Sorry for the location mistakes. If I got something wrong, don't hesitate, tell me !

Also, thanks to Teczero for fixing this :)

Edit :
Any other errors?

Slhoka - If you'd like the revised list let me know, I'll send it to you.
No, thank you. I actually use a spreadsheet that formats the bbcode and everything automatically, so I don't really have any use for the transformed list.

Edit 2 : And anyway, I can have it by quoting the post lol

I'm useful I think, but I'm pretty Smashless. I'll try again once I've got experience in BC and begin dominating as the next rising Sheik. 4 more weeks. ;D

I haven't ignored it and it will be handled. I didn't know he stopped reading the boards. I'm not gonna disappear from the Earth and not pay him. So relax yourself.

How much was it to enter into Pound 5? Like, 50 bucks? But you need to stay somewhere and eat too (admittedly, one could get free housing with a local player probably but eating is somewhat of a necessity; even packing food beforehand costs money). Plus there's the cost to get there...

I mean, I don't want to get too involved in this or anything, but if you owe someone else money, but you're also taking $100+ dollars pleasure trips to smash tournaments, it's hard to believe much effort is being made to repay the debt. Especially when it drags for over a year...

Missing Pound could easily cover halfish of the debt. You can't really make the argument that you expected to win teams or something to make money, either, because you're not that good...

I dunno. What effort have you made?

I blew over 500+ dollars at Pound 5.
Cuz I was one of the innocent ones that paid for two rooms and only housed 4 people in each.

REQUIRED

1. Q. How long have you been playing competitive Brawl-?
A. Zero years but I brought it to my friends house and I only lost three times

2. Q. How often do you attend tournaments? How familiar are you with your local scene? Your regional scene? The national/international scene?
A. I have never missed a single tournament ever, however you may not have seen me as I am very sneaky and probably tricked you into thinking I was someone you knew.

3. Q. How would you classify yourself as a player relative to the current metagame? (beginner, average, high level, pro, etc.)
A. Ghost Commander

4. Q. Do you think the other individuals in your region would support you being a member of the MBR? Why?
A. Yes because I have kidnapped all of their daughters and if they ever want to see them again they'll cooperate. I don't bluff.

5. Q. Do you consider yourself a discussion leader? Why?
A. No, more of a Discussion Emperor usually.

6. Q. Are you an active Tournament Organizer? If Yes, what are some recent tournaments you have hosted? If No, what are some ways you feel you contribute to your local scene despite not being a TO?
A. Oh man I host so many tournaments all the time! They are totally real and lots of people go to them but you probably haven't heard of them because they're pretty exclusive and you weren't invited (unless I get into the MBR maybe....)

7. Q. Do you feel that the current tier list is accurate? Why?
A. I like when fox uses his gun but not when other people use it against me its cheap then

8. Q. Do you feel that the current MBR recommended stage list is fair? Why?

A. Dumb question, skipped

A. Yes because eventually all the members will get old and die and they'll stop making wiis and those will probably break

13. Q. What do you think could be done to expand our community?
A. Free "Not-Getting-Shot" with every venue fee

14. Q. What do you think the MBR could do to stimulate the community?
A. I've got a lot of ideas, though I stole a lot of them from the kama sutra

15. Q. How do you think the MBR would benefit from your input?
A. See: Above

3. Have you read Sirlin's theories regarding "Play to Win"? Do you agree or disagree? Why? How do you think these theories affect and apply to the Melee community?
1. Answer: Whenever I read the word "Sirlin" I think of sirloin steak but that is sometimes delicious and sometimes really bad.

OK, fine, I'll do it.

I say that like someone pressured me into doing it. Actually, no one cares whether I do this. But I'm starting to feel left out of the party.

How long will it take for my application to be reviewed???

A. 8 years

2. Q. How often do you attend tournaments? How familiar are you with your local scene? Your regional scene? The national/international scene?

I was the one who got the MBR going again! And now you won't even let me back in without filling out an application like all the hoi polloi?

Umbreon was denied?

Wow.

:phone:
honestly, there are a lot of reasons as to why I'd be denied and most of them are probably pretty reasonable (pissed off a lot of people, cussed out the owner of the website in public, super arrogant application, haven't played in tournaments in forever, etc.), but I'd be surprised if they were reasons that were intellectual in nature (inability to debate, not smart enough, etc.)

i was kind of sad until I saw who actually got added, and then I saw the new debate guidelines and now I don't really care. I would have liked the ego boost I guess of other people thinking I'm "smart", whatever that means in an undefined context. But as soon as I saw the new guidelines I would have quit the user group anyway like I did for the BBR. It's a little shallow and spiteful, but it was probably for the best anyway and saved at least teczero from wasting his time.

look ^ you broke him


hey I'll pay 10$ per character for a purple name
not to be in the mbr
i just want a purple name
lol

it's more like the MBR became something i'm not really interested in anymore. i don't disagree with their decision to change it or to deny me, it just worked out that way.

good luck andy, you got this!
