REVERED, even.

Not the shawarma! I was the Eyrie player at your first board, and I didn't recognize you. Thanks for the fun video and for all your playthroughs and faction guides. It was an honor to play with you sir.

[@Nevakanezah_]

Ayyy ggs! All i remember of that game was you guys were good at the game, and too tolerant of my bullshit

[@jasongregory9456]

Gracias. I loved the second otter meeple in your video representing the Riverfolk player's son. Be well. @@Nevakanezah_

Food poisoning induces a Root flow state. Noted. Will hit up some Indian buffets next game!

[@Nevakanezah_]

Usually it's the other kind of flow state.

I'm from Portland but unfortunately wasn't in town for the convention. I know Guardian Games very well. So while I didn't get to meet you, I now have the means to collect a DNA sample of your vomit from the gravel patch, which will be almost as good!

[@Attack-Cowboy]

I enjoyed the recap of our semifinal and the rollercoaster swings of that last turn round the table. Really was a great end to a close game.

[@Nevakanezah_]

My body was wholly unprepared for the experience.

[@senkaiqf]

Hey Nev, thanks for making that Corvid guide video, not only did it made my day that time it also helped me achieved my first ever crows win last weekend! Granted it did come at the cost of manipulating my friends and committing emotional abuse. Hope you keep having fun making these top-quality videos and take care of yourself💪

[@Nevakanezah_]

Glad you enjoyed it! I can only promise that first thing though, cause i'm gonna keep ordering shawarmas.

[@LordoftheBoard]

This is beautiful. Thank you Nev. once again. It was an honor to meet you. I appreciate you so much! This video made me so very happy.. but sorry about that food poisoning.

[@Nevakanezah_]

You too! As for the illness, at least it makes for a good story.

Wonderful storytelling (and meme usage) as always! I'm sorry to hear about the ambush card held by the shawarma, but happy to hear how everything recovered from there.

[@IanDuggan-yd8kp]

Ah, I can’t believe I missed the Root convention and the opportunity to meet the legendary and food poisoned Nevakanezah! Just started getting into Root this past September, and I hope Root Con comes back here to Portland next year.

[@AutumnReel4444]

Just wanted to thank you for your silly little Root youtube channel. I have recently been displaced a couple times and one of the things that has helped in keeping myself feeling grounded and calm is playin Root Digital when I can. Repeatedly watching your videos have been, in my estimation, a crucial component in finding that joy and peace. Thank you random internet person. Have a good one.

[@Nevakanezah_]

Comments like this are pretty much why i started making videos. While I pretty much expected to be a wiki for sweaty players, the number of people thanking me for being soul food will never stop surprising me. Glad to be of service!

[@AutumnReel4444]

​@Nevakanezah_ Luckily, as an occasional MtG sweaty tournament grinder, this channel also feeds my hunger for tryhard analysis oats. May your draws be suited bird! (unless on Lizards)

where is the video of the final game found?

[@Nevakanezah_]

As of yet, WWM/GTS has not posted it. Apparently the team had a bunch of life/work complications arise shortly after rootcon happened, and the video/podcast got put on the backburner. Their stated plan is to release the video alongside the start of the next season of WWM, for which they've apparently done some recording already. No ETA on that delivery though, you'll have to watch the GTS discord for more info.

Still hasn't been posted. WM121 posted a comment in May saying they'd been able to get together to record some of the intro for the video, and that's the latest we've heard of it. My read is that they, just like everyone else over 30, are struggling with the NP-complexity problem of scheduling three adults at once.
