Apparently my phone ate this post before to build the tension?

The only(* first one I noticed, don’t fact check me) candidate who qualified via my secret criteria of actually preregistering for the Best of Both Worlds tournament is Kaiser. The belt will be on the line based on total differential across both games (ie, victory points don’t count). I want this thing to change hands based on some goofy 1E 2-point tiebreaker.

I realized I'm still sitting on a ton of ratings points back from when I actually played 2E, and since the 2E part of the BoBW thing seems to be sanctioned, this is as good a time as any to finally get rid of them. So let me break out the special occasion gimmick:

Hit me hard and get your ratings points while you can :shifty: :cheersL:

After hearing this, Gorilla, my money is on The Kaiser to win the gold.

Everyone knows the Team Jersey clowns can't handle balls out SPEED. Ask Caleb "The Jobber Champ" Grace. Ask Matt "The Original Champion" Frid. Ask Mike "The Natural" Harrington.

Kaiser my man, let me lay it out for you:

Step 1: Play my South Dakota Masters winning Cadet deck
Step 2: Blow everyone's doors off with balls out SPEED
Step 3: Profit! Money does come to money, after all. :wink:

The above was a prophetic digital rendering of said happening, but yes-- it happened. Not even sure if I witnessed the event but at least I heard the bottle being shaken (not stirred (om my, do I love my references)) and saw the spray paint dry.
I was told the WWF(?) story behind this, and I love references -- so that why I can appreciate this vandalism. 8)

Not making any comments on anything.

Oh -- seeing the live Imperial Piñata in action was a hoot, too. Sadly, I was too shy to hit him (and he was playing; and of course, in JazzLand, that transpired in utmost silence and with deep concentration at all times).
(But Martok's WonderBoom was put to good use.)
