"What a long, strange trip its been"

- Every goddamned high school graduation motto

Its been a hell of a ride these past... oh God... 6 months . We've had our ups and our downs but I think in the end we all had fun (except Torque j/k). Even without a real "final" I couldn't have been happier about the way the league went. We moved along at a good, brisk pace but gave everyone enough time to put together some memorable stunts. To be honest, there were times when I was concerned I had gotten in over my head. My first concern was how the hell am I going to manage 48 (later 50) people in this league and keep order? Other concerns followed dealing with match postponements, forum downtime, me going on vacation. But in the end everything worked out for the best.

So I guess this is the time for me to step aside and see if anyone else wants to take the reigns of the 4th Reincarnation of the GTASL. My advice to that lucky individual is:

1) Don't let anyone push you around
2) Don't be afraid to delegate responsibility
3) Trust your feelings
4) Don't be afraid to admit your mistakes
5) Don't let anyone push you around
6) Be firm in your decisions
7) Treat everyone with respect

Don't be afraid to ask for help
9) Don't let anyone push you around

I would love to help out on the next league but the title of "Overseer" stays with me

Once again, thanks to everyone who participated, judged or simply watched and I hope the next one is even better! I guess we can open this topic up to any final thoughts from you guys. Keep it civil and clean, any flaming and i'll start deleting posts and let the admins/mods deal with you further.

Once again, great job running this NoAPOlogies, it was fun.

NoAP you douche. The first topic I look at after coming back from Sea World and this is handed to me.

To be honest I had a lot of fun in the league, I did stunts that I would've probably never thought about or have done if I wasn't put in those case scenarios (i.e. the caddy grind, admiral bump, car combo) I really enjoyed being in the league and was glad to see that the winner was someone deserving. Awesome job on running the league NoAP, it's been the best one at GTAS yet. I really liked the bracket layout and how everything went smoothly. The no shows were kinda lame but you really can't blame some people. The judges did a great job, I loved reading through their reactions on each stunter's stunt and it was a splendid ordeal to come by. I really like how you put forth a list for the up and coming GTASL runner, I'm sure their bound to help out. The only thing I was kinda surprised to see was that Daffy didn't get the rightful recognition that he had deserved, I would've liked to see some sort of topic like the one I made for the end of SL2; here.

This league was a great experience for me as a stunter and a member of these forums and I hope others will have just as much fun in the next league that I had in this one.

Cheers

If you think about it, the real final was demonfade vs. daffy.

I guess I could have saved my overall end-of-the-comp post for this thread but it appears I went too early .

Its been fun guys! Once again, amazing job NoAP, and congrat's Daffy on the win.

I thought Daffy was going to edit the GTASL 3 video.

NoAPOlogies · « **Reply #7 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:28:57 PM »

Direct all GTASL3 vid questions to Dannye, he's saving the stunts and will send them off to someone to edit the vid.

Although I didn't think far enough ahead to get people's skin's and stuff, so thats gonna be another task the editor will have to deal with.
Good luck to whoever wants to take on the project!

I still have a bunch of skins, MSN me sometime and i'll get them to you.

i think it turned out great, even without a real final match. NoA, you did a truly awesome job organizing the whole thing! thanks for letting me be a judge, and thanks to all other judges, it was really interesting, tho pretty hard. also thanks to all of the participants, who showed some amazing skills and presented us such a beautiful battles.

Can't say much but big thanks to all the judges and more importantly NoAPOlogies. Also, Congrats to Daffy on 4 freakin amazing stunts and all the other competiters.

Good Job NoApo. And everyone.

That doesn't mean that this one was bad.

Short what i say but thats all.

Was disappointed quite a bit at the amount of people dropping out, but the fact that NoAPOlogies and co. still managed to keep it running smoothly with people delaying and no-showing only goes to show the work and organisation put into this. Really good work.
