Think its so they can get last minute sign ups at the door lol

I recall someone saying if we get more then 128 sign ups they cant do 4 bracket pools anymore. What would they do if or when this happens then?

i just find it hilarious that we were told for months we weren't getting a cap raise, then when they **** up, they give it to us to cover their own asses. i also find it funny that pm probably hit cap at 6pm on some day and had a cap raise the next morning.

but my statement was more along the lines of, why increase it by SIXTY FOUR spots instead of 16 or 32? it just seems like overkill. the plus side is maybe that'll be next year's default cap. but who knows, maybe we will in fact get 50 more entrants in the next 3 days.

cobr have you never watched an infomercial?
If you say there's a limited supply of something more people will buy it, and faster.

Also I think you're victim-hunting a bit hard with looking at the time between hitting cap and getting the cap raise. Seriously, who gives a ****

it's the principle of the thing, homie. the recurring theme seems to be that people are made aware of something and then choose to wait as long as possible to address it and then wait longer to take action.

that is a problem. for many reasons, a lot of which were listed previously, perhaps even in this thread.

Cobr is self victimizing guys. He lives his life around having something to complain about.

He plays Samus

He lives in Elizabeth

He even got a degree in English so he could complain better. Just read this status.

if it comes down to a choice between being unloved and being vulnerable and sensitive and emotional, then you can just keep your love

Even now I'm doing him a favor by giving him something else to complain about.

ME AND THE 3 JAPANESE NEED A RIDE FROM THE AIRPORT (JFK) THURSDAY

I had to fly also because of work and now I cant pick them up. And now the age restrictions at the airport rental places prevent me from getting a car big enough for all of us.

We could go wherever after that, but I'd rather go to my house to sleep that night because there are beds. And a smashfest.

Just looked at the reg list.
I like where Merihime and Moyashi come from: New Hampshire, Japan.

if you told a group of people they weren't getting a cap raise for months because of scheduling issues/setups, and that you'd fix an issue with a smasher but DIDN'T and waited, thus FORCING a cap raise because of your laziness, and then waited just as long to actually go ahead and RAISE the cap, you'd probably be like "well ****, the people aren't going to like this". thus, you'd be protecting yourself from backlash.

glad to see they're keeping it uniform across all the games, though, and giving EVERYONE a cap raise. especially this late. because you know, if PM had gotten one however long ago, maybe flights could have been cheaper, more plans could have been scheduled, etcetc. i'm happy we got a raise. i'm not happy how it happened.

just saying, there's a BIG difference between doing something out of kindness and trying to help a community and doing something to save face and make sure you get approval.



not even gonna dignify the resident village idiot yobo with a response



and ness mains are much more self-victimizing than me, CHRISTOPHER, i remember all of your asides and remarks about the little child

edit: is aa coming now or

yobo will be sleeping outside in the cold like the useless sell out pika main he is

and if he were to go to apex he'd be sleeping in the landfill

a step below the keyboard players

best trash talker award, where is it

but the 64 community is way too nice for it

picture mango vs hbox, then watch that sensei vs m2k where they laugh and cry together. random falcon kicks of love

there's too much joy and camaraderie. zenith 13 had too many smiles, what is that ****? I want more hate, the internet should have no limits for trash talk.

show the japanese that it's not ok to smile between stocks. kill them and look'em straight in the eye. taunt a lot

if only we had tigerbombz as our hero, isai sucks, ever heard isai calling someone out? we need more top players being cocky. srs

=)

This gives me an idea. Instead of puke and rally, how about chug and rally? If you can finish an extra beer during the match you can force your opponent to lose a stock. Its a risky move, but if you've got what it takes nobody could stop you.

That's where my single handed smash practice will... come in handy.

eh, whatever cobr. You're thinking about this whole thing too much. They just raised the caps because they could, not because they want to seem benevolent. They know there's more interest for 64 than just 124 people, so they raised the cap. Pretty sure they wouldn't have left Ruoka out either.

i don't know, sedda. after all the nonsense we've been going through for the past few months, i'm not inclined to be particularly trusting. i don't put on a ****ing ****eating grin for anyone.

aa, please come up with your own annoying insults. I'm the only person allowed to insult Cobr for being the dirty samus main that he is.

Also, I think you guys didn't really go through that much. Asking for RR pools was cool of you guys, and it was ****ty of them to say that they wanted "equality," but it's not like they promised RR pools and then took it away.
