Sigh, I feared as much. Well how about this, if you want to give it one more shot at returning the Jiggs boards to order and getting some good and new discussion going on I'm with you 100%. I'd be willing to give it one last go before giving up on the boards. If you'd rather not, I totally see where you're coming from. As for staying at your place, we have plans to get a hotel, but it's not going all to well. We have to rent for 2 nights, etc. We're busing out to Hamelton, that much is set is stone, but we could stay if you live particularly close to hamelton/the tourney, but we'd also need a ride there and back. Thanks a lot for the offer, though. Would I be able to take you up on it some other time?
The problem with leaving the Jiggs boards for me is that I really only have one main. Jiggs feels natural to me, and without the Jiggs boards, I won't have any reason to go on the boards at all. Actually, to tell the truth I might be leaving the whole smash community soon, and the loss of my character's board wouldn't help.
This whole thing with banning MK is totally ludicrous and he ends up getting banned, I will have lost faith in the SBR as a whole, and would most likely leave because of that. One thing that Jiggs has going for her is how she can hold her own against MK, and without that I cannot seriously continue to main her and still say I plan on winning anything at all. Besides MK not being around for her to do well against, there will be many more Snakes, who she doesn't do well against. Even if I did use another character, I would still feel that the SBR has made an unrecognisable mistake, and don't know if I'd want to keep playing.
Even if he doesn't get banned, I might still leave. Recently I've been questioning my own ability to play. Lately, I feel that I haven't been playing my best. As many of you know, I have problems with muscles in my neck being all messed up and it leads to almost constant vertigo and overall crappiness of varying intensity. This could be causing my lack of play ability, as I sort of feel held back while I play. I might have just lost interest in playing, or I'm no longer good at this game.
I really don't know, but I feel that Havoc in the Hammer will be the deciding vote for me. If I can play generally well, or even just see how to improve, I probably won't leave. If I don't feel well enough to play due to my condition, then my condition is currently too bad for me to even think of playing Smash competitively. If I'm at a tourney I planned to go to for a month, and I feel great that day and I'm in the winners bracket, and then someone bumps into me particularly hard, then it's over. My condition is bad enough that without maybe 30-60 minutes with an icepack in a quiet room I won't even play a fraction as well as before. My stamina really takes a dive because of it too, so simply the length of a tourney can screw me over. I'd be willing to give the tourney thing another go after I recover, though.
Anyways, sorry about this wall of text and my johns and complaints, I just felt that I should get that out there. If anyone found this post too long... Well, you won't be reading this, lol.
I'd like to say though, it's probably unlikely for me to leave, as I doubt MK will be banned, and I will be training pretty hard for Havoc. If I did leave the community, the worst part about it would be not seeing a lot of you guys again. At first I came for the Smash, but I really feel that I've made some great friends at Cam's place. I always have a blast with you guys, and I'd truly miss you all if I left.
