6. And I haven't personally seen you play in Vintage tournaments before (I've been in Vintage since the Gamer's/NG days)

ayos!!! isang buwang lampungan ulit kay misis para pumayag hahahaha!

Astig sa mga titles a! hahahaha!!

Kelan Summerslam at Wrestlemania? lol
Sge! Mamarkahan ko na rin ito!! Marami akong malabong parts this March e.

Ching papano kung sa 1 game nag cash in yung may briefcase so triple threat for the belt? =D Haha

EDIT: April 10 pala yung legacy. Walang kaagaw pala. Hehe

this comment just made my day! hahaha. ayos to ah! oo nga naman,ching. paano kung nagcash-in ng briefcase? EDH na ba ang deck na gagamitin na ipanlalaban? hahahahaha.

i hope this time makalaro na talaga ako dito; last time kasi ang liit ng sinuweldo ko eh, inabot ng cut-off

Lau, di ko agad nailagay yung "Cash-in ng briefcase" incentive nung last tournament eh.




Sa May po ang Summerslam Gio! December syempre ang Wrestlemania 1



Gusto ko kasi gumawa ng mechanics wherein yung titleholder defends his belt against the winner of the monthly tournament, very daunting kasi ang task kung a titleholder must win the whole tournament. Di naman pwede sa DCI, na bigyan ko ng 4-5 game bye yung winner. So parang Royal Rumble o MITB nalang wherein yung winner can challenge yung titleholder. Yung titleholder naman can keep his belt for a long time as long as maipanalo niya yung challenge niya! Sa tingin niyo guys? O yung winner nalang ng tourney ang hahawak sa belt?

To keep it simple Ching, winner take all na lang. Yung pay-per-view na gimik marketing touch lang talaga. Nice din though kung mapull-off parang incentive ng nagchamp. I would suggest since defending ka, round 1 bye at least may headstart to defend the title. Hehe

Haha though yung mechanics pwede ilagay sa casual na laro say edh. Baka dun possible pa. Naimagine mo royal rumble every two turns may papasok na bago. Say 2 players muna tapos after 2 turns each, may papasok na 3rd player. Ikot 2 turns ulit 4th player papasok. Hehe OT na ito=D

in keeping it simple... winner of the tournament gets the belt... period

sa di pala nakakita last Sunday I gave Vince Ching, a commemorative mini-belt, before relinquishing his title. Same with the future winners, may mini-belt from me.

nice... pwede ba lumaban sa royal rumble at wrestlemania pag hindi nag top dito?
