GenCon pics

Post by Colin »

Here are some of my pics from GenCon (mostly from the tourney)

Image
First night in Indy before the Con openned. Seated around the table L to R; Darthnoir, OMM, Justin Kane(?)on NAF (but VAL to everyone else), Jaylazer, JJ, and the couple who's names escape me right now

Image
Hey Gandalf! Is that you?? And who's the freak beside you?? Looks like some Matrix refugee not someone from Middle Earth.

Image
Outside the dealers room just before openning.

Image
Gotta love chainmail babes!

Image
JJ at the Seminar on Thursday

Image
The Board Games room where the BB tourney was held (this was in the morning before the toureny started)

Image
The permanent trophy with the names of the winners on it (not given away)

Image
Xtreme and his wife

Image
Image
A cool looking custom pitch with a close-up of the dug-out.

Image
Image
My first opponant with his orc team. Lost to him, but he was a very sporting player and it was a good game.

Image
Image
Some of the other early round action

Image
Image
My second opponant and his woodies. Lost again, I was playing CDs so should be a surprise.

Image
Image
My last game of the day was against Val and his wonderfully converted Khemri team (he stayed up all night to finish painting it). I was beaten up by his mummies but it was probably the best game (most enjoyable) of the toureny. Gave Val the top marks for sportsmanship, he was a great opponant (and he never fouled in any of his matches) :wink:

Dinner after the tourney;
Image
The Geek table; (can't remember the first guy who's head's half showing....think it's ...Mike?) Darthnoir, Gken, Val, Karl Lagerbottom, Jaylazer
Image
The Cool Table (wher I was sittling of course); OMM, Lawquoter, Xtreme's brother, Mrs X and Xtreme, CyberHare, JJ.

Image
Friday morning, the second day of the tourney. Val and LQ still recovering from the night before
Image
Darthnoir and Gken decide to show them both what "Nuffle Love" is all about. :wink:

Image
Image
The first game of day two had people dropping out and having me play CyberHare (the odd man out, filled in for this game) with his amazons
Game was called due to time (our game started late) and I had a BC near the goal with the ball (may have scored the winning TD, we will never know), but ended in a tie.

Image
Image
Last game was against the kid who called IP on Snots last year playing the same norse team. I told him we weren't going to use IP this game, he agreed, but fouled every turn and ignored the ball. He tried to foul me twice on the final turn, well didn't really expect more from a 9yr old (didn't let him get away with it though), and yes, I won 5-0 and gave as good as I got with 5 CAS for and 6 against.

Image
Val gets the most CAS award
Image
As mentioned Xtreme takes best painted (2nd year in a row)
Image
Jaylazer takes most TD scored prize
Image
Psuedo-Green (psycodelic?) Lantern takes Least TDs allowed (I think)
Image
The kid takes the Wooden spoon

In his defense ... that could be jetlag. As that was the night out immediately after his plane had arrived in the US at 7 pm.

The one thing that gets me is the guy at the Geek table who you don't know his name.

That is Jonathan Dunnavant. Now he is not an NAF member (we only had 7 of the 53 coaches not be NAF). Its a big surprise to me to see him out of dinner with you guys and not be an NAF member. Its not a requirement at all and I'm not trying to imply that it is ... just a surprise that's all.

[EDIT .... just found out from jaylazer that Jonathan is joining the NAF this week.]
