You're right mystic. You're absolutely right. After all these posts I finally get it.

It IS the Classic Monthly Sparring tournament, isn't it?

And the people who won a qualifying spar got into the tournament, right?

So when the foreigners don't win a qualifying spar, THEY DON'T GET IN THE MOTHER ****ING TOURNAMENT. Go figure. Guess you weren't right after all, as usual.

So before I even ****ing continue, we've already stated that we host 8 summon spars, right?

So tell me, how many summon spars can a person pm a GC to get into? I'll answer my own ****ing question. It's ****ing eight. That means each person has a minimum eight chances to get in, regardless of what server they came from. No, UNers aren't going to know where our sparring arenas are. No, UNers might not be ready for the harsh reality that is having the pre-mass pm ready. So? Not our ****ing problem. If you come to our server, you better adjust to our ways if you want to get in the tournament. Not the other way around. Era doesn't expect switch their sparring tournaments into swords (or equivalent) only just b/c some classicians show up. Hell no. When you visit another country, you adjust to their rules and ways. Sure, they try to accommodate for you a bit (hence why we don't have 16 location spars,) but that has limits. Singapore, for instance, fines people for spitting gum in public. If an American comes over and spits his gum somewhere in Singapore, they don't ****ing change the laws just b/c hes not from Singapore. Hell ****ing no.

Back to classic. Duda its not that hard. Everyone has a minimum 8 chances to get in. If you don't get in, you can't win the tournament. Simple concept. Why should foreigners be on par with classicians? Because thats somehow "fairer"? People who have played in our spar tournaments before will know to have a PM ready. People who have played our server before will know where some of our spar locations are. You can't get around that. People who have done it before will have an advantage. It's called experience. Pros will always have an edge over rookies. Why are you trying to nullify the advantages people have gained by spending time on our server? "Hey thanks for spending 2k hours here but pretend to not know were supernicks spar is so this foreigner has a fair chance." Is that really what you want to tell people? "Yo don't have a pm ready for when I mass b/c these guys don't know to do that." Seriously man?

To get into a tournament, you have to earn your way in. It's never going to be "completely fair" to outsiders simply because they aren't used to our HD while people here might be. Should we use UN's HD to make it more fair to them? No. People who have played here deserve to have some sort of edge. And they do. They know how it works. It's not their fault that foreigners don't know how it works. Don't punish the people who know simply because a few random ppl don't. It's not fair to the people of classic.

(Ps: at college basketball example. Remind me the last time when North Carolina played a different amount of games as Gonzaga. Oh wait, they didn't. Thus they had the same number of chances to earn their way into the big dance.)
