Anyone still looking for a teammate? Triforce, can I rent someone from the Arc for this? LOL
well i hadnt spoke to andre in a long time but i’ll team with andre tomorrow
so should i bring a madcatz stick for DC?
I may come tomorrow. Will need a teammate of course.
im in…but that 2v2 rule is a rig so this way no one except emp members can win
I know you mean this as a joke, but there will be remainders from the ARC at the tournament. Just ask them should they are available.
Rashaan, it will be more than just you and Andre.
You shouldn’t put yourself in a position like that, if you feel that I rig the BattleField Arcadia tournaments then I wouldn’t advice you to support it.
Due to some turn of events last night, I’m changing the tournament format to a 3v3 instead of a 2v2. I’m going to be forging Empire teams where they will be set with 2 Knights and 1 Valkyrie to help push the female gamer scene.
this just proved my point
I don’t even see what point you made. If “you” “feel” that I’m rigging a tournament then why would you support it? What are you looking for, me to defend myself and say that I’m not rigging it? What will that matter? in your mind you feel that I am, so no matter what the reality is, in your mind that is the reality. I’m trying to help you out. If you make up pocket realities of negative things then why would you support it. I’m just looking out for you.
Also on that note me changing the tournament to a 3v3 and putting Valkyries who are trying to learn the game comes off as a handicap for the Empire. Funny thing is…you still think that’s me rigging the tournaments. That’s laughable. What’s wrong scared to fight rookies or people trying to learn how to play the Game?
I tell you what… I’ll team up with…Arturo…and mmmmm…Brynhild. I don’t play the game competitively, and Brynhild just started to learn SF4. Thus the only player on the team that is good is Andre. So he’ll have to double anchor. I’ll put your team vs. us first round, live stream. How about that? Or…perhaps…you’ll create another excuse to run from a match with a bum, a girl and the most popular Bison in the nation.
…Sniff*… I smell… Sniff*… I smell… (censored)
Oh…and you thought I was going to team up with Sanford right? No Sissy here, my friend. So what do you say?
On a separate topic altogether, who ever brings a Halo 3 copy to the tournament tomorrow gets free entry to any 1 (ONE) tournament BattleField. This only applies to the first person I get the game from so don’t think just because you brought the game you get automatic entry. We have a problem with one of the copies.
im not going to support it,the tourny is a fix and thats all.ive been to a emp tourny before and the brackets were rigged and the rules didnt make any sences.“infinet rest” in a game based off of patterns?,putting your best guys on opposite sides of the brackets and they things never start on time…
seisouly and this goes for anyone i still say 2v2 tournies should be random select partners,this gives everyone a fair shot
Son…look, I’m not sure if you know…but when creating a bracket when you put players on the same team away from one another its called Seeded by teams. Damdai made tonomento to seed players based on Rank, and as far as the BattleField is concerned there are to many players in the Empire to seed away from each other. The best that I could do is make sure that EMP doesn’t face EMP first round. Funny that you mention that because when DMG or any other Clan, Group, Team, etc comes to BattleField and the request that they not be put together I accomodate appropriate seeding for them.
Also…good cop out on the challenge. 
Nearly slipped that one past me.
I took this from another thread that you post in and I thought I’d share my thoughts on this matter in public. I can’t speak for other team tournaments but I’m singling you out specifically because you’ve suggested that the Empire tournaments are rigged and I just feel like flaming you and putting some real stuff on the table at your expense for the community to get a clear understanding of what it really is. Here is where I disagree with you. In all the BattleField’s that I’ve run I seen 1 time that the Empire had “Stacked” teams such as Sanford, Andre and Rashaan. The last time I ran a BattleField Tournament I purposely “WEAKEN” the teams to give people a fair shot at winning. However this has two issue associated with this. Let’s go over these issues.
Empire Arcadia:
The Empire is not new to this community…it’s been here for quite some time and you have to keep in mind that as the CEO and Founder of the company I am always going to want my players and teams to win. However I unlike many others will not stack up teams and rig brackets to get the job done. Let’s go through the reasons WHY
-
FIRST AND FOREMOST! Cheating in any manner like that would look bad on the Company’s name, integrity and image. I worked to hard to get the Empire to this point to start rigging tournaments that I know my guys can win and spoiling the name.
-
Gamers will feel that they can not go to a Empire tournament without feeling that not only are the players good but then they are getting cheated, thus not making them want to come. Why would I care about this you ask? Because (yeah I started the sentence with because) without the players, casual, scrubs, semi pro and pro players there is no scene. No scene equals no growth, not entertainment, no passion…ultimately no $$$$
-
Hurting the name of the company with stupid moves like that makes it harder for the Empire to help support other communities and their games, hurting our personal mission statement which is to bring gaming back to its origins and then professionally in terms of us being a development company.
Community

Weakening the Empire teams at tournaments have a positive and negative affect that I’m carefully watching. I’m not sure if you notice but regardless of who we think are good are not, there are players in this community that are true “WARRIORS”. That sandbag crap doesn’t rock well with them. I’ll give you a prime example. When we unbanned Justin and he decided to play with Rose, some players rather Justin fight with his all against them than to play some powered down Justin Wong. Its called Warriors Pride. The money doesn’t mean anything to them. Its the respect. Thus I have to becareful of not “UNDER POWERING EMP TEAMS”
-
Under powering EMP teams not only hurts the Empire but it actually hurts the immediate scene. People want to win so badly that they will rather fight a under powered team just to get the W. That is a true shame, I have only this to say to those players…if the W means that much to you…that you would want to play someone that has pitty for you and sandbag, then you should really reconsider competing, UNLESS, you just do this solely for the passion and just want to compete and play just for the love of playing. However…if that is the case then what are you complaining about? You are playing…thus making that point mute. If you’re not going to come beat down or get beat down, then don’t come at all. This is the Empire State, there aren’t suppose to be any BITCH ASS GAMERS IN THIS STATE. EMPIRE OR NOT!

Making this interesting and bringing hype along with Drama is our job. Its apart of developing the scene, thus we do things like putting a player in the Empire that’s not good on a powered up team. Yes it does handicap the team but at the same time it doesn’t make it free either, giving gamers a chance to grow at a steady pace throughout the competition. In the next BattleField that I’m running we are introducing some Valkyries that want to get into fighting games seriously. StarSlay3r who is from Cali is here to test her mantel against some of the East Coast Finest. Give her no quarter, this isn’t some west coast bitch shit. (pop off, enjoy it don’t take it seriously or personally) We want he to get better to expand competitive gaming as one universal activity. Not something that lable’s us as Male gamers and Female Gamers. Thus in order for her to learn we got to get it in with her.
A female gamer from Chi town called Burnyourbra will be at BattleField Arcadia tomorrow and she is a Ken player. Not to mention 3 more Valkyries along with StarSlay3r; which is Persia, Brynhild and Rozemaiden all who are looking to learn the game seriously. They’re not here on some MLG pro hoe shit. They want to learn to play to Get it in with the boys, so its our obligation to put our shit to the side and teach them. Besides…Evo is coming up…we need some pro female gamers of our own to win it or at least come top 3 at the Ladies of SF4 tournament.
In that is why I’m putting them on power teams of the Empire to compete at BatteField. Its not to weaken the Empire but make things interesting.
Arturo transforms into Andre!
Arturo uses scissor kick! It’s super effective!
Anyway, TF, just to clarify, is the 3v3 for all the games or just SFIV?
Don’t forget guys. Battefield Arcadia special this afternoon hosted by FrameAdvantageDotCom.

Also, it will be 3v3. Not 2v2.
It’s not like they win just because they’re EMP. They win because they’re good players. Teams don’t give the tournament to them, it just lowers the chance that they’d be randomed out.
Yeah, idk people say these tournaments are rigged, but personally I can’t support that opinion since everything is in your own control. Of course there great players, but they do have to put in their own share of work as well. I think everyone is beatable, maybe some easier then others, but humans are humans, so if they have the ability to think, you also have the ability to OUT think them.
The 3v3 is just for SF4, to make up for those that missed out on Auto Demon’s tournament in China Town. All the other games are 2v2.
Thank you. Excuses are for those that can’t complete the mission.
Thank you for seeing things for what it is.
In any event here are the Empire teams for SF4
EMP Team 1 - (EMP) Sanford, (EMP) Jeron and (VOA) StarSlay3r
EMP Team 2 - (EMP) Andre, (EMP) Yipes and (VOA) Persia
EMP Team 3 - (EMP) Kreymore, (EMP) Arturo and (VOA) Brynhild
EMP Team 4 - (EMP) Dragon God, (EMP) Remedy and (VOA) Rozemaiden
I wish i had some extra cash because I’m actually in the mood to come out to this. I havent been able to make the last few BFA’s.
What team am i on again? nevermind i’m going to Jersey most likely
Sighs…Rahsaan, check your PM.
srry i didnt make it guys.
