I’ll get things underway for a TUESDAY gathering. PM me to get the address. Someone needs to bring at least another 360 setup or we’re all going to be huddled around one 360 and one PS2.
Last word on the whole thing:

Syxx, I’m glad you aren’t risking anything when you promote a tourney. If I were an unbacked promoter I’d be in the same boat. Fortunately we’ve got a backer who’s willing to pony up money for YOUR SCENE. Why would you shit on a person for doing that? Pretty low brow. In 2 years we’ve went from tiny tournaments in the side room of our store to an 18,000 sq. ft. venue with sponsorships. Promotion costs money… Scene growth costs money. New blood is a good thing right? It’s not like we’re writing out checks to ourselves after all is said and done… Call us idiots if you wish… We ARE losing money on these things; you could also call us a benevolent organization just doing it cause we’d like to see some good ol’ rivalry… MN vs. WI. We’re your cool rich uncle. Here’s your pellet gun.
If people car pooled to LAX it would cost 5-6 dollars a person to show up. So that’s not a real issue.
The tracks event cost you “like nothing” to put on, so postponing would cost “like nothing”.
I think the only reason Milwaukee isn’t showing up is because they’re scared of Minnesota. Real talk.
Look… Do whatever you want on the 24th… I’m so over trying to figure out why you’re such isolationists… but you can’t paint us out to be the bad guys.
Why is there so much drama on SRK? We’re all playing video games.
The only reason people don’t like you guys is because you keep taunting Milwaukee into coming to your tournament. Also I find it amusing that you keep talking about how much money you are spending. The Milwaukee scene grew three times within the past year and I sure the fuck don’t remember spending any money.
Also there is no reason to postpone the tournament. One of the main reasons why that particular date was selected is because Soloist and Footmeetsskull are not a business. They are doing this in their free time. And that was the best day available to them. To postpone a tournament because one nearly 3 hours away is on the same day is absolutely rediculous. Hardly anyone from Milwaukee has even bothered to go down to the northern Chicago suburbs, which is closer, outside of MWC. So why in the mother fuck would they travel to play people from a relatively strong scene when if they were to travel not quite as far to play players who are even better.
Regardless if you are trying to run some sort of mini-major, as opposed to a local, which is what the Tracks tournament is, and you are trying to get people from multiple scenes to come, you should have checked with the people who regularly run tournaments in your region to see if there was any potential conflict well in advance before supposedly dropping a grand on advertising, yet only add 100 dollars to the pot… seriously?
I think the reason why you guys are perceived as a joke still in this thread is because of the smooth focker bullshit from your tournament last year.
I’m sure the event will be fine but face it, if you are trying to convice people to show up you are absolutely going about it the wrong way, but that’s to be expected by a non-player who only posts when he’s trying to get people to come to his tournament, rather than engaging in normal conversation with people who live in his region.
Regarding some sort of rivalry you are trying to conjure up between MN and WI… sorry, but you of all people are not the one to do this.
TL;DR ver you guys are far as fuck from Milwaukee. A couple people are still going so relax.
REAL TALK I may have started the tourney thread a week after you started yours. It was stated in here waaaaaaay before you even started your thread that I was going to hold it on the 24th. I don’t know why your’e so salty about this. As far as this whole WI MN rivalry you are trying to capitalize on why didn’t they approach us at MWC? A large portion of us were there. If they really wanted to play us so bad they could have then. For someone that spent a shit load of money on a tourney I’d think you’d have a little more business sense than how you are coming off on here. I think it’s great there is a scene building in my hometown. I even stated to you on the phone I wanted to support. I’m flattered at the fact tho that you think Milwaukee not showing up will “ruin” your tourney. I’ve talked with some friends back home that were planning on coming to your tourney and they even said “Why is this gaming gen guy posting like a d bag”? COEXIST OR GTFO that is all.
The idea of some video game rivalry to me is so stupid. Minnesota has beef with Milwaukee? I’m not so sure I can understand this, especially with the internet figuring so heavily in the gaming community now. They can play anytime against each other.
Maybe these guys from Minnesota have ideas of the Milwaukee guys driving back home, defeated, with tears in their eyes. I don’t think that would happen. That seems like how they think. That wouldn’t happen, they would give a good fight, and even in loss they would probably drive home and stop at that chubby strip club place I see billboards for and look at women’s breasts, and toast beers celebrating their battles, win or lose.
I just can’t understand this internet taunting business, it makes everyone involved in the arguments look so weak. That kind of judgement is covered in dust. It’s time for spring cleaning I think.
sorry for posting twice Syxx, I don’t mean to litter your thread.
its ok… you can actually delete posts. just go to edit post, click delete, and it’ll ask you if you are sure if y ouwant to delete. this site is msesed up and it causes people to double post often
whoa and i stay away from Wisconsin thread because of this bs … last time i try to tell people about tournaments on this thread. Its for everyone, take me as a joke? Gaming gen paid out, tournaments happened, more are coming and you say Bullshit. relatively new to WISONSIN THREAD YEAH but thanks for the warm welcome jackass. Isnt SRk welcoming new ppl? so when someone is new you take them as a joke? arent you the one flaming Hmong folks in the last couple last tournaments? real winner here ladies and gentlemen .
Yeah Syxx is so racist he plays with Hmong people damn near every week. Miss me with that BS.
Uh…is the Wisconsin scene usually split like this or did I happen to become active on the boards at just the right time?
Soooooooooooooooooooo yeah! I won two matches at EVO with a broken controller. Quite embarassing, hilarious, and frustrating all at the same time. LOL!!!
if someone makes a dumbass comment about your race you would think something about him. It wasnt saying “watch out some dude might steal your copy of the game” but it was “watch out some hmong dude might steal your copy of the game”
Naw your’e just fortunate to be around when all the dumb people decide to post.
As far as that comment went I know all about the situation big deal. I’m sure if some INSERT RACE HERE broke into your house or stole from you that you’d harbor a certain level of animosity towards said race. SRW Pyrit is Puerto Rican and I didn’t know they had license plates. Does that make me a racist too?
Really dude! This is your reasoning for racisim. LOL!!! LOL!!! HAHAHAALALLALALMOA!!!
Take it as you want i was offended on his remarks in the past. Making another remark and being a joke when you try to help out the wisconsin scene all im saying is if your gonna put race in it better have a fucking good reason. cant just say shit and think that we know you so its cool to say it.
Dumb ppl footmeetskull? really did i make racial comments to anyone? Did i Say anything that isnt true about anything in the past here? im saying not everyone knows each another like that.
Its about respect!
It feels too much like the internet in here.
Foot, maybe we DO have license plates. That still won’t keep us from stealing 'em. LOL
Whatever man that was Syxx’s deal. If you’re going to be all up in arms over it than fine that’s on you. I really don’t even see how that’s related to all the shit talk you and your associates are instigating.
Respect huh? I want you to go back a few pages and read the insulting remarks your friends at Gaming Gen made towards the MAJORITY of players in this state.
smooth focker, sorry if you took what i said in the past as racist
I came here with an open mind and respect to everyone. Giving people an option and asking if anyone wanted to come to events in the LaCrosse area, but when you do you just get flamed about it. im not saying by everyone but its a level of respect and willing to look into it. im just here to inform you about upcoming events and suggestions in the past.
