riddleinthdark Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Hey everyone, You might be asking yourself, why is Flo hugging the Statue of Liberty? He's holding on to her for good reason, Flo was a particpant of last year's New York Tournament. He traveled many miles (all the way from Chicago) wearing a football jersey and a book bag with just one thought on his mind Tecmo. While beating players in practice and the tournament, Flo conveniently coined the phrase "That's how we do things here in Chicago". If you are coming to play in New York, you better bring a little swagger on your first trip. Was he dedicated, determined or quite simply insane? Probably all of the above. With this in mind, I thinnk it would be a great time to start organizing a future tournament here in New York. We could rent out a gaming lounge for a few hours and host our competition there. A gaming spot in Queens might be a more suitable idea considering how expensive some venues are in the city. Once we have an accurate count on whose down, we could work out hosting details and also something fun to do afterwards (like hit a bar or place to eat). Bad Moon Rison hosted a succesful tournament last year at his home in the Bronx. With the number of members who frequently check the board and those who particpate in online games, we should be able to follow up with another exciting event. Please post when would be a good time to be involved with a tournament. I know the holidays will be here before you know it, so January or later is looking like a good time to schedule a date. --Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihoagied Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 the only thing missing from the last tourney was booze. that needs to be fixed this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I had booze. I still had beer and liquor left over at the end, so there definitely was booze.Anyway, this is a great idea. It was fun last time and would be fun to do again. Sometime early next year (Jan/Feb) sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaTheGaiden Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 hey I'm thinking of coming here. My record is 41-5 right now. I played against one guy who says he had a 343-1 record on knowbeit.com?? I don't know if he was talking about this site. Anyone knows who I'm talking about?? Refused to give his particulars, only that he'd got a 343-1 rec. Anyway I got him 13-10 via left-shotgun Long X run. But I'm thinking of taking it to the next level. Anyone wanna play I'm up for it. Might even show up at the tourney! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edisaurusrex Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'll be up for it if I can drag Sconnie off of TPC for a weekend or can form a MN-WI posse to head out east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddleinthdark Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 Alright Ninja, if your interested in attending that's fine by me but enough of the joking around. Zack, will the rest of the Jersey Crew be interested in another competition? Here's an update: I spoke with Edisaurusrex, he's from Minnesota and has also shown interest in making a weekend trip. He's wants to get in contact with Soby and Sconniele. Flo is uncertain at the moment, all depends on airfare costs. Bad Moon Rison suggested we try scheduling the tournament for Saturday, January 27th. It's the weekend right before the Super Bowl. Since there will be no NFL games scheduled, everyone will be pumped for some football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there will be no NFL games scheduled, everyone will be pumped for some football. That would also allow me to talk trash about the Bears being in the Superbowl.

riddleinthdark Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 If you do return to NY, I'm pretty sure everyone wants to get one of your tecmo shirts. His designs are badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artoose monk Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'd be in for the next tourney. I was disappointed when the last one came and the rain fell like the great flood. that's the only reason I didn't show up. I will most likely be at the next one, barring any major occurences.

MysterMask Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Hi, I was talking to Samurai Psycho last night on AiM. Cool fellow anyways, he schooled me up on this & I'd love to see this happen too. There's alotta places that'll rent some space in Queens, prolly around the Blvd. It'll be cool to see sumthin like this, since TsB kicks so much ass and all.

BO FB Offtackle Left Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm down. If Bad Moon or someone else can't host, here are a few suggestions.If you want to go cheap and easy-going in Queens, a Knights of Columbus would probably work well, but that means people will have to make their own overnight arrangements. I think most of them have at least one TV screen, and I could probably bring a TV if needed. I could also probably serve as car service to get people from the airport to the place (I'm not picking people up in Manhattan if the thing is in Queens or LI), but that's more iffy. I actually have some slight connection to the one near my house in Bayside, and I could easily find out the cost and other details. The other NY people should let me know if they want to pursue this option.If you want something more comfortable, I've been to a couple of non-Tecmo events at Courtyard Marriotts and they seemed to go very smoothly. I don't know what conference rooms at these places cost, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMigs Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Somewhere on Queens Blvd would be relatively easy to get to, which would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please arrive at the venue no later than 2:30, so we can setup the tournament brackets and game equipment.

ihoagied Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I'm not sure if I can go. I'm planning a trip to Pennsylvania around then and plus I work Saturdays. I'll keep you guys updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsoby1 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i dont think ill go unless there is a cash prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The place was pretty damn nice. It was spacious yet comfortable at the same time. We'd pretty much have the entire back area to ourselves. The guy who ran the place was cool with us and we had a discussion about the logistics of the tourney. It seems like it will run smoothly there. As mentioned, we definitely need consoles, cartridges, and RSVPs!Getting this venue has actually got me excited about this tourney! (moreso)I hope you can make it zach. My money was on you for the second tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artoose monk Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have one console and one copy of the game. all the others i had were sold, but if needed i could find more. you can count me in as of now, but i dont see any reason why i cant make it.

riddleinthdark Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 i dont think ill go unless there is a cash prize.We are still considering a 'prize' for this event. If a majority calls for a cash prize than we will take that into consideration.This venue is a great place and I'm excited that we were able to rent it at such a resonable price. I really hope members on the board and players jump on this event caus I know this tourney will kick ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsoby1 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well, I'm looking at it from this point of view... if I'm paying 60 bucks for a plane ticket and 10 for entry, I want to at least be able to recoup my losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BO FB Offtackle Left Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I will definitely come... provided I don't forget I have a console, game, and 2 controllers, but the less I have to bring the better. Let me know what you definitely need as the date gets closer. Also, are those the actual teams we're going to use, or was that just for graphical purposes?
