NeedTheFriction

I didn't get very far but it was very well run from what i could tell before and after i got knocked out, both deadlines and people it were flexible and far from unreasonable. i can see the appeal for 16 player brackets but i recommend getting all willing participants names down so you can have divisions of sorts. for example if 20 people want to sign up you take 16 and try to get 12 more for the excess 4 players waiting. other than that recommendation it was an overall satisfying experience even getting knocked out early.

I feel a bit oblivious for stumbling on eliesons article only now but better late than never. I still haven't gotten my hands on fates because of a small shipping error but i will say i am infinitely more psyched to get it simply to hear your singing. It means a lot to hear a beautiful voice but it means so much more to meet a beautiful person. No one who works that hard and goes out of their way to interact with fans deserves the kind of rude reception some ungrateful fans gave. Ill be anxiously awaiting my special edition to hear the music you made possible. Welcome to the Forrest Mrs.Strober!

sorry ive been super invisible, things have been a bit hectic ;;^^ i DID NOT expect to make it as far as i did so even though i lost i'm glad it was such a tight match. i don't go to tournaments anymore because they usually feel so one sided, win or lose my favorite matches are close ones. i'm glad i got to play in this :3 it was fun. represent the radiant hero for both of us would ya jotaro? we like ike! ^w^

ive been thinking about getting into anthers ladder to better my game and playing with other people from SF sounds like fun too. If i have enough time between the date and now to polish my game i would like to try.

Anacybele i don know too many people and koishi wanted her so i'm on that train.

thanks for answering. yup friction, thats me. haha my username was originally a friends prank, she payed $20 to change my account name on xbox one after a funny conversation about showers. i liked it so much i decided to keep it and i still put it as my username in certain places. i like to think im pretty kind although i can be pretty emotional. speaking of emotional im a cancer/gemini cusp, horoscopes are a guilty pleasure of mine. if you dont mind two more questions 1. do you think horoscopes are interesting even if you dont believe in their accuracy? 2. do you have a guilty pleasure that you are comfortable sharing? something silly where you dont know why but you really like it? thanks a bundle sorin ^w^

im still pretty unfamiliar with fourm use but this seemed like a fun way to meet people. if you dont mind questions are as follows. 1. is it too late to be asking questions? 2. if no what answer would you give to being asked what question you would like to answer? 3. can you answer the above question's answer? 4. i already said im still pretty weird with forum use but i wouldn't be here if i didn't want to meet people, any tips for breaking out of obscurity in forum use? 5. i dont know why people are doing this but i'm curious and self conscious so first impression bandwagon question?

cus im in too deep, and im trying to keep, up above in my head, instead of going under. take that however you want.

god help your soul. its been at least 4 years and im still so glad to be out of high school =.= actually i didn't. then again i never got past sophmore year in highschool before dropping out so its not surprising.

Did you guys know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell?! :O I KNOW, FASCINATING RIGHT?

I was going to start looking into my first attempt at a ragefest hack but then i saw this. i like the idea of a single chapter hacking contest that isnt only focused on obscene difficulty, so If this goes through ill be looking forward to submitting.

i relate to this group of people, you are my family now, no exceptions.

i know. shhhh its ok. you just being here helps.

Actually i think its neither. The education system isn't the cause but i don't think its all my doing either. I just naturally get tired easier when the sun rises and i have a hard time sleeping at night. This has led me to think i might have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder but who knows.

what work?

Learning was never the problem for me. It was always much harder to do something with what i learned. I'll never understand why so many people say admitting your problems is the hardest part. I could give you 10 page essay on things i SHOULD do better but actually getting off my lazy butt and trying to fix them has always been my stopping point.

Oh good i meet the criteria, do we plan activities to keep people occupied in the late hours or what? I'm not sure why but i get the feeling our sleep schedules aren't the only thing poorly planned, this club feels the same way o-o. i guess we COULD plan better but nah ill do it later.

Is this the poor sleep schedule club? if so where do i sign up?

I know this might sound crazy but i didn't start because of super smash bros. When i was in around 3rd grade a good chunk of my grade played melee, keep in mind i went to a really tiny private school. Anyway a friend from school got curious about marth and roy and picked up fire emblem 7. He hated the game and gave me the cartage. I was like "HECK YEAH! FREE GAME!". weirdly enough i never really questioned them in the roster but as soon as the opening cinematic played my eyes widened so fast. When i saw Lyn for the first time i teared up, It was love at first sight. Very few games have given me that same butterflies in my stomach feeling to this day. Fun fact: the game and especially Lyn had such a massive impact on my life i decided if i have a daughter i'm going to name her Lyndis. I can only hope she grows up to be as kind and strong as the girl who made me fall in love with this series.

I like to imagine different options based on my dominant personality trait. I have always had a soft spot for playboy characters with a heart of gold so i know having Sain as my guardian mirage would fit well. Matthew fits my humorous personality that can switch to a strong sense of justice in a split second Other than that i find myself identifying with characters like Franz because he doesn't give himself enough credit and doubts himself often. People say the same thing about me. My mirage options would likely look like this Sain>Matthew>Franz fun fact: my middle name is Matthew.

i understand what you are saying and its quite possible the quality of supports has remained consistent throughout the series. maybe the only reason im so peeved by the quality isnt a matter of quality at all, rather awakening just made it so accessible that it made the flaws more noticeable. if that is the case less support options wouldn't affect quality directly but it would still make a difference on how we see them because they arnt overused. truthfully i have wanted to see supports between certain characters that couldnt in past games but id rather have too little supports because too many seems to dilute the quality indirectly. im glad this is being discussed, its nice to know im not the only one putting so much thought into this mechanic.

thanks bro, ill check out your post. also im loving the profile pic ^w^

on the contrary i'm sorta glad you disagree. its great to know there are people who agree with me but its just as important to me to see the opposing views. the only way to see this objectively is to have people on both sides of the fence. regardless of where each of us stands its kinda sad that we are inevitably at the mercy of nintendo on this one. in a sense i don't blame them for pandering to what people loved about awakening because if it wasn't so big we wouldn't be getting fates. the problem is i think it will be long and difficult to even attempt to change back because one wrong move could bring the series back to square one again, then no one wins. although i'm not a fan of the current support and marriage system many other changes i am very happy with so i can look past this in favor of the good parts. either way i am ultimately still looking forward to fates.

first of all i did not expect so many responses. this is a pretty big peeve for me so its nice to hear i'm not the only one with concerns. some people even gave possible solutions, needless to say i'm glad i put this on the table. i am going to take you up on your offer and thoroughly enjoy the mint slowly. thanks for the warm welcome everybody and i look forward to chatting with you all on other subjects too. for example the communities problem with radiant dawn, but that's for another post. (pssst where are the mints again?)
