  Speaker 1: Nope, never heard of it.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Man, you never heard of banana ball? All right?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I really liked spaceballs. Space ball is good.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think those are the same. But you know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: banana ball is a sport, and it's like a little
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: more fun version of baseball. They are a little more
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: wacky and everything.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: But is the ball banana shaped? No?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But it is yellow. And there's the Savannah bananas.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I thought they just played baseball.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's banana ball.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's not Oh you mean.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: The Savannah Banana's baseball. Yes, I know, I've seen those clips.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not baseball. It's banana ball.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: It's baseball, but more fun and interactive. It's like the
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Globetrodders of baseball.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It's an entirely different league with different rules.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. True.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: But anyways, what's going on everybody? I am the one,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the only co H L R A B. I here
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: with my usual wonderful people minus one misfit. Why you
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: have to change? You have to ruin my intro as
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I'm changing it up. I was about to compilate, I
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: was about to compliment you, But now I'll say. We
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: have Dexter, the kid who likes to correct everyone, including
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the way I spelled whoops in the show notes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yep, that is correct, Tell everybody.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And we have Felix, your favorite local Pokemon professor.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's cool. We're Pokemon podcast today.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we could talk.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I know a little bit about Pokemon.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I heard there was some controversy lately or something, but
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know what.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I actually haven't been paying attention.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Should we should we become a drama podcast? No comment
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that we saw from the YouTube?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Why not comment? That's are chaos?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That is about Arcon's Corner though it's not about altered Corner. Yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: but it's Uh, it's been been a while since we've
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: been here. Wookie is dealing with life and work and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: all the consequences. But I'm getting laid off, so I'm
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: basically unemployed and I am here able to talk about
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: some things. It's been There's been a lot, but we're
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: gonna We're gonna try to get through some of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: bigger things quickly and then hopefully get to a more
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: normal schedule by next Friday. Today is Saturday, not our
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: normal recording time, so we're already a day off after
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: being two weeks off or however long it was. But
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: between the then and well, between now and the last
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: time we talked, we've gone to gen Con. We have,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: most of us have gone to Dallas for the first
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: North American in person World Qualifier for Altered. There has
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: been as of today, the Swiss rounds of the EU
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: based time Zone Online Qualifier. We probably won't talk about
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: that too much in today's episode, will probably recap it
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: next episode as it's still ongoing. I have to wake
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: up at seven in the morning tomorrow to do day two.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So tons of fun, but Dexter especially, you went to
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: gen Con for the first time, right.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, this was the first time I went to gen Con.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I was pretty much at the Altered area the whole time, though, yep.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I have never attended gen Con as an actual attendee,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: have have you? Felix jen Con?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Well last year well actually no, not in it's and
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: t I've always just worked at gen Con.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the three of us have always worked at
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: gen Con but never actually gone to gen Con, so
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: this will be a fun little inside scoop. I wanted
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to ask Dexter some questions and put him on the
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: spot because I wasn't we weren't entirely sure if Felix
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was gonna make it. But Felix is here now, he
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: is more experienced, So we're gonna put Dexter on the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: spot first. How was your first gen Con and what
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: did you do?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Dexter?
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: I did nothing outside of Altered. It was a lot
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: of fun. It was a lot of walking. I was
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: very tired even by like the third day, but I
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: enjoyed it. I got to see a few booths and
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: like RPG stuff, but I didn't really check out anything
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: other than Altered and a few other card games. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: looked at Universes and uh rish Bound as well.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Though.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you do at gen Con?
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Why were you there?
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I was only there for Altered, So I was judging
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Altered for four days?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Uh so right? Four days?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Right? Or Thursday through Sunday? Yeah?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Wednesday was just training, but technically we were there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Wednesday, Yeah, so judging there pretty much every day, sticking
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: with the altered crew, demoing and judging drafts and bigger events.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: In the notes here, you've also added a bullet for
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the main one v one top decks. Do you have all?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I don't have those decks. I thought you had all
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: deck information.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: I wanted to go over what with the winning decks
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: were there for the big event at gen Con. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I'll have to go grab my notebook here in a second,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: and then i'll.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I will say the top two were Novenka.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, big, Like was it fifty people tournament that we
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: had at gen Con?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Just a regular constructive event we had there.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I thought it was like thirty eight is where it landed. Okay,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: but maybe that was the other standard event. I will
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: go grab my note book and see how much I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: was able to scribble down while I do that. Felix,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: what did you do at gen Con?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: At gen Con this year?
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: I was helping out with the Altar booths as well,
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: and that was responsible in the learn to play section,
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: which is what I'm usually been doing the past year
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: or so at the conventions.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: So I felt right at home.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I also helped out a good bit.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: At the demo wing table, I was mainly judging drafts,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: so you know, break it out into pods of six
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: to eight and just help manage those little draft pods.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: But I helped out in the demo areas while teaching
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: some new players how to play.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: I got really into it to the point that Simon
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: had to kick me out because I wasn't taking my breaks.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Simon was making sure that everyone had plenty of
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: breaks time and that we all had at least two
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: hours of break every day, which you know, I was
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: working in and he's like, nope, you have.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: To leave, which is kind of funny.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's very nice. Two hours of breaks
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: did kind of feel like too much at certain points, Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: but when you've done like the opposite, it's super nice
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: to have those two different one hour breaks to be
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: able to, you know, use your first break to get lunch,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: eat or whatever and not have to hurry too much,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and then your second you can have a little more
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: look around the convention center and get to actually see things.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I think the year I did were.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: That's what I did during most of my brains as well,
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: just visit some of the other booths, I work with
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: some of the staff from the other booths that I've
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: worked with before, as well, saying hi to a bunch
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: of familiar faces, being called a trader here and there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: The Universes people were not very happy with you switching games.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: I'll be working with Universes and Packs Unplugged, so that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: already said at this point. But it was fun seeing
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: familiar faces.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: I was able to walk around to the booths, check
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: out the Ghost Galaxy booth, and there are two new
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: games they're making as well as Key Forge, Echo of
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Omens and Lord of the Rings game.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They're both new games. They'll probably be interesting.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Universes.
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: I checked rip Bound, I checked Pokemon, I checked a
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: bunch of really random here and there. I didn't stay
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: very long for a lot of the demos from all
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: the other games.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It was mostly just hanging out saying hi, Yeah, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: just have to I.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Mean, it's kind of a side note, but I I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: as what I've seen and what you told me and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: what I read about Echoes of Omens. I don't see
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: its draw or I don't see it lasting very long, unless,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: like when they announce more stuff, there's something else to it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: because honestly, just looking at it and reading about it,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it just looked like a a version of Gwent, which
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: people really like Gwent, But I mean Gwent already exists, so.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know what Gwent is.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I think the draw is going to be a lot
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: more retired net Runner players, yeah, because you know, that
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: game was big for a while, and even after the
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: game stopped being produced, the community stuck around. But it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: mostly fizzled out now from what I know. But now
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Echo of Omens is kind of similar to Netrunner, so
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: maybe it'll see a lot of those kinds of players
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: and people that played it way back when.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is what's interesting is Netrunner is still active
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: and there will also be the World Championship in October.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I have no idea, like if they put anything out
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: at all. I know that there was some kind of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you know, resurgence, and there is actually a little little
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: group at my local game store that plays it. But
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: that that is maybe a good point because it's like
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the asymmetrical gameplay, right, yes, yeah, so I don't know, maybe,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: but that's a different card game for a different podcast,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I guess. I am also included in being at gen Con.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I was also one of the judges, and then I
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: will admit I try to help out with demos as
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: little as possible because my voice just cannot do it
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and it'll kill my voice very quickly. But Felix was
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: definitely the superstar of the Learn to Play and Dexter
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: ran so many drafts as a judge, which honestly is
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: sometimes kind of the harder one to judge because you'll
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: get a lot more questions than constructed.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like the Starter Deck Challenge
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: had a lot more questions than the drafts would, even
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just because they're new players. We had we did have
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of new players this weekend and the first
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: two days it was it was somewhat frustrating having to
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: teach all of these people how to play when they
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: were like playing in the drafting events. You like, maybe
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: learn the rules a little bit before showing up to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: play in a tournament.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, there were a lot of players going straight from
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Learn to Play straight to drafting, and that was that
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: was cool, but chaotic, but cool.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I you're probably right. There are even more
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: questions in the Starter Deck tournament, but they are also
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: only set one, so I mean at least myself. I've
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: demoed those demo decks so many times that there's not
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a question that can come up I don't already know
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the answer to. But with things like the Chaos draft,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I know for sure that there's some interaction where I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: would have to double check or something before just knowing
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: the answer or one hundred weren't.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: For me in any of the drafts, which was great,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: but it definitely could have happened.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: We sold out of starter decks straight from going through
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: to learn to plays and so on. Lots of people
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: going to BGA, so lots of people creating their altered accounts.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. It is very awesome to see how
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: quickly people connect with the game and they'll do a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: learn to play and then jump right into whatever else
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: they can. We also, basically every convention have at least
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: like two or three people that they had almost no
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: idea what the game was. They came and learned it,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: and then they come back like every day for another event.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Like Felix said, sold out of starter decks every single convention.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: We always sell out of starter decks, even before the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: last day, and no matter how many times we tell
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: people to send more they're like, ah, you don't need
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: that man anymore. Every time, they said every time. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: one of the other things going on was a two
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: v two tournament, which has become kind of like a
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: small little cult following of an event. There's a group
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: of players like Infinite and his wife, a guy trying
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: even all of the marbles. I think usually competes in
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the TV twos as well. Dax sometimes, like I think,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: drives to a convention just to play in a couple events,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: but I think this one maybe missed the TWOV two. Anyways,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: real quick rundown of those decks if you're interested. These
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: are teams so Tasia and Traced, Siggy and a Fauness,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Lindy and Siggy, Waru and Our June, Saudi and Bassira,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Siggy and Waru, ur Rock and a Fawness and Bassira
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and Akesha and I think the Warrio and the r
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Jun one I'm ninety percent sure that they they won.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: The war deck was very interesting, or there's another Warrio.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: It might have been the Sigi and Waru.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: All I know is did get first place?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that sounds more like it now that uh.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Wars.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: There was a war in Our June and then Siggy
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and wars Okay, I think it was Yeah, it was
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the Ciggy and Warrio. But for the big, big constructed event,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I think I have the top eight and then the
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: hero breakdown. So I'll try to rattle rattle through this
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: super quick. Uh. There were two traced players to Basira
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: one Tasia to a Faunis three Novenka, one goal Ring
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: two Lindaway three, Sigismar one Fen four Kojo one Subash
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: to Our June one Sierra three at Sadi and one
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Rin and the conversion to top eight was Siggi Otsadi
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Asira a Faunas Our June Asira, Novenka Novenka, and the
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: finals was a Novenka mirror match, which is actually on
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the a Wall YouTube if you want to go rewatch
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: most of it. Oh because the phone.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: The phone iPhone died at the end.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but two very good Navenka decks going head
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: to head, so was pretty cool. And some of those players,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I think maybe only two went to Dallas. I think
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: night Song, well no for three four. I think like
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: four or five of those top eight went to Dallas,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: so that's also cool.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Really, I didn't realize was that many.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Was most surprised by there being so many r Junes
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and what is this two r Junes? Yep, uh, one
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: of them seen r June.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Like ever, I should really find out what her discord
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: name is. I'm not even sure if she's in the discord.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: But Infinite's wife played our June for a lot of
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: gen Con and then also in Dallas, and I think
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: after Dallas she was like, all right, time, it's time
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: to give up on our June and maybe go back
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to Tasia. So mm hmm uh, yeah, we're we're kind
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: of flying through it here because it was two weeks
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: ago now two and a half three, I don't even
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: know where we're at. And uh, we're also going to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: talk about Dallas. But Felix and or Dexter, was there
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: anything else that stood out to you guys as this
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: was your first time working with altered for gen Con.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: For fun, talking was fun talking to Francois, Yeah, that
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: was cool.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was cool seeing Loki and Francois there for sure,
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: seeing all the Equinox stuff. Just hanging out with people
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: was fun.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: We got a new Halluah token and got people got
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: those six oversized cards to various ways.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four of them were given away at gen Con
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and and then two were not claimed Moyo and Cowie.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: And those were given out at Dallas because Justin was
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: at gen Con and then also was that Dallas. Justin
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: is currently the He used to be like the Organized
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Play Director of North America, but then his title changed
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: to like Marketing Director of North America. Either way, super
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: cool dude was also there, also, great to talk to. Yeah,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: it was great to meet Francois. That was my first
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: time meeting him as well. It's really cool to talk
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: to the game designers. We did get to I think
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: all three of us got to see some Skybound Odyssey cards, right, Yes,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: I did not know Felix. You see, you were I
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: was learning to play. I was learned to play. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: was teaching seven people at a time. Sometimes it was like, yeah,
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I was busy, Yeah you were.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: You were too hooked into it. But the game, the
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: game was better off for it. And we we won't
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: go into why you had to work so much harder,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: but yeah, you did a great job.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: So I had a ton of fun doing it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: So yes, when it comes to conventions, and stuff like that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: The learned to plays have always been something that I
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: enjoy the most.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that is good to hear. I wish we
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: could have done some more like stream stuff. It's it's
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: a lot harder than I think people realize. And the
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: companies that you see actually do like live streams from
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: gen Con and things like that, they are spending a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: lot of money, are a very specific stream setup area
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: and with altered it's usual. Our entire area is all
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: four games, like all the time. Like at any one time,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: there's always learned to plays going. There's probably two different drafts,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: sometimes three. Very often there was a starter deck tournament
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: or two at a time, and then off and on
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: it was either two v two or a standard tournament
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that was also happening. The only time there wasn't all
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: of those running at once was when the standard tournaments
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: didn't fire at certain periods. We also talked with you know,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Justin and Loki about how things went and what changes
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: we would make. The really hard thing is for gen Con,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: you have to submit your events so far in advance
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: that anything we learned from previous conventions couldn't be enabled.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: So and there's the Wookie.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I the Wookie has arrived.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: What is that.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Power and internet that today is.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: He can do the actual intro half way through?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Yees.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So these storms are crazy, guys, Banana ramas all
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: the crazy. I'm all done with that. If y'all would
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: like to take away these storms.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: And I mean, I was gonna say storm in Texas today,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: not in my area, which means it is coming to me.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Next, I'm told, And I don't know because I don't
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: pay attention, and so I guess y'all could tell me.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I know you guys are talking probably about gen Con
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: and the w c q's and all that good stuff. Yep,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I'm told that my little small town where I live
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: has been on the news lately. I don't want because
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: of the all of our storms and all that jazz.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with no because nobody everybody's like, yeah,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen anything.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah I do. I do not watch the general news either.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it was crazy. So I'll give and
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: see you this story. So I was I was driving
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: down it's called Highway Q right. It's just because I
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: live in the sticks kind of. I live in Milwaukee.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: But I'm I'm in a more rule part of Milwaukee,
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: right and it's a highway called Highway Q. Well, it
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: was underwater. The whole highway was underwater. That's where like
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: all of our like your McDonald's is there, Your Burger
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: King's there, like all your fast food and kind of
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: a couple sit down places. They're all shut down.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Oh what about a waffle house?
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Though I don't have waffle house?
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Sorry, but okay, I was gonna say, if you have
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: a waffle house and it was shut down, then we
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: know it's like true apocalypse times.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Does Denny's count Nah? No, probably get a.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Waffle house tier level storms.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, yeah, nothing here. Yeah, It's it's crazy. The
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: river is like all the way to the street right
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: like and it's I mean, you're talking. That's I would
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: put it in feet, but I don't even know like
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: how to put it, Like that's hundreds and hundreds of
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: feet the river away from the road and now it's
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: all the way to the road. Roads are shut down,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: businesses are shut down. And finally we had like a
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: couple of days of reprieve and then it came back.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: It's that sounds like.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Great.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: It was like three days and things were finally getting
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: back to normal, and then it was like, well, pulled
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: my beer and it came back.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Well, we're glad that you're here with us.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: We were just about at the end of gen Con,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: but now we can go totally off the rails and
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: not have any structure and have a ton chaos by
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: asking you. As a quick side note, we did talk
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a little bit about Echoes of Omens because Dexter spent
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: some of his free time to check it out. To me, sure,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: from what he showed and what I read in the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Arcons Corner discord, it does not have anything like exciting
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: or out of the ordinary, and it's a new IP
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: and it's like generic fantasy. To me, it looks like
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: a not as interesting gwent so far.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: So if you know, I haven't gotten too. I didn't
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: get to do anything with it. For it, I had
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: requested like some demo decks from Jeremy who is there
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: their quote unquote marketing guy Jeremy recording this right because
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you'll say, I don't Jeremy one. Jeremy Jeremy two is
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: the guy who worked very heavily on Star Wars Universe yep. So,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: and you know hearing about it, I was like, I'll
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: give it a shot. You know, I'm a card game player, right, Yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Felix probably understands the itch to like, oh new card game,
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: I'll give it a shot. Yeah. Right. And then I
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: was told, uh, like that there's not really a shareable
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: rules thing yet. Oh that's good, and they're not sending
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: didn't feel it be worth to send us anything right now,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: even though you know we've known and worked and done
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: a lot with these guys since like the beginning. But
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: he's going to reach out, you know, when they have something.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess it's a matter of when
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: they are expecting to launch their game Found. Well, whatever they.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Do, Game Found I think is going to launch at
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: the end of this year. For that, I think.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: If you're launching a game Found at the end of
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: this year, you should probably maybe.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Have how I was going to say, it's not how FFG,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: that's not how gig works, as much as I say
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: that's just there vary by the seat of their pants. Yeah, right,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: like this is. I don't want to say it's not
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: well thought out and well done or anything like that.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: It might be I know certain things that I can't
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: share because of what I've heard from other people. I
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: don't know, I want to give away, like, oh, here's
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: here's what I know, and then they can find that person.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: But it's been testing for about a ish. Let's see,
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: what was KFC last year. That was November, right, so
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: at least eight months, and that's kind of it. Like
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: it's gone through many iterations. I've heard things like this
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: is very much like uh Android Netrunner, Yeah, which was
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: another one of CTPS or Christian T. Peterson's games that
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: they came out with long ago. It just I don't know,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: it's just it's again the dudes had a history, right,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: and it's not if you know anything about Fantasy flight games,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: it's not great. Yeah, I mean if that makes sense.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to bring it full circle, background to Altered, they
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: were doing road shows before the Kickstarter was even live.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: And I part of the marketing, right.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know before that even they were testing with
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: people at conventions and I think there was like a
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: little preview thing at the Gen Con before the Kickstarter.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, they did the road shows because I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: did road shows leading up to the Kickstarter, and I
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: think as early as that time they had had the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: demo decks or the starter decks available to be printed
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: and anyone could play, and they were also on TTS
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: and Riftbound is doing the exact same thing. Like Riftbound's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: been on TTS for like a year now.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, yeah, yeah, So I mean that's
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: interesting gen Con I I didn't go the main thing
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: I did, you know, if you know anything, CTP used
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: to own Fantasy Flight Games before he was offered a
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: truck of money and then he sold it, so you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: then he stayed on as the whatever like the head
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: of Fantasy Flight Games and then eventually left the form
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Ghost Galaxy, which is you know now what it is.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: So it's just it's it's it's a lot of stuff
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: that comes out, and I compare it a lot too
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: altered just because of the size of the teams, and
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: it's like you see what one size of the team
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: is able to accomplish, and you see what a very
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: similar sized team is able to accomplish. And it runs
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: into very very interesting like things of how how teams
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: are led and what they consider important and what they
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: can what they consider I guess again they are not important, right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: It's it's two very different things which is very interesting
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: to watch because there are two very similar teams. You know,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: there may be a person or two between them. You know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: this has one person that says, you know, one more,
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: one less. But in the end, they're very two similar
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: sized teams and you have one one area. You know,
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: quite con I forgot, and I know you guys are
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: getting into that. How many people did you guys have
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: at the w c Q at quite kind I thought
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I heard like sixty something?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, actually yeah, actual competitors. I think we were supposed
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to have like sixty to sixty three, but we had
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: some uh some things going on that we'll we'll talk
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: about when we get there. But yeah, and the winner
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: of that event gets a paid trip to Paris for
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: the world. So we're what.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: We're No, it was today that got the top two,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: right as I was saying it was today, the top
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: two today? Is the hasn't finished? Yes, yeah, well, I
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: mean yeah, I wouldn't imagine it did because it was
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: like twelve hundred players, right, yep, eleven fifty I think yep.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: If you are not if you're not counting drops, yeah,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: it was one something. But top cut is tomorrow.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, how many when you count you always
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: go from start of day, right, So.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of people, a lot, yes, And I
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: was saying, we'll probably dive more in depth into that
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: event on the next episode since it's still finishing. But
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: all things considered, with that many people all on board
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Game Arena for the biggest tournament and event board game
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: arena has ever seen, all things considered, it went pretty well.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Nothing crashed, huh uh crashed?
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: No, lagged a little bit, yes, but I mean, I mean,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: we take it.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: It lagged a little bit. You will lay out one
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: thousand percent take over like oh the whole site shut down? Oops? Yeah,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: because that happens too.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I thought I had the chellonge for the Dallas event,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: but I left the discord. Are you still in there, Dexter?
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I left the discord as well.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just there's been so many discords for all
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the tournaments that I left it. But while while we're talking,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: I'll see if I can find it. Then we can
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: get some exact numbers. But yeah, uh, we well, Dexter
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: and I were there. Felix abandoned us for some pigs
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: or something, for.
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: Some responsible animals. Yeah, yeah, dropped to me on last notice.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I got there Friday night at like five pm.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: Coal and Blue had already pretty much finished setting up
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: all the streaming set up, so I was able to
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: be there, hang out, watch a draft, and then play
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: with Cole's weird, terrible deck that he drafted.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It was a cube, right, A draft.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: That was the unique Clube.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, unique Cube draft with Cari.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so I played Yours was an RRAC that it
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: triggered like maybe once every game it was not.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: It was not going.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Good bad.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: The didn't.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: You don't play would you don't play draft to win?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: You played draft to have fun.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Your deck was very interesting and there were a few
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: times where I got some good lines out, but it
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: did not do anything crazy good.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Well, it was definitely a interesting cube. It was not
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: a normal cube. It's pretty much bonkers because it is.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: It's yeah, like a high.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: High amount of uniques, which was a ton of fun
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: just reading through the uniques. But I rejoined the discord
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: to see if I could find the challenge and I
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: got it. It's not challenge though, it's melee, same thing,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: much different. Now I'll leave it again and everyone will
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: be like what are you doing? But yeah, Dallas, I
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: got to the convention center I think I like two
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: pm or something, and was just kind of helping set up.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I have never I had never been to the gay
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Lord Resort before. It is super nice and it is expensive,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: but not like outrageously expensive. I think it was in September,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: like three hundred and twenty a night or something.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: To actually stay there.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which is for like it being a resort.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Was pretty cool. The parking, my god, the parking.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Parking was awful.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Screwed me. I literally have to sell party day whatever.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: I found out that Skeeter was able to get validation
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: for one day and he had to like ask someone
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: about it and they're like, we're not really supposed to,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: but uh yeah, here you go. And I kept I
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: kept thinking how I really wanted to figure out if
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: they would freaking validate us, and I just I just
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: didn't end up doing it. I was also sick the
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: whole time, which was great. So if you watched the
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: stream back, you can definitely tell I'm struggling. I'm glad
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: that people couldn't tell as much as I thought that
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: my nose was just red and raw, because people were like, oh,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I couldn't even tell and I'm like, well, I felt
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: like I looked like absolute shit.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: So thanks, Yeah, you couldn't tell I got I didn't
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: get into the till the top eight was streaming, and
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: then I was kind of, you know, poking around back
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: and forth because I not only was I was doing that,
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: I was also trying to get some other stuff done.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, now you didn't I couldn't tell you were sick.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: I was kind of like, God, what's going on with call? Like,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: is the little camera making them a little shy? Yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: you know, it happens, you know, a little camera shy.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: And then when you're like, yeah, I'm not feeling good,
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that might actually makes way more sense.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we made it through. I did find the melee.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: It looks like we ended up with sixty one people
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: being actually put into the bracket, but that's.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Not what happened. No, what do you mean because the
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: security thing?
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so there there are people who didn't really play,
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: and I am very sorry to I believe. I don't
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: want to say the user name wrong, but I'm pretty
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: sure it's n Panzi's. Yeah, Nanzis I think they were
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: they were leaving because of what happened, and they were
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: trying to find me to say hi, but it was
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: one of the moments where I was going to the
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: bathroom to blow my nose, and I think I missed them,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: So I'm sorry. And the event, dexter, did you did
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you hear full information on that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Nope? I never actually understood what was going on. I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: heard bomb threat at one point.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so every everyone was fine? What Yeah, I did
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: hear every Everyone inside the center was fine. It was
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: seemingly like everything was normal from what we could tell,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: but people who didn't arrive early enough in advance, it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: Was like after nine to forty that this happened, so
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: like twenty minutes before the tournament started.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we started getting some messages in discord and it
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: started with like there's a really big security line and
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: it's not moving, and from every other time we had
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: gone through security, it was like incredibly fast because this
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: is not this is not like a gen Con or something.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It was to bring your own computer event basically. And
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: then you know, there were I think four players that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: had to miss at least one game, maybe two, and
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Dorvian might be able to tell us how many games
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: they missed because unfortunately.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know Nancy and Panzi's didn't get there until
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: like the middle of round.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Three, Okay, Yeah, and it's very unfortunate. I wish I
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: would have been able to to talk to them before
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: they left. I know it's upsetting, and I get why
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: they left, but if they came up from Houston. And
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: also I'm pretty sure she got a bye so before
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: being dropped, I think she was one and two. I
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: would have been like, just play and try to get
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: top thirty two, because then you know, you'll get some
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: stuff from top thirty two. But yeah, I guess we
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: found out a little later that there was a bomb threat,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: and the only thing that we saw inside is they
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: also brought the dogs around, and they stopped by like
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the casting area for a little bit and the dog
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: was sniffing around. Someone said, I really hope that someone
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: in this tournament didn't, you know, call in a bomb
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: threat to get an advantage, which would be.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Insane, that would be crazy.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but but we will we will never know, and
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: and Dorvian said, yeah, they lost two rounds almost three
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: fifty seconds left on the clock, so yeah, rather unfortunate.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure if they would have been there like
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: thirty or forty minutes earlier. It wouldn't have been an
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: issue because everyone inside everything was fine, operating as normal.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Yep, yeah, this is one of those weird situations. Now, Dexter,
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: you've now seen it both ways, right, Well, you've seen
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: it both ways, right, So this is this is an
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: issue with timing, right, this is this is probably this
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: is Altered's first real like large event right where there's
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: something actually on the line.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Right on in France, right well, States, Yeah, in the States.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: This is the first big one in the States.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, you had your you had your event. Was it
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: a z Q last dear yeah, game.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, last event it's a Game Gamers Guild Arizona GG.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah. And so like you know, you've seen now
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: both ways, right, You've seen one tournament structure say hey,
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: if something's happening X y Z, we're going to give
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: players time, and you've now seen one where it's like nope,
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: we got to move right like this is this is
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: It will.
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: Still start like twenty to thirty minutes late for the
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: first round. But that's just kind of how it panned out,
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: which is like normal when a big tournament's gonna start Anyways.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, you can ask Felix for
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: a large scale tournaments such as this, that's kind of normal.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: You expect there to be a delay, right, Like starting
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: you're probably going to aren't late, right, no matter what
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: game it is, like key Forge, it might be like
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: three hours late, you know where, Like this was like
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: you know because well, because if this was key Forge, right,
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: they would have stopped everything and been like, well, we're
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: gonna wait for everything because it's not fair for all
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: those who aren't here. And it's like, well for all
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: of us who did.
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Five people that were missing, Yeah, but we didn't we
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: didn't know how many were actually missing, like at the
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: time of starting it, and we had like a good
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: number of our players, So.
• 45:31
  Speaker 6: Sure is I think of the Universe's regional that I
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: was judging. I think about a week before gen Con,
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: and we started about an hour or two late because
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: Cardio crashed and it wouldn't allow us to start. And
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: later during the day somebody had a seizure so we
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: had to stop for a moment. Then we had a
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: fire alarm go off, everyone had to evacuate.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Jesus was all at one one day.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I was we we at when we ran KeyForge Live.
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: That was like, so we for for key Ford, we
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: ran one large scale event at the end of the
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: pandemic when it was like hey you guys, can you
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: know kind of you can leave your houses now? Yeah, legit,
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: like we we ran an event on our own dime
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: because we didn't know what was going on. So we're like,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: we're going to run an event. Yeah, somebody pulled the
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: fire alarm. We don't know who, but somebody pulled the
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: fire alarm and we all had to evacuate.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it was rather unfortunate, but where it was
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: a tournament contained entirely within one day, so it was
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: seven rounds of Swiss and then top top cut. It's
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: just if we waited the we would have been there
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: to almost midnight. And especially when you're in a convention
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: as it's like part of it convention in a convention center,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: you also have like a time where you have to
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: be out. So unfortunately that we couldn't. We couldn't delay
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: any longer than how long it took to initially set up. Yeah,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: very unfortunate.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: What yeah, what are the decks looking like for that one?
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so I was just gonna say once again
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: sorry to everyone that came out and then had an
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: unfortunate experience, but it was great to see all of
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: you and meet a bunch of you that have been
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: active in the discord. For your top eight, I'll start
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: at the bottom so we can have some fanfare to
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: number one. In eighth place was Vint six, with Kojo
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: and Buddha in seventh. I mean I think like third
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: to actually, no, this should this should if I reference
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: side by side, oh, I'll know because top Cut is different. Anyways,
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I'll just I'll just say it like it's eighth to first,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: but it there's you know, Swiss and Top Cut in
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: matching and blah blah blah blah blah. But Silas, which
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: was our lone player all the way from France, Go Usa,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: go Usa on a Faunas and Senka Infinite was on
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: a Faunas in Senka, Darth Fumbles on gol ring and
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: toxin symbiosis on Linda Way and Ma and then really
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: really big props. One of the big stories of the
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: weekend was Phobia in third place on at Saudi Surge.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Bobia is part of the DFW crew, also a high
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: schooler as we call him and probably the most experienced
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: at Saudi player in the world, especially now, so super
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: cool to see them get top three and then Belta
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: shazzar Aka not a piece of meat on Kojo and Buddha.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: And then the winner was It's Rinku from Team a
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: q Z on Kojo and Buddha.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: So very both Saudi and goul Ring making it into
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: top up.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Eight area and no Siggy in America we defeated, We
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: defeated all of the sigis Mars in USA.
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: It's super interesting to look at this because you have
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: a couple of results, right, you have Leo is up
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: and you can check that out Netherlands. Right, you can
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: see the Netherlands results, different regions having very different metas,
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: right and very strange. Like Netherlands, your top four was
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: what a couple of a Finances and a Kojo and
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: a SI there.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Were two offices and they both were lost. Babe.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I just clicked up in Netherlands, two Siggy's
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: and a Finnas and a Coojo and then lel I
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: think we talked about Lele yeah to a Finas as
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: a trace in an Avenka, Germany.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: I would have run traced, but no one else was
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: doing it.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Germany have as as a trade. I'm sorry, three offs
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: isn't a trace, which I don't know if Germany it's
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: so you had your Germany which you finally post the results.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Germany was the final straw to
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: the finals. Errata to that, I'm saying it's too much. Yeah, I.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Think he was on the watch list for a while,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what really said it over the edge.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: I know they usually take like an aggregate of information. Uh,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: they also get all the information on like board game
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: arena games and you know, win rate of heroes, win
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: rate of cards, YadA YadA. So yeah, he was, he
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: was in the crosshairs for a little. Really, I think
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: one of the it might not be the main thing,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: but one of the things that stands out to me
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: about this top eight in Dallas is every single player,
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: except for maybe Darth Fumbles. I'm not sure if Colton
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: plays as much, but every single player in this top
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: eight frequents the online tournaments pretty often. And there has
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: been a little bit of a under value on BGA
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: tournaments and things like that in Europe, Like I've literally
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: seen people say that, you know, like it's not comparable
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: to in person player tournaments at all, But all of
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: these players stood out above the rest, and they are
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: basically all people who play online very often.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, getting a lot of practice in is going to
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: make you do better, build better, next, better results.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Typically, if you're playing online a lot, you probably also
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: play in person a lot. It's just kind of these
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: things go hand in hand typically, right, like this aren't
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: this isn't this isn't Like, uh, what's the word I'm
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: looking for? I don't know what the word I'm looking
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: for is. That's just that's just a typically like if
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: you're an online player a lot, you play, you play
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: in person a lot, right, And a lot of that
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: comes down to like, you know, triggers and stuff like that,
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: and just knowing knowing your deck, knowing what you're doing.
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: Having an experience against a lot of other deck archetypes
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: as well, and knowing how to play into.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: The good and good and or bad too, right, because
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: there's plenty of bad decks out there as well, so
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: knowing both like how to defeat good and bad is
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: is important.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it'll be very interesting when the first online
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: qualifier finishes to see what the like. Conversion of players
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: that are seen a lot is verse ones that maybe
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: only play in person. Very very cool to see. Yeah,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: unfortunate there was a bomb threat, but everyone is fine.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: Way to go America for you know, keeping us looking
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: great and sane. And yeah, it was a good event
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: despite being sick. Cool to see some more people. Quake
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: con is weird. I don't know why it still exists.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: There hasn't been people like video games.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but there I mean, there hasn't been a new
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: quake since like twenty seventeen.
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: That means nothing. StarCraft two is still like a hot
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: hot game to this day. Yeah, they still have giant
• 54:58
  Speaker 4: StarCraft events.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: No it's not the last one. No, the last one
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: did not keep up very well.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: It was cool though. The the b Yoc area was
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: super cool and I I don't know if the resort
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: is affordable for a convention or what, but it was nice.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: And I guess there was an upstairs that I had
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: never even went to, and they had a cat cafe
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: and I did not go to the cat cafe, So
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: that's upsetting Cole.
• 55:32
  Speaker 5: I just now realized what b Yoc stands for. I
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: don't know how I never thought, oh that means.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Bring your own computer. I thought that was just a
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: random arrangement of letters.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: That is that is why sir from Altered Corner, Lady in.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: John, that is why there was a room that had
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: basically like a thousand PCs in it.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: Yep, because everyone yep, yep.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, but that was gen Con and Dallas uh, which
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: was what we mainly wanted to catch up on. There's
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of stuff going on, but we will have
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: future episodes on them. A new set is coming out soon.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: It's already very exciting. Spoiler siege it Spoiler season should
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: start early next month. And the next part of this
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: totally structured podcast would be to answer a Patreon question.
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: I realized question, are you did you guys go into
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: the afanas arata now rata kind of now.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: We did not, but if you guys want to.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Well if this is more of a question for me, right, okay,
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: And I don't know, like I meant card games for
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: a long time, and I know at one time I
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: really applied to them for like, hey, when we're having
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: balancing issues, right, we're gonna go ahead and take care
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: of that, we're gonna go ahead and fix that. And
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: to a player such as myself right, who is not
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: the competitive spirit on altered at all? Right, I am more,
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: I am, I am, I am your filthy casual right.
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: How many? I mean? Obviously you saw a lot of
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: people there who were there for for the for the
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: very high end event, right about sixty or so people.
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: Did you have any players that were newer there that
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: are like, hey, you know, I kind of found this
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: game and I was interested, and I was in the
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: area and I was traveling, and so I'm here to compete.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any there.
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: That was a lot more of the case at gen Con,
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: but I didn't really see that at this uh quake
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: Con event because all the other people that are there
• 57:58
  Speaker 5: for quake Con are for like video game computer stuff,
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: so they probably don't care as much about board game stuff.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: I think, sure, yeah, I think every person that actually
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: competed was like there to compete, whether they were super
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: hardcore competitive or not. There was probably a good variance,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Like there are definitely people who attended that knew they
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: weren't going to win, and that was exactly what they said.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: There were some people that wandered in from the convention
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: though that then learned how to play the game and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: bought starter decks and things like that.
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: Off.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Honest, it was the last time before the rata was
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: actually in effect, so it wasn't really a topic of
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: conversation other than like people saying, this is the last
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: time I can play with the funness how it is
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: like now, so I'm gonna do it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just weird, right, And I don't know if
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously they knew it was coming, so maybe
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: a lot of people had been messing around with Kojo,
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: you know, but it's just it's getting to that point
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: where I'm kind of like, huh, there's a lot of
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: a rot or at least it feels that way to
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: the casual player. Me being the casual player. There's a
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: lot of eratas.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: It's a lot less than other games, but I would
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: agree that it's more than I would want at this
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: point in the game.
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: That well, that's my point, right, Like, there's a lot
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: of other games that have a lot of eratas. And
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: maybe Felix can shed a little bit of light on this,
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: since he's more into newer games than say me, I
• 59:51
  Speaker 4: used to play a lot, a lot of card games
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: all at the same time. And now I've kind of
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: I've stuck to a handful and that's as far as
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: I've gone. It is super tough to keep up, even
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: having a podcast, super tough to keep up with what
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: the hell is going on and altered expect with all
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 4: these eratas. You know again now it's like it almost
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: feels like the hero should be the one thing they
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: don't want to touch as much, right, unless it's absolutely necessary.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 5: I would prefer if they never touched Waru or a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 5: Fawness and just well, I think doing the hero is
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 5: too much.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. But in this case, if it
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: made sense, it made sense.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: And doing this is easier than having to do seventeen
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: different yizmeer cards just to make a Fawness not busted.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't even do that well at Dallas,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, is it really necessary.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: I well, you could have a lot of people preparing
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: for that too, right where they're like, well, a Finess
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: is out, you know, but but there's always a new boogeyman.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 4: Right when Wauru finally got the acts right, a Finess
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: became the new it took It took a little while, right,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 4: it took a little while, but that a finess became
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 4: the new boogeyman. I am assuming now with a finess
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: going right now being more or less feeling new to now? Now?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: Is is Kojo the new Boogeyman? Is that where we're
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: headed now? I don't know.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: Uh, Kojo, Kojo and Siggi are basically untouchable in the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: way of like hero ability because their identity is so
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: straightforward and specific. I don't I don't think you can
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: really change it.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: There could be changes to cards and things like that.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Hot hot take time, though.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I think war and a faunas are still super playable,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: and today prove that because guess who's in the top
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: cut wau uh And there is still plenty of a
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: fauness as well. I'm sure there's a couple in the
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: top cut from is this.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: The top sixteen? Is the top cut?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: From this?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Top thirty two, Top thirty, top thirty one? Sorry one
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: player got a back, Oh yeah yeah, but I so.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: My My thing that I've always said and I think
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: is still very true is players over react to erratas,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: so they basically just drop the hero entirely, and then
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: a couple months later people come out playing the hero
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: doing really well and everyone's like, wait, I thought that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: hero was dead, uh.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Traced you know, had did exactly that exactly.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Wau is coming back now a funess will
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: be just fine. As for new players, I don't know.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: I think with heroes that can become an issue.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: But I'm just at a point now where like I
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: am a new player, I pick up a starter deck
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: and it's kind of very possible now that the hero
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: that I pick up is no no longer the hero
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 4: I am playing.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: The only don't find that is Osma.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 5: I think none of those I don't think they'll ever
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: moalify the starter deck heroes.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is another thing.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: All of the starters those abilities are very basic and
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: they are easy to understand that they're not overpowered.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm saying now, but I guess the new starter
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: decks are going to have the new heroes, aren't they.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: No, there won't be any started decks.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: I thought they were coming out with starter decks for
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: this new set with the new hero, not for this
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: new set, but.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: But maybe later Yeah if it's been announced whin.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah maybe maybe start. Yeah, maybe maybe another time possibly,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: who knows. I definitely don't, but yeah, the the good
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: it is a good thing. All of the starter deck
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: heroes are the same, and it is not very common
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: that a new player will pick either a Funness or
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Waroo and Trace is basically the same. They just changed Haven.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It comes down to Waro was literally
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: turning people away from the game, so I think it
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: was a net benefit when they changed him. Same with
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Robin Hood Traced maybe almost in the same realm, but
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: not as bad and a Funest. I think definitely started
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: to get there where people literally quit the game because
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: they just did not enjoy playing against those heroes or cards.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: So it's probably a net benefit. And I I love ratas.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: I think they're exciting and open up, like new opportunities
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: and new meta. But I'm crazy, So.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah they do. I'm not saying they don't, but I
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: just it's a lot towards the new. You know, again,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: as much as you know this game is still kind
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: of small, it's not as it's not a huge massive game,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: right like you had sixty people competing for a chance
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: at a trip to France. You know, it's kind of
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: a big prize for sixty people to be competing for.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 6: Now today in the few moments ago. It's one of
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 6: the few scenarios where I've seen a game having a
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 6: world qualifying regional type of event any convention that requires
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 6: a second entry fee.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: No, Pokemon definitely bans that. Pokemon does not allow running
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: any sort a competitive championship event at a convention, and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 6: Universes also moved away from that.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah that is yeah, I mean it's it's it's a
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: difficult thing, right because, like you're asked to pay for
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: a convention fee, and that also asked to pay for
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: an entry fee, right. So yeah, I know a lot
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: of card games don't like that because it's just it's
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: an added cost that it kind of it makes people
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: who are may have wanted to come not either shy
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: away from it or not want to come, or not
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: be able to afford it, or you know, whatever the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: case may be.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: Notably, it was the cheapest event to attend though even
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: with that considered.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: So.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: I was the cheapest event at the convention.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so all you needed for the convention to get
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: in was a fan ticket, which was fifteen bucks, and
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: then for the actual event, I think it was you
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: paid for it, didn't you, Dexter.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: It was like twenty five or thirty, and Canada more
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: than thirty. Canada, I think is fifty dollars just by itself,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: and same with a lot of the other European events.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Apix in the live chat says twenty five dollars. So yeah,
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: total of forty bucks. It is the cheapest one to
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: attend out of all of them until you got there
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: and found out how much parking costs. But until then
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: you had no idea that parking was freaking robbery.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: Honest, thirty five dollars is not right, that's common. Yeah.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: So the thing is is, I would agree if it
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: was in and out parking, it was not.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: What do you mean in and out parking? What is that?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: It would say.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: So they had it, They had it listed at basically
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: an hourly or you could end up paying for twenty
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: four hours. It wasn't like you could say, okay, I'm
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: going to pay for the whole day and then go
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: in and out of the garage. It was if you
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: were in the garage for like two hours or more,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: you were paying thirty dollars. And then if you left
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: and did it again, you were paying another thirty dollars.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: So you had to pay thirty dollars. Okay, so yeah
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: that is kind of crazy. Well maybe it isn't. I
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 4: don't know. I can't remember. So I remember when I
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: went to gen Con a couple of years ago, it's
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: forty dollars to park for the whole day. I don't remember.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: If you laugh, did you have to pay again?
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: I probably will never remember again because after that, like,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: we did a whole different thing for that for the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 4: past couple of years.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there was supposedly a lot that was only
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: eight dollars to park in and then they had a
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: shuttle that would bring you over. But working the event
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: carrying like a lot of stuff, it was a little
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: a little hard for me personally to do. I had
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: like deck boxes and a backpack full of a bunch
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: of stuff and blah blah blah. And also I just
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: didn't feel good. So uh, yeah, I'll be uh, I'll
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: be selling some stuff to pay for my time out there.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: If anyone's interested, you know, let me know. But yeah,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: it was, it was good. It was a cool event. Yeah,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: the one, the one in Canada is sixty dollars, so
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: sixty dollars Canada, the Nadian.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: Money, Cannada, Nadian money.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: Yep, and then that that doesn't that doesn't include anything else.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was just a good opportunity for the store,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: and the goal was to have over two hundred players.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Unfortunate that did not happen. But I mean the event
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: this weekend had twelve hundred players basically, huh So, yeah,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: it's ah, there are the players. There are a lot
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: of players.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: It's just where all divisibility is something that they definitely
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 6: need them just in general, it's just a puzzle that
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 6: needs to be fixed.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: Well in Texas, I know most places, and again Felix
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: probably Felix plays more competitive card games than any of
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: us here.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 6: But like ul much anymore now, But.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Competitive Pokemon stuff, I don't even think.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I made a Poogamon currently either I'm just running
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 6: a league and I casually universes. I don't play competitive either,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 6: I just play casually. Altered that play casually. I mean
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 6: I had ten garricks.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: I have ten garricks, I have ten of a band card. Yeah,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: but like a lot of places have moved away from
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: like Texas. Nothing against Texas but they just moved away
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 4: from Texas as.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: A whole big.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: It's too big, it's hard to navigate. U Flights in
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 4: and out aren't necessarily the cheapest unless you're talking about
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: Dallas than they.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it's bad everywhere else.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, and this wasn't in Dallas, right, was it?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: It was yeah. Yeah, So I.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: Compared to typically you'll see like an East coast which
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: you're seeing.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those are more expensive, though way more expensive.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: The flight's a little it's a little bit more expensive,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 4: but it's a little more accessible.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Like Pokemon Worlds is in Anaheim right now, and that
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: is crazy.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: I feel like Pokemon Worlds. There's a Pokemon Worlds every week.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know that might be me, but man, let
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: me tell you. Every time I'm poking around and I'm
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: doing stuff, it's it's another Pokemon world and it's like,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: what is going on here?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 4: They also I'm poking around on on on, you know,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 4: I got home today and we we we went to
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 4: the store and you know, I'm poking around on on
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 4: on on TikTok today and it's like, here's another Pokemon
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 4: Worlds thing going on. What the wasn't there just the
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: World last week.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, they also had one in Hawaii, which.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: They've had in Hawaii, They've had it in London, They've
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: gone to Tokyo as well.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I guess.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: Worldwide.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess World's versus Worlds. The altered event will
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: be in Paris.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: So these are just yes first one.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you get or how you get
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: to Worlds for Pokemon, and I don't know if they
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: cover any travel or anything.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: I think you have to qualify in a regional qualifier.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 6: Of points starings, and you have to be within a
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 6: certain threshold pretty much be the best person within a
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 6: certain age group.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 4: You have to be the very best. No one ever was.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Like, no one ever was pretty much pretty much.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: On that note, that was Dallas. Next would be Patreon,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: which I have to say, whoops. I thought we had
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: more questions to answer, but it looks like we answered
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: all of them. So look out for a new Patreon
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: post to ask us questions for next episode. It is
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: free to anyone who just goes to that post on

  Speaker 2: if you didn't already know, A Wall is hosting them,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: doing all of the tournament organization and the streaming as well,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: and I am a admin and one of the stream
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: team leaders over there, so I will be busy with those.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: And next weekend there's a Tumult Championship in Dallas at
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: common Ground Games. With how things have been before around
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: here in Dallas, that's probably the only one I would
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: bet on for our area. I know in Austin there
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: will be one at Wonko's, which will probably be on
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: a Monday, but not announced yet. And then Houston, the
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: only one that I know has an actually set date
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: is August thirtieth at Rooted Games. I'm sure Julio of
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: IGAs will put one up soon and we'll share that
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: information in the discord.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 6: And yeah, he's out of town this weekend, so he's
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 6: not able to check.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah did he did he order his kit?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: At least I'm not sure. I need to check with
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: him again.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 6: Okay, I think he received some information and then there
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 6: was some conflicting information, so I haven't checked with him again.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait until he comes back so we could check.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the good news is Mathiel today said that he
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: basically got his kit a day or two after requesting it,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: so shouldn't be an issue.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: I think the cutoff to actually like run the event
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: is September fifteenth or something like that, so you have time.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: And yeah, if you're considering driving up to Dallas for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: the event, you should do it. And I will drive
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: to Austin maybe possibly if I can. Might be hard
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: as I'm unemployed, So support us on Patreon because that
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: money actually doesn't go to me. It just makes sure
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: I don't use any of my own money to host
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: the website and everything else.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, support us on Patreon so Cole doesn't have to
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 4: support anything else.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: And that was That was much all I had planned. Oh,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: I guess kind of cool thing they were doing like
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: heroes of Altered thread in the main discord and mentioning
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: you know who people see as heroes have altered and
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: for what they contribute and everything. It's pretty much died down.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: But if you did not get a chance to nominate,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: do you do you want me to tell you how
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: many times I was mentioned versus other people. Yeah, yes,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: I will just say in the top three, nice, nicey nice.
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say everyone should go at the Wookie
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: and say Wookie and Magpen hoarders get them votes, and yeah,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: spoiler season should be coming up soon. Will be exciting
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: to see what's going on.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: Sure, journalists, Oh no, I was not on the list,
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: There's no way.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: He He doesn't talk enough anywhere.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: I don't do enough. I don't.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 5: I don't talk in the main server, which is probably
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 5: where most of these were coming from.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: I don't talk in the main server either. And it's
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: just because there's so there is so much that goes
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: on in that server. I cannot keep track. Yep, Like, oh,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: I I poke in there every now and again. I'm
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: just terrified to say anything because like you go in
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: there and it's just like like it's overwhelming. Honestly, there's
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: like and it's the server is so big, right, Like
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: it's just like compared to like some of the other servers.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess AC is that big too. It's
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: just is altered. Corner and Arcons Corner have like over
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: time been so like they've morphed, right and where they
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 4: used to be really small, and all of a sudden,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 4: there's all these people in here. Now it's now, it's
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: not it's just like I come in here and I'm like,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: I don't want to say things. I don't really know
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: what's going on.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Right, it's mostly larks, but in the main server there's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: too many people to talk.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna say, it's it's very uh cute
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: of Luki to compare Arcons Corner with like six hundred
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: people to Altered TCG official discord that has like four
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: thousand thousand.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 4: Well, like it's just it's I'm a tiny show, right,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 4: Like nobody's buying my product. I guess some people are,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: you know, like yeah, right, yeah, it's all weekend. Oh
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 4: was he really?
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I was Jerseys? Yeah, the bright yellow one nice and
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: you had a great yeah the gray one as well.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: You had to ask us out shirt on.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: No, the old gray one.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know, so okay, Yeah, and uh you know
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: number one kind of fun you call. We have forty people, right.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Listen. I I probably talk in Arcon's corner more than
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: what he does. So it's basically my second home.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: That might be possible.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 4: It's it's actual probable. It's actually probable because again, there's
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 4: so much that goes on in my own I pok
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: in from time to time. I wouldn't say never, but.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: Like he's he's an old man with a job.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, job, the job, And like I'm not in a
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 4: job where like sheep, isn't a job where he could
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: just you know, like pop up in his phone like
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: I could. Right, like my job, I guess I don't
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 4: want to say what allow me to, but like I'm
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of the boss, right.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: It's hard when you're in sales to just.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not in sales, but like I'm on my phone

  Speaker 4: all day, every day, busy, busy, busy, right, Like I'm
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 4: going from one thing to the next, to the next,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 4: to the next, to the next, to the next, to
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 4: the next to next. You know, it's just you have
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: an agenda that is filled in your X amount of
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: hours you are there for that day, and that agenda
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: is filled and every now and again I will see
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: something pop out and maybe I will decide because like
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: a lot of the stuff, it's like there's no need
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: to comment on that, right, So yeah, I don't I
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: don't want to say I don't talk, but I am
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 4: very rarely in there chatting away on my own server.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you're not.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, is able to talk in all
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: of the altered servers all the.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: Time, including the altered server that's not really an altered server. Yep.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: If only someone would pay me to do it, then
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: I would be living Levita Luca anyways. But that's that's it.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you were able to hop in and
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: join us cookie.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: Get in air for a little bit. I was trying
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: and it's like my phone wasn't working nothing. It was
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: working because I just I found out that like my
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: phone without Wi Fi sucks. I do not have good
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 4: cell phone. I do not have like good like I
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: guess internet reception. It'll take phone calls just fine. But
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: when it's like, oh, do you need to get on
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: a web page? Like maybe that's just a sign of
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: the times right where it's like instant gratification. We're so
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 4: used to that, like just popping in and like things
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 4: just load.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: Think I had to wait like five minutes for Discord
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: to even like do the thing today.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Sound was like dial up.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was close. It was it was broadband.

  Speaker 2: When you are ready to go have some alone time
