Weav Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 First let me say I find nothing more enjoyable than going to Spike. However, I am in a real pickle this year. First, my 15th wedding anniversary is that weekend, and my wife requested that weekend off in case we went somewhere. Also, my wargaming desire is at an all time low, and I'm not really feeling it. Couple this with the fact that many of you are senators and the OFCC is the following weekend....I guess what I'm asking is: are we going this year? With the right motivation I could probably acquire my desire back, and I could convince my wife to delay a weekend if necessary. Real talk; Dan, Mark, Travis, Shane, Eric, Dave, et al...what are we doing this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 At this moment I would say that I am missing this year simply due to the fact that I have zero money. Now, if a job comes up and I can get the time off then I will definitely be wanting to go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burk Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Tough one. I really want to go, but the OFCC the next week is a tough one. Not becuase of cash or wife, but because I if anything comes up for OFCC i need to be here to get it working.....not saying no, but more saying I cant commit now.

jollyork Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 So what you're really saying is nobody wants to take Travis back up there as champion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 This year, I can pick one event for September. It is OFCC.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyork Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 My hobby fire is only slightly warmer than Weav's, but I will go to Spike this year for two reasons: 1) If I don't keep the streak alive, the inertia to not go in the future will be crushing. 2) I won't leave Travis hanging to defend his title. In fact, if he wants to go this year, I'll spend the summer practicing against him at Game Night, then go to Spike to spoil his repeat chances. I totally understand everyone else being committed to the OFCC, because they should be. That should be the focus of all of Ordo to make it as awesome as possible. So if it's just me and Frosty, that's fine. But if he doesn't want to go back, I'll stay home, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostitute Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Your not alone Dan. I would of gone alone if no one was going. Just really disappointed. A real shame. A bunch of mediocre coaches showing their true colors. Some real big rocks out there or the backhoe made the hole big enough. Dan, I will pm you on what is the plan for Spike.

jollyork Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 In an incredible display of irony, I just discovered that Rose City ComicCon is Sep 20-21. My artist buddy and I had planned on reserving a table there to promote my comic. Nice timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaels Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm planning on going as well. Alone or with people. Either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostitute Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Now we can start seperating the boys from the men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well, I got a job. Sadly there is zero chance I will be able to take off any time during Sept. I will not even be at OFCC. I am very sad to miss Spike! as it has been one of my favorite events in past years. I hope you show those Canadians how the game is played again Frosty!
