This is the reason i am baffled each time people consider me a jerk for stating the things I do about the SC community.
It's simple pre-register for the tournament by paying the cash u would have in person before the 12th. Instead we have a page and a half of useless shit. It's sad enough the tournament organizers/sponsors or whatever for this event are right about no showups. FR dropped SC for the same reason. It will be even more sad if 10 fuqin people cannot pre-register as it would prove their point again followed by more and more excuses that the SC community is so good at as to why blah blah blah (he's good cause of his character, I lost cause I did not practice for the tournament, when does the shit end).
Pay the damn pre-registration. Drop the damn happy ban shit rules. Have u not noticed that it still has not benefited the scene and all its done is make the pitchers feel better and the users quit. TX should have never got rapped up in the bullshit EC no legit reason bans in the first place. It did not bring in numbers and has only eliminated some.
Enough talk... Enough talk... Enough talk...
Pre-Register... Pre-Register... Pre-Register...
ENOUGH TALK...
This is what i was talking about pretty much word for word. You guys have to realize that bans hurt your game. It tells people that they cant play the way they want to plain and simple. That is the way we see things anyway.
But when we were told about the problems Mashfest was having and it was apparent that it just wasnt going to happen we offered to help. But then we found out that we were getting NO help and that we had to do everything. So then it became we have to run Mashfest. If we run something we have to stick to our ideals or else we arent who we say we are, and we believe in no bans.
On that not its just the reality that SC4 does not have the numbers for us to put up hardly any cash for it. The other games do. When we found out we were gonna have to run this thing it was up to us to decide to either cancel it or put up money for SC4. But we cant put up cash if we dont have evidence to back it up.
So we took option number 3: If you want SC4 there support your game by setups or cash. If we have to put up everything to run this thing then we have the right to decide what resources go where. Plain and simple.
