I know we're still waiting on the Finals to finish....might as well get the paperwork done on the next event!!!

So through popular request....we compiled a list....or should we say an anti-list for this event....a chunk of guys most people don't consider top-tier.....or flat out BAD they are....so much like the last event....you sign up....you get two of those decks randomly chosen for you.....you pick one of the two....OR....you go option C and take one random from the rest of the field....and here's the field of decks to sift through

all I ....we....whatever. ...ask, just because you get a "bad draw" (that's the WHOLE DAMN POINT)...play it out....drops suck for everyone and make things a general hassle, we're not playing for anything here, and the whole idea IS to keep the game going ....just try to be around and we can move the rounds along as best as possible

I don't mean this to be a slam on the Funk-Con tournament and the other ones in the area (as I've said elsewhere, I'd LOVE to have a big once a year event in NJ aside of these other cool Raw Deal events).....but it seems to me there's a lot more buzz and excitement for this con "West of Chicago" then there is for the annual trip to Indianapolis......a nd I'm just wondering "what makes that event more interesting or appealing to the people that are thinking of going to this and not Gen Con six weeks later??? This isn't intended as a flame war of this event vs Indy (I'm planning/hoping on both)....but I am curious into the decision process on both for people, and if there's something we can do to make Gen Con more appealing for people to come and join us at!

so, if I am the Young Bucks....and I flip cards....and trigger my gimmick....which triggers ring of fire.....which triggers my gimmick..... see the issue here?

Does this cause an infinite loop or does this end after one sequence?

Say I play Superkick....I flip two, I scoop one, I trigger ring of fire....I scoop one more, does it stop there or am I dumping my deck into my ringside in an infinite loop?

.....so what the hell is going on with this??? If we lost John to a Pokemon coma or something....I'll gladly run it....who's interested??

About 3 or 4 months ago when I was showing my GF Supershow one of her kids got out of bed like she does every night and came into the living room and normally we just yell GO TO BED and they go back.....this time one of the twins saw what we were doing and asked about it (guess it coulda been worse :p ) .....so we made her a deal....go back to bed and next time I'll bring the game and we'll let you guys play too....turns out they LOVED IT and insist I bring it every time I go there (playing it between commercials during the Flash on Tuesday was an exercise in hilarity  ) ....sooo anyway....I forget how they noticed, maybe I was building a playtest deck...or just looking through some cards ....and of course....nosey kids are nosey....and now they're clamoring to try "this other wrestling game"...oh boy.....I know better than to venture into Classic Raw Deal and certainly NOT AA, it would take them a DAY to read all the backstage cards alone......

....so I'm thinking Revolution (and I'm also waving the aggression rule, I am not sitting through eight year old rage because she drew a bad hand :p ) .....and I'm trying to think of some SUPER-SIMPLE decks (yes Brian I'm glaring at YOU with that one)....to get them into the game and give them a taste of what this game is like.....the few guys I am thinking of now:
the Shield
Tajiri
HHH
Kurt Angle

(notice all of these guys have basic abilites, a simple mechanic and will let them SPAM moves till it hurts)..... any other suggestions you guys can think of??

I may also limit the mid-match cards to bring them along slower too....which would wipe Angle from the conversation too.....

I was gonna post this over the weekend....oops!!! Well here we go anyway, I usually like to run these in January and August, but we wanted to kick the tires on the nXt format, so a month behind is fine too....you know the deal by now....we have 13 decks from Mike's collection put on the side from his passing....you pick one....you play it...and you wait for me to draw Too Cool and lose my mind :p

Anyway, it's a fun event and always a challenge to climb into someone else's Raw Deal Brain.....

Start Time: Probably 5pm-ish....depends on my hockey schedule that day (and not like people aren't coming for Fastlane anyway)

Location:
160 W. Westfield Ave, Apt A-1
Roselle Park, NJ

Looking forward to it!

So we finally kicked the tires on the new nXt Format....and FINISHED AN EVENT IN ONE DAY (that's a record, the format certainly helped, pre-match was infinitely quicker)...when I have more time later I'll add some thoughts on comments on the format itself, but here's who was there and who they played:

Scott Mackie: Shield, 4-0
Lou Yontef: b2B Warrior, 1-3
Steve Laflamme: Sable, 2-2
Brian Paolercio:  Big Bossman,
John Ramos: JBL, 2-2

Round 1:
Scott (Shield) vs Laflamme (Sable)
Jesus Sable/Rock is a BEAST to kill (even with only 50 cards), Sable crawls to 10 and then starts spamming Cold Cocked (make your own jokes here), to keep you in volley lock and keep
you throwing moves from hand, than sponges them and puts the reversal right back to the bottom….game basically goes, Shield reverses Volley card, she gets two other volley moves back,
Sable sponges move on overturn, saves 2 reversals (a once is enough and a skirt) for the triple power bomb then gets the 3rd reversal on ONE..but eventually falls to of all things a WhirlWind
Kick with only one card left in deck and no reversals in hand….Sable put up a bigger fight than the Seahawks had to this point….heh
Winner: the Shield

Lou vs Ramos
An upset!!! I fully expected JBL with 12 cards + 2 for the limo and using dynamically inclined to get his hand set and rolling along to steamroll Warriors multis, the punch of course goes
through, it gets stopped on overturn. Lou crawls to 9, gets the self-destruction out and just guys JBL's ring and pulls out the HUGE upset!
Winner: Warrior

Round 2:
Scott vs Lou
Shield gets a little bit of a slow start and doesn't get all the reversals in hand (rare for the Shield), but the Shield does get the reversals finally, slowing Lou down with the vests in play
and just inches and pounds some blindsides through till Warrior runs out of reversals….Warrior flips break the hold on the last card and just to end the misery I took the count-out
Winner: the Shield

Ramos vs Brian
I was a bit preoccupied with the football and a bit of hockey stuffs for this week with Lou and didn't see this one, but DaB JBL is pretty damn good.....
Winner: JBL

Round 3:
Scott vs Ramos
Pump Kick goes through, but used Hounds of Justice to see his hand to see an 8D Full Nelson Slam TB would go through, used the 8F to throw some Vickie Protected Moves and Blindsides
while drawing tons of red to deny him fort after the Pump Kick, Seth's Enzigurl and Revo of the Mind officially end the game for him
Winner: the Shield

Brian vs Laflamme
Sable got a bad hand and damn Bossman beat her like he was Marc Mero…good God….Steve usually makes these decks good, but it just never got out of the blocks here….
Winner: the Big Bossman

Round 4:
Scott vs Brian
Brian gets the first handcuffed/panic off, but after that the Shield does what they do….reverse, ability, discard blindsides and then throw them, with the draw effect off the reversals,
the fort to play blindsides and Brian's hand not being able to keep up with mine I just outlasted and beat him down with countered-blindsides, Brian did goof and didn't reach/grasp the
Blindside Slam but I don't think it mattered at that point
Winner: the Shield

Laflamme vs Lou
Lou just had some bad deck luck in this game, Frankie Ho made his multi reversals useful, and switching between DMI and Rock to control his hand and ringside, plus the 8 card discard
(ouch) for the men who came to see me and Lou just never got out of the box, shoot promo got double-skirted and his own Old School Wrestling Match (TB) finished him
Winner: Sable

Round 5:
Brian vs Lou:
Warrior gets his starting F on the punch, but then Bossman's ability to un-multi and scoop moves from ringside was just too much, Lou used the undermine to try to come back, but Bossman just threw the same moves again that Lou removed and Law and Order prevailed!
Winner: the Big Bossman

Funny side comment was Lou a bit annoyed sniping about the fact that in "the real wrestling world" Warrior used to beat Bossman in 90 seconds....guess that Sable loss annoyed him too 

Laflamme vs Ramos:
Didn't see much of this, but I'm sure JBL's superior hand and searching powers served him well against a Sable deck that needs some tweaking (I didn't like most of the 6 specifics he packed in her,
but that's a debate for another day)
Winner: JBL

All in all a good day, solid turnout and a thumbs up to the nXt experience (though I do miss the signing appearance and the backstage auto session for hand cycling and the like, but I'm getting out of that habit the more I play the format)

...looking forward to the next one, though we might do a MAMI event since we didn't run it this month (I like doing one in January and one in August when possible for some obvious reasons)...we
shall discuss!!!

The future is NOW....and the future is HERE....time to kick the tires on the newest format in Raw Deal..... nXt!!! So shrink those backlash decks and find your old Raw and Smackdown tins, since your decks will fit again!!!!

Date: Jan 17
Time: TBA, but usually runs day long (since we usually have 6 or less and we like Round Robin format for that many people)
Prizes: If I get off my lazy butt and order them
Location: ....same as always.... 160 W. Westfield Ave, Apt A-1, Roselle Park, NJ
Hope to see people there!

Since I have enough crap going on for my birthday next week, we'll save it for the week after....same as last time, virtual classic (Lou isn't caught up to learn Revo/AA yet), plus it will give people a good reason to avoid their families for a holiday weekend

Time to be figured out probably that day since I have nooo idea right now....hah!

So we finally aligned the stars and got everyone in the same place at the same time (the older you get, the harder that becomes) and had a five person round robin event at my place on Sunday....I kinda had my head in the football games and the Hell Cell Show when I wasn't playing my game, and I also got one of my hockey buddies who saw one of the pics I took when I was packing for Gen Con and he went "Raw Deal is still alive??" and we finally got him to come out and play and I gave him a nice simple deck to start with and a quick flight to Suplex City and away we went!

Scott: (CSF, Sting): 0-4
Brian: (Heel B2B, Erick Rowan) 2-2
Laflamme: (the obvious kick deck of Paige) 1-3
Lou: (Eat...sleep...Germa n Suplex....repeat)  3-1
John: (Face/Blindside/OS Cage, Macho Man) 3-1

My games went like:
Scott (Sting) Vs Brian (Rowan)
Sting loses key reversals to Donnybrook, Rowan jumps ahead in fort and the plunge on Foundation of Old School Wrestling keeps me from playing ANY useful reversals, Street Fight gets reversed first 3 times in a ROW....so no baseball bat....nice knowing ya Stinger

Scott vs Laflamme (Paige):
Quite possibly the WORST "Deck Luck" in Raw Deal history, no matter what I overturned, no matter what I drew, if I did anything but look in my deck and find the frakking card myself and put in  my hand or ringside pile there was NO WAY IN GOD'S GREEN EARTH that goddamned baseball bat was coming anywhere useful to me, it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic....conside ring the damned deck is built around that stupid bat.....yeah.....

Scott vs Lou (TBI):
It's scary just how good the whole "just throw multi German suplexes till it bleeds" can be for the Beast, it fits him....it works....reverse Sting's Baseball Bat a few times, and then eventually F-5 a Stinger Splash...this Sting decks needs some tweaking, "throw the bat till it sticks" doesn't work quite as well.......

Scott vs Ramos (Macho Man):
Yay, a face deck and more 0F reversals to kill the bat with...I might be going at this deck wrong and maybe I should switch to surfer Sting and put more hybrids in the deck....just dropping Unique moves did a lot better in my lackey testings (given one deck was Total Package and he's just terrible) ...

Lou did well (and had a good deck)....he hadn't played Raw Deal since before chain/heat/volley, but got the idea of chain quick, and ACE's and how to reverse them (the Beast deck had the Chris Nowinski package in it for recovery and to show him when to and NOT to use the ACE's the added surivial and him falling in love with here comes the Calvary...hah), and even surviving a two hour marathon match with Paige in his first game (some of that was him learning the cards, what they did and what gets played where in the pre-match), but once you lay down the purple, the beast does what he does.....suplexes the piss out of you and dares you to eat an F-5, hopefully he can pester his brother (who I play with on Friday Nights, but that league doesn't start for two weeks)

So yeah Sting went 0-4 in the Round Robin.....I should have seen that coming, but I wanted to run Sting since Lou was a big Sting mark and thought he'd like seeing him in action (shoulda ran Warrior since we have a big goofy Ultimate Warrior face on our team shirts for the Wednesday league he's the captain of that team, yes this shirt REALLY exists)...Sting needs some help and the one unique per turn KILLS him when he's trying to make a comeback...and not only did I help Lou along here getting back to Raw Deal, but I scored the most awkward goal I've ever scored in all my years of hockey for his team....heh

We'll figure out a weekend for an event in November too, plus we'll have more free for all's during the month too as we try to bring him along and get his brother back into the game too

It's amazing how fast this time of year flies by (I swear its the world taunting me that my birthday comes in December :p ).....though I bet last night felt like a million years passed to Chiefs fans....boy that was rough, you had it all in the palm of your hand, but couldn't keep your hands on the ball (5 turnovers including that brutal Charles fumble, I don't blame the Chiefs for getting JC the ball, you get your best guy a chance with the ball in the best way you can to make a play....but maybe some kind of pass into space would have been wiser, Andy Reid has never been a great adjustment coach, but least he knows how to use his talent better than that fool Kubiak does (to me a bad coach makes his players try to fit his system instead of making his system fit his players).....Denver might be the luckiest 2-0 team in the league come Monday Night....but time to take a look at the weekend ahead! (Yes I hate Thursday Night games and my picks tend to suck in those games, I'm already 0-2 in them actually) the games of the week to look forward to!

New England at Buffalo:
Winner here gets a big head start on the rest of the AFC East (2-0 and an in-division win), both teams looked pretty impressive last week, but I'm thinking Buffalo's success was more all about the match-up with Indy and beating up on a softer team and making the Colts play their game....the Patriots will have no issues in matching that, especially with Blount returning to the line-up, the one thing I'd be concerned with for the Patriots is DeAngelo Williams ran WILD on them last week and that goes right into the Bills bread, butter (and any other frakking snack Rex feels like feeding them today), but it's still hard to go against Tom Brady when the other guy is still starting game 2 and has never seen a Belichek defense like he will SUnday

Tennessee at Cleveland:
Once a week we look for a train wreck....and oh boy does THIS have the makings of it....yes the Titans rolled last week, but are they really good enough to do it two weeks in a row? Oh wait, it's the Johnny Backup-lead Browns with no running game and probably Dwayne Bowe moping about his sore hammie....so yeah, the Titans will be 2-0 and probably score a thousand points....but I'm still hoping for a train wreck!

St. Louis at Washington:
This has all the makings of a CLASSIC letdown game for the Rams...big win at home over division rival, crazy ending....and awful team on the road playing against them....but if the Rams want to talk playoffs, then they better win this kinda game too....not to mention their front four has a MASSIVE edge over the mess that the Redskins call an offensive line, and just not a good team all around....I always fall into the trap of these letdown games....but hell I can't pick the Redskins here....I just can't......

Dallas at Phily:
Most of the time in the NFL it's now who you play, but WHEN you play them.....given the Eagles didn't look all world against the Falcons (in fact Julio gave them fits all night last Monday) but the Cowboys being out Dez Bryant totally changes how their offense is going to run for the next 4-6 weeks, Beasley is a nice slot receiver and Witten is a good possesion TE, Williams is nice deep threat, but none of these guys or the alleged "next man up" (I hate that term, if the next guy up was that good he wouldn't be the damn next guy), but Phily is just too healthy and at home....and Dallas is running "offense by committee" which could get ugly in trading points with the Warp Speed Offense.....

Seattle at Green Bay:
I know it's early in the year but this is kinda a MUST game for the Seahwaks....the Kam Chancellor chatter is getting louder, people are questioning (again) the game ending play by the Hawks, and the defense is looking a big more mortal....and now they have to go to Lambeau to play a team that owes them a thrashing or two from the last few seasons, Seattle should be able to ground and pound and dumb the game down, but I just don't like them on the road and against this Packer team that honestly owes Seattle one.....

Jets at Colts:
I'm curious to see how the Colts bounce back after getting beaten around by the Bills last week and playing a similar type team in the Jets, the Jets may have a bit of a better offense too, but I think last week's wakeup call serves them well and we get the A game from the Colts and both teams end up as 1-1......

This is the problem with starting a Raw Deal event during Wrestlemania.....on ce everyone started getting too involved with the actual show.....we kinda lost track about Raw Deal ....and it took five weeks to get most of our schedules lined up so we could try and finish the dang thing (mostly my fault and Rob's fault, but hey real life gets in the way too....it's all good, and now it's all finished!), some amazingly long games also didn't help, but it was well worth the results!

Brian Paolercio: Rated RKO
Steve Laflamme: Kofi Kingston
Scott Mackie: John Cena
John Ramos: William Regal
Rob Tonnesson: Brock Lesnar
Chris McCabe: CM Punk


Round 1:
Scott (Cena) vs Laflamme (Kofi)
No one draws a second solution, but going first gets me the fort for one solution revolution. Laflamme
didn't pack hit like a girl and I steamrolled with with cores and means till he scooped.
Winner: Scott

Rob (Lesnar) vs McCabe (Punk)
In one of the most ABSURD comebacks in maybe all of our Raw Dealing history, Rob storms out of the box
hitting his first two core holds to stomp out in front, McCabe top-decks the new breed unleashed when all
Brock has the second solution (also Brock forgot to use the effect on the WWE World Heavyweight Title too, d'oh)
Brock pounds away until Punk overturns the 2 for the show, which gives him the defense cards, then Brock gets
a bit cocky, core gets the Second Solution, Brock's Full nelson slam eats Straight Edge and Punk gets rolling
and Brock and Rob can just sit there with WTF look as Punk makes the ridiculous comeback to pull it out!!
Unreal thing to watch....and unreal comeback by Rob to remind him that at least Lesnar was still wrestling...heh!
Winner: McCabe

Brian (RKO) vs Ramos (Regal)
In maybe the LONGEST match in Raw Deal Revo history, both decks hit all their moves that recover (this match
legit took 30 minutes), and of course after about every move...and of course after every move known to man is
thrown Brian pins Ramos with an RKO as a reversal....heh!
Winner: Brian

Round 2:
Scott (1-0: Cena) vs Rob (0-1: Lesnar)
Both draw second solutions, but Rob drew more early moves....much like their Summer Slam match, lesnar
throws and suplexes Cena all over the place, takes desperate hold two tries to get through, but Cena needed
one more turn to overcome the odds and be John Cena
Winner: Rob

Laflamme (0-1: Kofi) vs Brian (1-0: RKO)
Brian's first move reversed, Kofi hits 2 handed chop, Brian throws cores
to come back. Laflamme hits momentum mean, 2 for the show on the overturn
I am the legend killer removed Kofi's fort, Brian spams unique moves
since he's out of Off Your Mark Range and game over
Winner: Brian

McCabe (1-1: CM Punk) vs Ramos (0-1: Regal)
Ramos gets the first second solution, and jumps out early. McCabe makes a smart play on pushing the arm wrench through
and putting the second solution in his ringside on top of his deck. Next turn Ramos discards to get his scissor hold
to play it, so McCabe draws the second solution since he has tomorrow's legends out at that point Punk's ability to
fetch moves to keep the attack going despite losing cards for Regal's ability he gets to Overexposure range and
just beats down Ramos until the MEAN LEG CRABS (his words) finish him off
Winner: McCabe

Round 3:
Scott (1-1: Cena) vs McCabe (2-0: CM Punk)
And John Cena gets to look at the 20 worst possible cards in his deck....if only their real WWE matches went like
this Phil Brooks might still be in the WWE....Punk gets his first move through and the assault of holds and
trademarks was just brutal and painful.....Torture Rack puts Cena out of his misery....and the tourament, I agree
with every fan in every WWE Arena who screams CENA SUCKS (I'm a bit annoyed here)
Winner: McCabe

Laflamme (0-2: Kofi) vs Ramos (0-2: Regal)
Laflamme uses ability to hit the first mean, and just unloads an assault of means and Ramos has no answer for
it (not enough fort to play his reversals in hand) and it was another quick beatdown....
Winner: Laflamme (Kofi)

Rob (1-1: Lesnar) vs Brian (2-0: RKO)
Wow....for the first time ever.... Rob's perk doesn't kick in and it hurts to take hold cores and he only cycles 2 for
the WWE Heavy Title....this should be interesting....Rob's first scissor hold gets second solution, Brian swings a gut
punch and it gets stopped on 1....but it goes through, second Rob move gets a defense for its effort and Rob's already
starting to try to scratch and crawl....and then something ridiculous happened (almost on queue with Mick Foley talking
about Brockkkkkk Lesnnnnnnaarrrr) on the TV behind him.....the desperate hold went through...two scissor holds...used
It won't be tonight to get the Desperate Hold back and throw it AGAIN....and Ground and Pound....leads to a DOUBLE
COUNTOUT....wow.... the odds on this are insane.....Rob gets a bit conservative and ends his turn fearing a pain reversal
to cost him the epic comeback win....Brian sees this....goes I can't win.....takes the Double Count Out....wow
Winner: NO ONE (double count out)


Round 4:
Scott (1-2: Cena) vs Brian (2-0-1: RKO)
A rare case of good hand goes bad.....Second Solution his first gut punch, Scissor Hold goes through....but
he overturns 2 for the show....Orton Storyline asses my fort (and I had the desperate move in the hand *ugh*)
and I never climb back in the game
Winner: Brian

Ramos (0-3: Regal) vs Rob (1-1-1: Lesnar)
This was the classic case of the bad hand being insurmountable.... Rob draws ZERO red and forgets the pyro effect
of WWE Heavyweight Title (which hurt because the 4th card was the second solution he badly needed).... the only reversal
Rob played all game was before this gets out of hand....this game got out of hand....and Rob became the one in Ramos'
(eventual) 1-4.....heh
Winner: Ramos


Laflamme (1-2: Kofi) vs McCabe (3-0: CM Punk)
McCabe drew 3 0F moves, but NO reversals, desperate hold goes through first turn, but after that Laflamme starts
drawing second solutions and McCabe never really gets on the board and once Kofi gets going he can spin those
big damage follow-up pretty quickly and painfully and McCabe could not get back over that humps and that was
pretty much all she wrote to the 3rd follow-up Mean
Winner: Laflamme


Round 5:
Scott (1-3: Cena) vs Ramos (1-3: Regal)
Its amazing how when you look at decks to build you look at Regal and go "wow in the revo format that ability is
a real detriment to people wanting to play reversals".....and then you play against it, and you always have those 1-2
"i don't care about" cards to play with to discard and you don't mind reverseing....espec ially when you draw
as well as Cena can... ability + Double Leg Lock Crabs and getting second solutions let me whittle and beat him
down turn by turn and eventually take him out with the Dragon Sleeper....I'm kinda amazed at how suboptimal Regal
really seems to be....he just never gets out of the box.....
Winner: Scott

Laflamme (2-2: Kofi) vs Rob (1-2-1: Lesnar)
Well as long as the Lesnar, RKO game was long....this was quicker than a hiccup! Laflamme doesn't get second solution.
Brock hits the Belly to Back, and just steamrolls any attempts Laflamme threw at him, Rob finishes it with Here Comes
the Pain into the Full Nelson Slam for the quick pin, this match took under 2 minutes....seriousl y....
Winner: Rob Lesnnnnnaaaaaarrrrr r

McCabe (3-1: CM Punk) vs Brian (3-0-1: RKO)
Both decks drew second solutions.....one annoying thing in revo is the fact that if you don't draw a starting
move in your opening cards is you're kinda boned and you overturn six and start in the hole....this happened
to McCabe, he did a good job of keeping the hands even to keep Brian from scooping cards from his ringside for
the Edge storyline....and never got ahead for the Orton storyline to do anything, but Brian won the reversals
to hand race and eventually pulled McCabe in from countout to finish him with some random core to get the pinfall
Winner: Brian

Brian wins the event with a 4-0-1 record....and geesh Rated RKO is a LOT better than I expected....dang... . and I
found myself disappointed with Cena's draw engine....but you can only draw what's on the top of the deck....that's
kinda the problem....luck and fortune do come into play also....

With the next PPV being next week I don't think we're going to try for an event then, we'll figure something out soon
and announce it as soon as we can align some schedules!

Since we'll all be here all night during Mania and this Mania still looks like it's gonna come up short, and we're building a growing tradition here, why not divert our attention from the Wreslte-Crap and play some Raw Deal!! We're going to keep it Virtual Revo to help the noobs learn and grow along with us (and let them use the same decks and figure this out as they go)

Same deal as last time:
160 W. Westfield Ave, Apt A-1
Roselle Park, NJ

Time: TBD, but likely after 5pm (depends on when all can co-ordinate)

Prize Support is likely....but it's Wrassle-Mania anyway!
