Thanks for posting that because it supports my point.

SWY isn't going to win this tournament because he only plays what he likes. Best to avoid his hedonistic ways and embrace what comes difficult to you.

I decided to create my own team, welcome to Kosmos. As an absolute newbie I would like to invite fellow newcomers to the genre or people who just tackled it casually every once in a while. We can help each other out, keeping us motivated throughout the tournament and beyond.
But really, if anyone feels like joining, drop me an PM, even if you're a veteran.

if you're that concerned with fun you will never be able to accomplish much, and even in a "fun" game you are still going to lose to the guy who keeps going when it stops being fun
Probably because most people aren't playing to win as much as they are playing for the sense that for once there's actually a bunch of others playing the same game. That said, bonding over jank kusoge is arguably the best kind of bonding.

My skull has adequately served its purpose of shielding my brainmeats and giving my ugly mug some sort of shape for the past 34.75 years.

Gonna have to cancel my registration, this is starting later than I thought, doesn't look like I'll have enough time to play at a worthwhile level after all.

Updated website and registration post. If anything is incorrect, please let me know!

So that I don't miss anything, please post registration changes (new registrations, new teams, joining a team) after this post, instead of editing an old one.

You have 3 weeks left!

Are we required to play at a certain level?
I thought the point was having some fun, as my skills are not on the same level of most players here.
