wow you are dumb, you dont deserve to place well ever again
So you don’t want to go cuz you’re afraid of not comming top 10?
Is that your fucking reason to screw over everyone in dice’s ride? Its just as bad as pulling out cuz another player can’t go.
Those additional “reasons” you’re added are bullshit as well. You knew all that crap for months before the tourny and now a week before you’re pulling out?.
Thats pretty lame
Last night I was 1/2 drunk and pretty pissed off with Samir’s post. I started on this rant and then gave it up and went to bed. I won’t make this too long (hopefully).
Samir; It’s obvious your primary reason for not attending is that you don’t want to put in the long drive to attend a tournament you won’t place well in. While I’m sure we can all appreciate the perspective, it’s the wrong group to try to rationalize that to. With the exception of a scant few of us, the rest have absolutely no chance in placing in the money (top 10 isn’t really an issue for the majority of us). We don’t go on long drives to crowded arcades/halls going “I’m going to win $$$,” we go because it’s a different environment that what we’re used to. We go as a learning experience. We go to meet new people and in some cases see old friends we’d never see otherwise. High placement, while important to all of us, is way down on the priority list. We could all stay home and run over local competition and feel good about ourselves all the time but we’d never get better and in the case of a tourney like EVO East, we’d never get to truly see what kind of competition is out there.
Now for the other issue…
You’ve left your group hanging with four days left to figure out a new plan. Your attendance doesn’t jump impact yourself. You have an adverse effect on the people you would have been riding with. I understand you’re financially well off but the rest of your car run on limited discretionary income. They depend on the most split cost so they don’t end up paying that much more for car rental/gas/hotel costs. Your commitment and then dropping out is like saying “hey guys, I just added $50 onto your weekend just because I felt like it.” If you told someone that, how do you think they’d react?
I’d encourage you to reconsider. Your not coming has nothing to do with me, I have a locked up van and a group I know is dedicated to attending the tournament. I don’t like to see people I consider friends screwed over at the last minute with empty reasoning behind it though. If you threw your name in the hat and had no real reason to pull it out, then gut through the tournament if not for your own enjoyment (and it will be a great time) then for the sake of the people you said you’d ride with to begin with.
weak
I almost wanna reconsider going now that we cant use samir as our puppet in money gambles :looney:
DICE: GET ME THE DETAILS SO I CAN DECIDE IF IM GONNA GO.
add me on msn right away or get a hold of Quan, Ill be glad to get u in the Car
its funny how js and other people get a secured seat in justins car when i asked him time ago… i just dont see why you guys dont trust me? do you honestly think im gonna rip u off or something?
Whoa whoa whoa… don’t warp it Roger. I told everyone that they had to register before I took them on.
-
The two GG guys registered and lost their money when they pulled out.
-
I paid Stephen’s entry only AFTER I knew that the two GG guys were registered and that he’d have a team and he’s paying me when I see him Friday.
-
AdamB, Antoine, and Gerjay all registered themselves.
-
Jiggabry went through his mom right before early bird deadline. If he didn’t I’d have left him at home and he knows it.
-
The only reason I took care of Eric is because at the time we were one short and he went out of the way to change his work schedule to make it.
AAAAAAND…
That’s a post from me to you dated April 23rd. I’m not hard to find, I’m literally online 24/7 between home and work. All you had to do was make the smallest effort and I’d have bent my own rules to make sure you were covered. I don’t know how much more I can do for you short of chasing you down to spend my own money.
I didnt warp shit, in reality I could have registered at anytime and all I asked for was a guarenteed seat. Its cool now that I know you stressed taht whole preregistering stuff so hard. So what if the lord preregistered before everyone else would u have even considered taking him?
okay…it seems that i am getting greedy…i change my mind…Dice, Quan, and whoever commented on me…tell me what to do…
Justin, thanks for making me understand that idea about getting experience (learning) and winning…
Okay now that Samir is back onboard, we now have 5 people:
-Me
-Dice
-Samir
-Shaun
-Roger
Since Samir said he dropped befgore, we decided fuck it, we’ll take my car. Dice cancelled the van reservation already, so now we are full again.
Matt has also expressed his itnerest in going, i will again speak to Dice, see what he can do about the van again. We are full ATM, Matt if your serious and 100% about going let me know by tmrw or else i’m just going to close off the possibility of getting a van.
Planning this trip has been a bitch… And i give MADDD props to Nagata for doing it multiple times every year.
EDIT: ROGER CALL ME ASAP, i need to confirm some shit with you.
hmmm well if matt wants to come we would need another person as well to fill a van… maybe if the lord actually has cash he would be a good option…
Nagata - u know I just fuck around with you bro I know u do whatever you can to accomodate everyone and support the scene just as I have over the years with rides and stuff :wgrin:
Alright my Nagata Lock II account is in limbo right now because of some disagreements with administration. Good thing I had this account cleared with the mods last year in case I ever needed it.
Stephen; I need to know what time you’re coming with the Toronto guys on Thursday night/Friday morning.
Bry & Gerjay; I finish work at 10:00pm on Thursday. I need you two to figure out a way here around then.
Screw you.
Get Hype
Figures… just as I get settled into my new account my wacko ban is lifted.
Meh dont worry about the Van. I wanna go but I cant. I have to look after my dogs for the next 2 weeks and I dont wanna leave them with anyone really.
I dont see y u guys dont wana take me, I have cash, I wana go, I dont seem to have any problems with anyone going, even if there are stories people have heard, wut is actually so bad with these stories that prevent me from going to evo, have I done anything to anyone who is going, I went to mat y cant I go to evo, did I some how jeopardise that trip, did we all not have fun at mat, all I wana do is play marvel and u guys have to judge me by random posts on a forum, if u were to do that to everyone then no one would be going on this trip, to me it seems like u guys are making this a popularity contest and u all like to c me get screwed over.
Well I dont think theyre renting a van anymore cause im not going so its kinda pointless. I wouldnt even try to get answers outta them if I were you.
If they have a good reason or not, I dont think you’re gonna change their minds, just ball out and we’ll smoke an ounce to our lids.
Angelic Diablo?
