World Championships 2013 - Las Vegas

Links were banned in the chat, he would have got banned again xD

In all seriousness I did think it was fazdad, I don't see why anyone would bother to impersonate him for hours, but it was funny when he got banned, albeit unintentionally.
 
DYK...
Evan got the clock WR?
Evan went to my high school?
Evan lost clock finals by .01 seconds?
Aaron needs to learn to shut up sometimes?
Aaron commonly mixes up L and L'?
And U and U'?
We still average sub50 Team BLD with several sub40s singles?
Aaron knows everyone?
Aaron "purposely" did badly in 3x3 so he could win the consolation round, but then he screwed up in the consolation round?
I was too shy to meet that many people?
I still met some awesome people?
Steve is good at everything?
Steve DNF'd BLD, probably because he thought he would?
Drew was seeded 4th in 3x3 finals even though he hadn't gotten an official sub10 avg until this competition and he averages barely sub10?
I somehow got a 36 FMC, all these blocks just kept appearing and I got lucky on LL?
Kevin Costello III got a 32 FMC?
If he had known how to use an insertion he might have been able to get sub30, because his LL was a Superman?
KC3?
I actually confused Andrew and Noah?
The last scramble in my OH round two had 12 misoriented edges?
I was considering taking a DNF, but I got a 19?
Lucas missed 3x3 finals by .08?
Lucas wants to know my OH PBs?
I solved next to Feliks and only lost by 2 seconds in the first round of 3x3?
Drew got an LL skip an OH but totally ruined an 11 with a +2?
Kevin should make the 42mm Zhanchi his main?
No flash photography?
 
DYK...

Everybody that tried my 4x4 (including mats and Feliks) said something along the lines of "holy **** this cube is amazing"?

I only got one sub-40 single in the entire competition, which was a 32.09?

I got a 29.43 while racing Feliks (PB) but still lost to his 29.06, earlier however, I beat him with a 35?

My first 3x3 two handed solve at the competition was official?

D L2 D2 L U2 L' D2 L U2 L D'? (This is for Antoine)

Antoine's 4x4 official average is still faster then mine?
 
DYKs:
Cubecast lost my laptop case? T.T
Mega team blind and mega team solves are GREEEAAATTTT?
Sarah takes flash photography very seriously? :P
I met so many people that I started to forget mega PLLs?
I won't say 'Odder' anymore for fear of pronouncing it wrong?
Ravi's center caps? xD
I got hugs from Feliks, Mats, Cornelius, and Jay. Twice from Mats? :D
I'm going out to buy a set of Cards Against Humanity cards once I get home?
I definitely had more fun outside of comp than during?
British accents are the best when saying awful things? (James, Dan, Chris during CAH)


That's not a lot, but I might add later.

We were supposed to be able to set up the main hall at 4pm. We didn't end up being able to set up the main hall until 7:30pm?
I should have worn a pedometer to track how many steps I took, but I suspect I walked over 10 km a day?
The bank takes your ID and files a government report (probably anti-money laundering) when you withdraw $12k in 2-dollar bills?
Not a single parent has threatened to sue us yet?
But one did threaten to beat up James LaChance?
That I have no idea what the fumes coming from the t-shirts are?
And I hope that they don't result in cancer?
That the Weyer brothers relay vs Ian Winokur on 3x3x3 speedsolve is a very fair race?
That Ian Winokur beat my PB average by 0.3 seconds?
And he beat my multi-BLD PR by getting a 2/2?
That I'm going to take both of these back?
And my legs are *still* sore?

Oh... and... John George challenged the people hanging out in my room to a paper airplane contest, and someone almost made a paper airplane with my name, address, and credit card information and threw it out the window?

When Kian announced that the second round of 3x3 would have everyone from Feliks Zemdegs to Ian Winokur, that that may be the only time my name is ever mentioned alongside Feliks'!

-The first person I walked by when I got to the Philadelphia airport was Phil Yu.
-Odder was the funniest person I met (and roomed with).
-He says things as he realizes them and anything he says is hilarious.
-The sumo wrestling match ups on the sidewalk outside the hotel were a Rowe vs Lachance rematch, Limeback vs Faz, and me vs Rowe. Then the police stepped in.
-A few minutes later James Lachance got us kicked out of the casino for trying to get Macky and Mats to kiss. And then saying that 'this hotel's security sucks' while massive security guards were walking by.

-Rowe accidentally slammed Hays' head into the shower door at the after party.
-We didn't know if he got a concussion.
-Harris Chan got a 5.25 full step solve while we were racing.
-Julian David is awesome at imitating Haiyan (video to follow).
-A handful of us raced random made up events for a majority of the day on monday in the food court (videos to follow).
-I stackmatted a U2 x4 in 0.25 seconds.
-I'm unbelievably jealous at the size of Shonathon Collins' calves.
-I have a ringtone from a cod4 soundboard that yells 'INCOMING, INCOMING, INCOMING'. My phone was at max volume and it went off in the multi bld room during my and everyone's solves.
-Rowe would've gotten another tattoo if he had enough money with him.
-Andy Smith finally met Andy Smith 2 (video to follow).
-Andy Smith is a good dancer (video to follow).
-The hotel seemed like it was built 100 years ago.
-Eric Limeback and Breandan Vallance had the sickest entrances for 3x3 finals. Breandan's gave me full body chills and was trying not to act like a little schoolgirl.

-So is Faz.

-Vegas has some gigantic bugs.
-This was my 34th competition and first where I didn't get a single PB in anything, even though they held every single event.
-I should probably practice at least something before a competition.
-I attempted to re-learn all of 4bld in the 30 minutes before the end of 4BLD because I was supposed to be done for the competition, but wanted a PB.
-I started memo but failed it miserably.
-The best part of the competition was meeting cubers that you've never talked to, but still know who you are.
