Eastern Washington Bi-Weeklies! ~Next Tourney~ [11/17/07]

[RedYoshi92]

If you guys don't show up by 9,forget about coming.

 

[brdy_]

By the way, Garrick, I'm not at TANG nor am I going so don't worry about giving me a ride or anything

 

[R.C.]

ALRIGHT. ATTENTION EASTERN WA. It has been forever since I have made it out your way, however I am going to almost positively come down this Friday. The more the better. I hope to see you and smash with you all.

 

[Peaches]

ALRIGHT. ATTENTION EASTERN WA. It has been forever since I have made it out your way, however I am going to almost positively come down this Friday. The more the better. I hope to see you and smash with you all.

Will you be there for the tournament? It's on Saturday. We'll be starting sometime around 2.

 

[Chip.]

ALRIGHT. ATTENTION EASTERN WA. It has been forever since I have made it out your way, however I am going to almost positively come down this Friday. The more the better. I hope to see you and smash with you all.

Trust me, it's going to snow that day

 

[Ashtten]

Ok me an Chip were talking and we need a new banner to represent our group of smashers... I want to know what you guys think the style of the banner should be as well as who should be in the group... Now discuss!!!

 

[RedYoshi92]

maybe the new banner should have your main and secondary.

 

[Chip.]

Woah...

Hey, what the hell? What's going on with Smashboards? Anyone know? Why are there Pikachu's everywhere!? Poke' world forums?! WTF?!?! Am I the only one seeing this kinda ****!!


*tries to remove the confusion from topic*


Nah, I think a main should suffice, Redyoshi. Let's also decide team colors , well, I mean it's not neccesary, but it'll be cool if we did. I suggest maybe silver, green, or orange (since all the other cool colors have been chosen by other Washingtonion crews).

Also, I think we should recruit some new people

coughcoughbrdycoughcough

and lose some old ones

coughcoughspudcoughcough

 

[icraq]

Yeah, I like this icon more. It's been my symbol on Mario Kart DS for almost a year now :D. Speaking of.. does anyone play that? We should play sometime, I like that game.

lol, yeah. i'm awesome at mkds. or i was, i guess. i stopped playing online after about four months of owning it.
i'm easily the best player in the united states at mario kart 64, though.

 

[icraq]

The pokeworld thing is likely an April fools joke. It is terribly annoying and bright.

 

[Eggz]

Okay. Few things

1: Brady: I love you the most.

2: Bart: I love you the most...too. >_>;

Actual reason im posting:

RedYoshi, instead of reporting to a mod because you can't react to flaming properly (sarcasm, incase your 12 and can't detect it ever), don't post dumb things.
By the way, that was Otto and I that edited your profile, not Nate. So yeah. Forgot I was logged into his account. Nates a really nice guy and doesn't insult people when they act the fool mangz.


I went through your guys' smash wiki's and organized them and deleted redundant or ******** information like on Metroid's wiki.

"He is currently getting better at smash"

No. ****ing. ****.

Anyways, not flaming, I'm just telling you I organized your wiki profiles, but since I don't know **** about you guys, you'll have to fill in what I couldn't.

Also, RedYoshi...next time you want to put information into a wiki, PM me with what your going to put in, and I'll re-write it using good english. Savvy?

You guys arn't pro-am. You're not semi-pro. You're amatuer. Metroid (one of your top players) came over to our GC and wasn't even as good as one of our non-PR players. What we consider nubs definitly doesn't constitute as semi-pro. Again, not flaming, just don't overrate yourself and post false information.

QFT, we suck balls.

edit: and I'm actually fine with my level of play. I don't care much for smash anymore and if the scene isn't improving drastically I don't care to try to force it to.

 

[Silent Wolf]

LOL. I'm not saying that, I'm just saying by no average standard are you semi-pro. Don't be hatin'.

Edit: Peaches, I like you. <3

[icraq]

Heh....

I guess I shouldn't be getting involved, since I'm not really involved with the Spokane scene, but I am sensing "smash bros elitist attitude" from Eggz, after going through his sugar coating of calling all who play in Spokane 'nubz'.

You're talking very high and mighty, but you're not even taking into consideration that Spokane smashers haven't even known of each other for very long. The first time a person posted about setting up meetings in Spokane for playing smash was about 4 months ago. Heh, and it didn't even get started right away.

Who cares what they post on a wiki, anyways? It's not like people are going to be looking up the Spokane Smash Scene and going "Hey, these guys are pros, I bet they're gods." These people here might not be pros on a world scale, or semi pros, or whatever. But hell, I'd call them pros in a regional scale, because they're still pretty **** good and they're just going to get better. They don't get to play against a ton of people, and they've rarely had matches to train until after October '06.

So yeah, take advantage ridiculing people because of the fact you come from a highly populated area. Not everyone will know better, but I do. The people here are **** good for what they have available to them.

And give RedYoshi a break, Eggz. You grammar whores sicken me.

Again, not flaming, just don't overrate yourself and be a jerk.

(I do not represent anyone here. I just felt like your elitist attitude needed to be put in check. I am of an outside source, and while I consider all the people who play smash together in Spokane very cool and friendly, I'm not a part of their crew nor do I desire to be. Smash is not my thing. Brawl might be..)

 

[Eggz]

Heh....

I guess I shouldn't be getting involved, since I'm not really involved with the Spokane scene, but I am sensing "smash bros elitist attitude" from Eggz, after going through his sugar coating of calling all who play in Spokane 'nubz'.

I'm not having a smash elitest attitude. I'm having a don't do dumb **** on things I spend alot of time contributing to...ist attitude. >_>; Open source editing requires a deal of responsibility and intelligence when editing (Get it? Irony because I flamed via open source editing?) So I don't see why asking for you to post with at least correct english is that big of a deal to ask.

You're talking very high and mighty, but you're not even taking into consideration that Spokane smashers haven't even known of each other for very long. The first time a person posted about setting up meetings in Spokane for playing smash was about 4 months ago. Heh, and it didn't even get started right away.

So since they havn't known eachother long, they shouldn't be prone the basic paragraph construction and providing accurate information on a site designed to compile accurate information? Ah. My bad.

Who cares what they post on a wiki, anyways? It's not like people are going to be looking up the Spokane Smash Scene and going "Hey, these guys are pros, I bet they're gods." These people here might not be pros on a world scale, or semi pros, or whatever. But hell, I'd call them pros in a regional scale, because they're still pretty **** good and they're just going to get better. They don't get to play against a ton of people, and they've rarely had matches to train until after October '06.

The wiki isn't regional. It's a worldwide compilation of open source information. I'm not really concerned about the skill level, because just about every entry in there is labeled as pro, which definitly shouldn't be so. I'm more concerned about RedYoshi, a 13 year old kid editing every wiki he comes across.

So yeah, take advantage ridiculing people because of the fact you come from a highly populated area. Not everyone will know better, but I do. The people here are **** good for what they have available to them.

Last I checked I got good from playing my best friend and his brother for fun occasionally before, after, and during school all before bedtime, so don't worry, the people surrounding you has nothing to do with how fast you get good. Brain power and dexterity is what this game is about. Not who you know.

[

And give RedYoshi a break, Eggz. You grammar whores sicken me.

Give me a break icraq, you ******* who fail at english sicken me.

Again, not flaming, just don't overrate yourself and be a jerk.

Precisely what I was aiming for. When did I overrate myself? When did I state anything aside from fact? I didn't issue a single personal flame as far as my recollection serves, so I don't see how I could have possibly been being a jerk. I didn't even directly imply a lack of skill. I just said their best fought our worst and came out on bottom, so I don't think they should be pros. A fact, not an insult.

I'm not going to go off flaming someone for not being good at smash, that's just ascinine, and the reason I didn't flame at all.

Not flaming, just being an ******* and doing your guys wiki for you and giving you tips on how to make it look intelligent since Spokane (or at least RedYoshi) cares about it.

 

[icraq]

I personally don't care about the moderation of a wiki, and I wasn't making a point of it. I'm not against you fixing inaccurate information. You just did something I felt was jerk-like: stating Spokane players as: "What we consider nubs". You didn't just state "un-pro".

I've not been playing Smash for very long. Though, I've been playing online games for quite some time. It's not the fact you're calling a person by a derogatory name because of their skill level in a game that bothers me; rather, it's that you're referring to the person as a "nub", because the word in it's self makes no sense.

It wouldn't be pronounced "newbie", essentially it's just pronounced how it's spelled, NUH-Buh. To use just such an abomination of an abbreviated and already nasty word. That is what bothers me. (NEW B would work, but no one uses it with the space in there. Same with NOOB.)

Quite possibly, it's one of my least favorite words, even if you could call it that. I can go into it more, if you'd like.

Newbie (assuming that's what you mean by NUB) would be equivalent to a person who is ENTIRELY untrained to an activity, or skill. It's not an exact definition, but in common vernacular that's how it would be used. What the internet has done in the last ten years is take that word and for some reason, misspell it, and give it an entirely new meaning. Now it's so common it can be used as some sort of insult, or flame. Typically it has to do with lack of skill, according to the accuser's standard, or just to generally say to a person "You suck."

The word nub, in real life conversation, would mean something along the lines of a lump of flesh or something. I'm not quite sure how to use it in a sentence. "Hey, there's a nub of flesh growing on your neck." Which, I know is not the intention of how the word is to be used. There's this invisible marker that tells us it's pronounced NEW BEE, but I still read it as NUB and just a stupid thing to say. Because really, all it shows is your basic lack of ability to form a proper word of your own, without falling back on some weak, pathetic internet standard of insult.

Maybe I misinterpreted you entirely. Your response didn't really give me that impression, you chose your words more carefully now that you've been called on it.

My English skillz aren't of significance to me. Neither are yours. As long as we all make an effort to do our best, that is all that matters.
Still, insulting MY grammar, now, like I said before, grammar whores do make me sick. If and I took sentence that made senes still and yeah it was reading hard but possible maybe you still would attack use of word choice regardless if english proper or not i dont like it???/

I'm glad you had nice siblings to play with. Whether or not you're from a big city doesn't matter, you're right. Though, you didn't prove it doesn't help having people who like to play with you on a really regular basis. You're not just born with some magical smash brain, it's something that's learned, just like any skill. Like music, sports, or other miscellaneous activities, those skills are improved upon when we practice with others. I can't necessarily say for everyone, because I don't know anyone that well here, but playing with others is something new to just about everyone in Spokane.

Yeah, it's an open source wiki. Open. While it's not Spokane's wiki, only Spokane is going to care about their own information at this point. There's not any pros, semipros, and they are all technically 'amateurs'. Still, they deserve a little bit more respect than being generally labeled as less than 'nubs'

Anyways, if it's giving RedYoshi something to do with his time, it's better than getting into trouble. Except, shouldn't you have something better to do with your time than worry about this?


Again, I represent no one except the Madam I'm Adam Party. My statements don't reflect any body else's in the world. And yes, this subject represents my own views and therefore I feel like any time unjustifiably labels a group negatively that I must offer my own outside view point.
Eggz, I'm sure you're a great guy in person, the internet just makes people jerkfaces.

 

[brdy_]

Eggz <3.

I skimmed the last few posts by iCraq and Eggz because they're about 19 paragraphs too long to read and I honestly have no time to read them. But bottom line is: Adam, there's no denying that they're way better than us. When RedYoshi put that some of us were semi-pro, it pissed me off as well. We're not... but we're all getting better. Everyone is getting better. Even pros have gotten better in the past several months the Spokane scene has been growing and getting better. I say we excel and try catch up with some of the better players of Washington.

Eggz is right, if we want to be respected by the rest of the Smash community we can't label everyone in Spokane as semi-pro. If we put at least accurate information into our wiki pages we'll at least earn respect and get involved with the rest of the community. Western has a lot that Eastern can learn from, whether it's when we visit them or they visit us (if they can, ever, which would be sweet)

 

[Chip.]

Eggz and iCraq seem like interesting people that I would like to meet

 

[iSam]

Haha, this is just silly. Lets just play smash (a game).

That's exactly what I'm talking aboot. That's why you're my favorite Brady...you have a brain. =/ </doesn't know anyone but Brady.> I'll address ICraq's post in a double post after this LOL </Otto is gonna warn me when I go home>

 

[Silent Wolf]

Sorry for using synonyms. My bad.

I've not been playing Smash for very long. Though, I've been playing online games for quite some time. It's not the fact you're calling a person by a derogatory name because of their skill level in a game that bothers me; rather, it's that you're referring to the person as a "nub", because the word in it's self makes no sense.

Sorry, but while we are forced to live among what some refer to as "friends", we develop slang that sounds funnier. I'd rather say nub than newbie because newbie sounds ****ing ********.

It wouldn't be pronounced "newbie", essentially it's just pronounced how it's spelled, NUH-Buh. To use just such an abomination of an abbreviated and already nasty word. That is what bothers me. (NEW B would work, but no one uses it with the space in there. Same with NOOB.)

I'm pretty sure picking at my word preference isn't going to make you appear like any less of an ***. Nub is what I say. I don't care if you prefer saying "Newbie" or "Person of less skill". I tell it how it is.

Quite possibly, it's one of my least favorite words, even if you could call it that. I can go into it more, if you'd like.

Newbie is one of my least favorite. I don't give a ****.

Newbie (assuming that's what you mean by NUB) would be equivalent to a person who is ENTIRELY untrained to an activity, or skill. It's not an exact definition, but in common vernacular that's how it would be used. What the internet has done in the last ten years is take that word and for some reason, misspell it, and give it an entirely new meaning. Now it's so common it can be used as some sort of insult, or flame. Typically it has to do with lack of skill, according to the accuser's standard, or just to generally say to a person "You suck."

How about instead of being new to a community, and giving what you believe to be the definition of a word, you look at how everyone else in the community uses for it. I've never heard anyone say newbie. It's either noob, or nub, usually.

The word nub, in real life conversation, would mean something along the lines of a lump of flesh or something. I'm not quite sure how to use it in a sentence. "Hey, there's a nub of flesh growing on your neck." Which, I know is not the intention of how the word is to be used. There's this invisible marker that tells us it's pronounced NEW BEE, but I still read it as NUB and just a stupid thing to say. Because really, all it shows is your basic lack of ability to form a proper word of your own, without falling back on some weak, pathetic internet standard of insult.

Again, as teenagers of the 21st century, we have to use what is commonly referred to as "slang", which may include taking words that mean something else and giving them a new meaning.

Maybe I misinterpreted you entirely. Your response didn't really give me that impression, you chose your words more carefully now that you've been called on it.

Don't think you had any affect on me at all. Eastern WA mainly has nubs. I used the word once and you called me on it. Good job. Sorry I switched it up and didn't use nub the entire time.

My English skillz aren't of significance to me. Neither are yours. As long as we all make an effort to do our best, that is all that matters.
Still, insulting MY grammar, now, like I said before, grammar whores do make me sick. If and I took sentence that made senes still and yeah it was reading hard but possible maybe you still would attack use of word choice regardless if english proper or not i dont like it???/

English is required to present a point accurately. Sorry. It's just the way it is. Also, I didn't understand most of the last paragraph. Seriously. Irony for ya there. "englsh r uselss. additionalunintelligableramblings"

I'm glad you had nice siblings to play with. Whether or not you're from a big city doesn't matter, you're right.

I can't necessarily say for everyone, because I don't know anyone that well here, but playing with others is something new to just about everyone in Spokane.

Quite untrue. People improve at different rates. Wanna know why that is? Your environment influences you, and depending on how much you've expanded the capability of your mind, you could be better or worse without genius. Smarter people are better at the game. Experience goes a long way too, but you can surpass experience with genius. This game is about reading people. To do that you need logic, dexterity, and good cause-and-effect realization.

Yeah, it's an open source wiki. Open. While it's not Spokane's wiki, only Spokane is going to care about their own information at this point. There's not any pros, semipros, and they are all technically 'amateurs'. Still, they deserve a little bit more respect than being generally labeled as less than 'nubs'

When people inaccurately label themselves and provide an entourage of unnecessary information, why should they earn respect? Some eastern WA smashers already have my respect. Brady, Chip, Peaches, SLyD, they've all been cool guys. The rest I either don't know, or bother me a lot.

Anyways, if it's giving RedYoshi something to do with his time, it's better than getting into trouble. Except, shouldn't you have something better to do with your time than worry about this?

I don't have a job yet and my college classes haven't started back up yet. Thanks for asking.

Again, I represent no one except the Madam I'm Adam Party. My statements don't reflect any body else's in the world. And yes, this subject represents my own views and therefore I feel like any time unjustifiably labels a group negatively that I must offer my own outside view point.
Eggz, I'm sure you're a great guy in person, the internet just makes people jerkfaces.

Yeah, I'm a ****in' riot. =D I understand your point, I'm just saying I wasn't intending to hurt the community. Sorry to Eastern WA if I did that. You guys are still cool in my book (except RedYoshi).

Egg Zero out. XD

 

[BladeWise]

holy crap. what's going on.
this certainly got out of hand.

 

[R.C.]

Well now that there is hostility going on in both the gameclucks and eastern Wa thread...ANYWAYS. I hear there is a tourney going on on Saturday, time and place (address)?

 

[Gimpyfish62]

haha so this is what egg mania was doinglast night when he was being randomly grumpy (probably because of no sleep for a couple nights)

*sigh*

uhhhh I HATE BEWITCHED!!!!1 *flips couch*

 

[Eggz]

I HATE EVERYONNNNE.

Get it, I'm the source of the hostility? =D

Teddy, come meet Otto's Falcon. AKA come to his house.


EDIT: Otto and I both LOL'd rly hard at the couch flippin antic. LOL gimperoni.

 

[Ashtten]

Sheeze guys O.o... The point is no one really cares about the smash wiki site reall except Yoshi, Deva, Me, Brdy, and Chip have all said to me in person that it is not a big deal so thanks for the defense ICraq but really it is unneeded or else one of us would have posted stating that we ere offended. And yes were are not considered pro or semi-pro that was just red so no biggie there either... but maybe soon we will get up in the ranks and reach it but if not no biggie we are just here to play smash.

 

[M3tr01D]

it's just a dumb wiki that no one is going to read guys, calm the **** down. there's no reason to molest everyone's use of english, slang, and leet speak just because one person thought people were good. I'm almost positive that no one in eastern thinks that they're the best in the country. Rubbing it in our face doesn't make it any more or less true.

Also, are you trying to say that competition base has nothing to do with skill? It's just a coincidence that all the top players are from bigger cities/states? That if your only competition is 5 year olds that live more then 3 miles away, but you have "genius" you'll be able to beat the best?

 

[Chip.]

When people inaccurately label themselves and provide an entourage of unnecessary information, why should they earn respect? Some eastern WA smashers already have my respect. Brady, Chip, Peaches, SLyD, they've all been cool guys. The rest I either don't know, or bother me a lot.

<3 Eggz



ANYWAY, I think team SHFFL needs a good banner/ just that I need a good sig right now .

I also think that Brdy should join the crew (if that's all right with him that is) because I think the original reason why he wasn't was because "he lives too far away". I don't think that location is a problem anymore, because M3tr01D lives quite a bit aways, but that doesn't stop him from being eligible on the crew, does it?

I'd also like to point out that Brdy is one of the better players that I've faced and would be valuable if was an addition to the team .

Seriously guys, if we want to sustain a better crew, then we need better players. Spud hasn't gotten off of his lazy butt and attended any local tourneys OR has gone to Casual Fridays for improving and/or practice.

So if everyone unanimously agrees..

then Brdy should be on the team




And finally I would like to add that..



We're not pros, pro-amateurs, or semi-pros. We are by all means labled "amateur". I know it may sound bad, (if this offends any Easterns), but it's true. Western is MADE of Smash proffesionals and we can/should learn a lot from them. That's why it's a good idea if we can ALL make it over to Jumpfreak's tourney and play with the westerns; we'll all hopefully learn something from them .

 

[RedYoshi92]

awesome statement Chip.

Brdy would make a good addition to the team.

edit:I think that smashboards having the little pikachu's in the back is a prank for april fools day.

 

[brdy_]

@ Eggz: I hope you understand he was using poor English and grammar in that last sentence to prove a point. Although it may be a weird way to prove a point, I suppose it may be hard to read but still understandable to an extent.

@ Peaches: I work on Saturday until 3, so I doubt I would be able to make it out to Spokane to your tourney until around 4 or 4:30. Also, if I were to make it to the tourney, I'd probably need a ride from the plaza around that time. This also means I will more than likely not attending the tournament at WWU. I will try to find a cover for me that weekend, but right now it's not looking likely.

@ Chip: Inviting me to your crew is a great gesture and all, but with school and work this quarter it will definitely be harder for me to find time to smash with all of you. I will definitely put forth an effort to find the time, especially with Deva and Ashtten here at school, but I don't think I should join your crew. No offense, and don't get me wrong, I still like all of you (that I have met) and I enjoy smashing with you, and I will continue to.

 

[RedYoshi92]

just do fine in college and things will go well for you brdy.

 

[Silent Wolf]

Nice match

[icraq]

It's kind of fun having someone prove your own argument by giving them enough subjects to ramble on about.

Since you can state Eastern Washington is full of "nubs" because you played one dude from here, I'm going to say Western Washington is full of "lamers". I don't know why I pick the word lamer, it has little meaning, but if you didn't know, Lamer was what the internet people called other people before the word "noob" was invented! My only basis for this? Because I had this conversation with a guy named Eggz on a forum, who was a jerkface and generally labeled a nice group of people who I don't think deserve to be so poorly generalized.

I don't truly think that of WW, or of any group of people. But that would be a fair example of what you did in your first post, was generalize all of the Spokane-area.

And if you're truly a genius, you shouldn't be playing smash, or going to school. Go become a full time chess player, something to fully utilize your brain powers.


Ash, sorry, it's not my full on intention to defend you, or any one else from Spokane specifically. It's just me calling a person on unfairly generalizing people by using a word that I believe only shows the speaker/writer's inferior ability to make a claim on a person's skill level. Because the funny thing is, everyone was a nub at one point. But I know **** well no one in Spokane should be considered one.

 

[Chip.]

But, Brdy if you can't find the time to smash often then that's ok , you're still always welcome to the crew whenever you've the time.


>_>... yeah, guys, so what about that banner?

 

[Gimpyfish62]

apparently chess pays out the big bucks XD

Ka Master and I started out playing only eachother in a very small western town called Sultan. Ka won the first tournament he attended, and we never met anyone but gimpy before that. GGz.

It's kind of fun having someone prove your own argument by giving them enough subjects to ramble on about.

Since you can state Eastern Washington is full of "nubs" because you played one dude from here, I'm going to say Western Washington is full of "lamers". I don't know why I pick the word lamer, it has little meaning, but if you didn't know, Lamer was what the internet people called other people before the word "noob" was invented! My only basis for this? Because I had this conversation with a guy named Eggz on a forum, who was a jerkface and generally labeled a nice group of people who I don't think deserve to be so poorly generalized.

I don't truly think that of WW, or of any group of people. But that would be a fair example of what you did in your first post, was generalize all of the Spokane-area.

No, basically all of us are ***** to people who act like asshats. You were right on the mark.

And if you're truly a genius, you shouldn't be playing smash, or going to school. Go become a full time chess player, something to fully utilize your brain powers.

Also, thanks for correctly using english in your writing after I called you a ****ing ****** for it.

IMO, Smash can utilize and stimulate the brain just as much as chess (on higher level play, of course).

I would argue and say smash utilizes and stimulates the brain even more than chess.
