Hey Guys this is Pruebame, Bazooka's dad. I'd like to make a couple of points if I could.
First and formost, much thanks go out to Poison, Dark, and others who are making this tourney happen. I know how much of a pain the butt it is to drive so far and it's admirable that you do it. Thanks!
Second - It sounds like there are a small amount of people that would come to Richmond area tourneys if they were ongoing. Think about the tourneys you hold in NC Dark. They're so popular because you have the ability to hold many of them and through friends and gamers like yourself, you've been able to keep the community connected. Kudo's to that you've done an exceptional job!
Third - As a father of a son that loves this game, I have made the commitment to him to try and make more tourneys available. I have and am still offering my services to help hold these tourneys and do all the leg work etc. so that they can continue. I would just like some minor help with making it happen. With an ally such as Poison that wants to make it work but may not be able to handle the logistics, I think the two of us could make it work. With all the driving from North Carolina, it isn't reasonable to ask Dark or others to make that trek on a regular basis. It gets expensive and the NC tourney scene I'm sure takes time to keep it going. I would like the ability to PM you guys for advice when needed.
Last- I would have the ability to cover most of Central Virginia for tourneys and that may bring more into the VA community as well. This may or may not have been tried in the past but I would be willing to give it another solid attempt for the next year or more. I guess what I am asking and offering here is this. If it is ok with everyone, take this time to help "train" both myself and Poison on holding the tourniment. That is if it's ok with Poison. Let me stay "in the pocket" as you would with Dark so that I cover all basis. For whatever it's worth, I've run other types of tourniments where 40 plus people attended.
OKOK Finally - I will be having 1 extra Flash Sagitarrio left over unless someone here wants it. I would be willing to "sell" it to the tourniment for a grand prise if needed.
Thanks for hearing me out and let me know how you want to proceed. My services are available should you want them.
YIS,
Prue
