[inzeos]

Wondering if anyone has a team that needs another player?

My pink shirt wearing friends from Boston filled up there team this year after all.

[Horst]

so its all 2v2s down there?

whatever, still looks like fun.

/keeps reading....

looks sweet... anyone looking for an experience SM player for their team?

[jay]

The team is 4 vs 4 (2 vs 2) Best tournaments around.

There is single tournament on Friday and Sunday.

I believe Shaun and I are planning on teaching a class.

I believe we also might be driving?

I've got SM as well. If we could find a few more people we would be OK.

Several of the guys on this team are also 40k Radio Freebootaz.

[Horst]

dang, their full up.

[inzeos]

I'm down for doing Adepticon if we can find two more commited players.

[Krusty (zack)]

what would be the date and probable expenses?

[Horst]

its march 28th, that weekend. expenses are transport costs (its 600 miles away... I'm down for a roadtrip if you guys are), a hotel room for a few nights (if we split one between a few guys it won't be THAT bad...) and tournament entry fees. its $30 per person for the team tournament, and they have other tournaments that weekend at different rates.

if your looking for a team krusty, me and inzeos are looking for more

[Krusty (zack)]

possibly...
im not sure if ill have the money for that kind of thing by then (just dropped most of the money i had on a new car so im pretty much saving from the ground up)

ill get to you in a few weeks or something and see what the deal is

[evil_red_orks]

I have the time off specially for this tourney, id like to get a good team together

[jdubb]

This is going to be my first year attending and I'm already excited beyond belief: If anyone else can go, it would be awesome to see a large daboyz contingent. Right now it looks like there are 2 confirmed 4-person daboyz teams (ranked in order of awesomeness):

1) Shaun, Jay, Smitty, Me
2) The Hobins with 2 guys from Boston.

I know that Paul, Steve (Horst), inzeos(?) and Terry have all expressed interest. Who wants to commit and be captain of daboyz team 3?

Even if you can't/don't want to play in the team tournament (on Saturday), there are other 40k events to play in. Check out the complete event schedule here:

Rules: www.adepticon.org/?page_id=876

In case it helps, here are the details I've seen so far that might help with planning:

Dates:
www.adepticon.org
Adepticon takes place from March 26th to March 28th, but the pros tell me that arriving Thursday the 25th and leaving Monday the 29th is the way to go. Put in your vacation requests now.

Hotel:
www.adepticon.org/?page_id=11
Rooms are $114/night and look to be up to 4 person occupancy.

Travel from Rochester:
Southwest Airlines Direct flight from Buffalo to Chicago is $151 round trip (web price, book soon!). A Shuttle Van to the hotel (=/- 20 miles) should be $50 each way. Parking at Buffalo airport is $10 daily up to $50 weekly max.

Other things to consider:
Getting your models to Chicago - ship them? Carry them on? check them (yikes). It looks like our team is looking at shipping out some things ahead of time.

Hope this helps. I've put together a budget for myself to give an idea of what it is all going to cost me:

I'll post additional info as I have it.

Horst and I have been talking about getting a team together. We have a general theme idea to go with a bike based mechanized army theme. From what I have gathered themed fluffy ideas go over well at Adepticon.

Once we get a solid 4 together I'll start putting my money down for reservations etc.

Greetings Brothers,

I am not sure if I qualify for being part of Da Boyz, but there are no groups where I am from at all. Just me and my dad, our family group. The north country is absolute #$# for Warhammer. Me and my dad were planning on going to Adepticon so far, unless something real bad happens before then.

So, we could always share a hotel room with some of you guys and make plans together for tourneys and such. We will probably drive there but I am not sure. Just thought I would add this, in case it helps out.


Courage and Honour,
Ave Imperator

inzeos and shilekjalan - great to hear!
