  Speaker 3: I mean, like during the dinner, we probably got a
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: light preview of what got covered in the Meet the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Ghosts and the the other one to Meet the Ghosts
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and the keynote. There was nothing, nothing too exciting or new.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I mean Peterson talked a little bit about the board game.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Arena thing there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That implication was nice.

  Speaker 2: was the scavenge Party of the year, right, Yes, well
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: there is only one a year, but yes, yes, that's
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And of course, as always, City put

  Speaker 3: was the last person to get a drink too.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: A lot of faces that weren't there this year. One
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: comes to mind. That's also a vault where that's Aviator.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Aviator did not come. Random Joe didn't come this year. Yeah,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: those are two I can think of, because there are
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the two people I sat next to last year, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: neither were here. So I upset them so greatly they
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: didn't even come back.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I mean, doctor, I understand one hundred percent, so I keep.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Coming back though. But if you weren't on the rookies team,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you were a bunch of losers because the rookies team
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: took everything.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Although they did let you fall in a hole.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say we didn't continue the tradition of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: somebody gets injured at the Scrubs revenge party. This year.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It was me, Wow, this is disappointing. Yeah, you aren't
• 8:17

• 8:41
  Speaker 2: it's big. It's still I don't know when I rhyme
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: when I arrived a little late, right, yeah, got off
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: my plane, I said, take me straight to Wirlely Ball,
• 8:52

  Speaker 2: about me getting out of my car. But she's the
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: one who asked me to get out of the car
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to get the ball, which is depending during the game
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that got that happened. That happened one time, and you remember, no,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: it only happened one time, And the other two times
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: were because she didn't have any more balls and somebody
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: had to go get the ball, and I volunteered. Now

• 12:26
  Speaker 3: a random uh card value and suit from.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: A deck of cards. Correct, And I don't believe it
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: was random at all. Well, two people weren't random yes, yes,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: but they also made e Walk an ace.
• 12:46

  Speaker 2: list that don't know it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: And poker or it could have just been or it

  Speaker 5: could have just been random.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Any two cards are good and poker, right ah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Now, this is far more fun if it's not random
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: and drass cards on the ship list.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh yeah, well, you know, things happen. I love

• 14:09
  Speaker 2: at the bright hour of four thirty.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I did not open that bottle of champagne. I drank
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Kyle's beer.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I definitely opened champagne. Sydney open Champagne
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: on the way out. I made us chokest the bottle
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: of champagne on the way back to.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: The Vault Warrior dinner with all the Vault Warriors.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Let me say, somebody is somebody opening champagne? I didn't
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: know who it was. And then uh, yeah, Drascar, you
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: were on the you were on the ride back with me,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: weren't you when we did the sing along? Hell, yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: yeah we're Yeah, we had a little what were you singing?
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Whatever was on the playlist? All right, Yeah, that's a
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: win for looking It was wretched. Yeah, no, it was
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: the greatest playlist ever. You don't even like music?
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is correct. That's why it was.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Richard, What did you sing I'm just a girl from
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: no doubt? No I didn't. I was not on the pan.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I would have been a good choice. I would have
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: been awesome.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Now that we covered the non key forgeduff, you want
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to move key forge?
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to move into Thursday? Is that you're
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: saying a lot of TV. That's what this weekend was
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a lot of TV.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: A lot of again later a lot of ridiculous amount
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: of turns being messed up because that card was forgot
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: to be triggered.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of HPV happened. We had the l c Q,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: which how many people got in from the l c Q,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like that number was very low this year.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: It was only like seven total seats five Alliance to
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: see Field and that's right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: There was zero ARCon slots. So it was the last
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: chance qualifier zero offered.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we so I think last year they
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: had more seats, right than I think it was the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: same amount of seats they just because of the second
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: because they got down.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: They they had seats for every format last year and
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: they got to.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Like right, but remember there were less invites player, right,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: but they got only first place in Vault Warriors got
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: invites last year. This year first and second both got invites,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: so there was well.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they actually over like there were more invites handed
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: out than actual slots at World's for That was true
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: last year too, Yeah, except the people didn't show up.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: You got to have a play in any case they
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: actually show up, and they do have a plan. If
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: they show up, they expand the bracket or don't.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: So so here here's Here's where then it gets tricky
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: because Josh came in and said made an announcement that
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: they would go ahead and have additional slots because they
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: had overbooked, and that would be two, and then promptly
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: when I had and reverted back to Nope, that's not
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: really what I meant.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, No, he did not. He said maybe two, maybe two, yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: and what what was trying to any It would be
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: maybe two to round out the numbers. And then they
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: found that they had everybody, so they didn't give away
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: any Yeah.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: So what ends up what was shown online and what
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: was reported beforehand, is that if they have an odd number,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: you would add in a person so that it would
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: become an even amount.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I think that's the right call.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: But as soon as you say too, you can't go
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: back and reduce it to one or zero. And whether
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: you see it or not, they're multiple vials that happen.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: They just did it, and that's the problem. But as
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: a last chance qualifier, you have to have if someone
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: came there and they wanted just to play arkon and
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: they didn't even have a chance at that for Worlds
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: that's a miss, and that's an easy fix to just
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: put you're already past your amount, put plus two people.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: If it's an even amount, put plus one. If it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: an odd or plus or plus.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: It was a big deal.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: Again, it's one of those things that's small. But those
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: little ticki tac decisions just aren't necessary. We had a
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: great event overall, but there's no reason if the number
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: is already beyond twenty four. The difference of twenty six
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: or twenty eight matters very little.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: But when you say something, it has an impact on
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the community to hear your word. Okay, I heard him
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: say maybe two if any, and that's neither. That's neither
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: heighten nor hair. How I went into and I went
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: back to the hotel. My decks were pooh, malicious, bad bad.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: So here's here's a Here were my options, right? I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: opened one deck with shadows redemption or untamed. And then
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: I opened another deck and that had Saurian redemption untamed.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: And then I opened another deck and it had logos
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: redemption and untamed. So what do you think I did
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Loyo's redemption on tame. Yeah, I took all. I took
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: one house from each one and did locals redemption on tape,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: which also were poopy houses. None of the houses were good.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I lived that life, but I lived that life on
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the second day.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, no you didn't. Your deck was significant. Oh
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: you mean in worlds? Yeah, because I did not have
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: any of the cards you want to have in logo
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: in well, okay, I had. I had. I had triple
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: parallel thinkings. That was my big logos ability. And then
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't have any of the things. No, I didn't
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: have any of the story and cards you want to see, right.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I think I had sentimentary nap and that was probably
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: about it. I had that dumb one who comes on
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: your opponent's side of the field, YadA YadA. And then
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I did not have any of the good steal, not
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: even a bandit culver in my in my shadows. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I went on to pretty good culver, very good. M hmm.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: We'll hear more about that later, Yeah, yeah we will.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I don't dress. How do you do? Uh? So I
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I did? Okay, Uh, I don't. I don't know if
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I won three games or four games, I don't remember,
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: but I had I actually had like a fun deck.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I had like a janky weird deck, which you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I kind of like I had a so my my
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: shadows pod was a double rigged lottery, double Miasma, and
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: then I had untamed with a bunch of cycling like
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the invigorating showers and whatnot, and I think some some
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: diss just to disrupt and slow down my opponent. Right,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: So my my wackado game plan with this weird deck
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: was too you know, Mike some member, because actually it
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: could make Ember decently well. And then uh, set up
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: the shadows with the invigorating shower. Then try to double
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: rigged lottery and for six each time they're as close
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: to you as you can get. Uh, and then and
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: use the miasmas because probably your opponent's playing shadows, so
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you have to use the miasmas. So uh So that
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: worked a couple of times. I lost, though, because player
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Herb played his in furnace at the absolute perfect moment
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to I played both miasthmas, and the next turn I was
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: gonna go on tamed to shuffle all back in and
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I probably should have held one of them, is really
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: what I should have done, but I got greedy and
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: he purged both of them. And then you know that
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: was basically basically my game plan was over, so I bursted,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: but I also gave him a bunch of ember and lost.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: So but that was a fun day, even though I
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: didn't win. I was it was fun to play. But
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: then I definitely needed to go take a nap because
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I was hurting a little bit from the night before.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: That nap refreshed me at helped nice.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I can go ahead and say I actually opened decks
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: that realistically in the Last Chance qualifier, my deck looked
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: better than where my sealed deck showed up later and
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: it did not come together. I went one and two,
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: So it was it was very odd, I think for
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: the first time ever looking at Doka afterwards, the actual
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: decks in the pods themselves, I chose almost the poorest
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: of my pods. And I still disagree about this. I mean,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: Loka Gar and I talked about this on the ride back.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Just the idea of the decks did not perform as
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: well as we thought that they would, and so that
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: was interesting. Out of the three decks that I had,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I had a seventy two SaaS, ninety three SaaS and
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: one hundred SaaS and I ended up choosing two of
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: the decks from the seventy two, so that was interesting.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: I did have options. I ended up with Shadows, sorry
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: and diss. The Shadows pod had two shadows pods, and
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: it's interesting what was actually different between them. So one
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: had a thunk Porterscilla versus a moon cursor, burnished nickels,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: chummy Bannit culver, and then it was gone pear shaped
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: or hoodwink brutal consequences or borrow, and so I went
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: with the hoodwink. I think that out of that matchup,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: I think they're very very like comparable. One was sasas
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: at thirty one versus thirty three, and that house could
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: do something, but basically once you'd blown the hoodwink or
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: you'd pushed through, your pretty well done. I also didn't
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: want to have a lot of the little guys between
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the thungs, the urchin, the fall guys.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I just didn't want to have a lot of little
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: shadows creatures.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: Out the one hundred SaaS deck had a twenty nine
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: SaaS Redemption Pod, and just I really struggle with that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: It has double edgimagus and it was something that you
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: would look at.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason you look at a Redemption pod
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: of I.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Know, but look at what else is here, like double Salve,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Eh could care less, Piccaroon, Girlands, even Ivan, Dark Centurion,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Citizen Shricks. Fine, then you have the mist they gained
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: the mutant trait, but what can I do with it?
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Nothing?
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: I have Namel's confession and then dark influence. Like I
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: just that pod does not scream out twenty nine to me,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: it is. It seems very overrated and n sealed. Yeah,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: if I could get a board, sure, but there's there's
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: very little unplay here, and so you need that board
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: to stick. You have the Citizen Shricks, you get agimages
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: that can go ahead and gain the amber with what's there.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: But I think if you see Adeamagus and you're pulling
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: against redemption, you just kill it and say what else
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: do you have in this house? So Eh, I don't know.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: The two Sarian pods were pretty close together. I went
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: with a too low and Imperial Scudum versus Pumpetous like,
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: I don't know they were. The pods were very very similar.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: The one house that I can go ahead and be
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: very very honest and open about is that my disc pods.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Like you're lying about the other houses.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: No, I I think that the Sorry, I think the
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: I think the shadows and sorry, and I'm fine sticking
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: with the disc Pod.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: My third, I don't know if I can believe you now, Ah,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you know what's happened at my work. I don't know
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: if this has happened to your guys places, Like there's
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: this thing now where like everybody like prefaces these statements
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: with like well to be candid, Like oh my goodness,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Like it's like, I don't it's like what you're gonna
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: say something like, well, to be candid, So to be candid?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: What not? Just your work to be candid.
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: The disc House has some some nice items, a gift
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: of Amber, Creeping Oblivion, Infinity, Strop, Poltergeist. But it's got
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: both Solock and Atrocity, and I do think that there
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: they're traps to be able to look at double Blood,
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: chart imp, Carrion Worm, double Chasm, investment in Dark Minion.
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: You look and you go, okay. Atrocity can definitely pull,
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: and Solock can do something. There's a lot of r
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: that's in sets, so maybe Solac holds a little bit less.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Value, but I still went with it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: You had some sad, sad, sad moments when you're sitting
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: with blood chart imps, but you have some removal and
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: you have some control. Ironically, I ended up in a
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: soul lock on soul lock game one, and.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: That was probably the close game your kindred souls. You
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: locked each other, We locked each other.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Actually in game one, I will say I had there
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: was an anomaly dragon that was in my opponent's deck
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: that was house enhanced, and that's really what you want
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: to soul lock. And my problem was I had nothing
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: on board and nothing in hand that was diss so
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: I had to take a turn to just soul lock,
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: but it would have locked him out of two houses.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: And I said, I will wait a turn and I
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: will get one card. And then I did that again,
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: and for four turns I never got anything, and then
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: it was way too late.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: So don't don't go how to make that move.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Just decide right away to take a bad turn to
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: lock them out of two probably the difference in that game, actually,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: but it was a very very close game, and I enjoyed.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: That it happens. De Portu makes decisions. Man.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: When when y'all started talking, I couldn't remember what houses
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: I had, But then it came to me.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: One of my houses must have been Sanctum because it
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: had Trunk's Creed and Abbad the Graham and a benevolent charity.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: And no greedy reprisal. That's all I remember.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: And then I know I had a Star Alliance because
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: I had a cosmic recompense, so I had two of
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: the most broken cards in the game. My first game,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I started with some totally mediocre discs and I lost.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: So then I shuffled in my not great Sorrian pod
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: with like triple governor give the six power guy that
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: when he fights, he plays the top creature of the discard. Yes,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and that switched all my fortunes because then I won
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: my next five games in a row, finished five to
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: one in like as the worst. I was the worst
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: X one player because I lost in the first round,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: but that was good enough to get me the last
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: seat in Alliance Worlds, and I made a mortal enemy
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: of shadow Meld because he really wanted that seat and
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: he was one position behind me in the qualifiers, so
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: he watches me, a guy who does nothing but talk
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: trash about.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Alliance take his Alliance seat. He had an Alliance brewed.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: It's the only reason he comes to KFC used to
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: play Alliance and then some jack wanting Alliance.
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: Well, he could almost auto make top eight with the
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: Alliance open, so he's fine, thank you. That's what he
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: needed to say to you, thank you.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Well then then I was like, I told him, well,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I think what I'm gonna do with this seat is
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: just play fraud to put the accolade on it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're definitely creating mortal enemies.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah well, I mean, yeah, I didn't do that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I almost did. But anyway, there was my lt Q.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: I got two of the broken cards. I did broken
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: things with them. He broke, I got an Alliance seat.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Isn't that what happens? Sheep breaks people? Not this year.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: You got broken. He didn't break me, questionable.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: I'm breaking hearts and minds everywhere I go.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: All right, we're moving to the keynote. We're our Glorious
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Leader c TP.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: This is why I'm going to bed because I damn
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: near fell asleep during the keynote.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you left.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: I walked out during to meet the ghosts that started.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: I said I don't need to be here, and I left.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I watched sheep. I was like, oh, okay, some
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: notable mentions. Pvs sold out of the warehouse. It's not
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: necessarily at distributors, certainly not at so cheap. For the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: rest of the next day, decided to tell everybody to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: go buy as much TV as they could on their
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: game found while there was still time just to I think.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: There's still oh no, the game phone closed now.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's closed now, So like do you think you
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: think CTP walked out of his office, walked down the hallway,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and it was like, hey, game center person, owner not owner,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: manager person, you should buy the rest of PV. So
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I could go say that it's sold out, but.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: It's not sold out. You could still buy it on
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: the GG.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Website, the not the game center of the GG website. Yes,
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: that's hilarious. Well, I'm logging in now to ste if
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: that's still true. All right. While you do that, we
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: are looking at a March April draconian or poopy dragons
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Draconian measures release.
• 34:00

• 34:05
  Speaker 2: No, we don't know, And and then we get kind
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: of the overview of what's going to happen for the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: next year, which is a lot of what you've seen
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: last year twenty twenty six. During January February, we'll have
• 34:19

• 36:09
  Speaker 5: we do have some friends following along. So you can
• 36:11

  Speaker 2: Yeah, the time, yes, the time. And then the big reveal,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: we got the certain darkness reveal the two houses that
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: were purged our Logos and Sanctum.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: Can I just say I'd called that there was going
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: to be more than one house, thank you?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no problem. Did you think it was going to
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: be logos due to story or did you think they
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: were just going to take the top two.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: I just thought they would take the top two, but
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: they took it from story and as the overpowered house,
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: I can see why they did it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: H Logos. And then everybody hates Sanctum, so they got purged. Yeah,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the Sanctum or redemption more.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Now this is where this is where Sheep really needs
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: to come in, because Sheep really is all about the
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: conspiracy theories.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Oh he's one hundred percent correct. The conspiracy theory is
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: that this the whole Sanctum like logos was kind of
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I guess always going gonna get it right because they're
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: the ones who found it, so they're they're the ones
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: that were going to get it, So that was always
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: a thing. But supposedly the second house, which is Sanctum,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: which was chosen by the community for the most perched cards,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: and Sheep's just like, that's a porshit. It's definitely shadows
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: and he was told no, no, And Shep's like, I
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: don't know if he was going to go find evidence
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: or what his game plan was, but she'd been convinced
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: that it was not Sanctum. But again, we didn't have
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: a Dapapa track in it this year, so we really
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: don't know, you know, nobody was importing it, so we.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: Can I say, yeah, can I say though, I really
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: think that this would be a great tool for next
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: year's storyline event one to actually put the storyline event longer,
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: because why not let people play and enjoy it, but
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: have kind of that little update kind of from the battlefield.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: It was it was cool to see to pop up
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: putting it together and like, oh, the rebels are winning. Oh,
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: now the elders are winning. Like you can go ahead
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: and see that kind of back and forth. So it
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: would have been fun to see, oh, look, house logos
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: is jumping up. Oh shadows, look at redemption and so
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: you have like that can actually start to persuade people
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: to be purging more of those houses. I just think
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: it's a great aspect to bring into the community is
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: to have that storyline event, but just make it visible.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: And so a little chart that gets updated, whether that's
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: once a week, probably once a week I think would
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: be a reasonable amounts. It'd be cool something to check
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: in get people to come back to the same website.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: So keep Fortune dot com. But that'd be my recommendation.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like order more kids so that you can save
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: or but that's what that's what we want, right, that's
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: a win for Gigi. Buy more kids two okay, and
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: then there's transparency, then there can't be any conspiracy theory
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: because it's easier enough to see. Now, I will say
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: near the end, I think that you know, a week
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: before keyboard celebration or maybe two weeks whatever the end
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: period is glitch it goes offline, all right, go to
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: KFC in order to see the final results, and so
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: you just have the final tally, but you can definitely
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: see guess what, Mars was not in danger because they
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: never were on that board or near the top three,
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: and so you can just see it's a it's down
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: to the last couple of houses and then there's a
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: lot more.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: Well, Mars was never in danger because I think most
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: people are doing prophetic visions, which Mars is not a
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: part of I understand.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: But you know what I'm trying to say. It's the
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: idea of here's the TI three houses or four houses
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: that are in the running, versus where where did Sanctum
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: come from? Because yes, Sanctum was talked about, but it
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: wasn't one of the major It wasn't one of the
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: major houses that I'd been hearing or seeing online.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: We purged sank them. Yeah, but like you saw a
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: lot more shadows being purged, and he did Sanctum. I
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: saw a lot more star Allians too. We burned star
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Allians once. I was like, what's wrong with the monsters?
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Starllions and shadows were purged consistently, also Redemption. I'm not
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: saying that other houses weren't perched, they just seem to
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: be purged at less of a rate and without anyone
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: tracking it. It would be great to be able to
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: see a track somewhere I did.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: So what was super weird about it is like, if
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: you know, Jeremy has just been up the stage, been like, yeah,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: we'll publish the numbers, everybody be like probably like okay,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: but there was so cagey about well, I don't know
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: if we could do that. It's like, what are you
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: guys cooking the book? Is that what's going on?
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: That's definitely how it came across. So like super weird,
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: But okay, drazz from a computer site, how difficult would
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: it be that if I have as a t O,
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: if I'm inputting what house was purged and how many cards,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: how difficult would that be to have that input into
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: a graph that then is scrolling or updated.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: That's very difficult. Yeah, that's pretty easy. I'm just which
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: is a thing you could definitely vibe code that in
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like a day, you can vibe code that. I can
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: vibe code that before I'm know what the podcast.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: I felt that it was easier, but I don't have
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: any ability, so it would take me years to do,
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: so I leave it for others who are a lot
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: more capable.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: The Uh, yeah, it was. It was really weird. Maybe
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: they didn't they just dumped it to like a file
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: and somebody had to annually go into alliot because you
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: know they like to do manual work there instead of
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: having easy buttons. I don't know, but yeah, it was
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: definitely weird, like definitely felt like a missed opportunity to
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: like get people excited about the event going on, which.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: Is why I put it up as an idea for
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: next year if we want to make it better again. Overall,
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: still a great event, but yes, there's a couple of things.
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: There's a couple of things we could make better.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: All right, moving, I like we're moving to Meet the Ghosts.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: So Meet the Ghostes was an event that happens every
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: year where the ghosts get up on stage and we
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: get to ask them questions and they get to not
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: answer ready. So one question about was fol foil was
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: just the foil or borderless cards just being able to
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: be slotted in, like to pimp your deck. Is that
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: what you're going for? Yeah? Yeah, So you know, like
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: every year, one of the questions on can we slot
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: and foil cards because people will like that? And they
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: were like, no, this game, you can't do that, and
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: people like, but we sleave our decks and they're like,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: it's impossible. And then then CTP took the mic and
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: he was like, well, maybe someday, that's not all. That's
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: not at all what happened. Curley just flat out said no. Right,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Hurley said no because of all the because there's pips
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: on cards and that would just be too difficult.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I hear on the I hear on the pips. I
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: think the best response that was given to me, not
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: from a GG staff, but this was just another keyboards player,
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: was we have the ability to print a full deck.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: So if they have ability to print a full deck
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: versus just a card, I get it, and that that
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: is an option. But I'm telling you for all of
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: us who are playing competitive and it has to be sleeved.
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: If they're a card that matches with an amber, like
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: if it has an amber on it and it doesn't
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: have any other enhancement. Swapping it out is perfectly fine.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: If it has an enhancement, Okay, you can't swap that
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: out in the turn in the deck that you're playing. Great,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: we're we're but we can look to see it's either
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: blue or it's not.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: It's not blue. Guess what. Swap it out and majority
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: of your cards aren't blue, or you could do that. Yeah,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: I just I don't.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: I don't see the stigma of why we can't go
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: ahead and sub out these cards. It's easy enough to
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: print two hundred, one hundred copies of something. We see
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: this with many other CCGs because they I know they
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: don't want to, and then that's what it really comes.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Down to, right, So why don't just say we don't
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: want to deal with it instead of giving us uh
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Discovery kits are going to be available for any any
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: and all playgroups. So you won't have to go through
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: your local UH friend local gaming store to get discovery kits.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: They're open to anyone who's willing to buy them.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Don't have a local store to play, So I'm fine.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: I thought I thought that was something from last year
• 45:14
  Speaker 5: that we had heard the same, but.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: We had asked the question last year and they had
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: said no. Basically, the short and skinny was they didn't
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: know who was you know, who was who, what was what?
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: And it was just too difficult to decide who to
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: give kids to and who not to give kids to.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: And so the answer at that time was no. Clearly
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: they have changed their mind on that. My guess is
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: mainly because if we're buying it, who gives a shit? Right, Like?
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Who cares?
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: So?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I seem to remember them saying something about they want
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: to make sure to support local stores, which I get,
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: but it's still weird. The main problem that they're going
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: to have right now is I agree with supporting your
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: local store, but when you run a game found sure
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: you really getting from your local store.
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: No.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: So question was asked about the randomness in cards with
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: cards like as again later control dominating games. That was
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: it was it intentional or was it random? And we
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: got oops, well, yeah, so it was not intentional. I
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: was like, hey, PV, we've seen a significant uptick in
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: random chance deciding games at key moments, right, and the
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: card games there's always random chance, but right, ask again
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: later strong fades atrocity, right, really driving these trends? Right?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Did you think of the house? Did you guess house
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: they were thinking or not that decides the game? Did
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: you happen to flip into a house where you can
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: prevent your opponent from winning? Yes or no? Right? Three
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: turn in a row? So basically, was this your intention?
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: And do you is this a new trend? Do you
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: want this to be the level of of randomness going forward?
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: And basically what they said was, well, we wanted to
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: be a skill based game for skilled to matter, so
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: we didn't really attend for chance to play such a
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: high role. So oops, I guess I didn't say, however,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: could you have missed this and play testing? Yeah? Oops? Like,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I know they probably there was a
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: group of skilled gamers there that could give you feedback like, hey,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: this might be bad. You need to cultivate more playtesters somehow,
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: they need to cultivate playtesters who are not just yes people. Well,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a matter. I don't think I
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: also think you think that.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a matter of listening to all constituents,
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: your playtesters, people outside of that being able to go
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: ahead and a just based on the feedback that's given.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: There's a large process that goes to it.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that. I think it requires multiple individuals.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: I believe the next question is you, mister j R.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: With Trenk's Creed, and.
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: Well, I will go ahead and argue that before that
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: we heard many different asks about local op like. It
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: came probably in four to five different ways, but the
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: short bit is, no, we're not getting consistent weekly Ope,
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: it's going to be a summer event. It's going to
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: be then I should say summer storyline events, which is later,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: and then it's going to go ahead and be the vaults.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: That was a little disappointing to still.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: We're getting a store championship as well.
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: Store championship is there, But even that, there was a
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: question about will we get more than one store championship
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: so that it would be for each of the sets,
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: and that answer was no.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: No.
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: So there's some interesting ideas, but no. I came straight
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: out and asked basically that there were cards that were
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: errated in f FG days. Are we going to go
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: ahead and see a more consistent errata or are we
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: going to eratu cards like Trent's Creed, where the intention,
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, was not to go ahead and collect
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: all of one's amber and then completely swing it to
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: the other side. Or I also use Jane the Bard,
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: which was the scrapability seems really odd that you would
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: want to scrap or toss it to exalt two of
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: your own creatures. And the answer that was given is, well,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: we're looking at how cards do this weekend?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Did I get that right? Yep? Yeah, yeah, so he
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: is open to it. He has opened a whole bunch
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: of maradas. We don't know it was it was. He
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: didn't really say when we're another we could, but what's
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: the chances they were out of the right things? Right?
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: I think Trenk's creed is an easy one, right supposed
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: to say friendly yeah, but that they probably won't do
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: it because.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: It doesn't the what do they do for asking again later?
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: So ask again later is a real big question. But
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: with Sanctum being purged, is Trink's creed and even Jane
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: the Bar do we care anymore because.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: We've seen poopy dragons? Right? I understand. I don't think
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: poopy Dragons is gonna dethrone PV from from where it
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: is right now. And I hear that.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: But if we go ahead and look at how Trink's
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: played this weekend, I think it was very interesting to
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: see its place in sealed for both worlds and then
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: the open, and to see how it did and arkon
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: open in Worlds. Drenks showed up in the sealed open,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: but it did not show up in the World's Open
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: to the same extent. We had a couple of them
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: that showed up. This was actually talked about earlier today
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: in our discord that they were categorized, but it wasn't in.
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: I guess i'd say obscene amount, but it really depends
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: on personal preference with what.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Rember is also a rare, so it's not easy to
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: come by, but it does I think the game. I mean,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I think Sheep's deck just proved it has game altering
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: effects right five and one, because he had two of
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: the most broken cards in the game.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: La Out told you, Yeah, I will say that you
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: have to have the right pod for Sanctum. I think
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: that it's a lot easier to find other houses. Other
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: pods and other houses in PV. Sanctum as a whole
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: can be problematic, and so to find a house that
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: has the has trenks plus enough other cards to make
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: it viable. Is not an easy task.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: All right. There was some talk about a b g
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: A integration. We'll see if that really goes to If
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: they do that, and I guess it would be pretty
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: cool because not only would it give it'd actually be
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: doing some marketing boys crazy because BGA is a giant platform. Yes,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: what better way to get key forage in the eye
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: you know, and in the eyes that of the hands
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: of many, but to get on BGA? Mm hmm. Marketing
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: fifty percent of marketing doesn't work.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: That did come up. That made wiki very happy.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I want to talk on you and just be like
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: yal bingo, like it's okay.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: I was literally have my head in my hands.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: And then you know how much you know how much
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: marketing doesn't work if you just don't do it.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: It was I wanted to sit there and yell. So
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: if you do none of it, does fifty percent of it? Still?
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Still zero? Is that how that works? Yeah? Zero? Was still? Still?
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Is that still zero? So you get absolutely nothing out
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: of it and you don't do it. Huh. Weird asked
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: about where the company will be in five years, which
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: was really like good question from Shaka is like, you know,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: it's like what I said, Hey, where do you see
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: the game and the company in five years? And CDP
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: is like, I don't know, hopefully we're still here. Come on, dude,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: like I have a vision. Man, he's gonna he's gonna
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: sell this gaming company to the same people he sold
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: f FG two and make a bucket of money. Probably
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: not probably, but maybe he's just happy with what he's got.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe that's fine for us. I don't know.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: It was weird though. I was like, that's not even
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: if that's real. That's not how you're supposed to answer
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: that question, right, Like you go to a job interview, right,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: or or like you get to a review with your boss.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Where do you see yourself five years from now? Like
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to say something interesting? Right? Yeah? Sure, I
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: don't Why not? I should try it? Lookie, I should
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: all right, I'm skipping over the next ones and we're
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: going right, and it's forage. I thought.
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: I thought de Dev's question, will you do more videos
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: so people can actually understand the concepts was a good one.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah, there was a lot there's already videos out
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: there for people to understand the concepts.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, like okay, this goes. If we had
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: had PV where Gigi actually ran through PV and you
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: could see the prophecies and the fates in effect, I
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: think that it would have helped reduce some of the
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: mental capacity in the load when people first got into
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: the set. It also, again is marketing and shows people
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: the game. But those are the things that we want.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: To but again, marketing doesn't work, so we're just gonna
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: do none of it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say, if you don't want to go
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: ahead and do that yourself. There's a phenomenal community you've had.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: You have that we have, no community. Put it to
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: the community. No stop it, sit down, no no more,
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: free work for no more. I said nothing about it,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: but kettle. Now you're gonna pay you ship? What do
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: you need?
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: Well after well after what we saw what the world's
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: prizes were.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: Okay, fine, I can't disagree with you. Put you back
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: in your in your ewok kennel, Get in your kettle. Anyways,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Snack forage, we had a big uh snack snack attack.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Forge community cards were handed out by dead sink. So
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: that was a lot of fun. I think there was
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: like forty two to collect, right something like that. Yeah,
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: actually was it forty two. I don't remember how many.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: I will tell you people were people like, we're really
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: into it.
• 56:49
  Speaker 5: People stayed up late to play because you actually could
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: use the community cards this year, so like it took
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: it to another level. And I saw people then trading
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: their extras and trying to complete the set.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: This I thought was an absolute winner from the weekend.
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: This community event was phenomenal, got people engaged.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: It was very very well done, so good. It was real,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: and our card was awesome. Our card was dope. We
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: had snacks, we had oriole cookies. As keys, we were
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: the red key. HFFS was the yellow blue key. Blue key.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: I think they're the blue key. And then there was
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: a litany of other but other people that were the
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: yellow key. Yellow key was the key Forge key, but
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: but there was other one. There was other ones. I
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: think Amber Medis had one. A few people had keys
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: so reacted and then we had we had the cake
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: to reveal our card. Boys, we're in key Forge. We
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: are We're in key Forge. I forgot the name of
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: our car. Isaac something or other. Right, I don't know.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: The card is actually like the dude in the middle
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: and we're just all around him, right, Yeah, I think
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: that's what it is. It's like, so I'm like a
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: dwarf drinking beer right e wok is with a square
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: jar uh. We got Wookie you doing something stupid, right,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: and then a drink there you go. And then we
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: got doctor Sheep who's got Sydney up on the should.
• 58:34
  Speaker 5: Correct I was trying to get there.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: So and we're actually a really good card, are we. Yeah.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: So every time your opponent re draws card, draws more
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: than one card, or draws their second card for the
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: turn you you steal to amber. Yeah, so pretty good.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: And it's a four power elusive, yes, right out of
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: range being zapped out of the sky by most direct damage.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: And it's elusive, so it's tough to deal with. It's
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: also rare Friday. We get in the world sealed and
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: the open sealed. Doctor Sheep did poorly, if anybody was wondering,
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: His polls were a lot like mine, hot trash. I
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: did okay. In the open sealed, I ended up going
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: four and two? Was I five and two? One of
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: the two doesn't matter. I didn't make it. I got
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: two losses. Drazz hund you do I did, okay, So
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: I so I ended up using an ARC on deck.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: I thought about swapping pods, but I was like, ah,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: it's not necessarily better, so I might as well just
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: use our conduct. I had no C options at all,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: So I was like, I was a little worried because
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like I can play with
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: no ember control and as long as I'm making mbur
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: and of good C, but no creature control is hard.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: So my deck had three point eight C not a lot,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: but it did have thirty four ember control, so that
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: was cool. Uh, Trank's creed and that accounted for thirty
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: two of it. Yeah, basically so yeah, Trenk's creed and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: hoodwink at both. Right, So in theory, the theory, I
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: should be a great shape until you get abortrocity three
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: times in a row and yeah, or board, right, that's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: the problem, right, Like so like there were a number
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: of games where like they were just reaping for a
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: billion and I would steal a bunch or you know,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: but you can only do that so many times and
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: so well, in Hoodwink purge. So yeah, yep, yep, Hoodwink
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: gets purge. You know how quickly you can get back
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: to tranks right like? So it was I. I was
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: hoping to do a little better, but uh no, such luck,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: mister Elock. How did you do in the open? I did?
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I did well Day one.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 5: I had a very very close first game, squeaked that out,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 5: and afterwards I started to kind of roll.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: A little bit more.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: I faced net Mike in round five and just narrowly
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 5: beat him, and so I went into the top eight
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 5: five and oh and so was feeling pretty good there.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 5: I will say that two of my pods immediately jumped
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 5: out at me. I did have a Sanctum pod that
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: was just really really good Trenk screed luminous boom, yes
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 5: and yes, please double equalize dissonant cord for some damage.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 5: It had the couple creatures that I didn't want to see,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 5: but it only had five so Brigadier Owls, General, the
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 5: Wise Jane, the Bard, and.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Double light Bearer Calvin.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 5: But that was definitely a pod that immediately jumped out
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: and it was well worth it. I did have to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 5: take a pod from each of my dacks so Sorryan
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 5: was my other one double Laurca infantry Lichter Justinian, But
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 5: really the it had two degenerate decor, which is so good.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 5: You can exalt the most powerful creature three times or
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 5: the most powerful friendly creature captures three and so a
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 5: way to be able to just put a bunch of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 5: amber that I'm gonna eventually get or fight pretty soon
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 5: was really good. It had too low, But the real
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 5: winner here was double Governess Sylvenia or a Sylvina number,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: which is yeah. In its play move each amber from
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 5: a friendly creature to the most powerful enemy creature, and
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 5: I almost always use that instead of the stun two
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: creatures with no amber on it, but with two of them,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: one of them enhanced. With that capture pip, I could
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 5: pretty much take the amber that was happening with Tryng's
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: creed if they.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Refused to play a board or for a while or
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: And the luminous boom is where it really came up.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: So I could capture with the luminous boom, which is
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 5: capture all and then I could send it over. I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 5: also had double Lorca infantry and Rufus Belgilius, which is
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: the basically capturing. So anything that I could stack with
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: the equal eyes, I could move it and then move
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 5: it over nice. So yes, playing against me, you did
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 5: not want to have a board, but it worked very
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: well for day one.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Moving into that, we played some poopy dragons. Boys, how
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: are your poopy dragons? I mean my deck was great.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: I mean great, it's the wrong word. My deck was
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: fun and there was lots of interesting things going on.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: I know a lot of people didn't have that experience, No, no,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: but I literally had. I played my first game. I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: lost pretty handily and I dropped because I'm like, I
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: have zero interest in ever seeing this deck ever again.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Like it was that well, like it was that bad
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: number one. Okay, So there were full art decks. I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: didn't get any full art cards.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 5: They were really yeah, this was I did not get
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: a full art deck, but those full art decks, there
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: was one next to me.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Those full art decks were really really neat looking. I
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: didn't get one of those. All the cards are blue,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: huh yeah, I uh that mine was fun. You don't
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: skip over this, you put in here. All the cards
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: are blue? Oh yeah yeah, because like you look at
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: the arc on card, I'm like, wow, I have a
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: million enhancements and the like. You look through and you're like, no,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: I don't because because when they printed them the full art. No,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: it's not just a full art they have. If that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: card has an umber pip on it, it's blue on
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: the arc on card, even if it's normally has an
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: umber pip. Yeah, okay, oh yeah, So I know that.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't have known that because I didn't have many
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: pips in my deck. Because my my deck, I can't.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: I cannot stress to you how terrible my deck was.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: It was absolute a hot pile of steaming dog shit.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: I kind of wanted to play against you just to see.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: And the reason being is I love my key forage time.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 5: So I enjoyed my key forage time, and I went
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 5: zero to three. My deck could do two things, really
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: really really well. People said, there wasn't see, oh, I
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: had plenty of C. I had so much C. What
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 5: I could do is I could generate plus one power
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: tokens and then blow up my own board. I was
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: amazing with that. I could even blow up your key.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: So in two of my three games, my opponents got
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 5: to forge even more with me because they forged or
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: key is.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: Perfect. So what do I think about this set?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 5: I want to I want to face our two decks Woki.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: We should because my deck did nothing well. It didn't
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: do see well, it didn't do creepy, it didn't go
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: this is a prime candidate. My Mars was just horrid.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember I had Mars. I had Saurian,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: which again was hot trash. I the third house, but
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: it was so nope, wasn't that one. No, it was
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: just so bad, so bad.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: Well, you're looking at I will I will say it
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: worries me a little bit. The ceiling to the floor
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: seems to be pretty wide, so from a sealed perspective,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 5: I like to have a tighter set that Sealed games
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 5: are pretty close, so that was a little worrying that
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: we could have quite a range. You can open up
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: something that's pretty.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Good or really really poor. But time will tell. I
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: think we need to play more. Remind me of og
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: Code of Days about how bad it could be, like
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: just that that, but like think of like that pain
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: bad that you had back in code. I don't remember
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: that pain bad in code. I remember that in a
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: I will say that. But at least if you got
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: pain bad. You both had pain bad. I think that it.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 5: I think it's going to be more f f G
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 5: because you don't have tokens, you don't have your prophecies,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: so there's there's less ways to be able to move.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: They were terrible too. Yeah.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 5: I will say that some of the things that were
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 5: played against me or I heard other people talking about,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: they looked fun dres when I talked to you or
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 5: other people who went three and oh they had a blast, but.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: That I was fun winning fun. Well, I will say that. Yeah.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 5: I will say that, like Skyborne, there was a lot
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 5: of ready and used and so some had also.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Got red line rotation and against all flags back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: It actually wasn't those cards that stood out. It was
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: more than ready in use, which allowed things to be
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: able to happen. But one of the complaints that people
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: were talking about was, hey, I don't have C again.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 5: My deck had so much CE it just would build
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 5: a board and then kill itself.
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, here's our card, local car put it in here. Yeah,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: at the end of your opponent's turn, if they draw
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: two or more cards during your drop card steps, still
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: too good stuff, It is very good. But I will
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: say I there.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 5: There's a little bit of worry, but we'll see.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: We'll see what it comes out. All right, After all
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: the festivities were done, we all went to the following
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: Knife brewery.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, you missed the most important part. What the
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 5: arbitrator showed up?
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Steve was there. The arbitrator showed up and
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: granted us face punches or slaps, open hand slaps.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 5: I will I will go ahead and say the arbitrator
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 5: was actually interested in playing has played a few games
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 5: to keyboards, very few, but actually playing an official Draconian
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 5: measures And unfortunately that was not an option for him
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 5: and his buddy. It was a magic player, so we
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 5: could have had two additional sealed players, but they had
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: no interest in playing an arc Hunter Alliance, whether that
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: Open or worlds. And so that's a pretty steep especially
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: for one deck to go ahead and buy the three
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: day pass for one hundred dollars. Yeah, so unfortunately couldn't
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: get in, but hopefully that could.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: Be said GG just couldn't take one on the chin
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: to maybe get two additional players.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: Well, it doesn't have to be on the chin. You
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 5: can buy here's a day pass, or here you can
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 5: buy for this event.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: It is literally two decks.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 5: I understand, but I would just I know that they're
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: always looking at how to go ahead and change this.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: And no, we didn't want to have it for a
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 5: single day, because that was what was told to me,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 5: is that.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Well, how would we go ahead and and know what day?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: And I say, you right on.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 5: Their pass Thursday or Friday, in sharpie, seems pretty straightforward.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, we see this for gen Con where they'll
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 5: have days, but we don't have to go over.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: No, that's sharpie, right. You really really cause it a lot.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: But you are a genius. Somebody should hire you.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 5: But no, mister term Key came out and we had
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: a wonderful time playing some board games.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: It's all right. After I dropped out of that, I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: went and played with Steve and his friend John I
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: believe it was. I went and played Race for the
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Galaxy with them, great game. Didn't didn't really know what
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: the hell I was doing, but I lost too, which
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: that was cool. And then we all went to the
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Falling Knife Brewery afterward and played a bunch of board games.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: I know there was. The Gang was a heavily played
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: game over the weekend, so was Circle Is it is
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: it rings and things, circles, things I love. I love
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: rings and things. It's it is one of my new
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: favorite games to play. Extraordinarily fun. The Gang's good too.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Just after you've played so much of The Gang, you're like,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: I'm ganged out.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: I will say that the Falling Knife Brewery was the
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 5: best beery that I had from Minnesota.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: It was very good. So, oh you didn't come with
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: us to Indeed, I did not know. I did not
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: get it. Indeed was very good. I enjoyed it. I
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: think falling Falling Knife was better, though you think so
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed my beer much much. Well, I didn't have
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: a beer at Falling Knife. I had a snow cone
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: grape snow cone slushy. Yeah, well that was your problem.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah I was. I did chose poorly. Looking back now,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, that sounds good. I like ices.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was bad, but that's not like. No, it
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: was too much of a wine taste in it, and
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not a huge fan of wine. So but it
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: was fine. We moved into Saturday, which is now Worlds
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: and the open. Oh, you guys went to you guys
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: went to the Roof Beef Joint, So good man. You
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: guys got lunch before we did, so we did not
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: get an opportunity to go with you, so that kind
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: of sucked. So World's players started after the Open players did,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: so our lunches did not align, so we went to Panda.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: They got to go to a roost beef place. I'm
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: totally jealous. I should have just played in the open
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: because I owe tuned in worlds Want Want got my
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: got my teeth kicked in. I didn't get no slouches
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: in either. I played. I played a mirror match against
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Squash first round and it's literally who's going to guess?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: The game was who's going to guess wrong? First? Guess
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: who guessed wrong? First? It was me? And then next
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: game I went up against cap Marrow that that deck
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: she's got is still sick at top four No, no, yeah,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: top four a top four, it's still sick. And now
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: it's different and it's even better. So yah. But winner
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: for World c H World Sealed was Dave c again
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: pulled some pretty nice stuff. Open Sealed winner. You want
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: to go through this one, mister ewok, since you're relevant
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: in it. Sure.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: So I was very very blessed to be able to
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: make it to the final two, and I faced off
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: against Ned Mike and Ned Mike and I had a
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 5: really really close game on the day before Friday and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: I was able to squeak it out, and that was
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 5: not the case on Saturday. Ned Mike played phenomenally well
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: and he three owed me both games. I finished with
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 5: three well, with one amber and then three amber, and
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 5: I'm like, whoa like, how did that magically change? And
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 5: it was trenths on trinks, so it did try but
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: it came down to timing. So it gets a little
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 5: bit more exaggerated on the actual score. But there was
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 5: in game number one, there was a rage resets that
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 5: was headed an absolute perfect time. Again he had to
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 5: place it and I had to call wrong, but that
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: rage reset was a fifty percent chance, and that hit.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 5: What hurt was that he then immediately purged because the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 5: trenks went and my Governor's Sylvania with the capture pips,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 5: so that both of them went and he purged it with.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: In furnace in furnace, So.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm like, all right, well, I still have luminous boom
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: to capture. I can still send over. He had creatures
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 5: out early in that first game, and once I got
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 5: to anywhere of close, it was just too late and
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 5: he pulled off the board, which was very very smart.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 5: Game number two was a very interesting game in that
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 5: early on we have I have an empty board and
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: he double dooms and hits my Trenk's creed with the
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 5: discard pip and I'm like, that is a sixteen percent
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 5: chance hits because there's not a creature out, You're not
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 5: sending anything else back to my hand. But that that
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 5: made it rather difficult, and yeah, I I could not draw.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: I did talk to him and it was really interesting.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: He was playing an ARCon deck and he actually took
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 5: this ARCon deck to the ark On Open, and so
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: I was playing a similar deck, but it had different cards,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 5: a couple different like it, just it was a different
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 5: deck that I was playing for open the arc On Open,
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: and because he had it as an arc On deck,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 5: he took it into the Open and was able to
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: go ahead and make top eight. But it also gave
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: him all of Saturday to practice with it. And I
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: really give him credit because I think that's a great
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: It was a resource that was available to him, but
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 5: that helped him to get to know the deck a
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 5: lot better because I was like, how was the game
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 5: so close?
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: And I just got absolutely smoked.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: Well, practice, if you practice the deck, if you go
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 5: ahead and get more reps with it, you see more
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: aligns with it, You're gonna get better with your deck.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 5: That was not an option with me, as I had
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 5: a pod from each deck. But again, Ned Mike, total
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: credit to him. He played his he played well, he
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 5: got lucky, and you know, he had voice that hey
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 5: I got lucky when I hit this, sure, but he
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 5: also played very clean. There was no mistakes and it
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 5: was great to play against him. Unluckily for me, they
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: actually extended invitations for next year to the top two.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 5: Like all of the mirroring vaults, you have access, yeah,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: I have access to worlds.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah for the Minnesota dues. All right, you guys went
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: to Insight Brewing too that night. Uh yeah, not that night.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: I thought it was it that night. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 5: Because you just came back when I was and as
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 5: soon as you came back, and I got real cold
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 5: and did not pull anything, so.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: We ditchede walk while he was playing to go to
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Indeed Brewing. Well, he didn't realize he was in the finals.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: He wasn't in the finals when we went to indeed right,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: and then we and then we got food, We're like,
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: oh shit, we need to go back. He's in the finals.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: So we went well, yeah, well, so we were gonna
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: go get food, and then I don't remember if it
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: was who went in to the place we were going
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: to go eat, and that was like in a definite wait.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: They didn't know how long we'd be waiting. So then
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: we're like, we're going to Uncle Frankie's, which me and
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Steve we thought was a dive bar earlier because I'm like,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: that's definitely a dive bar, and it's like, nope, it
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: turns on it serves food. So then we ate and
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: Uncle Frankly are like, oh shit, he walked me to
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: top two. We gotta go back. Yeah. It was like
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: like a little old Hamburger yeah spot from like nineteen
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: fifty four. It was pretty good though. It was pretty good, right,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: and I was quite shocked. I'm not come in right
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: and there's just the woman in the cash roster and
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: there's the cook, right, and so like you know, doctor
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Sheep's like, oh yeah, give me the give me the
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: juicy lucy, and so you know, the cashier takes disorder.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: Then then the cook's like, you know that it's gonna
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: take like ten to twenty minutes. She's just like staring
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: at him. She's like, uh, it's like I'll have a double.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: She's like, okay, she starts making him that instead, yeah, triple,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: forget what you got whatever. So yeah, she's stared him
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: down until it changed his order. And then and then
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: we went back to go uh hype up and he
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: promptly lost. Sorry.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 5: Maybe rule of thumb is don't hang out with you guys,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 5: and I played much better.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But after that we went to another brewery which
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: went to last year, which is Insight Brewery, and I
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: can't remember what we played Telestrator after Dark, Telecaster after
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: which is telestrations illustrations after which normally normally I'm not like,
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: you know, that's normally not my big thing, but like, uh,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: it was fun. It was fun. It was a lot
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: of fun.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 5: We can see the artistic ability of some people in
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 5: the group.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Is extraordinarily artistic. Who knew.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: Very very I did feel a little bad for the
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: rest of the population in the brewery. It wasn't super packed.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 5: I think there was one other group that was playing Yeah,
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: there was a group that was playing Magic and a
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: couple other side, but we definitely weren't keeping down are.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: They were they giving us looks? I don't even notice.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know, not enough that mattered. I know that
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 5: we had kind of glossed through. Saturday, I actually ended
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 5: up so there were seventy six people in the Arkhan Open,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 5: and I ended up facing There were only two teammates.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 5: That was Dexter and one dras Corps and Drascourt and
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: I got partnered on our first match. That's right, yep,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 5: So that that was that was something, and I felt bad.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 5: We mulliganed and then dras Corp magically has all of
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 5: his mars very very early.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I just had to hit the gas right
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: because of that matchup. If the game goes long, it's
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: probably your favor, right, So so I'm like, well, I'm
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: just gonna hit the gas Probabilistically, he doesn't have the
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: graft yet. So I burst into like sixteen amber or something,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: and he had the graft.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 5: So I was like, well, yeah, I'm mi asthma, I'm
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 5: so I had I actually had Trenk straight Misma and
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: the graft but all that you cared about was the graph,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 5: and like, well, you have no way to discard this.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: I will just creatures like this my marcycle, I can
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: end the turn with no creatures on board. And you did.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: You did that excellent that I'm not going to trinks
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: you and so yeah, no, it was. It was brutal.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: And then graph came out and it was all in
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: turn three. I'm like, well, I don't want all of
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: this early, and then I wanted it and it was
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: it was wonderful.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I worked out for you, so nice. Yeah.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: How did you end up finishing in the open? Uh?
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: It was? Uh? I was so I lost that game
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: went forward and just got played against a deck that
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: could loop its atrocity and I was played against me
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: three times and I think I was time walked six times,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: and I almost won, but I didn't. It was it
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: was unfortunate because I actually had so finally, after being
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: time walked like two or three times, the atrocity kills itself.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: I have in my hand the b r Geist and uh,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not able to to get him haunted so that
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: I could I could play it later in the game.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: I actually ended up doing it. But it was too late.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: Of course, flipped a card you know, didn't stop him
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: from killing the killing the adverts right that killing, excuse me,
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: not the infert is killing the atrocity, and and then
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: I lost. So yeah, I felt like I didn't guess
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: the house he was thinking of. Very well, so you know,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? Guess better? I know what
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: I can do? Yeah, I mean, guess better? Is is
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: is what guess better? I mean that we should change
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: the tagleg of this podcast from draw better to guess
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: better better? I mean what the game is right now?
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: Guess what house I'm thinking of? Better? I will say.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: I put into the show notes a deck that I
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 5: played so.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: On that had to have been the Last Chance the
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: live show chat.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 5: It's a live show chat, but on Thursday during the
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: Last Chance qualifier, because I did play in second amber there,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 5: I went one in two, I faced a lovely young
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 5: boy Jackson, and hit a really really cool deck which
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 5: was General Ghost Glasade. So it is this Amber Sky's
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 5: deck with triple against all legs, redline rotation and then
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 5: double a rise, double drumble, and so it's just this
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 5: loop of basically, if you go to six, the geistoids
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 5: and the Skyborne is going to go ahead and basically
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 5: push you back down. If you go to seven or higher,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 5: it's just gonna all be captured. But the real hint
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 5: for this deck is that he's got a hungry hippogriff,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 5: though not familiar with that. That Skybeast has five capture
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 5: pips that it brings in. So that's all scattered throughout
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: the deck, but it says each other their friendly creature
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 5: gains destroyed Movie Jamber from this creature to your pool.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 5: So total grindy game, like really fun game, just back
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 5: and forth, like how do you get around this deck
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 5: to just keep going forward? So I knew this, and
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 5: we had played well past time as they were trying
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: to close up on that Thursday, and then I got
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: paired against him when I was two and two or
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 5: I think at that point it was yeah, I was
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 5: two and two or one, and it would have been
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 5: to one. It was well, well see that's the thing. Look,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 5: he I ended up finishing what should have been two
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 5: and three. So explain that one to me because I
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: faced I faced our good boy Jackson in that two
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: and one match, and I'm like, ah, this deck is
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 5: just brutal to play against. I don't have the tie, Like,
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 5: what am going to do? So I got to the
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 5: first key pushing four. I'd gotten the second key, and
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 5: he was just super tired. He'd stayed up. His dad
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: had made one of those final slots to be able
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 5: to go into with the last chance qualifier, so he'd
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 5: helped him out, which was super cool, but you could see.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: The ten year old was just really tired.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 5: And so we're playing, playing and get to the essentially
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 5: what is going to be the final round. Right before that,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 5: i'd pushed. I'm like, I'm just gaining amber. He ends
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 5: up going ahead and I'm in this drum ble lock.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 2: It's a rise.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 5: He only plays one drouble Arise, drumble a rise like
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 5: he's literally a rising and then trumbling. I'm able to
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 5: kill it. Time ends and it's on my turn. All right,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 5: there's nothing to do, but I could not kill the
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 5: drumble in the last time. So all he did here rise.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 5: I'm up two keys to one key, but he has
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 5: the drumble out. So the question was do you know
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 5: what the end of time rules are? And he goes,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 5: I can sede. It's a real like do you know
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 5: what's happening?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: Do you know what's here?
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 5: And I know you're tired, but kind of going through
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: that well, he had cycled, he had brought out the
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 5: Hungary Hypocrite. He had not fought with his drumble. But
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 5: I could not kill the drumble because of I could
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: not kill the drumble with the elusive because I had
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 5: one creature of each house and there was enough damage
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 5: that he could have fought into it. Now, he never
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 5: said to fight, but he said I can sede. It's
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 5: at this point his dad comes in and is like, Hey,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: I don't mean to be dad, but uh, can I
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 5: go ahead.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: And call it judge?
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can call Judge like you have anyone as
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 5: like it's weird as here, And he was really cool.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 5: He's like, I want to just make sure my son
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 5: understands what's actually happening. But he calls over and it
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 5: just creates this super weird, awkward moment and so g
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 5: is brought over and she's like, well, okay, here's the
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 5: end of time rules. Yeah, there's sixteen amber out. It's
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: going to go that he gets to forge a key
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: and then he'll have more amber on the type breaker
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 5: and he'll end up winning. I said that's fine, and
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 5: Jack's like, I already put in I concede it. I'm like,
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 5: I can just press concede too. We can like we
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 5: can go through this. And he started and says like,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 5: that's not the point of this. We want to teach
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: him for a long time. Like I one hundred percent agree,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: but I can't take a win off of this, and
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: so it was like super super super super weird and
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: awkward and like what are you doing? Like so we
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 5: basically held up the round as they're trying to decide
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 5: what to do over this play, and after that we
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 5: immediately got pair and I got paired up and I
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: get paired against one of the other four o's. So
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: it all worked out because I got I get beat
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: right away. But it was like I technically went two
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: and three and I should not be here. This is
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: not it. I can go ahead and double concede, but
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: that's not what was said, and it went to that
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 5: he went ahead and had conceded, and so that was
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: what G ruled. Is that because he had conceded that
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: that we're moving on. I'm like, it's a ten year
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 5: old boy, I don't care like, if he doesn't know,
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 5: we can we can go ahead and press a button.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 5: That doesn't matter. So I give Jacksonville credit.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 2: Really cool. DAK was a lot of fun.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 5: I would have actually liked to have seen that go
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 5: into the other PV meta because it just causes a
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 5: lot of issues if you don't have something like atrocity
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 5: for the control.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 2: So go check out that DAK super cool. Yeah, it's
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: a one nineteen on the drazz score dot com. Check
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: it out there. I change the site a little bit
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: so it's easier if you don't have a log in
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 2: to just immediately start using it, so doesn't force you
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 2: to log on screen right away.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: Did you update it that we can get from the
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: old site over?
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean from that's no way they
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: get that. I know. But that's the problem we have
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: to I mean I that would be a pain in
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 2: the butt to try to figure out to do that.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: What do you what do you want to do? You walk?
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: What do you want me? We'll figure that out later.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: Let's move in a Sunday the Top eight. You can
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: check all the top eights over at arkhan ar Kana.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 2: Winner for Alliance was Eleen mac from France from France.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: And then the winner for Arkhan was Willy five on
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: five one zero right yep, Taiwan, Yeah, Taiwan. I couldn't
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: remember if it was five one zero five oh one,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: but Willie.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: It's fine, it's five. Yeah, it's five to ten. So
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 5: Alliance was Ellie Mac and Virus Incoming. Both were on PV.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 5: Alliance yep. And then for Arcan was Willy five ten
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 5: and Lorenzo ninety nine.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 2: So again look at both PVV. Yeah, both on TV.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: PV dominated the weekend. It did dominate the weekend representing
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: Ember Skies in the top eight. The only arc on
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: Top eight not PV was Tooting Carnage, who is in
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: the audience right now with some Nary so get slow
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: tude garbage. So nary is uh is uh. As the
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: top eights are going on, we have the team event,
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 2: which is can we officially say it was yours e walk?
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 2: If we didn't, we just did. So it was my
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: community idea there.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 5: Josh and GG had asked right away, hey, can we
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 5: go ahead and we really like this to be a
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 5: GG event and can we go and set this up?
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 5: And so I did work with Josh and GG in
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 5: order to make sure that it was an event that
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 5: both sides could go ahead and use it. Originally, I
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 5: did want it to be kind of a year of
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 5: Sealed in Review. So the idea was to do amber
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 5: Sky's Vault Master twenty five and PV. With the amount
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 5: of TV we had done, I'm really happy we actually
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 5: didn't have more PV and Vault.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: Master twenty five was not an option.
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 5: So we went back and forth and we ended up
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 5: with Talk amber Skies in Vault Master twenty four. So
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 5: what do you think, Dres you had played?
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: It was a ton of fun. Yeah, it was. So
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 2: I played with x Ray and B Hawk and I
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: played amber Skies and x Ray played Talk, B Hawk
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: played VM twenty four. Uh, we went two and one.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: We had a good time, and uh, I thought everybody
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: was really enjoying the team event. There was. There was
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: lots of folks who who you know, who were enjoying it.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: And the prizing. The prizing was good, right, like, uh,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: you know, three rounds and you know you guys, well,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: I mean you guys took it down right. Yeah.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 5: So I was very very lucky Teamy Walk I had
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: camera and Loco car with me and It was absolutely
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 5: wonderful to play. It was great to talk kind of
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 5: shop and go back and forth. I felt that our
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 5: decks did go ahead and jump out at us. Local
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 5: Car opened up a top deck that had five five
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 5: of a card, you know, just a job.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was five routine jobs. So we actually figured
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 5: is that it pulls in sets of two or three,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 5: so there had to be two sets and one of
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 5: them of two and one of them three. But five
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 5: routine jobs is incredible. My deck actually struggled probably the
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: most out of the others, but I had a double
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 5: arcanometer deck, and out of double arcanometer, one of the
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 5: arcanometers had a Mars pip on it, so that's that's
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 5: definitely something and it shuts down a whole lot for
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 5: amber skies. And then Kamira just played really, really well
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 5: with his decks. He had a very close match in
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 5: match number two, but we were able to be successful.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: It was it was amazing.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my my deck is Loco Car points out just
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 5: didn't make amber.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: So it was so slow.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 5: I would see others just grinding away and grinding away
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: outside of the arcanometers. I had no real way to
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 5: stop people from making Amber and it didn't have C
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 5: but it if you're trying to play cards, you lost
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: Amber for sure.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: All right, And what did you guys win for winning
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: the event?
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: Sookie problem? Yeah, glad you ass they're Wookie. So out
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: of the three event like playing three rounds, there were
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: twenty three teams, so great job. Having all the teams
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 5: show up. We were able to go ahead and get
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: two full sealed boxes and as first we got a
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 5: choice out of which of the three boxes. So there
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: was a box of Amber Skies, there was a box
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: of Vault Master twenty four, and there was a box
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: of Talk and as first we got a chance to
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 5: pick two. So that split was eight decks for us,
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 5: which was really really good.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: People the best prizing. I would say, let's segue, what
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: what what did the people in the Worlds get?
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I can tell you that for my second place
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 5: in the sealed Open, I did get access to Worlds
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 5: next year, which is great. And I have a really
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 5: cool foiled matt that is amazing and well worked that
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 5: that is really that it's just beautiful. There's a pin
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 5: as a finalist, so I appreciate that finalists being all
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 5: the top eight people got finalist pins, but I didn't
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 5: know that it was second. But then I got one
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 5: vault Master twenty five, one vault Master twenty four and
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 5: one vault Master twenty three deck.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: What the So you got better prizes especially event, than
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: you did for placing higher in a larger event.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: Well, and realized that I had to go five and
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 5: oh on the first day and I was one of
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 5: the early entrants in.
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: People. What did Dan get? Now? Mind you, Dan top
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: ate a an alliance. Yeah, if memory serves, Dan got
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: a play mat it is, yeah, a vault Master twenty
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 2: five deck and a vault Master twenty four deck. If
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: I remember correctly, this is alliance.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, so I can say Sydney with her alliance top
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 5: eight had a Vaultmester twenty five, vault Master twenty four
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 5: in the pin, and then the mats, oh yeah that
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 5: was that was hers. And then Dan's World Alliance was
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 5: Vaultmester twenty five, vault Master twenty four the pin, and
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 5: then my second place was the vault Master twenty five,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: Weltmester twenty four, Vaultmester twenty three in the pin.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: So you got better, I think in the team event
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: than you did for being in Worlds, yeah yeah.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 5: Or not only Worlds, but being in Worlds and making
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: top eight, which is like that's a real accomplishment to
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 5: go ahead and.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Not harder to ghost Gallopy. Wow, it was unfortunate.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: I think we're like, yeah, I think this was the
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: biggest mistake that they had.
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah, the prizing for second Ember was like better, yes,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: so second Ember, right, you get your blue tickets. Now
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: it's you know, it's random, so you're not you're not
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: getting in volume. But the cool thing was they were
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: handing out they had a box full of geo tagged
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 2: VM twenty five decks from all the different Vaultaurs locations,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 2: like including international ones, and so you could just win
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: a geotag deck from uh from a various places, which, honestly,
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 2: what they should have done for Worlds is like, if
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: you win Worlds, you should just get a geotag deck
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 2: VM twenty five from every location, right, like like that
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 2: would be kind of cool and and you know, maybe
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: two of them if you're winning. Maybe I don't know,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: like but yeah, no, instead said there was less so
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: so interestingly enough, so Daniel Vee, Right, they got great
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: guy from Spain who came out and we actually from
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: beer Forge, right, we hung out with him. Yeah, we're
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: honary remember as a beer Forge now sucking check. Yeah,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 2: we hung out with him quite a bit over the weekend.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: So he had to run to catch his flight. So
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 2: he's like, here, take my blue ticket. So I was like, okay.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: So so actually the number got called, so I got
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: a Vietnam Geotag deck and then uh we better open that.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 2: That's a banger right there. So like the couple next
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: to me, I assumed they were a couple. Actually they
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: were always together and uh, I guess I don't actually
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: know they were a couple. But from Germany they also win.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 2: But then the deck they get is like from Germany,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: and they were like, how did we end up with
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: the one from Germany? We're from? Like, we're from Germany.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: And I was like, I'll trade you because I don't
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: care which international deck I get. So yeah, I gave
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: him the Vietnam deck and I got a Germany one.
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: So now I got a Germany. Is it in German? No,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: it should be in English English? Ye, I haven't opened
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: it yet.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 5: Okay, over, I will say our last chance qualifier boys
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 5: had one hundred and thirty people. The World's Open for
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 5: Sealed had one hundred and thirteen, and then you had
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: the twenty four playing in this seield. So for one
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 5: hundred and thirteen person events to get three decks like
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 5: we had seen first place last year? Was that not
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 5: two boxes? And then second place got a box? Ye
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: like to go all the way down to essentially scraps
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 5: of here's one one in one. I mean I had
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 5: people tell me that I should have just sent it
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 5: back and said, you obviously need this more than I do.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 5: But yeah, that that that one was, that was a
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 5: pretty big hit. I don't know what happened, what the
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 5: mistake was.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 2: But they sold too many.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 5: If you need if you need to put in if
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 5: you need to put an high box, you need to
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 5: put an eye boxes on boxes of Vault Master twenty four.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: They had piles of them in the back, and I
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: will tell you were allowed to buy three, but there
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: were tons of people who were like, I can't remember
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: if it was local. Cairo came to me and told
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: me it's like I just went and bought some and
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 2: they didn't punch my tag, So like yeah for twenty
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 2: five no, no, yeah, no, it's twenty five the green Ones. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: well I'm telling you right now you were able to
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: buy three and then they were supposed to punch your
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: badge there. I don't and I don't think some people
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: were getting their badges punched. Yeah he Lokar just said
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 2: he bought five Vault Master twenty five decks.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 5: There were thirty boxes that were there. And I will
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 5: say I appreciate that Marcus really went ahead and was
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 5: able to convince them to produce this because when I
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 5: was trying to set up for Sealed, it was not
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 5: an option. And not only that, but these were KFC
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 5: exclusive Vault Master so they actually were geot no, but
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 5: they were GEO take like its really cool. Yeah, that
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 5: is really cool. Like that's what we want is for
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 5: an event to have it. Hey, I went to Worlds.
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 5: This is it so awesome job on that we got
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 5: to publicize and let people know, not figure it out,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: but we need to have some prising that set aside
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 5: that that was sad, I'm still happy. I mean, how
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 5: can you really complain when you have access to Worlds and.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 2: You did as well as you did. But if you
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 2: fight through a large will find a way. Let's not
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 2: what well, let's let's let's head home. To head home,
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 2: I need to get some CP you walk local car
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: x ray myself. We went to get some ramen that
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: was pretty good.
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 5: That was actually the first dinner that I had that
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 5: whole once I made it there Wednesday night. I did
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 5: not have dinner Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so that I got
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: to do better. You know.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: Boys, So here's what you should do. You have that
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: food truck come for lunch, but you give us an
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 2: hour for lunch, so like we can totally just walk
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: to Bison or one of those other places, get lunch
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 2: and come back. Like that's easy. Dinner is the hard
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 2: one because they seem to want to roll directly into
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 2: whatever it's coming next. Yeah, like you need the food
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 2: truck there for dinner, like what we did us, I
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 2: would have used it. Yeah, Thursday still the problem I
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: feel is like Thursday night. Yeah, oh I don't know,
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: because right we eat at like nine o'clock in the morning,
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 2: and then it's like we get in there at like ten,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 2: and then by like one, it's like all right, we're
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: doing lunch, and it's like ah, really right away, it's
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 2: like you play two rounds and then it's lunchtime right away.
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 2: It's like now, it just feels too too quick. I
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: Dinner's the problem with Keith with a keynote and meet
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: the ghosts. We're staying for that, so I see why
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 5: others left. Friday it was Torconine measures and then Saturday,
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 5: I was blessed to be able to be in for
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 5: a world so I stayed in order to play the
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 5: top eight and then top four in the finals. So again,
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 5: this is all a really good thing, but it just
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 5: it really meant that there was not going to be dinner.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 5: So I really enjoyed the ramen. I really did, and
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: it was it was fun hanging out.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep. Yeah. We left quickly and we uh and
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 2: we laughed. Me and Dan left quickly. We got the
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: hell out of there and it was time to go.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 2: I knew I had to be in early on Monday.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 2: I was not interested in staying any longer than I
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: had to, so as soon as an opportunity came to
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: get get the funk out of there, I got out,
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 2: and boy was it needed. Got home, got myself a
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: nice bit of sleep that was much needed, even though
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 2: I did not drink nearly as heavy as I have
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: in years past, I was still seepy. And that's okay.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 2: I did I was drink.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 5: The most important thing we found out that Wookie snores
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 5: less if we put him on the floor.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 5: So here going forward, he is now forever put on
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 5: the floor.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 2: Yep. We just need to buy a air mattress because nope, nope,
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 2: I don't want the stores on the floor, Nope, I need.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 2: I need the air mattress because I needed that for
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: my back that night because my back was really giving
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 2: me issues because of the limp and all day. But
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I need the hard I need
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 2: the hard ass floor to like realign my back, which
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: it totally did, so I was really happy about that.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I need like an air mattress. It just
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 2: even maybe one of those just like cant with it,
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: those camping pads, just a little something to soften that
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 2: floor just a little bit, just a little bit. It's
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: all masking, just a little not terrible.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 5: I will say that the community events, the community cards
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 5: were huge hit. I think that overall KFC went well.
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: Overall.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 5: I actually like seeing Meet the Ghosts and the keynote
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 5: on that Thursday night. I thought that we had minimal
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 5: issues overall except for prizing. Prising was probably the biggest
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 5: failure that we saw, and it was pretty substantial. But
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 5: if that's it, it only impacts a couple of individuals.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 5: I'd still like to see more prizing just given out
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 5: in general for Fellowship Awards. People who are like, hey,
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 5: you showed up well, but but it makes you feel good. Man,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 5: if you've if you've lost, if you lost in your
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 5: out and you're like right there that day for second Amber,
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 5: here you go, here's a pin, here's a deck. Things
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 5: of that sort that I did. I did put in
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 5: that I wanted to see Fellowship Awards are prizing for
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 5: teams in the team event, because if you lose the
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 5: first round, you feel like you're out, and okay, I
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 5: have nothing really to play for outside of just the fun.
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 5: But if you throw in a deck or two, you know,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 5: so in this case, it'd be three decks for a
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 5: couple of teams.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 2: It's just it's it's a good win.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, I lost, I can't get the big prize, but
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 5: I have a deck and it's something to go on for.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 2: I like that idea. It keeps morale up, and that's
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 2: something we could do better with.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 5: But if that's really the worst of it, only a
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 5: couple of us were hit for it. It is what
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 5: it is, so overall, really really fun, wonderful weekend.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a ton of fun, hanging out with folks,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: going going to food, going to have some rings, playing
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: key forwards. It was. It was a good time. It
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 2: was a good time, all right, So morel of the story.
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 2: Get your answers to KFC. It's always a good spot.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 2: Nobody's angry. Nobody's angry at KFC. The only championship that
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 2: really meant to anything this weekend was the Worldly Ball Championship,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 2: which will be defending champions. It's okay, yeah, next year's
• 1:51:00
  Speaker 2: Wordly Ball Worlds. Wow. Well, well, congratulations to the winners,

• 1:51:18

• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: You know, we had a good we had a good
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 2: team out there on the on the Worli ball court
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: that day and we just you know, we just had
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 2: the visions rink rink Yeah, yeah, no, no, nobody really
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 2: understood why I took uh Luke because I got asked
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 2: a couple of questions on it. I'm like, dude, the
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: guy's like six ten, it's tall. He fucking reaches and
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: touches the goddamn scoreboard. Why why would I not take him? No?
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: I was like, we may have our differences on cards,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: but I need him to shoot some goals. And then
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: my job was basically to just hit hit, hit other
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: bumper cars, and I will our game plan was executed flawlessly.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: I'm glad that you were able to execute. I will
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 5: say it for our open winners, uh being able to
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: get access in Vargas taking first for Arkon Open Panic second,
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: so both qualifying for next year. And I think Vargas,
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 5: if I'm correct, that does give him each of the trophies.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 5: So pretty sweets there. And then for the Alliance Open
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: you had Dorian Levin who took first and Mickey for second.
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 5: So shout out to all the top two is qualifying
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 5: for next year.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah, don't go on any vault to his assholes.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, I'm sorry that will love some of them.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 5: There's a lot of swears here, a lot a lot
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 5: of donations, even qualifying even qualifying for next year, there's
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 5: the vaults are a wonderful experience and so it takes
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 5: some of the stress off. But no, there'll be lots
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 5: of reasons to go and play and to have fun.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 5: It was a little weird not to have the listing
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 5: for the first vaults or any vaults for next year.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 5: That was part of the did we have that?
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 2: Last year?
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 5: We heard that we were going to go to rose
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 5: Was it Roseville? That was two years ago? And so
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 5: this year was it Baltimore? Well, two years ago, then
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 5: we had it? So last year do we not?
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: Though I didn't think we had it till January. I
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: could be wrong on that one. Well, yeah, we'll have
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: to see where the events are. I honestly don't remember,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: but yeah, we'll have to see where they are next year.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: I know last year came out much earlier than it
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 2: did previously. Yeah, well now that helps the plan. Right
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 2: two years ago I came out really quick. But hopefully
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 2: in four to six key weeks we get we get
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: our vault to our schedules so we can start planning
• 1:54:01
