"HAVING AN EFFECT ON PLAYERS WORLDWIDE"

Decipher-Con YJ Day 1 & The Day Before
2000-14-10:

Highs and Lows for day 1:

• H : Michonne (Aurra Sing), for having fun with signing my cards.
• L : Not getting enough sleep. Nor photo coping my deck list.
• H : Playing some great fun games.
• L : The service at the Hotel Food outlets SUCK!
• H : For Getting to know the Tonika Sisters. ( Jen & Jen)
• H : Learning what I need to refine my decks for day 2.
• H : Finding out that Katie B. is Mark Pontings Wife..Cool! You both are awesome.

The begining to this great week was not what I expected, this being my first Con and all. The flight over was my first, so you can imagine the excitement of just the plain ride. Since it was so late I was very tired, and so was my Co-Pilot Tim Guzman. I should of never taken a nap. For on the first day of gaming due to the 3 hour difference I was beat. It did give me time to refine my decks, so I thought. For YJ day 1 the top 38 players had to make it into day 2. That was going to be easy to accomplish since there were only 41 players that showed up. However I would play my best anyway, if not just because I knew the next day I would be playing Day 2 Qualifiers which I knew had to have strong decks. So what better way to test my decks out and refine them later. So here goes....

My first match up was against a great sport, and it was very cool that he even showed up with the rest of his family. The draw back was the Quick kill. (David Rouleau 1418 Yavin 4) The poor kid had 7 transports and no starfighters to counter mine. That had to be the quickest 8 minute game I played. Anakin Raced over his deck with no obstacles.

FW aginst his Sith Deck by 2(+41)
Highs : Getting the game over quickly.
Lows : Playing a little kid.

Game 2. In YJ if you have no weapons, their is no game. Enough said. (John Berke 1690 Dagobah) Tanks killed my Jedi deck. After the loss, I figured I would play him for fun to see if it was my deck or how I played. I got my Jar-Jar's weapons, Jedi force pushes, and I get the win by 35 cards. Oh well, you win some and you loose some.

FL aginst his Sith Deck by 0(-36)
Highs : None.
Lows : Not getting my Jar-Jars or Weapons.

Game 3. (Kelly Kunze 1618 Bespin) Tight game. I have my force pushing going on and I kill his Tanks. I learn to keep a great card to put more of into my decks. At the end of the game the kid was crying and I gave him a German card that one of the Germans gave me hoping It would cheer him up. It does to a certain extent.

FW aginst his Sith Deck by 2(+5)
Highs : Learning & Beating a tank deck.
Lows : Watch the kid cry & having too many dupes in my deck .

Game 4. (Derek Brooks 1600 Yavin 4 ) Another tight game. Sith Maul, gets totally stuck on planet, But Senators win the game for me.

FW aginst his Jedi Deck by 2(+2)
Highs : Winning with Senators instead of relying on my Mauls.
Lows : Not getting my transports.

Game 5. (Maura Chace 1556 Yavin 4 ) Don't Remember the game

FW aginst her Jedi Deck by 2(+15)
Highs : Kicking Yavin Butt again!
Lows : None

Game Six. Exciting game. It was a pleasure to meet Marks wife. She always kids me about my matt I used to play my cards on. I guess thats the trade mark for Tatooine Las Vegas Players. (Katie Billings 1674 Tatooine) Will she get her revenge on day two?

FW aginst her Sith Deck by 2(+26)
Highs : Being good sports and getting a rep with my mat.
Lows : Beating a fellow Tatooine Player.

Game Seven. (Patrick Sullivan 1826 Yavin 4 ) Finally a high ranking player. A good player at that. His plays were a challange up to the point where he made a mistake, which I totaly felt bad after I made him take his deployed counters back into hand for an Anakin he already had deployed. I believe I still would of won the game, but only by 1 card if I let him transport and go ahead and deploy the Anakin again. He insits though that it was a lesson for him to pay more attention. Sorry Patrick, If I seemed an ass that game. The world is not enough.

FW aginst his Jedi Deck by 2(+6)
Highs : Playing and meeting a fellow Councilor. Beating another Yavin Player.
Lows : Making him take his card back in hand.

Game Eight (Larry Plano 1751 Kashyyyk) Wow, I get to play against a Wookiee. Not really. The game was fun. Jedi's kicked butt, and lack of transports on his part hurt him big time, especially when he had them all in his first hand. Quick counting of his cards lead me to win this game.

FW aginst his Sith Deck by 2(+30)
Highs : Having alot of fun this game.
Lows : Not playing against a real Wookiee
