I think I may actually be able to come in to the city for this. I have gotten a couple other guys playing out here in PA so I'll ask them if they want to come. We probably wouldn't be able to stay for the melee, and probably would head back after the joust, unless I come alone, then I may stay and visit friends sat night.

I doubt my deck will be any good, but should still be entertaining...

Those of us following Corey's deckbuilding tips likely already have 2-3 copies in ours.

Hey--don't trash the shadow parasites. I think the current iteration of my deck plays 3x those and 0x Shadow Seers. Man, really wish those Seers were bicons...that lonely intrigue icon is pretty annoying (even if it's balanced). Also, I'm sure there will be plenty of Targ this time around, so they're going to be pulling their weight.

Chances are I'll be playing Targ, though I'll also point out that I played Martell and Targ before they were considered good (Martell first, then Targ), and played maesters at regionals last year when only 2 chains were out and few others were playing it. Basically, the underdog houses are fun...though I just can't bring myself to play Bara or Lanni this year to continue the trend. Maybe I'll build something "junky" like Targ armies and see how it does?

By the way, if anyone is looking for anti-Targ tech, consider Dissension. My Targ deck is comprised of like 3/4 allies or refugees. It's really quite sad how consistent Dissension is against my deck.

~Hey, man. They're great on setup and good claim soak.

 

In all seriousness, I can personally attest that they are great in a Targ mirror matchup, but otherwise rather blah.

It won't matter, it'll be a junky build of Targ anyway. ;-)

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

And as to Dan Strouhal not playing Targaryen in a tournament when Targaryen is good -- well, we'll see on the morning of the tourney whether there are any pigs to be seen doing a flyby of Manhattan. :-P

Hi Erick,

As Jim (OrangeDragon) mentioned on the FFG thread, joust will be the "Regional Champion" but we will have a decent amount of prize support for the melee too. I really hope people show for the melee...melee is becoming much more fun these days.

As an aside, I see that two Targ maester decks took 1st and 2nd at the recent Spanish "weekly" tourney (20 participants). The novelty of that build is beginning to wear off...I may need to look elsewhere for a regionals joust deck :(

Cheers,

Dan

So the regional title is just the joust?

Well, the big "glass" trophy will go to the joust, but the melee will definitely be a full-fledged event on Sunday. I expect most of the people will attend both.

The fee for the joust is slightly higher, given the extra costs associated with the trophy, etc.

Melee will most likely be 3 rounds + finals...just like the DC tourney. We'll have full prizes for the melee as well.

Best,

Dan

Info on the melee? From what it sounds like the regional is a joust, and the melee is a side event -- is that correct? It is the title determined by both?

The New York Night’s Watch is excited to announce the 2012 Kingsmoot in the East, New York City’s regionals event.

Date/Time: Saturday, April 28 @ 11:00am (Joust); Sunday, April 29 @ 10:00am (Melee)

Location: Citigroup Center Public Atrium, 153 E 53rd St., New York, NY 10022

Entrance Fee: $10 for Joust, $5 for melee; $12 for both (cash payable on-site)

Contacts: Rich Allison and Dan Strouhal, nightsw...@gmail.com

The competition will follow standard FFG guidelines for Joust (1v1) and Melee (multiplayer) competition. FFG lists full rules for competitive play on its website (www.fantasyflightgames.com). The Joust will include four 50-minute preliminary rounds of “Swiss” styled 1 vs. 1 pairing, with cut to top eight for quarter-finals. (The cut to top 8 regardless of tourney size is intended to ensure anyone with a good record has the chance to break to out-rounds.)

Decklists will be required for this event but will NOT be shared after the tourney. These will be used only to resolve any questions about deck legality, if needed.

Prize Support
In addition to the official FFG regionals kit, the NYC Kingsmoot in the East will award the following prizes:

--Kingsmoot in the East glass trophy for the Joust Champion
--Custom-designed, double-sided “NY Champion House Card” for both Joust and Melee champions (view photohttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxAvkuucRC6RZ3pHaVE5UlhUejI1c2xtNy1sdFlEQQ/edit)
--2x Gift Cards for a free chapter pack from the Compleat Strategist

For questions about the event, prizes, or legality of cards, please contact Dan with the NYC Night’s
Watch at NightsW...@gmail.com

So what is the price range people are looking at? I'm finding stuff now that is average $300 per night for Friday/Saturday (total, so split among whoever), and I could pay a bit extra if necessary, for my part, if anyone is particularly strapped for cash (just can't replace an entire person at $300 per night).

Kyle

[Dennis Harrison]

I would be looking for a place for Sat. night only. but $100 would be max for me for my share for the night.

I could also rent a black van and put a mattress in the back. Any takers? I have candy!

[Adam Cerbone]

Actually that would be a lot cheaper than a hotel room for a night, yes?  :-)

Thank you,

[Kyle Szklenski]

Of course - I am nothing if not cheap.

[Kyle Szklenski]

Hey all,

I just realized we could do a hostel. Anyone know anything about what to expect in an NYC hostel? I found one here http://www.hostels.com/maps/NY-Moore-Hostel/57176 that seems to have a 6-bed place for ~$60 per person, for one night, so $120 for both nights total (if you're staying both nights, I'd make up the difference if you were only staying one night).

Let me know what you think. Otherwise, I'm just going to book a hotel for myself and one other (meaning one other bed), and call it a night.

Kyle

[Dennis Harrison]

I dunno, a hostel didn't work out too well for those ladies in that movie :P

I was too afeared to try the brothel (almost what I wrote originally, then decided it was better than a hostel anyway), so instead, I got a hotel room with two beds. Saturday night bed is open, and we'd probably have room on the floor for one or two more, in addition to which I do not use pillows, so whoever gets the floor can have all of my pillows. The total price for both nights is ~$600 - sounds like a lot, but split among multiple people isn't too bad. I'll go ahead and offer a discount too. I don't know how much it's going to be - depends on the interest, but I promise it will help any of you cheap bastards (it will be $100 or less per person total, aside from myself of course - I'll make up the difference). Anyway, let me know what's up and if you're interested.

Kyle
