I'm conflicted. I want cards to have a home somewhere and loved LL for that. I agree with CyB's negative impact, but CyB is neat

On power level, Needle could be restricted. They say Zen wouldn't get hit enough, but that deck can't use kodachi and kodachi + needle isn't too different from tiger tame

Louisville #fabtcg Armory Report - September

- Lowest combined player count of year
- 2 new players retained from previous month

Honestly, the avg armory size holding is crazy with Dawn, my brother, and I all having to dip out of the scene.

I have to skip the entire Proquest season and worlds because of their call in policies. At least I have money? #fabtcg

Notable Nobody @notablenobody.bsky.social · Sep 8

Starting a job tomorrow. It was the one place I applied to I didn't want, because it ruined my entire FaB armory schedule for the foreseeable future. Legit hurt when I got accepted

Feels weird to so heavily prioritize a hobby, but most work is just so filler by comparison

Yeah. We were trying, but Tuffnut pitches were not allowing us. I lost to arsenaling a Buckwild and never being given a turn that could use it.

This deck has crazy variance you wouldn't think is there.

Brought home some extra packs for @dawndelozier.bsky.social from the Prerelease to do our own sealed game. We both ended up with Tuffnut

We legit were going "Swing 6/7, Block 5/6, repeat" for the entire game until pitch stack. Some of the most boring limited ever, holy fuck #fabtcg

Wplace update. My House got 'griefed' into something way better. This Sage was a bitch to make, had to do a lot of free styling to fix the compression

Kind of a shame this doesn't matter anymore. Unrestricted Deadwood Dirge is a huge buff for Chane and Vis. Format's about to change again.

Skirmish Season 12 Living Legend final results are in and Briar, Warden of Thorns is your Champion 🏆🌱
Ira claims 2nd spot followed by a variety of heroes each taking a sizable share of wins for the season!

Nah. Briar's too fair, and I'm not talking about this Skirmish. Once the pros actually have to prep, it'll shift. Similar to what happened with Calling Chicago.

Notable Nobody @notablenobody.bsky.social · Aug 31

Won a Skirmish I shouldn't have #fabtcg

Resolved 1 CMH the entire tournament and lost every die roll. A good Ryu def let's you skill diff people. Probably time to find what the actual LL meta is for Philly.

Yeah. As bad as the upfront costs are in FaB, it's low upkeep cause of how it's structured. Brute mains only had to buy HVY and Super Slam, plus a few misc cards between those two sets.

#fabtcg Louisville Armory Data - August

* 4 New Players
* 1 Player retained from June
* Median armory was closer to 10+
* Miso shrunk armories to once per month, which might have killed it

I know most people have already left wplace, but this is scratching a very deep itch in me.

Use to sprite as a kid. Even if I'm not making anything original, it's been more fun than it should be.

#fabtcg I opened a single case of mastery pack guardian today and had the weirdest thing happen. I pulled 5 complete play sets of majestics including fearless confrontation and call for backup, plus got three copies of Base of the mountain. 2RF and a CF.There is some serious coalition problems….

I found my comfy blankey. Briar's doing me good. Bloooock 4. The Mountain certainly is Heroic

Wait, is NRG doing FaB sides? Had no idea

Notable Nobody @notablenobody.bsky.social · Aug 23

Yeah I wouldn't recommend that. Conduct should just be accessible to the suspended player is all.

Also, please disregard this burner account. This is false information. I would not make this kind of post if this were true.

Notable Nobody @notablenobody.bsky.social · Aug 23

Okay. I was advised to not give that burner account attention, but this is completely false information.

Dawn asked a judge for tokens because she needed a sticky finger. She didn't need baubles.

Eeggh..I was hoping that wasn't the case, but it would be unrealistic to have an LSS employee at every major event

Notable Nobody @notablenobody.bsky.social · Aug 22

That part might just be a truism across all TCGs and their pros/judges sadly

Though it might be because the judge programs are pretty inbred. FaB judge is mtg judge is lorcana judge.

To give LSS credit, I believe they want do something about this. Major events now have a "Player Experience Coordinator" that wear Pink Vests. They operate as LSS HR & are the ones you should contact if you have problems with a bad judge or general issues at the event

Dawn lost a hobby bc Zwanger retaliated against her, but the issue is beyond that. Competitive integrity is at stake. Judges shouldn't wield power like this

Please share this & any bad judge encounters you've had

If you have James White's ear, or anyone with authority, help us

As Lucas mentions on Runaways, you get a horrible sinking feeling talking to judges, even after years of experience. You need special language to not tip them off. They harbor bad actors willingly
