Thanks, y'all...

Well I certainly didn't offer the prize money in the hopes that anyone would feel bad for winning it.

But I've been contacted by several people who seem to feel the tourney would be better off without money involved.

I guess we could set up a poll. Until then I have to say my offer is still good. I don't want people to feel bad about it.

Regards,

quadz

thats very commendable quadz.. but i THINK i speak for everyone when i say id rather see that money goto another months payments for the tastyspleen servers than in anyones pockets. ALOT of ppl got deep pockets here on tastyspleen..And i would hope that they would step forward out of love for tastyspleen to help out with the prizes..you always do more than enough.

just my opinion.

By far, the best prize you can win is this...

You finished #1 in a commuinity of friends/foes that you share a common gaming intrest with. People will congratulate you, people will dislike you.. but you get that feeling of being on top.

All of you, shut up.

No prizes for you.

Play the game, win and lose. Your prize is the epic of time wasted.

No more mention of prizes.

Have a beautiful day.

If you are doing something that you enjoy, I don't think you can qualify it as time wasted.

Well quadz, you won't have to worry about the 50$ for the sport bracket, being that when me and mya win we will definitely NOT accept it.

Congratulations kobra, you are once again trying to change a sentimental thread that's enjoyable to read to one of your pointless negative posts. I'm sure you'll come back to this post argumentative but it's true.. oh well..

But yeah quadz, i would feel too bad accepting money from you man.. I would hope that everyone else feels the same.

If I was to win the tourney.. I can't say i'd express the same intrest as whoever my partner will finally be, but I would donate my "prize winnings" to the commuinity/servers.

i understand everyone's idea that you should play for fun and not for a prize. prizes for a tourney should not be a sign of greed though, they should be an incentive to make the games more competitive. my partner and i signed up because we heard of $100 and mp3 player being prizes so we figured we would give it a shot. we play q4 and im traveling to nyc for a big tdm tournament and never planned on playing q2 a lot anyway because i don't to screw up my q4 game. however, if there was no prize then i would not want to even bother signing up because i have to focus on q4. if i were to lose, then no big deal i move on and congratulate the winner.

a decent prize = final match is interesting and not a blowout most likely.
no prize = final match is not interesting and is a complete blowout most likely.

this idea has been supported when comparing the first 1v1 tastyspleen tourney (with one good player - naymlis - playing in it) to the smackdown tourney or second tastyspleen tourney where there was a prize and demos worth watching.
