Magic: The Gathering at the Competitions

[Mr.G]

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...

[Dan-o]

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.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Hmmmm me personally? I hope to get as many hugs as possible. What a great game. So is nationals twister.

I'll be at GLR, but I can't play Magic...

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.

[DarMagi]

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.

[Todd Derbyshire]

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?
