Post subject: The Official Spike! Magazine Trophy
I just found out the date for the offical Spike! tournament hosted by GW Canada, it will be on September 18th and 19th 2004. I will have a hand in organizing it so I hope to see you all there!

Cool that exactly one month before the Death Bowl. If you need any help organizing the Spike let me know.

I'll definately be attending the SPIKE... hopefully I can get my "free" ticket considering I carelessly left it at the convention. It wasn't signed by you anyways Mr. Watts so I would assume that means it isn't valid incase somebody else tries to use it.
Soooo... you gonna give me a new one... eh eh?

Leave room please for a large US contingent - I think the US coaches will be out in force... BTW, Neo and I stopped by the bunker in T-town this past weekend - the trophy is SWEET!

Anthony, September 18/19 in Toronto? Can you confirm that?
We were planning a familiy visit to Toronto this year, so this might be a nice way for me to get away from all those Persians for a couple of hours I need to know it soon though, because we want to fly with airline miles and those flights have to be booked quite early ...

Seriously, thanks Rod - glad to be home in sunny Florida, where a cold front is coming and it's going to get down to GASP... 40 degrees!!!
I'll be posting my tourney pics over at the http://www.house-rulez.com site (I see Cyberhare already has a few of his up) - but I'll post a link to some from the OMM site...
Take care!

No, thank goodness! I refused the original "Cake" - didn't know what the H**L it was and made my own, albeit reluctantly (waste of a good Guinness if you ask me... )

Come down to the TKC you coward. I still want to meet you on the field of battle
Clan_Skaven - Mar 03, 2004 - 11:23 AM
Post subject: ice cream in a beer
I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a beer once. It was an improvement!
Cause drinnking Blue Draught on its own is like drinking moose piss! Anything added to to Labbats Blue Draught will improve its taste!
Would I add Ice Cream to other beer? The answer is yes, but only to the nasty tasting ones, & only if it would improve the taste!
I will admit it I'm not a fan of Guiness (or should I say "Tree Bark")
But I have yet to try a scoop of ice cream in it.
On a closing note even though the Ice cream in the Blue was an improvement, it was still a rancid mixture. So although I'd say Ice Cream may possibly improve the "Tree Bark Taste" of a Guiness, rest assured you will never see me try it.

Even though I wont be able to attend, the coin is good news. With all of the stories of North American prize support evaporating it's good to hear there is some silver lining.

I may have the only Skaven team again. But then again, I have been thinking of a new idea, who knows I may suprise some of you with a new team!
I'll still probably lose though!

The Wood Elves will be taking a rest, they're 13-0-0 record at tournaments is quite tiring... So either Dwarves, Rotters or Necro's will be arriving at the SPIKE.
Zombie - Mar 12, 2004 - 03:34 PM
Post subject:
The only reason they're officially undefeated is because when i beat you in the Deathbowl final, it counted as a win for your rating!
But hey, i still fear them though, and i know i couldn't have beaten them all by myself. If i'm going to the Spike, i'll be glad not to see them around.
Da_Scum - Mar 13, 2004 - 10:12 PM

They simply got lucky against the Goblins...they're going down next time, as I plan on leaving NONE of them on the field! Bwahaha!

we'll see Mr. Scum, I don't think you'll be so lucky to next time

Post subject:
This from the man who made several dodges and picked up the ball and dodged out without a re-roll to salvage a desperate situation!
Which come to think of it sounds like some of the Goblin games...
It worked out in the end, it got you on a roll after that. That's why at the Spike! we'll be sure to have your team mugged on the way...
BUD - Mar 19, 2004 - 01:56 PM
Post subject:
heh... damnit! I don't like being mugged... unless its full of beer. =P
We'll see mr. scummy, i don't think your goblins will fare aswell against my Dwarves or Necro's that i'm bringing to the SPIKE.

Well i been looking into flights and I think i could afford it
gonna get 2 weeks off work have a week in italy for the italian open and then fly out to canada for a week
thing is if i book flights now I will want some sort of guarentee regarding the tournament deffo being those dates and that I get a ticket ;]
also some infor regarding more specifically in toronoto it is and some nearby hotels and prices would be cool, or if someone has a spare bed or something they could put me up in that would be cool

i'm hoping the tournament will accomadate more than 40 players, not sure if the Battle Bunker in Oakville will be able to hold more than that... but 60 would be amazing... my 2 cents

On that note I should have some room around the pub here somewhere...
And on that note may I suggest other TBBF'ers help some poor Europeans down on their luck (...and soon to be more with all the triple skulls at the Spike!...

As it's about time we made some of their points stay in North America where they rightfully belong.

Been so long since I was at a tourney that I forgot what it was like to totally stab your buddy in the back for no reason at all. I can't wait! hehe (Sorry, Bud) But seriously, I hope the Evil Empire knows that this is gonna be a BIG tourney...because 40 spots isn't a lot considering there are like 100 at the Blood Bowl(?) How many are there for the Chaos Cup and Dungeonbowl?? Either way, considering all the fodder, erm...coaches that are coming from "out of town" it'd be good to be able to properly represent, ya know?

Could someone offer a place to stay for a poor Montreal fellow looking to participate? I missed the Canadian Open and there's no way i'm missing the Spike! as well.

Heads up!
As I mentioned on TBB before I've got space here just BEGGING to be used by Bloodbowlers going to the big bash in Oakville...seeing as I'm only fifteen minutes from the location. And of course being THE Goblin Coach round here the place comes complete with English Pub in the basement with billard table and stocked fridges. (What people think I joke about something as serious as that? Sheesh! )
So you need the crash space give a holler, no matter HOW far away you're coming from. Though I might charge a fee of a few pints. (Goblin rates being what they are these days... )
And we are SO not letting the Elves get lucky a THIRD time!

Offer stands for everyone as well, even people who've completely gooned me in the past...and those who've learned just how "Firm but Fair" my referees are. Besides you said Toronto and I'm Burlington, which is right next door to that small town of Oakville. You can understand the confusion there.
And Deathbowl sounds like a wonderful idea, as this time I won't be on military duties to miss it! Provided you don't mind a goblin team fouling up the pitch...

Well, I was thinking of going down to T.O. for the Spike tourney, so would you mind an ogre from Alberta crashing at your gobbo hovel?? Sounds like it could be fun, but I might have to bring my CDs I brought to the BB in Nottingham. How far are you from the airport and how long does it take to get there from your place?? Is there any easy way (public transit) of traveling from the airport?? Anyway, thanks.
Hey, maybe some of you easterners should come out west to the NAF tourney being held in Calgary July 31 and Aug 1. Would be quite cool to get people outside of Alberta coming to this.

There should be room on the billards table somewhere.
Of course Toronto's airport is the only one that has lousy access to public transit! The easy solution to that is get one of the buses to drag you back to downtown Toronto, and hop a train at Union station. (Seeig as by heading my way you get closer to the tournament.)

Is there any idea of the cheapest (CHEAPEST!!!!!!!) place to stay nearby?
Any help for an Englishman looking to attend the furthest tourney he has ever been to.....???
Heads up!
As I mentioned on TBB before I've got space here just BEGGING to be used by Bloodbowlers going to the big bash in Oakville...seeing as I'm only fifteen minutes from the location. And of course being THE Goblin Coach round here the place comes complete with English Pub in the basement with billard table and stocked fridges. (What people think I joke about something as serious as that? Sheesh!
)
So you need the crash space give a holler, no matter HOW far away you're coming from. Though I might charge a fee of a few pints. (Goblin rates being what they are these days...
)
And we are SO not letting the Elves get lucky a THIRD time!
Well I'm not from over seas, but if you have room, I could use a spot. Any beer you like & I'll buy you a 24 of it! Sounds like a fair deal for a place to crash!

All right, i'll rephrase it. We did beat you at the Deathbowl!
However, i didn't score 3 TDs in one half. And the last TD, i had to do all by myself!
Anyway, i hope we'll get a rematch at the Spike and see who's really the best 1 on 1! You won't be playing wood elves but i probably won't be playing norse either, so it's all right.

Montreal is known far and wide for it's interesting night life. You can't walk more than 2 blocks down St.Catherines street without stumbling across another Adult entertainment joint. Not to mention all the pubs, bars, clubs, movie theatres, theme park, etc. Montreal is the best place in Canada to visit if you're looking for fun in the urban sprawl. Living here sucks because of all the politics but that's another story

Those ladies had better avoid going for the homefield advantage against a Goblin team then, as that sort of backfired in true Goblin fashion.

I still want another shot at those "green halflings" I never lost to em, but I never won either. It was at the 2003 Games Day tourney, & he had 2 Ogres. Now that he has to use Trolls, I think revenge will be mine! Unless I repeat like last time where of my 16 players something like 9 were in the KO'd box & another 3 were in the S.I. box, I had something like 4 Skaven left on the pitch, he was barely skathed! He took full advantage of my beated up team & scored to tie the game 1-1.
They are Goblins they are not supposed to beat you up! 
Mr. Sutton I hope I get my shot, be it GenCon, the Spike, or the Death Bowl! If I can't play you,then I hope you kick BUD's Woody ***!

When I realised that I would be visiting the area when the Spike Tournament was on I said to my fiancee "Pip pip old top, I will have to show these members of Her Majesty's Commonwealth how the game is really played".
Just having a laugh gentlemen. On a serious note, the tournament coincides with me visiting family in Toronto and this was just too good a chance to miss. To be able to play an international event like this will be fantastic and I look forward to meeting some of you guys across the pitch. Hashut Athletico are out for blood.

and
2) in the Canadian White Dwarf supplement you (or Lord Borak) gave our league's, the NFBBL, web site a shameless plug.

I think it's a little of both. I don't think (though i may be wrong) they have to pay for the location at all and that decreases the cost a lot. And the exchange rate really is in your favor. Right now is not a good time for a Canadian to visit the UK (if there ever was one).

The best way to get from Toronto to Oakville is via the GO Train (http://www.gotransit.com/publicroot/default.htm) which leaves from Union Station. The nearest station to GW is Clarkson although the Oakville station isn't that much farther, so either will work. From there it is a short taxi ride. I'm not too sure what weekend schedules are like, train service over here isn't that great. Unless you have a burning desire to be in Toronto I'd suggest staying in Oakville or the west part of Mississauga since it is much closer.
Just a word of warning, weekend transit services out here suck unless you are in downtown Toronto, be sure to check out schedules ahead of time!

That looks very close to the HQ, probably a 5 minute car ride.

Very cool, OMM! You always seem to be the first one who is prepared. Good to hear JKL is coming up too, another chance to have a tiebreaker game against him!
Come to think of it OMM, I'm surprised to say I've still never played you... One of these days!
Right in the kisser!

Yours or mine, Twist?
I've only made it across the border twice so it's not surprising really... hope we get a chance in a few weeks...

Hello all, i live near GW Oakville and could possibly arrange to help Transport people around staying fairly close to the tourney. Are there lots of people staying in Toronto? or closer to Oakville. Toronto is a bit too far for my liking.
Anyway let me know if some of you out of towners might be needing some transportation.
Ben

Hello Lord-of-the-Dance! How have you been?
Word is that you are working like a madman... too bad
Are you coming to the Spike? Hope to see you along with all the other TBBers...

Do we have to tell you in advance what size T-shirt we want? If so, right down an extra large for me. Should i call direct service to make sure they've got this right?

Better late than never I guess. Registered yesterday for the event. I'll be traveling in from Springfield, MO on the 17th and look forward to meeting everybody. I've got my room booked at the Fairfield in Oakville.

I don't remember you being THAT big, Zombie! It ain't a hockey jersey you know!
Very cool, Trog! Glad you can make it! Look forward to meeting you.

Someone else asked me to pick one up for him, since i didn't want one. So do i have to reserve one in advance to be sure to get an extra large?
Also, i'm still waiting for the answer to my question on apothecaries. Is it ok to play one race and have an apothecary of a completely different race? Apothecary models aren't made at all by Games Workshop, so it's pretty hard to have one, nevermind one of the proper race.

Could you not just use a wizard of that race as an Appoth?
Skaven=Grey Seer
Orc=Shaman
Human,Norse,Amazon=Wizard
Lizardman=Skink Shaman
I think most WHF races have Wizards,Shamans or some sorta Spell Caster. I think any of those would do.

What if i don't have a wizard of that race? I've never played any Games Workshop game other than Blood Bowl (so i don't have any Warhammer miniatures), and i've never played in a league that forced (or even encouraged) people to have miniatures to represent their coaching staff.

As far as I'm concerned, you can use any race for any of your coaching staff. There's nothing that says the coaching staff has to be the same race as the team. We are talking about a world where mutated Chaos Warriors are allowed to travel into the heart of the Empire. Why couldn't a human be working for a Skaven team?
