if you have to pay your friends to bring things, they must be shitty friends I am sorry to say.
again you should concentrate on being more involved in the community instead of making money of them.
If you ask the people of SRK to bring stuff they usually will. I know I did and everyone was gracious enough to donate things for us to use.
In my honest opinion is doesn’t sound like you know how to run tourneys. I mean running brackets for 16 teams is not that big of a deal, you make sound like it was a lot harder than it should be.
that still doesnt make any sense to me…why would anyone charge u 10-20 bucks to help or let u borrow their xbox? WTF? and 20 bucks went into ur pocket but i thought u said u make 2000 dollars a month? So why u sweatin it?
still doesnt make sense to me and u shouldve been upfront with the charges when people had asked u over n over n over wat u paid and to whom instead of waiting for Choi to tell u dat he would put u on the ’ Tourny Promoters to Avoid 'Thread
Edit: just noticing u paid 6 people for 3 set ups?
Someone will be calling Mauricio to verify the $50 room charge.
Can anybody confirm if the 6 people’s names he mentions indeed got paid?
Also note that you claim the venue fee did not cover this amount but you made $5 per person in a 3 man team. So you made $15 per team x 16 teams = $240
$50 - “room”
$15 - beef
$20- bryan
$50 - adrian
$20 - rudy
$20 - jeff
$10 - rich
$10 Tyram and arman
All the supposed costs to other parties only add up to $195. I did not count the supposed $50 you threw into the air as I don’t consider that an ‘expense.’ Even if it was an expense, then the venue fees covered it pretty much exactly.
So I don’t understand your statement about venue fees not covering costs.
Can beef, bryan, adrian, rudy, jeff, rich, tyram, or arman confirm they got paid? That’s a lot of people to be paying for setups when there was only 3.
One post he has the room for free, the next he doesnt, the next he does, now he doesn’t. I’m dizzy just thinking about it. More Flip Flops than Rainbow. I’m done with this shit - it isn’t about the money it’s about being a liar and being dishonest.
One post he makes no money off this, the next he does. Where does this guy tell the honest truth?
edit: Hey John I’m not sure if the singles tournament went down too but you are forgetting to account for the $5 venue fee per person in that tournament too (if it in fact went down).
If I were you Blanka I would not show up at the next tournament.
It is clear that you were being shady from the start. People asked you specifically about the money issues. Not until Choi showed up you decided to cough up the information. You are shady, I tried to warn you guys about Blanka stealing monies from tournaments.
Like I said from the beginning, he steals monies from tournaments.
You are lucky I did not enter or else I would have taken my money back with brute force.
I think this deserves to be referred to Bisonopolis and the “Tournament Promoters and Venues to Avoid.”
The fact that he’s still dodging questions and not giving straight answers should already show that. The inconsistencies are astounding. If you’re making $2000 a month brushing your teeth/sleeping, why are you sweating $20.00 gas money?
Even if you get a straight answer out of him, do you really want to do this all over again? It’s ridiculous.
It needs to be dealt with and dealt with swiftly. Things like this have a lasting impact on the players and the “community.” It is not as simple as “don’t go to Blanka707’s tourneys” - it is events like this that make it harder for promising tournament organizers to start and run successful tournaments, and harder for players to trust SRK members/nonmembers and organizers.
I think we have enough cause to put him on the list.
Blanka707, that’s a bit weird though, those are all guys from your town/gaming community such as Armon, Rudy, Beef and I could have sworn they were your friends too since we played at that dollar tournament a long time ago when you and the other guys came over to Davis for a ranbat. Why would you need to pay your friends $15+ for a $13 tournament that costed less than that just for borrowing gaming peripherals for one night?
And this isn’t an attack on your character or w/e and I don’t have problems with you (I’ve only been to one of your tournaments compared to the other guys like the bay area crew or thxyoutoo), it’s just a bit…odd.
iirc I believe there were 15 teams so only $225. I received the $20 from blanka707 for bringing a labtop, 2 360s, and a tv. One of the 360s I brought rrod when we got there but whatever shit happens. I got a ride home with Beef and he told me that he got his $15. I dunno about the others.
He just straight up gave it to me. I offered to decline it but he was like “naw dude its for helping out.”
Naw hes just really bad at communicating in writing
I’m guessing he just wanted to reimburse people that helped him with equipment cuz he’s borrowing shit that isn’t his. I dunno the real reason but that’s just my guess.
Blanka707, I am at blk_brotha’s house and he told me that he didn’t get any money from you last night nor is he expecting to get any from you as far as he knows.
Blk_brotha is Ahrmon btw!
no, I got my $5 from Beef last night, not Blanka707.
I was only asked by Blanka707 to unlock a few characters on the laggy set up he said he could throw me like $5 for helping out. when I finally got the $5 though Blanka asked beef to spot him the $5 to give to me and blanka would get it back to beef later.
so you could say that I got paid $5 from beef and not from Blanka707
Dont fuck with THXYOUTOO
