Read At Your Peril 
blippy, I’ve been gone from the game for about a year, but I just want to say you are awesome. I’ve read your posts on the wizards forums and I know you care about the community. Thanks.
Blippy why is this not on a Saturday? The only day (midnight) I could play. I really wanna join. Good luck to all players
Because my birthday is the 26th.
sounds really fun … pitty i ll be at work at those hours ^_^
Enjoy everyone who participate!!
i will copy-paste what i post in puremtgo 🙂
Hi blipply, first HAPPY Birthday!!!
on the tournament subject, it is possible to give a price structure more concentrated? i mean for each person less sponsor but more tix of that sponsor?
with bot is not that much of a problem, but on the physical store product could be really an issue for people like me live far far away (Chile for me), shipping cost dilute a lot the price.
specially in the case of Face to Face Games and Cape Fear Games could they be only for the top 4 people (even better is only for top2 or top3)?
something like:
winner 40 Face to Face
2nd: 35 Face to Face
3: 25 Face to Face
4: 25 Cape Fear Games
anyway, lets have a great time in a couple of hours 🙂
what a great time last night, and thanks for the door prize. still trying to figure out which bot its on.
hi, sorry to bother you but how do i claim my prize ,im 12?
Prizes will be automatically added by sponsors once they get results.

hi ,sorry to bother but in mtgo my accounts name starts from the lowercase letter , might that be the problem that CardBot and Card Hoarder didn’t added credits ?
I *JUST NOW* sent in results, figuring no one was in yesterday. 🙂 They should be showing up soon, and capitalization shouldn’t matter.
thanks
