Topic: NWR Wi-Fi Night 5/8/12 - Mario Kart 7

We can definitely fool around with it.

I can tell you this much, either 5/22 or 5/29 will be a Mario Tennis Open night. Likely 5/29 since the game doesn't hit Europe/Japan until 5/24.

I know you guys don't have any video capture equipment or anything, but is it possible in future tournaments that we get the score and some words about the match from each of the players. Right now you have zero eyeball time if it wasn't for the debacle. Not asking for full on ESPN coverage here, just something.

To be completely honest: the tournament is for the players first. It's also tough to do any video capturing when we're not playing the games.

I was working on an article for this, but I had to deal with people spamming my entire world for two days.

Naturally the tournament is about the players. But your giving away a lot of swag and not getting anything of it except a bit of grief. A bit of ego boosting after match trash talk from the players would be better than nothing.

I'm confused. What exactly happened?

[oohhboy]

The Kid Icarus tournament Bracket thread got hijacked by a person impersonating one of the players attempting to run a false flag operation to discredit the winning team. Neal caught on to them when he looked up the IP addresses. Far more drama and hits than the tournament generated. Also a lot of grief.

[NWR_Neal]

I think your over estimate how many hits that controversy generated...

[Oblivion]

Yeah, especially when I hadn't heard about it.
