Third attempt, doubt it'll make a difference, just bringing it to everyone's attention in case you'd like to vote.

yeah i mean, if the majority votes a third time for ban. then a ban should fall.

*cough*

*shows up briefly and disappears again*

In all honesty, I'm in the same boat as Zer0. No money, no ride, and not enough **** activity in SC. I'm just sick and tired of being the laughing stock of the Brawl Community. I don't want to have to ride to other states just so I don't have to be frowned upon.

Wtf Devin? I don't see anything...

 

[zCasanova]

Signature Show Plz

IDK, it updated the first post, but it won't show on these.

It's showing up on random posts throughout the thread. It's kinda weird. Nice sig, though.

 

[zCasanova]

ty

It gave me many headaches last night.

 

[Thunder865]

****it guys, I don't think I can break these cuffs.
If I were to make it, it'd probably be just me, everyone else in my little posse is like "uggh finals" and I'm not much better. e.e
You plan on making this a monthly thing now, Devin? I'd hate to miss this and then have to wait till almost July to get my Brawl disc back play Smash with you guys. ;-;

I think me khai and maybe Rob from clemson are still planning on making it so there will probably be room with us if you still want to go.

edit @ devin: My guess would be that you don't have the show your signature thing checked. Its normally default off on quick post and on for normal post I believe. Bottom right for quick post and under additional options for normal.

 

[kackamee]

My dad MAY have to work on Saturday, and my mom won't want to take me. But I will try to pull some strings and get a ride.

You can't break those cuffs?

Next one will be on the 9th of May, so, two weeks after this one.

Kind of far into the future to make a promise, but if everything goes like it should, then yeah.

@Ryan--

Can you still bring a T.V.?

 

[JMan8891]

Devin, that sig is Bad ***, lol

And i wanted THAT exact Sonic in my freaking sig,... but ppl fail at life so i've yet to get a decent quality sig.... xD

 

[Vilt]

Sorry bros can't make it to this. ; ; Mahybe next time.

 

[The Director]

Joe, we're getting drunk at this again. No johns.

Totally man. I'm currently carless so I'll be getting a ride to this. Not having to drive means I can have me some drinkies!

 

[JMan8891]

@Joe

Beat R2 on all facets of single player game
Nearly beat co op 100%,
Barley started competitive

 

[Juno McGrath]

@dev; gotta start winning more so i can get in that sig! haha.
@ thunder. come dude please i want a rematch.
@Ryan, i can bring a TV if you cant.
@joe, dont get too drunk to smash.

 

[kackamee]

I forgot where...But I do belive I've heard somewhere that people may actually play better when drunk

 

[Ryanarius]

depends on the person, the game and the level of drunkness. I wouldn't recommend it as a strategy but I've seen it help.

It's a statistical impossibility. Alcohol lowers the reaction time to ANY stimulus. In a game requiring hand eye coordination precisely to the frame, any reduced reaction time is detrimental, 100% guaranteed. The only potential assistance it can have is making a button masher slightly better at button mashing.

Pot has a very slight chance of being beneficial to the game, considering it increases attentiveness, thus increasing reaction time.

But it sure makes it fun.

Payton, I can give you a ride there if your father can pick you up. I'm not gonna be driving home.

@Devin: lol, I like the sig alot. I would have preferred a ? as my symbol though, for thelols.

Side note: http://www.royallimousine.net/Fleet_12PassengerChrysler300/12_passenger_chrysler_300/a04.jpg. 7 days. I'm so hyped.

 

[zCasanova]

@Snap-- Bring a TV.

@Ryan-- Bring a TV.

 

[JMan8891]

Jman- Bring a tv/setup?

And actually, statistcally proven to help SOME individuals at rythmic games. Due to timing, not reaction. It was considered due to the "bear-courage" effect, that ppl gained confidence and thusly, performed better.

There is a happy equilibrium there, but it has been proven to be beneficial. Tru facts

LOL! Pot does NOT increase attentiveness... it does the opposite. ...but it is fun.
It also makes it so sometimes you think about doing moves, but your fingers dont react to your thoughts... so NO, it wont help

also i cant wait for this weekend, i havent been to a tourney in like a year.

 

[zCasanova]

@Justin-- Bring a setup/TV.

Edit: I've only heard people say pot makes them play better.

 

[Criosphinx]

Apparently you haven't smoked pot and just spaced for hours. I focus on doing the most mundane task and make it my sole attention for a time space of MANY hours.

Edit: I've only heard people say pot makes them play better.

Once I got incredibly high, and played melee. I won the match as Jigglypuff using only rest. Personally, I think it makes me better.

 

[~Kuja~]

Devin i love the sig man :D unfortunately i am not going to be able to make this tourney barring a thunderstorm as you all know... and from what i hear its supposed to be really nice this weekend. sorry guys :/ but if the next one is indeed the 9th, and not the 16th i will be there definitely.

I actually did a paper on this as pathetic as that may be. People who have trouble under pressure at least believe they do better with alcohol or pot. They could be wrong its hasn't exactly been studied scientificly. For team games only a few people believed alcohol or pot to be beneficial. There was some popular drugs for top MLG players but I'm way off topic.

So I can break those cuffs. I'm going to figure out the rides tommorowish but I'm pretty sure I should make it not really sure how many people will join us.

 

[zCasanova]

Any of you coming for Melee?

This is due to several factors. Alcohol gives off the illusion of confidence, which could theoretically make someone unsure of themself more willing to take risks. High risk = high reward, so alcohol could make the casual gamer better, in a sense. But at the level that most of us play at, a high risk backed with no skill does not equal high reward, it means punishment.

I'd venture to say top MLG players would use Aderol, which is a neurostimulant acting on the dopamine center of the brain. It also reduces fatigue, which can accumulate from repetitive match-ups, because it quite literally FORCES you to be attentive.

The more you know

 

[Lareit]

Any of you coming for Melee?

I'll be there in time for melee.

I have no intention of playing however.


Unless I sleep in. THen i'll be there in time for brawl, but as i'm waking up at 7am atm it's likely going to be easy to make it there for melee.

 

[stingers]

Since Vilt isn't going I can't go either

D:

Unless someone who barely knows me wants to go far out of their way to come up to Hickory, NC

<.<

/longshot

 

[JMan8891]

I have no idea where that is, and as im likley hitching a ride with Adam (if he is still planning on giving me a ride), i can't stingers, sorry

Joe maybe? he's coming with ppl from NC as it is... but thats all up to u NC folk.

 

[stingers]

who's joe?

 

[zCasanova]

Joe doesn't have a car, so a friend's bringing him.

Then they're stopping to pick up Phil and one of his friends.

Right?

Or wrong?

Either way, Hickory's in the other direction—Joe's near Charlotte.

 

[stingers]

Exactly why it's a longshot.

I hate living where I do. It's really sad.

All well, have fun at this guys :x

I'm not sure what my friends think about coming. I might bring one, I might bring two, I might not bring any. They haven't given me an answer yet.

Either way, Joe and his friend are going out of their way to get me here at UNCC and will likely have a full car anyways. Sorry Stingers.

Edit: Joe is The Director

 

[Juno McGrath]

joe is a drunk. from what i gather. ha.

just kidding joe. your cool.

partyzone this saturday.=]

anyway, dev, please dont do the next one on the 9th. thats my prom night brah.
