Thrudball 2014 dates 9-10th August

If you get some online games under your belt, then TT isnt that much of a jump. There are Cyanide haters everywhere, but it really is a good way to learn the game.
And we were all noobs once. Personally I found my opponents very helpful and in the 13 or so TT events I've played, there have only been a couple of twats.

Thanks Itchen. Tbh I shouldn't be that bad. I know the basic rules and gameplay from the 3rd ed and just need to familiarise myself with the newer rules, skills and races etc. Surely its just like riding a bike

Just started replaying single player on the xbox version (I struggled to find online games when it launched so I imagine the multiplayer there is a graveyard now). I will see if I can teach the missus to play for some practice

Whereabouts are you DC? There may be local players to you.

I am in Horley, Surrey. I did see an old thread of a league in Redhill which I missed by a few months but I will try to pop along to the store one gaming night

[Itchen Masack]

I tried the x-box game...it's not quite right. If you can get the PC version on steam, it shouldnt be too expensive and is much much better (and has multiplayer)

[sann0638]

Cool. I would point you towards fumbbl.com too

We also have an award for best newcomer...

You're never too old for hockey tours, Your liver maybe but not you.

Yeah ok, between the damage they do to liver, wallet and knees I don't have many left in me!

Tough competition with the others making their Thrud debuts

Frank ...

Please put me down as attending

I've been off the scene for a while but do not want to miss out on the fantastic atmosphere and general Thrudliness

I'll send payment soon

[Giraffe]

Excellent, Dave, will be great to see you again, BRGA misses you!

DC please can you send me a reservations form via the thrusball website so I know your contact details?

p.s. DC we also have a most sporting award , most thrudlike, most cas td and a dockbowl for the bottom four teams...

[mathias]

Can't attend this year, duty calls.

[Giraffe]

Doh! You shall be missed, my friend...

[Giraffe]

Louis, thanks for payment, looking forward to seeing you!

For all you other Thrudballers, particularly repeat customers, please can you start getting your ticket fees in now please.

We would like to finance some new limited edition merchandise (possibly a Treeman model, some dice and maybe "Thrududo", which for IP reasons is of course nothing like the liars dice game perudo, possibly a new BRGAbabe vinyl board if Matt Dixon will allow, perhaps this lady as an apothecary?).

Plus there are caterers to pay...

All this depends upon your skill in financial planning, i.e. Budgeting your ticket money as SOON as you've booked the weekend off with work and "she who must be obeyed".
Plus as I am a little behind this year due to late auction payers, any help to source auction items, chase up attendees etc would be MOST appreciated.

I'm counting on my regulars to help.me this year, my gigstick failed on me yesterday and threw me back two weeks to my last backup.... MAYDAY! MAYDAY! AROOGA! AROOGA!

Thrud needs YOU!
