Welcome to the SpeakEC. This project was started about a year ago, even though I have this concept in mind for a long time. As you can see, the name is a play on words, using EC for Ellicott City, my home town. I’ve always wanted to incorporate Ellicott City in the design, but struggled for the longest time. I came up with the name, and started research and contacted 2 designers. In the end, I went with J5, and the rest is history.
The clock that you see is at the base of Main Street, in historic Ellicott City. While many towns have a clock similar to this, this one is special. On the afternoon of July 30, 2016, a storm passed over Maryland. This storm dumped heavy rains for a few hours; however, the heaviest part continued over EV for hours causing massive flooding. The flooding was so bad that many buildings and cars were destroyed. The clock, being at the bottom of the hill, was wiped out. Once the storm stopped and recovery efforts resumed, the clock was found, but was very damaged. They put the clock, in it’s damaged state, back on its pedestal. A year or so later, they. Clock was replaced, and shines on.
The time on the clock is 7:16; when the national weather service declares a state of emergency.
Some of the chips are inspired from some of my favorite sets, the 100 is based on the WSOP 818 hundred, using red instead of brown. The 1000 and 5000 are based on the Aztar spotted tournament set. The bounty chip uses the colors of the MD flag, one that most every Marylander loves so much.
I regularly host a 30 person tournament, so, I got this set that can handle all events. I can stretch it to 50 players if needed as well.
Breakdown:
400 x T25 (green, with canary and DG tiger)
400 x T100 (Gray, with red and imperial blue)
200 x T500 (lavender, with black and DG green)
300 x T1000 (DG Tiger, with DG peacock and bright white)
100 x T5000 (canary, with mandarin red and charcoal)
50 x T25,000 (DG peacock, with arc yellow and blurple)
50 x bounty (Retro Red with black and canary)
