Super Smash and Kart Tournaments: This Weekend!

by eli

The action heats up this weekend, with our first-ever Open Super Smash Bros: Melee tournament, inviting all players ages 13 and up to come and fight against the best SSB:M players in the area for a shot at gift card prizes: $40 for 1st place, $30 for 2nd, and $20 for 3rd. Doors open Friday night at 6:00 PM in the Downtown Library Multipurpose Room, and the Tournament will start after 6:30. The format will be 2 or 3 stock, 4-player battles, with all items and stages enabled, earning points for wins, with the highest scorers moving on to elimination brackets. Registration is now open.

Then, on Saturday, we've got AADL-GT Round 3, from Noon - 5 PM at the Downtown Library, including Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart Single-player and Team Events. Doors open at 11:30, and Preregistration is open now. Winners of each event advance to the Sur-Prize round,, where they'll play a MYSTERY GAME to determine who will take home the $70, $50, and $30 gift cards.

This round's commentary teams will be:

Melee: Tom & Leinad
Backup: Muffincat, Mouse

Kart: Joe S & Sravan
Backup: Duck, Pickwick the Second

Surprise Round: Tom & Leinad
Backup: Joe S, Sravan, Pickwick, Duck, Muffincat, Mouse, depending on who is still around

Only two commentators at a time. We will have a separate, quiet commentary booth this time, with 8 screens on which to watch the uninterrupted action and comment on it accordingly, with real commentator headsets and everything. It should be a big improvement.

Questions? Let me have 'em!

Comments

Oh, goody; I get the first post! Thanks, Eli!
Not, of course, that I have anything interesting or useful to say; I would like merely to comment briefly on one or two subjects.

It has just come to my attention that I am a candidate for substitute announcer; I am honoured by this distinction, and shall attempt to do my best if called upon, though I must warn you, Your Majesty: as my prestigious and redoubtable co-nominee, the Right Honourable Sir Ducksalot, may, if it be his will, confirm, I tend to speak with less clarity and volume than those[[or that? it's too early for my internal grammar processor to function...]] with which I write. This is not to say that I cannot, or will not, perform the function admirably, especially now that you have notified me well in advance so as to allow for certain (or uncertain) preparations and practice.

I do, however, have one question: Will the competition on Friday be worth points that are applicable toward the greater series of tournaments?

Good Luck to all!
---------Pickwick the Second---------

I can't register a kart team. I got a DB syntax error.

Why are you posting before 3 AM?

well if the doors open only at 6pm then i might as well come on the late bus so i'll be there around 5:45. yay i get to commentate with joe!

[gtlogo:TMC]

Ummm, one thing... Is there any way we can switch the commentary teams so Leinad and I do Kart? Or is this pretty much set in stone? I don't know about Leinad, but I know that <strong>I</strong> don't know as much about melee as I do about Kart. If that's the only thing I can do, then I can handle melee, it'll just take a few battles for me to get into the swing of it.

And yay for all of the new comentary equipment, especially the headsets. Also, can we make some sort of provision that <strong><em>NOBODY</em></strong> can interrupt the commentators while they are commntating, because that was a real problem last time.

Also, for future consideration, we should switch up the pairings, at least for the two main events. I.E.: Tom & Joe, Sravan & Leinad or vice versa. That would be fun, rather than having one clan for one event.

What the right after I go to bed you guys start posting.

Having rival clans commentate togather is a great idea. It would give the (few) viewers different views.

Well I didn't think I did that great of job as a commentators but I see Galen and Moses didn't get in. I'll have to tell mouse and muffincat that they are commentating.

Wow, the last couple posts all have interesting times. 2:22, 7:11, 7:27 did you guys plan that.

In reply to by Sir Ducksalot

sravan i should just sign up with galen now right? if so what should the team name be?

"The false face must hide what the false heart doth know."

Well, we were originally planning on going the other way, but we'll talk about it tomorrow at school.

Also, it's too bad that Joe S. can't come, he would've been a good commentator. Bad Driver, it's not really possible to lower your voice any without really, really expensive equipment that the library doesn't have <strong>and</strong> doesn't have a need to have.

Eli, who are we going to get to replace Joe? My first vote would be for Duck, and my next would be for Galen. Somewhere down the line would be Muffincat, then Mouse. Way down at the bottom, past the lawyers, the lawyers' laywers, would be Black Shark.

And yes, Beebles and I won't be able to make it to the Friday SSBM tournament because of the stupid Pioneer/Huron game that night. Stupid football, what good is it anyways? It's just an excuse for muscular guys to hit eachother over and over again. Hockey is a <em>much</em> better sport.

problem...
I cant make it to the beginning of this, I have to be somewhere till 7:15 pm on friday but it is very close to the library. I can be there at only 7:30. Is there something I can do about this eli?

You're not commentating because Eli didn't think you were good enough. Frankly, I agree with him. You were too bland.

thats not nice tom. this is sravan at darksoul's house. i wanna commentate mario mario just cuz but since we are doing melee first we can do the 1v1 march madness!! anyway ttyl

Dude, did you <em>hear</em> him commentating? I'm trying to put this as nicely as I can... cause it was pretty not all that good.

<strong>Duck: </strong>"If you could coordinate 100 people to register within 30 seconds of the event openings I would demand you to be in some office somewhere running something right."[gtlogo:VMC]

He could have been much worse Sravan. I found Moses' comments to be very broad and unrefined.

Sravan you know you can login from multiple computers.

Greetings!
I am not currently in possession of the affiliations associated with membership in a clan, but would like to participate in the team competitions in DoubleDash and Melee this Saturday.
Also worthy of note:
I was referred to the confederation by Pickwick, and it is most highly and urgently (!!) recommended that he be awarded excessive, unparalleled and unprecedented, veritable bushels of points for this most noble and charitable act of service.

"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job. That's what I'm telling you."

u talk like pickwick so u must have been refered by him. not saying thats a bad thing. what are u guys for halloween. i know its kinda childish but i'm doing it for my 5 year old sister...

[gtlogo:TMC]

I agree with Tom that I know more about Kart than Melee. On the other hand, I'd love a shot at melee commentating. I'm fine with the sets as they stand now I guess. I think that switching the pairs up is a good idea. But me and Tom work well together, so I'd like to keep that pairing for at least some.

Anyways, I absolutely love that commentary will be quiet and away. That makes me beyond happy :-) :-) :-) :-D :-D !!!! :-D

[gtlogo:VMC]

Is this format with SSBM being the earlier of the featured games set in stone for future competitions??

Just wondering, since I would rather not miss archery on saturday mornings for the next couple of months.

I don't think I'm going to make it to either SSBM competition this month :( (my main partner is busy, in addition to preferring archery)

Mayb I should commentate be the TC rep. Eli can you make the voice deeper because if am commentating with a high schooler I'll sound like a little kid (well i guess comparitlevly I am) Or mayb a pre schooler who just woke up from naptime.LOL
Sweet I can come to the melee tourtament except I don't like melee as much as MarioKart Eli "The Awesome one" may I request a middle school MarioKart touney

Good news and bad news..
I am going to the gt. Obviously I am happy for this.
On the other hand, I cant show up to the SSBM tourney until 7:30. So I will be at SSBM tourney. But... mostly to cheer on my clan and my fellow clans (Vaccinated Monks "represent"-Major Tom).
So, see you all at the tourney.

P.S.
We got a few new recruits that ill get their sinature down at the gt or the SSBM tour:
Green Jeans
and uhh.... a few more that I forget their names right now.

I think I will be the only Vaccinated monk there. I think there is a pioneer football game so Tom, Leinad, and Beebles all are in band.

Why is the tournament under Adults?

uhh ok? I guess Ill b cheering on The Reds, Duck, and Green Jeans.
Its all because im getting there late that I cant do anything, unless eli will let me join late, with like since Ill be missing some games that I have less points. I dont care, I wanna at least play some.

ummmmmmm...yeah....i agree with tom...BUT
Eli-sorry u didnt get to reading my post...I'm not gonna be able to go to the tournament this saturday cuz its my mom's bday celebration.
I would be more than happy to commentate for the next one since theres nothing going on in my life then...That is unless i make hockey in which case i will be able to look at my schedule and inform you if i will be able to attend.
sravan-soory i cant commentate with u that woulda been sweet.
moses-u dont represent quagmire in any way shape or form sooooo dont try to say gigidy.

GO ASTROS!
[img_assist|fid=97|thumb=1|alt=Trouble Monkey Clan|caption=Logo for the AADL-GT Trouble Monkey Clan.]

I like futurama better then family guy. south park is stupid and simpsons are classic. i'll just commentate with galen then he hasent been on this blog in a while cuz hes playing counter strike a lot. duck its under adults cuz its for ppl also over 18. we could do the mixed commentating thing i don't mind but i know more melee then mkdd and they know more mkdd then melee so maybe we should switch if its ok with eli. yay we're actually gonna do 1v1s!

is it the top 8 clans or top 4 clans cuz it should be the top 4. 8 is too big a number.

also joe did danny f. go to greenhills for high school or middle school for a year cuz one of my friends at the party reconized him.
[gtlogo:TMC]

Good Morrow!
It seems, as read from the options available on the Registration page, as though the Friday competition is to be based on a single-combatant paradigm. The Saturday event is, of course, to be all four variations. The team sign-up function does not, however, seem to be operational quite yet.
Good Luck!
--------Pickwick the Second---------

Yes yes we all knowthe Team signup has a syntax error. I would guess it has something to do with the code Database since it says DB.

"Round up the usual suspects."
[gtplayer:139]
[gtlogo:VMC]

Good Morrow!
Quite so, indeed; I was merely responding to Sravan's query regarding the availability of team battles on Friday.
Good Luck!
---------Pickwick the Second---------

I think Eli put the commentators with Tom and Leinad on Melee and Sravan on MKDD because there is a better chance that those people will be sitting in the commentator booth longer with said event instead of then the other event. Also while you guys don't know everything about the game you certainly know quiet a bit more then most people.

We are doing top 8 clans because frankly it's more fun that way. 4 clans limits it to who can win tournaments.

A question addressed to all experienced commentators: What, precisely, is one who is to fit into this role to say? Thanks to the well-appreciated efforts of the Noise Machine, I was unable to hear a single word last month. Methinks it was good planning on Eli's part to pair me with a veteran... Duck, may I request your advice and/or aid tomorrow?
Good Luck!

Why is there no one else on the forum? It seems as though you all disappear after midnight, except, occasionally, Eli.
Good Luck!

Good Morrow!
Duck, I'm going to follow your advice and try to do without caffeine today; you may have to wake me up when you go to Analysis. Just a heads-up.
Good Luck!
-----Pickwick the Second-----

y are u pulling all nighters on school nights. eli said in an email that he wanted to do more then 1 event cuz more ppl get into the prize round if we do it like the mkdd ones last year. maybe we will make teams at the tournament cuz not everyone will show. well if we're doing the top 8 then the 4 last place clans will get owned anyway. again i will be there with a paper and pencil to record the 3 clans' scores. they are the ones that actually count. turtle clan, vaccinated monks, and troube monkeys. just out of curiosity duck what character does that stuck up guy that u want me to beat use in melee?
[gtlogo:TMC]

Eli - I accidentally registered for the Melee tournament on Friday which I will not be attending. How do I fix this?

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

a pansee i presume as well. leinad i guess u dont show up but if u do that then 3 ppl will have a 3 player battle and thats not good. at the august tournament everyone used swordsman but in the september one lots of ppl used fox and falco. they didn't know how to use them though.

[gtlogo:TMC]

I dont know about the rest of your computers, but the team signup was just fine for me.

Hey Pickwick, I actually like your idea of having coffee fueled all-nighters. Since I leave for school friday at 6 am, I wont be home until midnight because of a very long party after the ssbm tourney, I might as well pull an all nighter practicing for the gt.

heh, heh .....P

chiokee we'll figure it out at the tournament but yea i guess u can pre register u and galen for melee first and u guys will be trouble monkeys and we will be trouble monkeys 2. i'm thinking of a better name then trouble monkeys 2 and having it more halo 2 related. im gonna pre register with darksoul for melee.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Team registration is now functioning, indeed. Thanks for finding the bug.

Also, two new features for this weekend:

1) A self-checkin station for pre-registrants to speed your way past the registration line and into the open play before the SSBM tourney. SO PRE-REGISTER!

2) A new display in the gaming room with a continually updated scroll of the current event's leaderboard. No more leaning over geeks' laptops to see who's tops in qualifying.

P.S. As a Huron alumnus (class of '95, thank you very much), I must disagree with the assessment that the <em>"River Rat is a horrible mascot for Huron though"</em>... <strong>[http://www.aaps.k12.mi.us/huron.gen_info/school_history|Know your History!]</strong>

/*== [:/ejk|ejk] ==*/

Hey, I already know my history.
I just dont like being called a "Rat" because when I am, it is usually used as an insult. Its not that I hate it. Id just rather have something a little different because "Rat" is kind of used as a strong word.

Well, it's nice that the students actually cared about something that much (that would never happen these days, most of the students would just skip the class where you'd have to vote), so it's nice to see that sometime in the history of the universe, people our age could get together on something other than legalizing marijuana.

And I'm not saying that Pioneer has a better mascot, we don't. We just have a better marching band. Huron's march style is quite laughable. Pioneer Bands pwn Huron bands. To the max.

...

Like <strong>DANG</strong>.

Also, for a long time now, whenever I click on the "Vaccinated Monks" link in my Player Information thingy on the aadlgt board, it sends me to a page that lists our four members, but the logo is borken. Is there any way to fix that? It's not that important, just one of those little things that will nag you until you implode.

It would be much appreciated by that individual to whom I commonly refer by using the perpendicular pronoun, were any of those eminent persons with experience in the field of commentating to provide aid and assistance; I am rather worried about Saturday. Should I look up multitudes of obscure facts to bring up in conversation, or should I focus on what occurs on the screen?

I would second the opinion that Pioneer's marching band is superior to any in other in the area.

Of course, I'm not exactly impartial.

Sorry, as much as Pioneer rocks, Saline has a pretty pimpin marching band. But Pioneer's is still the purplest. :-)

pimpin and marching band don't go together. good that we have a fast pre registration line. maybe monkeyman if u give a tryout like joe. where is this seperate room with the commentators and 8 monitors gonna be? in my school we are the gryphons but at least its better then river rats. lots of ppl want it changed to the greenhills lawnmowers lol.

ASTROS WON!!! THEY'RE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YUSSSSSS!

PS river rats really suck. and i will tell you why.
The Story of Huron High.
Way back when, Pioneer high was named Ann Arbor high. Their mascot was the Pioneers. One day some liberal person in congress decided they needed a second high school. They wanted to then put it in the middle of nowhere, in which only 5 ppl lived at. People made fun of those 5 people who went to Huron by being called "river rats" since they were quite near the huron river. These 5 ppl were not the brightest of all, so they thought the ann arbor high kids were laughing WITH them. These 5 ppl then decided that river rats must be a slang for someone cool, so they made that their mascot. Generations after blindly continued this tradition without thinking that any kind of rat is frowned upon by all. Then Ann Arbor high had to change their name to Pioneer so that it did not sound superior to Huron High even though it already was.
[img_assist|fid=97|thumb=1|alt=Trouble Monkey Clan|caption=Logo for the AADL-GT Trouble Monkey Clan.]

I think Joe just hit the nail right on the head there, so to speak. And even though Saline's marching band may be pretty cool, Pioneer's is still the best in the area (you traitor :-P).

At last, a World Series worth watching. The White Sox haven't been there in God knows how long (though it might be because they don't know how to spell their name), and the Astros have never been. I'm really glad the Yankees didn't make it in. You know why? Because I hate the Yankees. I hate the Yankees almost as much as I hate... Well, I'm not sure, but the point is that I <strong>REALLY</strong> hate the Yankees.

Also, to answer Pickwick's comment (though I'm not quite sure who it was directed to), my general rule that I use (that I've come up with during the, oh, <strong>2</strong> times that I've commentated), is to mainly focus on the action on the screen, but if you come up with some interesting tidbit, or there is a break in the action, then you can go off on a short tangent, assuming it doesn't take a whole hour for you to complete a thought. (Let's just all pray his commentary is shorter than his comments on here, hmm? :-P)

Once again, I am quite angry that I won't be able to make it tomorrow night, I hope everybody has a lot of fun. Go Duck, Sravan, and anyone else who I like.

Oh, and beat that one guy who's over 18 for me. Show him how <em>real</em> players roll in Super Smash Bros.

If you don't know that story that makes you unpatriotic which is okay in Ann Arbor, but not so much in other places.
Joe I doubt you would know this, but the new high school is being built in the middle of no where. Huron was built for easy access to U of M because, more people from Huron go to U of M they wanted to make them close together. They put Pioneer near the football stadium because, that is the only way Pioneer people go to U of M.

Good Morrow!
Thank you, Major Tom! I promise to be among those to beat the specified entrant into the competition.
Regarding pr0's request: It is certainly a distinct possibility that I may be accompanied by the memory card which has the distinct honour of belonging to me; there is one question, however, which perplexes me. For what purpose is this to be done?? I realise it is somewhat late to pose this question, and, should you not be able to reply ere 11:30, I shall, of course, comply with your request.
<em>"Hey Pickwick, I actually like your idea of having coffee fueled all-nighters."</em> Good Heavens!!!!!!!!! Well, I must inform you that my observations of my mental state after performing three of the said all-nighters in one week, almost consecutively, have led me to the belief that it is not a good idea to deliberately perform said function on a school night; I will allow you to form your own judgment on the wisdom of doing so on any other night. In brief, some examples of my experiences with total lack of sleep for an extended period of time: A tendency to fall asleep with hand and head in air, while in the process of actively taking notes; A tendency to view the world, and everything in it, as being slightly unsteady and constantly shifting up and to the right; A tendency to wander, midsentence, in your notes without noticing(to this day, I wonder as to the meaning of 'braccgren', a 'word' taken from my Analysis notes; A tendency toward irritability and overt hostility toward any other being; and a tendency to vot...(or perhaps not, at least on this forum). You must remember, this was my state of being while caffeinated; I shudder to think of the result should I have missed my cup(s) of coffee in the morning. In conclusion, I have been sufficiently alarmed by the result of my experiences with lack of sleep that I have determined on going to sleep before midnight regardless of any task(s) I have not completed (Until, of course, the Robotics Build Season, which, to use a cliched phrase, is 'a whole other story.') So: take my advice and learn from my example! (I hope you weren't being sarcastic, because that would remove the whole point of this portion of my post.)
As to Major Tom's point of concern, rest assured, that I am not nearly so prolix through a verbal medium as I am in writing; I am used to this method of communication, wherein one may edit one's remark until it is perfectly tailored to the occasion for which it is required before submitting it for the inspection of all. Thus, it is my worry that I shall not be verbose enough, rather than the contrary. Your advice is much appreciated.
I have invited an acquaintance of mine, Finklestein, to the competition tomorrow and the one on Saturday; he has posted already, but I wished to acknowledge his existence, the truth of pr0's statement regarding him, and the undeniable merits of his injunction to award me many points. Duck has, I believe, a passing acquaintance with him that may never have involved the exchange of words or introductions.
With that,
Good Luck!

<em>And even though Saline's marching band may be pretty cool, Pioneer's is still the best in the area (you traitor :-P).</em>

if Leach won't let me march, then I'm only supporting the band 99% in protest instead of 100%.

Saline has a seperate marching band from regular band so, 1) They're made up of only people who want to march 2) I could have marched every game since freshman year at Saline (unless I didn't make it until the next year, I'm not sure how auditions work).

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

TP2- please stop talking. That is the story exactly how it happened and pioneer was built first so u dont make sense. Huron is more close to the hospital and wcc. Pioneer is located much more close to the university AND stadium. You just dont make sense. I dont like hearing ppl not make sense. And IDGAF if the new school is in the middle of nowhere...their mascot will probably be the highway hobos or frog lovers or something like that since they are near a highway and their schools supposed to house lots of frogs on the roof. They suck too for these reasons.

Wow I was beat by the kid that came in 2nd. The kid that came in 2nd got pwned by peach. It was the most one side battle i've seen in a while. My first match had Hank (the first place winner) in it and we both got bad scores thanks to IM and sudden death.

<strong>EDIT:</strong>
Nice job everyone for beating up alokin. He really wasn't as good as he thought he was, he was only on my level and I get beat up my several people. Yes I have more points almost to 4k.

Tonights scores will not count toward the season leaderboard; we just didn't get that change to the code yet. Thanks everybody who came to the Super Smash tourney, it was great.

Also, because Joe won't be there tomorrow, Tom and Leinad will be lead commentary for all events. Relief will come from Pickwick, Sravan, Duck, Mouse and Muffincat, as available.

I would just like to say that Pioneer is now <strong>definitely</strong> better than Huron.

Don't believe me? How does a 23-12 Pioneer win sound to you? Hmm? Sound good?

Also, VMC is gonna stomp the competition tomorrow. No question.

Good luck to everyone, it's going to be fun. :-D

sweet i'm #3 on the leaderboard now! tp2 cant make the november one so i'll pass him on that i hope. eli will we let the top 4 melee teams battle eachother for 1st-4th places? we did that for single melee.

if tp2 doesnt get a prize for the rest of the season he should get some sportsmanship prize cuz he came close 3 times.

i wanna play pickwick and tp2 1v1 is that ok with u guys?

Sravan sportsmanship is being a polite respectful player. Not coming close to winning.

Congratulations, tp2; you are a VERY, VERY good player!! I shall, of course, do my utmost to ensure that that particular turn of events does not recur, but we shall see how the future transpires. By the bye, who was the person that beat you?

Sravan and Val Laster (formerly known as Flare,) if there is time during the Open Play preceding the competition, I will, of course, be more than happy to duel each of you. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I am likely to reach the library only at 11:45; if this is sufficient time, which it may very well be, then I say this: Let the games begin!!!

Good Luck to all, and may the best clan win!

First off, no, he's not acting like it's a "secret fort", he's just telling us where it is, since Leinad and I haven't been there since the September tournament; Second off, I'm simply wondering that: since anyone with half a brain could figure out where it is, how on Earth could you find it without someone telling you; Third off, yes, other people will go in there, we've accepted that long ago, since, oh I don't know, We're not the only one commentating.

Finally, grow a brain stem you ingrate. Don't make ignorant and stupid comments just because you lost.

As for you Duck, I will bring the extra badges. In an earlier post I said:
250 pixels length

I, for once had found a slight issue for this. It needed to be a bit smaller so I made them:
235 pixels length
168 pixels width

The only problem is that I had already printed them out in the bigger size so I just have to deal with that.

Plus with free pop and snacks there basically are really large parties that last a whole weekend.

Oh yes your second question. No I'm not nervous. Even though I haven't practiced much I probably practiced more then most people. Plus I know I can win stuff and have commentated before. But you should do fine at both the competition and the commentating.

<em>"UGH! my clan did terribile!"</em>
As did mine; we only placed in two events. FES was absent, so Finkelstein was his able replacement. We were pitted against one another in the Melee semi-finals, which precluded our simultaneous advancement to the finals; had the match-ups been different, we would, of course, have taken first and second. The outcome of next month's competition will be rather different, I can assure you.
Many apologies for my tardiness are to be directed toward Val Laster and Sravan; we shall simply have to duel next time.
Congratulations to the winners!

PS: In the Team Mario Kart event, were the top two or the top four karts to qualify?

I think every clan did bad in that tournament. I played Rainbow road 3 times and mushroom city 3 times. Those are my least favorite coarses. This tournament seemed liked it had the hardest brackets and the most turnover.

Opps I just REGISTERED for the surprize round.

I think every<em>one</em> did bad that tournament... I'm not sure if any of the veterans placed significantly in the kart finals &lt;_&lt;

I too had some hard times on rainbow road though. Eighth place in the team finals on that course... yeesh.

this is D-rex posting on my brothers server:
The noise machine clan did good, all of our members qualifed. But isn't there a point bonous for placing in the top 4 of an event?

I think that everyone was killed by that crazy bracket with me, Ian, Sravan, jlgelinas, Tom and a couple other of veterans.

lets go noise machine. This is john D. and i dont care i am bring the drums to the next turny. I am goin buck wild on you and am going 2 b louder than ever

what if u lose the drumsticks again? for once the tournament ended on time! i didnt fill out a form again but i'd give it a 5. yes that mario circut race was crazy i placed in 5th but i won every single elimination race after that. i think either our clan won, tp2's clan, or the noise machine but i doubt that. i don't think tp2 and bad driver can make the next 2 tournaments! good news for all of us. yay i'm in 3rd.

sorry eli about the team mario kart thing that was all galen's fault lol as usual...

the trouble monkey clan at this tournament was- pr0, c0N, darksoul, and Val Laster.

sweet i;m the only guy in the top 5 who hasent won a prize! pirattey critter only has been to 2 tournaments and he is in 4th.

In reply to by TheKoolAidGuy

Okay first off I would say verybody saying they did pretty bad well i thought i did pretty good getting 5th in the finals in Mariokart i had never made it that far and i was in fourth until the very end when my brother passed me. In single player melee I did pretty bad but, in team I got third. In team Mariokart me and my brother got out in the first round man. i think TC won because no big clan won a lot of events and we got third in sur prize and good showings in all events except for single player melee where no one really did that good. Well run tourney I think the right amount of people and went with mayb just a couple less than desired qualifaction matches but, Finished on time. I think melee frst was a good idea because A lot of people did't qualify in melee and then went home and didn't play kart. sorry about the run on post.
Also T unit sub
Dave K. or just plain dave i'm not sur he was on a team wih Tru dog and got 4th in team melee

Good Morrow!
<em>"sorry about the run on post"</em>
Goodsir Bad Driver, for what cause are you expressing regret? Methinks it is but a little while since there were seen posts with a much loftier length, spanning all of five and two pages.

To all members of the despicable collective of cross-eyed, pinstriped, soon-to-be defenestrated badgers known as "Noise Machine:" If you bring your drumset next month, I shall take it upon myself personally to divest you of certain equipments necessary for the production of sound (assuming that Eli is not opposed to the use of temporarily, but not permanently, incapacitating force).

Speaking of which, I do believe that Most Honoured Commentator major Tom Coveney promised a reward for the removal of the Noise Machine's drumsticks during the second competition; my clanmate, Dragoon Black, performed the task, but has not received any sort of compensation. I hope that this error may be rendered antiquitous within a brief period of time, now that it has been brought to light.

Speaking of Commentators, I do believe we owe a furlong-deep debt of gratitude to our expert commentators, Major Tom Coveney, Leinad, Duck, Mouse, and Muffincat for their outstanding efforts!

Good Day!

PS: Mr. Peanut Gallery, it does not behoove you to parade your elevated status on the leaderboard as compared to those who have attained fewer competitions this year than the three which exist in your tenure, especially since, of the ten entities above you in the ranks, three have attended only two tourneys.

Why do we ignore monkeyman? Maybe because you're a kid while we're juniors and seniors. Plus you don't commentate or know anyone that is interesting, so we don't pay any attention to you. You're just a wildcard from last year.

I wouldn't mind the noise makers if they had any musically talent at all. As it is I find those Wire ties to make playing drums let only video games extremely difficult when they are used to tie your hands behind your back. Oh and doing that isn't violent at all.

You should check the facts before you strut like that to make sure you don't just look ridiculous. =)

I did ok at todays tourney. I think it was better than last time because I think I got 1,000 points. I got sooooooooooo close 2 making the surprize round in SSBM Team. I hate looking at the leaderboard and seeing that huge chunk of orange, and me being the lonely white in the middle of all that orange. Oh well, if I don't make it 2 the surprize round, it will be so easy because I wouldn't have 2 play u guys, yet. 22nd aint all that bad, is it? I clan points look bad because my 2 subs left just because they didn't feel like playing Mario Kart. They did really well in SSBM, though, but it cost us a lot of clan points The Loser and I were trying 2 make up 4. But we failed 2 do that. Those a**holes.

lol i love that analogy bad driver. pickwick what about me i was commentating! congrads to pickwick to winning twice in a row. bad driver i got 1st in single mario kart and i won all of my races except that mario circut one with 6 vetrans where i got 5th. darksoul got 2nd in the prize round and 2nd in single melee with all wins except 2(one was the bragging rights round). i won all my melee matches until the semi finals with 8 ppl left cuz of a stupid scissor pokemon(not that i'm complaining). in team melee we did really bad cuz we had to face u guys and it just HAD to be big blue and we got demolished congrads to u guys for getting 3rd but u should have gotten 2nd. actually the clan points should be farely close so i dunno.

black shark if u dont get in at the november tournament then u should be able to qualify for mkdd.

i'm suprised no new clans have joined. maybe cuz they only have one tournament left to qualify.

Eli would i ever not check facts before I post I knew very well where Monkeyman stands.

That Team race I wasn't driving because tom instisted he drive the team races. His clan only won because the Trouble monkeys made mistakes about partners. Also I had some of the hardest brackets at the tournament I had two matches in the whole tournament that didn't have multiple strong people stacked agianst me. One of those matches no one but Sravan and myself could play so Sravan won because his boswer shell got me at a unavoidable point (it was either get hit or fall off) so I lost my trump card early on. I finished only 3-4 seconds after him while everyone else finished 20-40 seconds after me. I know that other people had hard times but look TP2 basically received two bys in melee single player. Plus monkeyman only got in from one event while I almost made it twice even with my hard brakets.

Juniors and seniors are better than you because they can drive. you have no friends that can drive and therefore u suck. Oh and one last thing: u made your name from me and dereks team name u poser get a son.

Second, although you are currently high on the leaderboard, Tom and I have been coming to these tournaments since the first one last year. We've been around longer than and more active than anybody except Joe and John D.

leinad i was the first person who signed up for aadl-gt ever. i had my dad go and pre register on august 1st at noon in the main library cuz i was in india. yea monkeyman u are a poser just be quiet u have nothing more to say. duck launching the bowsershell was skill i did it at the spiral turn before the finish line on rainbow road and on the straight away before that huge spiral that goes upwards with all the rainbow strips. yea monkeyman i can't belive u practice mario kart i havent practiced since august and i got 1st in the event(it was a little lucky i'll have to admit). leinad and tom might not be as good at these games then everyone cuz well they are for gamecube but they probably know more about it then u do.

joe, pirattey critter got the 70$ but darksoul(meng) got the 50$ so thats 800 points for our clan!!!! darksoul got 2nd in single melee to pickwick and i got 1st in single mario kart. did u get my email?

tp2, dragoonblack is the most skilled fox player i have met, did u beat him? i lost to him at onett in the 1st round of eliminations on friday. there is also a automatic logo thing (i'm suprised u didn't know this) where i put [ gtlogo:(ur clan name which would be TCN or something) ]. except u don't put a space betweern the brackets and the mygtlogo thing i did that cuz i said syntex error. u can go to the my account page and put it in as ur signature(thats how everyone got their quotes automatically in). u didn't think we had to type our quotes every single time we posted did u? duck would have to type that gibberish every single time.

[gtplayer:139]
[gtlogo:VMC]

what about the noise machine clan? all 4 of their members qualified for the suprise round. eli can we please have only the top 4 clans in the clan cup?

also a suggestion for the next season- can we have more primary members in a clan such as 5 or 6 maybe more.

o yea on team melee just to save time we should always do single elimination. if we don't do it then there will be a huge tie breaker(this time we got lucky having exactly 16 teams with 2 wins). the only bad thing is jus like last time we might have 7 teams left and we only want 4 to qualify for the prize round. so eli had to choose the teams that were not already qualified for a mario kart event play. if this happens again then we should take one of the other 7 teams that lost and have them as a wild card based on their performance such as if they lasted till sudden death or not. it is very likely that most teams that lose will not lose in sudden death so if a team does lose in sudden death then they can be the wildcard. then there will be 8 teams and they will play normally till we get the top 4.

if there are 6 then i guess 2 wildcards. if 5 3 wildcards but if we don't have 3 wildcards we can choose 2 random teams of the 5 teams to face off and the loser is knocked out this shouldnt count for leaderboard points though.
[gtlogo:TMC]

Yes I did beat Dragoon Black, but I lost to ownerer who plays Falco.

When will the results come?

Monkeyman isn't a wild card, but that doesn't mean he is a veteran. I think he placed fourth in single player kart in round 4 last season.

Oh... Eli what happens if one of your clan members isn't here during the finals? Does the sub get anything?
"GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

Yeah monkeyman you may have beat Dragoonblack twice but that is only because you run away in 4-player battle and never fight until only 1 person is left. In the 1v1 you lost in the first round.

Yes the sub gets the prize.

"GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

monkeyman sucks anyway we all know why. as leinad said stop posting so little things in multiple posts. if u have a eli only question email it to him. haha i beat u bad at the open ssbm tournament. shiek sucks. i beat dragoon black in 4 player matches too. if thats ur method how come it didn't work this time?????????????????????
16 posts in 25 minutes...

[gtlogo:TMC]

If I suck then how come I'm in 11th overall? And my method didn't work because I'm not perfect, I make mistakes and I'm just not as good as the people that beat me I admit that. What I'm saying is if I suck and I'm in 11th then what about the 150 people behind me?
"GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

how come u have never won a prize in either of the years??? i belive everyone on the top 10 has won a prize except doomblaze cuz he is good at mario kart. scores arent everything monkeyman.
[gtlogo:TMC]

so I didn't win a prize so what I only joined at the end of last year. And you see I have a life outside of video games unlike you. The prizes are cool but I go to the tournaments for fun mainly.
"GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

first off Pro I haven't won a prize and you won your prize in the first tourtament were there were....Oh yeah 15 people so sure half of them are good players but, placing in the first isn't as special as winning in a later tourtament though the amount of money won hasn't changed. And monkey Man remind me what was happening friday night when you went to the melee only tourney.

pro everybody in the top5 has one a prize 6-10 i don't think have. i think the black shark clan wins the award of clan logo that best reflects clans name. Thus i post it
"Eli Is awesome"
[img_assist|fid=123|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

i have more of a life then u will ever have. i am probably 10 times smarter then u. u even go to ann arbor open. and i can see u are uncreative. we should really drop this though so i'm not going to say anything after this. bad driver there was exactly 32 ppl i think cuz it said only 32 ppl can come on the flyer but yea i guess u are right that it wasent much of an accomplishment. bad driver is better then monkeyman though. as good person and at video games. this time monkeyman can't say look at the leaderboard cuz bad driver is higher then him.

bad driver wtf r u talking about. our logo actually says "trouble monkey clan" and is way better then ur logo in the first place. the turtle clan logo looks good too. vaccinated monks does reflect the clan but its from halo. skillz dat killz is totally random.

anyway is anyone getting the ps3 or 360?

[gtlogo:TMC]

Thank you for ending that pro guys you need to stop having these little fights about stuff outside AXIS and Eli I just had an idea and hope some other people could comment and that is about maybe having the clan cup that friday night because most of the people in the top clans will miss just about anything to participate in the clan cup.
Reasons one
I'm not going to hide it i want a shot at winning
2 Eli how are you goinging to have a wildcard in melee and marioKart qualifactio in melee and MarioKart nd suprize round game for money and the clan cup in a 5 hour period i know your the master of making things happen in limited time but this seem unfessiable
3rd this would be a more enjoyable atmasprere because it won't be as crowded and no n00bs.

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

Bad driver the Clan cup and Finals are actually fissable now that I think of it. Since the finals don't have team events and the clan cup only has 32 contestants it doesn't take as much time as I thought it would. Right now we have 46 people quilified for the finals with maybe 16 more in the next tournament makes 62 people. Now the wildcard could take 1 and a half hours and add 8 or 16 players. So we have 78 contestants in a single elimination format for both events. So what 8 rounds per event to get 10 players quilifed from both events. Then 4 rounds of surprize game to get top 4. That takes maybe 2 hours. Still with 1.5 hours for the brutal clan cup. Easily enough time if we do single elimination team events. Then the 8 or less teams that quilifed play a different surprize game.

"Round up the usual suspects."
[gtplayer:139]
[gtlogo:VMC]

Phew, quite the frissom in here this afternoon. Let me answer some questions. First, Monkeyman, the 4 players who are playing for the winning clan at the clan cup are the ones who win the prize. Also, Monkeyman, the 4 players who are playing for the winning clan at the clan cup are the ones who win the prize. In addition, Monkeyman, the 4 players who are playing for the winning clan at the clan cup are the ones who win the prize. =)

So, if your clan has subs at the clan cup, they get the prize if your clan wins. I hope to have aadl-gt t-shirts for extra prizes as well. We will absolutely be doing the clan cup, the wild card, and the grand championships all on December 17th. First of all, we already have an adult tournament scheduled for friday night. On the 17th, The Clan Cup will be first (during registration and checkin), and will have something like team kart quals, team battle elims, and a suprise finals. The Wildcard tournament will probably be 4-player Melee Quals (because more people can play at once) and Kart elimination. Then the Grand Championships will follow that pattern, Melee Quals, Kart Elims, and Surprise Finals. I'm sure we can get it all done in time... this weekend was pretty smooth, and we still had 80+ people.

Also, while I would say the results are still preliminary, it does appear that the Trouble Monkeys won Round 3. As for the single player leaderboard, it does currently include the scores from the Friday night melee event, and it shouldn't, we'll fix that tomorrow. Watch for a detailed post coming soon. Round 4 is November 26th, the saturday after Thanksgiving.

Excellent. I like the set-up. It give a good amount of time for everything. Since the grands won't have 90+ people it should work out fine. Plus if half the people are eliminated out of qualifying it should run pretty fast in the eliminations. Except that i don't like looking at the competition. This looks to be a pretty cut throat finals with so many good players, at least melee wise. The Mario kart elimination will definitely cut a bunch of the Melee only people.

Wow just wow pr0 just about everything you said in the begining of your last post was way off: I get all A's with an ocasional A- or B+, I'm on the soccer team, I go to clague and I'm the most creative person I know! (if you don't belive me ask: Bad Driver, Doomblaze, earnist the chicken, J's coolio or any of my other friends the list goes on and on)and also it was funny how you said you had a life outside of video games and at the end of your post you asked who was getting the new video game systems.
P.S. I don't think single player mario kart winners got the bonous for finishing in the top 4
"GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

well monkeyman i guess i owe u an apoligie. r u in 8th grade? i was just curious if ppl were getting the consules too. the layout looks good the kart elimination eliminates the good melee players as duck said. if tp2 and his brother can't make it then theres nothing stoping the vaccinated monks and the trouble monkeys battling each other for the clan cup. so i think duck said we will have about 70ish players at the grands including the wildcard, so maybe the top 32 in melee move on then the top 16 in kart move on and there will be a 16 player suprise round. sounds good. o yea and everyone who is qualified for december might not come such as aaron who has only been to 1 tournament so far.

eli- if tom and leinad don't make it into the suprise round in november can me and joe do wild card commentary?

[gtlogo:TMC]

Apolligie acepted pr0 and I'm in 7th grade as is the rest of my clan other than J's coolio(8th)
I've got an Idea for the finals: I think that they should start a new braket and have the top 16 (or 32) point totals advance to the prize round but you get one tenth of your overall season score added."GO GOLDEN GOPHERS!!!!!!!!!" [gtlogo:SDK]

Monkeyman, you are an idiot. Thanks for your contribution, but if I had wanted to hear from somebody with your IQ, I'd be at my local supermarket talking to the vegetables. Is that a conclusion or simply the place where you got tired of thinking? You've got a big hole in your head, now shut it. When you are at a loss for words, your loss is our gain. As Robert Wilensky said: "We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true." Your post is the world's greatest proof of reincarnation; no one could get that dumb in just one lifetime. Your post is a tedious, homogenised, chameleon-esque scribble which amounts to nothing more than the demented cacophonous racket of a drugged lunatic banging loudly on kitchen pots and pans. Clearly, you spend way too much time in darkened rooms in front of your seven-year-old computer turning a whiter shade of pale. Go outside once in a while and breathe, before your brain starts to rot from all that festering stagnation and cognitive dysfunction. Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight (though if you did that, they would equal a post of, oh, ZERO LINES). The evidence that you are a nincompoop will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it ever so much more rapidly. If cluelessness were crude oil, your scalp would be crawling with caribou. I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. You are a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. You are a technicolor yawn. And did I mention that you smell?

*Sigh* I feel a lot better now.

Also, congratulations to everybody who won, and too bad to everybody who didn't win, myself included. I still had fun, and that's pretty much all I care about. Yes, the prizes would be nice, but not necessary, unlike some of you, who view them as a breath of life so precious that if it slips from your grasp, you reduce yourself to come and complain on these message boards.

Also, to people who want to be commentators, send Eli an email, give him an example of what you can do. That's what Leinad and I did, which is why we're in the position that we are. I'm sure Eli will give you a fair chance if he thinks you're good enough. I'd have no problem with it as long as you don't fill the air with "Ummm... Uh... Whoa! Look at that!", like many people have the capacity to do.

Again, congratulations to everybody (except Monkeyman, see above). Good night, and good luck. (or something)

OK, too much, guys, this was over 15 posts ago. Monkeyman's a good player and a good guy, it's not classy to lord it over him just because he's younger. Such hostility isn't professional.

Besides, Tom, if your points were salient, there would be Caribou in Saudi Arabia.

Eli, three things. One, you have to remember, 15 posts on this board <em>can</em> equal a period of about 5 minutes or so. Second, Monkeyman started this, so he has to be able to take what is given to him (btw, Monkeyman, wimpy response). Thirdly, how do <strong>you</strong> know that there aren't Caribou in Saudi Arabia???

And guyz, plz stop fighting Why can't we all just be friends! (sob sob) And yes u r good Pro, Tom u aren't doing too well and in my fair objective opinion... u suck at commentating, and I think Every One Else At This Tournament Would Probably Suck Too (yes including my clan and me, except maybe Earnest cause I find him funny, but we all have our own opinions and my post is too long, I must stop lest I turn into Pickwick... but then I'd probably be a lot smarter and better at the touraments... or maybe not. Anyway, our clan doesn't really suk, cause Earnest and J's Coolio weren't at the second tournamant. And plz make KArt elimination, cause I probably won't do as bad as I did on Saturday. I'm gonna guess there will be at least five different people critiquing my post and spelling, but I dont care

"y exactallally do u thnk im so dum" [gtlogo:SDK]

Well the problem with commentating is that it's hard. The whole process would be much easier if we had devoted our lives to playing the game (like American football commentators) and didn't have to constantly get up and play. The group of commentators I think is doing a pretty good job. On the whole we are bringing some insight to people that are watching. At the tournament the commentary doesn't matter but for CTN it is everything. The current commentators mainly Tom and Leinad make the tournaments have a sense of intelligence and don’t cause the tournament to devolve into a bunch of geeks pathetically fighting over who wins the prizes by playing childish games.

Who’s going to commentate for the Clan cup? Tom, Dan, Joe, pr0, c0n, Pickwick, I and (currently) even Black Shark are going to be in the clan cup. So that leaves only Mouse and Muffincat to be commentators.

Also I'm putting in a request that Figwit/Ria be allowed to commentate during the December finals. She will be coming for the holidays and is an eloquent talker. Plus it improves the male female ratio of commentators.

Nice a round 4k for my score. That was a low scoring round for me but it's not like points matter.

Those post were so useless. The sdk clan is now the second most annoying clan.

In about 48 hours there has been 72 new posts.
And you know something that I took time to notice? (alot of time)
about 30 sumpthin posts all belong to MonkeyMan argueing about his flaming Tom and Leinad.
I highly resent that, for that is a very big waste of forum space and my free time. First of all, MonkeyMan, you need to learn how to edit your posts so you dont end up wasting more space and making 4 posts in a row. I am losing my patience and I want it to stop.
BTW: Tom I really liked that really long flaming post, good one. (keep it up)

However, now that we see how he and doomblaze crapped all over the thread, I'm feeling a bit foolish for defending him in the first place. =)

Hey I was simple pointing out that our friends don't mix with their friends so we don't notice them. Mind you the VMC knows 1/4th-1/3rd of the players listed on the leader board and about 30-40 of the 80 people that came to the tournament on Saturday. Yet I only know Monkeyman and Earnist Da Chicken because I went out of my way to find out who they were. Of course everyone knows us even though we don't know all of them.

I just counted, and Monkeyman has more posts than anyone in this thread. He has 35, 31 of which are in the last two days. 31, coincidentally, is the number of posts total in this thread (as opposed to the last two days) by Duck, the second highest poster. Another interesting thing to note is Doomblaze, with About 15 posts in the past to days and hardly any prior to that.

OMFG Y ARE U GUYS SPAMMING SO MUCH I SEE 34 NEW POSTS IN 2 HOURS!!!!
anyway u guys can talk on the phone about this usless stuff but not here this is devoted to talk about the tournament, improvements, comments about the games, and how much we want u guys to stop spamming.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Doomblaze, I have several things to say to you. First off, you are an idiot. You made several posts telling me to shut up, or that I am a hippocrite, but I had not said anything for a long while. Second off, you are quite lucky I want to stay in good graces with Eli, unlike yourself and Monkeyman, because I have a flame stored up for you so virulent is would put the World Health Organization out of business trying to come up with a cure for it. Unfortunately, it violates the no foul language policy thankfully instated earlier by Eli, so I will not post it. If you continue with your actions, though, I might be forced to post it and live with the consequences anyways. Thirdly, you are quite lucky I don't know the location of your residence (where you live, in case you were too stupid to get what that meant), because if I did, I would be most inclined to come over to your house and give you a right good thumping, as the most honourable Pickwick might be most inclined to say. Fourthly, about your assessment of my commentary abilities, I'm going to push the envelope so to speak of the message board rules <em>(I apologize sincerely in advance, Eli and everyone else)</em>: <strong>Go **** yourself.</strong> I don't care what you think of my abilities, I'm having fun doing it, and by God, that's really all I care about. It doesn't trouble me in the least that some incontinent, incompetent, ignorant, insecure little boy no more advanced intelligence-wise than several lawyers combined with about half of the U.S. Congress combined.

To sum it up, you are stupid. In case you want something more eloquent than that, I've thought up this list, conveniently arranged in alphabetical order:
Doomblaze you are Stupid. You are: brainless, dazed, deficient, dense, dim, doltish, dopey, dotterel, dull, dumb, a dummy, foolish, futile, gullible, half-baked, half-witted, idiotic, ill-advised, imbecilic, inane, indiscreet, insensate, irrelevant, irresponsible, laughable, loser, ludicrous, meaningless, mindless, moronic, naive, nonsensical, obtuse, pointless, puerile, rash, senseless, short-sighted, simple, simple-minded, slow, sluggish, stolid, stupefied, thick, thickheaded, trivial, unintelligent, unthinking, and finally, witless.

Sorry to everybody else on here reading these messages, but I don't want to pollute my computer and/or waste my time and energy finding out this ingrate's email to send him this message personally, and I also think that some of you agree with me. As was pointed out today during lunch by Leinad, this issue is the only thing that myself, Leinad, Duck, Sravan, Joe, TP2 and others can agree on, which is a good thing. It's good for us veterans to unite together over something, even if it is something so pointless and useless as Doomblaze or Monkeyman.

Thank you, and goodnight.

Sheesh, Tom. I'm glad to see you don't care what he thinks of your abilities. I'd hate to see what your post would have been like if it was actually bothering you or something. As for you, Joe, I think we can all agree to leave people's Moms out of this.

Look, VMC, this kind of crap is beneath you guys. Don't feed the trolls. Anyone who reads this humdinger of a thread will find it plainly obvious who the doofuses are, but they might also find themselves with some opinions on who the arrogant jerks are as well. I'd like you guys to show a little leadership as some of the oldest, most theoretically mature players, instead of constantly spitting such (admittedly clever and entertaining) venom, and getting drawn into childish schoolyard pissing matches. Some of these guys barely understand what they're doing, but when they get such a rise out of you, they probably think they're doing it right. If you feel that you must respond, I think you can find a way to do so without relying so heavily on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem&quot; Title="For example, Tom, I think you could have made your points more saliently, more humorously, and more cleverly by simply saying something along the lines of 'Let's all thank Skillz Dat Killz for their stunning and erudite contributions to this amazing thread.

For one thing, as the Great Red Dragon says, never play an ace when a two will do, and for another, flames are their most impressive when the targets don't even realize what's happened.

how was that uncalled for black shark. tom u forgot the names don, luigi, sonny, sal, toni, and joey(i'm getting most of these from GTA3 great game by the way but very hard without cheats i'm still on the last mission and i can't fo it with cheats). well u guys if we take the noise makers for example after all of our complaining they stoped doing it also the lost that drumstick thing so i guess this is just like that sorta a fad, and these people will stop posting u see they haven't posted after 12 posts. i think that since its their first time on the blog they are getting too excited of what u can do with it and are posting a lot and spamming. lots of people did that too but they stopped posting after a while like that guy who was new to A2 but never came to any of the tournaments.

As much as I hate to point fingers/ blame Tom, Half of the VMC hasn't been complaining much at all. And the trouble monkeys aren't exactly innocent either.

Leinad the difference is that the VMC makes united attacks with 3 people. While Sravan is on the blog 24/7 Joe isn't so together they don't make nearly as many posts insulting people.

This has to end quite frankly i think there are other bias commentators and yet you diss monkey man for something he hasn't done. That isn't sporting to pick on somebody for lack of commentating abilities you haven't seen iy would be better to say a blind squriell could beat with his hands tied behind his back using his forehead. Yes that is pretty lame. Guys this site shouldn't be so negative. Some people have different talents some it is to play the game others to commentate others to organize brackets and some have all three. Lets be respectable of other people talents Thank you have a good day.

quite tp2. i think that was a compliment u gave me? w.e.

my bad for putting moms in the insults. i only use those insults when i dont exactly know the person and am real mad. soooo... i await the results of tournament #3 to see if im in the clan cup.

ahhh tp2 correction i WAS on it 24/7. i just had an afternoon nap it was refreshing! leinad 3/4 of ur ppl complained and 2/4 of us complained. so the middle schools don't have school tommarow but the high schools have a p.m. half day? and yea joe we are in. i see that the leaderboard is updated so tp2 no longer has a 1900 lead. when u click on someone's name it still says if they got a lot of 1st place finishes in the open melee tournament.

The only reason 3 of us responded is because he brought Tom and Dan into it when he insulted them. I was the only one that initially responded.

So it looks like the top 8 clans qualify for the clan cup. My clan is at number 8 and we should stay around at that area because I just got word that The Loser, Nilofar, My Partner in Crime Nick11, and I will all be attending the last 2 tournaments and don't let the near 50 leaderboard rank fool u(He missed Round 3), Nick11 will make it all the the way up top again and he already made the GC's. Good Luck Nick11! I hope that I wont have 2 reside 2 getting Santa and ur mom in a swimsuit again, because I hate how they left just because they didn't wanna play MKDD, which costed us a whole buttload of clan points. I feel pretty good about my rank(26). I'm now the highest ranked non-surprize round player. I got 1,000 points in Round 3 and I have improved soooooooo much on SSBM(I'm getting 2nd place so many times now, some being lucky), which I'm still kinda weak at. But having Nick11 back will be so awesome, we work better as partners(Even though The Loser almost helped me get into the prize round with SSBM, but we totally sucked in MKDD). But Nick11 is a really good friend and Omid is just a "VG partner". I can't wait!

Good Morrow!
I have had, and have, little time to post; apologies for my absence! Also, apologies to Sravan; that was merely a clerical error on my part.
I am, alas, forced by circumstance to issue a royal rebuke to one half of one of Major Tom's two electrically-delivered visible products of some form of combustion(the other 1.5 was/were very, very amusing!): Sir, it is unnecessary, as well as unbecoming, to stoop <em>below</em> the level of the riffraff through escalating the invective to include the use of expletives, implied or otherwise, which merely lowers the tone of the conversation.
And now, it is time for me to praise, in brief, my fellow Foreign Exchange member and longtime superior in Smash games, Dragoon Black. It is quite possible that he has the fastest reaction speed of anyone I have ever come across in my intercontinental travels; when he is playing at his full potential, it is difficult to smite him once, let alone multiple times, before meeting one's end. While Monkeyman may, perhaps, have been victorious in Open Play and even in the Qualification Matches, I do not view this as an indication of higher skill; rather, it seems to me that Dragoon Black made the unfortunate error of performing sepukku, or some other form of suicide, unnecessarily, and, of course, without prior intent. This is his only known weakness as a player, and we have trained sufficiently since then that a recurrence of the same tragic end is not likely for either of us. Next time, it is quite likely that he will take first, I will take second, and Finklestein will take third(assuming that we are not matched again prior to the finals.=( ) In short: Dragoon Black is amazingly good at Melee, consistently beats me, and is going to win next month!
Aside from that, I can think of nothing that requires urgently to be said, except that the Pioneer High School Robotics Club is amazing and that all Pioneers here should join at once, before we begin building the robot in January (then is it too late.) We raised $400 in credit from local businesses today(by which, unfortunately, I mean yesterday); go Samurai!
Good Day!!

Hey Eli, Omid(The Loser) wants 2 quit my clan and make his own. I'm ok with that as long as if he were 2 quit our clan, would The Black Shark Clan still have Omid's and Niolfar's points if I was 2 let them go? Let me know quick, Eli, ur answer decides what I should do.

Muffincat he has the combined costumes of himself, his brother, and his geeky parents. His dad has some of the coolest Halloween decorations in town. I seriously think there are more costumes then normal clothes in that house.

As well as you Monkeyman and Doomblaze, I may not be speaking as a RED here because my clan usually visits some RPG forum of .Hack or sumpthin...., So ill be speaking as a VMC guy because even tho I havnt been to the gt before this season, I have known Tom, Leinad, and Duck for several years. They are great talkers which makes them great commentators. You should have no right to be a commentator obviously because of your constant spamming rendering you as a horrible speaker full of fillers. No one wants you to listen to you two.

right now I am at the library. I came for the so-called ddr tourney, and me and ian, a friend from school, end up seeing it is canceled or something. We had a handout that it was today too......

In reply to by Quick Basic Nerd

DDR today? Whaaaa? Young Link, where did you hear about this, and where did you get this handout? Can I see it? If it really said there was supposed to be a DDR tourney today at the library, than someone has gone rogue.

Also, you guys were right, I missed the bonuses for the Single-Player Kart, those are added in now. However, there's nothing wrong with your scores; if you add them up by hand, be sure to only take half of any team event scores to get your total, as duck said.

I know that mouse's score is right but when you go into the overveiw where you see the events you can only see the round 2 events.

The arrest of 2 men might be a break in Ann Arbor street robberies that began this summer. Since july 1, there have been around 30 robberies in areas populated by U of M students. All of the victims have been men between 18 and 24 years of age. The majority were also students. Police believe a loose group of young men to be the criminals.

The arrests were made while investigating the latest robbery. In that robbery, a 23 year old Ypsilanti township man was walking on the 400 block of Ashley street around 2 a.m. when he heard foot steps. He was then knocked to the ground and forced to give up his wallet and cell phone. A while later police found a van that matched the one of getaway car from a similar robbery earlier that week. The two passengers fled.

The driver was arrested after property from the latest robbery victim was found in the van. Later one of the passenger was found hiding in the area. The two men are a 18-year-old Bellville man and a 18-year-old Ypsilanti man. The second passenger has not yet been found. The 2 a.m. street robbery was the third one that night.

Three pioneer high school students were arrested for the Aug. 22 bank heist at the Key Bank at 2207 W. Stadium Blvd. Charles Heath and Brian Jackson face armed robbery, bank robbery, and conspiracy charges. Brian White also faces conspiracy and bank robbery charges even though he never entered the bank. They will be tried as adults and face up to life in prison if convicted on all charges. The charge of armed robbery is two year minimum sentence.

The arrest of the three young men was a surprise to every one. None of them previously had a criminal record or had any serious disciplinary trouble at school. According to prosecutors, Heath and Jackson robbed the bank while using a toy gun. They left with about $19,000 after demanding $50,000. White told authorities that he let his friends use his car, not knowing that they planned to rob the bank.

The three teens were released a short while ago by posting bond. The release bond was originally $100,000. The family of Brian White paid that much to have him released from jail. But after a hearing, the judge allowed Jackson to be released if his family posted five percent of the original bond and Heath to be released if his family posted ten percent. They were no longer inmates as of Thursday October 6.

Good Morrow!
<em>"Wow! Pickwick actually didn't say good morrow!"</em>
This is an event the like of which has occurred precisely three times prior to this last. Basically, it occurs whenever I feel that typing the words 'Good' and 'Morrow' would place far too great a burden on my psyche, or that they are unnecessary in order to convey the point I have in mind when in the process of composing a post. The latter comprises a total of 73.4% of the four, while the former occurred in a mere 22.83% of the referenced posts(some of the potential yield was lost due to experimental error).
I feel that, while it is unnecessary to elaborate upon the circumstances surrounding the first of the two several paradigms, more may be said of the other. The post in which I did not utilise the standard form of greeting for the fear of straining my mind, which, under most circumstances, is in possession of a keen intellect, a remarkable grasp on a wide variety of issues, a deep and discerning nature, a ready acceptance of new ideas, and, not least, a supersaturated ego; the post in question, I say, was in response to a comment made by the honourable Leader of the Leaderboard regarding a substantial quantity, nay, a veritable Olympus Mons of homework, which struck me forcefully as being representative of that situation in which I found (and find) myself, which shock proceeded to lead me in the feverish pursuit of crafting a slightly humorous, if also slightly morbid, reference to the inordinately large quantity of caffeine a relatively busy high schooler (especially a junior) must, ineluctably, utilise over the course of the school year in order to complete a significant percentage of their assignments.
This doesn't make much sense even to me, but I have in consolation the knowledge that some here do not trouble themselves to read my posts. To the rest of you: know only that I sympathise with you; I, myself, do not often take the time required for the perusal of my trademark <em>'Walls of Text'</em> once they are considered complete, finding it difficult, at times(especially early in the morning,) to follow the lengthy and convoluted chains of thought which characterise my style of writing. It is thus that I post at length so seldom, as there is little enough time in the day for the completion of homework, school, and other competing obligations.
Again, I find that I, having lost, in transit, the so-called 'point' I had wished to make, merely spout, in a manner vaguely reminiscent of mournfulness, arrangements of characters referencing, in a tone that could, perchance, be considered of a variety that is widely considered to go well with cheese; thus it is, that I shall wish, to those of us who are engaged in a life-or-death struggle mit kleine Kinder, viel Glueck, und viel Spass! Bis Morgen, Herr Ente-ein-viel(Mr/Sir/Captain Duck-a-much)!!

I'm afraid that translation of the previous message provided little difficulty. Next time, you should encrypt your message in some form of cipher, such as a Rotation Code, RC-5 with 64-bit encryption, Enigma, or the tried-and-true-while-remaining-rather-easy-to-solve Substitution Cipher. If you had encrypted your previous message in RC-5, it would be virtually impossible to solve without the key; trying each of the possible arrangements at the rate of several per second would still take some years. Just a thought...

"For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it."

Darrell James Burrows faces 11 felony charges. The 27 year old man robbed a bank and was in the following car chase, in which shot were fired. The charges he face are: assault with intent to commit murder, fleeing and eluding, bank robbery, receiving and concealing stolen vehicle, and many other weapon charges. He is being held at the Washtenaw county jail. Bond was denied.

Around 11:20 a.m. a masked gunman robbed a bank on Plymouth Rd. To escape the robber used a car police say was stolen in a carjacking earlier that week. Soon there was a car chase. In that chase the robber fired at the officers. The shot hit pickup truck and no one was injured.
