Patience...sometimes it fails me. It was a long wait for the bus. Like I said no blood, no foul. |

Sadly, my NAF dice failed me for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th time ever.
Ironically, Old Man Monkey borrowed my white ones and beat me with them! (Although they weren't incredibly kind to him, they got the job done vs. me) |

I tried the 2 black/1 white at the Spiky, and did well, so looks like I'm sticking with that. |

Well, returned safely to the land of FLAW - great time with Brian St. James, Andy, and the great coaches.
a. Toronto's own Rob and Ben each handed me 2-0 beatings - I'll have to prepare better for Underworld since the TBBF will be well represented in Ann Arbor;
b. Melifaxis' dice worked better against him and Andy H. - just couldn't move into the final round - seems to be my curse;
c. Brian and those who helped (Rene, Brian, Billy and Mrs. St. James) ran a wonderful tourney and the final Deathbowl rounds were a howl - utter chaos and ever-shifting politics in all games.
Thanks, Brian, for everything - look forward to doing it again in Montreal - glad to be part of the first one!

I used (notice that I had them, thanks mister Krox!) 2 black and 1 white. Seems the presense of 1 white dice forced the 2 black ones to behave. |

Jim AKA Old man Monkey, where did you get a nickname like that? very funny. So your going to be at the underworld, that's awesome. I'm hoping to have my skaven painted by then. I'm doing the Secret of NIMH theme. it's going to be kewl. I have the figure for my coach which is of course Nicodemus. I'm going to give the model a nice long beard and glowing eyes and all. Maybe with skaven you'll give me at least a little bit of a sweat. Skaven are pretty squishy. So you have the pics downloaded yet, I wouldn't mind seeing them, Brian is taking forever. Just kidding Brian. Anyway enough rambling on, hope to see you all at the underworld. Oh one more thing, what colous should i give my skaven team? I was thinking Black, Orange, and Dark Blue. But i'm not sure. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
Peace out,
Ben |

Ah, don't bother Ben, we all know you getting to the final 4 was pure luck!
And Mel, be careful dude, not all Canadians are nice people, despite what you hear! Remember, the more Chaos Dwarf coaches, the more pylons I get to run by! You've gotta be around for other tourneys!
OMM, hope I see you on the pitch at Underworld!
I don't feel so bad, being 2-2 before the DB game. I lost to Zombie's Norse 2-1, and Bud's Wood Elves 4-3, both ended up in the top game. Hope to Nuffle that the NAF rankings are kind to me.

It was a great tournament, thanks a lot Brian!
My first tourney ever, and you got me hooked. I'll definitely be back next year, and i'll see if i can make it to the Spike next year as well (need money for that, don't we all...)
Well organized, nice bunch of coaches and great prizes.
But i attribute my victory mostly to luck. And those Toronto coaches (3 of whom played against me in the final) will be waiting for me with guns ablazing at Spike, so i better be ready! |

There's a dozen or so guys who I've been gaming with for about 15 years or so now - my house has always been the 'clubhouse' (as Phil Bowen calls it) and when one of these guys started passing out email nicknames, we were all '-monkeys'.
So, being the oldest, I got "Old Man Monkey" and it's just stuck.
Yes, I'm planning to be at Underworld to see John, Tom and others I've met this summer. Deathbowl made my seventh tournament outside Florida in addition to our own league championship so it's been busy and great fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone and some more battles on the pitch. Need to brush up my closing play - lately it seems I'm playing to get into the championship match and failing to get through. Perhaps Ann Arbor will be the spot . . . No matter what, can't wait to see everyone again and have another great time, just like the Deathbowl!
Take care all! (Rob - glad you made it back in one piece!)
