WCQ and Condition Blue, too
13 years ago
Little late in posting this since the event occurred on the July 1st weekend but oh well Im writing it out now.
This year the World Championship Qualifier (WCQ) took place in Columbus, Ohio. Little further than Pittsberg to drive to and there wasnt as much Pomp and Circumstance at the building it was hosted in but ah well; a WCQ is a WCQ.
This year started an hour late but at 11am instead of the 10am that had been advertised but when 11 rolled around the tournament was opened by Greg Abbey (voice of tristen and yusei), Wayne Grayson (voice of Joey Wheeler), and Eric Srewart (voice of Seto Kaiba) which was pretty sweet.
The tournament ended at around 11pm this year as opposed to 1:30am which was a significant improvement. It consisted of 9 rounds and of the 1613 people there I placed 362. Not as good as. Last year but still not bad. Once again I had my faithful Samurai with me and played against 3 wind ups, a rather beastly and creative fairy rush deck, chaos dragons, dragunity, dino rabbit, and another samurai player. Day two I got to use the custom token maker and get some autographs from the voice actors =3
All and all it was a great time. Met some nice people and though I didn‘t do as well as I did last year Im still happy with the end result ^^
That brings us onto Condition Blue!
This was the 3rd year running for the local london furry con and once again I was quite happy with the results. I had once again returned to help out as staff. This year staff felt a little unorganized but that was mostly because every on paper position had been claimed before my arrival so my convention was spent helping where I could.
On top of that I actually attended some panels, one of which was none other than a small yugioh tournament. It consisted of 6 players and I went undefeated. My opponents all hadskill with their respective decks but I had a few hands in which everything I needed came to me as I needed it. Everyone was a great sport and fun to play.
Other event attended was the convention nerf tourna@ent event. I chose a nerf sword and beanbag and went in with as much gusto as possible. I even managed to parry a shot and when I did my opponent and I stopped playing a moment to marvel and enthusiastically comment on when happened before he took adv antage of my prolonged stoupor and shot me again. Ah well it was still pretty awesome but my team lost that match.
After that con went pretty well. Got some commissions and Ill post those as they get completed abd then I also took part in closing ceremonies which wrapped up with a bang. Very much looking forward to next year, especially because I get to work with the people who run it =3.
And thats about it for now. Stay healty and happy everyone!

The one that knocked out the power to the hotel? I still remember it but oddly enough it was fleeting where I was. I was in the convention center buying some cards when it came down. It was over by the time I left and oddly enough the center was fine but right across the street the hotel lost all power til the next day.
