Distraction Games of Stillwater, OK is hosting this fine event and if Distracticon was a prelude this should be a good event. Information can be found here: http://www.temple-of-lore.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13883 I'm also trying to get a special something something lined up for the players to make http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/10/upcoming-tournament-in-oklahoma.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/115567724080109501Tue, 15 Aug 2006 20:41:00 +00002006-08-15T22:27:20.833+01:00Wednesday was rather uneventful considering the 12 hour drive. We met up a Buffalo Wild Wings and discovered the Beer sampler. Lindeman's Framboise ON TAP. WOWZERS!!! Buffalo Wild Wings is now the official hang out of the Order of the Doomed Liver in Indy. Thursday, I have the world conquest events of CE Highlander, EE Singles and Open Doubles. I end up paired vs. Matthias Waeggemans in CEhttp://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/08/gencon-report.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/115505135821994707Tue, 08 Aug 2006 15:31:00 +00002006-08-08T16:35:58.240+01:00Since making the conquest team I've been busy deck building for the numerous events I'll be competing in during the conquest finals. These events are Open Singles, Open Doubles, Campaign Singles, Campaign Doubles, Campaign Highlander Singles, Epic Singles, Epic Sealed and Epic Draft. That's a lot of deck building to prepare for and had eaten up much of my time. Anyway that pretty much explainshttp://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/08/getting-ready-for-gencon.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/115220051003074524Thu, 06 Jul 2006 15:26:00 +00002006-07-06T16:41:50.043+01:00First off, I have to thank the participants of Midnight Madness VI. With your participation we raised $310.00 for charity. I'd also like to thank Raymond Greaves, Rich Bowers-Dean and another player (who's name I wrote down, but cannot read because my hand writing sucks) who all donated additional prize support. I'd like to thank Tracy Bovee for helping me run a great event. Origins went http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/07/my-origins-report.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/115142355462548438Tue, 27 Jun 2006 15:35:00 +00002006-06-27T16:52:34.643+01:00Origins is a kind of a small big con. Its has the small con feel as the atmoshpere is very, very laid back. But its got the big con size. Everything usually goes pretty smoothly at Origins and the pace is very laid back. I'm looking forward to the trip with one exception, the flight to Columbus because Chris Aven booked a early morning departure from OKC, the type of flight that only http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/06/getting-ready-for-origins.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/115092359546427687Wed, 21 Jun 2006 20:21:00 +00002006-06-21T21:59:55.476+01:00I'm going to begin this post with a little bit of history about myself and my introduction to the 5P Maxim. The 5P Maxim is something I was introduced to in little league baseball. The baseball league I played in held most all of its games at a centralized complex surrounded by a few baseball fields. Because of the schedule of the league almost every team could be found at the complex on any http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/06/tournament-advice-part-iv-5p-maxim.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114977851670768425Thu, 08 Jun 2006 14:21:00 +00002006-06-08T15:55:16.733+01:00Throughout the history of Warlord there has been quite the arguement about whether the top placing decks at major tournamnets should be made public knowledge. I'm of the opinion that these decks should be made public and have typically posted my tournament decks as part of a tournament report. There are arguements made by those who oppose the posting of the placing decks. However, those http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/06/on-topic-of-public-decklists.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114900357861678787Tue, 30 May 2006 14:47:00 +00002006-05-30T16:39:38.636+01:00This entry can be better titled: Delta Hates Warlord Players. We had scheduled our flights to allow us time to play in the Open Highlander event on Friday Night at KublaCon, however fate and Delta intervened. Our connecting flight to San Francisco is a daily route from Salt Lake City to Oklahoma City and back. The plane broke on the way from SLC, making it over 3 hours late arriving to OKC.http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/plans-of-crazy-men-part-ii.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114848145900174862Wed, 24 May 2006 14:30:00 +00002006-05-24T15:37:39.016+01:00Before continuing on with my advice on tournament preparation, I'm going to start my tournament report for both Warlord World Conquest Qualifiers at KublaCon in San Francisco, CA on May 27th and Florida Kotei in Orlando, FL on May 28th. You read correctly, I'm going to be on the west coast on Saturday to play in a qualifier and then myself and Chris Aven will hop a red eye flight to Orlando http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/plans-of-crazy-men-part-i.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114804730705685819Fri, 19 May 2006 13:50:00 +00002006-05-19T15:08:29.133+01:00At any major convention, theft isn't an unfortunate occurance, its a reality. You need to prepare for it, or rather how to avoid it happening to you. The first thing you need to do is to keep all of your stuff confined to one backpack. Keeping up with 2 backpacks is unweildy at best. This also serves the purpose of keeping all of your stuff together. Most of the theft that occurs happens when thehttp://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/tournament-advice-part-iii-avoiding.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114796343415055083Thu, 18 May 2006 14:25:00 +00002006-05-18T15:43:54.160+01:00This entry is targetet specifically at the members of the community who will be attending their first convention or major tournament, and are looking for some advice as to what they should bring. First up, bring a backpack or something along those lines to carry your stuff. This is especially important at conventions where you might want to do a little shopping and need a place to stow your http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/tournament-advice-part-ii-what-to.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114791311540966585Wed, 17 May 2006 23:41:00 +00002006-05-18T01:45:15.416+01:00What do I mean by getting through it? If you judge enough tournaments and watch the games closely, you'll notice that towards the later rounds of swiss play mistakes will become more and more common. Its important for you the player to make sure that you're taking care of yourself. Most importantly this means that you should get your normal amount of sleep, stay hydrated and keep your energy http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/tournament-advice-part-1-getting.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114782609423106736Wed, 17 May 2006 00:30:00 +00002006-05-17T01:34:54.240+01:00As you know by now, my name is Jeremiah Uselton. I’ve been playing Warlord since the release of the first demo decks. I am a playtester, a tournament organizer and well traveled player. My column is going focus on several things. First, I’m going to have a series of blog entries on the steps you can go through that will better prepare you for tournaments. I'll also discuss things you can http://taktix.org/jeremiah-uselton/2006/05/about-me-and-my-blog.htmlJeremiah Useltonhttp://www.blogger.com/feeds/28233305/posts/summary/114781673867337552Tue, 16 May 2006 21:57:00 +00002006-05-16T22:58:58.680+01:00Jeremiah Uselton (Malexin) has been playing CCGs for a long time.
