Shoulda saved up all the cash you hustled the rest of us out of at the ranbats!

Whoever came up with the name of this tournament deserves a slap too. It's a fighting game tournament in Cannes and it's NOT called the Cannes Fighting Festival!

Doctor DooM

I wish we'd gotten a flag though.

The thought of knocking each other out early on is not pleasant.

Dreddybajs

I presume all the "others" will be separated just like other flags? Unfortunate if not though.

Sisko

why didnt we get a flag?

animaX

Looks like you guys will be up against Barack Obama

Jim

We should have all picked the Japanese flag to intimidate the opposition.

Xinkai

Yeah Jim i can imagine it now...

ALL LES WAY FROM JAPAN OUI OUI, PUT LES HANDS TOGEZEAR FOR CHOPPER!!

Sorry but that name is as Irish as it gets haha

chopperbyrne

I see Blag and Newtype are now down on the pre-reg list along with Vdeck and Roogle.

Also HMUYA, why are you down as Orim?

Team Discovery Channel FTW!!!!!!

I actually messaged a French guy I know from GGPO called Orim to ask if that was him, lol :pac:

Orim

I got tired of people not being able to pronounce the name. So I sought out a different name and picked out Orim.
Bonus nerd points for anyone that knows where it came from :pac:

chopperbyrne

Magic: The Gathering?

Orim

That didn't take long at all. The bonus is if I ever get famous with this name, I might be able to get sponsership from Wizards. :rolleyes:

chopperbyrne

It's the first port of call for obscure nerdiness, then anime.

I bet its Orim M. Meikle (born 1967), the Senior Pastor and Chairman of Rhema Christian Ministries, one of the fastest growing churches in Toronto, Canada, with a congregation of over 2000 people and a variety of weekly services in English and Spanish!

Thats gotta be worth a lot of nerd points

not too sure my tiger shotting friend.

Looking up the memictionary, the appropriate response to the mention of Christian religion on an internet forum is to either go

a) No thanks, I don't believe in fairytales.

OR

b) Christianity? BULL. Pagan ftw

Thems some nerd points right there.

I think we've hit the limit, I don't think anyone else has shown interest.

In other news Daigo is confirmed.

Sisko

Looking more doubtful that I can make it to this tbh.

Btw anyone find out why as far as these french guys are concerned Ireland does not exist?

Any way to contact them about this? Pretty shitty the 1st time our scene goes to represent ourselves in another country (dragon slayers doesn't really count) and we can't even show our flag:(

I imagine because they would never have had any Irish guys going before? Or at least guys specifically going under the Irish banner. Same reason they don't have X countries banner.

chopperbyrne

I was going to contact them, but they have no contact info.

FoamyMushroom

is this event gonna be streamed by any chance?

They said it won't be streamed, but they would have HD recordings. Not sure if that'll include group stages or not.

Dreddybajs

Doubt it since it looks like there'll be 256 players. :pac:

There's 283 pre-regs. Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who gets to play.

There's an e-mail address for changing your info so I sent them a mail to see if we can get an Irish flag up there.

Chopper did you hear back about when you get charged for the hotel room. I'm wondering because it says on the website,

Our partner Maeva offers special prices for those who come for the show.

Just mention to the hotel help desk of the residence of your choice that you come to Cannes for the International Game Festival (Festival International des Jeux)

chopperbyrne

No reply at all. Damn froggy bastards!
