TLDR version:

I am SO sick of smash/certain people of this community/drama and the insane amount of common sense that is MISSING from this scene. You people only think about you you you and not the rest. I drive 1.5 to 2 hours to pick-up/drop off people for events. I drive people 8+ hours to an event. I stay up till 5:30am fixing a flat tire(which i did not cause) in oklahoma for a person who now dislikes me for my OPINION about him. I gave up my spot in an event so another player who was left out of the bracket for some reason(fs6). Ive let certain people into my events for FREE because they were broke but really wanted to go. Ive help people with personal problems. Ive apologized for people(innui) who were rude during teams to certain friends of mine(dphat/bwett). Do i not go around and ask you people at each and every event "are you ok?" Do i not get you a chair to sit on or a table to lay on(broly only). Do i not check up on you and offer basic help when you have your ****ing jaw ripped open and are in constant pain? Does Xyro ever express his willingness to come over and talk to your parents about you going to FS6 or a HOBO or SWAT or OHSNAP 5? I think about others, why can you?

Im not asking for a thanks. Im not banning meta because its what XYRO WANTS(by banning meta ive actually increased the falco's/diddy's/ddd's/marth's........all of which MOLEST SAMUS)i ban him because i feel its FAIR and it WILL keep this game alive longer. Im not pointing fingers, im simply asking YOU PEOPLE to STFU when it comes to complaing or saying things like "what will it take for you to listen?" ACCEPT MY RULES or DONT and in both cases, PLEASE SHUT THE **** UP AND PLAY THIS GAME!






PS: in just a few short months i will be gone and YOU PEOPLE can run this place to the ground and piss on it for all i care.
I never said I dislike you, I just said you lost my respect for slander behind my back.

Allan, your post was ridiculous and irrelevant as hell.

NOBODY STEALS WINS FROM PLAYERS. If someone loses to me playing MK they deserve it.

Let's see. Dojo wins, because he's ****ing amazing, not because he plays MK. He got what place at HOBO 17? Playing a 2 tourney old Diddy?

You may be "helping out" this region, but your keeping OOS players from coming HERE, AND your keeping us from going OOS in fear that we're not ready for other tourneys.

You're like a dead-beat dad trying to provide for his son. You can't really cook well, but you can order food because it's easy. Try makin' dinner for once, Allan. Try makin' dinner.

You're blaming Xyro for OoS not coming to Texas events, AND for us not going OoS ourselves?

Make an tournament without MK banned. Hell, I bet Xyro'd help you because he's a nice guy. That'll solve the problem.

Xyro can't be the only person who hosts tournaments in Texas.

...you know how I said I had a high fever during hobo18? Well, I've had it since and we went to the doctor and waited for 4 hours. That was one longest doctor's waits I've ever had.

As for the doubles cost, I'm not sure I'd want to enter doubles if it's $10 each. If you make dubz to $10, and singles to $5, I'd probably enter. $20 is too much for me if I can just play friendlies anyways.

This is true. Though I don't like how Xyro takes away every player who plays MK's victories from them, I respect his choice to ban mk. Other people can host other metaknight legal tournaments. Step it up guise.

Dude, STFU. It's his choice, if you don't like it quit going to his tournies. He is gonna do whatever he wants to do. And Xyro I'm sorry if I annoyed you in any way with my constant questioning of Smash 64.

BTW, if you need any help running the tourny hit me up man,

Best host on the east coast? really :laugh:

Apex was amazing cause everyone helped not one person as it should.
That team was formed by me. Magus, my dad, and Rigel did sooooo much behind-the-scenes things that made the event possible in the first place.

In fact, my dad was the most important person by far. If he didn't make those power strips, boost the AC, etc., it wouldn't have been physically possible to make the event happen.

My strength as a host is my ability to create a strong team and command it. I know what everyone can do, and I have them do what they're best at. It's that simple.

I'd argue I always get the same , if not more, for teams than he does plus i get a lot for singles and stuff.
When you compare singles and doubles turnouts, not really. I get like the same numbers for doubles but I have less singles entrants by a few.

Your event is also next to NYC, which is fuxing amazing for you. I'm an hour or more from NYC. Sorry, but I don't have the largest city on Earth to pull attendance from nor does my event take place in a huge city like Jersey City. :(

CM sometimes you really do not know as much as you try to show. I can argue why things were the way they were at Apex and such on aim keep it out of this. I do not like being put in the same boat as people like him.
If you don't like being in the same boat as me...



Leave my crew, stop talking to me so much, and stop being nice in person and on AIM and then a massive trash talker behind my back. I know for a fact that you have been saying terrible things about me for the past several months. I've heard this from many reliable people and I've seen AIM logs. You keep making comments like the one above implying I'm some sort of demon or terrible person.

I am elitist. This is because I am elite. I will always think that way, I will always be this way. If you expect others to tolerate your flaws as a person, you should tolerate the flaws of others.

When you people can find a way to CP meta by character and stage, i might consider making him legal.
Snake beats Meta Knight almost everywhere.

Meta Knight kinda sucks on FD.

Ice Climbers and Diddy Kong on neutrals win or go even.

The old Melee scene was pretty cool.

The NEW Melee scene is atrocious, though.

Allan. Lots of people respect you as do I. You've done AMAZING work as a T.O.

You've helped the old, the current, and will the future generation of smash. This is just one decision I disagree with. You didn't need to over react like that. I know its frustrating for you but this is something that will be brought up time and time again.

You're still an amazing T.O. Just cool down. I also respect your actions.

Thats not a good compromise.. have MK banned in singles until our big tournaments, then we get ***** by all the OoS mks.. making MK look broken only to give you more reason to have MK banned here.

Hmm, go back and look at the results for OOS players attending my meta banned events(iirc, oos/oon showed up to each and every one). I wonder if they showed up. Oh and me banning meta does not mess with tx traveling to oos events, lol! Dont tell me your that stupid.

Stealing wins, i never stated dojo steals wins. You CHOSE to pick dojo for this argument.


The dead beat dad thing literally had nothing to do with anything YOU or ME. Bad example, son










Razer, this is not a over reaction. i understand this subject would be heated( i kne wit the moment i banned him)

Just for the record, I attended HOBO 18 because I wanted to spend time with DugFinn and the two doubles events gave me a chance to turn this into a very cheap trip. If MK was banned at a large regional event, I'd certainly never normally go.

I'll go to HOBO 19 if Lee Martin teams with me. :)

I don't talk to you in person I like to avoid you. I have told you stop being a **** in person a few times recently. I listened to trevor believing he could make you a better person and I just feel that people like you will never change. Never in my life have I seen people like you in person and it is hard to deal with. I try to be nice to everyone but you are the only person I avoid like a plague in person.

I am glad that people report to you about how you bother me sometimes. As far as events go I do not want to go about how I can do things vs you cause I have people who would argue for me about that. I said Apex was everyone's event not mine or yours. You did your part and I did mine. I feel that you bring yourself up too much and you should have some humility about things.

The dead beat dad wasn't meant as a personal attack.

It's an analogy.

I'm saying, instead of keeping Metaknight legal, and being the only person to ban him, you're taking the easy way out, instead of keeping him legal.

And who are you referring to as someone who steals wins?

Bear, on the PR?

Light, who's an amazing player as is?

Please let me know.

And Kingdom, I bet literally any amount of money, any stakes, a cinnamon challenge, anything, that I can not only beat you, but 2 stock you at least in a set.

Name your price, please. Please........

We arent saying anything about you as a person, we know you care, we know your a cool guy. But a good amount of us would like to be the best we can be at this game. And since we only have a few MK players in texas, we need OOS help... Actually, ima just stop here, since hobo is pretty much every first week, maybe we should get something going on the 3rd week of the month.Kinda like biweeklies, and we gonna have to build the hype ourselfs.

FINALLY.

Seriously, Jerm, all you have to do is organize your OWN tournament to solve the entire dilemma revolving around Xyro's HOBOs.

Leave them be.

an analogy that had nothing to do with anything i said or you said.

Please do research when trying to make me look bad. Several cites/tournies/states across the usa have banned metaknight. I am not the only one.

As for the stealing of wins, go do home work.

But a good amount of us would like to be the best we can be at this game. And since we only have a few MK players in texas, we need OOS help.
Jerm, your constant complaining about not having enough meta exp is just flat out YOUR FAULT. Ive mentioned SEVERAL ways for you to get it and you refuse but still complain.


And to be fair, do you REALLY think you will beat dojo/tyrant/m2k? Ill help you out, no. if the BEST TLs out there cant do it and SANTI(who played dojo for decades) cant do it.........you have no hope. The lower level meta you will beat already(because you are just flatout awesome at this game) but the ones ive mention you wont.

You're right. I will not change.

What will you decide to do now? Continue to act friendly with me in person and then say terrible things behind my back while remaining in a crew that I am a leader of? I'm sure you and Atomsk get along fine, but don't stick around if you hate one of the leaders so much.

I am glad that people report to you about how you bother me sometimes. As far as events go I do not want to go about how I can do things vs you cause I have people who would argue for me about that.

I tell it like it is, and will state exactly what I do for events. I don't think that's talking myself up, because to me, it's just the facts of what I do.

I already said that I focus on creating a strong team of people with various strengths and then I command that team to do what they're good at. That's how I host. I am humble in the sense that I admit I need people like Magus to make my events awesome and I need Izumi as a driver to get people from the train stations.

I love my team, and I show my appreciation by paying them well.

i think we all understand that crystal clear
I'm just making it clear that OOS players beyond Lee Martin's group don't go to these, sadly. >_>;

cant say that xyro. all tls are different, no matter what statistics say. if that was the case why do people compete? its the same as saying hylian will never beat razer. of course he can, with dedication. just because odds are against him, doesnt mean he'll never do it.

im pro ban, but thats a horrible reason to protect his win

No amount of meta exp will allow jerm or any TL to consistantly beat those 3 metas. That can be said for 95% of the cast

When you people stoping posting "too good" or "your sexy" or "have my babies" or "u mad" or any other ****ing stupid over-used slogan that is 100% annoying and seen in every other god **** post, i might consider bringin him back.

When you people quit complaining about the small **** and show a SLIGHT bit of respect/appreciation for the work i do and the **** i go through to make each and every event i RUN or HELP RUN as much fun as possible(you know who you are), then i might consider bringing him back.

When you people accept that i am allowed to run my events ANY WAY I ****ing want and you MAKE the ****ing choice to go to each and every HOBO, then i might bring meta back.

When you people stop posting one-liner posts for 3-4 **** pages, then i will consider the return of metaknight.

When you people stop sucking other players **** or following popular opinion or whats "cool" and make up your own **** mind on issues, i could consider bring metaknight back.

When you people(the very same ones who ***** about the event running late) show up on time to events, then i might consider having metaknight legal.

.
Allan, all of this was an overreaction. Having someone "meatride" someone shouldn't be a reason to ban a character. Thats stupid really. I'll stop there about it.

Dude, no TL can even beat my MK (sorry but I have indeed ***** you all at some point and only lose or come close to losing if I can't powershield), let alone the three best ones. >_>;

It's a horrible match-up and probably TL's worst one.

The TL players are typically very smart and amazing.....but the character isn't that good. :(

I dont think Jerm was talking about just himself. Also it's not like saying MK vs TL is 100-0 It's still a winnable match-up /:
MK is beatable it's not like MK is just an autowin.
Theres no simulation feature in smash.

hmm if doubles is 10$s each i wont enter it even i singles become 5$s
This sure makes lots of sense, lmao...

What is with the dislike of doubles in TX? It's gross. I don't see it anywhere else.

Doubles is loved and glorified over here.

^ Agreed. There are no 100-0 matchups in this game.
Ganondorf vs anything.

I mentioned all of those random things because i needed to vent. I truly am getting sick of all of this. Ive been doing it for too long and too much dumb stuff happens and im just simply tired of it.

and razer, it was OBVIOUS those were NOT reasons why i banned him......come on man

I think the best advice is always to not pay attention to you. I see that as the easiest way to a problem like you. For the record about Atomsk he does not talk to me on aim or in person as much so as much as I tried to talk with him he does his own thing which is fine.

I tell it like it is, and will state exactly what I do for events. I don't think that's talking myself up, because to me, it's just the facts of what I do.

I love my team, and I show my appreciation by paying them well.
I see many words of power here. I take a more relaxed approach. I just get people to help me and that's it. I do not COMMAND or CREATE STRONG TEAMS that are already there. I can stay in this thread and argue for you days on end that I have done what you have done and more. I am at the point where I have things done for me by my request cause I am smart enough to know not to put all my time into the little things when I have others who are going to do it for me just like I did at Apex and my other tournaments.

As far as money...that is great you all get paid and I thank you for Apex money you gave me that I used to reimburse Crismas for the badges she made + giving Tx a Cab ride home so they can not worry about getting back to the Airport on time. Yup yup a $150 cab ride that I helped them pay for ( I forget the amount but I paid for most of it IIRC ).

I do not see you as a person that states facts. I see you as a person that needs to remind himself that he has to mean something. You use facts and , at times, skew them to make yourself feel better. At times I pity beings like you but now I feel that you will always do horrid things to others and make them feel bad. With that in mind, despite your decent qualities, I find your greed and desire for your own well-being to borderline pure evil. No one should ever follow in your footsteps as a player or even a person. I see to many why you are arguably the most hated smasher and I see that you stay around cause you like that people hate you and that you want people to acknowledge you. That is your power and how you feel good about yourself. I am proud to be nothing like you and that I have all the things you could never have. I am glad that I pride myself on things like being a good person and doing unto others as those do unto me. I like being a good person and helping others.

ive seen dire vulcan and bum and neo(roy) and taj and gimpy do insane things to very well know players multiple times. Melee did NOT have 100-0 match-ups.......MAYBE pichu or something but in brawl, there is a **** load of them.



There are no 100-0 matchups in this game.
you use snake, you wouldnt understand.



and im not mad at you razer. im simply angry at the people that fit under the "YOU PEOPLE" field. They know who they are. and to repeat, the NON meta items were simply my way of venting.

This conversation is over. I will no longer derail this thread with an arguement between two Atlantic North players.

I am proud to be nothing like you and that I have all the things you could never have. I am glad that I pride myself on things like being a good person and doing unto others as those do unto me. I like being a good person and helping others.
This part, however, is too funny to not address... I feel exactly the same way. Haha, isn't that something?

You don't know me.
