Taking awayy the already stated fact that any method in which funds are "purposely generated" for the game has been disapproved; TMyApp has already stated that there will be the no official tournaments in a good while for good reason.

Reasons that would make perfect logical sense if most of the people here were over 15. Sadly, most of the people playing the game are between 7 - 14; therefore it's best to take the final say. NO Official tournaments :biggrin:

Nowback to the money issue. That just doesn't sit well with anyone else in this communiy for the main reason that it'll GAIN money. The whole purpose of this project as stated a couple of times is to make a game free for the mass. Anyone who has a connection to the internet being able to play the game for free without hassle. And it'll stay that wayy.

If there's a melt down and TMyApp needs money (which I doubt anytime soon).. then there are other ways he'll get it.. rather than "from this game". Donations like that only bring more unneeded attention to this game by big companies.. a la marve|.. and even though you just put that aside as being one of the side problems... it IS actually the biggest problem this game would ever face.

How to explain to all of you that the purpose of the game isn't to generate funds for either TMyApp OR SFO.. in any 'reasonable' sense known to mankind. Ergo... even though you might THINK it is for good reason, nothing good would ever come out from it... trust me, I had to learn that in a 25 paragraph epistle from TMyApp himself :biggrin:

So until there's a basic change in the clockwork settings of SFO and a bit of maturity noticed by "us" in it's users, we'll have to keep things the wayy they are as far as tournaments go. Large scale unofficial tournaments can be held anytime though... but the word "official" is pushing it for this moment.

And even if there was one, the grand prize would definitely not be cash because a good number of people in this game do not have credit/debit cards. If they won, how would their prize(s) be sent to them ??

So there you have it :biggrin:
