Here's what I've done with the money. Using the Tio file / what people have told me from txt messages, I've calculated where the money has gone in three places:

#1 How much money each person actually got. Dojo physically received $469 for taking 1st in singles. We know this isn't the correct amount, but it's how much people ACTUALLY got.
#2 How much money each person SHOULD have gotten if Tio completed correctly and the payouts were set to 60:30:10.

The problem with #1 (Total of 1535 including Dugfinn's $80) and #2 (Total of $1575) is that there is a money difference of $120 (if we give Dugfinn her money back). I don't know how, but more money was missing than we thought.

#3 Is an alternative using only the money that exists. We give Dugfinn her money back and work with the -$120 pot of $1455.


I plan to resolve this at Phase 2 in the most fair manner possible. We don't have to decide know which pot split we go with, but I can figure it all out at Phase 2 after talking with everyone involved with money.


#1 How much money each person ACTUALLY got:

1v1 Total Pot = 670
1) Dojo 469 (70%)
2) Razer 134 (20%)
3) Gnes 67 (10%)

2v2 Total Pot = 520
1) Razer 182 (70% / 2)
1) Gnes 182 (70% / 2)
2) UTDZac 52 (20% / 2)
2) DMG 52 (20% / 2)
3) Dphat 26 (10% / 2)
3) LeeM 26 (10% / 2)

1v1 LowTier Total Pot = 185*
1) Bored 130 (70%)
2) LeeM 37 (70%)
3) Xyro 18 (70%)

2v2 LowTier Total Pot = 160*
1) Xyro 56 (70% / 2)
1) LeeM 56 (70% / 2)
2) FuriousDuffman 16 (20% / 2)
2) Burrito 16 (20% / 2)
3) Inui 8 (10% / 2)
3) Vex 8 (10% / 2)

Total Pot for all four events = 1535 (includes Dugfinn's $80)

*The reason these numbers are lower than below is because somebody forgot to mark some people as "paid" and therefore their money didn't go in the pot when it should have.



#2 How much money each person SHOULD have gotten:

1v1 Total Pot = 670
1) Dojo 402 (60%)
2) Razer 201 (30%)
3) Gnes 67 (10%)

2v2 Total Pot = 520
1) Razer 156 (60% / 2)
1) Gnes 156 (60% / 2)
2) UTDZac 78 (30% / 2)
2) DMG 78 (30% / 2)
3) Dphat 26 (10% / 2)
3) LeeM 26 (10% / 2)

1v1 LowTier Total Pot = 215
1) Bored 129 (60%)
2) LeeM 64.50 (30%)
3) Xyro 21.50 (10%)

2v2 LowTier Total Pot = 170
1) Xyro 51 (60% / 2)
1) LeeM 51 (60% / 2)
2) FuriousDuffman 25.50 (30% / 2)
2) Burrito 25.50 (30% / 2)
3) Inui 8.50 (10% / 2)
3) Vex 8.50 (10% / 2)

Total Pot for all four events = 1575



Ignore this, it's correct, but it's not how we are going to resolve the issue. The problem was money missing because of low tier events. Regular singles and regular doubles should stay the same.

#3 The alternate, using only money that exists. We give Dugfinn back her money

Total Pot for all four events = 1455 (using money people actually got without Dugfinn's money)

1v1 Total Pot = 670/1575*1455 = 619
1) Dojo 371 (60%)
2) Razer 186 (30%)
3) Gnes 62 (10%)

2v2 Total Pot = 520/1575*1455 = 480
1) Razer 144 (60% / 2)
1) Gnes 144 (60% / 2)
2) UTDZac 72 (30% / 2)
2) DMG 72 (30% / 2)
3) Dphat 24 (10% / 2)
3) LeeM 24 (10% / 2)

1v1 Low Tier Total Pot = 215/1575*1455 = 199
1) Bored 119 (60%)
2) LeeM 60 (30%)
3) Xyro 20 (10%)

2v2 Low Tier Total Pot = 170/1575*1455 = 157
1) Xyro 47 (60% / 2)
1) LeeM 47 (60% / 2)
2) FuriousDuffman 23.50 (30% / 2)
2) Burrito 23.50 (30% / 2)
3) Inui 8 (10% / 2)
3) Vex 8 (10% / 2)

Ok i just got back from saaing "paranormal activities"
I went and saw it because i love shows like "Coast To Coast AM" and stuff but this movie really really really made me feel like something was wrong. Like my gut or conscience was telling me i shouldnt be watching this movie( im not sure what this means)
and een right now i have a sick stomach and my head hurts. The movie had ZERO gore/sex/drugs but it did have one or 2 scenes of VERY VERY LITTLE blood.

It was mainly about how a young NORMAL couple lives in a house that becomes haunted(due to the demonic presence that has followed the female character) and how it messes with them. Sounds corny right? Well its based off of TRUE events and the film is made up of VHS tape from a video camera(meaning NO hollywood effects and no fake smoke and mirror ****). The film showed some ghosty type stuff then quickly got into some real demonic **** that literally scared the **** out of the entire movie theatre.


NOTE: i do not believe in aliens/ghosts/bigfoot/paranormal shiz....ect and i can point out and disprove 99% of that stuff but this movie had things in there i CANNOT explain(and whats weird is this stuff happened in 2006!!!!). I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE. Mainly for the sheer fact that my "insides" told me to leave halfway through the movie even though i refused.

Its not real xyro. Just a movie, with an 15000$ budget. Thats why you didnt have many of your hollywood effects. They had to film the movie in the producers house lol.

yea yea i know that part. The movie is based off of the REAL vhs tapes. On imdb.com in the forum section some guy made a post linking you to the orginal tapes(saw the thread before i left to go to the movie). I am there right now looking for the thread and i cant find it. So many people are making threads i cant find the original one.



And for the hell of it, lets say it is 100% fake. Why did i get the feeling of "you need to stop watching this movie"? Ive watched SO MANY blood/gore/scary **** movies in my life and NON of them have gave me that feeling.

Gremlins(when i was a kid it as scary)
Scream
Hills Have Eyes
Blair witch project
halloween
exorcist
the strangers



some of those movies have the MOST f-ed up stuff in them and yet i didnt get that feeling i did from PA.

Some of the stuff in The Hills Have Eyes was -unnecessary-. Gross. There have been quite a few movies out like that. Where it was just too... Much. Like Hostel. That was just too much. Not like in the "oh I'm scared" in the "horror porn" way.

HAHAHAHAHAH! ALLAN! You saw it too! xD I think everyone went to go see that movie lololol

I'm still waiting for a nice group of people to go watch it with me =P

I heard it was more frightening than scary. xD Good luck going to bed tonight fool

Paranormal Activities wasn't Gory or Scary I heard...just the fear that it will instill in you...oooo boi lol

Being scared isn't that bad lol it's actually a nice feeling. Watching gore...that's kind of pointless...

Being frightened....whole different story >_< Worst feeling in the world

EDIT: I do recommend you watch it with a big group of people and most of them should be girls...a few that you can comfort later on that night ;)

Being scared, from my definition is when someone jumps out and scares you and you are all like surprised and stuff..

Being frightened, is what you are most likely feeling right now lol that paranoid feeling that that movie just might actually be true. That something will begin to move. Weird noises will erupt from out of nowhere...the slight off chance that something from that movie can possibly happen...

Oh yeah... I am accepting any and all Money Matches for Phase 2.


So far I have 5 dollars vs Bear's MK.


Any takers? I would prefer to keep it at a dollar, but my mind is set on having serious sets with everyone. The money doesn't matter to me, I just want a guarantee that we will both go all out. I want to rep Texas and get better, and this will definitely help.


OH YEAH guys I'm going to be repping Texas in a Mexico national that I am going to in like 2 months. :)


Vorgy will conquer Mexico. :D

well if i go by that definition, i wasnt scared and i am not frightened. Creepy noises/shadows/ moving things can all be explained and i know how each and all of them work. So me being frightened wasnt the deal. The feelin i have now is the same feeling i got when i witnessed a car wreck/muder in 2001. I felt that there was evil around me. yea it sounds weird but i seriosuly felt it.

Lol. Fine, I'll take Inui too, heh. It'll be fun to scare him all during his stay, heh, heh.

I have delicious dreams about zombies on a nightly basis. Sometimes with a little biohazard on the side. Ghosts? Phsew. I got this.

Also, Suspect, add my name to your sig.
