Elements PvP Tournament - Rules

[Dm]

Clicking the linky also leads you to a page where you can check what time it is for you.

Updated the rules by removing some links to web pages or threads and replacing them by new ones (new chat for example) and the requirements to log in to chat.

Thought I'd mention it in case chat link changes again or something (blab doesn't look like the most permanent name to name a site :P).

Sorry for the double post, but I'd like to inform everyone that as of now, you will need at least 30 forum posts to be able to join a tournament.

As soon as I finally get a real life friend to play a tournament, they ban him from entering until he gets more posts.
...months...trying and persuading...all ruined...ugh...

Very good dicision imo. Western tournament yesterday had alot new people in it wich totally ruined the event.
People saying "I don't own any of the allowed cards, I forfeit" seconds before the match are not what we're looking for. There were about 5 people there spamming chat and not understanding any of the rules.

Higs had a tough night yesterday >.<

Uh, or he just posts a bit. Nothing ruined no more.

We decided on this rule change very long ago, but it has to be written to be able to enforce it. Edited the OP since the wording was contradictory.

^What he said.

Being new is not a defense, nor have it ever been, against not reading rules or following conventions or culture. This is applied everywhere in life, why would a online community be any different? Be it in small things such an joining a small club of chess players or on a serious note lets say going to a company for a job interview. Having no clue whatsoever is de facto being a total ass****, wasting other peoples time, enjoyment and resources.

I personally would even go so far as to say that those people in western should be ashamed of themselves for how they acted, I certainly would be if i showed up at a, the example was, chess club saying wide an openly "I don know how the pieces move, and also i wan to be in tonight's derby" or more seriously showing up for a job interview professing no understanding of the job just that you think it might be cool and give loads of cash and that they should hire you regardless of what is required of you in academic knowledge or skill.

What it boils down to is: Grow the *** up, get interested and make an informed decision before throwing yourself into other peoples hard spent time and effort. If you crap on others, dont expect anything back. The universe is not centered on you, show some respect.

Rastafla out.

Kudos Rasta, well said.

While I'm not 100% in agreement with the new policy, I definitely agree that something needed to be said/done about last weekend. It was bad to the point where I decided not to play, because I was sick of the childish rantings and people being douchebags. When I play, I'm here to have fun, just like everyone else. Anyways, probably didn't need to be said here, but, I did lol.
