WBC 2014

OK now that the Women's Circle is over (anyone got a knitting pattern for a warm jumper?) we can focus on a roll call. This is what I think I know. If you are not on the list then please add a post and I'll adjust it. If I put you on here and you aren't coming (or you know someone definitely isn't coming), do the same.

Knitting Circle? The words of a cookie-less man. Tall talk today...salty tears of despair later.


Josh Look is out. All the ball busting and coercion in the world couldn't get him to agree to go.

Josh Look is dead to me.

Any Neuroshima Hex fans here? I've not played the cardboard version of the game in eons and I suck at the digital version--so of course I picked up 3.0 and the new units off the Portal website [some of which were already included in the US release, I subsequently discovered; but when making 1 order from Poland and hoping it all made it here safe and sound, I kind of figured it was better to be safe than sorry--but that worked out to my benefit anyway as they threw in all the somewhat-hard-to-find promos they'd been handing out around European cons, like the actual die-cut "Alabama" units and a couple of others by way of a "thanks for buying all our stuff!"]

Anyone interested in playing the old or new version of the game? Should I devote some trunk space to it?

Also, is anyone bringing Wings-, Sails-, or X-Wing-of-Glory? Should I bring anything? I'd really like to try Sails if there's an interested party but that's absolutely something I'd only bring if we had a dedicated time slot as I have to unbox that set and figure out a storage/haulage solution...

Oh, and should I bother to bring Imperial/I2030 or should I just assume there will be a copy we can snag from the library? I enjoyed the hell out of that last year and would dearly love to play it again....

If I make it I will bring Wings of Glory, and plenty for everyone. But -- if I make it it will be Thursday-Friday-Saturday at best. I'd love to get another shot at Sails of Glory since I got wiped out in two turns the first time I played.

If? If you make it?

What the shit, Sag?!

You've been talking the talk for 6 months now. Don't go all "Josh Look" on us.

I gotta admit Josh not being there is really making the decision to stay home look much more attractive.

I'll be there Thursday and Friday fo' sho'. Saturday will depend on whether my wife and spawn are in VA or ME. If they're in ME, I'll stick around most of the day on Saturday after hotel checkout and game. If they're in VA, Saturday is more of a question mark as it is not covered by my Home Card event play (5CP-If played for the event: For any impulse in which Nanny Coverage is present in the Capital [M-F excl. holidays], shirk all parenting responsibilities and instantly transport to any friendly-controlled space on the map.)

Justin, feel free to PM me with any auction proxy bid requests once the list is published.

Can someone bring City/Mall of Horror? I'd really like to give it a go with a few beers.
