Hi everybody,I'm proud to invite all VTES players to attend our Nationals on Aug31, 2008.Last year we had 26 players, but we hope to have more this year!I have the higest expectations for the Polish players: the tournamentwill be definitely worth the travel! Come and see yourself!Ector
oczywiście nie ma nic złego w graniu dla przyjemności, sam zagrałem dwie takie gry w 2007
Anyone is thinking about travel to Minsk? Cheap alcohol and easy girls?

Our club is administration building of GorkyPark - you will inevitably find the club if you find the park Belarus is a poor country, so the entrance fee is insignificant(especially compared to the travel expenses). Prizes are also minimal- but a good play is guaranteed!Here's my answers to the questions of Polish players (from their forumand email)> I posted this information on polish vtes forum and people are asking> questions about it.

There are almost no players in the lesser cities, alas.>Dobra, jedno pytanie... po ch* gadamy po angielsku skoro zainteresowani i tak s± tylko Polacy?My Polish is awful, so please excuse me if I've got the questionwrong. I wrote that we especially want to see the Polish players sincethe distance isn't too large, and they probably won't be disappointedwith our relatively small tournament. Last two years we were happy tomeet Lithuanian players and play with them, and I hope to see themonce more. We definitely will be happy to see all players, but,frankly, I can't believe that an Australian player can pay tremendousmoney just to play here Ector

A large tournamenttakes a lot of time.My contact information:Phone: 8-044-713-96-60 (English or Russian)Email: ec...@mail.ru> It also appears not to be on the White Wolf calendar.Sorry for that, but I don't know how to register it.

Personally I'd prefer to start early but play aserious tournament to start later, but have to play some messed-upgames when every round ends due to the time limit.Ector
