The Guru Contest Sign-Ups
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75282412

In the past, the Oracle Challenge (a different but equally awesome Board 8 contest) winner received a free game from one of that contest's hosts. I wanted to do the same to build up hype for the Guru Contest, which has always been this board's most popular contest tradition.

It wasn't mentioned in the original topic above, so I wanted to let you guys know and hopefully really drive up participation.

Simply submit your bracket in the Guru Contest topic above to enter. If you win, I will email you a $60 Amazon gift card.*

*If I win the contest, the $60 will go to whoever finishes in second place. Everyone aside from me is eligible to win.

So please sign up, participate, and have fun!

He did box arts for the first two rounds in 2015, but we had user made pics beyond that.

Then if we're not given any info in the next five days, I'll assume the exact same thing happens for this contest. It makes the most sense as well, given we're expecting the switch to one match a day after Round 2.

And Allen has still not said anything about match pics, which means we'll probably get something like what's on the pick-em page right now (two box arts and a short list of games) for at LEAST Round 1. My guess is that he'll do things that way for Round 1 and 2 and allow us to make match pics for the last seven matches, when it really matters.

But that's all speculation.

Yeah, Wildcard (4), Round One (16), and Round Two (8) total to 28 matches. Two per day means we get them done in 14 days. There are only seven matches left after that, which jives perfectly with the 3-week duration of this contest.

Gonna be quick!

That's one guy, though. I remember an episode of Penn & Teller's old Bullshit show where they talked to a black dude who carried a Confederate flag around all day, but are these just isolated incidents, or is it somewhat common to see it?

I've always heard that the Confederate flag was a symbol of pain for black Southerners (if not black Americans in general). And like... if that's the case, I never understood the point of flying it. Seems insensitive.

Do a lot of black people in the South fly the confederate flag? Many (most? almost all?) black people in the South have had a heritage there just as long as white Southerners.

The NBA needs some post-LeBron superstars in the Eastern conference. The West seems stacked with well-known guys, but as a casual fan, I don't really know a single guy in the East outside LeBron. I've heard about Isaiah Thomas and thought "when did I step in this time machine."

I feel like there's entitlement implied if you consider women "silently deciding to not date you" to be a societal problem that can be fixed rather than just women being allowed to not date people they don't wanna date.

It's not a societal problem; I never claimed that, and if you feel I implied that, then woops. It's a problem only for the man affected by it, and even then, it's only a problem if that man gives a shit.

Women have a right to refuse advances from any man they wish without being judged for it.

See: the entire ridiculous idea of "revoking a man card."

That whole situation is nothing but men working against men for the worsening of men.


I agree with you here. Even though men are more likely to shit talk each other, I certainly don't like it and make every effort to refrain from that behavior myself. When men are jockeying to be the top dog with idiotic posturing, it makes for an uncomfortable, weird situation for everyone else just trying to enjoy themselves.

If you are a man, who is more likely to s***-talk you for being a "p****?" A woman, or another man?

Another man is way more likely to talk shit, but a woman is more likely to silently observe cowardly behavior and then refuse ever getting romantically involved with you because of it - and that's a much bigger deal.

I generally agree with what you're saying, DK, however

Metal_DK posted...
Most well off women, when given the choice, choose to be single and alone than with a low income/uneducated man

I'm not sure about this. I know plenty of educated, white-collar women who have dated men "beneath their professional status," or however you'd like to phrase it. Women with degrees and professional certifications dating dudes who work at dry cleaners. To the credit of your argument, these women often don't seem thrilled to be with the types of men that they're with, but when given the choice between a lower-status man and loneliness, I feel that most women will cling to the man, even if he isn't ideal.

A woman wants a partner more than a man does. A lonely man can still get sex - creeping for one night stands, paying for it, using porn - whatever. They may not be ideal solutions to him, but they'll help him get by. A lonely woman just doesn't have those same options because she isn't looking for the same things. That's why women - even lawyers and doctors - will eventually LOCK IT IN.

Yeah, it does sound like your friend has some anxieties he needs to get over. I bet if he would have just shown up 2 hours late, he may have avoided getting fired - and he probably realizes that deep down but couldn't bring himself to endure the direct confrontation with his boss.

I feel for him, but he needs to really get over that if he wants a a shot at real professional success.

Going for 2001 for the upset. Feel like that's got the best marks for diversity.

I don't think this is a bad move because people are sleeping on the potential Melee rally, which I think is the most likely one of all. Undertale fans rallied their game like three months after release when it was the hyped new thing. Melee fans rallied their 15-year-old game over two classic RPGs because they're still as rabid as ever. Seems to me like Melee madness is way more likely to repeat itself.

But yeah, it won't win due to diversity. Smash rallies or nothing.
