[Farrmark]

I've put my name down, although I go on holiday the day after and my nieces Christening is around then too....

I'll obviously remove myself should there be a clash :)

[Hursti]

If only I had passed my driving test :(

[KONSPIRACY]

Hope to see some of the regular MatchBox360 members make it for this one! This will be the first of many free to enter MatchBox360 XL Pes Rankings events so please come and join in the fun if you can! Dont forget its...FREE!!! :D

[Renegade]

I really want to attend, but the combination of International Teams, Duplicates, and Max Condition settings are really putting me off.

Also, April is an extremely busy month for me, not to mention it's a three hour drive to Birmingham and the same back is a killer...


*edit* And of course, if I was to attend any offline event, I would happily introduce myself to, and shake hands with, BARR2K. My post in the other thread was a reaction to an extremely bad day and, whilst I still stand by every comment I made, wish to make clear that there were no bad intentions and that a difference of opinion is always welcome.

[BARR2K]

Fair enough dude :)

I understand what you are saying about match condition/teams etc.

But because they are official offline events we have to give everyone a fair crack of the whip, meaning no random arrows and bans on teams...

Even though I like random teams etc myself, making such a rule in a High K event would lose us quite a few players...

I do however have a few things in the mix regarding future online events which will involve random game factors... but before that happens I need to concentrate on building up the profile and user base of matchbox pes events :)

[KONSPIRACY]

Would be good to meet you in person renegade if you can make it...dont think you introduced yourself at the last XL?

Same goes for all MatchBox360 members...get down there n say hello. It should be a good day out whatever happens n look forward to havin a few beers with you all afterwards! :D

If I can be there Kon, I will. Will definitely be attending the next XL. I spoke to you at the last XL but it probably wasn't obvious who I was, as I was introduced to XL by another person and signed up here shortly before the event began. But like I said, when I'm next in the vicinity, I'll make myself known!

[Makenshi]

hopefully the number of players that sign up, turn up, was disappointing before when we though we were gonna have a big event on our hands, and yet we had less than half or something close to that, should be good to see some new faces, gets kinda old playing the same people every month, lol.

[BARR2K]

we had 40 sign up and 21 came... still not bad

already we have 27 signed up, so a good start :)

[KONSPIRACY]

Yep its lookin to be a good turnout tbh and really looking forward to it.

Dont forget if you havent signed up yet...this is a FREE TO ENTER tournament:

[benandrews]

the last gamestation event i went to was well organised and was a very enjoyable tournament. il pop along to this one too, one thing barr, 45 ppl have signed up atm, if (which i odnt think will happen) every who has signed up comes to the event will all 45 be able to play? :)

[Farrmark]

There's 10 pods and 5 wall mounted 360's, pretty sure that they'll all be able to play ;)

Are you going Farrmark? Been looking for a PESFan ref to take it out on since being banned :cool:

[Gaskin]

I'm pretty sure I can go, but not 100% certain. But I'll know for definite when the weekend comes closer.

As Mark said... 15 pods

Not a problem at all

I could run a 64 man league with 8 pods at a push....

[Farrmark]

Are you going Farrmark? Been looking for a PESFan ref to take it out on since being banned :cool:Afraid not, I'm at a Christening :(

[Pheonix_Rising]

Can I come along on the day?

[KONSPIRACY]

I think you'll need to register if you'd like to take part. Not sure what the situation is with spectators but dont think it'd be a problem...Barr2k will be able to confirm that though :cool:

[Renegade]

That's cool, I was hoping to either bring the Mrs or a mate, not sure which. Pheonix, you signing up or just coming to watch?

[Gaskin]

Renegade I'm going to BATTER you. :D

Sweden vs England rematch?

[Pheonix_Rising]

Not sure yet....

[BARR2K]

Spectators are fine

I will be having the area closed for the event only....

Spectators make the event more enjoyable :)

[Pheonix_Rising]

Will I have to sign up on PESRankings and PESFan to play?

I tried signing up on PESFan but someone already has my username :(

[KONSPIRACY]

You just need to register for the event on PES Rankings mate :cool:

[Renegade]

Even though you spelled Phoenix wrong?! Don't know why you want to bother with that over-moderated crap anyway, used to love PESFan but can't even stomach it now.

[BARR2K]

Pesfan has got alot better tbh

There are some very good mods on board that use common sense :)

[Renegade]

I don't know what it's been like in the month since I was banned, but there were too many mods along the lines of 'I have the power and Im determined to use it'.

Watson is an absolute joke of a mod, and basically punishes anyone that doesn't stick up for his friends there, YBNB was a quality member and became 'strange' soon as he had 'referee' written under his name (you can literally see when he is in a bad mood). Andio was excellent, JB1K was a legend, Adam was great, and I don't know about Durham Hatter or OldBoiler as I didn't see anything of them before I was removed.

Basically, if you're associated with PESRankings, an official of PESFan, or you name is Rob Mclean, you can get away with absolute murder with no repurcussions. If you're anyone else you're screwed if you so much as look over the line once. There are so many double standards there it's painful to see.

What made it apparent to me is that since I was banned, I received no less than 6 different emails from regular PESFanners mentioning an agenda against me from the very start. They didn't like me, and were waiting for the one opportunity to get rid of me. The thing is, it wasn't me that pointed it out - it was everyone else.

[KONSPIRACY]

@ renegade - please remain on topic mate.

Your entitled to your opinions but if you'd like to discuss PESfan mods or members, then please feel free to do so in PMs...or even speak to Matt on the 29th April @ Gamestation. Cheers :cool:

[Renegade]

Sorry :(

*unzips*

[Farrmark]

Just found out the Christening may be over by about 4, so I may head into Brum to catch up with the finalists and meet some Matchbox peeps :)

If anyone wants to talk to me about PESFan on the 29th feel free, if I make it there :D

[Renegade]

I might do Farrmark :p

Quick question - where is there to park near Gamestation, and what is the pricing to park like? Just want to make sure it's worth driving, or whether I should take the train.

[KONSPIRACY]

I'm thinkin the same thing renegade.

The closest would be the Pallasades, but theres loads of car parks nearby. It would prob be cheaper by train tbh, but I'll find out some pricing info n let you know asap :cool:

[Farrmark]

Train would be best IMO :)

However, the BullRing carpark is just as close, but on a Sunday there'll be plenty of free street parking available I think....

I definitely won't be there now, Christening is over in Oldbury and isn't going to finish until late evening :(

[KONSPIRACY]

Just spoke to Birmingham City Council and on street parking is free all day Sunday. Just make sure you go in the pay and display areas, and avoid the single or double yellow lines. Obviously read the meters in that area and see if there are any restrictions on time.

Alternatively you can expect to pay upto ?12 for either the Bullring or Pallasades car parks (Edgbaston Street is slightly cheaper at ?8 apparently).

[Renegade]

Street parking, wooooooo

[KONSPIRACY]

Yeah well its the cheaper option if travelling by car...blame NCP for what have recently been described as the "most expensive car parks in the country".

[BARR2K]

Free on steet parking on Sundays in Birmingham City Centre :)

[Gaskin]

Thus has been said. Teehee.

Still pretty sure I can go.. only to own Chris.

[KONSPIRACY]

You bully! :D

[Gaskin]

That would look funny, me bullying you. Ha!

[Renegade]

He's a softy really.

*unzips*

[Menace Red3]

[Renegade]

Want to meet you, ya swine ;)

[Menace Red3]

hehe yeah we was both at XL and in the PES tourny at XL and still i cant remember your face lol i can remember the name but not the face :) should be gd coming up.

[Renegade]

Who did you use at XL, and who was in ur group?

[Menace Red3]

i used Argentina and i dont kno but i didnt concede or lose in group stage:D :P

[Renegade]

Weren't you the only one to use Argentina? I remember you :p

I won every game in my group, then got knocked out to the guy that won it. The guy in 2nd was the player I played 1st and beat god dammit.

[Gaskin]

Yeah I drew 4-4 to the guy who came second which actually knocked me out. He was Brazil and I was Sweden. I plan on getting revenge with the mighty swede's!

[Renegade]

:D you goin' with Sweden again?

MINT!

[Renegade]

Just tried to get my England shirt printed with 'RENEGADE' for the event, but they hadn't got the England lettering in store :(

i had to wait ages to get names on back of some of my shirts:mad:

[NeoKubrick]

Just attended a PES Rankings offline event in Dublin (HMV Tour) on Friday. It was a good laugh, actually, but I'm growing a dislike of playing with international teams - the stats are too high. The games were too fast-paced, especially as condition was green and the games were only five minutes in length. Great event anyway, and some sound players too.

I've also noticed that HDTVs aren't up-to-scratch (the ones we used anyway). Yeah, excellent picture when it was static, but once that camera moves around, it's very blurry. I've always preferred a CRT monitor to play on: sharp picture and still produces a sharp picture while the camera is moving (cheaper in most cases too).


Good luck with the event.

[IcemanLeigh]

We (me and kHz Gaskin) Cannot find a train that will get us to birmingham new street any time before 11.26..

[Gaskin]

Good luck to all those attending. We'll be there about half 11, see you tomorrow!

[benandrews]

good event that was :) lost in the final :( but still a good day and nice meeting sme of you matchbox people :D

[Gaskin]

Yeah me, leigh and Ben were in the same group. They changed it from top 4 to top 2 progressing and I was tied and 2nd. Lost on goal difference, which is a bit annoying considering I beat the guy who came 2nd. Well played Ben, sad to hear you lost in the final.

Edit: Just found out the guy who came second in fact had 20 points and I had 18. He told me he had 18! I blame Ben for not beating him. ;)

[benandrews]

hehe im sorrrrrrrrry :(

[IcemanLeigh]

Yea great to meet you Ben. I am fairly pleased with a first match 2-2 result with you since you pretty much destroyed everyone else in the group. Definitely had fun, did enjoy the underdog nature of playing as England, and now I am practiced with them I am looking forward to the next event.

I was so tempted to use Portugal as well.. ;) If only they had a goal scorer.

[KONSPIRACY]

Good to meet a few heads down there today...props to Gaskin, Leigh, Renegade, Boffy, Ozzy, Barr2k, Ben and everyone else who attended for a great day (sorry I cant remember everyones names!). Was a good turn out with 40 PES players taking part and the standard of competition was particularly high. Thanks again to everyone attended and look forward to meeting you all again at XL! :cool:

[Goalatzio]

Ye well played lads its good seeing some new faces i think i only had konspiracy in my group though:(

[Menace Red3]

arhhh i wanted to attend but the concert was great human piramid for enter shikari :P i was on the bottom hehe and i was going to come up be4 the concert but i got up really late and was in birmingham for 2pm and concert had already started :( sorry boys where did u guys come? and who won?

[BreeZe]

Well played to all the lads that attended the event. It was nice to see some new faces. Ayzee won the event in the end.

[Renegade]

I only lost 3-1 to Ayzee in the group. :p

In all fairness, I had a huge feeling he would win - out of everyone there, apart from the guys from Matchbox he was the only one I had heard of. Funny thing was - when I started the game, I says 'Ayzee, I know you!' he says 'are you Renegade?' - I was like 'yeah man' so he says 'RenegadeDS? You're a PESFan legend!'.

I was like :D I know you!

Wicked day, bit annoyed by the change from 4 players to 2, but had a great laugh with Kon, Gaskin and Leigh, and was fully supporting Kon during his 7-0 thrashing from Holland :p

GAY BAG FTW!
