stupid sauga, with like three "meadowvale station"s. meadowvale is a really uncreative name, too. "Welcome to Hilltown!"

yeah actually, two setups can go on the top floor as well during the day, probably two in the basement and 2-4 on the main floor. However most days we won't be able to use the living room, unless there are a lot of people coming.

I'll have a thread up tomorrow or something. Any name suggestions? I suggest people come up with something better than "Hot Sweaty Orgies - GTA Hagweeklies". I'm serious.


OMFGGGGGGGGG are we starting weeklies/ biweeklies again???????? if we are ..can we start march break cuz i dont think the afro will be free by then.....and everyone loves the afro XD

and i also say we start up pr.....seeing how the ppl who made the pr go away left from melee and ethier went to brawl or just disappear, and seeing how close the community is i think we can handle a pr now

and if anything we could always just change it from the old ones is there were other problems wit it...i dunno just an idea of mine :D

As much as I'd love to have a pr as it promotes competitiveness (leading to faster improvement), it can cause a lot of conflicts and negative energy between players. But if you guys think our community is mature enough to go through with it, then sure.

As someone who knows a lot about pr's (currently running one and was very involved in the old one) I know that they're a good thing.

But the good comes with the bad, there will inevitably be pr drama, regardless of the maturity of the people involved.

Competitive rankings create competitive drama absolutely.

The decision is whether or not the drama is worth it, usually it is.... but sometimes things can get ugly.

yeah I was thinking about this, hopefully the pr doesnt break relationships and create drama and other nonsense.

Landy what do you think about this?

i say pr isnt necessary,
i think we all know who the best in the gta are, and to be quite honest, everyone else is close enough that it doesnt really matter >_>
theres enough friendly trash talk to keep the scene competitive lmao,
plus biweeklies can also help.

idk, i just dont think a pr is necessary

since the top places are more solid now, pr competition would revolve around
"afro, josh, sylar, kyle, stos"

so are any of you guys gonna ***** about your placing? cause i wouldn't =P we're all really close and those would be switched around constantly. it would just make it easier for people outside the gta to see which names they should be paying attention to.

yeah, you guys seem close. i wouldn't tamper with that just for a little bit of unimportant recognition

edit - i know some of you will see this post as ironic because blah blah blah but whatever, here's a topical anecdote:

a couple months ago Noah, Tyler, Connel came to my dorm for a party my floor was hosting. The minute I see them they're all arguing over their musical talent. (they jam together) Connel was trying to say he was the better singer and acoustic guitar player, while noah and tyler insisted he wasn't. that night ended in bloodshed.. i broke them apart and noah socked me in the eyebrow :p

um, in other words, close friends can argue over really petty shiat.

The biweeklies would be at Grmo's house mostly, occasionally at other people's places depending on who can host.

it's kind of fun. josh, you should bring it to more smashfests, and grmo's biweeklies once those start up.

jake, i just had a thought - tell me if you hear about any part-time copy editing type jobs. i don't have any formal experience but i'm really good at it and i'll eventually need more money. =)
(also, my school schedule gives me a lot of free time)

Lawlb0t myself and Raidos will attend bi weeklies regularly if they were to be started :)
It's gonna be Melee only, is that ok? I can't host two games.

To all these posts: a PR would only work if we all came up with a precise system, as in tournament placings, and we posted all the data that the rankings were based on. Basically, if we made it so everything was clear and no arguments could happen. However, I agree with Jake; it's unimportant and we already would know who's the best. Plus there would always be some annoyed feelings, which we can avoid and have everything work perfectly without it.

also Jake, holy crap...that really sucks. I hate it when stuff like that happens.

lol, I haven't tried it. I heard it's pretty cool though.

stos and peterx didn't come to the tourney at all cause stos' parents couldn't give them a drive. i wouldn't have come either if i hadn't bused up friday night. when did people come visit you? cause i didn't hear about that either =P i thought desh was gonna on sunday morning but he left saturday night...and sunday morning no one mentioned anything. so yeah, i dunno. not sure what happened with that. sorry...
