Brad : I busted my ass for El Jimador. That event was not status quo, nor could it have happened without my efforts. Then I threw the $500.00 tourney right after it which was pretty much my pay forwarded as prize money which you paid nearly half of yourself. That is anything but the status quo. I also gave Bryan the reins to Duke's to let him go with his ideas. That is not the status quo, and certainly didn't end well for me while relying on the status quo. Seriously those were "special events" and I went above and beyond to meet the demands for it. So, no, I do not agree with that particular assessment. Frankly, the only manner this can be directed towards me is due to the fact that I do not point these things out habitually for everyone. I don't need "look at me" moments, I just need to do my job.
Yet, I completely agree that I must work harder at promoting fun at our events. Since, often, I do look at it as simply a job. I forget that it is that night of fun for most (not often, but I do). I try, at times, and then meet the fist punch of pain and distraction. This is not an excuse, at all. It is only an explanation. And not one worth repeating really, since I do sincerely wish to grow my vending business. It is an odd business, but also a bit addictive. I am just about the worst person imaginable for it at the moment, but I hope for that to change soon.
Bryan: You are a petulant child that fucked me over with your paranoia. Funny thing is, you accuse Billy of being paranoid as the cornerstone of your attack. Truth be told, I agree that it is a flaw of his that I have literally screamed at him about. Yet, you completely own that fault yourself. You left me high and dry due to your paranoia concerning Billy. You even took out the token mechanisms that you talked me into putting in due to a sudden fear that Billy could somehow fuck you over. Furthermore, you decided to say fuck you Jesse about the table fee's for 3 weeks (which is basically theft), and only paid them back after you simply came to your senses…I left you be if you recall. Plus, you left EVERYONE in the dark about the tokens themselves. And, now, you are attempting to pass it all of as my fault. Which, technically, I guess, it is since I agreed to allow you in. For that, I truly do apologize to everyone affected.
Yet, that is only the beginning. You constantly talk shit about Arizona Foosball and Duke's/Stinger's. You constantly attack me verbally about Billy. The last time over Billy being "your boy" when you have an altercation at Duke's because your team wouldn't "fist-bump" Billy at the beginning of the match. This during a fucking tournament I was forced to withdraw from in which I was supposed to play with Bill, all because a certain parties didn’t want a double draw or x-man. In addition, you were fucking wrong that I didn't compensate the only person that mattered (I gave Travis half his entry fee back), because none of the rest of you deserved any sort of money back since you won the game shithead, and Billy behaved like a shithead.
In addition, I didn't just suspend Billy from Duke's (the only place he doesn't go, according to you), I suspended him from Stinger's as well (the only place that is supposed to have tournaments but doesn't of late). Guess that was a conspiracy though…probably canceled them just because Billy couldn't go. I CAN'T suspend him from other events because I have NO authority to do so! Can Kenny suspend someone from Duke's?! Well, probably…if he asked, but not just because he wants to.
It works like this…Bill works with others to put on a League events. I am one he works with. Kenny is another. Conceivably, if you were not such a dick, you could be another. This does not make us part of Arizona Foosball. Though, I would happily be part of it if I could. You, on the other hand, have blown all your opportunities with Arizona Foosball, The Loft, and my events at Duke's/Stinger's. Thus, your only path to your personal glory is via the destruction of others.
Well, go fuck yourself. Buy your brand new tables. Start a tournament. Take the city over with your badass self. According to you and this forum post, you should have a hella easy time taking over the city with your brand of foosball. I REALLY don’t care. All I care about is that there IS foosball. I provide a service for only one reason, I love Foosball.
Pinalyzer- Not sure what you mean, really. The payment is pretty much figured out as soon as you know how many players are in the tournament at Duke's/Stinger's. I had a set system in the past, but found Brad's to be superior so adapted to it.
*6 Teams or less = 70% / 30%
*7 to 11 Teams = 55% / 30% / 15%
*12 or more Teams = 50% / 25% / 15% / 10%
As far as how much you get for third place, you got $15 you said? Meaning your partner got $15 as well. And that was beyond your entry fee? How is that not okay? I would even say that is high…3rd place is typically where I am happy just to get my entry fee back. If this is directed at other events other than my own, well, I have nothing to say then as they have nothing to do with me.
If, however, you are saying that the money earned should be higher as the rest of your post suggests…I can only kind of agree. I happen to be one of them people holding back time. Hell, I tried to keep a form of free play going due to my cheap nature! I don't want to increase the expense of the game (which seems to be the norm now, usually 1.50 in many places in the Midwest), but I knew that I couldn't keep throwing money into the pot if I wanted to keep the tables up. I doubt highly that increasing the table fee or entry fee would work for our local scene, so I had to do the only thing left to me…stop throwing my own money into the pot. It is still 100% payback of entry fee's, and from what I see, that is fair.
Ricky C- How can something provided to us be broken in the first place?! It can only be broken by people that choose to see it that way. You sound like a WeFoos commercial. Why would any of us really give a shit?! I guess once Bryan rolls out his tables and what not, it will matter, just really sucks that you are selling it already. And, no, I do not think I have the answers. Seems to me that only children believe they have all the answers. And, PLEASE TELL ME, how you are not able to talk to me about any god damn thing you want?! You are just listening to the non-stop nonsense! You could tell me anything, just like everyone else…and I will say, If you believe in it…do it! Ill give you the platform! I have even asked you to do this….so, guess I am a bit confused about your entire statement.
Slamin' Bamin' Duncan- Sorry, but I replaced the light the same day you posted. Lol. Yet, you are right. I am slow on these things because I am spending most of my funds elsewhere. I wish to keep foosball expenses limited to foosball profits, but that never seems to work out. A bar here, many a guy there, a light today, and many balls in the future. I have not had vendor luck of late and I am cheap as shit since I am broke as shit. I apologize and will try to do better in the future.
