I figured we have a decent stable of guys playing this... might as well make a tournament out of it and see how it goes. I'm assuming everyone will be playing asynchronously, though if you wanted to make a date with your opponent and hop online that's fine as well. And being asynchronous it may take a while to get finished... not gonna put any hard caps on time it takes to play a game, i'll just say it's a judgement call on my part if someone is really, really slow. If this works we'll do more, with different game types, and improved rules based on what we learn here.


So, single game, single elim. Championship game is best of 3 series.


US 8-Ball




IN:

Mortimer

Juanster

Maximus

phineasgage

kurichan

gamer

mik

Momerath











If just seeing this thread makes you want to buy the game it's $10 and that gets you the ps3 and PSV versions. DOOOO ITTTT.

Is this game really worth the $10 download?

[Maximus]

I'm in.

[famousmortimer]

Is this game really worth the $10 download?

I've played 54 online games so far... and a few hours of the offline campaign. I've gotten my money's worth and more.


Here's what the asyncronous play is like...

[Phineas Gage]

I'll play.

[famousmortimer]

need moar

[TheKurichan]

Well, I can play, but now it's uneven.

[juanster]

If there isn't enough interest for a tournament, how about we just form a small league? Everybody plays each other twice for points.

[gamer812]

I'm game. I'm terrible at pool (even though I got a really good game against famousmortimer )

[famousmortimer]

I'm game. I'm terrible at pool (even though I got a really good game against famousmortimer )

Evidently 'im terrible at pool' means 'I ran the table in one turn against mort.'

[famousmortimer]

I'm gonna hold off one or two more days... would like to get to atleast 8. And juanster, after we do this if people are interested a small season with complete flex scheduling sounds fun. But we'll get to that after this.



Anyway....

Mik?

Nasero?


Everyone else with a Vita and $10?

[mik]

I'll play.

[famousmortimer]

We need one mo!

[momerath]

I have a feeling I'll be pretty awful at this, but I'll play if you need one more.

[famousmortimer]

This thread got lost in my hectic week last week. I'll throw together a bracket today and we will *finally* start this.

[famousmortimer]

I went alphabetical for seeding.








GO GO GO GO


It's US 8 Ball, single elimination (except for the championship which is best of 3).

The heart on the "i" really makes it special. Well done.

Mik, I don't know if you're on my PSN friends list... I'll try to send out a friend request this evening when I'm off work.

[TheKurichan]

This game has been playing up for me, hopefully I don't have it ignoring my turns this time.

[famousmortimer]

Yeah i've had a few issues lately myself.

This game has been wonky for me since I bought it.

Not sure if you've sent a game request or not Kurichan, but I will try and remember to check tonight.

not yet, you can send one to me if you want. I won't get it for a few hours yet (my 3G plan ran out and I want to find a cheaper plan before I buy more credit).

[juanster]

I beat gamer this week. Took forever to finish the match.

[famousmortimer]

Camus beat me.

[TheKurichan]

Our game never started, I sent the invite...

[momerath]

Mik and I are playing, albeit slowly.

[Maximus]

Our game never started, I sent the invite...

Ya, that's on me, I have just been really swamped lately. I will try and load it up tonight. If I'm too late, I'm fine with being DQ'ed.

[TheKurichan]

I don't think that is necessary. There's no time limit.

[Maximus]

I don't think that is necessary. There's no time limit.

I tried to load our game up last night but the invite had expired, again, my fault not yours. I sent a new game request over your way, so if you still want to play our match I'll be more diligent in checking it daily when I am able.

[TheKurichan]

Word, I'll be in Japan from Sunday, so this may end up failing, but let's give it a go.

[joseph881]

I'll try and quickly jump into this if it is still going,
