I belive it was "Here lies Zippy Hands"

Zippy Hands was a quite annoying Gobbo that has escaped many deaths at my hands for over a year, I am glad the little bugger is dead!

Also, I STILL haven't had time to process my pics on my camera and throw them on the net. I'll be sure to link them up as soon as I do, and post a link here.

This week has been REAL crazy for me. Just started a new job and am keeping the old one at reduced hours. However, the hours from the old job aren't going to be reduced until NEXT week, meaning I'm putting in 13 hour days (8am-9pm) every day.

anyway, hopefully i'll get them on tomorrow evening.

OH, and don't stress over the botched scoring thing. Happens. You had a lot on your plate.

Greetings to all participants of the GENCON BB-tounament!

I am back home again and very happy about the 1st place

Thanks Galak and Chet for the review of the resultsheets!

So dont worry about that mistake. first i was also verry happy about the 3rd place, the throphy and the prices. It was a great event and i had a lot of fun and cool games. The trophy fits perfect into my luggage for the next two weeks, i guess it would be more difficult with the 1st place trophy.

I also agree that nobody should win a tournament with a 3-0-1 record, so i was very lucky with this system. maybe the system from games workshop is not so bad. the two best players, depending only on the gameresults, play in the final for the 1st and 2nd place. after the last round ther will be an additional overall winner, depending on gameresults, painting and sportmanship. this could be one of the two finalists or anyone else.

I hope i can come next year to the GENCON again and also hope that there will be a BB-tournament.

Oakinava/Wolfgang ... I have your replacement 1st place trophy (not as cool as the original, but it will look good on the mantle) ... just arrived yesterday. I should have the b-b.net figures in by the end of September which I promised you one of as part of your prize for the error in the math.

Once I have the mini I'll PM for an address to mail both when I have them both.

And Mrin and anyone else trying to make early plans ...

At the risk of being called a "blatant cross poster"...

I have made available my pictures from GenCon 2003

Too many people for me to properly hide.

Pic 78 is the Indy memorial ... its dead center of the city .. All the streets up to 286th street going North (which is a 1 hour drive at a good clip) count down this statue.

Pic 76 is a good one. That's what I look like on a normal day (okay expect the skin tight lycra referee shirt).

I got that shirt from GW-Australia and I didn't realize that it was basically made of spandex ... I'm definetly going to try to lose a few pounds before I put that this on again ..

Oh I don't know, put on the black cap, whistle and cuban cigar and we'd have a living dwarf ref figure...

...all I need is a "firm but fair" halfling referee...
