Europe 2008

[Erik]

I don't know what you got 2.5 years from but the way I prepare is totally irrelevant. The fact is that I always have and take one year between each competition to prepare, how and why is my business.

 

[Inusagi]

If you can't say clearly why and how, then evrybody gonna say that you're afraid to not come to the top 3. There's nothing to prepare for. I think you just found up this story...

 

[Erik]

Please stop it, you are trying to push me, don't call me a liar or someone who thinks up stories. Again, you don't know how I prepare for things so stay out of it. You can't say things about stuff you can't know, everybody is different in his/her way of preparing.
These posts of you seem nothing more to me than a childish attempt to let me say stupid things, I'll not react to those anymore. It's ridicilous.

So... Why do ALL the fast europeans think the same as Erik ?? They are all afraid to be out of the top3 ??
LOL ....

if you want a change in the WCA way of doing things, this discussion would be on the WCA forum, but I didn't see any posts about that (when I looked yesterday) since 2007

It's obvious imho that if you request the WCA to change something you ask it on the official place and not on a forum which most people don't check. I'm not directing you to it, nor do I give you a order to post it there. It's just the way it should be done.

[side note] no I don't consider that old WCA forum chat as a real debate since there are probably 10x more posts in this one (plus this one is recent and not outdated)...

By the time we get around to discussing 2009, this thread will be just as old as the "old" WCA thread. Seriously, you're telling people they should have these discussions in the WCA forum, but then you say it's not valid since more people post here? :rolleyes:

Well, I think you are. You can easily go to the top 3 if it were close, but if it's open, then it's harder for you. Erik also mentioned that his goals were getting top 3 at most of the events in one of his thread, but now his plan changed. So he is very happy if he could do this, but now thats harder.

Please stop it, you are trying to push me, don't call me a liar or someone who thinks up stories. Again, you don't know how I prepare for things so stay out of it. You can't say things about stuff you can't know, everybody is different in his/her way of preparing.

I don't really understand what you meant with push, but could you mention 1 method of "preparing" that takes longer time then 4-5 months? It must not be your way, but could be any way of "prepation", so I just get an idea of how "prepation" works. And if they changed it to an open after this competition, then there would probably be another angry faces, that would say that theyr way prepation is taking 4 years, then when are they going to change it?

For the Wca, your meaning is more childish. And I don't try to push you (Whatever you ment with it).

If you say that the only reason to change it is to let you be prepared, and you don't even tell us what you mean with prepare, then it should be open.

You'll not react on my posts anymore? Is it because I came up with a sort of point you just can't refuse?

 

[Erik]

Isn't it logical.... if there is one year between competitions you take one year of preparation, if there is 2 years you take 2 years of preparation, if it's 3 days between you'll do a 3 day preparation...
This is my last post, I'm wasting my time here.

 

[Inusagi]

If that's your last post, then it'll probably be an open. And by the way, I didn't ask about how LONG a prepation takes, but WHAT is a prepation in this case.

 

[Rama]

If that's your last post, then it'll probably be an open.

Say what!?

 

[Inusagi]

What do you mean?

 

[Rama]

What do you mean?

It's Erik's last post, so you think it's probably an open.
Could you explain it to people what you mean by that.

 

[Inusagi]

He's probably the strongest anti-open guy in this thread. If he's giving up, then there would probably be an open. Like the black king dies in chess.

Did you really think WCA and the organisation team would revise an already taken decision just because not everyone is happy with this decision?
Registration has already openend for everybody 5 days ago.

yeah, this competition is beyond debate, it sounds as though it will be open without a doubt. and the organization team in confident they made the correct decsion. there will (probably) be some closed competitions before the end of the year for some, but the i'm sure we'll be able to continue this topic with more detail (if that's even possible - lol ) in nov/dec.
