I'll help with donations and crap. If you need someone to help you Update and that such I'll keep hold of that to. I'd really love another one so i can redeem myself from last time.

I dunno...as awesome as it is to see spread players try out one handed sexiness, there aren't enough players in the intermediate and advanced divisions. Sure, we have only a few pro one handers on the whole site and tons of beginners, I want to see more people of an intermediate level, something I can't seem to find. If you or anybody else knows a bunch of people at these levels, I'll consider making another tourney (however, I was waiting for Zaggy to start his).

P.S I have just over 139,000 credits, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Actually, I think this thread is doing very well, and better than most. I see some newer players really shooting for av rank under 5000 and I see more siggies with 'one-handed and proud' or 'staying one-handed.' I think people are more interested right now, proportionately, in playing one-handed than in playing FFR in general.

Well here's the thing: the very beginning of your one handed career is the most sensitive - the majority of one handers switch at this point in time. However, I'd also like to point out that a bunch of people who have found this thread gain the motivation to stay, which leads me to my next point...

Maybe we should have a list of aspiring one-handers here, so it can be more expansive. Just because you're not awesome yet doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to join the social club of serious one-handers. Alternatively we could start a one-handers club thread, but I think it makes more sense to keep it here, as the community is already partially formed. Of course, this may be burdensome for Bynary, but at least it wouldn't need to be updated with av ranks.

...On one hand I don't see much point in this - hundreds of new one handers join every day, and almost all of them either either leave or switch. But on the other hand, this can provide great motivation to those who are dedicated to saying and have made their introduction, etc. Interesting idea.

That reminds me: Card Man and me have Ventrilo, where you can hold private chat sessions with your friends and chat via microphones. Far superior to FFR Chat IMO, and there won't be any noobs to spam it up or tell us to switch out of jealousy.

Perhaps that would be a more viable option?

Of course I have three other goals that are a bit more pressing right now, but I wanted to see if other people were plugging away at this.

I know I've hit T2 a long time ago - I haven't calculated my TPs in some time, but I'm pretty sure it's the high 200s, nearing 300 even. If I see others working on it, I would certainly start to do so myself.
