*Pound* V: Why aren't you going to be there?

[TheTantalus]

Yes, yes, we know. You're already preparing the list of JOHNS of why you can't be there. I've heard it all before. You don't have a ride. You don't have money. You have school. You have court that day. You don't have a credit card.

Well guess WHAT! None of those excuses are going to fly with me! I want to hear why YOU aren't going to be at *Pound* V, and I'm going to happily tell you why that isn't a good reason. If you have a completely legitimate reason that I can't find you an option for (Family/Church stuff would be an acceptable reason), then that's ok, but for everyone else, I'm going to prove why your reasoning is bad.

Oh and by the way! I'm not just here to prove why it's bad, but to help accommodate you in any way possible! If you haven't noticed, I'm EXTREMELY arrogant but also helpful. I would love nothing more than for you to be there. This will be a new and amazing experience unlike anything you've seen.

So have at me.

 

[metalreflectslime]

This will be an interesting thread.

 

[TheTantalus]

Yep, I'm ready for all the "Planes are expensive" replies. woooooooo

 

[Andymosity]

not all of us have money to spend :/

 

[DanteFox]

not all of us are good enough to justify traveling that far when we have plenty of competition around here to beat first.

:o

If you are able to go to Pound, you're not going to regret it. Travelling across the country for smash is really fun.

I'm going to see Godspeed You! Black Emperor on Pound 5 weekend, so I'm not going. My john is super legit.

 

[TheTantalus]

You know, it's either time or money. I have money to spend, but no time to get over to Cali. I will eventually though. If you get a group of friends together, you can make it affordable and helpful. There are people in the smash community that know how to get buddy passes to help your stay.

Well then step up your game! Don't you want to be the best! Now i'm not too familiar with the local scene, so I don't know the Melee/Brawl locals around here. But you have the best players in the world at your training disposal (at least on weekends, right) so use them!

Every time I travel far for Brawl I have a blast. I can't wait to make a big trip to west coast some day.

Is only being 14 a legit reason?

 

[TheTantalus]

Actually, only being 14 is a very legit reason. Since you can't fly alone.

As for me paying for people, well I'm not really interested on helping people who we know can help themselves.

However, I would like to work out a deal with one of your TO's on winning some *Pound* entries. Who would I need to talk to?

 

[pockyD]

why can't you fly alone at 14

 

[metalreflectslime]

Finding people Buddy Passes or selling people Buddy Passes at a reasonable price is an alternative to paying for someone's plane ticket.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

I definitely flew alone when I was younger than 14.

 

[z00ted]

I'm going to WHOBO 3, which will be alot better.

yeah dont do that
dj nintendo has owed me $250 for over a year now

However, I would like to work out a deal with one of your TO's on winning some *Pound* entries. Who would I need to talk to?

you should probably talk to whoever is running Dont Go Down There Jeff
thats our next regional i think

 

[Brian]

yeah it is
although champ is hosting something and i wouldn't be surprised if there was a norcal presence there

 

[Zoap]

i believe in olden days(sheridan days) u had to be 12 or older to fly alone. Now adays it wouldn't surprise me if u have to have a guardian at checkin for anything under 16.

 

[Brian]

me and my sister flew together twice, i want to say 99/2000. i think she was 12 and i was 9/10

they were really accommodating on whatever we were flying. they had a like a special room we got to kick it in before the flight with books and ****. i just played pokemon the whole time im sure.

 

[DanteFox]

I flew alone when I was like 12. Not a legit john.

 

[The Greater Leon]

any flights before 9/11 probably dont count

idk how old yall were

 

[pockyD]

i first flew alone when i was 10

i don't see what 9/11 has to do with it; are younger kids more likely to be tarists? or more likely to attract tarists?

 

[The Greater Leon]

because airline security is DUMB

 

[LooksLikePit]

idk, the thought about airport screeners seeing my penis kind of turns me on

 

[TheTantalus]

Well I know when Ultimate Razer went to APEX last year he turned 15 2 days before his flight- had he not he would not have been permitted on the flight. That's my understanding, at least.

Thanks for the info folks, I'll see what I can do for incentives.

As for DJ nintendo, well that guy owes a lot of people money now, lol. Hopefully he ends up paying.

 

[ConnorTheKid]

is he banned from pound 5?

 

[The Greater Leon]

oh yeah actually i wanna know the answer to that too

cast summon:
plank plairnkk pound 5 pound v

 

[legion598]

im planning on dieing of a terminal illness 5 hours before hand. Ill also be in Jail for murder

 

[JDM]

He should be banned from life.

 

[NeoAkira]

lol why is school not a legit john for skipping a video game tournament?

 

[Dragoomba]

I have never ever played a single match offline because Idaho is a ****ing god-awful state in terms of Smash. So there's no point in me going when I have absolutely no offline experience.

Another thing is, like I said before, I live in Idaho. There's no way in hell I'd be able to travel by myself, and there's nobody here who plays this game competitively I could go with. ****, I can't even go to ****ing OR, WA, or CA tournies.
