Do you not know how to read? I just said to keep looking.
Maybe I should just go to all of your houses, pile you all up in a rental truck, and then drive to the tournament ground since you seem to be so unwilling to do anything for yourselves
where is union square
when is the tournament
why cant you just come here
jesus christ I mean I'm sorry for being abrasive but I'm so sick of this
To be honest I thought the idea of running around NY was a great idea because I can only get like two or three of you people to show up at any given time. Seriously, the most successful tournament had the bare minimum required for it to be a tournament (nine), and four of them were just my friends coming to support me.
I really have no idea why Deikailo decided to make this into another tournament
"Hey let's move around the city and battle people because none of you can be trusted to actually show up to a tournament
actually nevermind that idea, let's just run another tournament that will be unsuccessful for one reason or another"
well sry its just that some of us have things more and important that playing a game in the park
(except for me, my mom wont let me go, hopefully my dad will)
i was gonna go, i was willing but carp happens

Maybe you should consider the time and effort we put into organizing these events. If people aren't interested, just tell us and quit wasting our time.
Whatever your point of view, you'll soon find that there are not a lot of things more important that your integrity. Taking the responsibility of a tournament and then bailing out on the last minute does not create a good impression. It only sets the stage for distrust, no one will take your word seriously anymore. This is true in almost all aspects of life (work etc.)
The fact of the matter is that this cancellation wasn't in good taste, and will hurt her reputation on the boards, more people might not be willing to commit to future events (something that is already a bit of a problem).
EDIT: beaten and in a lot fewer words XD

Stop talking to me like I'm a child.
hola si ay alguien ke sepa español me gustaria ke me dieran informacion sobre en que fecha regresara beyblade a mexico
umm wrong forum
This is the English forum we would appreciate if you typed in English.
Ugh, why can't you guys commit? We have had a successful tournament here having more people show up than we expected (or I expected). We only have like 11-12 bladers here, though. With the number of bladers in your area, it shouldn't be this hard to get you all to show. I feel really sorry for Anubis. :\

Good luck getting them to battle.
I'm finding this racist. Well, New Yorker Isn't a race. I'm finding this too heavaly based on stereo types. Serously people, did you not pass through 5th grade.
Plain English:
Stereo Types Are Not True
I'm insulted. Trust me, I won't bail at the last second, and i will attend any tourney i can. Not all New Yorkers all upbeat like that, but we don't really have any couch potatoes. I ran a freakin' 5k (3.2mi) cross country race with my dad last week at a college. Am i truley lazy? Is new york truely lazy if we had a huge outcome the tunnel to the towers, which i also ran? Serously, thats low.

Perhaps you should know more about the past events that were hosted, most by Anubis. There were serious attendance issues, and while, of course, not everybody dropped out of events all the time, there were enough of those individuals to leave a sour taste.
If you are not like that, super. Why are you taking it so personally then ?

These guys were attacking New Yorkers as a whole. I sorta overreacted and i apolagize. I was just really annoyed that simple attendance issues could spoil the reputation of an entire state. My home state.

They rather meant "New Yorkers that are on this message board" ... And of course we are not racist, so we are aware that there are some exceptions.

I did point out that you guys aren't racist, but locationalist if that is a word. Still, in the end of the day, i was getting a little worked up and fustrated. Once again, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to step on any toes.
Firelord, you should perhaps watch what you say. We're not stereotyping New Yorkers. We're making legitimate observations on the majority of New York members on this site. When an area so full of Bladers cannot manage to get together 9 people for a tournament, that's indicative of a huge problem.
You should seriously think about what's going on before accusing others of discrimination, and telling us that we are acting like fifth graders, when you yourself are only twelve years old ...

I think i already stated that i overreacted. And i never said anything about you guys acting like 5th graders. I was offended and overreacted. How many times must i apologize?

Just saying "OK, I overreacted" doesn't mean you don't have to take responsibility for what you said. And accusing people of being discriminatory because we came to conclusions based on consistent behavior is a very serious thing; you should expect people to be offended by that.

I'm trying to take responsibility. When you freak, you freak. I understand that i must take responsibility for what i said, and "sorry" is really the best i can do right now.l I think that is. I just don't really know any other approach from behind a computer screen.
The behavoir is consistant of certain bladers, might i add. Just saying
Quote: Good luck getting them to battle.
based on:
Quote:You'd be surprised by some of the NY bladers. They just won't battle.
There are also some from other places, too. Come on, you have to think for a second at least that some people could be offended by that.
But i'm still not looking for a fight, so can we please just move on. We both have the right to do exatly what were doing, so we both have the ability to back off.
As a new member here, you don't really know the history of the NY events, so yes, perhaps you should back off of it ...
Exactly what i plan to do.
are you JOKING? LAZY? I am the beyblade sniper of New York. One of THE BEST SNIPERS AROUND. Are you insulting my home state? I am on one of the best beyblading teams on Long Island, and it sounds to me like you're picking a fight. I happen to know firelord personally, and im not gonna argue with some piece of garbage on the childrens toy club website. how bout you come and fight the beyflames personally!? Id break your blade with my tricked out wyborg.
