Tournament Open Thread

by Edith Wharton

All the world 's a thread, and all the men and women merely players.

Here I dug up some content.. take a Super Mario Quiz!

What is this? Who is Edith Wharton, Eli, do u know him, or her?

A humble servant of the library, sir.. one who hates watching threads hit five pages. I just thought I'd make life a little easier for you.

Sometimes on weekends I feed large crowds of gamers pizza.

Ha Ha I got Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, and Yoshi.

a major problem at the last tournament was that people wanted to use their own controllers. in mario kart when u take a controller out the LAN goes away and we have to restart it again. i dont get what is so special about your controller unless u rigged it to cheat such as when u press A once it does it 5 times. we should let the people use the controllers that are provided so we dont run into any delays like last time. the noise makers made it restart THREE TIMES! NOT TWO THREE!

shouldnt u be doing other stuff in school Ian?

lol i was playing great termina bay(i hate that place) and i threw a mine on the turtles nose and a jiggly puff actually walked over it lmao. another time was when the turtle goes away there are two bottom platforms and one top one. i was at the right bottom one and a fox hit me off then i do my fire fox but i pushed the control stick too far to the left but then i grab on to the left ledge of the right platform and i was very suprised.
[gtlogo:TMC]

They didn't want greasy controllers and eventually they used the controllers provided.

No, I have a basic C++ class and rarely do I have anything to do for the whole class period because I finish my work faster then most of my classmates. Hence I have plenty of free time in that class.

Good Morrow!

It would seem that gratitude is owed on multiple scores to that esteemed personage currently existing under the pseudonym of a renowned expert in the fields of literature and mythology.

To the ever-honoured Sir Ducksalot: Would you be interested to know about a free online puzzle game, the prize of which is $200,000? If so, go to
www.unfiction.com
and click on "Perplex City" on the sidebar. There will be a list of general forum headings; select "General/Updates," which will take you to a list of ten pages of fora on specific topics. It is not impossible that catching up to the current chain of events could take some few dozen hours of reading; nonetheless, it is an interesting and complex diversion that has the added value of a potential for lucrativity. The story unfolds through real-time, and the next major event occurs on the 22nd in London, UK; the game as a whole may come to a conclusion as early as the end of next year, or perhaps beyond.

While, as I read it, the general consensus was, on the previous Tournament forum, that politics should not be open for discussion, it occurs to me to ask: As this is an open forum, and there are, at the moment, three operational fora regarding the second competition, would lengthy and eloquent discourses upon divers political issues find themselves to be unwelcome here, as well?

Good Day!

Good Morrow!

<em>"Pickwick, I have a question. Why do you say, "good morrow" when you post?"</em>

As has been mentioned by the "Despicable Transporter of Pedestrians Located in a Transition Between Periods of Walking", there is no rational expression for the manner in which I open my posts; it merely occurs, as do the more easily explainable phenomena of falling leaves, the formation of snowflakes, and the dreaded moment of the pre-morning segment of the day in which the alarm clock is observed to emit a piercing and abrasive tone in an insistent, if not insolent, fashion.
Perhaps 'twould be best to regard it as a natural law adhering to the basic physical structure of the universe; perhaps, were I to come across my antimatter equivalent in an alternate universe, he would begin his messages with some other form of greeting which would, of course, be as exquisitely appropriate to the venue from which they would be read. I cannot say, bound, as I am, to this miniscule, infinitesimally small facet of the multiverse; perhaps there exist others who would be more knowledgeable than I. There are times when an insoluble mystery enters the realm of our senses, bringing with it an opportunity to explore new worlds of thought and to expand our knowledge; this is not, apparently one of those times.
I hope that was profound enough an answer to forestall more inquiries; I'm taking a break from homework to write this. This, oddly enough, leads rather naturally to my next topic.

<em>"I'm a sophmore. A sophmore who has mastered the art of finishing almost all of his homework at school. That is why 6-7 hours seems like a lot.</em>--TurtlePerson2
That does sound excessive for sophomore year; that's equivalent to the workload of a junior taking three or more AP classes and involved in the operation of two clubs (myself.) What classes are you taking, at which school(s) are you taking them, and what teachers do you have?

Duck, were I to cease drinking coffee, I suspect my GPA would slide an entire point downward. Rest assured, however, that I utilise caffeine only when the completion of homework threatens to take a number of minutes greater than those available until the hour of one in the morning, or on a day after such an early-morning homework spree; so far this year, I have survived five "all-nighters," wherein all of the time normally set aside for sleep is occupied by the implementation of a homework-completion process. Thus, without the aid of a substantial amount of caffeine, Mrs. Dahl would have observed me sleeping through an entire school week of her AP History class(1st hour) so far, and I would not be alive to write this. I do not, of course, imbibe coffee or caffeinated beverages on weekends except in preparation for events such as the PSAT or a library tournament involving video games. Do you drink coffee at all?

As usual, all are bidden to experience a
Good Day!

sravan ill sub for you i just decided this so who am i on a team with? Oh pickwick i think it might have been my team with drax that beat them but i'm not sure

"Its not over till its started"

not so sure yet flare. it'll probably be me and darksoul for mkdd and melee and u and galen more mkdd and melee. but if a team makes it into the prize round and the other doesnt then we will change them. duck its at the main library. guys i have to leave from clague and my thing ends at 4:45-5. i have 2 routes i can take to the libary one will get there at 5:15 but i have to leave practice early but the other will get me there at 5:30 but i dont have to leave as early. i'll probably take the early one unless i can convince a clague guy to give me a ride so i'll be there around 5:25ish.

well i just registered and i realize that we'll be doing ssbm first and thats a good idea so all those cons who think they are all that but then get creamed will leave and the skilled mkdd players will play mkdd.

[gtlogo:TMC]

The TC2 symbol isn't for our clan t's for TC2 hense the name TC2 clan symbol.
Our clan symbol is ornigal. And no to pr0's hall of fame ideas no one hit wonders voting. And you should have to be inelgible to come yo anymore.

bad driver u are qualified y are u complaining. if we have a vote then the high schoolers will vote for only high schoolers and since there are more of them they will win. "And you should have been ineligible to come yo anymore" what does that mean.

well i like the TC2 logo cuz u guys made it yourself.

in baseball u dont vote for hall of famers u earn it. when u get over 1000 points u earned them.
[gtlogo:TMC]

1000 points is a bad idea. Besides, shouldn't other things besides playing skills count? ie Activity online, commentating, long term commitment etc

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

correcting a typo in my old post since i cant edit it and u picky high schoolers complain about spelling i meant to say when u get over 1000 points u get in. i think playing the game is what counts commentating is for sports and u dont see john madden in the hall of fame do u? if u have long term commitment and u are good like me,duck, and joe then u should be in but for example john durski(no offense john) hasent won a prize yet. he came close though cuz he got 4th in december but thats cuz it was battle. 100 points is good cuz it usually includes event winners cuz of their event winning bonus and inhearet bonus and the prize winners cuz of their bonus so what would u suggest leinad?

[gtlogo:TMC]

That makes the hall fo fame way too big. I think that Eli should select at most 5 HoFers at the end of each season based on playing skill, contribution to AADL-GT personality, experience and any other important qualities. It's no longer a hall of fame if a bunch of random people who qualify at a tournament with 100 people.

To respond to what Eli said in the last thread about Wind Waker:

WW may have nicer controls and visuals, but I have a few problems with it. 1) The boat travel was beyond boring. 2) I know hating on the cartoon graphics is really cliche, and to be honest, they didn't ruin the game, but I liked the general atmosphere of OoT way better. 3) The crappy camera angles in OoT are part of the fun :-) 4) OoT has the 5th best storyline of any game I've ever played and the top 4 are all RPGs. I can hardly even remember the plot of WW 5) WW had too much collecting. 6) Tingle.

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

I would suggest 1500 points if not 2000. The system allows about 16-20 people to accumulate 1000 points in one tournament. There are easily 10 people per tournament that get over 1000, it would cause the HOF to be filled up in only a few tournaments. Having a very high quilifacation requirement makes it so only the best can get in.

[gtlogo:VMC]

Ugh, I am so sorry I EVER MENTIONED IT. Having a point threshold for a hall of fame, especially one as ludicrously low as has been suggested, is just ridiculous. It's not a hall of single-round high points scoringness. If we would be to do a hall of fame, simply put, I would unilaterally pick a set of inductees each season. End of story. No popularity contests, no point threshold, no feats of strength or bribery required.

However, one approach might be that only players who are aging out, i.e. that will be graduating and unable to play in the next regular GT season, would be inducted, just like how sports figures aren't usually inducted to a hall of fame until they retire. So, inductees could be chosen out of each year's Senior Class.

As for Wind Waker, I had forgotten all about Tingle. You may have a point. I've been avoiding his island like it was crawling with H5N1 infected seagulls this go-round.

Did you know Tingle is getting <a href="http://www.zeldablog.com/2005/10/05/tingle-rpg/&quot; title="There is very little chance this will be released stateside, but if it is, I just might buy it. It looks WEIRD.">his own game</a>?

Pro, wow,
I am not "flare"

First off, I want to say that I so just called that system about 2-3 points ago. Second, the senior idea rocks. We should definately do that. And before everyone starts whining, just remember that you'll be seniors soon, so you'll get you chance. And he said "chosen" not "seniors get in" so it will still be selected. This way everyone gets one shot at it.

Good Morrow.

I would like to take this opportunity to protest at a perceived inequality of the system governing the freedom of expression at this venue. When I took the liberty of posting a brief comment regarding the president of the United States, it was almost unanimously agreed (with, of course, mine being the sole dissenting voice) that the subject was too controversial for discussion; when, however, the subject of sports teams arises, we see an entirely different picture: Rather than protesting at the broaching of a topic of discussion that is clearly in possession of the potential to be a source of raucous disputation, six several entities elected to argue in favour of their own views on the subject.
Now, I realise this may (or, perhaps, is intended to be) be an unpopular opinion, but it certainly seems to me that the topic of sports teams can give rise to even greater controversy than that of politics, which, when taken with the greater import and general interest value of the latter's subject matter, would tend to be a powerful argument in favour of permitting neither, or, better still, <em>both</em> to be discussed at this forum. <em>THUSLY</em>, I put it to you, that if the number of comments posted regarding the performance of various and sundry athletic organisations reaches, at any time in the future, the respectable number of 'ten,' then I will unilaterally grant myself the right to discourse and pontificate (knowledgeably, of course) on the current state of affairs in this and other countries. So there! :vP
Good Day!
-----Pickwick the Second-----

Good Morrow!

Your Majesty, while I agree fully with your estimate of the nature of the current political climate, I had intended to utilise ACTUAL FACTS to support my arguments, which is a point on which both sides tend to be questionably scrupulous; this would, of course, involve a not insubstantial quantity of research, and would also increase my already-well-above-average mean quantity of words per missive, which would have the added bonus of causing most to avoid reading my political screeds, thus rendering them entirely irrelevant to others while enabling myself to express my viewpoint. Any person who might devote that quantity of time requisite to composing a response would likely be motivated either by disagreement or by irritation, as it seems unlikely, based on the response my earlier post received despite our residence in a blue stronghold, that the 'others' mentioned so many times already in the last few sentences, and for whom I really must find some other term, disagree uniformly with my expressed opinion of the president, and yet all expressed disdain for the concept of discussing politics here. This brings me, at last, to the idea which is designated officially as the 'point' of this paragraph: If all of those on the left with me maintain silence on this topic, and most on the right do the same, the result would likely be a debate with roughly equal proportions on either side. Upon rereading this paragraph, it makes little sense to me, but I'll assume, in the interest of charity to self, that it did at one point in its history of several revisions and rewrites.

Would the "surprise" mentioned be, by any chance, a forum devoted entirely to political discussion or debate? If so, then all praise be to thee, the deity of the Tournament fora!

-----Pickwick the Second-----

Sup all. I'm going to the tournament on saturday on the 22nd. oh yeah. al right. And i MAY retire after this year duck.
[img_assist|fid=97|thumb=1|alt=Trouble Monkey Clan|caption=Logo for the AADL-GT Trouble Monkey Clan.]

Pickwick, you're forgetting that sports, unlike modern American politics, allow for respectful differences of opinion. The Wolverine fan needs the buckeye fan on whom to heap derision and scorn. The value of such fundamental axes, and the worthiness of the individuals at their distant ends, are concepts entirely unknown to the political arena.

However, sit tight, Colonel Pickwick, as we have a surprise in development that should help you find a proper home for the discussion you wish to have, free of these philistines and their fighting songs.

I put a bomb in the squirrel.
[gtlogo:RED]

Pickwick the subject of sports as a discussion is allowed because of a few things. The first is the fact that most "debates" consist entirely of cat calls, simple insults or statements that are fairly short lived and are purely based on opinion with almost no fact to back them up. While politics can over pages about the moral and social - economical positions of a variety of people. The results of such augments tend never to happen since no one is willing to concede to the other side. Number 2 the fact that someone stating their positions on a particular sports team is not going to convince someone that they aren't welcome here because the rivalry between sports team is typically a friendly competition. Politics can make someone feel extremely uncomfortable in a public place when they have no one to associate with. Politics can push people away from tournaments while sports tend to just make people yell. 3rd the fact that sports have some connection (even thou it is very little) with the tournament regrettably. Politics has its own category and should remain unaffiliated with the tournaments. 4th even though this city is primarily democratic I have to point out that several people that post are republicans.

"You may need to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. By 'devil' I mean robot devil and by 'metaphorically' I mean get your coat."-bender [gtplayer:139]
[gtlogo:VMC]

Politics are simply an excuse for rich people to yell at eachother on national television, to try and to convince the less-rich people to give them more money. Then, they take this money, and buy themselves bigger yachts. Which they then use to have press conferences on, which are then followed by parties wherein people get very drunk and push the piano off the side into the harbor. Then, the politicians issue statements, saying it was not <strong>them</strong> that spiked the punch, it was one of their body doubles.

In short, politics is a very very very <strong><em>BAD</em></strong> idea to discuss on any forum affiliated with the tournament. If Eli sets up mulitple forums, like I have requested several times, then it will be fine to discuss politics on a forum SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED for it.

I must warn you, Sir Pickwick the lengthy, that you will find that section of said forums <strong>quite</strong> empty, and it will be quite a waste of your time to post on it, since as you can see, not many people want to discuss politics. There are many perfectly acceptable places to discuss politics, and this should <strong><em>NOT</em></strong> be one of them.

21! (This, as with the solitary "7," was a reference to the number of sport-related posts.)
As I am somewhat busy with homework at this time, I do not have sufficient time to devote to crafting the elaborate and thorough refutation and general response that the points that Sir Ducksalot and Major Tom have made in favour of continuing the informal ban on political debating; this will come at a later time, and will precede further motions on my part toward intitiating further steps in relation to implementing a pontification function.
I shall, however, take a brief moment to respond to the question posed by the Demon-possessed Operator of Public Transportation, which forwarded a query as to the existential state of a tendency on the part of my hands toward fatigue, presumably following a typically-prolixitous and circumlocuitous message: One answer is that my hands accrue weariness only inasmuch as my eyes do, and it is thus that all here present have been spared the misery of a communique that meets the description '<em>truly</em> long' even by <em>my</em> standards. (Muahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!) Of course, there seems to be some sort of suggestion veiled in the asking of the question, which, roughly translated, reads: "Must you really continue badgering us with your over-long, tedious, and, on the whole, <em> boring </em> ramblings?" I regret fully(or, to be more precise, I do <em>NOT</em> regret in the slightest) having to inform you that my response to the question as posed is an unqualified, unconditional 'affirmative'!!!!!!!!! And, of course, I really must protest at the characterisation of my writing presented by one 'Monkeyman' (to whom I shall, henceforth, refer, or not refer, as may be my will, by using the derisive term 'Peanut Gallery'); I have not, as yet, utilised that particular arrangement of characters and do not intend to, excepting, perhaps, to point out that there are well over one hundred grammatical and spelling errors located in your post, even assuming (far too charitably) that 'blah' qualifies as a word. In response, I intend to let this choice selection of characters speak in lieu of myself: :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

This has stretched on, even at this early stage, to a length beyond that which would allow for the timely completion of assignments designed for the completion off school property. The ineluctibility of another late night presents itself to my consciousness, and it is thus that I bid ye all, except for the Peanut Gallery, a

ok eli, my account got screwed up because when evil bus driver stated that I have 2 accounts, u deleted the one that was in the clan and not the one that I have now. Can you remake the account that I had before and email me a password for it plz. ( Its the one called SithLord not Sith Lord. See the one with no space) Then get rid of the one with the space once and for all.

[gtlogo:RED]

Eli, can you fix this problem with my clanmates.
When I asked you to delete a profile for him you deleted the wrong one. We needed the one that was shown up in the clan and gt page. can you email him the password for that account?
Also if you already did that thx, I have no clue because I obviously cant check his email for him.

Wort-Wort-Worthog
[gtlogo:RED]

Eli how come you only get half as many points for co-op and team melee. When both people still have to play just as good as single player. You could have a different score for clans.

cuz bad driver it would be doubling the score that u actually get and that could be a lot of points. say u get 1st in co-op u get 800 points for your clan. if the 2 same players got 1st and 2nd in single then u only get 700. its cuz the clans would get too many points so single player is the key.

[gtlogo:TMC]

I would gain 630 points from MarioKart alone which would moveme up substanically.
Also an Idea for MarioKart is to put a Minum finish time since melee the good kill the bad but, in MarioKArt the bad just slow down the good.

no finish time and who would come up with the times anyway? in LAn mode there are so many more master shells so it will take a longer time to finish then split screen. bad driver the bad have to slow down thhe good thats their job so they can get ahead...
isnt that the point of mario kart excluding the good and bad things?

I meant that I might be done in a race in 2:00 well somebody els but, finish in 4:00 in melee Pro you might win in 3:00 and it's done. So in MarioKart first place is usally across the finish line in under three minutes but, there are the really slow racers

No offense to anyone, but some people on this blog neeed to get a life. Not that stting infront of a computer for two hours is bad or anything, but go do something fun. (Unless your bored and thier is nothing else to do, or you consider this fun). By the way. I think that they should also show the Penn State vs. Michigan game at the next tourtament. It would add a twist. Even though we all know Penn State is going to win, GO BLUE!

Duck I think you proved snowmans point. Also Eli have you given the Turtle Clan recriutment bonuses for the following.
Red Bull addict
Snowman
Darkmarth
Anti Snowman there is a lot more but, i don't know if the've told you yet

o so there is an anti snowman and a regular snowman. i thought anti snowman was BCL. hi sith apprentice. eli in the single melee tournament we had 2 matches, took the top 32, then took 1st and 2nd places, and had the top 16, then took the 1st place winner, then had the 4 ppl battle it out. we should've done 1v1 but if that situation happens again, then when u have the 16 players u can take the top 2 from each match instead of 1 just like mario kart. my friend darksoul won all 3 matches and lost by that lucky bomb in the match where u had to get 1st. he got 2nd by a fraction of a second. or we take those 16 players and do march madness 1v1 style!

if bad driver is getting his bonuses for those people then our clan needs bonuses for these people:
Ugo
Darksoul
bbqkitten(rod)
007
Danny F.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Danny F. made his nickname "some mexicans"....i dunno if i already posted this, but i actually cant go to the tournament cuz my mom is celebrating her birthday...
soooo Flare can sub or Rod can.

YAY joe is coming!!!!!!! sorry flare but that means u can't sub for us but u are a friend of the trouble monkeys. evil bus driver ask your brother to play a variety of playlists on halo 2 he only plays big team battle and that doesn't improve your skill much. rumble pit, head to head, and team slayer, and team skirmish are what counts. multi team is luck thats y i like it. team snipers is mostly skill thats why i suck at it lol. also double team as joe was telling me that when your partner leaves u have to beat 2 ppl and he has dont it many times! is duck reitiring after december?

we better win the penn state game.

Is there a wild card this year? If so for clans?

There is a Wildcard but not for Clans.

I'm not retiring just all my clan mates. I'm just a junior. I'll be continuing the Vaccinated Monks into the next season, although Leinad, Tom, and BubblingBeebles will most likely come to a tournament. Since they might be here for the next August tournament.

whats so good about 4:20? i remember before u said post 69. ewwwww. tp2 its an i pod nano but it should be the video.
also eli padouk didnt get those 40 points so shouldnt those be deducted?
edit:wow 56,57,58. i didn't see either of them when i posted
[gtlogo:TMC]

In reply to by Blue Monkey

how do u know you have 780 points? i think it was BCL who said it before but he wanted an acdemic prize round. why doesn't he do academic games? i know there is a team for huron and kaite everett is on it, so is vinayak. there is one for pioneer too and maya spivak was on it i think. so was fernando from the ddr tournaments.
actually i think both the teams combined to make an A2 team. eli will u be posting the procedure of the melee tournament next week or anytime soon? yea that was a retorical question.

[gtlogo:TMC]

I'm not sure yet, TP2, it may be a Nano, although there is no 'iPod video', it's that the new iPods can play video, so if we go with the 30gb instead of the Nano, it would be a new one, able to play video. I think the Nano is pretty amazing, though....

I would like to get the new <a href="http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/mario-kart-ds/index.php#mario-kart-ds-bund…; title="The red is pretty sweet...">Mario Kart DS</a> bundle for the DS prize, though.

Prince Marth, the leaderboard is fine. Your score should be 680. Remember that if you look at the scores for [gtplayer:183], your leaderboard score only accrues half the points you won in team matches.

Fire code is I think 124 persons. There is a sign right as you enter the room that states it with and without chairs.

Ah, thank you for the clarification!
If I invited 300 people, for a total of 75 new clans, I could tell 100 of them to preregister within 30 seconds of Eli's opening of that particular option for Tournament 3, 100 others for #4, and the remainder for the last. This would put me in first place, with somewhat over 2.75638 times the score of the distinguished entity I currently have the honour to address.
By the by, do you know if our scheduled half-day for next week has been canceled, or, indeed, if it ever existed? (Dilbert paraphrasation: <em>Catbert: "Wally, does anything truly exist, or is it all just shadows on a cubicle wall?"</em>)
---------Pickwick the Second---------

Ok, Sravan, you may have more points now, but that's because Eli hasn't added in recruitment bonuses yet. No telling when he's going to, but when he does, we'll earn at least those 1818 points, maybe more by then.

Let's play the "Ya Know What I'm Sayin' Game". The rules is that u have 2 talk about one certain topic, stick wit' it, and end each line with "ya know what I'm sayin'".
Example:
The SSBM tourney is next week, ya know what I'm sayin'
I really need 2 practice, ya know what I'm sayin'
I'm really good with DK, ya know what I'm sayin'
I just need to practice some more with him, ya know what I'm sayin'
I'll be ready, ya know what I'm sayin'
I'll probably lose, ya know what I'm sayin'
There will be a lot of kick-ass adults there, ya know what I'm sayin'
I'll get my ass kicked, ya know what I'm sayin'
But I'll have good practice anyway, ya know what I'm sayin'

There u go, now u try, and then do the truffle shuffle.

What you have to realize Tom is that it doesn't matter how many clan points you get during the season. Right now anyone part of a clan that has two or more people that have a thousand points is in the top 4 probably.

I am shortly to take the liberty of quoting a personage new to this particular venue, in order that I might more efficiently mock them. I'm a little tired (a state of being which is probably due in part to lack of sleep,) so this may not turn out as well or as wittily as it otherwise might.
Update: Fortunately for all those who might otherwise have had the misfortune to read it, I have decided to postpone this action in hopes of improvement through further editing. I will, however, express the following to the Entity The Building Blocks Of Which Are Formed by the Hexagonal Arrangement of Molecules of Dihydrogen Oxide, And Which Is Ordered, On A Larger Scale, By Way Of The Conjunction Of Two Or More Spheres Of Varying Size Perched Precariously, One Atop Another, In A Grim Parody Of The Perceived Appearance Of A Specimen Of The Dominant Lifeform On This Particular Planet: There are many people who use this forum as a readily-available, convenient medium for communication between friends and acquaintances, others who attempt to stimulate thought through the use of poetry or other devices, and then there are those few who actually fit your charge of spending amounts of time in excess of two hours posting: Myself, and, once or twice, that august personage, leader of the pack in points: Sir Ducksalot. Both of us, as evinced through a counterpoint--the incredibly tactful manner in which you phrased your message--put a great deal more thought into our words than you do; I would also dispute the specious contention that any time spent writing is wasted, in this day and age, whether or not attention to detail is observed, as communication is a skill which must be practiced.
I will have a less moralistic, preachy response at a later date, but a vast armada of homework assignments has yet to be completed; I go, then, to face it in open warfare. To arms, all of ye engaged in similar struggles! May the Heavens smile upon our endeavours!
---------Pickwick the Second---------
PS: Muchos Gracias, Duck, for the mention ("up-and-coming clans":) )!!!!!
PPS: Duck, what sort of office will I get to run?
PPPS: jlgelinas, this post is just four lines over your maximum.....
PPPPS: I seem to recall that you had sixteen signed up, Duck; this could mean that you have two others not on your list.

Good Morrow!
Just to clear up a point I have been unclear on for some time, what is wavedashing, how does one go about performing a wave dash, and of what use is said function?

Flare, I haven't read any of Feist's books yet, but I have Betrayal at Krondor for PC; would that be closely related to the books?
Good Day!!
---------Pickwick the Second---------
PS: Ack, an error in my previous post! This shall serve as a disclaimer, in case another also finds it.

o i didnt know that u brought that clan. without joe we'll do ok maybe better cuz flare is a beast at melee and we're having that all night practice session. flare is also not bad at mario kart niether is darksoul but they have to get better. in team melee both of our teams will make the top 4 no doubt about it! besides joe is bringing 5 new ppl and i'm bringing 2 maybe 3.
my predictions for the melee only tournament are me and tp2 in the top 8 then 6 other >18 players. tp2 and I are extremely good at 1v1 march madness and we will definatly get into the top 16 by 4 player FFA. since its 1v1 all those people who resorted to teaming up and camping have no choice but to fight or get KOed.

o yea whats up with noah's thing. or was it the fake noah? and u copied joe in the giddy giddy thing.

Major Tom Doom Pants has no points also Here is the complete list of people who have come or are planning on coming lot's of them have'nt been on the blog.
Dark Prince(Anti Snowman)
Uber Ninja
Dark Marth
Snowman
Foxman
Tru Dog
Rtallstar93
Red Bull Addict
Yar
Can't play
Stravoli
And the entire T unit is new or was only at the wild card.
There might have been some I missed

Eli Duck got 1780 points from the first place sur prize round victory. I know you get points on how well you did but, Con only has 1100 1000 for winning and 100 for getting to the round robin . Duck got like 420 for getting there and like 1320 for winniing. Joe got 1380 for third

That's because Eli said that he would take 1/10th of the score you received in the first part of the surprise round and you score in monkey battle, while bomber man didn't have a definite scoring system you just came in a place.

Plus everyone I had listed HAS shown up at the tournament and said that the VMC brought them. Doompants had to leave before Melee so he wasn't able to play.

Duck the sur prize round you got about 400 more then Con and you guys both won A suprize round worth 1000 points(Which already too much)
I don't care about a definite scoring system

everyone who played bomber man for the suprise round got 10 points regardless of their score. as duck said eli took 1/10 of your monkey target score and added it to ur personal score. then in the top 4 he took their monkey battle score and added it. since duck got like 4000 in target and 320 in battle he got 1720. would he still be in first place if he didn't get those 720 points thats the real question.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Ok here are the scores without the "excess points".

1 TurtlePerson2 2920
2 c0N 2695
3 Sir Ducksalot 2640
4 pr0 2470
5 Doomblaze 2155
6 jlgelinas 2130
7 Joe S 1935
8 Bowser 1795
9 Earnist Da Chicken 1785
10 Monkeyman 1765
11 Bubblingbeebles 1645
12 Bad driver 1620

Its not like Eli is going to go back and change the scores.

Idiot, those aren't the real scores. Those are only the ones that would be if the "excess points" were taken away.

God, you guys really need to stop your whining. You're coming up with all of these ways to say that the people who won aren't really as good as they should be, or that they haven't really earned as many points as they did. Well, I hate to break it to you guys, but THEY'VE EARNED THE POINTS THEY'VE EARNED. There's nothing you can do about it, complaining won't help you. Yes, I will admit, there is luck involved in this, but that's the whole point. Stop detracting from other people's accomplishments just because you didn't win.

Hi! I'm posting to say I have been brough to the tournament by Ian Melcher (aka Duck, I think). So give him points.

Ria isn't listed as having come to a tournament.

I got my laptop back so I don't have to play gamecube anymore.

Bad Driver, Doompants was there he just got 0 points. He apparently was in 2 battles of melee. Although I didn't know you could get 0 points unless he forfeited. If he did forfeit and wasn't actually there he shouldn't be worth any points.

Tom people are complaining because, it was possible to win about 2500 points from the surprize round and as we saw people who owned monkeyball won a lot of those points. Those are points that people who didn't own monkeyball didn't have a fair chance to earn.

Eli I think the recruitment bonuses were a bad idea. That is how we got flooded with newbies. We should make next season require pre registration so that only people who care enough to spend five minutes online come. This would also make the registration a lot quicker.

One question. When will registration open at the melee tournament and the round 3 tournament.

Duck one sur prize round isn't orth more than another one.
Yea I brought about or talked to 10 or so people who come and do O.K. in qualifaction but, get out quickly in elimanatiion.
[img_assist|fid=126|thumb=1|alt=Turtle Clan Logo|caption=AADL-GT Turtle Clan]

it worked Oh Yea! Tom I'm not complaining I am pointing out a unfair scoring system. Thats like saying MarioKart in the first tourney is worth 120 for a first and 150 for a frst in the elimanation and 500 for winning and the next tourtament first place got 10 and then if you won the event you got 500

Ria is figwit (who was at a tournament) I guess she didn't realize to use figwit. I forgot to tell her to use figwit.

Ok Bad driver. Let me point out some things. First the system isn't going to be overhauled for such a minor dispute and it is minor if you compare the points handed out during the surprise round to the points handed out for other events. The surprise round is really only half a standard event. Second Eli will most likely try and standardize the points given out at each tournament but if you noticed they have to sort though a lot of RAW data to try and come up with something that is as close to fair as possible. Since there was no WINNERS at any one station for the last surprise round they punched in the monkey target scores. 3rd if you wanted to dispute Eli taking 1/10th that score and adding it to the players points you should have when Eli Announced it way back when. 4th the surprise points could be determined by a ratio to the number of people that show up at a tournament; to signify that getting first in a highly attended tournament is worth more then winning a less attended tournament.

Of the new people I brought only 2-3 weren't decent at either game. Most of them qualified for at least one event. 1/4th have qualified for the surprise round.

[img_assist|fid=126|thumb=1|alt=Turtle Clan Logo|caption=AADL-GT Turtle Clan]

Duck, BD and I have been complaining about the amount of points in the surprize round since it was announced.

BD and I didn't know about the 1/10 thing until a little while ago. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if everyone had level playing ground.

Also Eli wouldn't have that hard of a time changing the data. All he would have to do is get rid of the surprize qualifier and then change the points that 4 people got. That doesn't seem so hard.

I'm looking forward to next week's surprise round game.

Duck 4th could be taken seriously if it wasn't coming from you. (You have a very, very, very large bias.)

I'm sorry I was a little annoyed about other things when I made my last post. Ok I should explain how useless points are. They don't matter at all for individuals because all you have to is qualify once and you're not only in the surprise round for that tournament but for the finals. For clans points account for very little since 8 of 11 make the cut. One after a clan wins a tournament they could skip the rest of the tournaments. Really points only matter for the 4 clans that get in by points. Currently the clans that hold the 4 highest scores and haven't won a tournament are the Trouble Monkey Clan, Turtle Clan, Super Shrooms and The Foreign Exchange. Only the bottom clans have to worry about qualifying. The individual points only matter for bragging rights.

I had to scale them down to fit the new ones.
I have Adobe Photoshop 6.0 (old version, I think): well ive checked the size. It is about

width: 250 pixels
height: 179 pixels

I havent printed them yet because the lack of color ink, so im not sure of the size.
ill give you just one this Monday so you can fix it the way you want it. Then just bring all of the badges to the gt. If I am able to go, I will bring the rest of the plastics. If I dont go, (I hope I do), then I will have SPARTAN-014 take them in my stead.

<em>"Pickwick, have you been procrastinating so much that you have to do your homework late at night because it was due the very next day?

While I respect very much the gesture of extending an offer of membership in the aforementioned organisation, I am afraid I must decline, on grounds which shall be specified within the space of a few sentences. The habit mentioned as a precursor to entry has, in fact, been in my possession during years past, and indeed, so near as the most recent school year to have transpired. Nay, the cause for which many of the hours wherein a potential for sleep lay were not utilised to their fullest may be found in my tendency toward prolixness and a very high standard for my writing, which leads to an essay of a single page being three or five hours in the transcribing. The sad irony in my case is that, as you may be aware, there is precious little to be had in the way of inspiration during the wee hours of the morning, and so, after hours of editation, which was not truly a word until now, but may be said, from this moment henceforth, to refer to the process of being edited; after, as I say, many hours, the end product is a wretched travesty of a paper, nowhere near to the level of quality that may readily be observed in my posts. It is thus that I must express my deepest, utmost gratitude for the invitation, and explain that, had you offered it a mere five months ago, it would have been accepted, but that at this time, I cannot afford to do so, lest my GPA resume its downward trend of years past; and, finally, forward my most humble and sincere apologies and regrets.

<em>"There are very few moments in which I have talked to you and you weren't tired or eating coffee beans."</em>
This is true. There were also the times when I was eating coffee beans <em>and</em> still tired. This state of being (by which I refer to tiredness rather than my habits regarding coffee) has, I believe, prevailed since August, 1997.

<em>"Duck: when you say
"round up the usual suspects"
are you making any reference to the patriot act?"</em>
Hah! That possibility hadn't occurred to me, but it seems...like I've already forgotten my promise not to mention politics until I've debated that with Duck and Major Tom. Still: inspired connection, BCL/Anti-Snowman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky! I haven't been able to practice for a week and a half; hope I don't have any homework on Thursday, or else all of you will beat me....

This is about the time to start planning for the pre-competition matches that I proposed. I believe that two people had accepted my offer for a duel, but I can't remember which two, and I'm a little busy right now to scan the previous forums(the <em>ONE</em> downside to having filled them with random scribblings!). If those who had agreed to a skirmish would remind me and suggest details for meeting before the competition (so perhaps around 5:30'ish) and information to aid in identification, it would be greatly appreciated. I believe that one was Flare (the original, of course), and the other may have been Sravan...?? Regardless, I plan to be there about as early as possible, and I will probably be wearing either a Red Wings jersey, a different Red Wings jersey, a dark blue and black Hawaiian shirt, or a faded green psuedo-Hawaiian shirt.
Good Day, and Good Luck to all, including me!

PS: I have been asked by a clan member to ask this of pr0/Sravan: Sir, while at the previous tournament, did you, by any chance, engage in combat with, and defeat with little trouble, a team in melee at the Battlefield--a team that may, perchance, have consisted of a Fox and a Marth? If so, I must deliver another challenge: we'd like to avenge our ignoble deaths this Friday or Saturday(in Open Play, as we've switched up our teams a bit for the official matches.)

It's 13 and up because that's what the game is rated. We fudge it a bit at the GT tournaments, but I couldn't really advertise a tournament for a T rated game for all ages to come to, and we had to draw the line somewhere. However, if you have played in a GT tournament, you can come to the melee-only, I'll let you play.

<strong>This has nothing to do with anyone Except Pickwick.</strong>

We have a bottle drive going on. I went to the one during the summer (late because of misinformation) but had no clue we were still going with it. That reminds me that I have the receipts for those.

Pickwick(s) did you count me in the poinsettias. I sold 5 but contacted Linda directly because of lack of info. As for the Candy Bar sales it is possible to raise 3-3.5k so we still have a shot we just need to sell quite a few. I trust we will have at least 2 weeks to sell them. Having time is the biggest factor: with the poinsettias I could have sold 20-30 easily having contacted just a few people but having like 2 nights (when I found out) I rushed my attempts.

If the fund raisers were organized to give plenty of time to allow us to sell stuff. Having all fund raisers start as soon as possible instead of this sporadic mess would be nice for one. Also could we please have the number of required hours be stated? I remember last year having like 45-50 hours and finding out I needed 70 (because I’m not a girl).

P.S. When is the next workshop? I plan on bringing <em>Once Upon a Time</em> to pass the time the mentor isn't there. Trust me this is a game of mine you'll like.

Good Morrow!
I fully agree with your expressed sentiments regarding fundraising. I have been somewhat out of the loop on that issue, and I do not, as yet, know the time frame in which the candy sale will take place. There is a Board Meeting next week, and it seems likely that it will be determined then. I shall see what I can do.
As for hours, I think we are going to use something akin to the percentage form outlined in the membership guidelines (which I STILL haven't corrected,) but we can certainly publish rough estimates of the requirements for each, based on the totals for last year. That is, in fact, a very good idea.
The next workshop is this Thursday. I forget precisely what it regards, but it may be electrical or programming. I don't suppose this game of yours is anything that you wouldn't be able to play if Mr. Young were watching...? :=)

Ah, yes. The Chem test. How was it? And, for that matter, how was the Analysis test?
I have been involved in some of the decision-making process, but not all, especially with regard to fundraising. The job description of my august office is not very detailed, as with the real US Government, and I haven't been making an effort in the last few weeks to keep myself informed on planned fundraisers. That would be in part because I wanted to get as many missing Chem assignments in as I could ere the end of the quarter.
