Seriously, I think either Inui or Atomsk are most qualified to be NJ's panelist. They are the best and most active players in NJ, that actively play in New Jersey. Spam doesn't come to as much stuff to know how people compare as well, and M2k is like everywhere else, and rarely comes to NJ events.

Inui is biased.

  2. Did you enter the competitive community through Melee or Brawl?
  3. The (approximate) date and title of the first tournament attended
    (Note: For Melee Veterans, include both your first Melee tournament as well as your first Brawl tournament)
  4. The name and approximate date of the most major tournament you have attended in the last 6 months

Since it's been given my attention that a list for the entire Atlantic North is too hard to determine at this time, we're only going to make lists based on each of the three regions. I've also determined that DE will be grouped with Tri-state instead of MD/VA.

I've received several applications for Tri-state, but only one from New England. If you're interested, please send in an application asap. Any MD/VA applicants should send theirs to chillindude. Thanks, folks.

It's mainly to see the general accuracy and your opinion of things. It's suppose to be somewhat challenging, but I really wanted you guys to think about it.

I just made a top 15 for Atlantic North. >_>;

If that wasn't enough, let me know. I'll make a top 25 for the whole region if needed.

Does DE need to give you anything like a list of players and tourney attendance? I've been to CH3, Chu's first final biweekly and Hat's biweekly at Catonsville. I'm also going to C3 this weekend. I ask because DE's community is very small (like 10 people max play brawl....less play Melee.) I don't have that much experience and haven't placed high at all, but maybe someone else from our region could be a panelist if they are giving an oppurtunity. Sorry for asking so late.

I'd like to hear a representative from the DE community to see where they'd rather be placed with. Keep in mind that they had previously been sided with MD/VA.

I'm extending this to the end of November, because not enough players from the New England states have applied.

If New England doesn't have enough applicants by the deadline, then I'm no longer heading their Panel Rankings, and it will be their responsibility to work on it as MD/VA are.

I'll let everyone in the DE thread know so that we can decide who will represent us if possible. Thank you for extending the deadline.

DE player here. I don't think that there is a strong enough community for DE to follow the criteria you gave us. I think instead that we should just pick the two or so best players from the state that we'd like to represent us and go with that. Our members here either shouldn't be reps, interest in the game is waning, or they just aren't active enough on the boards. The community itself consists of about, as Xellos said, 10 people, no joke. And the numbers get even smaller for Melee.

If I had to elect about 4 people to be reps, it would be:

1. Xellos, he knows a ton of textbook knowledge and just plain keeps up on all the happenings and local tourneys more than anyone in the state
2. Tyrant, he's more experienced and tends to be more unbiased than most and generally plays well and knows his stuff.
3. Tru=, he is about, if not more experienced than Tyrant, and while can be biased in his decisions, his skill at the game is known throughout the state. He is very knowledgeable about the game, outdoing almost all others instate. Now if only we can get him to be more active, stop being so rash and reckless, and to practice more! The next shizwiz, Tru, the next shizwiz. It's all you, baby. And don't get on me about nobody telling you stuff, stay on the boards and come over to my house more often and we can always work something out.
4. Me, Cronux. I hang out with Xell and Tyrant and what it tends to be is that what they learn, I learn. I attend tournies for Brawl, and when my schedule starts clearing up again, hope to get back into Melee, as well. I used to attend Btree's tournies at his house about a year or 2 ago for Melee. I am active both in the scene (for Brawl) and on the boards (I try to) and am about on par with Xell himself for Brawl, and hopefully, soon to be Melee, as well.

Hope this helps clear some things up for DE.

Another DE player just throwing his thoughts out for this. Personally I'm more of a melee player but I have gone to a brawl tournie as well (WoZ may or may not recall a decent falcon that was with Ultima Scout). Our number are rather small in comparison to neighboring states but a few of us try to head out to some of the well known tournie scenes like Alukard's Bi-weekly.

As far my beliefs for who I would support to be a rep, my first thought turns to Xell (Nick Nasty on the boards) as I've been able to play him more often than some of the other Dover players and he definitely knows his stuff with these games and is modest enough to accept critique and gives his most honest thoughts. AKA: This dude will tell you straight vanilla

Tyrant and Tru= also recieve my support as they both have genuine interest and do make a point of trying to go to tournament at least on a acceptable basis. Its better if they give their thoughts on this thread for you to really get an idea of how they are.

Well, thats my thoughts

Yeah. It's hard deciding where to place me I guess. I'm trying to get ranked on the PA thread but idk.

why is this even an argument?

delaware is not a state; subsequently, it does not need to be lumped in with "other" states

To be honest, the only outstanding player I remember from DE is Fleur de Lis, and the reason DE was lumped with MD/VA was because he entered their tournaments more often than the other regions.

But you're not a DE player, silly, so you don't count.

The question comes down to this: Does DE travel to MD/VA more or to Tri-state more?

Really, MD/VA already started their panel without DE in mind so I should just lump them with tri-state.

In all honesty the people from Wilmington go to Tri-state, and the people from Dover go to MD...

I would say that the majority of smashers in DE have gone to more MD/VA tournaments than Tristate ones when it comes to Brawl. When it comes to Melee, besides Tyrant and myself attending Alukard's No Johns Biweekly, the smashers that I know also went to MD/VA for Melee. This is not counting UltimaScout or any of the smashers near Wilmington.

Oh. Well.

I dunno actually. LOL

It's probably because of how I travel through DE? I think 95 starts on the eastern side and comes out on the western side.
