I just hope StewKer is ok. (I mean even if my computer blew up, I'd still have means of getting online and posting at least once in a day!) I also hope the Sponsors didn't just give money up-front! XD | ||

The tournament is being postponed due to several issues that are going on that are unfortunately unavoidable, and are not something that could have been planned for. I'm sure everyone will understand that. As the head administrator and the main organizer for the majority of the tournament functions, from corresponding with tournament sponsors, money prize transfers, to assisting the assistant admins with games, I do not feel comfortable having the tournament prior to the release of the game during the beta as scheduled and for things to go smoothly; as I'm sure everyone wants them too. It is only one day prior to the previously announced starting date, but I believe this is the right choice. The following is my situations so people know where I am coming from and what brought me to this decision. First and foremost my father was in an extreme motorcycle accident Wednesday evening (a lady turned left in front of him while he was going the opposite direction at 65 mph, the posted speedlimit) and had to be air-lifted to Salt Lake City from where we live (a distance of several hundred miles) due to the extent of his injuries. Which at the time were extremely life threatening (as of writing this, he has stabilized to a degree, thank god he's the toughest man I know). It's scary to hear people in the emergency throwing out taglines that you only hear in movies like "bleeding out" and "pulverized". SLC has the best specialists and ability to care for my what my father needs in the entire northwest United States and I feel like he is in good hands. Anyways after he was air-lifted, my family and I then immediately traveled to SLC the same evening driving straight through the night. I know that the week and a half prior has also had quite a bit of lack of communication as well, which was due to work and an issue with my computer and largely being unable to get online. I got back online Wednesday afternoon though after I was able to put things back together and replace my motherboard and other fried components. I fired off a twitter message to that effect that I was back online and would be getting things ready for the beginning of the tournament, but soon after that I got the phone call from my brother about my father. As of this post it is Saturday at 12am and I'm sitting in a hotel room, after getting no sleep since Wednesday morning. It's the first somewhat calm chance I have had to inform anyone of what is going on as we have been going a mile a minute, no sleep, since Wednesday evening. We stayed the night in the hospital on Thursday. But anyways just in conclusion and to reiterate as stated above, the Micro Macro 2 Tourney is to be postponed until a later date, likely a few weeks after release. I don't even expect to be leaving SLC for at least 2 weeks and as far as when my father is able to leave... we really don't know yet, it could be much longer than any of us would like to think about, especially when you consider the amounts of rehab he is looking at. Everyone have a good time playing the second phase of beta, but MM2 will not be apart of that, look for us after release. We hope to have many of the planned participants and announced sponsors returning when we do. I'll be doing my best to get to outstanding PMs but I have no real timeline, as I said I'm really busy atm. Both with my father and basically my having to take over his business while he's unable to do anything. As I get time , I'll likely be continuing to give updates about my status in a blog here on TL. Tournament sponsors, should be hearing from me as soon as possible. Thank you, Stew (Jake) | ||

XD I was concerned about StewKer's well-being. I didn't want to assume something bad happened. Turned out that something bad did, in fact, happen but how was I supposed to know? Stew, hang in there, bro! I hope your dad recovers very soon. We'll patiently wait for the updates in your blog. | ||
