Well since there was a big post about this Chicago meet up I figured it would be nice to post that there will be a few f.ds ers meeting up in Montreal. My plan is to meet on the 23rd of July (although this hasn't been confirmed by anyone else yet) for an evening at Randolphs pub, which Markusin scoped out and it has a huge selection of board games to play. The people meeting will be KingZog3 (that's me), AndrewisFTTW+female companion (who are visiting Montreal), Markusin (who I found out lives in Montreal and so he joined this fun time), and Breezy D (who hasn't posted tons here I think, but I see him a lot on goko).
I think we will try to take a picture or two, maybe even attempt a video of the calibre of AdamH's, although maybe with fewer heads cut off. It's not a big show like it seems this Chicago thing was, but I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Or maybe it'll be weird, but I doubt it. Of course if anyone wants to come they are welcome, but this whole Chicago thing happened, Montreal is farther for most people and it's short notice. But hey, it would be cool anyway if other people showed up(fingers crossed)!

It wouldn't be cool if they showed up without their fingers crossed.

I accept toes crossed if crossing fingers isn't your thing.

Ah, this is too bad, I'll miss it by about 2 months

Well some of us live here, so give us a shout when you're here! :)

Hm it's only an 11 hour train ride~!

That sounds like consideration! Breezy D probably won't be able to make it as its a weekday night. We are tied the FTTWs schedule, since he's leaving like the day after.

Yeah probably not doable on a weeknight.. weekend maybe.. I have always wanted to visit Montreal.

Maybe we could plan something for the fall.
If folks have a bit more time, more of them might be able to make it.

Yeah for sure! The only reaso this started was because FTTW was going to be around . Come to think of it, I kind of just invited Markusin without Asking FTTW. Hope that was ok.

This meet up was a great success! Probably waaay more cool than the Chicago meet up.
It was me, Markusin and AndrewisFTTW and his girlfriend. We went to a board game bar, where you can get drinks and play games (drinks were stupidly expensive). We played Dominion, but only 2 games because FTTW thought it would be a good idea to win twice in a row (no idea why he thought that was a good idea). Also IRL makes me shuffle my own deck, and we agreed that that kind of sucks. Also, 3 players. Then we played Power Grid, which was really fun. And finally Smallworld, which I suggested and well, it kind of sucked. Oh, and the games were all in french, which was hilarious for Dominion. FTTW has a picture of us, which I assume will be posted at some point. I think we should just let you all guess who each of us is.
I won Smallworld, which is kind of meaningless because it was disorganised, missing a race and in french and no one knew what the hell was going on. Not my fault, the place stored the box vertically so everything just fell out and was all over the place.

Wait, FTTW has a girlfriend?

Was KingZong there too?

He met her at Waffle House

Did he get her All the Way, scattered, smothered, covered, diced, peppered, capped, topped, and country?

It was actually a Huddle House, and we happened to be huddling in the same corner. I moved into her place shortly thereafter.
Thanks for setting this up guys it was a lot of fun! I have no idea how I WON BOTH GAMES but the fact remains that I DID WIN BOTH GAMES. Did I mention that I WON BOTH GAMES? Photo coming in a day or two, we're still on the road.

I think for some people here it may be. Less surprising than the fact that you aren't red and fluffy. That's wrong
-
Man, now I have to visualize FTTW and markusin when I play dominion/hearthstone with them. That's going to take so much more brain power than just imagining they look exactly like me.

That's just the opinion of a guy who looks like Marauder.

You'd be surprised, but I haven't burned down and pillaged a town in years.

What about pillaging a village?

Or ruining a market, spoiling everyone's day?

I think I forgot to tell everyone that I BEAT KINGZOG AND MARKUSIN TWICE! AT THE SAME TIME!
-

Ok, but to be fair, I still beat you 53% of the time on goko. Don't get ahead of yourself.
-
I think I forgot to tell everyone that I BEAT KINGZOG AND MARKUSIN TWICE! AT THE SAME TIME!
Were you playing some sort of weird variant with three players?
-
I think I forgot to tell everyone that I BEAT KINGZOG AND MARKUSIN TWICE! AT THE SAME TIME!
I was secretly glad that at least one of us beat Squire/Gardens, even though that only happened because we were too distracted to follow groupthink and pursue the "clearly superior strategy". Guess it wasn't clear enough.
Welp, it's no secret anymore.
It was cool because I never played KingZog or FTTW on Goko (I played Hearthstone with Zog once).
All in all, it was a great night, and I legitimately enjoyed Small world despite the confusion at times. And I finally know how to play power grid. It's like some unholy union of Settlers of Catan and Monopoly.

Andrew, don't forget to curse the rest of the forum by posting the pictures we took. Their image of us must be corrupted forever!

The moment you've all been waiting for... ya weirdos. Here it is:
(http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l175/AndrewisFTTW/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_4113_zps1dhu6mio.jpg)
I'll let you guess who's who. You got Blinky on the left, the ridiculously tall dude with the million dollar smile in the middle, and the ridiculously short future business owner on the right. Place your bets!

Zog - FTTW - Markusin
Also I am totally jealous of the existence of these board game cafes (was also one in Chicago). Why can't we ever have nice things

yeah, i think this is right. I double checked FTTW's shadow from this picture (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=10497.msg354896#msg354896), and it seems to fit. As far as the other two go, I trust jsh

I concur. Markusin posted his picture in the pictures thread at some point I think. Also blinky's beard matches the marauder to some degree and we already established that FTTW wasn't fluffy.
Edit: Yes, Markusin did post his picture here (http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=9959.msg342219#msg342219). That's him on the right. Detective skills, FTW!

I've posted my picture on the forum before.
Jsh's guess may have something to do with having spoken to me over Skype during our Dom League match in season 1.
Edit:Ninja's about the photo thing by GeoLib.

Now you know; I'm the shorter one.
-
I was able to guess how Markusin looked based on his voice, yes. FTTW has the longer hair because he's in a band. That just left KingZog. Purely scientific reasoning.

Wow, talk about an optical illusion... it's that dark space between the logo and the head that threw me off. Well, guess I got lucky.

You are the one in the middle. I think jsh has just had a long day and we need to all just take it easy on him. Things like left, right, and middle can be difficult

you shaved your red hair for this?

Speaking of which, a friend of mine had a photo of him made into a meme:
(http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/my-helmet-protects-my-virginity.jpg)
He has since cut off the afro and he's a pretty sick guitar player. Here's his site:

Have you forgotten already? You're Wandering Winder. C'mon.
EDIT: And yes, I'm the guy on the left. Of course I had to blink in the picture. Otherwise you'd know the colour of my eyes and we couldn't have that now could we.

Everyone knows drummers get all the ladies.

Lots of these have been springing up. There might be one near you too!

You just HAVE to ruin everything don't you? First you ruined the meetup by having us play Smallworld in French with your shitty instruction. Then you ruined the photo by blinking. Now you ruin this thread by revealing my true identity. I hope you know what this means for the city of Gotham.

That's actually a myth. I believe the order of lady-getting goes something like this:
1) Singer
2) Guitarist
3) Bassist
4) Tromboner
5) Drummer
6) Keyboardist
7) KingZog3
So as you can see, the drummer is at the lower end of the spectrum. It's a sad sad life.

As a drummer and a keyboardist, I can confirm this. And I'm KingZog3 too, since we're all Wandering Winder.

Hey! I had a girlfriend for 3 years AND I'm a drummer. And I seriously think Tromboner and drummer are switched on that list, and Tromboner is a funny name.

It's not my fault you can only speak one language. And I know what this means for Gotham. It means there needs to be a new hero. A hero this city deserves, but not the one it needs.

probably near the top. he is a reckless and mean spirited guy without conscience, that tends to be beneficial.

I was a singer/guitarist in my band. I can confirm FTTW's ranking.

KingZong is good at Dominion, gets all the girls, and is just an all around awesome dude. In other words, the complete opposite of KingZog.

Unlike KingZog, who is just a very angry, overly competitive, passive-aggressive, adversarial liar who made some Dominion cards once that nobody cared about.

So to continue our discussion earlier (mainly just to brag) this cute Ethiopian girl straight up walked on stage after a set and asked for my number last night. She had already come up to me and tried to talk but I kinda brushed it off. I had to tell her I have a girlfriend and it was kinda awkward and sad... for both of us.

Also pics or it didn't happen.

Happens all the time after delivering a killer math lecture. Peebles can confirm.

That probably happens more often for mathematicians than it does for me.
