Any advice for a tournament newbie? I'm nervous and excited at the same time.
Go to the ATM and challenge me to a money match.
Then wet your pants during said money match.
Also, if you see CXThomas, keep a him at least 2 car lengths away - just incase he gets hungry and tries to eat you.
Remember that people above and below your skill level are still people. Interact with everybody and make some friends.
Don't do any of this and if you have to have a conversation with someone, make up things about yourself to make you seem more interesting.
For instance - I like to tell people I'm a mormon. When a person asks me what the main differences between mormons and other christian faiths are, I tell them that I don't know because I'm not a mormon.
When they get a puzzled look on their face I look off into another direction and ask security to get this "Jiggaboo" away from me.
