The last asylum pack authorised will be the Wailer below.

At this point, I have 16 players. You can be part of it too! Lots of gifts! Fun! Beer! Women (perhaps)! A Cthulhu hat! Beer! And even more beer!

If you manage to supply women, I'l be there !!!

I'm kidding, but it will definetly be a great experience. See you in Liège tommorrow

I already sent a PM to B_P, but maybe it is better to say it here too: unfortunately I cannot be present in Liege :(

I set everything to come, but 2 days ago my supervisor at work gave me another deadline for next week so I have to work, sigh.

I was really excited about this tournament...anyway, I hope there will be another chance! Enjoy the cthulhu weekend :)

Konx.

The tournament is now over. We were 18 during this week end to fight for victory and Cthuhlu!

B_P

This was one of the best tournament I had since a long time !!

We had a lot of players to encounter and the 2 day-long format was fine, as it allows us to play multi.

This one is to be done by every european player, as the environnment + the kindness of all Belgians are really noticeable.

Sorry Marius and Konx couldn't reach us. As this was maybe the biggest Euro tournament of the year, I'm sure you'ld have enjoyed it !
