10th Official FFR Tournament

I understand that it seems a bit unorthodox for someone like me to prove just how good I "can" be by playing in the FFR Official Tournament casually. Trust me I know how that sounds and looks. However, for me, this is my 7th Official Tournament that I'm entered in. The last 6 I've tried my very hardest to make it as far as I can go, and (I believe) the furthest I've ever made it was the 4th round in D6. I've spent just about 11 years on this website meeting people, and playing the game religiously. I've done everything from starting a team (FKO) with MetalAtlas, to hosting very successful tournaments, to playing in Officials, stepping, getting involved in the community (hence 5k posts), etc. I've spent so much time in my personal life here, that being competitive for 11 years is just draining man.

I've experienced everything good to bad on this site. I've been trolled, my kids made fun of, my wife made fun of, to being praised for good things as well. One thing I've realized is that no matter how much time I put in here, nothing means anything if I'm not having fun, at the very least. Everyone knew me as the *** (Asterisk Poster) because I always posted raged induced comments on the forums. But, recently, ever since I've returned to FFR, I came back with a new mindset in just being casual, and try to the very best of my ability, to have fun. That's what I'm doing.

So in regards to the Official, I'm trying something new. I'm not whoring the hell out of my songs and getting frustrated beyond belief because it's never really helped me in the past, as shown. But, now, I'm already halfway to where my absolute best is, and I'm having fun doing it. If I can get passed Round 4, or even up to Round 4 with this mindset, I will have accomplished everything, in my view.

You may not understand, and you may not want to understand, but I am somewhat still being competitive in the fashion that I even entered the Tournament. I'm just playing with a different mindset that is somewhat unorthodox as mentioned previously.

Hope this post clears your question up for you OPkiller.

td;lr - I am being competitive, but not in the sense that it's all I'm thinking about. I'm having a blast with this tournament. Truly am, and that is all I care about.
