Do you actually think people give half a fuck about what you say? Stop deluding yourself. Your immaturity astounds me.
You're can't even contain your immaturity to online.  Case in point was when MEWCON was when found Tofu to be more credible to run their tournament, so you got him back by having Kevin run S-Con.  And the only reason you run tournaments is to stay in the spotlight because you suck at games. What a little bitch

Where/What the fark is Paradise? Never heard of it.


By now I'm sure Gerrack thinks we're all just a bunch of dicks with nothing better to do than yell at him. I've been following this thread since the first page and I'm not exactly sure why everyone seems to be giving him such flak. The guy is trying something new and I don't think he deserves to get attacked so harshly for it.


But anywho, I doubt I'll be able to make it to ACME this weekend, I have a friend visiting from out of town. Also, it's awesome how active this forum has gotten in the last week and I hope to meet some of you soon in person. You can't miss me, I'm a 6'7" player...that should be enough to identify me from anyone else in the crowd.

Technically, he's not from Seattle.  That would explain that.  Actually same for you, so that would explain all of it.

That's true. You do speak your mind. As do I, generally. Most of Seattle, though, is not like that, so forgive me for forgetting!

Wait, hold on a second.

You realize most of the work from organizing a tournament is doing the work AT THE GODDAMN tournament? You're an idiot.

Anybody on these forums can help publicize a tournament. Every one of the countless amount of events not at SakuraCon that I've run have worn me out the day after (The ones I ran at SakuraCon, I was dead tired for DAYS after...). It's a ton of work. If you're not going to bother doing the leg work the whole way, don't bother doing the work.

And if you ever talk to me in person, I will not be sweet to you. I will be honest. Ask anybody here.

Yeah, that's satisfactory for sure! We just wanted to make sure you're not taking on too much.

As a sidenote to everyone else: I just got preliminary approval from Bill to run a slightly modified Extreme tournament at Paradise earlier (very late June, early July) this summer, so the lower level players don't have to feel left out! I'm still flushing out details but I'll post a ruleset soon.  Hopefully this will take some of the pressure off the hardcore ITG crowd to cater to those players. (Also, I know that Paradise is far, so if anyone wants a ride, I'll be happy to oblige).

Good. That's the way I am too. Online-speak tends to make people out to be a little different than they are irl; I'm pretty sure most people here are pretty cool, and I look forward to meeting some more of you

Half the reason I'm organizing it myself is because I don't ever see other tournaments played. Especially not for full difficulty ITG2. Since I do intend to enter, and the general sentiment (and common sense) is that running and playing at the same time would be bad form and a pain in the ass for me and everyone else, it will be a likelyhood that my actual involvement will be mostly limited to organizing and publicizing, and I will leave the running of it to the experienced pros. All I want is to play, really. And to make sure everyone has a good time and doesn't leave feeling gipped. Hope that's satisfactory

NEXT TIME, SUKO... I'll get you next time...

Gerrak:

1. I think you're going to be amused on Saturday because all of these Seattle people who are trolling you are going to be super saccharine sweet polite; that's what we do here. Probably approach the community on Saturday with that in mind.

2. I'm saying this NOT to be a dick, but you REALLY don't want to run a tournament you're entering. Not only is it typically considered bad form (most admins who enter their own tournaments do it because turnout is too low to have enough people for whatever they were trying to do, and it's as an afterthought), but tournaments take a lot of work and effort to run, even if people are helping. If you are focused on your playing/your opponents, you're not going to run a successful tournament.

...PLUS, with all of the flak you're getting about your ruleset being not-what-people-want, entering would look "unfair," and people would probably accuse you of running a tournament that's biased towards you winning.

I don't intend to run it by myself. I intend to organize it and get knowledgable experienced people to help run it. And its not the first tourney I've seen just the first I'll have competed in.


I'm stuck at work doing nothing all day but troll these forums now...

So....are we any closer to any kind of agreement about the ruleset here?

thread just got undiculously good

snype

Wow this thread escalated quickly. In fact I think this is the most active I've ever seen this forum.
Anyways. I'm really just lookin for any kind of tourny to be run at this point. And being hostile to each other isn't going to get us anywhere.
I wish I could come to acme right now, but alas! I am in colorado.
And Tofu has a point. You can do what you want, its not like im gonna stop you. But it is better to participate in a couple of tournies before you hold one of your own

Sorry for double post, psp has limitations lol.  Anyway, we should leave aug. to the canadians.  july is fine.

gerrak, iori is a jackass to everyone, especially newbies.  Just learn to read around it, because his insight is some of the best. 

Don't run the first tournament you've ever been to.  period.  I don't care if you're the chillest guy ever and a genious, tournaments are like art.  You can't paint a masterpiece if you've never seen one.

I would not go to another tournament run by Amber.  If she wants to know why, she can pm me for my number.  It isn't a personal issue though.

DMN, would you mind corunning a tournament with me and preferably one other reliable, experienced person, pref. Suko?  You have more experience than me, but i have run 8 various tournaments in the last year or so, meaning i could probably help oil out kinks of outdatedness.  Having an organizer from another major area would also likely yield much higher attendance.

Wow, just wow
June will be my 6-year mark. This is my first real community, though I have played with competitive-level players for years. I have not personally competed in any, that is part of the motivation for me; you wouldn't be organizing a tournament if you didn't want to compete in it either. I have expertise in running events in general, though not an ITG2 tourney so give me a fucking break. I'm doing this because no one in the area will run anything. And I'm not doing it alone I'm getting help so dont get your balls in a fucking twist.
To me 'worked out' meant scheduled with Acme as well. Since he evidently meant otherwise it was just a miscommunication.
Wow that's quite an accusation... I'm running it purely for myself. And my friends. And the people I play with all the time. And the people I have yet to play with but hope to meet because it'll be fun. Wait, isn't that the community? I don't pretend to think I would win this thing, its not some e-peen competition for me, I just want to play the game with people who also enjoy it and have some motivation for me and others to play again.

7:30? I'll see about heading up then too

No groovestats sorry. But totally a call out.

hehe I'll see your challenge! It'll either be the pleasure to play a master player or the chore of beating someone who's a year and a half out of practice. And I'm not really a 'kid' I'm graduated at this point from college and working as a teacher.

Let's try to stay the hostility for now guys we're all on the same team here. I'm not picking fights with anyone so please stop picking them with me. Thanks

MM = money match, and I would pay money to see that. In fact, fuck that, I'd start a whole betting pool.

Tony and I are coming at 7:30 or so, don't know about the rest of everyone.

What time are you guys going to be there on Saturday? I wouldn't mind coming down to hang out with you all.

Also, what does MM mean?

If I can get a ride up there I will MM Gerrak (DDR) to blind song selection S4R flat ft5 for $5. I think this kid doesn't really play at a competitive level. but just in case, it's only 5 dollars. This could either be a pleasure to play a master player, or a chore in beating a scrub. I haven't played in about a year and half so this should be free money for you if you are as good as you say.

I'll dominate anyone's ass on Cowgirl light without even standing up, take that bitches.

I'd be there to kick ass (hah yeah right, I can't fucking play this game anymore. I'm a washed up scrub veteran who can't even swallow fucking solid foods. V² is my limit lol) but I think I'm going to go with laura&co on saturday. You should come Gerrak!

  Since you're so serious about this tournament, don't you think we'd resopnd the same?
Is that a call out? Someone MM this fool. Do you have a groovestats or something?


tbh I'm starting to believe this is a troll topic... And it wasn't me this time

How is Bill not a party directly involved? He owns the machine, not Acme.

Gerrak

I was being serious, it's been over two years since I ran a tourney, and reading this makes me want to run one. No offense was intended.
