Rick is right. No one is forced to come. If we choose a stage-list to your disliking, then don't come if it's so bad. You'll be missing out on the best tournament experience of your life, but if a single stage ruins the experience, you're better off not attending.
On that note, we understand that the FC experience has drawn interest from around the country, so we try to compromise with other regions. Compare FC1 to FC3 rules if you don't believe me. And I'm sure plenty of people remember the stage debates from last year, and we gave a lot of people what they wanted.
Still, ultimately, we're the hosts. We can do what we want. ^_^ No one is forcing you to attend. There are plenty of other FC-clones you can attend with other rulesets.
We know your opinions. We know we have people who despise our rules and people who love them. We've heard it all before, and we'll hear it all again. Same old same old, we'll make our decisions, make some people angry, make some people happy.
We want to hear honest opinions, like Dante's. He was polite and expressed his opinions. Flaming and insults, however, won't be tolerated this time around.
