Title: Tournament 2 (?): Mike vs. Dan (Not Started, Interest Gathering ATM)
Post by: Thorn on October 11, 2007, 01:09:36 pm
Just read the red lines.

<Da1> ...I'm confused, I thought everyone was Rolken? :S
<oRPG> No everyone is cybrax
<oRPG> Who is rolken
<Thorn> k, in accordance with your fake chat, I demand that Rolken run a mike vs. dan tourney
<oRPG> Who is married to flyby who is really cybrax
<mike89> X)
<oRPG> who is really rolken meaning he is married to himself
<Da1> o_O
<MaxFirestorm> XD
<Da1> O_o
<Thorn> meaning he's doing things to himself *throws up*
<mike89> actually thorn that'd be pretty epic
<Da1> O_O
<oRPG> HAHA @ line ordering

...you guys read every line, didn't you? Ah well, at least it's at mike's expense and not mine. Anyway, let's face it. Several of us received the name of Mike or Dan at birth, and not until coming here did we realize that it is the indication of a special power dwelling deep within one's body, given either from God or through magic, allowing for a mastery of the Sonic way. Or something.

Anyway, since mike wrote a TSC fic about a Mike vs. Dan tourney (and since I was still new when he wrote it, so I was elimiated early and want to redeem myself), I suggest that we make it happen, and it seems like mike89's on board with this as well. I mean, it'd involve half of the site. :P Why we're posting so early is because we need two things:
- Interest from people named Mike and Dan
- A judge (or judges) not named Mike or Dan

I've heard many people casually mentioning in chat that they'd want to try running a tourney, or that they don't like how mike89 and I are running ours. If you think you can step up and design a tourney from scratch -- please don't wing it as you go >_> -- consider hosting this one so you don't need to ask for participants, as they should be expressing interest below if they want in. That being said, we do still wanna keep some general rules down before you start designing alone or with a group:
- This isn't "Mike vs. Dan Sonic 1/2/3&K Tourney" or "Mike vs. Dan Handheld Tourney". Cover as much as possible; there's Genesis, Sega CD, 32X, and GameGear official games, as well as some awesome fan games and hacks. If it's Sonic, easily accessible to all, and recordable without making massive files, it should be okay.
- Make it last. We need several rounds, so keep variation on the challenges and plan weeks in advance. Consider team relays as a way to really test the skill accompanying each name. Try to avoid eliminations, as we want this to be a competiton between names rather than finding the best of each name.

So far, these people want to play:

-----Mikes----------Dans-----
mike89RPG
ThornSpinny

Okay, expressions of interest/disinterest and generic comments plz.

Team Dan needs more pwnage. I nominate myself.

And Taco, if he ever shows up again. :/

And MK. He'll probably show up.

Actually, I am pro this. Maybe SJ or Upthorn could run it and they could tell us to play obscure games like Aero the Acrobat, or Dark Castle, or Sonic 2-- yeah, you get the picture.

Hey, some of us "non-mike-or-dan"s have godly Sonic skills...

Wish I could say more, but I'm not a mike or dan.

Ya know who would be the true Sonic God then? Some guy named Micheal Daniels :O ya, he would own i guess... maybe his middle name should be James for good luck.

Also, I like the whole random and obscure game idea, but I have no say in this anyway >_>

this looks like something fun I'd enjoy doing but I'm too lazy, don't have enough commitment, and don't know sonic games very well. Plus my tournament would be no fun. But I'll entertain the idea.

1337 Sonic skills?  Name must be Mike or Dan?  Too bad I only meet one of the requirements. :(

If we're going by 'almost named', I was almost named Michael.

Anyways, the tourney should be changed in light of recent developments.

<RPG> Also we should just play right now
<Offline> Do you have cookies? (go away Achlys you're interfering with my amusing quote)
<RPG> Spinny and MK can get off my team
<RPG> Theyll just make me look bad
<Spinballwizard> what
<Spinballwizard> Fuck you.
<RPG> And Ill take all three of you on >:O

Tournament 2-RPG vs. the world.

And yeah I'm dead serious.

...k, since the other tournaments are finally over... is RPG vs. the World happening or not? I know RPG lost interest in the tournaments, so I'm not sure, btu the World still seems ready to go. And if he won't do that, we can always still take the two Mikes vs. two Dans that we have atm and compete at mindless tasks suggested by TSCers, or something.
