Woww.... you're not funny at all.. eat a ****.. wowi half never heard any thing lik this b4 ...i cant believe a brawler would do ths to his own clan ...wow
He mad. Teevee the best.Woww.... you're not funny at all.. eat a dick.. wow
If you're gonna troll, 1. do it in the right thread and 2. don't suck *** at it ******.
I knew that was gonna happen.He mad. Teevee the best.
This pretty much sums up how I feel. Zelgadis was a role model to meI find this to be really really disappointing.
Six years ago, my friends and I would play smash for fun. We'd smack each other about in ffa on temple for hours.
Then I discovered smashboards and dbr and suddenly everything changed. I wanted to play this game like dbr did. I wanted to waveshine with fox like Zelgadis.
I went to Genesis 1. I got to stand in the same space of players I revered for YEARS. I even got Zelgadis to sign a hat emblazoned with 'Fox' across it. It sits in my living room.
I can't imagine the thought of a close friend doing this to me.
DBR, I'm sorry. And well done for keeping it together.
Are you kidding me? What else are you going to do? Hire a company to watch the prize money for you? If we didn't trust people with money, then tournaments wouldn't even exist. We're lucky enough to have so many tournaments that go as planned. I don't know why you said that "This is normal at nationals" because, the only national tournaments that have had their money messed with is Pound V and Genesis 2. Since DBR recovered the money, that leaves Pound V as the only national tournament that didn't pay out. For 10 years of Melee, that's actually not too bad.This isn't a surprise at all. This is normal at nationals because people are dumb as **** in trusting a small amount of people with a ****ton of money.
Whats with the brawl hate? You know part of that $6,000 grand was also for brawlers. Anyways, Props to DBR for keeping it cool and escalating the situation to get there money back. Best of luck.I knew that was gonna happen.
If you really think you've trolled me, you just trolled yourself. Now you brawl players go play or something.
Noooo. I was just being a smartass.Whats with the brawl hate? You know part of that $6,000 grand was also for brawlers. Anyways, Props to DBR for keeping it cool and escalating the situation to get there money back. Best of luck.

I really hope you're trolling.
I guess the brawl community just sucks then. Either way, yeah, money could be handled better. But that's not what your post said. You said that a small amount of people shouldn't be trusted with a large amount of money. A "Small amount of people" could be anyone, not just DBR. I understand what you mean now, but your other post isn't reflecting this one like it should.Referring to brawl moreso than melee.
SNES, Winterfest, Pound V. Once is more than enough.
As far as the money goes; It should be handled better. If they knew Zelgadis has some shady aspects to him, why trust him?
Much better. Don't worry, when you move down to Boliver, you won't visit a brawl thread ever again. We'll make sure of that >: DI'll rephrase what I said then:
This is normal as far as brawl nationals goes. (Pound V, Winterfest, SNES)
As far as the money goes, $6000 is much better off in a backpack or a briefcase then a tiny envelope. I'd even invest in a lock of some sort if I was hosting a national.
Sorry about that, I'm used to posting in only brawl threads.
And the brawl community doesn't suck. Plank was a melee player, and the host of SNES is now a convicted felon. I'm not too familiar with winterfest. Nobody's perfect, I guess.
This is not true, unless there was another smasher that got robbed, not that I would have at all expected anyone to do so, or unless he gave drunk Atomsk $80 to give to me lol.To everyone else:
This doesn't reflect on the rest of DBR at all, or at least shouldn't. Everyone busted their ***** off helping run the tourney, shuttling people to the hotel, and doing everything that needed to be done to have an amazing tourney. Germ even reimbursed the smasher who got robbed.
