Looky! I gots a e-mail!

Well, if G4 still insists we go through them, and they're not taking entries, then that means no Americans in SASUKE 24, which means no Levi or Brian, which will make Japanese viewers angry. TBS can't afford to let Levi or anyone else for that matter slip away so they must be collecting entries. Then again, G4 could choose to take Levi only if they really wanted to.

Well, maybe someone can get lucky talking to someone through G4. Arsenette has been getting lucky talking to Allison lately, and I know some of us have a few of the G4 people on Facebook.

Wow this is monumentally confusing. A couple thoughts in general. Just because you didn't get an email doesn't mean they didn't get it. M9 is extremely uneven when it comes to writing back. If we all remember the confusion when this whole thing started.. it was first "No .. no one will go through to Sasuke without G4 and we aren't doing ANW. Then Yes send it to M9 and TBS/M9 and G4 are picking.. now it's We sent it back to G4 wait for them to contact you. Gah.. make up their friggin' minds..

Another thing - G4 is already in contact with a few of the previous ANW people in general even from the whole confusion process.. so just because M9 hasn't directly contacted you doesn't mean G4 doesn't know you are there.. It's not like G4 provided an address to send to anyway so I wouldn't fret just yet. Ya'll with G4 contacts.. call them, email, harass them. Running out of time and this confusion crap is certainly not helping.

Another thing as well Oti has been emailing, which is a good thing! So maybe they finally got their crap together and started responding to those who have been patiently emailing them about the status of the application. Sucks it took them until just over a week to go to tell people that they are sending the USA application crap back to the USA for G4 to wrap their brains around. If that's the case.. I'm not exactly happy about this news.. if G4 is handling 100% of the invites.. anyone under 21 is royally screwed We were hoping M9/TBS were actually picking allowing the under 21 crowd to enter.

P.S. Oh the information on Michael Milner. He originally got an email saying if he was still interested in coming and if so please fill out this questionnaire thing. They never told him thanks for applying but no. The second email was "thanks for the questionnaire and yes we have space" and that was exactly 1 week to taping.

This whole issue is so confusing to the point that it almost makes me wish Sasuke 24 would be shown in March as usual, and not within the next month in a half.

No it doesn't. They would send Levi/Brian/David/Whoever without a trial/contest first, that's all.

Back when I actually read your blog, Arsenette, Michael said the initial response wasn't promising. That's why I assumed they turned him down.

Rereading the e-mail now... yeah. It does sound like they're giving it to G4. This blows.

[arsenette]

Still keep hope. We don't know anything yet.. which of course is highly frustrating.. seems G4 f*^%&ed this up again.. /sigh Still.. we don't know so keep hopes up. Might try emailing G4 to figure wtf is going on. MAN this is frustrating... sucks we have to pay for G4 being shortsighted and caught unprepared. Still.. this is the best chance the under 21 crowd has to ever going so it's not dead yet.

Congrats Oti on at least getting an email! What video did you send them?

[Oti]

An old one from February.

[artyfowljr]

Well, even if it's so confusing, getting something back is a good thing! Hope it means something good for you!

[Oti]

I do too. I love spending thousands of dollars QUICKLY!

If you get to go to Sasuke Oti, give me your autograph.

Better yet, make a poster with all the forum member's usernames on it and hold it up on the First Stage starting line ;D

(Make jfeathe EXTRA big!!)

[Oti]

Cause I totally loves everyone here!

[jfeathe]

If you do, I'll give you a shiny new dime to help you get to Japan.

Enticing, isn't it?

[Oti]

Not in the least, no.

[rcplanes59]

At least write down all the competitor's results and take some tapes so we don't have to research cut runs.

[Oti]

I wouldn't catch all their names. I'd most likely record some.

[yamfriend]

Wish the best of luck to you Oti in getting to Japan for Sasuke 24. Hopefully, you'll do well if this does indeed happen.

As for the rest of you who sent in videos, let the same be true. ;D

I wish I could say the same. Most of my money is disappearing quickly because of college

But I hope you get there Oti, you would make everyone on here very, VERY proud of you.

Unless you fail the Jumping Spider. Then scnoi would have to ban you

Seriously, just getting there would be a huge accomplishment.
