Trying to pick interest back up, we got together for a game late November 2012 and from there decided to try for a monthly play session.
So it was on the night of 10 December 2012, we met up at Gamersaurus Rex Y.Y.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16339510429606021844noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085668312372620656.post-19888452198080256602012-06-12T11:29:00.001+08:002012-06-12T11:29:49.497+08:00Road to ACC 2012 - Where to Stay
Itabashi is fairly close and easily accessible to many popular places in Tokyo. Transport via the rail or subway systems is a breeze (just remember to write down the station names in advance in case you need to ask for help). This means that you can stay outside of Itabashi, enjoy all the sights Tokyo has to offer and still easily make your way to the ACC! How cool is that?

The latest State of the V:EKN is now available on V:KEN.net. Here's a quote from the Chairman himself, somewhere near the bottom of the article:
As I mentioned in the Cause & Effect interview, there's about a 20% chance of the game coming back into print. We've had dialog with various companies with respect to this.

So my first ever foray into the international V:tES tournament scene is officially over and I am back home again. It was wonderful to see 25 players turn up for a tournament and it was definitely an interesting experience to see and feel the Filipino meta game.
Unfortunately, I crashed spectacularly and left with a paltry 0.5VP.

From Paul, Prince of Manila City, Philippines:
The Last Chance Qualifier happened last September 10 at Marks place. We started at 10 in the morning and ended on a happy note sometime past 6pm. Lunch was served with a giant 36" pizza, yet i disgress from the actual report.
We had a total of 9 players, which was a shame really as a 10th player might have joined but was still new Y.Y.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03812459821631847077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4085668312372620656.post-75270265093691085802011-09-12T18:05:00.001+08:002011-09-12T18:07:08.845+08:00Congrats Gerentt!

Sorry for the long delay, but here's the report from the finals.
After the dust from the preliminary rounds settled, 5 Methuselahs lined up for the final table.
Derek didn't have much of a choice, going into the final table at 5th position.
Keith chose to be bled by Derek, after having seen Derek's deck, and feeling fairly confident of his ability to stop Derek's bleeds.
