[I want your questions for Worlds Reveal Stream, June 13!]

Any further information for those planning on going to Worlds for the first time would be useful like should we look for places to stay ourselves or does FFG have some co-op with nearby hotels that players generally use or have the option on offers and so on.  I'm mostly interested in knowing if, after looking for flights I should look for a place to stay or wait for some offer possibility to book some convenient suggested place to sleep.

[Greatest game ever]

 

I'm lucky enough to have so many good memories that it's hard to choose the most memorable so I'll go with the first of those memorable.

It was at the 2nd Malmo Kotei I attended.  I was playing Dario Perri.  As usual (or when possible) I was playing Dragon enligthenment and at that time it was out of Pillars of Virtue and, being kind of isolated in Iceland and I wasn't playing online yet I really didn't have any experience facing the deck Dario was playing.  It was a Crane dishonor deck that was kind of broken at the time and it really was an uphill battle.  I manage to get 3 rings into play when he makes a small mistake with the order of his actions and I seem to recall that, along with some trick of mine, left him with no unbowed personalities.  He has plenty of cards in hand and I attack with Togashi Satsu and Togashi Kanmu at one of his provinces.  I need 4 battle actions to play Ring of Water and I think I'm missing force to take his province too.  So I use a kiho to drag one of his personalities into the battle and I can really see his face lighting up a bit like I've just made his day.  I use Pillars of Virtue to take an additional action and use Togashi Kanmu to send the personalitiy I just dragged in back home and gain 2F.  I can see that I've managed to surprise him and after some thinking he passes.  I procede to play more actions for Ring of Water, take the province for Ring of Earth and enlighten.
He showed me what he had in hand and I think pretty much any of his cards would have screwed up everything for me if he'd had the chance to play it.

To mention a few of the rest..

My game at the 2nd Malmo Two other games from the 2nd Malmo kotei:
The very good game againt Az Johnston and his honor at the end.
The epic play mistake in game 2 of the final where I was so tired that I misplayed and forgot to put on the table the 2nd focus card to win the duel and play Ring of Fire.

My first Europiean Championship:
The epic game against Stasinos Karampatsos.  For some reason from that first match our matchups throughout the years ar almost always epic!
The auction and burning of a copy of Kakita Matabei.

The Magical Mystery event at the Europiean Championship in Lyion where there where special rules every round 
...basically all the games but the drunken master final was something I'm not sure I'll have a chance to repeat!
Round 3 where I switched decks with a Unicorn player ...him around round 5 playing my deck "Oh, It's an enlightenment deck!"
The last game of the swiss rounds there was the hardest game mentally I have ever played.  Facing another Dragon military enlightenment deck in a game where was the special rule of the round that the stronghold had best traits of all legal strongholds and all abilities giving both of us so many options and possibilities!

The Ruby event at the Europiean Championship in Barcelona where I was facing a deck that was probably 95% identical to mine.  Both playing enlightenment with House of Tao and with 4 rings in play, both missing Ring of Water (need 4 battle actions to play), so no one wanted to attack, when he made the mistake of buying a Shadowlands personality.  Until then it was the biggest mexican standoff in my L5R experience.

The Aldershot Kotei where I played my Swiss Army knife deck that managed to win by every victory condition in the swiss rouds: enlightenment, honor, dishonor and military

Surviving facing a Moto Chagatai deck!

Many games again Dave Russel.  For a match that is more often than not a enlightenment vs. dishonor matchup they usually end up a slugfest

My only 4th turn enlightenment in Ivory.  I had a perfect hand and start against a Spider player from Poland.  I start with Ring of Water in play.  I play Ring Void on turn 1, Ring of Air on turn 3 and when he attacks on his turn 4 with 4 personalities and a good hand I play Fire and Earth.

The game against Dave Ruddock at the Worchester Kotei in 2015.
I was missing Ring of Fire against a Crane dueling deck that was very close to honoring out.
Just when he was about to cross I was still missing Ring of Fire.  I know he must have enough honor gain in hand to cross so I bluff and attack boldly.  We stare at each other for many minutes while he ponders if I have the cards needed to play Ring of Fire.  I could have but it's unlikely.  I put on my best poker face and try to keep my composure and not sweat.  After the longest time he decides not to defend that turn.  On the next turn he crosses and I attack for a final attack at his remaining provinces but don't have enough force to take all of them.  He again needs to decide if he should defend or not and another staredown ensues.  In the end he decides not to defend. I pull one of his personalities in and we duel.  I focus the 4FV cards I have in hand but I seem to recall that I still needed to focus from top. Luck was on my side that time and I manage to play Ring of Fire and win.

The Reykjavik Koteis and the chance to show my friends around Iceland.
