[21:50:31] [@BADDEST_MAN] yo
[21:50:33] [bigli] whats that website that lets you watch multiple streams with picture-in-picture
[21:50:38] [bigli] ive forgotten its name so many times
[21:50:45] [@Rudi] yooo
[21:50:54] [@Infy] Hey BADDEST_MAN.
[21:50:56] [@Rudi] how did the birmingham guys do in MBA?
[21:50:58] [@Infy] How did you do.
[21:51:07] [bigli] Birmingham missed the boat
[21:51:10] [@BADDEST_MAN] Rudi they showed up too late to be entered
[21:51:15] [HaoTwo] how late was it?
[21:51:17] [@Rudi] wtf?
[21:51:22] [HaoTwo] had a feeling that was gonna happen lol
[21:51:28] [bigli] car broke down or something
[21:51:49] [@Infy] Casuals are what counts anyway.
[21:52:03] [@Rudi] did they get in contact to tell you what's happening or???
[21:52:31] [@BADDEST_MAN] yeah Rudi they did but they were 45 mins late
[21:52:39] [@BADDEST_MAN] cant hold things up for them
[21:52:44] [@BADDEST_MAN] they said they'd be 5 mins late
[21:52:46] [@BADDEST_MAN] not 45
[21:52:54] [@BADDEST_MAN] in the end we had space in a group for one of them
[21:52:58] [@BADDEST_MAN] so we put gin in
[21:53:04] [@BADDEST_MAN] he didnt get out of groups
[21:53:22] [Wassow] two guys got streem time after groups though
[21:53:34] [@Rudi] what does it mean that he didn't make it out of groups?
[21:53:45] [bigli] he didnt come 1st or 2nd in groups
[21:53:52] [bigli] thus didnt reach the brackets stage
[21:53:56] [@Rudi] Umm
[21:55:10] [@Rudi] I dunno the story
[21:55:14] [@Rudi] i'll wait and see what they say first
[21:55:44] [HaoTwo] was it groups of 5?
[21:55:47] [@BADDEST_MAN] yeah
[21:55:51] [@BADDEST_MAN] top 2 advance
[21:55:51] [@Rudi] oh wait
[21:55:54] [@BADDEST_MAN] gin was not in that top 2
[21:56:00] [@BADDEST_MAN] so he didnt make it to the elim stages
[21:56:06] [@Rudi] didn't you guys do signups in advance?
[21:56:09] [HaoTwo] ohh ok
[21:56:12] [@BADDEST_MAN] yeah
[21:56:18] [@Rudi] so they were just dq'd when they got there or?
[21:56:28] [@BADDEST_MAN] we were already well underway when they arrived
[21:56:42] [@BADDEST_MAN] with 8 groups and a 16 man bracket waiting for them
[21:56:50] [@BADDEST_MAN] well, one group had 4 people and not 5
[21:56:53] [@BADDEST_MAN] so we put gin in that group
[22:09:49] [@Rudi] BADDEST_MAN
[22:09:55] [@BADDEST_MAN] yo
[22:09:57] [@Rudi] gin was in kaworu's group right?
[22:10:08] [@BADDEST_MAN] im not sure ying sorted it out
[22:10:12] [@BADDEST_MAN] i think so though
[22:10:14] [Wassow] and my group
[22:10:19] [@Rudi] i see
[22:10:25] [@Rudi] looking at this archive right now
[22:10:33] [@Rudi] 5 minutes before kaworu's group started, it said
[22:10:37] [@Rudi] "tournament will be starting shortly"
[22:10:42] [@Rudi] so if the guys got in time for that
[22:10:52] [@Rudi] doesn't that mean the tournament started at 12:40?
[22:11:12] [@Infy] Well someone did ask today "Why do you only want to play the old one?" (referring to KoF2k2UM) so we explained that it was MBAA. Then afterwards, "Has anyone destroyed someone yet?" and we were like, "What?".
[22:11:38] [@Infy] "That's Guilty Gear you're thinking of."
[22:11:38] [@Infy] "Oh."
[22:11:38] [@BADDEST_MAN] yes rudi but we have to do brackets electronically
[22:11:52] [@BADDEST_MAN] and once we generate a bracket
[22:11:54] [@BADDEST_MAN] or rather groups
[22:12:11] [@BADDEST_MAN] its set
[22:12:20] [@Infy] Rudi: Basically, not everyone in Birmingham is named Ryan Hart.
[22:12:21] [@Infy] Innit.
[22:12:25] [@Infy] Prejudice.
[22:12:30] [@Infy] Favouritism.
[22:12:30] [@Rudi] nah nah, wait wait
[22:12:33] [@BADDEST_MAN] we added gin on because it was a group of 4 and people in the group didnt mind
[22:12:42] [@Rudi] hold up
[22:12:47] [@Infy] Hold the phone.
[22:12:49] [@Rudi] tournament was meant to be starting at 12
[22:12:59] [@Rudi] they phoned you guys up while they were in manchester
[22:13:00] [@BADDEST_MAN] no, signups were closing at 12
[22:13:13] [@Infy] Why didn't they just delay it for 2 hours.
[22:13:19] [@BADDEST_MAN] they phoned scott just before 12 and said "we'll be there at 5 past"
[22:13:21] [@BADDEST_MAN] which was fine
[22:13:24] [@Rudi] so what's the point of having those facebook signups?
[22:13:34] [@Rudi] if you take signups on the day?
[22:13:42] [@BADDEST_MAN] because shit aint free rudi
[22:13:43] [bigli] Estimates, for one thing
[22:13:57] [@BADDEST_MAN] people get entered when they give me the money
[22:13:59] [@BADDEST_MAN] and not before
[22:14:05] [@BADDEST_MAN] this aint no dragon tournament
[22:14:07] [tim85] when they turned up we were like 3 games in
[22:14:17] [tim85] in our group
[22:14:21] [bigli] my group was done by then, haha
[22:14:41] [@BADDEST_MAN] i wasnt the one who entered gin, it was ying
[22:14:56] [@BADDEST_MAN] bottom line is signups closed at 12, brum was 45 mins late
[22:15:08] [Frostbolt] [22:13:26] <@Rudi> so what's the point of having those facebook signups?
[22:15:08] [Frostbolt] [22:13:35] <@Rudi> if you take signups on the day? <--- estimates
[22:15:31] [Frostbolt] it would be horrible if you took facebook signups, used those to create groups and took money on the day
[22:15:38] [Frostbolt] cause people can just "not come" and they aint lost shit
[22:15:41] [@BADDEST_MAN] aka. what the dragons are doing
[22:15:41] [Frostbolt] cause they didnt pay yet
[22:15:50] [bigli] dont forget that gamerbase basically todl everyone who wanted to play console games to fuck off, just for us
[22:15:50] [Frostbolt] aka what the dragons are doing
[22:15:56] [Frostbolt] except that its worse
[22:16:06] [Frostbolt] because the dragons are also displaying brackets before the event
[22:16:11] [Frostbolt] so anybody, say me for example
[22:16:17] [Frostbolt] can just decide to save myself money
[22:16:24] [Frostbolt] by not entering the tournament if my group looks shit
[22:16:29] [tim85] hah yeah
[22:16:38] [@Infy] Who turns up 45 minutes late and still expects to enter?
[22:16:44] [@Infy] (Don't give me names please I already know)
[22:16:47] [bigli] haha
[22:16:52] [bigli] turn up two hours early. like a boss

[22:22:30] [Jinty] I'm angry
[22:22:39] [bigli] don't be
[22:22:40] [bigli] i'm not
[22:22:43] [bigli] all is right
[22:23:20] [Yingah] Sucks about Brum =( but yeh what Ollie said, they were just too late for us to accommodate
[22:23:31] [bigli] I woulda watched the stream
[22:23:33] [Yingah] (apart from Gin - RACISSMM) lol
[22:28:14] [Jinty] especially if they travelling from out of town
[22:29:18] [@BADDEST_MAN] jinty we can't risk overrunning
[22:29:33] [@BADDEST_MAN] someone phoned scott and said you'd be there at 5 past 12
[22:29:43] [@BADDEST_MAN] by half past no one had shown up
[22:29:51] [@BADDEST_MAN] with no further word
[22:29:59] [Jinty] then we phoned scott later at 1230 and said we were coming and he said yea just hurry a
[22:30:04] [Jinty] hadnt started yet
[22:30:12] [@BADDEST_MAN] thats about when we started
[22:30:14] [Frostbolt] <Jinty> we have accomadated for people when they've been late <--- id just like to say that your not meant to accomodate for people who are late
[22:30:39] [Jinty] if they come from out of town you should though
[22:30:43] [@BADDEST_MAN] by the time you arrived groups were well underway, some had finished
[22:30:44] [Frostbolt] no you shouldnt
[22:31:01] [Frostbolt] why should there be bias for people from out of town
[22:31:03] [Jinty] you shouldnt but people do
[22:31:12] [Frostbolt] and whos people
[22:31:13] [Frostbolt] you guys?
[22:31:16] [Jinty] because they made the effort to support the scene
[22:31:32] [bigli] to be fair on us dude, we didnt even know if we we're gonna be able to finish this tournament on time even if shit flowed perfectly
[22:31:36] [bigli] were*
[22:31:59] [Jinty] it finished at 4
[22:32:09] [bigli] it did
[22:32:11] [@BADDEST_MAN] this is the second time we've done a tournament though
[22:32:12] [bigli] and we know for next time
[22:32:12] [Frostbolt] if people accomodated for people being late because they support the scene, then youd have people being 2 hours late and getting away with it because the one player supports the scene
[22:32:17] [Yingah] power of hindsight
[22:32:24] [bigli] last time we had several extra hours of opening time as leeway
[22:32:38] [HaoTwo] is that a SvB reference Frostbolt lol
[22:32:47] [Jinty] no you wouldnt frostbolt
[22:32:53] [Yingah] signups for 11am close at 12pm so thats an hour
[22:32:55] [Frostbolt] what is right > what people do
[22:33:01] [Jinty] people travelling from far wont purposely be late
[22:33:08] [Yingah] at around 12:30 ish it was too late for you guys
[22:33:12] [Jinty] if we lived in manchester then fait enough
[22:33:12] [Yingah] to me thats plenty of time
[22:33:15] [Frostbolt] it said signups closed at 12. you wernt there for 12, so like O K
[22:33:15] [@BADDEST_MAN] no one is saying you were purposely late
[22:33:18] [Jinty] fair*
[22:33:23] [Jinty] anyways i gtg

[22:34:10] [Yingah] cough, Ryan Hart
[22:34:11] [Yingah] =p
[22:34:12] [bigli] im in the mentality that if im late, tough shit. Going London on sunday and i expect no preferential treatment
[22:34:31] [Yingah] if it was a random group of 5 people we would have done the same
[22:34:50] [@BADDEST_MAN] we're never late for birmingham stuff
[22:34:51] [Yingah] surely cant change the fact 'coz theyre from birmingham
[22:34:59] [@BADDEST_MAN] theyre late for our stuff all the time
[22:35:02] [Yingah] and I said to them sorry, I feel bad too
[22:35:08] [@BADDEST_MAN] justin showing up during grand finals to an RB
