I re-posted this in here as well as the HNL thread

Neko X- man i tell ya holding these tournies/ organization is a tuff tuff “business” I’m glad you guys are hanging on as long as you have. As far as why the “number” of players are not showing up to these events… … beats the hell out of me. I guess maybe hawaii just doesn’t have the crowd for these events or somehow the players seriously need motivation to come to the events. It must be one or the other. I think players keep going to broke azz HB’s just cuz its a relaxed out place to hang. Anyhow something has to be changed otherwise the same results will keep yielding.

and about HVGL posting in different threads to spread the word, I don’t see a problem with that. The only thing i can think of is just try not to “over kill” HVGL’s presence in other threads non HVGL related. I’m fine with you guys repping, but apparently some are not. I’m not a moderator, just speaking my two diddly cents.

Maybe if you want, we can meet up or talk to see what changes can be made to further improve HVGL to get those attendees and improve things overall. I know that HVGL has its goals and things to achieve, but what those goals are … … well i’m not quite clear on that at this time. From the gamers perspective, I know for damn sure they just wanna have fun, good competition, little drama rama, all in a suitable enviroment.

stepping back and looking at everything, all the ingredients are present for HVGL to be awesome and the gamers to have mad fun, just gotta find away to somehow “put it all” together. Its like have a dope car but the spectacular engine and tranny are not inside of the car. This analogy is how i personally feel HVGL is at this moment

anyways good luck, and hit me up

Maybe i should post this here…
