Edmonton Thread 2011

[odin]

Daaaamn. This thread is all about airing out dirty laundry.
Guess I will contribute.

Kevin: I never actually liked you since Jr.High, ever since you started using Red Skull in Overpower with that stupid Cosmic Cube special card. I really fucking hated that.

Calvin: I never actually liked you since that day at White Lady Rd. Where you sat in the car instead of coming with us. You would have been sober proof that we actually saw tire tracks leading into the woods on our way back.

Dalton: I never actually liked you since you picked Bison in every fucking game you play.

Mai: I never actually liked you since let me beat you at MvC2 once at HUB. Juggernaut. Never forget.

Nima: Nothing bad can be said of you.

Jones: I never actually liked you since the day you snuck in a flask of whiskey into CC and didn’t share with the rest of us.

Gordon: I never actually liked you since the day you made me throw up in my own house. You know why.

Jeff: I never actually liked you since the day you adopted A-Groove as your religion and refused to try anything else.

Rest of you: You are probably the nicest people that have ever played fighting games in this city. For real. The early 2000 group was a bunch of one legged old people, drunk indians, smelly flips, dirty turks, cheating polaks, fobs that stole NO SMOKING signs and others that dressed like Rambo, emo mixed genders, fat teachers that pointed their fingers at the monitors, bus drivers, Boston Pizza employees, horse-like halfers, turtlers that looked like Starvin Marvin, skinny Gordons, cabinet kicking nammers, angry Calgarians, homosexual buff Vancouverites, trench coat mafia members, Wolfy and Stever.

You are blessed with the current community and I truly truly mean that.

Also… MY VEGA BEAT YO GUILE! HEHEAHAHEHEHE

[DaltonL]

I just woke up.
Man fuck the Canucks.

[Wucifer]

Clearly you need time to wake up and come to your senses.

[DaltonL]

I did in 1994.

Jeff: I never actually liked you since the day you adopted A-Groove as your religion and refused to try anything else.

If I did, then I wouldn’t be known as Mini-bok. I am bokchoy’s clone after all. But since my father has abandoned me, I guess it’s OK for me to try new grooves.

Since 3S is my favourite game of all time, I’ve been using P-Groove a lot more recently. I use Paul’s team: P-Kyo/Sagat/R2-Cammy.

I use C sometimes but it’s probably my least used. C-Ken/Chun/R2-Sagat. I am very reluctant to use C because I cannot complete Chun’s Lv2 Cancel combo consistently.

A-Groove is still really fun though. I love abusing RC fireball with Sakura. If I had never gotten my hands on a PS2 copy of CvS2, I would have never learned how to RC. 2hrs of learning how to RC on pad and I was good to go.

I am not even going to get into this shit with you Jeff as I have mad attempts to ask you to come see me and you have not answerd my calls i do not speak with you because honestly all the shit MJ says that you sit there and say makes me think “fuck this guy” if anyone knows of this “Shiro makes all the money from tournaments” give Paul and ask him yourself damn self. WCC2 DID make some money which me and Paul used to by a camcorder a tripod a memory stick and he used some for gas. Alberta beat down did make some money, I gave Jay (black jay) $50.00 for his gas money, gave my cousin money to buy more food for his food stand thing. Gave Bob money for driving and hauling equipment gave Paul money for his gas. Gave Andrew money for coming and helping with running the store lending out his computer and 52 inch plasma for the entire weekend.

I also gave him Cindy jay, jays girl friend and a few others money to go and buy food from the concession. The other profits I gave some to Brandon the smash bros fellow for helping put money down and Offbeat for helping pay for the event and paid off paul. The damage deposit I pretty much lost because of toilets being plugged and the kitchen’s grill wasn’t properly cleaned and there was a stain on the carpet up stairs.

God, I can’t believe you. The only thing I read here is about you giving OTHER people money. What about ME?! :mad:

Losing the damage deposit is YOUR FAULT, NOT MINE. That is NO excuse not to pay me back.

Suuure made a ton of money that time. The 350 I LOST at that event was something I had foreseen.

So you knew that you were going to lose $350 and you went ahead and did it anyway?

Great logic you have there! :tup:

Do not pretend I never made attempts to contact you to pay you off, you have dodge my calls for a long time, the one time I talked toy ou was when MJ called you and handed me the phone, then you spoke a few words I tried to make attempts to meet up with you but you never returned my calls nor did you make any attempts to contact me.

Yeah, you tried to contact me but it wasn’t because of the money you owed me. It was because you wanted to know if I was going to your next tournament or not.

It was never about “Hey Jeff, I have some money that I can pay you back with. Come out to the next tournament and I’ll give it to you.”

Stop trying to twist the truth around.

You’re not one to say such things. Or are you a hypocrite?

[Wucifer]

How very non-patriotic you filthy traitor… you and bison can both go to hell

Sooo… Are you willing to pay Minibok back now?

[Shiro_420]

Shiro I don’t have any problem with you but there have been times you did things that really pissed me off.

1. Asking me to do a money match in Tekken 6, I declined saying I don’t know how to play the game, but then you offered me 2-1 odds so i took it. I won then you made it out like someone stole the money you had from your bag when we all know this wasn’t true as no one even approached your bag. Gordon and James were there to see this.

2. When you tried to put on ranbats and charged everyone one 2 bucks to play in it and you said you would use the money for prizes for the winners. I had the highest score but I didn’t get nothing. I didn’t really care though and never said anything because the amount of money wasn’t worth the big deal.

3. When i asked you if you made money off these tournys you said to me “Nah” then when we asked Mel he was like Shiro gets a cut of it, why would he do it if he didn’t?

4. One day at your crib you said you needed to talk to me so i said just ask me here in front of everyone. Your like nah come in the hall. So when i went out you offered me sponsor me for your tournys asking for a cut of the winnings I made. Why would i need a sponsor for tournaments that cost like 10 bucks to enter?

5. Chris went out of his way to get you a job at eastside marios and you fucked him over pretty bad the way you quit, he’s still choked about that.

I Just don’t see how its worth lying and trying to trick your friends over such meager amounts of money. Its things that you do like these that put you at odds with people.

I did pay you back for the money match. I honestly thought I had my money in my bag and it wasn’t there.

Okay this really needs to be cleared up. When I was hosting weekly tournaments at my HOME I mentioned that I would look into giving out a prize. I soon after lost my Job at Eastside Marios. So there was no way for me to give out any sort of prize, also we stopped playing at my place and began playing at Apoc.

The money collected was never pocketed, it was kept in a cash box and was only brought out to collect money, It was always in the trunk of Pauls car. If for some reason I mention something about giving a prize at apoc then I might have been puffing on a joint or some shit because I don’t remember that.

I’ve answerd the Mel thing. The only thing I can really add to it is, when I stopped hosting with him, we did not leave on good terms, we had a pretty heated falling out. Perhaps he stretched the truth I don’t know. But I have not made profits from tournamnets unless I played in them and placed top 3. Also when ever there was a tournament hosted at apoc or high tech or where ever, I did not ever handle the money as it came in.

At apoc the money came in and went directly into their cash register. The only time I was in contact with the money is when I was giving it to first second and third. Ray (the dude who was there for the tournaments giving me the money) took pics of everyone who won the tournaments for every game. I do not know how the roomer started of me digging into pots, but it simply isn’t possible if I am not handling the money.

To be honest I think I was just fucking stupid to ask you about sponsoring or being sponsored or any shit like that. Because in all honesty I had little to know understanding of what it ment to be a sponsor. I was exploring the idea of sponsoring a player and just sort of made a mess of it. After I spoke with you regarding it, I asked paul the same thing. He asked how it befitted him and I didn’t really know how. Still to this day I do not understand what it even means to be a sponsor of a player. I don’t see how the sponsor benefits from it.

I did not quit the job, I was fired. I was given a call saying I did not need to come into work because some bullshit thing and i was fired I don’t even know why I was fired I just know I did not quit. I think it might have been to do with me leaving early because when Cindy was using a baby strap thing to walk around the house with Vincent, the strap thing broke and she called me all histrionically and said she was going to the hospital and I needed to come. So I left. I think if you ask Chris about that incident he should recall it. I told Dan (my “boss” about it)

I have PM’d Jeff regarding the situation. I will deal with it myself. It is between me and him. Nuff said

[Deadsider]

Daaaamn. This thread is all about airing out dirty laundry.
Guess I will contribute.

Kevin: I never actually liked you since Jr.High, ever since you started using Red Skull in Overpower with that stupid Cosmic Cube special card. I really fucking hated that.

Fuck you for Cosmic Cubing too. I hate that card. A top tier player in my group had a deck that used Adam Warlock’s version of it plus Red Skull for trolling. Urg.

[bokchoy]

That game fucking sucks. Much like another marvel game I know.

[Deadsider]

Actually my ultimate trolling deck I was notorious for was Banshee, Black Cat, Leader and Brood. I’ll see if you remember well enough why. Here’s a hint, Power Leech Any Hero never left the deck.

[IntoTheRain]

I’ve pretty much talked to everyone who has been involved with this and there’s a lot of misconceptions between all parties and a lot of this could have been nipped in the bud if people just said what was on their minds at the time instead of keeping it in. This is pretty much everyone’s fault because we’re men and we keep things bottled up as men should but then we act like women when we got all pissy about whatever.

I’m going to try to clear up all these stupid misconceptions from both sides.

1. People talking behind Shiro’s back and talking poorly of his family situation. Misconceptions of Shiro.

As we’ve discussed Shiro, you have projected a negative impression on people with your words and actions in the past. Yes, if we were civil we could say these things to your face but we don’t because we don’t want to hurt your feelings, cause drama, create an awkward situation in the community, or quite frankly it’s not a big enough deal that it needs to be addressed directly to you. If it’s a minor mistake it gets poke fun of and then that’s about it. It’s not really talking shit about your back it’s a quick jab at something minor. It’s quickly forgotten by the people who made those comments.

That being said in past tournaments or casual gatherings where there were issues with how things have been run James has been one of the most forth coming people to tell you things in your face or on these boards. It does seem to me that you take some of those situations personal.

You’ve stated directly that you aren’t able to address the issues people have with you if you don’t know what you’ve done to cause it. This is exactly the state James is in right now so you have to at least see and understand that point-of-view. The other thing I want to bring up is that it seems like you are currently singling out James in all of this when it’s not just James who’s done this.

In regards to your family situation, Kevin has nailed it and you’ve addressed it so I won’t go any farther into that situation.

The misconceptions that people have of you Shiro is that you do give off the impression that you want to run the Edmonton gaming scene and that you were profiting off of tournament entrance fees. The reason we got this impression is that Mel from Hi-Tech gaming had told us specifically you were taking a part of the entrance fees and that it’s been working that way with other venues you worked with. This ticks people off because you’ve stated multiple times that everything in the pot is given back to the players and if that wasn’t the case it needed to be stated directly. Nobody would have an issue if you clearly stated a % goes towards certain things. If you don’t want to run every tournament then if you simply said “hey, I don’t want to tournies all the time is there anybody that wants to host one I can help out.” then at the very least that’s on the table and if nobody step up then they really can’t fault you when you’re the only one throwing tournaments. Not like we can fault you right now because nobody has stepped up to throw a tournament. lol

2. Vesper Arcade is a private group of people that hold secret gatherings and everyone involved are dick riders.

I don’t know who perpetuated this idea in the first place but this is completely false. The people involved with VA are people who’ve been helping Gordon way before he got any internet fame and actually brought something to the table. So no, they’re not riding on his coattails.

Gordon hasn’t hosted casuals at his place since the MM of Neo vs Clockwork. This is because he’s been focusing on his business and if anyone that is over his place it’s because they are helping him out with the business. Sometimes it just happened to coincide with Boston Pizza nights. Even then we’ve shown up to BP’s a good portion of the time because we enjoyed hanging out with the rest of the community and playing games.

VA is not a secret group that’s splitting the community it’s just a bunch of people helping Gordon out of interest and eventually some side money. lol The community wasn’t split to begin with but there’s a misconception that it is. The thing is the inner business workings are private and doesn’t need to be actively aired out to the rest of the community. This pretty much creates a perception to the community that there’s a private gathering for casuals when there isn’t. I suppose showing up to Marvel Madness with VesperArcade t-shirts didn’t help matters but those t-shirts were specially made to troll Calgary and to help promote VesperArcade. Except I don’t know why that clown Khoa got a VA t-shirt.

So after all this we’re in a situation where James feels like he’s getting isolated from the community because if anyone hosts casuals or tournies its now awkward for Shiro or James to be in the same room, which is kind of why people didn’t want to say shit in people’s face to begin with because butt hurt was going to ensue. Now other people in the community are put in an awkward situation of having to choose sides even though most people didn’t have an issue with either person. People new to the community are probably turned off by this drama. I’ve got people texting me saying fuck the scene if it’s going to be about this drama. This sucks because quite frankly I enjoyed hanging out with these people and I don’t need stupid drama to get in the way of playing games with the people I like. Seriously, we’re too fucking old for this shit and there shouldn’t be drama over something as minor as games. I can’t blame people not wanting to be apart of the community because if it’s going to be drama who needs it.

after reading all this, the things that came to my mind is vesper arcade is for dick riders and you guys need to stop playing fighting games and get gordon on the wii fit. oh yeah and never let killey on vesper arcade’s mic again, it’s as bad as listening to odin puking from gagging on toothpaste.

Hahahaha. Oh shit.

PS. Zac is an expert on all things that trigger Matt’s gag reflex.

[MixBlender]

Hey Shiro, remember that time you were lying about dating a girl in the city I actually knew, and when I brought it up, you denied and called me out?

Thats basically a metaphor for how to treat everything you say and do.

And the best part, is that you will hold on to a lie to things for so long that you convince people to defend you, and THEY look stupid because of you. This is why nobody trusts your tourneys, and why we suspect you of doing underhanded shit at tourneys. You are looking for personal gain at all times. And it was a matter of time before peoples patience ran out and you got called out.

Edit: intothedrain with a 2 sentance response to a 20x paragraph esse. And it worked.

nice fucking try buddy, but that was resolved i never said that shit to that girl or about her i dont know her dont give a fuck about her, so go ahead and keep thinking that that is how it is. i dont give a fuck about that bitch

[MixBlender]

that’s awfully shovanistic, calling a woman you never met a bitch. You complain about people ‘insulting’ your baby, a thing nobody here except a few might have met, and yet you will attack some other stranger without consideration for how much of an idiot and hypocrite you are.

and that wasn’t even my point! It was a bright and shiny example of how you lie, (attempt to) manipulate, and try to uphold this pie-in-the-sky moral compass and integrity I don’t think you ever had. You did stupid shit like cheat on your girlfriend while she was pregnant with your innocent child. Your character comes out as blatant as your defensive vocabulary.

[Shiro_420]

Nah I don’t think so, I have never once cheated on my girl NEVER, but I do not need to prove that you. Also I called her a bitch yeah it was not right sorry for that. But I never made that fucking post. I called my friend out on that, I posted the pic of him admitting to it and got a infraction for it.

[ChuckBartowski]

lol shovanistic

[fxcmyfob]

yo, so today i realized that odin is right about everything he says. not because of his long post, but because WWE all-stars is one of the most fun games ive played in a while. bret hart is the best.
