Initial D 8 was the second highest income game in the whole arcade, so they should keep it maintained. Even if they didn't, the tournament should have shown them that there's reason to. |

Been hoping to make a card but they've been out of stock for some reason. Or it hasn't been working. Does anyone have a blank for sale? Located in San Jose area. Thanks!

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 40 Member No.: 45,957 Joined: Oct 14th 2015 Location: Update Profile | Hey guys, been a while since I looked back on this, I didn't even know people would even still pay attention to this topic haha. Ever since the tournament I haven't honestly played a lot of Initial D if not ANY. I've just been doing school and other things that interest me at the moment. I still like Initial D a lot, i just felt burned out i guess. Anyways, I had a few people already asking me besides the forum posts if there is going to be another tournament soon. I honestly didn't have any plans to host another tournament soon, but if everyone's down, then how can I resist? If I do, it'll probably be a month or two from now. So somethings I need to know from you guys, 1) Schedule-wise, when are the best times to host these? (for you guys) (Month wise and day) March, April, may? Last time I had to push the date back and forth before an official date because some people were on vacation, or they had exams. Couldn't satisfy everyone so I did my best. 2) Feed back (more for the people who went to tourney), everyone said they had fun, but I know we ran into some problems along the way. Do you guys have anything to say, if say you had a problem with or maybe liked something with the first tournament? 3) Rule-set, the first rule-set was made so that it was more casual. I forced boost ON because: a.) No one likes someone getting stomped with a 600m disadvantage, it's boring b.) Not everyone knows every map, so this kinda (sortaaa) leveled things out. c.) It's entertaining! You see people actually passing each other up, even some last second business right before the finish line. d.) Random map selection, it was really hard to get this to even go smoothly. It sucked having so people only play one round until semi finals where it became (best two out of three). Boost helped with the unlucky map picks for certain people. (going back to b.) Did you guys like these rules? Any ideas to change it up? Let me know please. I just need to know these things before I go ahead and contact the arcade manager for an idea to host another tournament , with the input I hope I can polish some issues we had previously so things can be more enjoyable and run smoother. Hopefully with the assistance of Round 1, if not hosted by Round 1, it can be a more exciting experience for all of us! (And I can focus on playing !) |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 40 Member No.: 45,957 Joined: Oct 14th 2015 Location: Update Profile | Sorry for lack of updates. Finishing up school while being caught up with work. So anyways, I sent the Amusement-Manager an email expressing my interest to work with them for an official ID tournament. They replied back showing eagerness for such an event and requested that I send them a proposal. I made a proposal with the rule set but couldn't answer some of the questions they asked me due to lack of information.( eg. Can we make the games free, can we move the machines, how much time to host the entire event ). With me asking those questions for them to answer, they have yet to reply. It's been about 8-9 days now without a response. If anything, ill contact the head manager, but if I get no response, then I won't go any further bothering them. I really do want to host (or help host) another Initial D tournament. It's fun playing with everyone, but if they don't even bother replying then I wont either. If anything, if you already haven't heard, there's also going to be a tournament in Sunnyvale Golfland with the help of AXEL. I'm looking forward to this event. For now i'll just be on stand-by for R1, but it's good knowing there is another tournament in the works. I'll try to keep you guys updated |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 15 Member No.: 46,575 Joined: Jun 12th 2016 Location: Update Profile | Sup round 1 San Jose initial d 8 drivers! Just got done at round 1 and to my great disappointment they ran out of cards. I would like to ask everyone if they know where I can purchase a card? or if anyone is selling a card? or if round 1 ever re-fills the machine with cards? Thanks! I super want to play but dont want to spend money if im not tuning a car. Kind of a waste. Yup. and I'd be super up on attending tournaments and or having session once or twice a month. I'm from the concord area (there getting a round 1 soon!) But im cool with driving to san jose once or twice a month to race and practice with everyone. |

Round 1 also restocks cards time to time. Come play with us! We love new players . I should give Concord a visit when it opens! If you ever wanna play with us, just let us know ahead of time haha. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 15 Member No.: 46,575 Joined: Jun 12th 2016 Location: Update Profile | Today I went to Sunnyvale golf land. To my luck it was unlimited arcade mania or whatever they call it. So that means they take the cards out. I was desperate for a card so I asked management if they can just pull a few strings and put a few cards in so I can purchase 3. I concvinced them! They put the cards in! While I was purchasing the cards an error showed up and I ended up not getting them! Shit outta luck. Hopefully they still have cards the next time I go. These cards are selling like hot cakes! Sucks. I might try and head there Friday after work. edit: I'll actually be at golfland monday morning right when they open. Hopefully no arcade mania so I can purchase my cards and be done with that. This post has been edited by Spartan_Ace on Jun 15 2016, 08:14 PM |
