Since my schedule will suck for playing matches with other people I will volunteer to verify matches/lists while raiding and make my best effort to protect the privacy of everyone involved.

Alternatively we can agree to have everyone post in here so nobody gets any ~secret advantages~ so we can pretend we're the world magic cup and everyone has access to everyone else's decklists.

Extra access aforehand if you're french though.

So basically, we'll work around your schedule if you want to play and shift things around just to get matches off. We already have A LOT of people playing so it's going to be pretty informal. My main goal here is to get some quality play, varied decklists, and some funny commentary together and make a cool legacy series.

So how would this work exactly? We sign up and someone lets us know who we're paired against and we just try to work out our schedules to play that person in a decent amount of time? I ran a couple goon leagues for different street fighter games a few years ago and that's what we basically did, and put a time limit on how long someone had to play before they got DQ'd. I have a weird inconvenient schedule but I'll sign up for the time being:

4x Deathrite Shaman
4x Knight of the Reliquary
4x Mother of Runes
3x Stoneforge Mystic
3x Thalia, Guardian of Thraben

They're actually really really low, native Java apps aren't very taxing on a computer, and the whole thing being open-sourced is encouraging a lot of people to build it up and keep performance low, since they know one of MTGO's biggest barriers is having such high requirements.

Actually, now that you mention it...

:siren: Not every card has been fully implemented on XMage :siren: The full list is here http://ct-magefree.rhcloud.com/stats, you should probably check it to make sure that your decklist will actually work the way you think it will.

I think the best way to run this would be to have one round per week. After pairings go up, the two payers coordinate a time between themselves. This is probably the best way to work around everyone's schedules.
We could use IRC and google docs to communicate. Once a time slot is chosen for a specific match it gets posted on the Google doc and then anyone interested in streaming or commentating on it can do so.

A very small number, kind of by definition the most played cards are going to be implemented first. It's more an issue if you're running some insane brew with something like Magus of the Moat.

Jul 13, 2006
yeah that is how i'm thinkin about it, i'll get week one pairings after i close registration and then people can coordinate however (pm, irc, etc) and play/record their games

http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ that seems like a decent way to get recordings to youtube or to useful files that we can ship to whoever wants to do the commentary

speaking of which who else besides BAFH is in on commentary

e: i'm going to hold off on week 1's pairings until everyone posts their list for the sake of equal access to info or whatnot and we can base the start of week around that

I could see trying to do some commentary if needed.

Can we make sure to do full brackets for those with negative records so we all at least get paired up for the full event? It'd be less fun to only get a few matches before being dropped from the whole deal.
