INNsomnia V: Memphis, TN: March 30-31 Live Updates Online! See 1st post for details

[TAK$]

PrinceZ: i should have an answer for you later tonight when i go to chozens.

 

[DoH]

Zane: you seem to think i have influence over the good texas people...it's usually something like this.

DoH: Hey Xelic, lets go to Indiana tomorrow!
Xelic: lawlz, kk. I'll get Wes.

and then we play smash in the car for long periods of time.

And I don't really have any organizing power over oklahoma. since i think they're still mad at us for ditching their tournament.

 

[PrinceZane]

DoH - I know you do. I have faith

Sounds good TAK$ - Look forward to your posting

 

[Big Burn]

im almost 100% sure that i will be going to this with mike falco,smeesh,echo etc.... so u can mark me down for people that are planning on going...

 

[ThE_BaTmAn]

A yo a regional crew battle would be hot sause, should be looked into. And **** being able to post on my phone is the sexest **** ever hahaha

 

[Drumma_Boi]

man props forever zane becauase i think this is going to be the biggest INNsomnia yet and i have been to half of them and lemme say those were awsome!

 

[RAM]

Hey lance a lil birdie told me you were holding a pre tourney before Inn is this true?

 

[McCloud]

dude RAM i would take those mooninites off your sig.. they might think you're associated with terrorists since the mooninites struck Boston...



and I think Lance is too. I hope he is anyway.

 

[Kyo Kusanagi]

Hey, I might bake a blood cake for the winner of INN5, its going to look so bloody deliciously good.

@Also, say all players(In Singles or Doubles) want to unban a stage, can they go to it?

 

[Sargent_Peach]

Zane- Saw this rule in the Cataclysm tournement. Thought i'd bring it up cause I like it.
-Restart Rule - When a match starts and a player does not want to play the randomly selected stage he/she has 5 seconds to pause and quit the match so long as no lives were lost and no damage was given. Each player gets 1 per set (only applies to the first match of a set)

@McCloud- I so get what your talking about. Hope the police don't come shut us down for bombs.

 

[PrinceZane]

Sarg - I saw that on another tourney too. I don't particularly care for it. That's the point of it being random isn't it? You don't know what you get. Just cross your fingers and hope for the best. But you know how I am. If majority says it, then we'll change

Thanks Drumma - I agree. Milestones ftw!

Big Burn - Thanks for the update, I updated pre-reg

 

[Sargent_Peach]

I know, but it was just a thought. I kinda think its gay if your peach, or jiggs and you ban yoshi's story, and then you get FoD or Battlefield. some characters have better random stages than others, thats all. We should vote on it or something.

 

[Kyo Kusanagi]

Hold on now, that's not true, every character has gimp spots, all you have to do is find the gimpness. If you don't know what i'm talking about then your getting gimped everytime.

 

[PrinceZane]

That's why you have the opportunity to ban and counterpick stages.

Luck plays a decent part in a tournament - whether it's in the pools, brackets, or stage selection...

We can vote, I don't mind at all, I just personally don't feel it's necessary.

But then again, I also like MK2 so

 

[-Chad-]

I like the restart rule. If I ban FoD because I'm facing a Marth, and we get Marth's Story, then I can restart so I dont' give my opponent a free counterpick on me. He can still counterpick it later but it prevents me from being at a big disadvantage the whole set.

 

[PrinceZane]

Yeah, but some people who main more than 1 char, might pick Marth as their opening char just because he has more "Random" stages in his favor. If you can start banning multiple stages, then it could **** up a gameplan as opposed to a stage.

I dunno. I could care less about stages honestly. I'll play Flat Zone, it doesn't matter to me We'll let popular vote win

 

[Myztek]

I'm also for the restart rule. I see no down side to it.

It's not banning a stage if you use your restart. All it does is a restart, if you happen to get the same stage you restarted on the first time again, you have to play it anyway. The only thing I see this rule doing is to help people not get an unfair advantage because they got lucky with the first random stage.

Actually, when you choose random the second time, if it's still the same stage you chose to reset, then you reset again.

"2. The stage for Game 1 will be selected at random unless both players/teams can agree on a stage. After the stage has been randomly selected each player/team may call for a reset. Each player/team can only call for a reset once during a series. If a reset is called, another stage must be randomly selected. The stage that was first selected can't be randomly selected again, but is still available for a counter pick." - MLG

 

[-Chad-]

Ah well, to me that still is about the same. The chances of getting the same stage twice are quite low.

 

[lvl9]

*Hey Its LVL9 !

LOL chad said marth's story lol. So true. Hey Zane! hows it going man? I just found this thread after Sarg told me there was one. You know i will be attending this to event. I will probably be getting a hotel room too. any discounts? PM me details if you have any please. Also, for now you can put me down for an epic
[Strip of Extreme Power] and the legendary [Controller of Might]

 

[PrinceZane]

Hi LvL9. Come train. I think many people will surprise you

 

[Tom]

Personally, I think the Restart Rule is gay.

 

[McCloud]

personally, I think Elton John is gay.

o wait.




Anyway: it doesn't really matter to me whether or not restart rule is on or not; I can see arguments from both sides.

 

[Dukerislayer]

I believe that we have been playing long enough to know where on a stage we can gimped so i say just start making stage games a part of your routine.

 

[Kyo Kusanagi]

I agree, that rule is taking the fun out of the game, That means you can ban 4 stages out of the 7 neutrals and that's just lame. Its perfect the way it's setup, just like MLG's Rules.

@ How about we have a tourny for it? We'll have two sides, one for the rule, one who's aganist it. I'll be a 2 stock tourny with the restart rule, but you can only use one character with 4 mins instead.

 

[forward]

i'm going to this

 

[Virgilijus]

i'm going to this

Awesome

Is Taj coming?

 

[forward]

most likely

 

[PrinceZane]

I really wish Mookie hadn't retired now

Updated pre-reg. We broke 70, woowoo! Good to get some west guys on the roster too

That sounds "gimp".

 

[TAK$]

me and chozen are coming for sure, maybe 2-3 others but we wont know for like another week or two, so like, put me and chozen down atleast and i'll let you know if more come, we need housing too. =o

 

[forward]

I think the best rules are:

You can ban a non neutral stage from the set, so that it may not be played on. And you can strike on neutral stage from random select, but it may still be counter picked.

 

[-Chad-]

That's basically the rule we've been debating over, the restart rule or whatever. I don't see any downsides to having it as a rule, it just evens the playing field further between the characters. It's a rule they use in MLG's

 

[forward]

well in mlg you get to reset a random selected stage, what if the same one popped up twice? you'd be screwed

 

[-Chad-]

Actually, when you choose random the second time, if it's still the same stage you chose to reset, then you reset again.

You can't get it twice.

 

[Nite]

Are you saying that you can't random the same stage twice right after the other?

Also, Watty is too good. So good that he is on the pre-reg twice.

 

[Myztek]

It's a really simple rule. I don't see how people are misunderstanding it.

This is all it is: First of all, you ban stages like normal. One ban each. Then, you get to strike out a random/neutral stage. This neutral stage is still playable, but only by counter-picking it. It's just that you can't get it on the first match when selecting random.

I like the sound of it. ^_^

 

[PrinceZane]

Seems to be going over well. I'll give another day to think it over and we'll see. Sign atm are pointing to yes tho.

Fixed pre-reg, thanks nite
