AADL-GT Round 4 Webcast

by eli

We are having technical difficulties getting the webcast running. Unfortunately, we will not be able to broadcast today. Apparently, CTN dropped our signal as well, so there will not be any TV broadcast.

Thanks for your patience, and post here if you have any questions.

That really sucks I wanted my friends to see me on television.
But any ways I really had a good time.

GAAAAA this is the only one I had my Grandpa ready to record.

here are the results:
for single melee i think trudog won with capn' and ownerer taking 2nd and 3rd and i think doomblaze taking 4th. team melee me and darksoul won with ownerers team 2nd, monkeys of doom 3rd and capn's team 4th. single mario kart a newcomer won, then moses...then me and 4th was pickwick the second. in team mario kart the monkeys of doom won and me and darksoul got 2nd, vaccinated monks 3rd, and not sure about 4th. the game was mario party 4 and i played ownerer and lost barely we each had 2 wins in first to 3 and he bought the stratagy guide man. anyway he got 2nd with monkeyman taking 1st, pickwick 4th and not so sure about 3rd.
without u guys there competition was easy.

joe are u retiring after this year aka ur not gonna play next year?

[gtlogo:TMC]

Wow. Just wow. Who buys a strategy guide to a <em>Mario Party</em> game?

Oh, I'd also like to point out that I am now qualified for the Grands <strong>even without</strong> the Clan Cup entry, so all the haters need to stop hatin'.

Pro you got some stuff wrong, doomblaze was third in single mele, and the newcomer that won single kart was dale he also won 3rd overall.
Yay leader board is up and im 4th overall! and SDK is in 2nd! does that mean we won the tornament? they still don't have the bonouses up for qualifing yet bu we'll do even better when they do, because i doubble qualified and Doomblaze tripple qualified but both of mine are for team and 2 of his are team too though.

dont worry tom its not starfox assult. i hope we can increase the number of members in a clan next year and give a consulation prize to each clan tournament winner like a t-shirt or something i know the library has a 1000 of those.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Will there be TV broadcast for the Grand Championships, and maybe 4 the Madden Tournament 2?

[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

omfg i lost to ur sister in DDR. HOLY ****. meh i dont have the game so i dont care. we should have a halo 2 tournament. before you say no u can make all the players' parents sign a form saying i will let my child play halo 2. it would attract a different crowd to the library and trust me a lot of people will come. we could do different tournaments like a team slayer then a every man for himself with head to head as elimination and rumble pit(every man for himself, more than 2 players) as qualification. we could do 2 people for each tv so u can see all of ur HUD so 16 people playing at once. for the prize round we can do something special like oddball or king of the hill. as for maps and game types we can use the xbox live play lists because those are user submitted meaning most people like them. maybe even 6on6 CTF occasionaly.

[gtlogo:TMC]

lol sravan i agree and im not retiring prolly...

oh yeah and one last thing: I HATE THIEFS if u are one or know one, im puttin a curse on u so that u wont get laid until you are forty years old. and yes i do have an special bond with my ipod...we've been through so much together...sniffle sniffle

One problem with your Halo 2 plan, guys. If we did do a Halo Tournament, most of you would not be able to play. Halo is rated M, which means a Halo tournament would only be open to people 17 and up. Besides, you all know that I find FPS dull and uninspired, and the uproar that a M-rated tournament would produce does not come from the parents of the attendees. Sorry, maybe someday, but not yet.

u guys r lucky we weren't there we own Mario Party in fact it was our first game so we haven't played in awhile but, we would have won all the ones were u don't just pressa rapidly.
Also Tru dog didn"t win melee.
when i am less busy AKA just getting back from PA and having to do all my homework i have a set of rules i won"t to post and ment to post at my grandmas but, didn't have time because i saw and i am sure everybody else saw the fights going on between individual partys the week before the tourney. And yes i finished in the top 20 although i was going to do good probally in the top 10 because i was practcing melee and was slowing getting better as the tourneys went on. Good job Monkey man and black Shark how did u get that many points without fininsing 4th or better. Sry bout the grammar

Gah, i have to work on a stupid project for nine hours striaght, starting at 7:00 this morning, I think our clan won this tournament, because we r now in 2nd when we were in fourth, and im in fifth
Doom Shalt Blaze!!![gtlogo:SDK]

since its rated M u should let the parents know that their kid will play it and if they dont like it then they dont have to sign the form. how can u find fps dull i mean there is so much action. i bet its a paticualr fps game that u dont like cuz u can say the genere of fps is dull i mean BOOM HEAD SHOT.
eli is the TMC's score wrong when i added up the 4 members it came to about 17500 but with that august mix up it should only take away 500 max.
before we had 16100 and now we have 16300 but i got 550 points individually and darksoul got 350.
[gtlogo:TMC]

What do u mean without finishing 4th or better? Do u mean by how I should have finished in the surprize round, or if I finished 4th or better in the events? I got a lot of my points from Mario Kart, even though I did do ok in SSBM.

In reply to by California Love

I just realized that I'm now #17! It must have been because of that 300 point bonus I got for qualifying to the surprize round.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

Man can you get it into you head that Eli like myself doesn't find them interesting because the so called "action" is just a bunch of dancing around trying to get a head shot on the other person. The deathmatch and head to head stradegies almost don't exist. I'm mean after you get the guns you want there isn't anything beyond that. The game is decided by the person that twidles there thumbs the fastest and has the most experience with the game. As stated by Evil bus driver in another blog he mastered the glitch, <strong>THATS RIGHT GLITCH</strong> it's wasn't put in on purpose it was a mistake that gives an unfair avantage, where he targets someone with the rocket luancher and then flies across the field to kill someone with the sword.

Tom don't worry they just haven't gotten around to highlighting names. Also I did hear Eli say something about Star fox being unfair at the tournament and that it would not be the surprise game. (It's not as unfair as madden is and was)

there are a bunch of more glitches than that and what are the odds ur gonna get a sword and rocket they both arent on any map except the really
big ones. the glitches are not unfair advantages beacuse they are open to everyone its just if u modify ur xbox or something to make ur guy move super fast thats cheating.

There was a survey done some years ago that determined that, to many Americans, a Southern accent indicates an inferior intellect; you could use that to present a deceptively foolish image of yourself, then capitalise on the misperception to pull off a victory, Mr. Black Shark/Moses/Noah!!

In reply to by Pickwick the Second

I have just discovered a new talent of mine, that was previously unknown: I can inadvertently lose papers, to such a degree that they are irretrievable, in fewer than five minutes! Such is the sad fate of a history assignment I worked on for three hours...
BAD PICKWICK!! BAD!! Go to your box!

It's kind of ironic that the one tournament that I wasn't there for was the one where the surprize round game was one I owned.

Duck shooting games are the games that take the most skill. In shooters you don't lose and then say "he got a lucky item". If you have ever played a shooter that supported voice chat or even team type chat you'll realize that there is a lot of strategy. Of course console shooters (which you must be basing these judgements on) don't use strategy. They are really just designed for someone who doesn't have high speed.

I'm in favor of doing a tournament at the library involving a shooter. I think that we should have a LAN party. We could play some old game or tell everyone to download a certain demo that has multiplayer. Since it would be team based we don't need to give out prizes. Eli even if you do find shooters unenjoyable you could still host this tournament.

"TORTURIS EXUVIAS EUNT"

My elder brother recently attended a Halo 2 Tournament at the University of Michigan (he's pretty good even though we don't own an XCrate), and said the winning player was so good that he got a head shot with every bullet, and walked around sniping people in said area of the body without zooming in. The attainment of that level of skill would involve one being attached to one's game console for roughly one third of each day for a substantial number of weeks.

In reply to by kearsun

No, it was the "Amistad" sheet, which was probably worth twice or three times as much; 2:35 to watch the movie, and a half hour or so(maybe up to a full hour) writing the questions up.
I found it, though...it was underneath--not merely inside, but actually underneath--my couch, which makes little sense to me, as I wasn't watching the movie or taking notes there.
How did yours go, and are you going to be ready for the Rough Draft deadline? (Buahahahaha!)

TP2 you seem to have missed my point completely and went straight to arguing. Sravan was proposing a free for all system of tournament for one of the elimination round. I'm not an idiot I know that team tactics are what makes and breaks a teams match. I wasn't even addressing that because I not only read it wrong but a team vs. team tournament because I think logistically it would fail miserably. I was simple pointing out that free for all is nothing but a bunch of guys running around shooting anything that moves.

Plus what part of "One problem with your Halo 2 plan, guys. If we did do a Halo Tournament, most of you would not be able to play. Halo is rated M, which means a Halo tournament would only be open to people 17 and up. Besides, you all know that I find FPS dull and uninspired, and the uproar that a M-rated tournament would produce does not come from the parents of the attendees. Sorry, maybe someday, but not yet." -Eli didn't you guys get. Let’s see if we did do one only Tom, Leinad and ……wait wait let me think…… NO one else could play.

<strong>Edit:</strong>
Maybe when you guys are 17 or 18 they will have a halo tournament but right now the program is young and could be killed by very few people complaining.

In reply to by Leinad

wow tp2 proposing a LAN party is a good idea. i have had 4 LAN parties each with 2 xboxes(one with 3)and they have all been a blast. duck smash is rated teen but 12 year olds like monkeyman are playing it. even though its rated M as long as the person's parents agree to it, it wouldnt matter. its like a R rated movie u have to have an adult there with u. leinad i have a hunch that me, galen, joe, or darksoul could beat u but i'm not sure cuz ur older and wiser. i was thinking of having a LAN party winter break too. duck the FFA games take skill u dont depend on your team mates to win the match for u. i recall u didn't want 1v1 elimination cuz u said they lacked skill and u wanted 4 player where people could stall. in halo u have to get kills not survive the longest(there is one mode like that but its irrelevent). in my opinion halo 2 takes more skill then double dash but maybe not melee. tp2 consule shooters take skill and u are correct they are for people with slow internet connection.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Sravan, I've only played Halo 2 a few times, not owning an X-Box myself. I was refering to a 17-18 only age group tournament (just Tom and I). With that kind of competition, I could easily take second place. :-)

<strong>WARNING</strong> this is only intended for prO and contains language some would find offending so please skip over it if you would be offended. It contains language that I do not usually use and normal would never put onto a public form but I have to send a message into prO’s head and I have turned to viciously drilling it into his head.

Pro you have perhaps the worst memory I have ever witnessed. First off I wanted 1v1 way back when but Eli decided 4 person free for all so I went with it and then 4 days before the tournament he decides to change it to having a 1v1 portion which I didn't like because I had been practicing 4 player and didn't want to have to change my playing style. Next <strong>what the hell can't you get out of <em>"the uproar that an M-rated tournament would produce does not come from the parents of the attendees."</em>-Eli He MEANS THAT ALL IT TAKES IS ONE PERSON THAT IS FRIENDS WITH A LIBRARY BOARD MEMBER TO BECOME A "CONCERNED CITIZEN" AND GET US SHUT DOWN. ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK ONE HALO TOURNAMENT FOR THE COMPLETE PROGRAM? INSTEAD OF THOSE 5 YEARS OF YOU WINNING MONEY FROM THE TOURNAMENTS YOU COULD BE SITTING AT HOME WISHING YOU HADN'T BEEN SO STUPID. NOT TO MENTION SOMEONE COULD GET FIRED BECAUSE OF PUBLIC OUTCRY</strong> I mean come on how much of a f*****g idiot do you have to be to not get that. Also 12 year olds playing a game that is for the age group a single year above them isn't a bunch of 13 year olds, like you, playing a game that minimum age is almost 1.5 times there age. If you remember (Like you could) Melee was added only after being carefully considered by the Board and Eli didn't even present Soul Caliber II as a choice to be added to the tournament because he knew it would be turned down for being to violent. Soul Caliber II doesn’t even have blood so how can you hope to get Halo Approved.

I'm almost certainly going to get banned for this but oh well I'll have made my point.

the warning duck but, i think we should still refrain from the that vulgar language and put a certain about of diginty back to the blog. That takes me to the beggining of a possible code of laws for the blog and rule #1 would be respect evryones opinons especially eli's
Also i would like to metion out of the three prominet 6th graders last year(tub of lard, me and M.M.) Monkeyman has done the best this season.
Good luck in December
"Eli Is awesome"

One of the librarians edited it. Sravan I've been a little flustered so that's why I didn't respond in my normal non-vulgar way. Thanks you provided a good outlet so I'm feeling much better now.

Talem is the cheapest character besides lizardman. She just keeps linking attacks and since she is in the top 3 for fastest attack her attacks are very hard to break. Lizardman has the most unbalanced attacks in the game his attacks tend to ring out and he has a throw glitch that I think allows you to link throws. Ha-ha I do the same thing with Yoshimitsu.

we would be better off without u for obvious reasons...
thats too bad hes a nice guy. hes frikin tall i mean hes taller than me and i'm older than him and i'm considered tall for my age(5th tallest guy in our grade even though there are 40 guys). well the clan cup is team events so SDK is gonna suffer in the clan cup without doomblaze.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Bad driver, you forget about ME. I believe i'm the best at MKDD and SSBM out of all of last years 6th graders, since Monkeymans ahead of me because I helped him qualify in team melee, and I think he would agree with me if I said I was slightly better than him. he does own like CRAZY at booksquirm tho, and I think our clan was lucky that that's what it was. I also think that qualifing 4 the prize round gets u 100 points, but I could be wrong. If im not wrong, I should b third right now. GJ MONKEYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doom Shalt Blaze!!![gtlogo:SDK]

I quilified too so your not getting ahead of me. Not to mention you already got your points in full like everyone else so where you are now is where you are staying. Plus you can't do math 100 more points would still put you below me leaving you in fifth we you are now.

Doom... Shalt... BLAZE!!![gtlogo:SDK]

To qualify for the Prize Round, you must place fourth or better in an event, the attainment of which position garners you a substantial point bonus of its own. Thus, there are no points awarded specifically for earning entry into the prize round.

joesmo, you have Geometry with Mrs. Kaercher during 4th hour, do you not? What do you think of her as a teacher(I had her too)?
And, yes, my brother is crazy in many ways; which, precisely, were you referring to?

yes i have her and i think she could teach better but w.e.
i was referring to your brother's crazy priorities like doing homework in class and in class solving random problems like converting meters to miles and dumb stuff like that...he also stays up too late and is in ap chemistry which makes him crazy smart.

PS do you have any of the math problems from that class that i could...borrow?
[img_assist|fid=97|thumb=1|alt=Trouble Monkey Clan|caption=Logo for the AADL-GT Trouble Monkey Clan.]

The current clan size seems fine to me. Why break what's already fixed? Coordination would be a bigger problem than it already is, as six busy people will rarely be available on the same date; this would lead to the use of even more substitutes, which would disintegrate the individuality of clans. My vote is 'no.'

I'm afraid I can't (or won't) help you there, joesmo.

Eli, I just need to know, when r u highlighting GC newcomer's names like me, Tom, Ownerer, that new guy Dale W, etc.?

[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

sry Doomblaze i forgot about u. now i don"t thinku can sy you are the best in MarioKart i know u won single player once but, i have won co-op twice one might say it is mostly by brother and one might be right but, my brothers single player mariokart high
point is getting fourth in the finals when i got fifth. DoomBlaze u might be better pointwise i feel 2 lazy to check.
Also i think we should make a code of conduct on this blog to encourage more people to post regurally because recently this blog has been very unfriendly. Also considering that almost 300 different people have gone to those tourtaments and about 6or7 post regurally all except Moses and pickwick from last season.
so hear is my list
1. respect all players
2. respect Eli and that he has a life outside of these tourney;s
3 use no vulgar language at all. u have no excuse because u can read your post before u post.
4. Respect that everyone has different talents and people come from all different skill levels.
5 Please limit yourself to one post a day .
i think if one of these infractions is broken regurally especially Number 1 and 3 Eli should impose a ban for a short period of time
thank u
"Eli Is awesome"

pickwick is right there will be too many subs. if one person says something like black shark, then we will all flame him till he stops what he was doing for example spamming.
Edit:some clans might not have members in the top 20 cuz they missed a tournament. we are in top 15 and 2 members missed 1 tournament
2nd edit:flare is a good melee player doomblaze sometimes i can't beat him. i noticed while i was commentating on u, u changed from link to marth why is that? in my opinion though marth is better.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Here is the analysis of the Top 8 clans going into the CC GC's:
8. Black Shark Clan(my clan): 2 out 4 in the grand championships
7. Noise Machine Clan: all 4 in the grand championships
6. Super Shrooms Clan: 2 out of 4 in the grand championships
5. The Foreign Exchange Clan: 3 out of 4 in the grand championships
4. Turtle Clan: 3 out of 4 in the grand championships
3. The Vaccinated Monks Clan: 3 out of 4 in the grand championships
2. Skillz Dat Killz Clan: all 4 in the grand championships
1. Trouble Monkey Clan: all 4 in the grand championships(the only clan to have all 4 in the top 20)

Results may vary because of clans who won the tournaments previously.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

But we still have all members in a clan that quilifed for the clan cup quilifed for the GC. So all members in all 8 clans are in.

Bad driver- ya, I might not be best in double dash, and I might just have been lucky in melee cuz on Saturday I faced Flare, Big tummey, and D-rex in the eliminations, all of whom I knew I could probably beat in a 1 on 1. I agree on your rules for the "code of conduct" except maybe just post once, I'd say just as long as u don't spam Monkeyman, Earnest and Beast- get a sub 4 me! don't rely on Guappo cuz from what MM told me, he probably won't come. And pro, ty and im the tallest guy in my grade by I think 4 inches. I think no to more primaries tho, it would get pretty confusing, unless u give me a lot of good reasons, and I agree wit Pickwick

No, the clan cup will take place on the same date. Moses that was really aweful grammer. Yes they are, Eli said he was doing that before the last tournament.

Eli, will the melee quilfication be 4 person free for all or 1 v 1.

WAIT!!!
Eli, I dont know if eric had it down in the computer but, I had Piratey Critter and Ownerer agree to be my clan Substitutes for SITH Lord and SITH Apprentice who were not there. This applies for Round 4 and only Round 4.
I have done the math and I got 2,670 extra points towards our clan!!! (I didnt mess up on the teams either)
I also heared that the turtle clan wont be there, so will you plz take them out of the standings plzzzz? This is like the one chance that I can get my clanmates in the grands. They really wanted to and I dont wanna dissapoint them.

EDIT: Im being nice right now so. I just noticed that Noah isn't Qualified for the GC. It doesnt say I mean. But didnt he get into the Sur-Prize Round, Round 4? It says it under all his matches.

E.B.D. only me and my brother aren't going to be there. i don't know about Paduck and bowser. Even if they couldn"t come we would probally fill it up with subs. Also your friends can get in through the wildcard.
So everyone likes them except #5 well i think that can go. I will wait to get eli"s thoughts if he likes them he might put them in the sign up thing so when u create accountu well know the rules so this blog is more user friendly.
sry doomblaze u might be the best MarioKart i don't know
finally i had an idea to give the winner at the end of each tourtament something like a trophy like u did in the grands. it might sound little kiddish but, all other types of sports and events have them and instead of saying taking home the money u could take home the hardware.

I agree with all of Bad Driver's rules. Two comments - I think that Rule four should be changed to include different amounts of time to practice, and in defense of rule 5, remember that you can edit your posts. I get by with only 1-2 posts a day most days. (and 2 posts a day is pretty rare)

OMG, Eli, I don't want to rush u, but I think my name in the leaderboard "WOULD LOOK GOOD IN ORANGE". Please hurry up, but don't hurry up 2 fast, I don't want to rush u, but please hurry up, except don't hurry up, and rush at it, without rushing. OK? O, don't forget Tom, also

u sort of are rushing him by asking him for THE SIXTH TIME. did i tell u if u look up impatient in the dictionary it would have a picture of u in it ^_^. so who here got the email from aaron?
EDIT: dissing someones friends is not a good idea especially with profanity(i see a flame coming)

Evil Bus Driver, I have seen the clan leaderboard and, well, u r the only good player in ur clan as it looks like. Face it man, ur clan looks like s***(excuse the profanity, but at least I used *'s), U r the clan, Evil Bus Driver, ur an evil bus driver, but all the rest of ur clan r drunk drivers. So bottomline is, ur good, but the rest aren't, u really should have recruited better, I thought u would have joined the Vaccinated Monks this year, aren't u and Duck tight or somethin'?

Black Shark there is no need to say something like that. EBD knows his clan mates well and they are his friends that’s’ why they are in his clan. If you didn't notice he made his clan on short notice so he didn't have time to scout out great players but he wouldn't just form a clan with random decent people like you. EBD is a friend of Tom, leinad and mine. Next year he will most likely be in the Vaccinated monks due to loss of older members.

About the one post per day rule I think it sould be a no more then 3 posts per day per thread.

you want to know something Black Shark, I think I'm doing quite well in the gt. the reason We are not doing to good, as duck said, is that we were recruted late. I myself did not come to round two and the siths had to go out of state for round four. So I would appreciate it if you would refrain from saying stuff like that because it makes you look like an idiot.

Bad driver, i don't really care if im the best at dd or not, i'v learned that bragging get people mad at me ,then i get owned, then I get mad at them and own them, but when they get mad at me again im still running on an adrenaline rush so I still beat them. usless they're better than me. Ok ya, that was pointless, and i agree with moses that Evil bus driver is the only good person in his clan, and that he should switch with Lienad cuz then the VMC would be more challenging to beat and they would almost be in second place like US, even tho he's with his friends which might matter more than the tournament. Monkeyman, if u insult tom again at this point Beast would get pretty pissed off cuz they have the same amout of points. And if anyone could, would they pay 10 dollars to turn into a Lich? (Randomness!)

Evil Bus Driver, ur not s***, and my name is eventually gonna be orange. Next year, just go to the Vaccinated Monks clan, I mean, y didn't u do that in the first place?

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!

Hey Black Shark, y are you telling EBD what to do? y should he listen to someone who insulted him and his clan?

[gtlogo:RED]

Screw u Noah, Those are my friends ur talking about. And your comment about I am the clan, not happy about it because in another comment u said my clan looks like s***. Now when you put those comments together, thats calling me s***. Now think about it for a sec, You may be ahead of me but isnt my name kinda orange? I bet you'd like your name to be orange too wouldnt you? Just go and take a moment to think....

EDIT: And yes I maybe the best person in my clan, but so what, if they suck let them suck. They're having fun being there and lovein' the pizza.

[gtlogo:RED]

ya know there is a little problem with your math. Obviously there four people in a clan yes? Now, there were four people in the VMC to begin with. I went because Duck had invited me to go. None of my friends happened to be there at the time. After that, I had invited my friends but only got 2 to go for the round 2 and I got my fourth clanmate ready for round 3. Now if you were wondering why my clan sucks, now you know. They are inexperienced in live competition and had less play time to play in the aadlgt.

EDIT: SPARTAN, no need for E.B.D. just do EBD, no periods. Takes too long to type.

EDIT(again): And about your other post Noah, Yes me and Ian are "tight or sumpthin"

[gtlogo:RED]

Black shark you seem to be "tight or sumpthin" with Sravan why didn't you join his clan. Oh wait maybe because it was full.

By the time I could confirm EBD was going to come to the tournament we had created our clan so he only was a sub for the first tournament. Frankly since EBD goes to a different school having Beebles instead helped because we are all in the same school. Plus Tom and Leinad have more say in the clan then just me and seeing that beebles is their long time friend (not to say he isn't my friend) and that he was easier to contact we went with him. Next year the Vaccinated monks will look very different because 3/4th of us will graduate and with the exception of me the return of any veteran monk to compete in the clan will be slim, due to age and travel barriers. I do intend on keeping the monks alive and due to being associated to the creation of the monk name EBD has a reserved spot in the clan next year if vacancies permit. The other slots might be filled with [gtplayer:325], [gtplayer:345], [gtplayer:141], [gtplayer:448], [gtplayer:328] to name some of my good friends but depending on circumstances could contain others.

As for the topic of me being a Monk next season, I'll think about it. I like the idea. Besides, I have practically 10 people who wanted to be in my clan in the first place so it all works out. I'd have to chat it out with the rest of my clan to see if they think its acceptable.
BTW, I was wondering, if people in my clan aren't qualified, can they at least come to the grands to "cheer me on"? They really wanted to come to at least watch and see how competitive it really is.
One final thing: The topic of the forum says thst there wont e any broadcast TODAY. Does that mean if they will broadcast someother time? If so plz tell me, I have been recording The Rounds so I can look for stratagies in my opponents.

EBD there is the wildcard which the unqualified people can compete in for a slot and they are more then welcome to cheer you on. After the wildcard it should thin out to about 60 - 70, given that the 50 currently qualified players plus the 8 wildcards there should be plenty of room seeing that the last tournament had 80+ people and wasn't horribly crowded. So a few people watching won't hurt.

Yes I would also like to know when it will be broadcast.

Joe S, I predicted u 2 finish 4th in the Grand Championship and this is how I get treated? Sravan and I aren't really that tight. Where r the 4th round results? EBD, just find a clan next year that will be well suited for u, here's the solution for u, next year, u should still be with ur friends, but maybe if they aren't that good, u should train them, make them be ur pupils.

WHAT, ME AND NOAH TIGHT??? anyway noah stop dissin( or attempting to diss)evil bus driver he is cooler than u will ever be. does ur clan have something against him cuz when i was in a match with him and 2 members of BSC they wanted to team up on him cuz they thought i wasent coming but guess who comes, ME. so whats the solution team up against them and we SMOKED them. evil bus driver is probably a better player than u as well.
lol joe fagel.
joe and i will have 2 open spots(darksouls moving to washington and galen well proved that we cant trust him) in our clan next year and we want one spot to be filled with turtle person 2, and another with doomblaze, jlgenilas, or pickwick. so those of u who i mentioned think it over and tell me if u want to join.

[gtlogo:TMC]

Guys, guys, just cool it. Sravan, we aren't tight, but we aren't enemies, nobody is enemies with nobody, ok?

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

I,m not joining ur clan, I'll have my own, new clan. I don't think it will be a BSC, maybe somethin' new. I am plannin' next year to have it be me(Moses), Nick11, Santa, and ur mom in a swim suit. So any of u guys who needs new members, The Loser and Nilofar will be available.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

wtf i dont want u to be in my clan. i said the people in my previous post. yea we're not enemies....i guess...
omid and nilofar are good players and ur gonna kick them out?

[gtlogo:TMC]

Though deren is a cool guy, and I deeply appreciate his agreeing to partner with me this season, I still have no idea who the other people in his clan are and I'd happily join either the monks or the monkeys next season. Deren might also be in the market since his mysterious unseen clanmates may not be returning.

Also, turtleperson's groundrules are excellent and closer adherance to them and the ideals they embody would greatly improve people's perception of you, black shark. =p

I am deeply honoured by the votes of confidence in me, but it is possible that the Foreign Exchange shall return next year, and if it so happens, my first loyalty remains with them. We shall see!
Oh, and it turns out that finklestein can, with relative consistency, defeat me in Double Dash; that means we have two members who are likely to make it to the final round, which, given his current state of functionality in the glorious station of "Pickwick's Brother", means that we have twice the chance. Score!!
Sorry to hear that, Flere...:(

Pro don't count on jlgenials he said either the Monks or Monkeys. Not I'm going to be in the TMC.

Pickwick in the event you are not in the FXC there is a 73.3% chance that you will be able to join the VMC.

About the subs aspect on a 6 man clan. It could be that you have 6 primary members and then you only take the top four members scores, so that if 1 or 2 members can't make it the clan still can score as well as any other clan. Just a thought I've been bouncing around my head.

Big controversy here. Isn't frienship so great? I had everything pre-planned. Sravan, as I said in a very earlier post, Omid is not really my friend, he is kinda a friend, but he's mostly a "VG" partner"(look at one of my posts a long time ago and you'll see that), same with Nilofar. Nick11, Santa, and ur mom in a swim suit r really good friends of mine, Santa and UMIASS were subs for my clan this year, but next year they will both be primaries. Hey, if u guys r having a big controversy over who u want in ur clan, flip a coin, or do a fantasy draft. That's a sports term, if u guys don't know what that means, just ask, and I'll answer on my next post. And Joe S, I got to admit that was pretty harsh what u said about me, come on man, I never said anything bad about u, I even predicted u to finish good in the Grand Championships.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

what is it then?
i like duck's idea of a 6 man clan and the top 4 scores count so subs wont be a big issue. guys rethink this over and lets see if we want to have a 6 man clan where primaries are not an issue. if we have a 6 man clan next year then jlgenilas is definatly in the monkeys(i hope).
yes friendship is more important than these contests friendships last forever. having friends in your clan is better than having the best players in your clan and winning. when u win u will feel the curse of guilt. which makes me think of adding thomas that one guy back in august
to my clan next year.
[gtlogo:TMC]

A fantasy draft is first, u have to have a leader for each clan, and then choose between a "pool" of players. For example: Sravan drafts Duck, it's Pickwick's turn, he drafts Galen, etc.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

Moses, you mean a draft. A fantasy draft is when you don't actually have those teams, it's just ordinary people like us making up a team of pro atheletes and seeing how our "team" does based on their performances. A draft is when the captains take turns picking people.

And besides which, it's a bad idea. This isn't all abotu winning, it's about having fun, and having fun means a clan with your friends in it.

And Sravan, I think that 6 person clans is a horrible idea, and I think that you're the only person in favor of it. Besides, there are several reasons to stick with 4, and no good reasons to move to 6 that I've heard.

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

I've played with the idea of 6 person clan but as of now I'm undecided.

Why would we have a draft, its idiotic? Certain people are better being on teams. Like Sravan and myself would suck on a team because we play different styles. (That is not referring to the fact that we would lose we would just not have a good potential and not be well coordinated) A draft would destroy that nice rivalry between the Clans. I mean the VMC doesn’t pull any punches against the TMC and vice versa.

Duck brings up a very good point. The VMC and the TMC are like UofM and OSU (and we all know that the TMC is just as bad as OSU). That rivalry will last forever, and adds a lot of spice to the tournaments, particularly from a commentary perspective. I know that if a Monk is playing a Monkey, I would almost always choose to follow that match (unless TP2, Pickwick and a Monk or Monkey all end up together at the same time or a similar matchup).

"Faulheit ist eine Tugend"
[gtlogo:VMC]

Yeah, make TMC and VMC matchup as close as it can be next year. Make it so even that everybody will crap their pants.

Giggity Giggity Giggity, Alllllll Right!
[img_assist|fid=279|thumb=1|alt=Black Shark Clan]

duck reinstated the idea of 6 man clans.

i hated that race it was like me, u, pickwick, jlgenilas, beebles, and more. i got 5th but its my worst course(mario circut). yea noah a draft is not a good idea. we still have a couple of months to think up of clans so we're ok. aaron's party was awsome. all the people there were good(guess who won). and we played xbox live it was awsome. cool party aaron

[gtlogo:TMC]

doomblaze i would of beat you in 1v1 but I was distracting my self with thoughts of how my step-grandmother died the day before. And that my step-mom was sad so i should do something. (also i have never once won a elim.match at brinstar depths most likly because when i nreally play i love cliff-hangers)

Those who will not follow are doomed to lead

btw jigelineas i came up with the rules. If eli likes them we could put them somewhere everyone can see on the blog.
Also on behalf of Tp2 he will not be joining the trouble monkeys he will be in The Turtle Clan. our clan would have done better except our regulars were only able to make it to 8 tourney's also word from tp2 the Turtle clan will be looking at people who want to join our clan.

hmmmmm is there a spot on the turtle clan open for me? just wondering. im gonna probably stick with joe though cuz he's like so cool. i'm watching the eminem concert on showtime and wow he's really talented. i mean his own lyrics and he even spends time with his family(also write songs about them).

[gtlogo:TMC]

hey Duck and Sravan, how 'bout if we do somehow get eli to do 6 poeple per clan, lets join our two clans together. 1. We know each other quite well. 2. Our clan would be unstoppable. I really dont care whether or not you wanted to do this, I just thought it wouldve been cool.
heh heh, Call it the Monkey Monks

I don't hate you; you just operate in a way I dislike. You are aggressive and impatient to my careful methodical thinking things though. We just don't go together.

Although a Monkey Monk (actually, Vaccinated Trouble would be a better name) clan would dominate, you can't destroy the ancient rivalry that has been there since round one last year when Joe and Derek were the Monkeys and Tom and I were the Monks. Merging the clans would be like merging the OSU and UofM football programs. It just wouldn't work. And the Monkey/Monk rivalry is one of the most interesting things from these tournaments.
