Compliance II - Quick Update

The weekend just gone saw me and my son attending Compliance II over in Westbury. The quick version is that my poor old Tzeentch CSM went 2-0-3 with the 3 losses all coming on the Saturday before Sunday saw me racing back up the table to finish, erm, 17 out of 22. Luckily for me my son finished in 20th so the drive home wasn't too bad...

Pictures and battle reports to follow as soon as I can plus further updates on the preparations for MAD.

It's been a busy week at work with a major project go live and apparently I need to crack on with the DIY at home: somewhere between those two I'll get the Compliance Report sorted!

M.A.D. Progress - 18 Weeks to go

I'll sort out a static things to do list on the MAD page at some point soon but with 18 weeks to go here's a list of all the things waiting to be done:

1. Von Card - Designed. Awaiting final proofing
2. Covert Operation Cards - Designed. Awaiting final proofing
3. Super Secret Card - Designed. Awaiting final proofing
4. Scenarios - 2nd Design Phase
5. Trophies - under investigation
6. Certificates - Designed. Awaiting final proofing
7. Prizes - not started
8. Scenery Check - tbc
9. Referee Shirts - under investigation
10. Odds & Sods - tbc

So how are we doing? I've completed something that's not on the list. Is that good? I've redesigned the site logo using a brilliant font from Metzone Design called guttural. I've added a link to the site on the links page.

Since finding this font I've now redesigned all the cards and am now on to the certificates. Printing them all will be the next challenge but one thing at a time eh....

M.A.D. SOLD OUT

10 days. 40 tickets. All gone. Amazing response from everyone and I'm thrilled.

Reserve list is now open as fluidity is the name of the game.

Wow. Cup of tea please...

9 Days of Summer Craziness

After 9 days we have confirmed 38 places at M.A.D. This is an absolutely amazing response and all I can say is you guys rock!

Just 2 tickets left so if you want in please email me vonjenk@ntlworld.com quickly!!

MAD Latest

After 1 week of ticket sales we have 22 confirmed players for our Inaugural Event. We also have a further 25 possibles, maybes and need to check with the significant other!

We are very pleased with this response and offer our thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in M.A.D. It certainly bodes well for the future.

We're in the scenario design phase at the moment. Pretty much the first and last mission will be normal-ish but the middle one we're going to mess with. I've always hated the bases mission: it invariably ends in a draw and is of no use for tournament play. So in our design meetings we're starting with a simple question: what would happen if the bases could move?

Next up we're looking at designs for all the cards, certificates and trophies. It's 4 months away and the work is well and truly underway.

Site Changes

A quick update on some changes to the site. I had my first feedback today and as a result I've changed the pages around and hopefully made them easier to understand: feedback was quite right in that the naming of the pages was a little confusing.

Thank you for the feedback!

I've also added a Player Registration page so that you can sign up to be updated on future events as details emerge.

M.A.D. 2011 page has now been added and includes a list of the players currently signed up. If you want to add your name to the list then please email me vonjenk at ntlworld.com; you'll then need to fill in the entry form in the rules pack so that I can confirm your place.

Now to work out what to do with the Tournament Calendar...

M.A.D. Tickets on Sale

Our first event is up and running!
Tickets are on sale for M.A.D. at £13 and the rules pack and entry form are on the Von Events tab.

Will look at creating a MAD tab shortly so that we can keep track of all those wonderful players who will be coming along to have some fun in Wiltshire.
