Tournaments.
We need to have another one. Of some kind or other. Just saying.

Re: Tournaments.
Assuming we can even get enough people, somebody would have to step up and organize it. IIRC, all of our previous tournaments were organized by either Schooly or Neo Helbeast. I think we let Schooly down too many times for him to want to do it again (by "we" I mean the entire North American VOOT fanbase... all 7 of us ). And I haven't seen Neo Helbeast play VOOT in ages.

Re: Tournaments.
I took a break from voot due to irl drama and just kept taking a break. I'd be game for another tourney, although if my fights with goliath mean anything I'm rusty as hell.
E: Also I'd host a tourney only if menthol would play.

Re: Tournaments.
I'm kind of busy now and for the rest of this month, but I can probably find the time to play if there's a tournament.

Re: Tournaments.
Can we place bets on how many people will sign up? My money's on 3.
After some truly awful VOOTing by me today, I'm hesitant to do this, but sign me up. Using Specineff, I guess.

Re: Tournaments.
This is me signing up. You know which VR.
So we have 2 so far. Dave, I'm going to take the "over" on your bet.

Re: Tournaments.
I'm in, VR = Grys-Vok. I gotta perform maintenance on my Twin Sticks so this will force me to do it.

My pessimism loses again. Surely we'll get at least one more player.PhantomPhotonX wrote:Dave, I'm going to take the "over" on your bet.
Although today is reinforcing the rule that anybody with 50%+ win percentage in ranked has a 90%+ chance of beating me, so my pessimism should still hold true in the tournament itself.

Re: Tournaments.
Guess I'll take the third spot then. Sign me up with Temjin.

Re: Tournaments.
Let's lock down a time for this tourney. I am proposing 8:00 PM EST. How does that sound?
So far we have:
Me
DaveRudolph
MentholMoose
ChunkyPuff
Shamanic Beat (tentative)
SolarSonic (still in?)
And I am assuming that Helbeast will be our cameraman, but will not be playing.
We still need a couple more. Any interest from Vash, Goliath, NeoKen, or (gulp ) Aniking? Could we have someone track these guys down (in case they haven't read this) and gauge their interest (or just go recruit some other folks); that would make this much more interesting!
Let's not drop the ball on this now...otherwise we'll just be less and less likely to ever hold a tournament again, with the amount of cancellations we've had already.

Re: Tournaments.
We could always reschedule... it'll probably be hard to get more people with only two days left.
(Plus I forgot I might have other plans that night But I'll still play if I'm needed.)

Re: Tournaments.
I think that might be a good idea. It seems like there's a lot of uncertainty.

Re: Tournaments.
Well I can't make it, I got injured in a bicycle accident on Wednesday so playing VOOT will be too difficult today.

Re: Tournaments.
I guess it's safe to say that we won't have this, then. I think what we should do is pick a Saturday or Sunday 2-3 weeks from now and just commit to that. That way we have more time to prepare/recruit people. I might still show up online later tonight for some games if anyone is interested.

Re: Tournaments.
I'm up for the tourney but like Phantom said, we should pick a Saturday of Sunday 2-3 weeks from today.
@PhantomPhotonX: I'm up for a game tonight, count on it.

Re: Tournaments.
I'm with Phantom. With school work this week I had literally zero time for VOOT, so I wouldn't even have a fighting chance. Besides, I doubt we'd do much with three people (now four, with the addition of S-Advent).
I'm up for some casual games tonight, though.
