I posted the information as simple as I could and my only intention is to help my friend Charles organize this small tournament. It isn’t a scheme to steal money from anyone, I’ll even fight as Dan at the torunament to give everyone a fighting chance, all I care about is having a good time I don’t care about winning. So like the man says, let us know if your showing up before 5 thanks.
did you not realize that people could very easily take that as an insult?
Please leave.
I AM INSULTED RIK, fuck your tournament.
Thanks Charles (?) for shedding some light on the situation. This would’ve been a lot easier if Ric was willing to tell us this information earlier.
As for the $300 for the venue cost, there’s no way that’s being covered if there are only 10 people showing up and I’d hate to see money coming out of your pocket just to play some games, which also means that a pot is non existent. If the max of 25 show up, half of the entry fees goes towards the venue and the remaining half is split amongst 6 different placements, just considering MvC and SF4. Again, I wouldn’t want to see money come out of your pocket just to meet the pots.
As for your deadline of 5 P.M., I imagine that you’re not going to get the responses within the next hour. Again, thanks for the heads up Ric.
Your best chances now are probably just setting something up at someone’s place or even rent a hotel room. I would be willing to bring a monitor and my XBOX for one setup and I’m sure there would be others.
I find it a lot easier just to ignore stupid statements that Ric makes.
I said that just to prove to people I’m not in this for the money, if people are worried I’m suggesting a big pot just so I can roll them in SF4 then there idiots. Ill play as dan just so people can have a chance just to show I’m only in this to have a good time and not to take anyones money.
With that said, I’m supporting charles in whatever choice he decides to make but personally I would like Hi-Tech tournament. If it doesn’t work out, we will just host a tournament at the education building with our own set-up…its simple really.
Alright the Hi-Tech tournament is off due to the lack of interest and support. Instead were doing a tournament at the education building with our own set-ups. We will be doing SF4 and MVC3 with a 10$ entry fee. It will be single competition only and double elimination. It will be next friday starting at 5pm, its also 360 only. Let us if your showing up.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a positive thing that you guys are trying to get a tourney going, regardless of size, just for the fun of it. Especially since you are willing to cover costs up front, so kudos for that.
However, my point is more or less that prior to you posting, all this was coming from Ric. This is someone that does not present ideas in a fashion that anyone actually understands. This is also someone that in the recent past was basically shitting on another small local tourney being held in an apartment, and knocking it for lack of comp, size and prize pot.
So when someone like this, bad rep or not, has been hyping random tournament ideas (which have more or less been dreams up to this point) for the last year and a half, hypes this one up and doesn’t give any details as to even what day it will be on, until a week prior. Well, that alone shows why even the local players aren’t exactly hyped to show up.
So knowing that Jayson was organizing a tournament, Ric intentionally created another one.
Do you even know anyone who has access to this building? Afterall, it is a statutory holiday and all of campus is closed.
Aright first off Merlin your a complete contradiction,it wasn’t that long ago that you told me how Sask just needs to stop the drama and play the games and thats exactly what I did in my previous post. I posted the tournament info, date,its location,entry fee,games featured,prizes and estimated time of completion and simply asked who will be coming and asked for some community feedback. Its not that difficult to understand and it wasnt a complicated post. Howerver people decided to make it complicated because some people here are just idiots who love to waste time.
It was a simple video game tournament that has nothing to do with any past remarks I made on the community or anything thats happened up to this point. Therefore bringing in any of this “drama” is a waste of time because nobody cares…because in the end of the day it has nothing to do with the games. Im not sorry or regret anything, but even if I was this isnt the time or place for it becaue this tournament charles and me wanted to do has nothing to do with the local community drama.
As for the late announcment, me or charles cant help when bob or the hi-tech staff decide to finalize things. Charles is a very busy guy just like me and the hi-tech staff so it isnt always easy to get a hold of each other. The hi-tech staff literally let us both know only a day or 2 ago that they approved the idea so bottomline…the timing was beyond our control.
Anyhow the whole point of this tournament was just to play the games and have a good time. I was helping out a friend from outta town and just trying to plan a fun event with him. I wasnt asking peoples personal opinion about me or the tournament but instead just asking if they will show up or have any suggestions…obviously even that is too much to ask. Regardless, were still throwing the tournament and if people wanna show there more then weclomed to. If they dont it isnt gonna ruin our time because were still gonna have a awesome weekend either way.
Chao:Im looking into it,in the mean time does anyone have any suggestions on a possible venue for the tournament?
Evan: Me and jayson both are planning that tournament.
You sound mad cause you got exposed.
All I’m hearin is a buncha excuses.
No one wants to pay 25 bucks just to have some poorly planned “fun”.
Thanks tho.
All I got to say is games will be played. Be part of it, or don’t. Your choice. It’s a chance (maybe some ppl’s last) before Evo to see how we stack up against local talent. Evo is no joke. This will be my 3rd year, and I’ve been destroyed ever time previous. We get better playing, not nit-picking about shit. I’ll going to be putting it down next weekend, no matter where it happens. I hope you all will try as well.
Much respect to the local scene, and thx for the opportunity.
PEACe.
Merlin: Exposed over what exactly…that I was trying to help a friend for a tournament that’s venue owners confirmed last minute lol.
Anyways charles your right, next weekend will be a blast and if anyone wants to join they are more then welcomed to.
Meetup at my place next Saturday. Or whenever this tournament is.
As much as I think there were many problems with this tournament, this is just a dick move.
Also, regarding tournament. As Chao said, education building might not work out. Easter weekend, finals, etc.
If you guys want to cram into our apartment, we could have a MvC3/SSFIV tourney here on that day. Saturday or Sunday would be ok. $10 buy in per game, 60/30/10 split, whatever whatever. Ric and Charles would be welcome to come. Regina, also invited. So if people are interested, say so and we will post an event on TTF in the next day or two.
Some would have to bring consoles and monitors. We have one xbox setup and we would need at least 2 more if people from Regina and/or Calgary are coming. I would want some confirmation of someone bringing some equipment so we wouldn’t end up having a tourney on one station. XBOX for tourney but we could run some games on the PS3 as well for casuals or whatever if you want.
I’m not trying to steal your thunder or whatever, just offering a venue.
I would be down for a tournament at Dustin and Allison’s. Saturday would work best for me as I will be moving to Moose Jaw on Sunday. I can bring a monitor and my xbox.
Well, it wouldn’t be fun without Chao! So, Saturday then. I’ll look for interest tomorrow and see what the original planners think and then post an event if it’s cool with people.
I may not actually be here on Sat, but it’s not a problem and Dustin says it’s all good.
