[jugglinguy]

if this gets anywhere, I'll pitch in a total of 1000 creds, so work on getting everything very detailed, especially the process to take an ss, and work on getting some more people.

[travman301]

I support the idea of an exclusive newbie tourney. I will help you anyway I can. :D

[falcondude]

I'll donate another 1000. This might make newbies join, judging by the people that beg for 100 credits.

[tbellx12]

I updated.:D

[CR_fLiP_fOaM]

lol 100 credits haha.

I'll just play 3 songs and I'll earn 120 credits already

[NarutoFoxDemon]

I'll join, and donate 3,000 Credits >.>

[XBmaster]

I'd like to join please

[dudelogan14]

um no just stop plz

?
Stafoo.
Ill donate 2k.

[Boatz]

I'll join but I can't really donate...sorry.

[Engler]

Count me in.

[XBmaster]

I think that even for the first round a harder song than Free Space should be used, I mean even someone who's never played before can get a AAA with just a little practice. It should be a song that's hard for us, even if it's not necessarily hard for everyone. I was thinking something in the 4-6 difficultly range, but it's your tournament so do whatever you want.

[Boatz]

Shhhhh! i just AAAed Free Space...

[XBmaster]

Should we start posting now, or wait till the person running the tourney says GO!

[pokelda]

I like how tournament is not in caps

[ELRayford]

Well Here You go file:///C:/Users/Eliot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-10.jpg file:///C:/Users/Eliot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-11.jpg file:///C:/Users/Eliot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-12.jpgfile:///C:/Users/Eliot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-13.jpgfile:///C:/Users/Eliot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-14.jpg tbellx12.

[XBmaster]

I'm not going to bother playing the songs and posting until the person running this tourney posts the pairs and tells us to, because at this point, it seems like he's left town.

I'll be waiting though.

[TC_=MaxXFreaK=]

[Boatz]

He's ran to Mexico with the donations...<_<

[tbellx12]

sorry guys, I was away for a little. I might not be here July 2 since my familys camping right now, but i am STILL here lol. Without further adu:

Okgood?

[XBmaster]

Here is my score

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/XBmaster/freespacescore.jpg

We don't need the tiebreaker score by the 6th do we?

[tbellx12]

Just to address a few points:

RELYKS: You can join, but you might not be able to find a partner, like it says in the tourney info, sign ups close tomorrow at 4pm eastern when the round ends.

XBmaster:Since you and your competetior both Triple Ad Free SPace, the screenshots for Trip to the moon should be posted by 4pm eastern tomorrow. The same goes for any pair who triple As the song.

[XBmaster]

Thanks for the update, but weren't the prizes a little higher a few days ago (maybe I'm not remembering right, but maybe you just forgot to update the first post???).

Now I'm off to AAA Trip to the Moon

EDIT: Took me 4 tries

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/XBmaster/tttmAAA.jpg

Also, after I log off tonight I won't be able to get back on till after 4 PM tomorrow, so adding any super tie-breakers would be unfair in the case that we tie.

[Coda375]

free space

[Trumpetman4eva]

question: if our opponent submits a tie like...10 mins before the deadline, do we get more time?

[tbellx12]

if your opponent submits the tie break 10 mins or less before the deadline, an extension of 24 hours will be given for round one

[stevo911]

so to everyone plz dont submit a score 10 minutes b4 the deadline thats not fair to the rest of us ; )
i think i might be able to AAA all the songs u choose : ) im feeling like a pro already lol
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u315/elementrider911/tttm.jpg

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u315/elementrider911/freespaceAAA.jpg

[OMGfat123]

im guessing i should be AAAing...but nah your right i don't want to ruin it :). but what i will do is donate some credits if i can, just not at the moment.

[Coda375]

First round should be over...now.

So, when is the next round going to start? We're not waiting for any tiebreakers, everything looks set for the next round.

There are some player matches that didn't even have anyone submit, so shouldn't they both be eliminated?

[XBmaster]

tbellx12, it would be better if you were here when the tournament rounds start and end, because there would be a lot less confusion as to what's going on.

Pick times that work for you, it is your tournament after all.

[pkskier43]

can i join please

[Coda375]

pkskier, im pretty sure he already put you in, but the round SHOULD be over by now, so you're out of luck I think.

XBmaster, i agree with you, it would be unfair if he's not true to his word and ends the round now.
EDIT

Is anyone gonna reply?

lol this host seems irresponsible.

[Trumpetman4eva]

where the hell did the tourney host go?

[tbellx12]

sorry guys, I was away (MEXICO lol) but im home, the round ended on the 6th at 4 pm, even though I made no official announcement, it was posted on the tourney info page. The results are updated, and thanks for being patient, and NOT dropping out of the tournament. It wasnt very responsible of me to host right before going away, and I apologize. Ma bad, won`t happen again.:D

[XBmaster]

If I'm adding correctly, people have donated 18,200 credits (that's not including ~One~ because he said he would send directly to the winners), but you only have it listed as giving away 6,200 credits.

You should update the first post with how you plan to give away the credits, and because you have enough you could offer prizes to 3rd, 4th, and maybe 5th if you wanted to.

EDIT:

You missed the deadline again, the round should have already started.

[Trumpetman4eva]

k so...next round, anyone?

[Coda375]

you need to announce each new round dude.

round 2 is apparently snowman and sunshine with the tiebreaker being 100 bar blackout.

tourney host, take some initiative and tell US what to do.

[jellygod]

hes off with the credits guys :P

[tbellx12]

ROUND 2 HAS BEGUN! POST YOUR SCREENSHOTS OF STORY OF SNOWMAN AND SUNSHINE GIRL BY 4PM EST. ON WEDNEDAY, THE ELEVENTH OF JULY! GOOD LUCK!:D

[Trumpetman4eva]

ok so is it free for all now?

[XBmaster]

I might try to improve this later

http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/3913/storyscorexy0.jpg

[AOD_ELEMENT]

ill donate 5000 credits

[stevo911]

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u315/elementrider911/soasasg.jpg
hopefully this is enough for me to advance

[AOD_ELEMENT]

i will bet 5000 credits that stevo911 will win anybody wanna take that bet?

cmon noobs send in better scores than stevo911

[XBmaster]

I improved my score a little bit, and you still need to update the first post with the pairings for the new round.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b116/XBmaster/storyscore-2.jpg

[Boatz]

sorry guys, I was away (MEXICO lol)

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: That's a bit crap. I'll be back.

[Dreamt_in_a_Nightmare]

i'm going to have to drop out...my keyboard broke and the one i'm using now is like 10 years old and absolutely can not do doubles. oh well, hopefully i will get a new one soon.

[Trumpetman4eva]

[tbellx12]

(LIAMSHOW)WHAt the HULL!?!

[Trumpetman4eva]

so its stevo and me as final pairing?

[tbellx12]

yes, it will be Trumpetman and stevo for the finals brah. Good job guys....but im gonna have to take a few days break to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as im sure a few of you will be doing also. Thus,the 3 and 4th place and final rounds will commence in a few days...thanks.

[Trumpetman4eva]

lol okay...im out of town until monday anyway.

[Coda375]

If I had known that there was gonna be third and fourth place prizes, i might have tried a bit harder...

on the first post it only says 1st and 2nd.

meh.

[tbellx12]

i think ill have 3rd and 4th place finishes....or should I have mentioned it beforehand??

Guys?

[XBmaster]

Well you got a ton of credits donated to you for this tourney, and you're basically obligated to give all of them away as prizes, so I think 3rd and 4th place are great ideas.

[FrenzyMidget]

I didn't visit the forums in a while until recently and it's unfortunate that I was only able to find this tourney now. I really like the idea of newbie tournaments and I hope you'll be willing to hold more of these. I'd like to donate 1K credits like some of the veterans did even this is almost over. Good luck to the final 4.

[Trumpetman4eva]

so umm...when does the final round start? and are you making the prizes bigger because of the donations?

[teh_masterers]

so joinin :D

[Trumpetman4eva]

so joinin :D

we're already on the final round.

[tbellx12]

Well, alright... I hate to say it, but yes, I have officially finished reading Harry Potter...forever. Thus, the tournament will continue. The last round will begin tomorrow at 4p.m. Eastern Time...you guys know the drill by now...
And to respond to earlier posts, Id love to hold another tournament, that is, if people feel i competant enough to do so...
