Okay, I think I have to say sth. now, too.
I know I wrote a lot of **** at the m2k thread, and I rly know, that I failed and that I shouldnt have done this. =/
I like to look at allisbrawl and I know some european players from there.
And I sometimes look at swf, but I only look at the character forums of the characters I like, because there is no thread in the euro area, which I could post in.
Before some weeks there was a big online brawl tourney for european wifi players at AiB.
I met a lot of new good players, I never saw them before, most of them were from the french community.
To this time I asked myself, why there isnt sth. like an european boards, where the europeans can meet each other and talk about smash.
Gheb (I think he is moderator of the wolf boards) said, that he wants to get a bigger in-person community in europe and in germany.
Because of this I asked some people, why not making an european smashboards.
All the guys I asked liked the idea.
But the most of them didnt post at swf in the europe area, because for them there was nothing to post about.
So I posted the idea in the german boards and there was decided to start it.
If I look at the german board the people know each other after some time, they talk about the chars, play at wifi tourney and organisate in-person tourneys.
Its a big community, where you get to know all people.
At SWF the players mostly only know the people out of the boards of their chars.
That would be the difference between the euro board and the SWF, there arent so much players like at SWF, and after some time, you get to know the other players.
You will meet new people, which you are maybe going to meet in the future, because travling europe-wide is possible.
To travel to america is hard work only for meeting some smashers.
After some time there maybe will be crew battles like France vs. Germany (we thought about planing this for online brawl), which are a lot of fun.
And there are possibilities for more europea in-person tourneys.
Online brawl tourneys would be interesting, too. (playing europeans isnt as bad as playing americans)
I think between Europe and America is a difference like America and Japan, only that a lot of europeans like to look at the swf, which is mostly for americans.
And I think the european play another way like the americans, so it would be another talk (maybe more interesting than in swf for us) about the characters and other stuff. (example: the mk bann discussion, we talked about this at the german board, too, and there were very interesting results, but I didnt like to read all the thousands of posts in the threads at swf)
I hope the idea will work, because it would be an amazing invention for the european smash community.
At last we talked a little bit about organisation of this board at the german boards, and we came to the result, that the admins of the different competive smash boards of european countries should talk together about the organisation.
But first lets talk about the board itself, organisation is a part we have to do after this.
excuse me for my bad english, but I hope you can understand me
Bullet Bill:
"I agree with what JD said. We don't need to have another forum to improve communication, we just need to communicate"
the problem is: nobody starts communication (a lot of players dont know how to start communication with other european players), and a board like this would give the possibility to start the communication between all the european competive players
