no wonder you never want to mm me.
how about this, besides the $10 mm we already confirmed, wanna do a 4/7 mm with me using ryu for $20?
I’d like to formally retract my previous posts. They were posted in rage mode.
I’m still a bit upset about the Free/Not Free situation but I shouldn’t have posted about it in such a way.
I’d also like to formally accept Vince’s pending apology.
No problem. The matter of the fact is that yes we did screw up before. However from the post you can see that we have clearly tried to make amends on such to move forward and take preventitive measures to ensure that such mishaps don’t happen again.
It’s hard when we trip and fall, people aren’t overly forgiving most of the time. We realize that and try our best to find the best resolution to the problem at hand and then move forward by ensuring that it doesn’t happen again.
Thanks for understanding.
double booked that sunday, so GG Christmas Countdown.
This is something I’m noticing with the fighter community in general. One screwup, and that’s it. The challenge is, this whole game center thing is still a learning industry. It’s not like there’s an established method of running something like this that works consistently while making money. I think that the amount of work that Pownz and RXS have put into building something that Southern Ontario can be proud of as a fighter community deserves a lot of recognition, and they should get a bit of leeway when they do screw up.
Yeah, they dropped the ball on that whole ordeal, but the way that Drekken tried to handle the situation was extremely professional and I think this whole mentality that has kind of existed that Pownz should be ditched because of this is really immature. I’m aware I’m probably going to get blasted for being the new guy talking smack about a somewhat established crew of players, but I think that the amount of work that has been put in for a community that basically shits all over their efforts is almost insulting.
I dunno, I wasn’t around back when arcades were “in their prime”, nor was I in an urban environment of any substance, and so the arcades that were in this area were kind of a joke, so maybe I’m just missing something, but the Pownz system is something completely different from those old days. I think it would make sense to be a little more patient while they work out the kinks.
This is all coming from a mostly outsider, so take what you want from this, but this is just a bit of observation I’ve picked up from my few months with the community.
Nagata Lock is SERIOUS
i think it’ll be worth the drive just to see nagata losing money
This is so true. Everyone is so fucking ready to point fingers. Fact of the matter is that, much like Nagata gave so much to the community, so do Vince and POWNZ. IMO, everyone who contributes on this level to the community (and there are seriously few people who do) should be praised and given the benefit of the doubt.
Personally, I know that both RXS, and particularly POWNZ, have made occassional screw ups before, and both have pissed me off at some point or other, but its innevitable that these times will happen whilst the organisers learn how to mutually beneift both the community and their own needs. Ive also been impressed, for the most part, about how POWNZ and Vince sort out any issues that arise.
Like Varleran, I havent been doing this shit for long, but looking back over the past 6 months, I wanna thank Vince and POWNZ for all the quality events that they have given us.
End of the day, we’ve had 6 months of quality tournaments and events for the price of… what?.. one or two screw-ups? That’s pretty fucking good IMO.
Hope everyone attends this event and enjoys the gift that POWNZ and Vince are giving for free… wow… seems like one day the community should give something back instead of just bitching at the peeps who make shit happen.
we should have 10 ( YES 10 ) stations set up.
the title fits.
playing at pownz is freeeee
i suggest a different console hidden in the back room so paul can display his magic on pad. as an attempt to shut other players up. and clear up the stick/pad myth
not gonna be there. Would be ideal if I were, but I’ll be several thousand miles away.
there is no myth mafacka… the legend is true.
To be honest people talk a lot, but everyone would still go to POWNZ if it just wasn’t so out of the way. The lack of attendance isn’t due to mistakes on POWNZ part, but the discovery of venues much more central to anyone.
And this is bringing a lot of drama in for nothing, but I think the biggest insult was finding out that Paul gets free entry into POWNZ for writing some random articles that 2 people read, while Nagata basically brought in the entire GTASF multiple times into POWNZ and got no credit in that sense.
If there was any reason for me to boycott POWNZ, that would be it. Chris (Drekken) has been nothing but polite and professional no matter how much his business got blasted, so he does have my respect for that. If POWNZ Sauga ever becomes a reality, i’m definitely going to be a regular.
This ^^
they need to incorporate a microwave/frozen food. pizza pockets /lean cuisine candy doesnt cut it. and losing out on the quick food income is likely an area easily covered.
i mean the electrical cost of a freezer is likely way less than an xbox haha
Ok, I have the best idea for Pownz.
Race wars. Pretty self explanatory. 3v3
Just an idea
