Dacidbro Report post Posted November 3, 2010 qwerty, after this weekend, I need you to hold me to this; I want to get halfway decent at GG, which means I need to make it out to Rod's gatherings (or wherever else they are, if open invitation) Any one I don't make it to that I could have, I need you to tell me I'm a dick for. That's really all I need from you, you down? PS you can't spell n***** without gg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whiteboywilly Report post Posted November 3, 2010 And are those times accurate? I know last time everything got munched together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spirit Juice Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Those times SHOULD be accurate if PEOPLE SHOW UP ON TIME. Last time everyone was jerking off or something and showed up WAY later than they should have. Everyone showing up late is what caused people to GET MAD and CRY over how the stream went.

Dacidbro Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Well until someone actually gets DQed for it, it won't change. Problem is everyone here is friends and no one wants to screw their friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crosell Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Looking good looking good. I'll bring my 360 HDD and arcade stick so some casuals can be going down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrionXElite Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Ok I can see people having a hard time making it to a 10am ranbat like these started out as, but man, when people don't need to get here till 3pm, kinda stupid to wait on them if they can't make it by then unless of course there is notice ahead of time of said lateness for a GOOD reason, not "i overslept by a fucking hour and left people waiting at Willy's house" if people can't make it by 3 or 4pm for BB, fucking DQ them. I dunno how bad people are punctually for GG and Melty so I can't have an opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skubator Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Is this going to be on 360 setups, since Microsoft is sponsoring? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chun Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Entry Fee for this iteration has been updated. Tournaments are run on PS3 setups, casuals will be run with spectators on 360s. Also, in regards to being on time; please come on the assumption I'm going to be strict. If we seek to become bigger we must start getting into the habit of holding a slightly more professional attendance hour than a holding for all friends. That isn't to say there isn't any flexibility, but starting the habits should make things overall easier. ~Chun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
