I'll be on within the hour for several matches, GT: Crusader4Reason. I'm looking for Gold/Platinum speed runs, more instruction, or even just to play with other classes and maps to prep myself for the upcoming tournament, like some Random/Random Gold matches.

And I think SlimJim has a good idea about players getting to know each other better before the tournament. For instance, other than the few individuals I've met, people would have to be drafting me with no knowledge of my skill level and in-game communication given how few matches I've been in. Maybe doing so could be considered a "Draft Combine" so captains aren't just taking flier picks on unknowns, and we could have Training Camp after the draft to give the teams some time to gel before the real tournament.

Just some suggestions. Perhaps you guys already have a pretty good feel for the players in the group.

Love the draft combine idea. Shoot me a message over live when you get on I may jump back on. I won't appear online but I will be there

That would be splendid!  I'm getting on in a couple of minutes.  I'm itching to try out that Harrier I finally unlocked.

I think it would be handy to have a link to our manifest next to our names during the draft so the captains could have a quick glance of available equipment and guns. Might help alleviate some issues with a lack of previous experience with members of the group.

Got room for 2 for some trainging glacier runs and maybe a few random runs

Sadly I have to disagree a bit here. Even though a pretty filled manifest is nice that is certainly no indication of how well a player will preform, especially given internet issues between timezones.

you know i'm always willing to help you out if i'm around and available buddy

Thank AreleX. You know I love chilling in your backpack... popping my head out once in a while to cap a few Phantoms and Geth Pyros..

But I hope that I have improved since the last time we played together. At least now, I can carry scrubs to the finishing line against Cerberus.

Did a Gold PUG yesterday on U/U/G. Dropped us into a Ghost/Cerberus game. Luckily I've got one other competant teammate while the other two scrubbed out.

It felt good carrying randoms tho... A real change from my usual routine of being carried by TattyUD and you...

Absolutely there is no correlation between a filled manifest and skill but it is one extra piece of information that can be available to the captains as they draft. 

Since most of them will have to make at least one blind pick for their team providing easy access to as much information as possible will only benefit them as they make their decision. Obviously, many factors will come into play. This was simply an idea to provide a little extra assistance should they want it. 

As for compiling it, I can do that should you want me to

i'm down with having a combine, let's make that this week's goal, with the draft and practice for next week.

can anyone compile a full list of entrants?

[AreleX]

also, good games to crusader4reason and papajester, hope to see you guys in more games in the future. you have a semi-ok teacher in the usurper (bechter), so you guys will be tearing it up in no time.

True though seeing as they need more captians and I am willing to step up if need be I would like to get in games with everyone in the draft if possible. I am around very often at the moment, so maybe no blind picks for me hopefully! I also really wouldn't enjoy picking a player based just off of their manifest, so I would really like to once again urge the players at least participating in the fantasy draft to try getting games in with everyone.

Bechter had a list started in the group discussion of it, but if necessary I can take that over if Bechter doesn't have time to update it.

vorcha ftw all events wearing his bengals stripes of course. who .........

You don't want any of the Flash homie! (My Drell Adept speed specced too)

[usmcsnyper31]

I didn't know you wanted to fail all the events...probably just used to it being a Bengal fan

[usmcsnyper31]

Pfft my Drell is named usain bolt or I could use my geth named flash Gordon...flash! Ahh ohhh

[defleshing]

you can't outrun a vorcha. they run on all fours it would be like a chad johnson outrunning a horse. and we all know that would never happen........

TBH I don't know which one is faster. The Drell seems a bit faster, but I could be wrong. Here we go... Flash (my Drell) against a GI (Superman) to see who the fastest is!

[usmcsnyper31]

Chad Johnson can't outrun his past as a Bengal he's tainted for life

[defleshing]

shadows have multiple speed bonuses also. but like i said vorcha ftw. also bengals 1-0. and from what bechter was saying you guys might have to hear me talk up my bengals all year while you losing to me in the fantasy league. lol. usmcsniper im still not sure who your team is.

Nice meeting you in-game, AreleX!  It was great to meet the guy who taught me to Smashguard.  Hopefully, I'll be warmed up next time we meet.  I had an atrocious start, but I think I did pretty well after you left.  I was only insta-killed once in all the games tonight--that was a huge improvement for me just in terms of survivability on Platinum.  And I actually hit with all of my missiles tonight.    It was pretty awesome having both you and Bechter in for the same training session. 

I'll definitely be a regular in the group now.  I'll try to be on again tomorrow for a longer period of time to keep pushing myself to improve, to keep meeting new players, and to hopefully catch the eye of the combine coaches.

And those were some good games to papajester and that neonzee(something) fellow.  We were starting to get in a good flow there in the last couple of games.

There is a slight issue... not everyone's account is link to their GT (mine for one). I have no issues with handtyping mine but not everyone will feel like that, nor could I or they prove 100% that that was our manifests...
