K ur last statement is pretty ******** since GA has never been that inactive except when waba first closed.
note that I'm saying that if there was inactivity, that we would not have a PR. would you agree with this?
Even during the school year we have at least 8/10 of our pr members show up every tourney. The reason i want to wait is cause i see no reason to merge if our smash communities arent active with each other WHICH IS THE POINT OF THE MERGE, CAUSE WE ARE ACTIVE W/ EACH OTHER WE SHOULD BECOME 1.
Okay, so consider this.
-AL has no stable community with exceptions of GA tourneys.
-The strongest members of their community come to our tournaments consistently.
-Even lower ranking members of AL come to GA consistently, and are very find with coming
-The only instances where AL doesn't come is when GA doesn't show interest.
-They are active with us, granted it's not vice versa, it doesn't have to be. GA is a strongpoint of Alabama's community, if we make this official I'm quite sure more of AL will be willing to come to GA, which strengthens us.
If they dont have the ability to show up during school then it just becomes GA pr w/ elev8 and reflex which is dumb since if they wanted and if we allowed them to it could happen.
The answer to this statement is.
"....and?"
Does it matter if a person is inactive and because of that their skill isn't shown? We dropped Rayku even though he's a notable member of the GA PR. Is that dumb? No, because he didn't deserve to be on the PR.
I mean they both go to CSU so they could be considered GA like Billy is considered AL. I also said excluding Reflex and elev8 for a reason. We see them quite often but we dont see anybody from AL frequently at all. In the past year we have seen(besides regs) george twice, zero gamer once, and Kola once. Does this show activity between GA and AL?
You're making their attendance seem bad. While we've only seen them twice and once, how much of that has been recent? A great deal of it, they have shown constant willingness to come to these tournaments. By merging that gives alabama a MUCH larger reasoning to come to our tournaments. If they have no incentive to come to GA, they won't come. IF they do, they will. Especially considering reflex , billy, and elev8 can all give rides to my knowledge, they can all carpool with them.
Not really which is why i wanna wait and see if they come to us more often.
We can wait as long as we want, but with no incentive other than money, only reflex, elev8, and billy will come considering they all get money at these tournaments.
I dont want to be excluding people that could possibly be PR status just cause they cant frequently make the drive.
Once again, Reflex Billy and others make the drive, they would just have to Carpool to my knowledge.
I know if they cant make the drive its their fault but if 80% of AL cant make the drive every tourney then the merge becomes useless and i see no point to it.
The drive is really only two hours or so.. =| I really don't see why you're limiting Alabama so much when it's been shown that if Alabama has interest they will come, they have been doing so for a while.
And also, with this merge, I will still be doing the Georgia PR, so you really aren't losing nothing, just go to tournaments like you usually would.
@micealis - I feel as if you're saying that the PR has no power to strengthening the bond between AL and GA. If it's really that bad, we actually can make a larger list, so that even mid-high players can see how their skill fares against AL.
