Jesus... what the heck?
Rainbow Cruise my ***. What's up with that? Also, I didn't see Fountain of Dreams on the banned doubles stages. Also also, who is hosting the doubles tournament? Also also also, when will the doubles tournament be?
Also also also also, define "giving instruction." Would be saying something like, "SHOOT THE *****!!!" or "GO FOR THE KILL!" or "GO FOR THE SPIKE!" count as giving instructions, or still just cheering?
Seriously, your allowed and banned stages are still whacked. Why don't you just use the normal guidelines and that picture?

DuskMarthWater
Dude.
There's plenty of other OOS'ers that haven't ever visited NM before. I'm pretty happy about that. Oh and don't worry Trollthug, we'll give you a challenge. I hope...
Feel your dreads?!? That must be the strangest thing I've ever heard. Sounds tempting though, I must say...hmmm...
OMFG!!! I was a whole page behind!!! I posted to the wrong page...oops.
Anyways...CALIFORNIA?!? Whoa...now this is definitely starting to get really interesting. Man...I think I might die of excitement.
I gotta check this counterpicking crap out...edit in a minute.

I like what Zoap has done for us. Not only is it much more organized, but legitimate and makes sense unlike the discombobulated thing you constructed SinZ. I suggest that we put that as the first post, mentioning the discount at the top.
Now, will someone please answer my questions?

To answer your questions, Davis.
I don't think that's "giving instruction", so long as you're not telling them to do any specific moves or anything.
The stages list isn't whacked anymore. Rainbow Cruise is allowed, always has been, even says so in the picture you posted, so I dunno what your issue with that is.

See, the HOST of the tourny thinks dreads are cool. Especially mine, my dreads either smell like: Peppermint, Cinnamon, Skittles, or Berchamont (the stuff in earl gray tea).
For real, my dreads are too good to be true.
Kashakunaki
Smash Master
Well, no offense, but I'd rather Everett define "giving instructions" seeings how it depends on his ruling.
Also, Rainbow Cruise never has been, and most likely never will be, a neutral stage. I don't care about a counter pick or a doubles, though I'd be annoyed if someone picked it, that's not what I'm talking about.
EDIT: I am interested in his dreads... this could be a once in a life time opprotunity.

Rainbow cruise has not been a neutral for MLG for a very long time( I think the beginning of the 2005 season). Currently it is available for counterpick in singles and is a neutral in doubles. I thought I explained that the rules I posted are from MLG themselves, but I guess some dont know how to read or just dont want to.
then why are we arguing lol :O

So this hotel, it says on the first page the address and all, but is this the TRUE location? It also says that it isnt confirmed.

Yeah, I agreed with you already Zoap.
DBR? Omg, that'd be so ****ing awesome, you have no idea.
Rofl, you tell him ABS. Can I get a woot woot?
Andras, you just register when you get there. Registration is something like, 12:30-...I don't think there is a specified time. I'm gonna say half an hour to an hour. Free play is 11:00-12:30.
Duha, I said I might be able to house you guys if I have to, though I personally don't see anything wrong with sleeping in a car. Seems to me like it would add to the experience.
Also, ignore the first post Rasta. It is such a hodgepodge mess. Look at Zoap's post a page or two back. That's what should be copied and pasted to the first post.

Ok
Sleeping in a car isnt fun man! Its like the opposite of fun, its only fun when a person awake screws with the people that are asleep, then takes a picture of what he did.
