Site News Inaugural RipLab draft: February 9th (Sunday)

[Jason Waddell]

Must... Resist.... Urge... For.. Sarcasm....

If we start getting more then we just make two 16 man pods, then do a second draft for the people that top 4 each of those. We get another 3 rounds of cubing, unless people have time commitments.

Yeah, if this becomes a thing that people like we can start advertising a bit more widely. I am sure I could get some of my cubers online to fill out a 16-person event, but starting at 8PM Antwerp time means there would be no time for us to do runbacks.

That is the thing that I figured would be the biggest issue was fighting time zones since we have people for each end of the pond.

 

[Jonas]

Apparently my usename on skype was snorful.

Skype is one of the few things I dislike on win 8.

I hardly know how to work it at all, since i hardly use it.

 

[Changling Bob]

found you Blanton sent friend request.

i can't seem to find Jonas or Changeling Bob based on the names they gave me. you could always try adding me, again its airdashcancel

note spelling

or rather, years old misspelling but you CAN'T GO BACK ON INTERNET NAMES

 

[anotak]

sent requests

 

[Jason Waddell]

Dom are you okay with me posting your Skype name in the OP?

 

[Dom Harvey]

sure, with the caveat that I set up Skype when I was like 15 and am too lazy to make a new account

 

[Eric Chan]

If we get enough for a second draft pod, do we want to do an earlier Sunday session for the Europeans, say in the afternoon for you guys? I think Sunday morning EST might actually work better for me.

 

[anotak]

for those wondering you can type /alertsoff to keep the skype window from destroying you with the amount of chat in the group

/alertson to get it back

I think for now let's just launch one this week, and if it doesn't suck balls we can get more people in on it. I probably never want to do more than one draft in a day though, because I'm an old man.

 

[Alex Blanton]

Uh, if there isn't another Alex here, you can just call me Alex. No need to keep typing my last name.

 

[James Stevenson]

This is a dumb question, but does that mean 7pm UK time?

 

[Jason Waddell]

This is a dumb question, but does that mean 7pm UK time?

Yup.

 

[Dom Harvey]

*7pm real time

 

[Jonas]

20:00 in the real world

 

[VibeBox]

someone should really record as much as they can for the youtube channel. if you want to attract people to it you have to show them

 

[negativeview]

I was considering asking about being a spectator. I'm interested, but can't commit to playing with a 2 year old. It's far more likely that I could record spectator mode though as I used to do youtube videos and have the setup for it. I wouldn't have to be at the keyboard the entire time, so the kid won't matter in that regard...

Let me know if you want to discuss further the logistics of that.

 

[Lucre]

I don't think I'll be making it lads, I've got only this Sunday to finish my friend's apartment before she's of to SF.

 

[Jason Waddell]

Anybody else want to join the open slot? I'll be streaming, of course.

 

[Jonas]

How long do we think it will take, what with trying out tech and everything? I pretty much have until midnight, but since I probably won't be in the winner bracket, I might just be able to finish any games left on monday or some other day?

 

[Nlin]

I can join in on Sunday if you still have a spot available!

 

[Jason Waddell]

Here's the version of the cube we'll be playing: http://tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/jasonwaddellfeb9/

Updated Utility Land pile is in my thread's OP.

Call me optimistic but I don't think it'll take more than four hours. Tech shouldn't be so difficult. I hope.

 

[Jason Waddell]

By the way I'm recording this draft so if you beat me maybe you'll be featured in an article or something.

 

[James Stevenson]

what are you using to record?
