Thanks Jonathan for the pieces! Looks like a nice set.

I WANT PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm assuming that if we sign up and then can't make it, that our spot just gets handed down to the next qualifying person. So is there anything we have to lose by signing up even if we're not sure we can make it?

I'm really not a fan of that. "Don't like you're place in the bracket? Take another!" Don't think that most people would take advantage of that, but I don't like the possibility of it.

I dunno how much harder this would be, but another option would be to add a command (serverside) such as start_recording that's used in place of start_new_match by team leaders, and then the servers themselves would know when to start collecting data (or what specifically to send to gridstats, howev...

There is a great tutorial for fortress starters: http://www.creotronic.net/armagetron/the-fortress-guide-pdf-version-458.html Sure, if they want to spend an hour reading before they can play. It should really only take a minute or two to get a new player up to speed though to get them good enough s...

Totally. It seems that in general though that the community reacts negatively towards new players, and I would imagine that a lot of people follow that because it's the status quo. I think individual efforts can hopefully have a big impact though.

Well if he can't, then maybe we, as experienced players, should. Just a thought.

Yeah R came into town right after NE disbanded. Just some good 'ol Titanoboa hopping, though surprisingly non-clan related. Thanks everybody for your kind words, and thanks for the good matches. R kind of had some mixed luck waiting this ladle, as we ended up probably watching the two longest matche...

heh. Iono that SP.Na team was pretty darn good. Insa, mkay, teen, syre, mr, Eckz...psh, that should be their regular team every time they play in the US

So you're mad because the system caught you and not someone else? That doesn't mean Ritsuka isn't guitly, it just means that nobody noticed, but I'd say the time to deal with that has passed. And seriously, you're showing a lot of disrespect for a system that many people (one of them being Sine) hav...

I wasn't there for the finals and we had Tobe + Matoso at center.

And luffy was an attacker ^^

Well players could just remove themselves from the challenge board, and then sub for the team they want to play for.

No, but once the ladle starts, and before the semi-finals start, you may use as many subs as you'd like who haven't played for another team and without your opponent's consent. After the start of the semis you need your opponent's consent. So basically the limit of only 2 additions really does nothi...

I have to say, that does does sound really cool sine. I don't know anything about the technology behind it, but is there anything you could tell us about it musically, such as the pitches?
