Magic: The Gathering at the Competitions
 
I am an avid Magic: The Gathering Player and was just wondering if there was a following in the FIRST Community. If you Don't know Magic is a Stratedgy Based Collectible Card Game. I was hoping to maby play a few games and maby even orginize a some sort of tournament at the competitions that I attend. My team will be at Finger Lakes, Great Lakes, and Nats. Let me know if your interested...

G/L to all teams this year...................

We seem to have the magic card master on our team. Here's a pic of him from the NJ regional last year:

While we're on the topic of games... there have to be some people who'd be interested in a good round of diplomacy...

Yeah, I was kinda wondering that too. Come on. You spent 6 weeks building a bot, and however many weeks waiting for your competition(s) to arrive, and when you get to competition in front of all those bots you want to play cards? I'm not a fan of magic, but my feelings would not change if someone were to bring a foosball table and start playing. You have 3 days per competition that you get to show off all the amazing stuff you did for 6 weeks. Why play cards?

You need something to do while the pits are closed. Why not play cards? Or Zendo, or Risk, or Homeworlds, or Yahtzee, or...

Wait! Pits close? what am i going to do? Maybe I'll just run in circles til my head explodes thinking about the next day of comps. Ehh, i guess you're right, if you're lodging with other teams. But if I see those cards.......

Hehe, have your fun.

I LOVE THAT GAME, not to mention i'm pretty good at it. And i have a few teammates going to competition that play. Wow it maybe possible over 3 nights to get a full game in, that'd be amazing.

Cards..... im not a fan of magic, those games seem to come and go, but i think we might have one player on our team... anyways he seems like he would play magic, but i don't really know. lol well anyways, sound slike fun while the pits are closed...........sadly we have to do something while the pits our closed, as much as i hate to say the pits are closed, its hurts me sooo. lol but games are a good deal as we usually just sit in the stands bored out of heads when the pits are closed - really fun!! haha, well yea games are good, up for a good round of ddr, but i guess no one will be able to bring that a competition - too bad...

I almost added Halo and DDR to my list of recreational activities above. I decided to leave them off because they require electricity (and perhaps a television), making them a little less convenient than a board game. But I'm sure some students will be turning their hotel rooms into network dens or arcades in the evenings.

You never know, someone might always bring a laptop with stepmania on it to the comp, for whenever there is some downtime. I have stepmania on my laptop along with an adapter for pads and I know atleast two other students with stepmania and a laptop. Now finding a place to play it would be a little harder then actually bringing it there. Magic isn't a bad idea though... I might end up bringing my cards now, in case there is anyone that is interested in playing when there is nothing at all to do.

I'm definitely into playing Magic during the lull's of the competition. What kind of format are you guys using to play: Extended or Type II???

Also does anybody have some Death Cloud's or Solemn Simulcrum they would want to trade over CD just PM me?
