getting in under a hundred right now.
- 41:58I think one hundred is where i'd be seeing, like just because if you
- 42:01think about the sealed events or the different events, like even what we had
- 42:06charged for live and we tried to make it reasonable, I think that a
- 42:10hundred is what you're looking at. Fort entry fee, entry fee, to
- 42:15bring my own deck? Are you being serious with me? Usual, I'm
- 42:24not paying one hundred dollars to bring my own stuff. There better be there
- 42:29better be a sack lunche provided at that po I'm saying, if you're looking
- 42:32at for a longer period of time. I don't know. I think that
- 42:37Okay, if you had played live and we're giving you your three decks plus
- 42:39an archon, I think that is what I want to my entry fee for,
- 42:45like the big like the package that was the set of events which I
- 42:49was bringing my own stuff for, it was one hundred dollars, like I
- 42:52think, like, yeah, but you're also talking about you are getting things
- 42:57at FAB that you could then sell online to you know, at least recoup
- 43:01some of that cost. You're not getting one LSS actually factored that into their
- 43:07pricing level. No, probably not, but like pricing times in your brain
- 43:12like remember like my soda costs double what it used to. Okay, fine,
- 43:16but even then you go to anything, any event anywhere, for a
- 43:20major year event and pay under like a hundred dollars. Now, question for
- 43:25you, did you get sealed stuff at FAB for the hundred dollars? I
- 43:30think you probably open but eight eight dollars and packed worth like one deck equivalent.
- 43:37Yeah, but a draft event yeah, like one of them was a
- 43:43draft which was three packs. That's eight bucks. Three packs is more than
- 43:47eight bucks or twelve whatever. It's not much one deck work. I'm sorry,
- 43:54I'm just I cannot pay one hundred dollars. Like Wookie, you know
- 44:00decks are going to cost thirteen dollars. I understand that. Yes, I
- 44:04know decks are gonna cost thirteen dollars. Thank you, No, I remember
- 44:07that. But like again, I'm not. I know your ears to buying
- 44:12them for one now, like wow, this is true. But still that's
- 44:19that. That is a lot for a game that just asked me to,
- 44:23you know, basically fund whatever it is that they just had something come out
- 44:28for. I think the funding from game found is a separate entity versus that's.
- 44:34That's fine, that and that is perfectly fine. But I'm sorry,
- 44:37I'm not, I mean, not actually underpriced the thirteen product. Like we
- 44:40talked about the well right, it was you were basically buying discounted decks.
- 44:45Yes, but I hate to say, I don't know if fab is one
- 44:50hundred dollars or not. I'd have to look into it. But it was
- 44:52what I went. I went to two callings, both of them were one
- 44:57hundred dollars. It paid for the events that I wanted to and then I
- 45:00bought another package to pay in playing more sealed type events. Which I did
- 45:06very well in, which is where I actually so, I actually want all
- 45:08of the stuff that I sold for money, basically on the non premier part
- 45:13of the event. As far as all that goes, I don't know.
- 45:19You're talking about FABS a much larger game too, So where does supply and
- 45:22demand I guess reach on that. I don't know. Well, larger at
- 45:29the time or large, still larger. It was larger than it's it's still
- 45:35larger today. So you think that it was larger early on, Noah,
- 45:40when z was playing what was that about a year ago? Now? Yeah,
- 45:46yeah, it was. It was a larger game than KeyForge. I'm
- 45:51comparing it to KeyForge, not itself like FAB that is a larger game than
- 45:54KeyForge. No, and I know this is one of the topics that i'd
- 45:58propose of. Honestly, I'll be on a percent us and it'll be booted
- 46:01off. This this cast very very quickly, but with two girls and a
- 46:07wife who is interested, I have invested more time. As we're waiting and
- 46:10kind of me dropping out. Um, I will be at gen Con,
- 46:15and I will be there, not necessarily for board games, but I'm gonna
- 46:17go ahead and play some board games. I have a friend who's into minis,
- 46:22but I'm also going to be picking up some more Kana, and I've
- 46:23invested a lot more. I've actually listened to more Larkhana with the excitements and
- 46:29their rules sets and their OP and that is where I'd like to be able
- 46:34to in the future, be able to have an honest chat about what some
- 46:37other games they're doing, from FAB to l What is Larkana doing right now?
- 46:42I don't I know, we know what Fab's doing. I have no
- 46:44I did not hear anything about Larkana's OP structure. Yeah, there, that's
- 46:49a whole nother side conversation that we'll go down um for longer than five minutes.
- 46:54Okay, and I have that, But maybe that's a Patreon shouldn't dig
- 46:59two because again I did not see anything at all. Well, and you
- 47:02said, now right, like hold up, Paul's actually got a real number.
- 47:07Congratulations, audience, you get a number. February ninth, twenty twenty
- 47:10three. The calling there in somewhere Indianapolis, which is just a calling,
- 47:16which isn't there like worlds or nationals or whatever. It was four hundred and
- 47:21eighty one players, right, and similar Couble the biggest we ever got.
- 47:28I got gin Con. So like, FAB is still bigger, even though
- 47:31like people talk about FAB being like in its decline, it is still bigger
- 47:36right now than Keyboards ever was by a lot. Yeah, I guess I
- 47:40didn't realize it was that large. That's interesting. When I went to the
- 47:44calling I went to, there were six hundred players there, like so yeah,
- 47:50it's declined from six hundred a year ago to four hundred and eighty one.
- 47:53It was like that niche market which is the same people like I saw
- 47:58a lot of the same freaking people police like you Bord when I went like,
- 48:01that is our market. It is doing much better at securing players than
- 48:07our market ever did well. And you're talking about a company that has put
- 48:13a lot of money into making sure their product is And I was recently listening
- 48:19to a FAB thing. I don't know if it's a podcast or if it
- 48:22was just a random YouTube video. But upon their estimation, and this is
- 48:28again this is probably about six months ago now, upon fab estimation, this
- 48:36is the ls They're only in thirty three percent of game stores across America.
- 48:43Yeah, I believe it. There are there are places I've seen that don't
- 48:45run at all, and then there's places that still run it all the time.
- 48:50You are talking about stunt over a magic Now you can go to you
- 48:54can go to most game stores and they have a FAB night and people show
- 49:01up, right, because it's consistent there a lot, like there's a bunch
- 49:07of stores that have that game night, so it's like six different stores that
- 49:12have eight people, whereas like you might be lucky if your whole damn city
- 49:15has any store that fires keyboarder, right. And and the biggest thing I'm
- 49:21saying to that is it comes down to again, I think it really honestly
- 49:25comes down to the prising. Like a lot of the stuff they're giving away,
- 49:31it's just LSS is very interactive with the stores and the vendors as far
- 49:38as what the players want to see in the kits that they offer, and
- 49:44basically everything in those kits sells real money. Like when I quit FAB,
- 49:51we quit at like a zero sum and we still actually have enough to go
- 49:54be competitive, So like we technically made money playing that game, Like like
- 50:00my basically my brother and me, like we made enough money to pay for
- 50:05our travel fees every single card we bought, and we came out at like
- 50:08a zero sum, no cost to us, and we still have the cards
- 50:13to play the game if we wanted to go continue doing that. But in
- 50:15the end, it's actually a really boring easy game, so I would never
- 50:20go back to it. Like, it's much much more simple than KeyForge,
- 50:24and like I can, like people get pissed off and I tell them who's
- 50:28gonna win the game and keyboard after like turn five, Like imagine doing that
- 50:31unturned two. That's what FAB is. It's much more mathematical. If you
- 50:37understand their deck completely and your deck completely, you will know who's going to
- 50:42it really really soon. FAB is a very much a matchup game, much
- 50:45much like KeyForge. Just you know, all all your old Hymn decks are
- 50:51the same, all of your x that you know, name name another hero
- 50:57deck, you know whatever Dracai now is, it's the same. Jab.
- 51:00I don't need a deck list. I know it's in their deck, right.
- 51:02Oh, that's what you have, that's your gear. This is what
- 51:06your cards are. If you don't have these cards, good for me,
- 51:08because that means it probably sucks. Right. So it's a much different story.
- 51:15But I mean, op is one of those things that is going I
- 51:17mean again, we don't We've talked about we don't understand. We don't know
- 51:22what market they're after and what they're going for, and it's the tale of
- 51:28two different stories. I really feel like there's this there's this feel that they
- 51:32don't want to go after the high end competitive player and they want to do
- 51:37more of a casual thing. But then they're like, hey, we're going
- 51:42to do cash prizing for competitive stuff, and it's like, well, what
- 51:47lane are you in, Like, are you in the competitive lane where you
- 51:52want to become more competitive and competitive play is something that you are looking at
- 51:57or are you aiming yourself more towards the casuals Because I feel like at some
- 52:00point in time they're gonna have to pick a lane, and it just like
- 52:06seems like they don't, they have no interest in doing that. Whatsoever?
- 52:08Is that me or does do you all feel the same? I mean,
- 52:15I know what I hoped when they announced what they announced at KFCUM. I
- 52:22unlike what was said in one of our chat one day, which was basically,
- 52:25you shouldn't believe anything that like CEOs ever say, which is one don't
- 52:29believe anything from the head of the company ever says, don't Like I mean,
- 52:32I am cynicals sometimes, but like I am not that way. I
- 52:37do believe that like Gig had a plan for it, and like everything can
- 52:45go to shit sometimes and that's actually okay, that that is real life.
- 52:50We all experienced COVID, we all know very well things can go to crap
- 52:54uncontrollably. But if that's the case, like I said earlier, like just
- 52:59tell and say, hey, this sucked. This is what's going on.
- 53:04We're going to have some fun with what the events we already had schedule.
- 53:07We're gonna throw some fun events out there just to have fun this year,
- 53:09and we're gonna do ope for real next year, and like hopefully we give
- 53:12you all something fun to come to and enjoy kind of like KFC the rest
- 53:16of the year. I would be perfectly fine with that. Just let us
- 53:21know now, like right now tomorrow, I don't know if i'd be fine
- 53:27with that. I get worry, I get what you're saying. I just
- 53:31at some point, I wonder, like, you know, at what point
- 53:35does the rubber hit the road, At what point do people start to go,
- 53:38you know what, enough, I've had enough and we're talking, we've
- 53:44already had those people, like there's so many people who have laughed, it
- 53:46just continues. Wiki. That's a problem because when the more people, I
- 53:52mean, you're losing people that you kind of just figured. And I don't
- 53:58remember if it was Sheep or Zee who said it, like, oh,
- 54:00you're degenerates. He'll be back, You're going to be back any day now.
- 54:04And I said that Dan and me are just stupid. We're fanatics are
- 54:07the word. And I do to be here playing keyboards until the very very
- 54:13ended, maybe even after as like after like, but that's because I actually
- 54:17love, like I this is the first game, Like I actually enjoy the
- 54:22way the mechanics are, enjoy the I do enjoy that very and swingy thing
- 54:25and like that. It's that that wild beast that I know can't actually be
- 54:30tamed, but I'm gonna hunt for it a way to get better and better
- 54:34and better. Knowing that there's no perfect in this game. Knowing that I
- 54:37can walk into a game like I did this week and have a clear advantage
- 54:40at that point in the game where it's like turn ten and still my opponent
- 54:45found a way to win, Like that is exciting to me and makes it
- 54:47way more complex than other games. Um and their deck can be something you've
- 54:54never seen before. There's still stuff I've played way more games and kep so
- 55:00that I probably should have that. I'll watch a game, I'll play a
- 55:01game and I see something happens like I've literally never seen that interaction happened.
- 55:06That is amazing, Like no other game can give me that me that aspect
- 55:10that I'm aware of, So I'm going to keep playing. This leads in
- 55:17the topic that I already had it in the chat, but we can we
- 55:22can go through that a different day. I don't want to horse. We've
- 55:25got fun. We have some fun rules up to talk to whether it ends
- 55:30up being an ACE episode or our next cast. Well, you know what,
- 55:34I think it's going to be our next cast because we are already at
- 55:37fifty five minutes, so we can do another episode. We can probably you
- 55:42know what, I'm off all weekend? Boys, I have a weekend off.
- 55:44What do you say about that? I am actually available? Saving Jay?
- 55:47Are what you're doing this weekend? I'm at a soccer tournament. All
- 55:52right? Never mind, you have fun to their soccer tournament. I think
- 55:57you have a soccer tournament dance capic. I don't know, try scores doing
- 56:00I am. I am actually like I was like, holy crap, I
- 56:02got a weekend. It got done, and it's actually looking like I'm gonna
- 56:07get this weekend off. I'm actually pretty excited because I haven't had a weekend
- 56:09off in two actually, besides Kansas City and and celebration, like just having
- 56:21a weekend off at home with the family, I have not had in a
- 56:23long time. So I'm excited for that. I think that with hopefully there's
- 56:30news and hopefully it goes ahead and changes. If not, we can go
- 56:32ahead and easily talk about rules. There's so much information that came out.
- 56:37We're gonna go the rules. Don't worry. There's plenty of time I think
- 56:40what we need to do, especially because I don't I don't know how other
- 56:44podcasts have done it. But there's a lot of like quote unquote new rules
- 56:47that I don't know where our new rules or just like more clarifications of things
- 56:52we already knew. Yeah, a lot of the red text is just stuff
- 56:54that got moved from the ratas and into the rule up into the rule book
- 57:00itself. We will go over on our cast all the stuff that is actually
- 57:05due, and I will put that in the sheet. I think I know
- 57:08what is actually due. Um. But then there's some actually more competitive stuff
- 57:13we can focus on. I'm not sure what Jerry is saying to us,
- 57:21but okay, I mean to wrap it up. Time to wrap it up,
- 57:24So guys, you got anything before we get out of here? Only
- 57:29a couple more weeks until May. So the end of May, boys,
- 57:34it is. It is fast approaching, and it's gonna be May. I
