A MYSTICAL MINDS COOKBOOK!  Our very own Bee is putting together a cookbook of mystical recipes created by mystical cooks!  If you would like to submit a recipe please email Bee at bee14094@yahoo.com by December 14th. If you would like to receive a Mystical Cookbook then please email her with your mailing address also by December 14th.  Thank you Bee!

The current Mystical Minds homepage is no longer the fall/turkey page, we now have a Winter themed page.  Due to last months problems of getting the page to update for some members, the site has been given a new address, this should eliminate any problems.  The new address is http://www.kioskorner.com/wintersite.htm On the same note, the fall page will no longer get updated so please save the winter site to your favorites.

We also need to inform you of an upcoming change in Case's Ladder. The current Cases Ladder black and red website is being eliminated and a new site is being designed for ease of use and navigation and appearance and will have lots of new features! What this means is...... in the very near future, every league will be converted to this new site with new tour calendars, new links, new everything! Please note that your stats and ladderbux WILL NOT be affected, Case has assured us that will remain unchanged. At the time of transition for us, we may not be able to use our own site (kioskorner/wintersite) because as I said the tour calendars and links and all will be different, so we will all have to get familiar with the new Case's site so that we can continue touring.  We will all be learning our way around the new site together and we need to go into it with a positive attitude....noone likes change, especially when it's not neccissarily by choice, but we're hoping that it will be a good change! The most important thing is that we still get to be together and do what we are best at....Having Fun! We will keep you updated on the when's and what's of this change as the details get posted.

RULE REFRESHERS

*We want you to know we are working on stopping the incorrect token giving during a tour. Please do not get offended if you are asked to refresh your room by the host. We are randomly having people refresh
to update their tokens in an attempt to stop the few who are giving improper counts. It is sad we have to go to these extremes to get fair games, but we think it will be worth it.  Remember, it's not about whether we win or lose but how we play the game!

*DQ'ing in a tour....We want to remind all of you that once you give your final token count in a tour, you may not disqualify yourself and give the win to your opponent. If you dq yourself before you give your token count, then your opponent wins. If you give your token count and then try to dq, the win will go to the person you are matched against in the next round. The rules state that the person with the highest token count moves forward and the host must stick by this rule.

*Game Rules and Table Setups: For anyone who is unsure about how the rules go or how to set a table in a particular game you may refer to the Game Rules link on the left side of the main page. If you have any questions please feel free to ask a host.  It would also be helpful to check out the FAQ link on the left side of the main page as well for further info and player etiquette.

As we grow bigger, the staff of Mystical Minds are continually coming up with new kinds of tournaments and contests so that all of our members will have a chance at some different competitions and winning some great prizes!  In order to keep up with this demand we have decided to open up to our members who would be graciously willing to donate prizes to help us in providing our members with these kinds of prize tournaments! Please contact a member of the Admin team if you would like to donate!  Thank You!

 

HOPING THIS FINDS YOU AND YOURS HEALTHY AND HAPPY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

Have fun and enjoy our Mystical Minds!!
