I just woke up. Norcal Install was so hype, it took the life out of me. So, small shoutout, since this seems to be a friendly trend.
Haunts - I know you aren't reading this because you never go on here, but thanks for having faith in this new fighting game community. It took a lot of time to promote the thing and to inspire faith in people, but you stuck with me. Thank you.
TaoFTW - I'm glad we got together on the idea. It was always in the back of my mind: "How can I get this community more recognition?" And when Norcal Install came up, it dawned on me that a lot of growth could come from this. Thank you for working so hard to manage the event; without that, any promotion for the community and Iplaywinner couldn't have happened.
Rin - You did a good job doing your thing. We are incredibly glad you are on the IPW team, man. Such a valuable addition diiiiiiiiiiis guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy!
Dacidbro - Love your commentary. Love your friendship. You're a endearing guy. Sorry we didn't have time to money match, man. Keep representing Norcal with your Bang!
Zong_One- I love your preferences. Thanks for helping me with the Carl matchup. I honestly didn't know that a Carl could play like that 'til I met you. Got to practice it...somehow.
Aginor - Bro, thanks for working so hard on the brackets and all around being such a good friend. Next time you come over to Davis, man, I got you. We gonna be chilling like it's Christmas.
Ginseng - I know you didn't have the best of times at NCI, but I'm glad I got to see you, man. Thanks for always being a great friend. Your support means a lot. Hope for a Tsubaki buff in BBCS: 2. It's right around the corner.
Xie: Thanks for helping out with the commentary on the stream. I was worried we couldn't get someone to cover for us, but you did, and it's always appreciated. Keep it chill, like when you one the side bet on Qaenyin versus Hellmonkey ;_;
Bellreisa: Man, I was really happy you could make it to the event. I heard the stream really liked your commentary on Melty Blood. I also liked how watching your White Len play opened me up more towards Melty Blood. I liked hte oki and air covering options you did, as well as that bait throw you did.
Spirit Juice: Thank you for working on the bracket and juggling with the commentary. I know the request was unreasonable, but you did well and kept the stream hype as possible. There was entertainment at all times for the viewers because of yours and a collaboration of other people's efforts.
Koogy: How come you are always so funny? I'm glad you made sales at NCI, and I got a GOLDEN TIGERSHOT SHIRT, too! YEAH!
Bang/Makoto_Camaro: You are such a fun guy to hang around. If you ever are in Norcal, let's totally hang. Grab a beer. Watch a movie. Tons of homo.
All in all, NCI was really good, man. I haven't had that much fun in a tournament for a very VERY long time. Thank god I quit SSf4.
