I didn't find it at all difficult to change my XBox360 name to Xaqqary. Yes, that was a shameless plug to get you to add me, Kyle. :P So, to get this straight, playing team heroes does nothing for this challenge. It's only through the tournament. That is what I assume, but, you know, clarity. Reply #23. Jan 25 13, 1:34 PM |

Beware. He'll bombard you with requests to play 'Minecraft'. I assume. I haven't experienced it myself. I've got the excuse that my Xbox is in a shipping container for the moment. ;) Reply #25. Jan 25 13, 6:30 PM |

Kyle? I have a couple of questions, and I'm not seeing them answered here, so far. First, my team, Tesla Coil, is small but mighty! Officially, we have 16 members, with 14 active last month. Along with being mighty, we are also really diverse, with teammates from all over the world, and playing here and there, but not necessarily everywhere, so "active" may mean "only plays KO" -- you get the idea. With a small team, it could be possible that only 5 players register for this. I know how Heroes works -- I love Heroes! But, for smaller teams, couldn't that put them at a greater disadvantage? All five players would have to play, and those scores would be much more like TvT, where every score would definitely count and could/would put the team at risk that day. This is not a whining complaint! I swear it, it is not! I don't whine! I'm just askin'... Also? If someone like, oh, say, me was a registered and active member of FT, couldn't I just register with you right here? If I told you I was me, and would be using this name, you could surely find me right here if you needed to, couldn't you? And once someone like, oh, say, me was registered to play, you would have my username and could easily identify me in your tournament, if it is run like any other private/public tournament. You could absolutely see that I was, indeed, me after I played the first time, and there could only be one "me". IP numbers would guarantee that. Would you mind answering these two questions for, oh, say, me and I will pass it along to my team. I know there is a time crunch, and we are definitely talking about this, and we need to decide fairly quickly if we are in or out. Thank you so much! ~Elle Reply #32. Jan 27 13, 2:49 AM |

I don't do Facebook but I had my wife sign me, up now I don't know if I'm signed up or even if I'm on the right team. Is there a link to check your status. Reply #38. Jan 28 13, 9:42 PM |

Can two 'low' represented teams choose to join together? In other words, a team w/ 7 registered and a team w/ 5 registered - could they play together as a "team" of 12? This would somewhat ease the pressure of teams with barely the minimum, in case a player or two can't (or forgets to) play on a day. Just a thought. Maybe if that's too complicated for the first month of this, and you continue it - then it could be thought about as an option. Reply #39. Jan 28 13, 10:44 PM |
