Tight.
Also guys, this tourney will be taking place using the TV in the other room, and will have prizes, so it’s $1 per person+donations (suggested only) going into the preppy fund, which currently stands at $42. :woot:
paul d’you mean like
Teammate A fights teammate A, then teammate B fights teammate B - if one team won one, the other won the other, teammate A and B on opposite teams fight each other for the tiebreaker?
Anyway, not that I’ll still be there/awake for it. I might not even go next time, considering I wake up at 6am on Fridays and we never start the god damned tourney until like midnight - it’s too much for me. Especially if these aren’t gonna be simultaneous. :razz:
for the mother fucking record, my ass is at Preppy’s at the 8 o’clock hour, last time i set up both sign up sheets for singles and team tourney, yet i still had to chase down people to sign up.
Mikados are generally ran in the following manner:
- each player sticks with the same character for the entire event
- no duplicate characters on the same team, but a team can have Old and Normal version of the same character
- randomly choose sides (only relevant for arcade cabs)
- blind team order*
- 1st player of first team plays 1st player of second team
- 2nd player of first team plays 2nd player of second team
- if the two teams split the first series, then the winners play each other to determine the final outcome
*for smaller events like these, having a pre-determined first and second player at the beginning of the tournament works fine.
I have never attended one of Airthrow’s benefit tournies, but I had presumed that things were held this way. If not, then someone needs to get slapped.
For teams >2, you use the elimination (aka Pokemon to the young folks) format. Generally, the teams have a captain, who goes first. When one of your players is eliminated, you have the option to present any of your remaining players as next in line. This is how it’s done at X-Mania and the like.
In summary: “yes.”
It doesn’t really matter when the organizer shows up, if a strict start time is not enforced.
I put all that down in case Paul was referring to some other aspect that didn’t adhere to the standard format. I’m not sure what specifically he wanted changed, since (as i had written above), I haven’t played in one of these benefit Mikado tournaments. I donated money the last time I was at Julien’s, but whenever I’ve showed up at Preppy’s this season, ST players be ducking me. They all just take off in fear. Sort of like how Pablo is scared of Kuenai.
I’m just poking fun. We did it elimination/pokemon/beyblade style. I don’t think anybody else has run any of the mikado’s but I could be wrong. I just remember Julian being like “Elias run the mikado yo!” couple gatherings ago and I was just like “nnngh” on the floor of the ST room 75% asleep.
If someone will bring the luchadore masks, I will take Pablo on, drunk or sober. If the dirty mex would quit duckin’ me and get over his “I’d feel bad fighting his twelve-year-old lookin’ ass” syndrome.
Is this guy serious? I have taken down 200+ pound dudes with quickness and I fear no man on the face of this earth. I grew up fighting minorities for fun. When you really think about it, everything I do or have ever accomplished is Hardbody to the fullest. This isn’t even shit talk, it’s fact.
I don’t tap and I don’t gas. This is real life.
That being said, I do not know what Keith is trying to get at with me. This reminds me of middle school where one of my homies would tell me whenever someone talked shit about me and I would fight them that same day. I didn’t need a good reason, I would just do it for the hell of it. So Keith, stop. I have outgrown such sillyness.
We should just stick to ST.
He meant take you on in ST, I’m pretty sure. I don’t think Jamie picks real fights.
I think you misunderstand. There is no false representation going on. I’m not talking up each side, instigating bad blood. I don’t think Kuenai is talking shit to you. This is merely an exhibition of sorts, where both parties would enter willingly. I don’t think he’s looking to hurt you, or duel to the death. Just some man-on-man grab fest. Kinda gay, but so is all wrestling to a degree. Let’s fight, like gentlemen. And because you’ve put off addressing this for so long, it did look like you were hesitant to enter Thunderdome.
Actually, Kuenai offered to wear a luchador mask and 'rassel Pablo, if Pablo agreed to wear his Ray Mysterio mask. So it’s not about ST. But it’s also not a real fight.
This was last fall. Ever since then, Pablo’s been quick to leave the room whenever Jamie walked in.
Man that mask cost me $60, no way I am fucking that up. ITS MADE OF LYCRA!
Don’t worry, wrestling’s all staged. Ya mark!
It may be staged, but the emotions are REAL.
Goddamn I need to stop posting so much and do some work.
I’m just saying, your mask won’t be harmed. Your ego, on the other hand. . . . Just man up and face the 12 year old. What would Jesus, nay, what would Ray Mysterio do?
Yeah Keith’s explanation is correct and we will be predetermining players A and B through a coin toss.
By that you mean, random teams?
What’s lycra?
It’s a stretchy material used by superhero wannabes to make colorful outfits to satisfy their homo-erotic fetishes. Many women with big hair wore workout tights made of that material in the 80’s. Think spandex.
Edit: I just realized that what I wrote above might’ve been misconstrued by Pablo as a backhanded insult, but it’s not. The stuff really is used by lots of gay guys when cosplaying. At large anime conventions, women cosplay in intricate lacy outfits, and gay guys wear lots of lycra. I always showed up in jeans and a t-shirt, or business formal if there was some evening function.
Edit2: Some women do cosplay in tights as well. But it’s usually the scary looking ones.
it’s true we <3 lycra and all similar tight materials for some reason
