TubaHero Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 (edited) When you're 2-28-1 lifetime online (.080 winning percentage!) you start to forget what winning against a real human being feels like. And when even the C/D division of a league is hanging you out to dry nightly (1-21-1 avec les Nords) you start to wonder "how the hell will i ever pick up some wins?" Now, this is just my story, however I'm sure there are similar ones out there. My solution? A noob tourney! Dubbed after Myles O'Connor, the worst rated player in the game, this tourney will showcase the not-so-best and brightest of the bunch. It'll be a GENS tourney (if you suck and play SNES, you have rightfully earned my full condolences) with the original rom, format depending on how many players join (most likely a single-elimination bracket). To join you must either 1) be an "experienced" player who has noticed a lack of skills or 2) be a relatively new member of the community who hasn't found their footing. I WILL background check, and any player with past triumphs will be banished. Post the team you want here, along with AIM.

TubaHero Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 It'll be a GENS tourney (if you suck and play SNES, you have rightfully earned my full condolences) considering the first two entrants are snes-ers, that's probably gonna change...

TubaHero Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) I get the Penguins. AIM ICeguy94.TubaHero, you should check in with the newbs coming to the boards. yeah, i've sent a few out to some of 'em...but i think i'm just gonna do one huge-ass on now to a crudload of new guys. plus, i'll be on full ninja stalker mode tonight, so if any new kids join the forums, they'll be pm'd before they even know what hit 'em. Also, forget what i said last post...no way we're doing a tourney with only 9 people...that doesn't even make a respectable grade 3 clique, let alone a tourney.

The Four Seven Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) Hey, I just joined last night(well, if you want to get technical, early this morning) after reading about all of the great hacks for '94 and the others, I come back today and see an invitation to play, so why not? I have GENS, so put me in for a spot in there. I haven't played online with it but I'm sure it won't be much of a problem for me to figure out. I call dibs on Hartford.

wildflyer Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I'd love to be on board, but I would need to know how the scheduling works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Four Seven Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Yeah, same here. Other than tomorrow where I'll be away from home all day, I'm basically up for playing any time during the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Thanks for the invite. Let my self-immolation begin. I am in for a GENS spot. Dallas please. Anytime during after 6:pm Pacific time is good with me. Sunday night works. Weeknights work next week except for Weds. and Thurs. Next weekend is wide open day and night. BTW, is it lines on or off? Offsides on I presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubaHero Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) I'd love to be on board, but I would need to know how the scheduling works. no real schedules...i'll just put up a bracket (seedings will be random) and you and your opponent work out when you play...though it's always best to post availability so people know when to expect you. BTW, is it lines on or off? Offsides on I presume? i figured we'd go with the classic league rules...5 minute periods, line changes off, penalties on with no offsides. also, Junior, quoi est ton AIM?

the internet Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'll join with San Jose. Not sure if I'll use GENS or SNES because I don't have either on this computer, nor do I have any experience with them online. aim: rien n est foutu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IQ25 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 My solution? A noob tourney! Good idea. Since my Super NES online experience is at zero i`ll join this.

IQ25 Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 from that i assume you're choosing to snes it up... Yes.

TubaHero Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 This might take a while to fill . . . lol...and the fact that our snes competitors are made up of 2 gens crossovers, 2 guys in both tourneys and a guy who hasn't been logged onto the forum or aim since he signed up isn't exactly promising...but i guess we should all just take journey's advice...
