I had so much fucking fun this weekend, I swear. I'm gonna do that props thing you guys do so I can fit in.
Matthias - Y'know we barely played BB together at all? That kinda sucks. Good work running the tourney and with the setup and trying to keep everybody happy. You had a fair bit of shit to put up with but you did well. Don't take the Chicago thing too hard, this shit happens and CS just isn't hype enough right now to let something like this bother you too much. Thanks also for going ahead and doing what you had to do to get CS working better. I know I gave you some shit about it, but in retrospect if it could've made a difference it was right to do it.
Big Zach - if you lurk as much as you claim to, I'm sure you'll see this. Thanks for the games and the GG advice (and knocking me out of losers), and for not abusing my generosity too much.
Kyle - You're cool as hell, you know that? I don't know where you get off being cool like that. It's not right. Thanks for the games and the advice and everything else.
Zinac - I don't even think I got a proper chance to say hi to you. Hi.
Sly Moogle - Hi. Nice Anji. Thanks for the games.
Kyle, Zinac, Sly - Sorry about the diagonals. Honestly I just didn't realize it was an issue, but in some of the later games I did start to notice it. Honestly I still don't think it's a problem with the loader, I think it's just how the stick gives diagonal inputs to the PC (it's a POV hat on PC, 8 directions). Hopefully when CS hits consoles you guys can give us some real games. Sound good?
doragon - Thanks for running GG, trying to get us a team for BB, Chipp advice, and being an all-around cool guy. Honestly if I'd known BB would have such a bad turnout I would've put in a lot more effort to get people there and make it worth the trip. All I did was bring a setup. The next CS tournament will definitely be a bigger deal, I'll make sure of it.
Mac - Don't worry about it, it was cool meeting you. Thanks for the games, and letting me get that one round in on you. I'd love to make it out to AL more, but I work Thursday nights so it just isn't possible right now. I'm considering a change of schedule but nothing's concrete yet, and even if I go for it I might not get it. So for now I'm stuck to weekend games. If anything does come up I'll definitely try and be there, though. And congratulations, of course. At least the guy that soundly kicked my ass went on to win the whole thing, right?
Everyone I played but didn't catch the names of - Thanks for the games! Who are you?
Everyone I caught the names of but didn't play - Why didn't we play? I'm not that bad, damn.
Edit: Oh, shit. Rei. Good work on CS and thanks for the games.
Also Jason and Emba and everyone else sweating with us in the back room like the sad lifers we are. Thanks for being there and having a great time with us.
