RK Post is here and another artist.
Need anything there ?
FTV : Dragons box sold here : 80 and 89 € outrageous.

Back from GP.
Bought a bunch of APs from RK post and Justin Sweet.
Justin has his APs loose in a backpack with no protection whatsoever. So many APS get damaged.
He uses APs to take notes or as cards to put his email on... This was funny. He is a nice guy.
RK is a nice guy too. I will think about him when I play flamejab now...
Italians are not the best players to play with. It was the first time I could see someone disqualified because he cheated.
And one of the players I was playing with, was talking to another guy to ask for advice. The judge did not do anything... He was the Head Judge and was Italian of course.

Unbelievable that you made such experiences.
I couldn't agree less.
I was at Ovinogeddon3 in Milano and every player was nicer than the one before. With nearly every opponent i exchanged email addresses...cute.

Those who understand binary

I was judging at the GP (and getting some signed, altered and AP too of course :) ).
It is quite normal to have people disqualified at big tournaments as GP. Actually this is the one with the lowest number of DQs I have ever attended.
I'd appreciate if you may share a little more on the "advice" episode, even in pm.

I asked a Belgian Judge about the "advice" problem.
He told me that the player should have lost the game against me. Nothing was done, he did not even get a warning.
This is what happened :
The guy arrived 9min50 late at the match. He had one game loss.
He won the first match (I suspect that his pool had been changed from the beginning till this match, as he could not play the cards... He did not know what they were doing, he just played them for the mana cost, I should have asked for a deck check, but I'm a new player, I don't have so much experience...).
A friend came by and started looking. Then he started to talk to him.
I told the guy "you are not supposed to talk to him". He stopped for a few seconds and talked again. I told him I would call the judge if he was going on. He kept on talking to him.
I called a judge. The Head Judge came then, and the guy said he did not understand english. So he could not understand what I was telling him.
But he knows the rules, and plays in a GP Tournament and perfectly understood what I was saying.
The Head Judge did not do anything. Another player said he had arrived late too at a previous match earlier on. He did not get any warning.
He did not show up at the last round...
This is totally disrespectful, and rules should have applied there.

Nationals at Tours was horrendous. But I was not surprised it was the French, and being one, I know what I am talking about. I know why I left France for good.GraueEminenz wrote:Unbelievable that you made such experiences.

GP Madrid was great. Lots of foreign people spending holidays in Madrid or Spain. Sunny weather...
Let's see Paris at DLP...
Of course that the best weather and people are for sure in Portugal ...magic-belgium wrote:Nationals at Tours was horrendous.
