(if you pre-registered to the EC on http://ec2010vtes.com , want to attend
the Legendary Vampire but never sent an e-mail to
legendar...@yahoo.fr, please read carefully, because that means you're
absolutely not pre-registered to the Legendary Vampire and pre-registration
will be closed after wednesday, october 27th, 1:00 PM)

Fellow Methuselah,

this message is an update (as of october 17th) about the pre-registered
players to the Legendary Vampire and the second reminder of the registration
process. It also sets a deadline for pre-registration by e-mail to
Wednesday, October 27th, 1:00 PM (french time).

-The Legendary Vampire (LV) tournament will have exactly 25 players (no
more, no less). The players who want to attend the LV *must* pre-register
(even if they filled the form on the EC site http://ec2010vtes.com and
independently of their ranking) by e-mail, *before Wednesday, October 27th
at 1:00 PM*. To do that, simply send an e-mail to legendar...@yahoo.fr
(legendary dot vampire at yahoo dot fr) and include the following
information :
*************************************************
-first name
-last name
-VEKN number
-something short like "I'd like to attend the LV"
-tell me if you will be present at the welcome party between 6:30 PM and
7:30PM for the registration to LV
*************************************************
-During the Welcome Party (WP) at the R.I.P (venue of EC tournaments and
hotel for many players), on Thursday, October 28th, between 6:30PM and
7:30PM, the 25 pre-registered players will register (or will be registered
on my behalf if they told me they won't be able to attend the WP, or if they
might not make it in time). They will be given a card serving as a ticket
for the LV. The people who will be #26 and #27 will also be given a ticket,
which will only be used as a last resort - those people will attend the LCQ
if nothing goes wrong from the LV-point of view.
-The next day, on Friday, October 29th, the registered players will give
their tickets to Antonio Cobo Cuenca, who will be the official organizer and
Head Judge of the LV, using the same schedule as all tournements schedule
for the week-end (i.e. registration for table seating between 8:45 and 9:45
AM - see http://ec2010vtes.com for details). If all goes well, the 25
players who registered the day before will simply play the LV. If something
goes wrong (one of the 25 top dogs didn't wake up on time, is unable to play
due to excess alcohol or any leisurely activity from the night before,
whatever), then the player #26 will be called to replace whoever is missing,
same for #27.

We currently have 23 properly pre-registered players to LV, who belong to
the top 25 of pre-registered players to EC, who will be there on Friday and
who didn't give up their LV slot (world ranks given are as of september
13th) :

current LV slot as of october 17th / First Name / Last name / VEKN number /
pre-registration to LV is OK ? / world rank as of september 13th /
attendance at Welcome Party (WP) between 6:30PM and 7:30PM for the LV
registration ?

#2 Pierre Tran-Van 3200016 : OK (world rank #4) (will be present at WP)

#7 Tomasz Izydorczyk 1002225 : OK (world rank #15) (won't likely be at WP)
#8 Izaak Havelaar 1002863 : OK (world rank #16) (and might change his mind
if the other top dogs don't show up) (will try to be at WP, depends on
traffic)
#9 Erol �ng�n 8450001 : OK (world rank #18) (will try to be at WP)
#10 Marcin Watras 4390024 : OK (world rank #19) (will be present at WP)

#13 Arnaud Baigts 3200192 : OK (world rank #25) (will be present at WP)
#14 Cesar Ruiperez 2790002 : OK (world rank #29) (will be present at WP)
#15 Michael Heyder 8580055 : OK (world rank #30) (arrives at Gare du Nord at
7PM, might arrive at RIP at 8PM)
#16 Are Vaskela 3870022 : OK (world rank #34) (will be present at WP)
#17 Patrick Benoit 1004183 : OK (world rank #36) (will be present at WP)
#18 Jakub Baranski 5260001 : OK (world rank #38) (should be present at WP)
#19 Alessandro Donati 4740000 : OK (world rank #39) (will likely be present
at WP, arrives at Beauvais at 15:20)
#20 Ben Peal 2050001 : OK (world rank #40) (will be present at WP)
#21 Vincent RIPOLL 3200188 : OK (world rank #42) (will be present at WP)
#22 Csaba Greguss 3540127 : OK (world rank #45) (was formerly top 26th
pre-registered player to EC, is now top 24th since 2 players from the top 25
either couldn't or wouldn't attend the LV) (will try to be at WP)
#23 Isak Bj�rmark Esbj�rnsson 3380058 : OK (world rank #56) (will be present
at WP)

We also have 5 players who are not in the top 25 of the pre-registered
players to EC, but who did properly write an e-mail to
legendar...@yahoo.fr and who will have priority in filling any
available slots, according to their ranking (2 slots for the moment, if
you've read carefully), during the registration process which will happen
during the Welcome Party (thursday 28th october, 6:30PM-7:30PM)

#24 Yoann Guyader 1002786 : OK (world rank #63) (won't be at the WP)
#25 Fran�ois Greiner 3200293 : OK (world rank #69) (should be present at WP)
John Best 1005984 : OK (world rank #110) (will be at WP)
David Tatu 2020002 : OK (world rank #113) (plans to be at WP)
Mathias Skubich 1009990 : OK (no rank) (should be present at WP)

Please note that with the current list, for the time being John Best, David
Tatu and Mathias Skubich do not get any LV slot; however, in the event some
of the 25 would-be players either somehow cannot come to Paris at all, or
don't show up during the LV itself (i.e. on Friday, october 29th), then John
Best would be the first to be called to replace the first missing player,
then David Tatu for the second missing player, etc. I personnally doubt any
of the 25 players wouldn't show up - maybe just one or two who couldn't wake
up or something, but no more - so those players should consider odds are
they will simply play in the LCQ. Still with that current list, John Best
and David Tatu can attend the Welcome Party pre-registration, so they will
get back-up tickets #26 and #27 for the LV.

Finally, the following 2 players belong to the top 25 pre-registered players
to EC, but *are not yet pre-registered to the LV*, since they did not send
the mail to legendar...@yahoo.fr (with first name, last name, VEKN
number, tell me "I want to play the LV" and tell me if you'll be there
during the Welcome Party between 6:30PM and 7:30PM for the registration).
One of them (Hugh) did communicate about a possible attendance depending on
different factors, but didn't pre-register yet. All of them received an
e-mail to remind them of the LV pre-registration process, to the adress they
gave when filling the EC registration form. They can still pre-register,
reminding the deadline for pre-registration is set to wednesday, october
27th, 1:00PM.

-Hugh Angseesing currently not pre-registered to LV (currently undecided
between attending the LV vs attending the LCQ)
-Danilo Torrisi currently not pre-registered to LV (pre-registered to EC
recently, is currently top 25th of the pre-registered players to EC)

Note : 2 players from the top 25 of pre-registered players to EC are removed
from the LV list : Ruben Feldman unfortunately cannot attend the LV since he
arrives on Friday evening or saturday, and Benoit Moyen, who decided to play
the LCQ.

Please note, again, the e-mail pre-registration process will be closed on
Wednesday, October 27th at 1:00 PM. I will no longer check for new
pre-registration requests after that time, being simply too busy by other EC
issues related to organization. The LV announcement about the registration
process is up since september 19th
(http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/866efb41779008e6,
there is an announcement as well on the EC site and in the 2 french forums),
was reminded a first time on october 5th
(http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad/msg/c4d567ca9a6db49a)
and a second time today. All it takes is 1 minute to pre-register, so if
players didn't bother to take 1 minute to do it, I won't take 1 second to
hear any complaint after Wednesday, October 27th, 1:00PM. I will simply use,
during the welcome party, the list of pre-registered players established on
october 27th to fill any vacant slot.

Finally, as additional reminders, the following threads contain information
about the LV:

Legendary Vampire announcement, rules and F.A.Q:

A final reminder will be posted next week-end, on usenet, in the
international section of the VEKN french forum, and by e-mail to the
involved players or would-be players.

thanks

(snip LV stuff)
Danilo Torrisi is in. Update :

#22 Danilo Torrisi 3460018 : OK (world rank #44) (will be present at WP)
#23 Csaba Greguss 3540127 : OK (world rank #45) (was formerly top 26th


pre-registered player to EC, is now top 24th since 2 players from the top 25
either couldn't or wouldn't attend the LV) (will try to be at WP)

#24 Isak Bj�rmark Esbj�rnsson 3380058 : OK (world rank #56) (will be present
at WP)

Update for the 5 players who are not in the top 25 of the pre-registered


players to EC, but who did properly write an e-mail to
legendar...@yahoo.fr and who will have priority in filling any
available slots, according to their ranking (2 slots for the moment, if
you've read carefully), during the registration process which will happen
during the Welcome Party (thursday 28th october, 6:30PM-7:30PM)

#25 Yoann Guyader 1002786 : OK (world rank #63) (won't be at the WP)


Fran�ois Greiner 3200293 : OK (world rank #69) (should be present at WP)
John Best 1005984 : OK (world rank #110) (will be at WP)
David Tatu 2020002 : OK (world rank #113) (plans to be at WP)
Mathias Skubich 1009990 : OK (no rank) (should be present at WP)

Fran�ois Greiner therefore becomes the first to get any back-up LV slot.

Hugh Angseesing is currently the only player belonging to the top 25 of
pre-registered players to EC (barring other players who either couldn't or
wouldn't attend the LV) who is not pre-registered to LV.
