Neh, time and place I reckon.
After paying fees and spending hours travelling across the country to attend the events, it's not fun putting up with people who treat it as a lolacious jolly, esp when everyone else is at least putting the effort in and having fun at the same time.

why would you spend money on a cross-country jolly if you won't accept that it's a jolly?

( sleepybinky, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 14:43, archived)

Because I believe you can still play hard and enjoy yourself at these jollies
I'd rather play hard, enjoy the game and still lose rather than play half-arsed and lose badly, especially when there's no reason not to.
I don't really see the fun in not playing as hard as you can.
This may mean that I stop going to these jollies and just focus on the more serious events.

Haha, what? You get angry at the events specifically intended to be pissed around at because people piss around?

It could be seen that way, I accept that
I just fail to see why people would prefer to dick around at the cost of losing so badly to other teams.
Way I see it: if you're good enough, you can all play hard together and dick around at the party afterwards but in the games themselves: I'd rather play and enjoy playing rather than not be able to play, simply because other people don't want to play.

Dick around is certainly the most apt choice of words here,
seeing as the party afterwards takes place naked in a bath with 16 other blokes.

I think I'll either stop going to loltournaments
Or go to loltournaments with better teams.

Guys guys guys
Can you please all stop having fun, this is meant to be a sombre event.

Balls does it
A dozen pushpins and a paper plate. That'll do ya.

No, really
But it does lead to organisers putting their logos on Discrafttm discs and selling them off at these events.
It's either teams with a bit of a budget or tournaments themselves who order in bulk of 50 or 100 discs, and then sell them onwards.

It's a neat way of showing people what events you attended, who you played against etc.

Is this like how the dullest of first year students keeps a row of different alcoholic beverage containers to be all 'look at how much I drank man, I'm so wacky!'?

( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Thu 8 Sep 2011, 15:27, archived)

The point is lost on you, but I'm glad you kept up with me thus far
