Going offline if no one is here in the next few minitues.

I might jump over, we hoped for a showndown race with mavrick, but I guess he's not coming.

WHATS THE PRIZE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GOT 1ST IN WEEK 1 COME ON TELL ME

mr. GamerGreg so whats up man trying to read through all the pages of arguing but im not seeing mine and dark b's tie breaker?


Let me know man and can we start up a new clean thread for week two these 30 something pgs are hard to wade threw.

What did I say last time? Chill. For one, they never promised anywhere that we would for sure get a prize for 1st in round one. It was a maybe on their end; odds are we will get something but they're probably still finalizing the details of the "what" that it is we'll be getting. Don't expect to find out probably until around the time of the next round, or when the tournament is wrapping up. The most logical thing to do would be to wait til it wraps up so they can get everyone's mailing addresses at that point; if you qualified for multiple prizes by the end, they'll save on shipping by bundling items together.

Sent you a PM. You should only have to click the last few pages, but I'll see what the Mods want to do about that.

Not counting the 3 Grand Prizes (Wii U, NSMB U, Sonic Racing), I counted about 25 prizes.

Here's what we got:

- CM4 Catalyst Slim cover for PSPgo (color: grey)
- CM4 Catalyst Slim cover for Nintendo3DS (color: black) - 2 of them
- Plants vs Zombies Action Figure - Zombie with Traffic Cone on Head
- Plants vs Zombies Action Figure - Plain Zombie
- Penguin United Game Card pouch for DS or 3DS cartridges (holds 24) - 1 black, 3 pink, 3 navy blue
- Hyperkin Power Pak Plus Battery Pak for Nintendo 3DS
- iMP tech Animal Themed 3DS case holds 3DS and 3 cartridges - 1 Panda, 1 Meerkat
- 6 games (3 Plants vs. Zombies DS, 3 card/puzzle games)
- 4 Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Lanyards

Now, I was thinking of doing the following:
1st Place (of finals) - Wii U + Lanyard
2nd Place (of finals) - Wii U game (choice) + Lanyard
3rd Place (of finals) - Other Wii U Game + Lanyard
4th Place - one of the 6 games (choice) + Lanyard
5th place - one of the 6 games (choice)
6th Place - one of the 6 games (Choice)
7th Place - one of the 6 games (choice)
8th place - one of the 6 games (choice)

The above counts the 8 winners of the round on Saturday November 10th.

Now that leaves us with about 16 prizes. I'm not sure if the PSP case counts, unless someone wants to claim that (must have placed FIRST or Second). The prizes I was going to divide between 1st and 2nd place finishers. If no one that placed first or second claims the PSP case, then I will be working with what prizes go to the first place finishers, then lotto the remaining 7 prizes between the 8 second place finishers. Or I might be selecting a few of the better prizes in the bunch and bundling them with 5-8th place and lotto just a few prizes.

Greg

When can we start choosing prizes

As u know me and mavrick are racing at a certain time tonight so can we both pick a prize assuming we would win and if we lose then we hope our prize is still in by the time u are raffling off prizes to the second place finishers


Also can u explain what the 3ds battery pack does?

It clips onto the back and underside of the 3DS and gives you extra battery life. It's a supplemental battery. You charge it using a micro usb cord, which is included in the package. It is very helpful if you are going on a long trip. It isn't terribly bulky either.

I'm only allowing the PSP case as a choice, I was going to identify the 8 better prizes of the bunch and thinking of lotto-ing them between the 8 first place finishers. Same with the second place finishers. This is if and only if the PSP case is claimed. I know not all of us have a PSP, so I don't want to make someone get something they cannot use in the least bit.

The battery pack is a battery extension. Basically it adds an extra 4-6 hours of battery life to the 3DS (not compatible with 3DS XL). Basically it plugs into the charging slot on the back and adds a little width (not much) and there's a switch on the back to activate the additional battery. It charges via USB.

Typically I would let the 3DS battery nearly die, then switch it on. Then when it was completely dead, I would remove the battery pack (slides right off somewhat easily) and charge the 3DS like normal and charge the battery pack by plugging into a computer (no software required).

I agree. A very nice help for long trips or days at a convention or something where you play a lot.

Well I got almost half responses. Based on that, I'm thinking the following:

Saturday November 10th:
Noon-2pm block
2pm-4pm block
4pm-6pm block

Sunday November 11th:
4pm-6pm

Based on this I have:

Noon-2pm EST:
Funkman64
mnemosy
Mavrick593

2pm-4pm EST:
bittripfan
Prof3ssor MGW
zingzing45

4pm-6pm EST:
Luigitime67

SUNDAY 4pm-6pm EST:
NoahDP
Subtle?


Ebil I know you responded, but since you have open availability I did not assign a slot to see where others want to sign in. Subtle or Zing if that time doesn't work, you can select another. I will be PMing this to the ones that did not respond.

Actually, I'll do PMs tomorrow night. We have both showdown's going down tonight and it would be unfair for the times to fill up too quickly. Anyone that wants to change or put in a request can still do so.

Please either make a selection or indicate open availability.

Dark_Banana/PLWilliams87 you guys should probably respond if you need to get your preference in (or PM it).

Either PM or post your availability, I need to keep it balanced now, having 4 sets of 6, so I really hope it works out.

I got one these and it's great! The pack itself is also a sort of rubbery texture, so it adds some grip to the system as well.

Ok looks appealing to me and how does the prize system work again (for 1st and 2nd place finishers)


Also there is a chance that I am not available for 4-6, 3-5 may be a bit better in my preference...if possible

For Sunday, Noah said after 4... would moving it back help? Like 6-8pm or something? Or 7-9PM?

I can do the noon to 2pm on saturday. Do you anticipate the finals will be on the following weekend (Nov 17/18)?

Looking forward to the next round, I'm defenetly going to be multi-karting (chosing various kart combinations & characters) alot more this time.

Alright sounds good, I'll mark that one for you.




Right now, I only want to have it on the 17th. I'd love to have it at like a 1-3, 2-4, or 3-5 to allow everyone sufficient time to have their lives and/or go camping for the Wii U if needed.

Let's be honest, on the 18th those of us that reserved it will be wanting to play it.

I may not be able to do the Sunday round since I don't have much time around 5-930, 12-2 or 2-4 on Saturday is the better choice for me

That's fine, good to know. It was only a survey part, I just want to try to be fair. If Sunday doesn't work for 5 others, then noah will unfortunately have to sit out. That block could be doubled up with another one, or be a before/after time block, or overlap 2 of the Saturday blocks.

Please if you are avliable Sunday do it after making it past the first roung I would hate to drop out.

I moved you to 2-4 for now to even it out.

Moving it down the thread:

Noon-2pm EST:
Funkman64
mnemosy (volunteered last min switch to Sunday if need 1 more)
Mavrick593

2pm-4pm EST:
bittripfan
Prof3ssor MGW
zingzing45 (12-2 also works)

4pm-6pm EST:
Luigitime67
Ebil (open any time Sat)

SUNDAY 4pm-6pm EST:
NoahDP
Subtle?

-----
Subtle if that time doesn't work, you can select another. I will be PMing this to the ones that did not respond (Tomorrow).

Ebil, does your open availability include Sunday?

I only count 14 prizes not including the PSP case, the DS games, or the lanyards.
