Multilply that by 30 players - you get to referee pregame negotiations for all of them, plus feel the joy when half of them pull out of the tourney half way through. You can't pay for fun like that, Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Mike, Actually, those very experiences have proven educational for me. I would run a tourney like an a$$hole and take no $hit from anybody. If that doesn't get them wanting to join, nothing will! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gredeker Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Attaboy, Chad. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. I'd be very much interested in a west coast tournament (it would certainly facilitate TCP/IP play) but I wouldn't be available until sometime after the new year starts due to a previous [mumble] commitment. Let's go, Su-perTed, let's go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff<hr></blockquote> My dear Mr. Harrison. Please take no notice our Geoffrey, as the lad is quite disturbed. We try, and we try, but he will behave so willfully. He is a burden to us of the Peng Challenge Thread, but there, what are we to do? Whatever you do, do not accept an invitation to play him. Although an able player, he is ungentelmanly, and we do not wish his behaviour condoned. Good luck and best wishes on your search for a tournament for 'the rest of us'. Oh, and SuperTed. Your proposed approach to running a tournament is noted with approval. I was appalled to hear of all the maneuvering, whinging, and posturing involved with the 'Invitational'. I'd rather play a fair and challenging game than attempt to make sure the conditions gave me the best opportunity to win, and I'd rather put in a good solid effort and lose, rather than scream like an affronted eunuch because everything wasn't to my satisfaction. This is why, in the Peng Challenge Thread, there is so little emphasis placed on 'winning', and so much more placed on 'playing, and putting the boot in'. The most vile display of taunting in the Peng Challenge Thread simply doesn't hold a candle to 'tournament whores' niggling over every little detail of their obsessive need to 'win'.

Fortunately, by removing force purchasing from tournaments through the use of designed scenarios that problem is negligible now. It should also be noted that the remaining Invitational players are getting along nicely. I'll run a tournament for Chad Harrison this spring. You're already in, Chad! I'd start one now but I'm up to my ears in tournaments for the next couple months. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO, before that we could have a CMBO tourney hosted by the SUPERted. what do you say ted? you could go down in CMhistory as one of the last pre CMBB tourney ring leaders? oh yeah, and dont forget the cinnamon roles. chad 'harrison' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
