May, 2013

• adam wrote an article (controversial) Sent Saturday, May 18, 2013 The Play Point requirement for Nationals has been a topic festering in the back of my mind for a long while, and after a recent incident where two well-known players were suspended in what appears to be an attempt to gain Play Points to earn participation eligibility, I was sent over the edge and HAD to write about it: http://sixpriz.es/10c5fhv My thoughts are controversial, but I think I make a fairly strong case for the Play Point requirement being bad. It's a fairly […]
• record breaker Sent Thursday, May 9, 2013 Traffic on PkmnCards.com has been blowing up the past few days and I'm kind of inspired to work on it more... are there any missing features that you'd like to see? I haven't brainstormed too much yet, but I was thinking maybe the ability to save your collection might be neat. I kind of doubt anyone would ACTUALLY take advantage of that though. I like trying to optimize the site so it loads fast, and I know the Disqus comments are kind of terrible for load times. I've […]
• playmat design revealed Sent Thursday, May 2, 2013 Here it is, courtesy of the artistically adept Nicholena Moon: https://twitter.com/SixPrizes/status/329944726340005888/photo/1 This is just the outline by the way, the final product WILL be in full color. The theme we decided to go with is a Ho-Oh wings/tattoo style design. My main goal for the project is to make it look cool - I'm not really that concerned with blatantly advertising 6P, I'm more in the mindset where I want the playmat look neat and that's the reason […]

April, 2013

• here's ADAM Sent Monday, April 29, 2013 I'm BACK after skipping out on last week's newsletter - I didn't feel there was anything worthwhile to share, so I decided to give you a breather. The articles from last week were mostly based on theory (i.e. theorymon) and I prefer to publicize only concrete information rather than hype what may or may not hold true, so you didn't miss out on too much besides some Plasma Freeze speculation and early deck lists. Jay and Andrew who wrote were in kind of weird positions […]
• new dice!!!1 Sent Thursday, April 11, 2013 As luck would have it, I found these sitting on my front doorstep right before I was going to type out this newsletter: http://sixpriz.es/Zcs0R8 Which color do you like the best? I got samples made so you guys could let me know which you like the most, and then whichever seems to be the most popular I'll get printed in bulk to give away for free at US Nationals and Worlds. (The green/gold ones are going to stay exclusive as a prize for those who beat an Underground writer […]
• i started drinking again... Sent Friday, April 5, 2013 For the first time in many moons, I've decided to experiment with COFFEE. (What did you think I was talking about??) I avoided it like the plague for years, but I've heard both good and bad things about it, so I'm giving it a shot again. So far I don't really notice too much of a difference in how I feel. I drank it way too late at night earlier this week and had some trouble falling asleep, but that's about it. But what has given me a buzz this week has been a few of our […]

March, 2013

• oh my, he's on fire! Sent Saturday, March 30, 2013 Anyone else see the Michigan/Kansas game tonight? Crazyyyy. That's why I love the NCAA tournament. (My bracket was demolished after last weekend, by the way. I think I'm done with brackets... I never win anything and it makes me appreciate the games less when my teams go down.) Anyway, another week, another pair of Underground articles. My life has been feeling kind of redundant lately, and I hope these newsletters are still somewhat interesting. I need to think of something […]
• too tired Sent Thursday, March 21, 2013 Today turned out to be an extremely long day for me somehow, even though I didn't have that much to get done. I think the issue was that I slept terribly because our dog was outside barking all night waking me up but I didn't feel like getting out of bed to let it in, so I'd wake up for 15 minutes, fall back asleep, then wake up from the Pomeranian yipping again 30 minutes later, etc... THEN my brother's alarm clock started going off and that woke me and overall it was a […]
• i lost 4 dice :( Sent Thursday, March 14, 2013 How did States go for you last week? I went 4-3 at PA with a borrowed RayEels deck (thanks espy87!) and played a few challenge matches afterward, losing once more, totaling 4 losses and 4 elusive 6P dice given away. Not too many have been relinquished between me and the other writers (Colin went undefeated and Dylan was undefeated through Swiss), so this weekend should be another prime opportunity to win one if you are fortunate enough. Again, full details about the promotion can […]
• The Top of Tier 1 + The Lurkers of Tier 2 Sent Thursday, March 7, 2013 States this weekend! I'll be at PA on Saturday, and you'll have a chance to win an exclusive 6P dice from me or one of our Underground writers: http://sixpriz.es/16c0A0I I'll most likely get more printed for Nationals and Worlds (and maybe Spring Regionals if I'm on top of things), so don't fret if you miss out this time around. I most likely will never be selling dice directly on the website because shipping is such a pain. I want to avoid post offices at all costs, […]
