We have a life, outside of Beyblade as you very well know. Pyro has issues that prevent him from hosting very often, I am able to host only during breaks and even then I need someone with Paypal, and no one else has been stepping up to the bat.
Please, prove me wrong and host your own monthly tournaments like we used to have and then I'll gladly and humbly rescind these statements. For now, I will tell you off as much as necessary because I have simply had enough of seeing this cheeky attitude in person to let this one slide.
We've had two tournaments within the past month and a half. Define 'dead' for me, will you? Sniper, you're acting as the perfect example of someone who has been spoiled by the wealth of tournaments that other people, mind you, have hosted in your area. I think you should be happy that we're able to even run the number of tournaments that we've had. This tournament was only stopped because we had a god damn blizzard drop a nice 2 feet of snow all over the Northeast! Don't tell me you didn't shovel any snow, because I did and if that didn't prove anything else to me it at least showed that anyone who still tried to run this tournament is insane. Pyro made the right move here, so I don't even want to see a hint of complaint from your until you've gone and hosted a plethora of your own tournaments from scratch, without jumping onboard as a co-host on someone else's ideas and efforts.
so for now stop whining and accept the fact that this area is still active no matter what ridiculous standards you hold NYC by.
But sometimes, they are busy. You see, not everyone can ditch hospitalised family or similar occurences for children's spinning tops.
Kai-V: I support that decision, of course. Sniper, you need to understand that while it is accepted that people learn from their mistakes, the fact that, after all that lead up to it, you still broke that rule like that and didn't understand, it shows a high likelihood that things will be overlooked. If anything, the committee are usually to eager to have tournaments occur, if you had more insight, you'd understand that arguing that they're too strict on it is ridiculous.
Please, lets remember why we all (at least why I joined) the WBO; to be a part of a respectful, loving, family-like community of people with a mutal love for Japanese spinning tops. I hope we can all "bury the hatchet" and keep focused on the bettering of future events/event frequency.
Now anyway, back to the last on-topic post, Rustled Jimmies redirection of discussion to here: http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Manhatta...ers-around
I think that is a good idea - in fact it is generally the standard. Let's just let this topic be, huh?
