Yeah we will basically have to go with the flow. If a ton of people show up maybe I will only enter 8 of them, because I want to keep the point system in place.
This is what they do in Fresno:
Only the Top 7 get points at all.
Hopefully I don’t drive up from Salem and booted.
Casuals are fun and everything, but I’d rather compete in the real thing instead of getting sandbagged by everyone.
to me the only “real thing” is evo, but i hear what your saying. i can only speak for myself when i say i play the same way in a tournament as i do in casuals, others might not and may indeed “sandbag” just for fun or a learning experience, which might make me rethink driving an hour(plus another on the way home) every week to attend.
but im sure if you played say Ray or Simon and gave them a good fight they’d be forced to play you on a competitive level, from which you may be able to benefit as much as you would in a tournament format. thats just my 2 cents though, im not the one driving up from Salem to play which is definitely some dedication. and id agree anyone going that far out of their way to attend should not be left out, im sure Jermoie feels similarly and wouldn’t leave you Salem guys hanging.
so i guess my only solid point is that you dont have to worry about me sandbagging lol, and that casuals are usually more fun then the 1 setup off to the side that was going on last Saturday. also on that note i wont be able to supply a 360 every week so anyone who requires that system dont rely on me to bring it, i will when i can but its not 100%.
Being one of the top players and because you travel so far, you are guaranteed a spot.
So I guess he just has to become a top player then.
oh damn ->
IMO thats total BS.
I’m not saying he should get booted if he shows up, but IMO, no one should be guaranteed a spot.
If you show up late to the tournament, then someone else shouldn’t get booted because you showed up late
Thats what I picked up from the post anyways
I have not been at my best lately.
I don’t think I’ll make it this week.
Last week I was tempted to pick dan and just do stupid shit I was so out of it.
To be honest my head’s not in the game, largely because starting last saturday I have been hella sick.
Hopefully when I get better I’ll be able to show up and bring something worth playing against.
@ panda
Whatever you consider me, you are obviously far below my skill level so I don’t think you have room to talk.
If I remember correctly, I P’d on you last Saturday in casuals.
@ Slash
I completely agree that if I show up late that I should have to sit out.
@Jeromie
One of the top players?! you are too kind!
I also was wondering what ever happened to all the people that signed up and still haven’t shown the past two weeks.
Maybe come up with a way to sort this out quickly as far as who shows up what weekends or continue to play it by ear.
As far as this Saturday goes, I don’t know if I am going to be able to make it out.
I’ll let you guys know when I know.
Lol @ shit talking in this thread.
Panda got r kelly’d ->
Panda’s red hair not only signifies that he has no soul, but it also shows that he is full of rage. Beware the wrath of Panda Ron.
You have been warned
I beat you two out of three games last Saturday, and then you left.
My money match offer still stands if you want to prove something.
You are not a top player.
top secret training…this is how top players do

Wow. IMO the BS here is that you assumed a bunch of shit from my post without bothering to verify any of it or even asking a question before posting this absurd comment about people getting booted.
Maybe you should think twice before posting about things you have “picked up” from posts without verifying them, it’ll save you and me both a lot of typing.
What you should have picked up if anything from my post is that i am willing to flex to accommodate the situation like any decent host would, and that certainly does not imply in any way that I would toss out a different player for someone better. In fact, this is pretty ridiculous to even reply to because what if it was MY spot I gave up to him, knowing he is a better player? Did that occur to you? Would that piss you off too or were you just worried about your precious self when you decided to call my words bullshit?
where did you even find that picture Simon? lolol
I am going to start at 4:00 every Saturday and if you’re not in by then or have at least let me know you’re coming then you will indeed sit out.
Don’t thank me for calling you one of the best players, I go by the rankings and matches we have had so far when I say who is good, so it’s not a compliment or my opinion, its the truth based on what has been shown here.
You, Ray, Simon, Alix all place high consistently and I am just going off that for my judgement of skill.
I have already decided to change the format as I posted before, show up and get bracketed that day, which is why people are now saying shit about being late and whatever. You just can’t please everyone, but as long as I keep this going at least I will be pleasing some people :]
The dedicated players will just show up and go with the flow rather than trying to theory craft the whole thing into something they feel comfortable with before ever even showing up. The forum posters are not the only people that participate in these sessions.
FRIDAY CASUALS:
I am not feeling well today but I don’t want to shut you guys out of casuals either, if we could keep it down to just a few people that’d be killer as I am feeling pretty crappy.
Damn Kurt really IS hungry… I can’t believe you had to sneak out and follow him at 3:00 A.M to get this picture…
