Congrats first of all to Sendog..the winner of the 1st GDS tourney.
Blackhound did a superb job hosting the event May 22/23. Players which signed on and
didn't appear without any excuse for being absent should NOT be allowed in any future
tourneys. What I was afraid of came true, the bad connection problem killed off several of
the players including myself..(at least I can say I went undefeated in the few games I did
play). I know time is a problem to start these events but we should stick to a time and
NOT change it..it gets frustrating when you initially plan your day around a certain
starting time and find out a few days before the event the time had changed! Anyway, kudos go to SgtEvans for the bulk of the groundwork to make
this first Tourney a success with a game that has its problems; and to all the
participants for their great sportsmanship and humour in the face of all the con problems.
The next tourney should even be better!
My two cents:)

GDS
Challenge,
was it really a challenge?
Hey! hey!hey! :) I am back!! After a month long spell I finally had the time to
write something. The GDS Challenge, was it really a challenge? Well for the organizers it
was a reall challenge so to speak! Behind the scenes there were countless meetings that
almost led to nowehere and a lot of ideas on setting up the Tourney. It was also a
challenge for us to make people play a game that is unreliable when it comes to playing it
via the zone! There was hardship along the way, some members suddenly loss their apetite
for the game because the patch wasn't really able to fix things or didn't meet their
expectations. And because of that the GDS was also greatly affected. So right now, the GDS
core group remains. Except for a couple of members, but this doesn't matter really. To me
it was all about having friends and enjoying each others company on the zone. Sharing each
others ideas and strategies.
So now we are back to a handful again but still solid in
our ideas and friendship :) Thank you so much for participating in this venture! Have a
good one!
