I must say this artibitrary set of 4 makes little sense - It is just a name. The Spike! hasn't always been run and is just up for grabs. This year MOBB is running it and, unfortunately, it is a mess for various reasons (GW and MOBB).
It is going to have about 10 people attending.
yeah 5 peopleshowing friday only and 5 people showing saturday
i say let gw do thing thier way since it is thier's
if or when it flops it will be thier fault
gw fault is getting to many hand into organizing and running the tournament
what they should have done is have gamesday on sunday and make the spike a 2 day tourney with the first on a saturday so that it appeals to every bb player...
i think baccuus knowing that gamesday is on a saturday and the spike for gw was going to be a 1 day thing should've stay out of that disaster....
sorry baccuus but you step into the fire with gw in this one
I agree, if I had known that Games Day was Saturday BEFORE signing on as Organizer I would have had second thoughts myself
Oh well, next time it will be different. |

Thanks for getting back to me, but Clan-Skaven is not going to be coming, and to be honest, I do not want to take the time off for this one anymore.
Besides, I think there are other questions which need more of your attention than this one. |

Do you mean the tournament or the argument? 
The tournmanent has not been played yet, and the argument rages on. It looks like Clan Skaven is deifinitely ahead determined by his snappy comebacks and his "Wolverine" comment. Skaven27 is leadfing in number of posts, and it looks like Baccus is definitely going to be receiving the wooden spoon on this one. 
Actually I plan on getting the BAG O WHEAT |

Baccuus, I'm going to call ya on this one, WHEN HASN"T GAMESDAY BEEN ON SATURDAY? not to be mean or anything, but when they tell you they want to have spike at gamesday, take a look at all the gamesdays, they've been on saturdays for a LONG LONG time now, I might be wrong but the last 3 I've worked at were all on saturday....
Instead of answering some of the bickering questions, and stupid easy questions ( no offence to anyone) WHY not answer...
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH SPIKE NEXT WEEKEND!
Ah well, maybe I'll just call my grandma or something, she might know more about this than.... GW or even baccuus for that matter! |

Brian has already promised this to us in the past and has failed to fullfill his promise.
But we don't need it, that's what the bars are for at night.
Gotta love it.....free lap dance with every bucket of beer purchased. Only in Montreal. |

Tell you what Ben, you buy me a beer at the Q'ermitt and I will get Rod to give you a lap dance! 
Once he's drunk enough, I'm sure he'll go for it!  |

Yeah for some reason it was more difficult than I thought to convince the ladies to spend two days hanging out with geeks playing with little toys. Who would have thought.
Some of you seem to be getting a little harsh on Baccuus. Just remember that for better or worse being a TO is a non paying mostly thankless job that takes a fair amount of work to pull off well. Having GW tied to you like an anchor is no surprise that things aren't going well. I know we're pissed off with the Spike but I haven't seen any reason to take it out on him. Though not knowing that Games Day is always on Saturday is agree'd a little suspect. |

All I'm saying is that there's plenty of blame to go around and I wouldn't start with Baccuus to dish it out. I've helped run GW BB events at Games Day before and I can assure you it's no picnic. Heck the last time I showed up and they had no idea who I was even though I had confirmed twice that I was coming  |

Well, to be fair. I show up at events all the time and I have no idea who you are either. |

I'll grant you that the TO job can be hectic, and I will mroe than agree with you about the fact that working with GW can be next to impossible - believe me I have also been there!
But the fact that Baccus has remained largely unavailable during this time of turmoil is really what kicks me in the gonads. Sure we all have busy schedules, but to say you only have time to eat, work and sleep is a bit of an exaggeration. When you are the TO of a tourney that is going down the s***ter then MAKE THE DAMN TIME! People are looking to you for answers and you have to be there for them. Full stop.
Keep in mind that I am not putting all the blame on him - GW still holds the lion's share of that one, but I think the whole thing was poorly handled. Be like the Navy captains and go down with your ship! |
