this is coming from alex strife - Now magically their moods changed and they did not care about time.
now alex didn't know but i spoke to sha the manager and told him you can't do that to people. you have players that came from long island, staten island, new jersey and you can't just keep changing rules. let the people finished the tournament.
ighttt now this is where bum like always be real. from what i just read.... there is two sides to the story. the staff is now saying that alex was the one that decided to do all those changes. regardless i told alex very good job and glad you hosted the tournament.
if you was to ask the staff i actually manage to help out in this tournament and actually change the mind of the manager in which we ended up having time till whenever because i was straight up with him and after i did even atomsk gave me a hug and said thanks.
now i can see both sides of the story in which people got to understand. i only have one problem with alex on this tournament. the venue fee CANNOT BE 5 DOLLARS. i understand and appericate you want to dedicate to the community and much respect to that. at the end of the day though this is business and 5 dollars is not good. the store lost out on that in which is why he was angry. i would be angry to if i had a crazy huge amount of people... but yet i lost out. also 5 dollar venue fee just allows anyone to come and they figure well i'm not losing much so let me come to this. which is maybe why we saw 50 more randoms than we usually do.
now the store part. sha the manager wild out and actually said he wanted to hit someone. now i also hear you a miltary person........ if so i don't understand how you couldn't contain your composure cause first thing is to learn how to maintain, but of course we are human. now i know you allow this tournament to happen and that's good, but now i see it like this.... you was probably expecting 70 people and if you knew it was 5 dollars venue fee....... you would of lost out even more and to me you should of did your math and see what would of been good to put as a venue fee.
now this is the thing. the second story actually says that you told alex to make it 10 or 15 dollars venue fee and if so you was thinking smart and reasonable. i love and hate the smash community and i always said that. what alot of smashers don't understand is that when you own a business especially now with the econmogy or however you spell it lol mess up, you need to make a profit within your place of business.
to me honestly smash players get it to good and i know times is rough, but remember that both sides need to come out happy. the smash players/community comes out happy and the store is good cause it made or surpassed what it is suppose to make.
example. the bx venue in which i host, inui says 10 venue fee is to high....... when its actually reasonable ... not even thats actually consider good in my eyes. it's not to much and both sides come out happy. we get to have our tournament and have fun. the store can stay open and continue to have more tournaments.
ya have to contribute in order for things to get better and continue to stay on track, if not things will eventually get derailed and run no more. we want to have tournaments correct.? then we have to provide for our venues and help them help us.
yesterday i helped out alot and i didn't have to.... but it's about standing together and helping out especially when you see someone stressed such as alex. it was 170 plus people. thats alot and only blue, bum and wes later on helped. when reno comes to my tournaments, i don't even have to ask him to help. this guy just comes and assist me. thats what the community should be about.
now crimas got mad and i got scared lol. i didn't ever see her like that and that tells you things got really serious in the store. ifffffffffffffffffffffffffffff there was to ever be a smash monthly again.... communication has to be better establish between both parties before it is to happen. to me the staff was cool and actually was respectable. the issue i had was that only two or three staff members actually helped out and the rest seem like naaa i ain't messing with this lol..... which i can understand, but if ya would of helped regardless if you ain't want to, things would of went faster. well you know what...... who was the staff working that night?
i wish the venue had chairs cause my leg literally gave out. that may be the biggest issue in my eyes. people have to be comfortable no matter the environment and alex did his best considering the situation. i think alex and sha need to cool down and then talk. obviously alex did double or triple what he said so that shouldn't be the issue. sit down, talk and if things don't work out, then they don't.
SHOUTOUTS
alex strife- good stuff. mad respect for the tournament being thrown and who expected that many numbers lol. that was impressive. like i said, the only problem was the venue fee was to low for a monthly.... it's not a weekly. it should of been raised, other than that it was great.
