You were right, V.

EDIT: you wouldn't happen to want to take over a small piece of Africa, would you?

Based on your posts so far, new guy, I have some questions for you...

  • What does a professional gamer do in his/her free time?
  • Who sponsors the gaming tournaments now?
  • What do you want for your 11th birthday?
  • What is your first language?

I'm productive enough.

I come here to be anti-productive.

I'm anti-productive BECAUSE I come here. :(

  • Who sponsors the gaming tournaments now?
  • What do you want for your 11th birthday?
  • What is your first language?

is there really the need for an introduction at this point  :roll:

1. Well a lot of Proffesional gamers are in their low 20s, so a lot of them are still in college.
I'm in college myself and I still play or watch my gameplay for about 8 hours a day.
Others play 4 hours a day. And it changes by seasons.
Some actually work. play sports. Sothere's a lot of different things

2. Well MLG itself is sponsored by ESPN, Dr. Pepper, Ballpark, Stride, Old Spice, Gamestop,
and a few others. The teams that are sponsored to play in the League are names like Statefarms,
redbull, other energy drinks, webservices, gaming clans who donate to a specific team out of their branch.
and If you take a look at the Dr. Pepper website, you'll see a link to an MLG page on the homepage.
Also, the season is right about to start up again, so we'll be seeing A LOT of new faces coming in.

3. I'm 19. And I don't celebrate my Bday anymore,
but my friends seem to enjoy doing that -_-

4. english.

And wunderkind you said that you're also productive enough =(
Isn't that satisfactory?

Are you sure you don't want to turn a small area of Africa into your own country?

He/she/it called me 'princess' and thought that was some kind of insult. I have to admit I was chuckling a bit at that. There may be a dim glimmer of hope in there yet.

You're waiting for someone interesting to post?  Well here I am!!!

So there was some weird noise outside the window today.  I told the students it was a spaceship.  I told the kid in the first row that they were coming to take him....back.

So...I totally forgot to wear green today and was gang pinched as a result.

I bet you "forget" to wear green every year.


Anyway, Marjoram, I don't know anything about pro-gaming.  I'm too busy being a pro-educator (I think that's the exact opposite) to busy myself with games.

If I actually got an intelligent answer from this forum then
maybe i would have been interested in legit joining.
Maybe if there was an interesting group of people here
that I would like, I'd come here more often.
