2:25
I'm exhausted. But we're gonna get We're gonna work through this and we're gonna
2:30
get there. So we had the Baltimore Vault Tour otherwise known as the Baltimore
2:37
Oh yes, Baltimore, and which was a pretty good name. We deleted
2:44
the channel with all of our notes on it, like right before we started
2:46
recording, so that was good. Who who came up with this? Yeah?
2:53
No, is he in charge of deleting channels? Now? I guess
2:57
he got promoted to delet of channels. I thought that was your job.
3:00
Okay, I thought, no, that was these job. But these a
3:02
dirty filth. Oh yeah, yeah, he's a cheater, che quitter.
3:07
Yeah, maybe you got it right the first time. Nobody really knows,
3:13
mm hmm. But we did have a vault of wait, nobody answered me.
3:17
Who came up with the name of Baltimore? I don't know. I
3:22
think it was somebody in the channel, And if we still had the channel,
3:23
we could we could figure this out as long as there was somebody in
3:27
the channel and not somebody else who shall not We'll just take credit for it
3:30
here. Yeah, we definitely did it. All buyers or directly related to
3:38
us. But we had another four days of fun, key forge fun.
3:40
That is all right. I guess this is kind of your show since you
3:47
were there, Like wet there, there's no sheep there, very minimal AC
3:53
presence in Baltimore. I was there Sunday was there Sunday was there? Yeah?
3:59
The car was there? What yocha car was there? Yes, he
4:02
was there, yep, yeah, yeah, Loca Car actually and I uh
4:08
we stayed in the airbnb together, so that was uh uh. He cooked
4:15
me breakfast, you know, he showed me a good time car coasted your
4:17
breakfast. Yeah, is that real? Are you making things up? No,
4:21
he really did. When did he cook you cinnamon toast crunch? No,
4:26
that would have been a good move. But so he made he made
4:30
like like a little like eggs sandwich situation the first day, So that was
4:34
good, I like. And so then the second day he made like eggs
4:42
and toast, and I was like, oh another egg sandwich. Cool,
4:46
So like I combined them and then realized, oh no, that was just
4:48
a slice of tat per person. So I I think I ate either his
4:53
or his wife's toast. Ooops. Uh oh well dress two pieces of toast
5:00
kind of gay sandwich just previous day made sense. So I was actually so,
5:09
so, you know, its Loca Car, his wife and then then
5:12
myself right, and so I actually was like, maybe he's just telling me
5:15
a story that his wife's there, because like by the time we got back
5:19
at like two am on Friday. I didn't see her, that's expected,
5:25
but then woke up the next morning also didn't see her by the time we
5:28
left. Mmm maybe. And then Saturday night get back like two am.
5:35
Still don't see her by then. Then I finally saw her Sunday morning,
5:39
so she existed she can't. Yes, yeah, perfect. So Friday the
5:46
festivity is start. Oh yeah, she started with some tacos. What team
5:51
redacted? Yeah yeah, yeah. So Team redacted is like my local,
5:56
uh local folks, right, so there was So Taltimore is not that far
6:00
from Philly, So a bunch of us went down and we had some delicious
6:05
tacos. And in that in the restaurant, you know, they have like,
6:13
you know, speakers playing music. Right, well, somebody like halfway
6:16
through like our lunch, the one speaker just starts freaking out. It sounds
6:21
like a Geiger counter going off or like are we are we getting radiated by
6:28
these tacos? I don't know, but not dead yet? So perfect?
6:33
That was good? Were they good? Were they like a taco truck type
6:36
situation or just that was like a full on taco restaurant in the in the
6:42
shopping center of the game stores in oh So it was in the same shopping
6:46
center. Yeah, it was like right there. The yeah, the taco
6:50
plays, the mission barbecue. There was like a whole bunch of stuff,
6:55
including where we had lunch the next day. It was all right right there,
7:01
so that was convenient. But the games and stuff, so it's talktically
7:06
in glenn Burnie, but basically Baltimore. Uh, this store is huge.
7:12
I don't know haven of you guys been to games and stuff. I've never
7:15
been to Baltimore, Doug, Okay, all right, well we uh,
7:24
like this place is huge. It's like like the size of a like a
7:28
kmart. And I say kmart because I sort of think it used to be
7:30
a kmart. And uh, it is just massive the size of this game
7:35
store. I've like never seen a game store this big before. And uh.
7:42
And then we were like often like the side room where they have all
7:45
the game tables and stuff. But it's a really cool location that a great
7:47
board game selection, lots of stuff going on. Uh and they were great
7:54
hosts, so it was it was really cool. It was. It was
7:57
a nice store, all right. So sealed starts that day, seventy players
8:05
were sealed, so nice nice turnout again for the East Coast. Yeah,
8:09
I mean this was this was actually bigger than Rochester I heard. Actually overall
8:15
we'll get to the how many people on Saturday, but but total ticket sales
8:18
I think was eighty five, so that would make this the the largest vault
8:24
so far. Nice. So maybe it was eighty four, eighty four,
8:26
eighty five somewhere in there. But only seventy showed up well on on all
8:33
Friday, right, so yay, So like not everybody can show on Friday,
8:37
right right, Friday is a tough day, yep. So, but
8:39
seventy players were sealed. So you know, I opened my decks and they're
8:46
fine, They're like not amazing, but I'm like, all right, well,
8:50
we'll see what I can do with this. So so I play.
8:56
I'm doing well. I lose my first game, of course, and then
9:01
I'm doing relatively okay, Like fighting Back was the first game or was it?
9:03
Maybe I'm getting mixed up now I think it was my first game.
9:05
I don't remember, but running my way up the up the bottom basically.
9:11
Now it comes to dinner time and there's a decision point because not long before
9:18
dinner they do simwilar what they did in Rochester, they do the raffle for
9:24
a CTP dinner and so uh so one of our one of our listeners,
9:33
guy who talks a lot in the forum, Andy P, he's there and
9:37
I think, actually it's not here. I think it's his daughter actually has
9:39
the winning ticket, right, and he's not really super interesting going. His
9:43
daughter's not super interesting going. So he grabs me. He's like, hey,
9:48
if you got like, if you ask about adaptive, you can you
9:54
can go fin So, uh the number of people that want to ask about
10:01
adaptive is uh is a lot because as soon as I get this ticket,
10:07
I start I post them in the uh you know the channel that's now blown
10:11
away. Hey post your questions and a lot of people want to ask about
10:16
adaptive. But there are some other questions too. But can we just can
10:22
we kill this? Can this just not be a thing? I mean I
10:26
do. He has kind of answered the question. I know people don't love
10:30
the answer, like, adaptive is not Adaptive is not a format, it
10:33
doesn't exist. Will you will not see it? Yeah? I don't.
10:39
It's also what CTB has been saying. I don't think it's gonna be an
10:41
official thing, right, it will not be an official thing for better or
10:48
worse. Let it go, so let it AnyWho. But so they're about
10:52
to they're gonna go to the dinner, but like I am still in the
10:58
tournament and they have a reservation and all this, and like they're like,
11:01
oh yeah, like you're you're not gonna be able to basically you're not gonna
11:07
be able to both, you know, go to dinner and get back in
11:09
time to continue. So I'm like, well, I'm not gonna, like
11:13
I gotta I gotta keep fighting, right, So so I run back to
11:18
Andy. I was like, I can't go. Do you wanna do you
11:20
want to take it? Or do you want me to find someone? He's
11:22
like, oh, no, you find someone. So uh so look a
11:24
car? Uh uh oh, what's going on? We're losing a drazz car.
11:35
So we'll have to get the lowdown from them next time. You all
11:39
mister robato on me, but we'll we'll try. I think what you said.
11:43
So anyway, the drafts car lost his ticket or drafts car couldn't go
11:48
because he was still in sealed, so we gave it to local car.
11:52
Hopefully, I mean local car is a local to us, so hopefully Local
11:56
car will come on and talk about his discussion with CTP. I I don't
12:00
know what happened there, Like all of a sudden, you were just gone.
12:03
It was really stretch. But oh, I think I think, yeah,
12:09
yeah, sorry, sorry. So I did get the sense that not
12:11
that much new was said. But but yeah, we'll get we'll get the
12:15
lowdown from uh from folks. So if you were part of that dinner,
12:22
I would like to talk to us, let us know. Yeah, all
12:28
right, So here they went to the outback, yes, time, I
12:33
guess because wherever they went the previous time, like I had some pricey dishes,
12:37
and people just started ordering some pricey meals when they heard that CTP was
12:43
paying. So yeah, it's like, well at the outback, you could
12:48
cap it a little bit more, guess. I don't know. I I
12:52
guess that's kind of funny. Well yeah, outback steakhouse. Yeah, everybody's
12:58
got to get their own blooming on in, right. Of course, you
13:01
don't go and not get a bloom an onion. I don't think they actually
13:05
allow you to order food until you've ordered the blooming onion. I just kind
13:11
of those up. Yeah, of course, But this is what I'm really
13:16
interested in. Okay, so we we end day one? Did they?
13:20
I'm guessing we didn't do. I was really on and off with watching the
13:26
stream this week. It was for everybody. It was Father's Day weekend,
13:31
so doing dad things. Sheep, you were camp was the thing. I
13:39
was getting destroyed by mosquitoes. Yeah, and I was actually working, believe
13:46
it or not, so it was tough to tough to keep up. I'm
13:48
guessing the finals ended up on Sunday. Well, the the sealed finals was
13:54
Saturday night almost or the sealed or cut or whatever, which I almost made
14:01
it into. But I got to the final match and I just played.
14:07
No. I wasn't made on my side of the table. I was playing
14:11
cookagein and it was he won turn four in a sealed match. Okay,
14:20
sealed the Lions, Yes, sealed the Lions. But yeah, there was
14:26
there was nothing I could do. I think I think I played four cards
14:31
and he forged three keys by the end of turn four, So what the
14:35
world? Oh he played like a crazy burst deck, so like he what
14:41
did he do? He went, Uh, it was one of these things
14:43
where he like, uh, you know boo the he plays boo chuck,
14:54
you know, gets a whole bunch of cards in his discard pile, plays
14:58
the U a couple of the what's the discard five capture one vail now not
15:07
veil the other one the you discard five cards capture one for every guy stored
15:13
card hollow hell is he? Yeah, he plays like two of those.
15:18
He's got like twenty cards in his discard. Then he plays the uh Wins
15:26
of Death archives a billion creatures right, and he did enough to get to
15:31
check right, So like, I play a few cards, so he forges
15:33
a key and he calls untamed, pulls his whole poses archive, plays which
15:39
green, which cream or not? Which green haunting, which haunting? Which
15:43
boom boom boom boom boom right six and gets twelve member and plays with a
15:50
double. He played two of those what's the circle of life and then he
15:56
plays a spooky charge to forge and he ends his turn on six Ember.
16:02
It goes back to me, I have no ever control, so there's one
16:06
more turn in there somewhere. But yeah, he won on trened four.
16:07
So I think he played some ecuadon and stole or something. I don't remember.
16:12
It was bad. It was bad. So another choke from the Choke
16:18
show. There you go. Thanks, thanks Hurt, but thanks for delivering
16:23
expectations. I just got to put one one of those. I would have
16:26
liked to obait it the top to top yeah, to choke a little later.
16:32
Yeah. Yeah. So that was right before top eight. So that
16:36
was top sixteen and that was clean cut. So I knew if I won,
16:38
I would be in and uh no, couldn't do it. Couldn't do
16:44
it. So couldn't. Yeah. So it was secually the first time I
16:47
had to trade. I had to trade some decks, some uh geolocated VM
16:52
decks from other locations to uh actually trade them to Mickey who top eighted in
16:57
two events, uh to get some Baltimore decks. Then we get into the
17:04
real stuff, right, Oh yeah, we have Booze and Ala Shredder.
17:10
Oh yeah, party of the hotel. So so I'm like, all right,
17:11
everyone like an AC party. So so I got a bunch of booze.
17:18
I like this time. I grabbed a couple of dollars from a few
17:22
folks, so it wasn't just buying it all myself, but grab some beer,
17:26
grab some liquor, show up the hotel. I got I had bought
17:29
some like cheap a away, right, and so slam that down. And
17:33
actually the hotel, this hotel was cool. They gave us like a little
17:37
conference room. So, uh so we're in there playing Shredder and it was
17:45
a good time. So like you know, stretder shutters fun and realize that
17:51
like we've got a whole bunch of like cheese puffs and like like peanut butter
17:55
and pretzels and stuff. We realized like we don't have enough different types of
17:57
tokens. So we decide there's no damage tokens. We just take a sharpie
18:03
and write the amount of damage on the creature. Think there's no hit.
18:10
Yeah, you you need to come play with mister perfect and you will learn
18:14
how one token is everything. Oh I did I did listen to to help
18:19
the futureself? Uh where where we heard all about it? This last this
18:25
last week? So yes, so the location of the token indicates everything.
18:33
Mm hmmm, it sure does. How he needs to add heads and tails
18:37
mean something just really really makes life hard, just to really upset me.
18:45
Yes, because it's not like we all don't have an abundance of tokens or
18:48
tokens willing to give him or yes, but trolling you. Is is worth
18:55
the effort? It? Sure is? It? Sure is? So I
19:00
did open a It was like a seven or eight playgrat deck in Shredder,
19:03
And of course it didn't matter what was in my desk card pile. Actually
19:08
good cars. They're like, I'm getting those play grats. I was like,
19:11
no, remember when and they were going to be yeah, and then
19:17
they weren't. Yeah. Yeah, sad days because rats could have been something
19:22
awesome. Yep. Well let's move into the real meat and potatoes. Saturday.
19:29
Rat Oh maybe it is going to be a mega rat comes with rats
19:34
and extra rats and rats rats. That could be. Yeah, now I'm
19:40
excited be like the rat piper. No, I don't want a fat elf.
19:44
I don't want a fat elf. Pizza is going to be like pizza
19:47
the hut. Yeah, I'm in so I forgot you wants. It's not
19:56
here this week we can cuss all we want. Poop poopoop poop. That's
20:00
a terrible That means we shouldn't swear at all. Yeah, yeah, behavior,
20:07
what does piss off? Ewok, what's the point. That's right,
20:11
it's only worth the effort. So Saturday we get into Arkan Arkhan had sixty
20:17
players, Alliance fifteen players. Yeah, that's par for the course. Yeah,
20:22
I mean more of the same. And one of the notes that our
20:29
dearest Ewok took screenshots of. He took copious screenshots of this one and posted
20:37
in there, and this one's from second act. My question is why they're
20:45
continuing to run Alliance. Clearly they haven't been convinced. Oh wait why.
20:49
My question is not why they're continuing to run Alliance. Clearly they can't be
20:55
convinced otherwise. My question is why they continue to prize it the same level
21:00
is sealed an ARCon when it gets small fraction of the players, because the
21:07
prizes were defined not based off of player. I don't I don't even understand
21:12
why that's the question. Well, the prizes were defined well before. Yeah,
21:18
my question why we could read why do we continue Alliance? Like why
21:25
why? I mean because it was already because you don't in the middle of
21:29
the season where you said this season, if you come to a vault or
21:32
these are the three things you're gonna play. Oh, you're not going to
21:33
play that anymore. So, you who were only going to Vegas because it's
21:37
the one you could go to and you've been building your alliance. We're canceling
21:40
alliance because it didn't do well enough at these other ones. I could see
21:44
running the mid season, next season, the rest of the year, but
21:48
it's we've already kind of gotten the hint, like Lions ain't going anywhere,
21:52
folks. Yeah, well so who cares there? It's it is truthfully costing
22:00
you nearly nothing that alliance is playing. Well, you play arc On,
22:06
But like JR. Says, it is splitting the community we can have because
22:11
those players may not know because at least half of those players probably wouldn't even
22:18
come playing arc of that fifteen. You're not all of them are just gonna
22:22
switch over to ark On. They may just choose not to play, all
22:29
right. I don't have a good argument. I mean, we happen to
22:33
all be ARCon players here, but there are players who don't really care about
22:38
arc On. Actually, there are several players who come into these events now
22:42
that without Sealed they might not come at all at all, right, and
22:48
they just a lot of them play offs. A lot of those players play
22:52
arc On because they're already know they're not going to compete day two real well,
22:57
and they're like, why put a lot of work into an Alliance deck
23:00
that isn't going to hack it when I can just shuffle up my favorite arch
23:03
on back and see what happens. Yeah, I think that's right, you
23:07
know, And I think there's a Yeah, Alliance has now been around long
23:12
enough. I think if it was to have been killed, they needed to
23:15
kill it coming into this season. But now that they've got it two years
23:21
running, They'm also just for what it cost them to prize that as well
23:26
as the other one. It's not doesn't really mean anything if they're prized at
23:32
last to last players show potentially, I but I don't know, mean,
23:37
but it's like, I mean, honestly, the prizing they're doing is does
23:42
not cost them that much at all. So yeah, it's it's not killing
23:48
them, that's for sure, right, Like it's certainly not the uh okay
23:56
right that was killing them, right So so I I, on the other
24:06
hand, a lot of the player too, and I'm one like, I'm
24:10
still fine, you can kill lions. Although I've been having fun because I
24:12
took wookies of line stack fixed it and it works. So it was like
24:17
we didn't fix it, we were theory crash. Well, you had a
24:22
theory and no, no, no, hold on, hold on, hold
24:26
on pause, Wait a minute, something right. I found two pods that
24:33
I really really liked that I was like, these two should work together,
24:37
and I didn't know correct, I didn't know what the third pod should be.
24:41
And we did a lot of talking about what it should be and that
24:45
you just you just mom and we're like, yeah, this will work,
24:51
and you and Dexter it was fantastic. Yeah, and we're like, yeah,
24:55
that's actually because we already had the idea that it should be Lee's and
24:59
near a few future lenses, and then you did it. I'm pretty sure
25:03
saying that Lee's was the way because you were trying to shove that stupid MM
25:07
missile Officer Myers. I was trying to do the mom thing, which I
25:12
still think would work. Maybe I just finding that combo is actually isn't the
25:19
easiest thing to do, but multiple future lenses a lot easier. I don't
25:29
care much one way if Alliance stays or goes. I really at this point
25:33
just want them to run some sort of adaptive thing so when it gets twelve
25:40
players, we can then kill it. Do you want to run adaptive just
25:45
for theory? Cons just to prove, just to prove my point that we
25:49
can then kill it. I mean, I'm sure there are ten or twelve
25:52
people who will play it and have fun. And you know what, again,
25:56
if that's what they want to go do, they can go do it.
25:59
It doesn't really hurt me any And they did have so so Actually Andy
26:07
p made and brought some cool adaptive poker chips where you know, you would
26:14
just giveing them out basically hold in your hand, you you know, open
26:18
your fist, are you playing your deck or your opponent's deck. Those were
26:21
kind of cool, so I did grab one of those. He was nice
26:23
enough to to to give one to me, And I know they ran a
26:27
side event at some point using those fourteen unique players play Adaptive. They said,
26:36
okay, there you go. That's right. I think they were playing
26:38
short adaptive. They were. They were playing short Adaptive and uh and the
26:42
event was still going at that point, so it's possible more people would have
26:45
joined in, but I was still in something I don't remember, like the
26:52
Land of the Adaptive Lovers. This is true. We do have the help
26:56
from featureself. What is you know, no other one the sloppy lab work
27:00
there and Warriors. What what is the feel to Adaptive? Explain to me?
27:06
Well, so like because then their quality doesn't matter. Yeah, I
27:11
like it as a jank format in that I could just bring something different than
27:15
normal. But I don't know that I personally am into it as like a
27:18
hardcore format. But yeah, bring something different. I'm I like jank.
27:26
I like to bring different things. So but yeah, yep, there's definitely
27:33
a crowd playing it. Does that help me? Sol there is fourteen as
27:38
opposed to fourteen ununique players. Well, I think they played two eight player
27:42
groups. Oh and that was fourteen of those players were unique. Okay,
27:49
so two people? Telling is Adaptive still drew less people than Alliance. As
27:56
side events, it drew almost the same. It did pretty good. There
28:00
Isn't that what you normally draw when you run shutter? No, I usually
28:06
get one group of eight people, got it? But top four for Alliance
28:11
you got Miggy with the scholar spam what top four? There's two scholars.
28:18
I don't have names for the other people we have scholars. That's the only
28:22
one I know. Well, I guess we know we know some of them,
28:26
So I don't know the other scholar. So there's two scholar spam decks.
28:30
So all right, by the way, we don't know a top eight
28:33
because they ran out all the way to uh final table. Basically there is
28:38
three people x one it yep. So we know there was two scholar spams.
28:45
We know there was a jar Winka hold on Sunday is Sunday is filling
28:49
it out? Frog Legs one with DT combo, Yeah, that which we
28:55
know about that subsidy scholars, Maggie was scholars and then somebody top four with
29:04
a g R list. Yeah, it was a wind cut. So here
29:11
is what alliances really four. It allows the subpar sets to play and win.
29:18
It's the only happened AOA is one and it's the only significant thing DT
29:26
has even showed up at and one. I mean d T one and yeah,
29:32
so d T one quite sounds like it was quite dominant too. Oh
29:37
yeah, frog Legs had a really powerful deck that he constructed. Should jump
29:45
to that since we're talking about it, we can talk about that all right
29:48
as well. Frog Legs wins with the the Basically it's a DT deck that
29:55
plays all of it. Right, So United Action again, United Action waste
30:02
not killing the talmage. Talmage Talmig nobody knows yep, uh steel Heart,
30:10
So Steelhart plays, he gets a plus encounter for each card you have played
30:15
that turn, including himself. And then I'm guessing you waste not that.
30:21
Well, first you got an United Action yep, and you can waste not
30:26
there's three waste notts. Right. There's also double Diplomatic gung, so you
30:32
can just you can start with nothing on board and you can United Action into
30:36
all houses, yeah, which is very important. Yeah, and then a
30:42
double together right, so you can just start playing all sorts of stuff,
30:47
right, even if you didn't do United Action right. And then and I
30:51
just right, there's a Honors ksys in there. There's a data forge,
30:55
right, there's a think twice. So basically you just start looping stuff or
30:59
you actual we equilibrium until you can start looping stuff, which the dawn stuff
31:03
back. There's a key frog like and basically it's an o TK right,
31:07
and you know, frog Legs, you know we can get up so actually
31:12
myself and look a car. We're streaming the finals on Sunday. Frog Legs
31:18
pulls out a laminated where it's got every card his deck. He could rule
31:26
of six like so many cards and he's just marking off the cards that he's
31:30
playing as he's going, so he knows how many power the toll mage has,
31:33
so he knows to draw a million cards every time, and or maybe
31:40
has to do a mushroom man, right, only a mushroom man when he
31:42
draws cards and just loops the deck and kills kills in one turn. And
31:51
it was it was pretty impressive. How does this loop with them comes in
31:59
and it's stars plus it gets to pick another house. Yeah, so it
32:02
also gets to be Logos. It has to be on board now, Okay,
32:12
that's so. Now it's two houses. So with United Action you can
32:16
now play Logos United Actions Alpha card. Sure, but you play that first,
32:25
right, but and then you play your Star Alliance card. Okay,
32:30
and then it keeps checking every time I have a new card checking yep,
32:35
not like and actually can lose it can actually lose its check too. I
32:39
think if you like get rid of all your Logos cards on board, you
32:44
can lose the ability to play logos too. So it is it is a
32:46
weird United Action is a little bit weird in that regard. But yes,
32:52
it it is constantly checking. It is not a check when you play United
32:54
Action, it's a check when you go to play each card. Yep,
33:00
yeah, it's uh yeah, it's pretty crazy. The looping and there's a
33:07
ceaseforge in the deck just for good measure, right, like the it's it.
33:13
It is pretty crazy. I mean, I when I was watching this
33:15
game, I was like this, I think this exemplifies in some ways what
33:20
Alliance players really like about the format. It is just a absolutely outrageous broken
33:27
thing that we watched, and some people love that. And I was also
33:34
I did say this on the stream, but I was like, and this
33:37
is why I don't like this. So it is it is very cool to
33:42
see it happen once, but after that it's not. And this this is
33:47
definitely the exact like definition of watch me play key Forge. Yeah right,
33:53
he's literally checking off. You sit there and you can watch me for a
33:57
while, and then you can go sit somewhere else. Yeah, and then
34:00
you lose. So yeah yeah, so but I mean, you know,
34:06
people, some people definitely enjoy the act of constructing and smashing these ridiculous things
34:13
against each other. So but just think if, like so, when when
34:17
Wookie goes off on his tangents, like the heck a line should just be
34:22
build whatever you want. Like the fact that this kind of stuff exists in
34:24
this game and this is just one. There are other ways to do this
34:29
kind of stuff, especially when you can just start stuffing random cards together.
34:35
You just build. Just one turn kill in this game would be it would
34:39
be who goes, who gets turned two wins. Yeah. I mean this
34:45
was not turned too, but it was pretty early. I was just turn.
34:47
I don't know what turn it was, but it was super still wasn't
34:51
constructed. I'm saying when people are like, oh, just let him shrucked.
34:54
Yeah, yeah, it would be this gotta the hand of the frog
35:00
legs. Though. This was like nobody has done anything like this before with
35:04
d T and before. Yeah, but you know they've never done anything.
35:13
This is true. This this did stuff. So that was That's impressive.
35:19
Yeah, yeah, all right, so that was Alliance. That was Alliance.
35:24
We also have the Sealed Finals. Yes, Chaka one. Who was
35:35
who was the runner up? Some hobo Yeah of the Flaming variety. Yeah,
35:40
yep, ye in the muscle shirt. It was yeah, buff,
35:45
it was. It was a buff hobo. Well, actually I think he
35:47
was. He was buff on Friday. I think Saturday. He actually wore
35:51
he was the last buff on Friday, but he was wearing this Iron Man
35:53
situation. It was it was a picture of him and his buff shirt with
35:57
Saka Shaka for the I was there, Okay, okay, all right,
36:04
maybe he just you know, flipped it around, ripped off the h the
36:08
reap out shirt just like raw. So just yep, yep. So Saturday
36:20
is a great time. And then uh I, uh yeah I got knocked
36:24
out. That was unfortunate. Yeah, I was like I'm going drinking so
36:34
as usual like the beginning, I don't know if usual is the right word,
36:37
but like I guess the last couple of times now it's it's been like
36:42
a lot of people have started asking me about what's going on with the Dascore
36:45
experience. So so like like, well, I'm a little bit like I
36:51
can't go with all these folks, but like but part of it is,
36:52
like really what it is is like I'm like people can come, we just
36:55
can't all sit at the same table necessarily. But because stuff was still going
37:01
and I was like I'm out of here, there wasn't like a massive people
37:07
right then and there uh so more people joined us late for later for drinks,
37:10
but for dinner myself Thundee uh jj, he's one of my locals,
37:17
met Apps and myself hopped in the car, drove to downtown Baltimore, and
37:28
uh I got dinner at this place of Love and Regret is the I was
37:32
gonna ask you what this so I love it? What is this all about
37:36
as a restaurant, As a restaurant and bar? So it was really good.
37:39
I thought I had some like deep introspective type deal. Yeah, I
37:45
profess how I truly feel It's just a restaurant, yeah, you know,
37:52
and so we uh so it was. It was. It was delicious.
37:59
It was like American like Asian fusion situation, and had some good beer,
38:06
had some good cocktails, and and then we're like, all right, we're
38:10
gonna go to bar down down in the Harbor area now we so so on
38:21
purpose, we picked a spot for dinner that wasn't a wreck, like in
38:25
the heart of the crazy most crazy downtown area because it was like it's Pride
38:31
month and there's like Pride events going on that weekend. It was like Pride
38:35
weekend or whatever. So we're like, this area is gonna be like it's
38:38
going to be mobbed, right, So we ate in this nice neighborhood.
38:44
But then we're gonna walk. And I had asked Dom, like, I
38:47
don't like how far is that? I should have just checked on my Google
38:52
maps, but it was like, I don't know how twenty minutes or so
38:54
walk. Well, that wasn't accurate, but not all of there's it wasn't
39:00
accurate for two reasons. One just wrong. Two we decide by we I
39:07
mean, I decide that we're not going to just go straight to Fell's Point
39:13
right the harbor area. We're gonna walk down south and then go along the
39:19
go along the harbor itself, like walk around along it. And so we're
39:22
we're walking and it is yeah, well, well it's not a beach.
39:28
It's like a it's like a boardwalk almost. But it's like it's like right
39:31
there, like like you're walking and you're basically on the water. Right,
39:35
there's like no railing, right, you know, it's just the Marina area
39:39
and you're just zigzagging back and forth. And this is like a pretty nice
39:45
area of town. So like you're walking on this like nice stone pathway and
39:52
to your left there's just no railing. It's just you fall into the into
39:58
the bay. Uh and to the right there, so I asked the question,
40:04
yeah, did anybody fall. No, nobody fell, but we were
40:08
talking about it because you know, folks were old tipsy. There was a
40:13
fence to our right though, because to the right was all the rich people's
40:16
lawns for their condos, so uh so there needed to be a fence on
40:21
that side. So we walked all the way down. It was zigzag back
40:27
and forth and like we're going for a while, and at some points like
40:31
how far is this? Look at the bat but like, oh, we're
40:35
like halfway there. We've been walking for like forty minutes. So much for
40:42
that twenty minute walk. Yeah, yeah, so it's like over an hour.
40:46
But the time we zigzag and then we forget you had to walk back,
40:52
Well, well we'll get to that. So we zigzag all the way
40:59
down. The harbor now was beautiful is beautiful weather. It was a nice
41:02
night, and finally we zigzag and we like crossed the street and like everything
41:12
changes, right because it goes from like the nice condos on the harbor to
41:16
like, oh, you're in like party zone and it is like crammed with
41:21
people wearing not much clothes and and then uh it was that and that's called
41:29
the District Dress car. Yeah. Yeah, well it's police in full body
41:32
armor like with like rifles and stuff. And it was like, okay,
41:39
now they were like doing anything, but like they were like make it real
41:45
sure everybody knew that they were out in force, right. So uh so
41:52
we like make our way through the very crowded streets and uh, I think
42:00
Sunday and JJ almost got hit by a car because they just like started crossing
42:04
the street without looking. I don't know. And then uh, and so
42:09
we uh we get to the bar. And one of the things that's tricky,
42:15
by the way, when we were looking up places and you've never been
42:17
to these places before, you can get really good, really good idea of
42:22
how good the food or drinks or whatever is by reading or views and stuff.
42:25
The one thing it's always hard to know is like how loud the music
42:30
will be in these places. Music was kind of loud, so I was
42:34
like thinking about like should we stay, should we go? But there was
42:37
more people who are going to come join us, and they did have some
42:39
like big tables that we could just grab, so so we end up staying.
42:45
Drinks were real good and the uh we so we were joined by June
42:54
and fabulous Ing, Siaka and Dom all came and joined us, and we
43:00
had a whole bunch of drinks and had a good time, and they stayed
43:06
out pretty late. It was really loud, so I couldn't hear the other
43:09
end of the table, so I did up just talking with fabulous Ing for
43:14
quite a while because they were, you know, right next to me.
43:19
But but that was delicious. Then eventually, oh and then I think the
43:28
we're trying to figure out if the waitress was like hitting on JJ or not,
43:32
Like he was convinced the waitress was like hitting on him, and we
43:37
were like, she just wants your tips, man, Yes, Sunday JJ
43:43
was hammered. He's like, nah, she's really into me, dude.
43:46
I was like, all right, you know where else I have heard that
43:51
strip clubs? Yeah, so uh so, yeah, the we end up
44:00
having to you know, we're like, all we got to take JJ out
44:01
of here. So and like you know, we're about ready to head back,
44:07
and you know, m Sunday's like, oh man, we have to
44:12
walk all the way back, and so like Dom's like, oh I can,
44:15
like I park not that far away, Like we can just jump in
44:20
my car, drop you off at your car, and then you can head
44:23
back right. So we're like, ah, that sounds good. So then
44:28
we proceed to wander the streets of Baltimore for like an hour trying to find
44:34
do you have an extra experience? So it wasn't quite like X ray,
44:40
where you know, some dude got tasted in front of him, but like
44:46
it definitely like we're definitely walking along and like the music is blaring, and
44:53
like there's these chicks like twerking on each other in the streets and we're like
44:58
all right, we're and uh, you know it was it was, it
45:04
was an event. And then there was definitely some like car like that probably
45:09
was stayed away from where all the cops were like drag racing, just blowing
45:15
through the red lights. I was like, well that seems safe as we're
45:20
wandering all over the place because I guess dom he had a rental car or
45:24
a courtesy car or whatever, so like exactly it was like, wait,
45:30
what car is it? And he's just like walking around clicking the beeper trying
45:34
to get car so car to light up. Right, We're just wandering all
45:38
the streets, like we could have walked all the way back to my car
45:44
by this point, JJ is like, I gotta be so bad, so
45:49
he like runs down at alley okay, and then eventually finally find the scar
46:00
and uh uh and oh yeah he didn't have to pee, you right,
46:06
he just had to trim the hedges. You're right, so we uh so,
46:10
then eventually we end up back get my car and then we head all
46:15
the way back to the to the hotel. So it was a really good
46:19
time. It was cool to get to celebrate with Shaka a little bit and
46:22
hang out with folks and uh I I posted pictures on the on our discord
46:29
which is now the channel blown Away that we were because eight of us,
46:32
so I posted about the we were the top eight of drinking. So that
46:38
was a good time. So I've never been on any of the good dazzbar
46:45
experiences. I always been on the Tame ones. The Tame one, well
46:47
the one that where we every bar we went to was closed. Yeah,
46:53
so yeah, I'm going to Vegas. Oh yeah, we're gonna do it.
46:59
Better step pump the game, sir, and if you be too,
47:02
you can charge other people to go on the draft car experience. I should
47:07
do this tour guide service. When are you getting in by the way Friday
47:13
morning? Friday minut? Okay, okay, because I'm be doing stuff on
47:17
Thursday. So AnyWho the uh so it was a good time wake up,
47:28
eat U loco car's wife's toast. That was good and uh or it was
47:34
local cars. I don't know and uh and then uh local car. I
47:39
got to stream in the coldest streaming room in the universe. What happened with
47:46
your ARCon experience? Oh so so I did? Okay, I end up
47:52
losing uh to fabulous thing I think on stream and it was pretty I was
48:00
actually a little angry at myself because I did something that I should not do,
48:08
and I know I shouldn't do it, but I've like tricked myself before,
48:12
so I tricked myself into doing somethation done right. So it was up
48:15
against a Wadka deck, so you know, to counter that, you have
48:22
to get cards in your archive or excuse me and your discard really fast,
48:27
right, otherwise you just fall behind because my my deck burst. But it's
48:31
not I don't have key abduction, so I I, you know, draw
48:37
my opening hand and there's just a ton of Mars dudes, and I'm like,
48:43
whoah, But which you have to do in that matchup, at least
48:47
with my deck is you have to mulligan and you have to get some of
48:50
the in here somewheres. Maybe you can just discard all those dudes. But
48:54
I don't know. It was there's too many Mars actions with it. So
48:59
I should have mulliganed. I didn't. I play them out. My mate's
49:00
member didn't get to check, and then you know, pretty soon thereafter wins
49:06
the death. I are kind of almost nothing fabulous, archived a lot,
49:10
and at that point it was basically over because I was way behind the eight
49:15
ball and uh shoot hmulligant so and I knew I should have, but I
49:22
didn't. I tricked myself again. Oh well it happens. Don't don't let
49:25
yourself get tricked, all right. I don't know what to say about that.
49:35
Yeah, agreement, not in an agreement that's good for radio. There
49:39
you go, yep, yep, all right. So we get to Sunday,
49:43
the third and final day of all the key forge fun mm hmmm,
49:49
draz and local car running the stream freezing their balls off. Yes, it
49:54
was the coldest room, like I the ac. It was like getting warm
50:01
in the main room because all the AC was getting dumped on us in the
50:05
stream room. Oh okay. I was like it was pretty nice out that
50:07
day. I don't know, is it cold in Baltimore. It's weird.
50:10
It was freezing in the streaming room and I was like shivering. It was
50:15
like like if you saw me on stream, like I had e walk text
50:19
to me. He's like, you look really cold. I was like,
50:22
I have really cold and you didn't bring us sweater? No? I forgot,
50:27
Like I so normally I bring my uh my old Vault hoodie, and
50:31
I just didn't because it's like it's so warm. Well, it's the middle
50:35
of summer. Why would you exactly? All right, but top eight for
50:40
ar con I'm sure we're gonna have an article about that soon. Yep,
50:45
soon trademarked TM. But long story short. As most of you know,
50:51
if you're listening to this, you probably know Vandola wins again, taking Catmorrow
50:57
to uh too to worlds. So ban Doola is now one one. Yeah
51:04
tomorrow. Yeah, the more important piece here though, Oh congratulations Cammorrow,
51:10
the more important piece and I borrowed Bandola. You are already going with fraud.
51:19
Does this trigger anything? Last year we had all the talk with with
51:23
ooze ohs never won anything. It did qualify a few people, It did
51:30
qualify the it did won the Open, did win the Open, it did
51:36
win the Open. Okay, so well, okay, I don't know how
51:39
we want to count that. Now. Bandola has won twice in two separate
51:45
hands YEP, one of the smaller and one of the bigger events. I
51:52
thought you were gonna go with one of the smaller one of the bigger hands.
51:53
That's right. I thought he was going with it. We can't small
52:00
them out and measure hands. We can. We're too small to be canceled.
52:02
So it really doesn't matter. But does this trigger response now from GG?
52:09
Well, you know this is our what do you mean? No,
52:13
this is already something that was being talked about, and now it's happening again.
52:19
If it wins again the season, then that will care. They didn't
52:23
do it. They didn't do anything about Nova last year and she won three
52:28
events. But that but that's the same person, same deck, and the
52:31
same event. It doesn't matter. It's not like that deck also showed up.
52:37
Well, it doesn't matter. It's not the same. The deck also
52:40
showed up two other times if I remember correctly, and did squat didn't even
52:45
qualify you. You tried to play it, you didn't get anywhere, and
52:49
I thought x Ray tried to play. Now it's just me, just you,
52:52
Okay, I'm the only scrub who tried it and failed. Yeah,
52:55
I'm not even a top eight, right, that's right, Okay, So
53:00
I mean very different where this is now clearly just taking it you if you
53:07
are taking Bandola you I mean, Mike, Oh that is they got to
53:15
send Bandola to an event with the intention of it scrubbing out and be like,
53:20
see doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, I guess, but I don't
53:25
think so, I mean, Mike, the Drafscar could borrow it. So
53:30
a top tour isn't necessarily scrubbing out, right, Like, man, I
53:37
don't think Drafscar could even he would have to try to scrub out with this
53:42
deck. It'd be like here's here's a hundred dollars. Don't place in the
53:49
top eight. So so these games were the final table. They were super
53:58
interesting, right, So it was Bandola is the Scaley Thatcher. Scaley Thatcher
54:04
was run by Cocagne and who played their deck thought real well, right,
54:10
and and but the the interesting thing was the thing that was wild about this
54:17
game was that so uh cocagne he played uh so scaley thatcher. One of
54:25
the things that you probably don't notice when you read this deck is that there
54:30
are two incarnation pods. So I noticed it, and I was wondering how
54:35
how how it got where it was? But yes, well so so in
54:39
both games one and two, it's the incarnation pod gets scrapped. And so
54:52
when you scrap the incarnation pards, you purred the bottom card from each player's
54:57
deck. Game one scrap apps, which Queen from ban Doola, and it's
55:04
like whoa, everybody's like, whoa, everybody's jobs drops because like that is
55:08
like one of the key cards in ban Dola. Like when you read ban
55:12
Doola, that's the slam dunk card, right, Yeah, slam Dunk,
55:16
I don't know, well, is generally thirty mber in a turn, right,
55:21
Like it's it can generate a lot of ember, but it still needs
55:23
it still needs three turns to win. Yeah, if you can do it
55:28
until you win, it's the brill that well, right, So while that's
55:31
what happens, right because you lose, which Queen. Game one and then
55:37
game two the same thing happens once again Incarnation Pod bottom Deck which Queen,
55:45
and so two games in a row which Queen is purged and it was pretty
55:52
wild right so so right Scaly Thatcher gets gets one of those games, right,
55:57
it has to go to game three the right that game two it was
56:01
a brio lock right, Brio count Right, so it's it's Brio double echo
56:08
Guardian gate watcher count. That is really hard to deal with, and right
56:16
Scally Thatcher only has a couple of ways to deal with it. It does
56:20
have the fortune Reverser, but interestingly, on the purge the increation pod go
56:27
on the was the second or third game the fortune Reverser gets purged, so
56:32
actually no way to deal or no great way to deal with the Brio lock
56:38
brio at that point. So it does like I got a blindering guard,
56:44
but there's too much taunt right, so, so really hard at that point
56:46
to to like you need a lot of nephilipes. Yeah, deal, you
56:59
know, a deal with that kind of okay, I guess no coup still
57:01
never mind they say rats rats would be pretty good, but yeah shuts,
57:09
yeah, yeah, so that that going on in Bandola. We've just got
57:19
the Geistoid package, a pretty good Guystid package with Boo double holiday. If
57:22
you got the Eco charge as a key sheet, right, it's you got
57:25
a grim reaper to take out what you need to take out. Right.
57:30
So Bandola is super strong, super powerful. And uh, I think on
57:37
game three it was actually the which which of the I that got purged on
57:42
the Incronation pod that time, So very very fun games to commentate, and
57:50
uh just shows you that, like really it was the it was the brio
57:53
lock that won those games, not almost Which way is the brio lock?
57:59
Yeah, I mean yeah, which the Witch Queen Shenanigans creates a bucket of
58:02
ember, but there's no and you could do it over and over again,
58:07
but there's there's no If I remember correctly, there's no key sheet in the
58:10
deck. There's an Ecto charge. Is there an Ecto charge? Are you
58:15
sure? Yeah? I'm looking at it right now. Okay, so ecto
58:17
Ecto can do something, but it's not typically in those houses. Just you
58:23
need a there's like not a real awesome payoff. Right, there's not a
58:29
spooky charge, right, there's not like a spooky charge or I don't think
58:32
there's a key sheet in on Fathom this time round, but there was something
58:37
to like take advantage of it, it'd be great. Yeah they got Dark
58:39
Discovery M but that's not you can't just pay extra Ember to got in deck.
58:46
It's a key cheat. It is a key sheet. I'm saying,
58:50
like a key sheet where you can just pay more Ember to get you get
58:52
a key. That's what I meant. But that io loc is always just
59:00
absolutely brutal. That's that's why every good deck needs a grim Reaper these days.
59:07
That's what's numb. Ye Reaper is good. Yeah, Grim Reaper real
59:15
good. I don't know. I would like to see some sort of response
59:19
from GG on this one, because again, now we have another deck doing
59:22
the same thing that we had last year, and we had talks about it,
59:24
and I think they did make a response. It was you can buy
59:29
more g R two sir, Yeah, buy gr That was my response,
59:36
not G's response. That's all I'm saying. So I'd like to see something
59:42
because yeah, it's I mean, what do we do come worlds right now?
59:47
What we what do we have it? What are the decks that have
59:50
qualified for just the decks not the players, because obviously we know Bandola's qualified
59:54
twice, but only one person's going to be able to play it. So
59:59
we had fraud, fraud and then whatever a Sobey was playing, right right,
1:00:08
Yeah, and that's it. But decks aren't well qualified players, correct.
1:00:17
But again, if it were the deck, you would have two Bandola's
1:00:23
fraud and then whatever Sylvie was playing. Yep, somers But well, uh,
1:00:32
we'll have to just kind of wait and see. I'm sure we'll see
1:00:36
an article soon, probably tomorrow, say that, probably tomorrow. I'd be
1:00:43
shocked if I think the only way you see them actually do something is if
1:00:50
like ban Doola wins again and then also take worlds yeah, and just nothing
1:00:59
else comes along. It can't be good for the health of the game,
1:01:01
though. It can't be good. Yeah, I mean even now, it's
1:01:07
it tells you that you can definitely buy a deck and open a deck that
1:01:14
is going to be very very good, correct, Yeah, it's It is
1:01:21
a little disheartening being a guy who's going to tournaments and being like, oh,
1:01:24
go get my teeth kicked in by a Bandola. That sucks. But
1:01:28
on the other hand, it's like only in a deck that you're like,
1:01:32
yeah, I'm going into a vault, and I'm like you just I don't
1:01:37
know. You never feel I never feel very confident, and the next yeah,
1:01:44
I always have a chance. That's that's you know, That's always been
1:01:46
my best opinion with decks, like, hey could scrub out too right,
1:01:51
it can go, it could scrub out and you never even see the deck.
1:01:54
Possible. It's not likely, but possible. So questions moving forward,
1:02:02
we have one more vault to her July twelfth through the fourteenth, I believe
1:02:09
thirteenth, fifteenth. One more US fault, that is, one more US
1:02:13
vault is Vegas. Then we kind of just go into international vaults, which
1:02:19
we have right now. We know Vietnam is getting a vault and just released
1:02:24
today we have Hamburg, Germany, and Shanghai, China getting vaults, right,
1:02:30
any other vaults announced? Madrid, Florence, Hamburg, Shanghai, Vietnam.
1:02:36
That's it, right, yep, those are the ones. So five,
1:02:40
so we've had five US vaults. Now we're having five the last America.
1:02:47
But there's there's a there's an elephant in the world in the room.
1:02:54
What's that We have nationals? US nationals? Oh, yes, I don't
1:03:00
know what's going to happen with overseas nationals. It's not on my not on
1:03:06
my to do list from Gigi, so I must not be in charge of
1:03:10
that. Number one, we have literally almost no information about nationals. We
1:03:20
have all the information you need. It's at gen Con YEP. You can
1:03:23
buy tickets and you're gonna play Deforge. And what do I win? Will
1:03:29
you? Probably nothing? Let's say, on the off chance, oh what
1:03:37
what could you win? What could I pat on the back? Crisp pie
1:03:42
five? Yeah, some disprizes from twenty twenty sheets. We know nothing.
1:03:55
I mean there are a few of those like old kits that there's not that
1:04:03
many things out there, right, like like the Grand Championship kits and stuff
1:04:10
like, Yeah, I really you're right. I have absolutely no idea what
1:04:15
they're going to do. Can they do? They prize them very similar to
1:04:20
vaults, because do I get a World's in? I mean, they could
1:04:26
just print pretty certain the US national geo tag decks, right, they could
1:04:30
do that. Yeah, act I think in some ways that's even a more
1:04:35
interesting geo tag than the random cities were playing in. And did the decks
1:04:43
say Baltimore or Glenn They said Baltimore. Okay, so they said Baltimore.
1:04:50
They should have, but they didn't because it's it's funny because they put Roseville
1:04:57
but not Minneapolis because it was in Roseville. Yeah, but this was not
1:05:03
in Baltimorenie, Yeah, Glenn Burnie, what is it like across the street
1:05:10
thing or that was just the closest large city. It's like it's like it's
1:05:14
you played in Greenfield for US and you call it Milwaukee. I mean,
1:05:20
yeah, the thing calling it Milwaukee. But it's just weird to call Roseville
1:05:27
and not call it Minneapolis or Twin Cities or something. Yeah, mm hmm,
1:05:33
because like nobody nobody gets Roseville and goes I know where Roseville is.
1:05:40
I know where Roseville is. That's why because my company is based out of
1:05:43
Minnesota. Well so, well we certainly know because we go there. But
1:05:47
like you know what I'm saying, Like, if you've got a deck that's
1:05:50
a Glenn Burry, you'd be like, where's a Glenn Burry? M hmm.
1:05:57
But news coming out from today there's a new international Vaults. Hamburg,
1:06:03
Germany and Shanghai, China both will be getting a Vault tour. Congratulations Shanghai
1:06:10
and Hamburg. You don't have to see way, it's not necessarily true.
1:06:16
That's I guess true. And at the same note, I don't know,
1:06:23
like I want to say congratulations, But at the same note, it's like
1:06:25
I wonder what their attendance is going to be, but they're not, like
1:06:30
what is I mean, it's okay, So you're gonna get the geo tag
1:06:32
decks, right m hm? And uh oh shoot, do you get your
1:06:35
trophy yet? I'm in the mail in the trophies yea, I saw.
1:06:45
What do you I mean besides the geo tag decks and maybe some bragging rights
1:06:49
like there's no money to get flown the worlds Like, I don't know what
1:06:56
you're playing for. If you're overseas, I guess just brags. Yeah,
1:07:00
you're playing for a world invite. You're playing for the exact same things we're
1:07:03
playing for. Yeah, just seems a lot different when it's I mean,
1:07:08
I don't know what the class is to fly from wherever to It depends where
1:07:13
you are, but one thousand to fifteen dollars is going to be a typical
1:07:16
round trip flight to be as little as seven hundred bucks. Yeah, what
1:07:25
I don't know, just I'm interested c KFC this year. Lots of questions
1:07:30
for at least for me surrounding that. Yeah, I mean we'll learn more
1:07:35
we know when it is so, but I got a request off. Yeah,
1:07:40
so weirdly, I'm actually going to be in Germany that weekend, just
1:07:46
the other side of Germany. So Germany is not very big, is it.
1:07:51
I mean a busy doing stuff so during the weekend, Yes, it's
1:08:00
a family vacation. Oh, family vacation. Not like Yes, you get
1:08:04
all sorts of weird places overseas for your job too, That is true.
1:08:10
That happens sometimes. So like if you were to be like, oh,
1:08:13
I'm going to Hamburg, Germany because that's where my work's sending me, I
1:08:15
mean that would be awesome because then I would totally make it happen. I'd
1:08:18
also not be surprised at all whatsoever. Yeah. Yeah, No, I'm
1:08:24
going to be in Dusseldorf. Uh, which is on You didn't say that
1:08:28
nearly angry enough staying angrier, I'm gonna say it in German. It's gonna
1:08:35
be a dusel dwarf. That's a little angry or we're getting there. We'll
1:08:41
work on it later. Sure, but I mean fault tours. Yeah,
1:08:48
I still want to know more about nationals. What are we looking at?
1:08:53
What's included? What now separates a national from a vault tour? Like,
1:08:58
how are these those our question we're waiting to hear. How are the how
1:09:00
are these two things now different from each other? Is not to be just
1:09:04
the same thing, just there is a little bit that. So they sent
1:09:11
all three quests for applications. I imagine we will find out what there is
1:09:16
when they announce where the events are going to be as far as nationals or
1:09:24
yes, I don't suppose you're making a trip to Canada this year, are
1:09:29
you? I not heard the dates. I just wanted proud to go to
1:09:38
Canada and ruin it two years running, that's all that would be nice.
1:09:44
Yeah, you know, it depends exactly where it is and dates. But
1:09:46
if it's in the same place that was a travel nightmare for me. Really
1:09:55
it is now creatives throwing it away. Yes, So the m KFC,
1:10:01
which is the Midwest Key Forge Community Open Charity Open Charity Open, is not
1:10:11
in Saint Louis this year. It's over in Illinois. Oh yeah, one
1:10:16
set again, that's we have that. I haven't. I think where in
1:10:23
Illinois is it? And see how far driving this. It's further than I
1:10:26
thought it was going to be. It's it's down towards the tit down towards
1:10:32
the bottom. It's close to Saint Louis, Okay. At the Impact Gaming
1:10:38
Center, Fairview Heights, Illinois. Seal Tournament is October twelfth, starting at
1:10:45
noon. Point dollar entry and there's an arc on tournament October thirteenth. Registration
1:10:50
at noon, a ten dollar entry and first place any sherman receive the handmade
1:10:57
trophies, which is if you have watched our channels, they have a player
1:11:00
in that area who makes does like three the trophies of cards and they are
1:11:06
Yeah, they are really phenomenal. Last year's was really good. I forgot
1:11:12
what it was, but it was logos with a globe, right, Yeah,
1:11:15
it had floated, it like floated around. It was really cool.
1:11:19
They are really amazing. They're definitely worth going and just playing for that.
1:11:24
It's a thirteen hour drive for me. Yeah, it's a long drive.
1:11:28
I think it's like six for us. It was a little further than I
1:11:30
thought it was gonna be. I was like, oh, it'll be at
1:11:32
Illinois, so not so bad. But it's like at the bottom of Illinois,
1:11:35
which wolf Illinois is one of them long states topping the bottom. Yep,
1:11:42
but that it is. Uh, it has always been a great event.
1:11:45
We have made it to a few of them, even when they were
1:11:50
in Saint Louis. Yeah, had a great time. Yeah, So it's
1:11:55
definitely one that's on my calendar. If it fits. We'll get hot there
1:12:02
and it's always good time. We're getting beat by him as it happened,
1:12:10
but yeah, whatever, one of the two. But that's gonna do it
1:12:14
for us this week, guys. Hopefully we'll get some uh, we'll get
1:12:18
some more information. We'll have a nice little breakdown next week for more more
1:12:24
Vault Valtimore and then uh, we just got to talk to local cars see
1:12:28
if he wants to come on give us the skinny about all of what happened
1:12:32
with the with the dinner with CTP. Fairview Heights is uh, it really
1:12:41
is St. Louis. It's just on the Illinois side, isn't it close
1:12:46
to like Collinsville? Yes, that kind of thing. If if the event
1:12:51
was to be run there as a Vault tour, the deaths would say Saint
1:12:55
Louis. It's that kind of look, it's that kind of close. Yeah,
1:13:00
it's that kind of close. When we went to Collinsville, literally the
1:13:01
place we stayed was in Saint Louis. Maybe it wasn't even technically Collinsville.
1:13:06
We stayed at Airbnb. You stayed at the hotel. I was at the
1:13:11
A, B and B with Airbnb with the and Eric. I know you
1:13:15
and you. I forget who you went with, but you guys were a
1:13:19
lot closer. But that will do it for us this week. Thank you
1:13:24
so much for listening. Who's gonna take euok spot? Uh? We should
1:13:30
all just do it. We'll see y'all next week for everyone. Maybe the
1:13:38
births of f b W you something something key forged community, something something orge
1:13:47
community. Great to be Monday, Somebody call me track, somebody pull me train,
