I just wanted to see wha peoples thoughts are over the next couple weeks. Here are the options I see available so far..

1. Complete south, if and only if we can continue to get reporting done regularly....
2. J&J pack n ship, nothing bad r negative to say about this place at all. I would love to play here regularly the guy and atmosphere were amazing.
3. Castle Games, I really enjoyed the couple times I played there, but Im not so sure the space would work out for us.
4. Petries, Im sorry but this place is way small and I dont know how they think tey can fit 50+ in there! Bruce informed me on where this place is an they play d&d there regularly. Ive been there once and they are TINY.
5. Gamers Haven, Havent been there since the mana slingers showdown, but the guy was really nice and the space was awesome. Anyone been by to see if he would be willing to run the magic events with the tournout they were having at waystone or if they are willing to have prize supported fnms?


What are everyone elses thoughts on this? I would love to find a new place as a community and continue to have the 50+ turn out for fnms with some great pize support!

I have thrown my list into one of these threads.

I will be checking out J&J this week, maybe won't play unless Piley can get a deck built for me that quickly, but want to head down and talk to the guy about reporting and sancitoning and all that jazz. I already know I like the atmosphere.

Over the next few weeks I will be visiting different stores that you listed, and in the end, if none of them fit, I will take my talents to EG on Fridays. The competition seems to be worth the drive, and I work up north anyway, so the drive is only about 45 minutes. I get off at 3:30 which means I should beat the traffic as well.

I'm down for going to EG fridays also. I don't work and we can trade off driving or something. And we can eat BD's HAHAHAHAHA
As a Ninja, the smallest container I can fit into would be maybe a tic tac container.

Not that I'm pushing for one locale or another (although I'm interested in what people decide since I want to play where the competition is) but I think EG is a bad idea in general. It's a great place and I've enjoyed playing there before but if even a handful of us decide to travel to EG then it dramatically weakens the springs.

I haven't been around as much the last few months due to school and the holidays but I've cut my classes down to one per semester and the holidays are over so I'm looking to play more. But if the local scene is going to look like waystone's final FNM the other night (everyone was in KC) then it's almost pointless.

On a side note, I thought I saw someone mention GP Dallas on one of these posts. I was already considering it if you want to pool efforts.

I understand your stance Russ, but where I choose to play has to do with me, not a collective group any longer.

If I want to get better at this game, I will need to go where I can get better...this is a part of my decision as well.

No disrespect, but I think I will be moving on from Compleat.

I understand and can respect your decision so all I can do is ask you to reconsider. After all my reasons are rather selfish...

I would really like to make some significant improvement this year which will be difficult with lesser competition in the community. What with family, work, and school I doubt that traveling an hour each way to play once a week is possible.

Well, playing only once a week doesn't accomplish what you stated as your own goals. You really need to play between about 10-15 hours per week to accomplish that.

With few exceptions, Compleat has done nothing more than provide us with a place to play. Finding a place that wants more than just our business and garners a friendlier atmosphere would be ideal, and more than feasible.

Chris, I understand that. In another post I said that I was looking to test one weeknight a week. Weekends are play it by ear.

You're a liar, Lipsky. The FNM scene at compleat will be revived and they will also soon be sanctioned. Ty doesn't want to work with you, so don't get mad and come on here calling for it to end. I was there with Ashby last night and he was talking to us about what he expects to happen. He will be getting magic back there and expects sanctioning to be happening soon since it's already in the works. He is also getting offers from other people to run it. He doesn't expect everyone to come back and he is also aware that it is going to take some time, but he is expecting to draw a more casual type crowd for FNM's like it was when there was a north store. So just because you wont be associated with it anymore doesn't mean it's done and there wont be anymore magic there, saying so is frankly irresponsible and a disservice to this magic community. Eric and his son went to Petries last night hoping to draft, but they were doing constructed. Once Compleat gets it's sanctioning they can hold drafts again for people like them. So at this point I think you should stop spreading intentionally false statements which might get around and hurt their chances of coming back.

Ty is the one that allowed me to start plying again. If he is willing to get things rolling and have sactioned events then I will more than likely support him 2-3 times a month. But I like being able to change it up too, I dont remember a time whenwe had this any venues to choose from at all. Its kinda nice actually.
