Wow, that event was a blast. With a solid 4-1 placement and my only losing being to the
People’s Champion Mike Gerold I can’t really complain with how it turned
out. Came in 24th in
the end, getting jumped by those damn painters. But I’ve been working hard on that, so I’m hopeful that
things will be improved in the future.
This event concluded my use of the old dark elf book, and I have to say
a 31/11/1 record isn’t that bad for a year’s effort (that’s an over 70% win
record).
The event was smoothly run, including the posting of pairings on their
website (with notice on Twitter) before each round. I even could have found out my pairing the night before if I
had known at the time.
I think the best thing about this event were my opponents. Only one of my games even ranked as
“Average,” and after talking to the guy the next day I think it was just due to
his disappointment in the way the game was going and even then only because it
went so bad so fast. I don’t know
what he gave me for sports, but I have to say, I really felt bad after the game
for the way he went down. That I
think is the plus of the 100 or nothing system, but then my pulling back and
ending the game early by running away is the downside of the 100 or nothing
system. Either way a great time. To contrast, at the same time a bunch
of the Cali guys were playing at The Alamo, a Texas event. A friend of mine there told me that due
to his opponent’s slow playing he only got 10 turns in the first three games on
day 1. Makes me glad I went to
North Star and will keep me going back.
The Midwest guys are just that much better to play (always exceptions on
both cases… I’ve met a few great Texas guys).
