Sorry if this is a little short, I’m still pissed about game 4.


Okay here is the obligitory Mirkwood Tuesday night TR. Pre-Stuff I was going with a TIGIH high destiny retrieval for the LS and AOTBS crap fro DS. On a less-happy note Herb was finally back, and I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, that maybe he had gotten better to play during his absence, he hadn’t, just read game 4.

Game 1 My DS vs. Josh Grace and his TIGIH

Okay thhis Game sucked, I got nothing that I needed early, and Josh is a great player and took advantage of it. I never took Luke with Paply, I tried to battle him once, with Fett w/Gun and Bane, plus Jabbas Through and Hidden Weapons, I missed on the HW, I missed on the Shot (have a few 7’s in the deck) then he played Insertion Planning, and I drew crap for destinys, the rest of the game was him chasing me around docking bays while he drained for a lot, and I drained for a little. A couple late On the Edges helped his Diff.

Highs: Uh... Josh is a good guy and fun to play
Lows: Fett and Bane getting @#$% slapped by some Punk jedi-wannabe.
Ugly: Um..where to begin

Game 2 my LS vs. Scott Poster and his RalOps.

Okay I played against his deck last week, so I had a good Idea what to do, sop this is sorta how the game went. I signaled on my first turn for Ounee Ta, Thns I moved Luke to the backdoor, and just stacked characters at his SpacePort DB, I also put out order to Engage, so he had to keep dropping guys there to battle me. I would just lose 1 guy, while he lost at least 1 every turn from attrition, so the fact that I could throw more crap at him, plus a couple on/off the edges for about 10 force, and Lukes steady drain of 3 at the back door did him in.

Highs: fun game, Scott is a good opponent, and my deck which was built last night worked well, doing what it needed to do, keep 1 of his sites, and keep my drains and retrieval going.
Lows: Scott never found Vader, he would have helped him immensly
Ugly: The final battle where he lost 2 characters and a walker, plus 2 from Orimarkko, and stacked 1

Game 3 my DS vs. Tony Lawrence and his HB flip Matching Pilots.

Okay this game was really wierd, Tony is someone I know really well I give him rides to and from a lot of Tourneys, and he really is a nice kid, a bit naive, but a nice kid none the less. I’ve played his deck a bunh of times before, and I know what to do, since I have very little space, I was just going to get zUckuss and Bossk and wait for the right time to jump him. Which was when he put Luke in R2 in Red 5 alone at sullust. Drop Blast Door Controls, and my ships battle, he loses everything. He came down to the ground a couple times, but never with luke so after I flipped my objective on the 1st turn (pull spaceport DB, deploy to Corescant, drop a free VIgo and move Xixor). I just kept pinging him for direct damage, and the few times he came to the ground He was beaten like a little @#$% by my Bounty Hunters he just stayed in space, but didn’t spread out to try and out damage me till it was too late.

FW by 16

Highs: AOTBS working wonders never cease, probing his base on the 2nd try
Lows: Tony wasn’t happy and @#$%ed that he made some mistakes, plus I felt dirty beating him as badly as I did, the game was never in doubt.
Ugly. Bossk and Zuckass (and a tun later 4-lom) owning any system they went to. against a pure space deck

Game 4 my LS vs. Herb Macy and His AOTBS start PotF to flip first turn

Okay this was a game that almost made me not write this report, I have never liked Playing Herb, and this was by far the worst game he has ever played. He started, and deployed Palpy to the Endor DB, I moved LUke over, and got him captured, now his objective is pinging me, but I’m getting him. He moved Palpy to the BackDoor, and I moved Ben Kenobi, Han w/ Gun and Figrin Dan there, Put out Order to engage, and said go. He dropped Bane and the 2 droids, battle, mindscan Han, and 4-lom Ben, I shoot at 4-Lom and miss, he captures Han with Iggy ans sends him to the used pile (good I have another in hand) I swing with Ben and hit Palpy. He tries to Fire with Bane (since he mindscand Han) and I said no. Then he said well I’m still going to play Jabbas through.. I said no it is a just Action and you can’t he kinda @#$%ed, and I said I’m not going to let you play it. He sat there for like 5 minutes (really the game next to us went through 2 full turns). and asked again why I wouldn’t let him play it. He says that he would let me, I said bullSh!t. Then he says that he is going to play really slow since now he has to read all the cards really closely. To make a long Story short The TD came over 5 minutes later and said that we had a half an hour and If I won by more than 30 I win the Tourney. Herb was as slow as possible, even waiting for a while on automatic actions, and since I’m not a whiner, I didn’t @#$% about his stalling, thinking that I will not time out, since I have never in about 350 sactioned games timed out. Well to make a long rant short, The game timed out, and I won by 25, had Herb not been a @#$%, I would have won the tourney, since I still had a few retrieval cards, and my reserve deck stacked, plus I was figgin every trun and winning. So herb cost me the Tournament. If anyone out there wants to pass on a message to Herb if he pulls this Crap on me ever again, I will phisically hurt him. I will also watch very closely any game with me, if he even seems to think about something for longer that a half-second I’m calling the TD over to keep him from stalling. I really hate timed games, it’s like Kissing your sister (no not your sister, she’s hot, YOUR sister, now do you see what I mean?)

TW by 25. God damnit I hate Herb for this, that cost me the ID foil that I have been trying like hell to get.

Highs: I beat Herb like the rred-headed Bisexual midget stepchild that he is.
Lows; See above
Ugly: Herb.

Props:
Josh, Scott and Tony for Fun games
Mike raveling for Winning
Road Dogg for winning at Raw Deal
Chad and Jerry for playnig Raw Deal
Graham for loaning me that card (i know I still have it, i’ll get it back to you, although you still have my eminem CD)
A very compeptive tourney (4 games and no undefeateds)


Slops:
Justin for allowing School to interfere with SWCCG thereby creating a bye.
Mike R. for driving Herb (and not running him over)
Grace for no longer being immune to the Jeffries

And the extra special super duper slops go the the red-headed Bisexual midget step-child himself Herb Macy, who better pray I calm down before I play him again, or he won’t be able to walk ouut of the tournament (and nobody will convict me, since no one will see it, besides he swung at me)

Angrily yours
