So you know, Ramirez took all the people that wanted to play and sorted them by rank so that each team had an equal amount of ranks. Then he randomly put them together so that it would be fair.
I got no team. :(

Has anyone not heard from a particular person on their team? Let me know and I'll get the replacement system going. :lol I imagine the first round should be done by the end of the weekend, really shouldn't be hard to log on for an hour and knock 3 games out on Sat/Sun. :)

I saw some of his posts.

We're all mostly in our 40's (some 50's) anyhow. I figure we're all around the same ability (I hope). :)

Your overconfidence will be your downfall.

Not really.

Yeah, I can't get on till friday night or saturday. My wife dominates the living room Monday-thursday. An acceptable tradeoff, because I'm not home usually till 8 and I dominate Friday-Sunday all hours lol.

Each team captain could probably talk to one another after the match and decide that stuff. Or, right after the three matches both teams could just decide it in the post game lobby together.

Oh and by the way...

Bah!

I am getting my Xbox 360 back Friday. I would love to be in this. I'm sure I could get some friends off my Friends List and join in the next tournament. :D

I just came in to say that since TDG is MIA (for now), I think he should be removed from our team and Striker should replace him.

But if TDG shows up before the tourney starts, then scratch that.

TEAM 2 AND TEAM 3:

How does this Friday night sound for our match at around 9pm EST? Hit me back and let me know.

Alright, haven't heard from TDG in years, he's out for this one, Fin is in, and on Domino's team. Please add them to your FL. Also, I'm free tomorrow and Saturday, so if we could get the matchups going that'd be great. :p
 

TDG

Banned
WTF! I had no idea this tourney had started (I never check the online forum, and I've been posting in OT and not checking the Halo 3 thread).

You people need to be more community-centric.

EDIT: Er, I've been replaced. This is awkward. Well, I'm still able to play if the opportunity arises.

Sounds good guys. I'll add all of you after work.

Does GAF have a friends of friends clan? Let me know.

I'm free everyday after work this week, let me know when team 5 is up to bat!

I'm down, but that's a common occurrence when I play :(

I spent hours putting this banner together, and I'm certain my teammates will rally behind it:

Haha I like it Yeti.

I still need to hear from my team and the rest of team 3. Lemme know if this Friday at 9pm EST is good for everyone.
 

Metroidvania

People called Romanes they go the house?
So that'd be....what, 7 central?

that might be a little tricky, I'll respond again ASAP.

Ramirez, does whoever play last get the bye for the second round of winner's bracket, or has that not been predetermined yet?

I'm trying to get the bracket set up....and I miss having Microsoft Paint. Paint the accessory=crap, so I'm running it through powerpoint. Yay.

Trasher, that Friday night should work for me. Do we want to get together earlier and maybe spar against some other Gaffers to see how we meld?
 

Ramirez

Member
Haha, I totally forgot it was already Thursday when I made that post. But yea I can play Friday at 9 EST when I get off work, let me send out PMs to everyone in our game and see if that is doable.
 
Just throwing this out there, but how does Sunday sound for teams 4 and 6? I can play anytime on Sunday, not having work or anything. Or maybe in the early afternoon on Saturday or something?

Just thinking out loud.

Bubububut... I'm here.

Oh well. Ram has laid down the hammer. If team 5 (or any team) needs a sub, I'd love to step in, I'm certainly free on Friday nights.

Just let me know.

I'm sorry, just didn't know what the deal was, there will be more down the line. =\

The team 1/5 game is looking to be played Friday night, I have 3-4 confirmations that they can do it then. Hopefully the other guys can as well, I sent out PMs to them.

All of Friday night is okay with me.

If we all want to hop on and play a few tomorrow night before, I have no problem with that. I'll most likely be on anyways.

Metroid: Well, I'm pretty sure we could push it back an hour or so if necessary. We should all post our timezones or something, might make this easier. :lol
 
Hey guys sorry i should have posted in this thread but I will be driving all the way across the great tundra that is North Dakota once I am done with classes. My last one ends at 4 central so i won't be getting home until prob like 10 or 11 central which is like 11 or 12 EST so it would prob work out best for me if we could play sometime Saturday or Sunday I am free all day. Also i haven't heard or seen a check in From Whispy.

Edit: And if Any of my other teammates who have checked in and would like to get some games in tonight that would rock. I am just finishing up some work at the Library and will be home shortly logging on.

I wouldn't mind playing at midnight if it's alright with everyone else. And if we can't play Friday I won't be able to play until Sunday night.

Keep an eye on this thread. Ram will post on here when we are ready for the next one.

Trasher said:
