Ok... Seriously, extremely humble question here: can you really make 18k selling Hockey Cards? oO

I know Canada is crazy about Hockey, but what the hell...

So I felt the need to google it and apparently you can sell one single mother fucking card of Taylor Hall, whoever this fellow is, for $849.

What. The. Fuck.

You can sell 1 card of Bobby Orr for $8k
You can sell 1 card of Wayne Gretzky for $2k

Taylor Hall isn't even the biggest star in Hockey... (first draft of a couple years ago... Should have been second drafted though imo).

What else would be providing my identification except my ID? Would a student pass be enough?

o_o, I don't quite understand what you mean, generally people here have 3-4 forms of identification if not more. Student pass isn't very reliable, but may be accepted in some cases. Drivers license/passport pictures are obviously the best for legitimacy.


In Germany you only have to have your ID. Divers license and passport at the same time are not that neccessary if you don't plan to leave the European Union in most cases.

I'm wondering if you're even allowed to ask for such kind of information in the open as private person. I also seemed to have missed your remarks about the police records: almost no employer in Germany is allowed to ask for documents like this. The first and foremost purpose of these records is not to provide private companies with information, but to help the justice system. In many cases you are even allowed to lie about criminal history in application/interviews. That is, if those don't have influence on your actual position later - if you're gonna be a teacher or custodian to handicapped people, you will need a clean record and a forced to answer/hand out info; doesn't matter in most other other jobs though. Brings me back to the question: WHY?

You clearly won't employ people. This smells rotten.

I wonder how much me and my brother's (okum) old collection of hockey cards is worth. There are some kinda rare cards in there.

personally I don't have a driver's license (no money/need for it) and as Gecko said, a passport isn't required within the EU, i don't even know where I have mine, I think the last time it was used was like 10 years ago anyway. All I have is my ID and my bank/insurance cards and my student ID

i just remembered, the insurance cards also have pictures since last year anyway.

So many people have asked and I've yet to see this question answered, what is the point of the criminal background check? It's not like they do a criminal background check at any other tournament like MLG, WCG, DreamHack, ect...Care to elaborate? What if you had misdemeanor ? What if you had felony's ? Can't play? -.-;;

Yeah, it's kind of unfair. People like me with an extensive police record for various criminal activities are being discriminated against. I mean, I gave up my gangster ways, what with sling rock and doing drive-bys to smoke putos from the 88th Street Gang who be all up in our click.

for the paid qualifiers, are you going to pay the winning players at the end of each qualifier in cash or are you just promising that you'll pay for their trip to prague?

Ah, that's understandable. Special circumstances will be made in these cases. Let me know in an e-mail what you can provide if this applies to you.

When I talk about criminal record checks and say employers require it, that is from my experience in Canada. These things aren't really hard to get for most people, realistically, everyone's should say the same thing. And, indeed, you can ask for any info you want, others have the right to refuse. Though I think laws say that you can't demand someone's social insurance/security number (at least in canada) and deny them if they don't provide it.

It makes even less sense if you ask for something you assume to know already. Why dodge all these questions? Just make one post and sum them up instead of doing one post after the other.

It does make sense, because exceptions need to be excluded, there's nothing more important on my priority list of a LAN that everyone is safe when they go there.

I'm not dodging, I will continue to answer every question no matter how important or unimportant.

I will compile FAQ once I have time, however, that doesn't make end to questions, there are always more questions people will ask, thus, the point you make is moot.

Everyone will be in the internet cafe, in Prague. Then somebody will come in from outside saying "Guys, Sziky has arrived, come say hello!". We all rush outside and everyone's clustered around the door like probes at a wallin, but Sziky's nowhere in sight... So a few people drill back to their PCs, whilst a few stay out there in case he arrives. Suddenly, he dashes round the corner with Sziky speed upgraded, and though the people at the door are trying to block his way to shake his hand etc, he's in, and he's beating everyone else in there at once. By the time the outsiders make it back in, those who were holding the fort back home are defeated, and Sziky only has to mop up the survivors before GG-ing the tournament in record time.

Sziky LAN runby incoming.

He only assassinates the competition. But not literally. He'll just walk through the door of the tournament, and say "Sorry guys I'm late, I was at a ceremony receiving the key to the city of Budapest from the Mayor, but now that I'm here, do you all want to play, or can I just have my 18,000 dollars right now?"
