Oh so because I said "no chance" people are going to believe me? Nobody gives 2 sh*ts about what I have to post. Now maybe you need to be careful with what you post but if I feel like I can make a bold prediction, I'm going to do it and not really care about the consequences even if it results in me getting into an argument with the most beloved person on the forum.

So, we can expect... a mid July taping date I seriously doubt they would do Sasuke in mid-July. July 13th-15th is Obon, at least in the Tokyo area. Obon is pretty important in Japan. I doubt they would do Sasuke during or around Obon. O-Bon can be celebrated in either July or August depending on what part of the country you are in but the actual nationwide summer Bon holiday is in August.

I'd make fun of you but I don't want to make it personal..... You're not her lackey, you don't have to do what she says.... I'm the official pic guy, I usually help people with pics, no one made me post it but me. I just say if you're going t to say something why not have proof, just because you say you're right doesn't mean you are, that's just being an a** (No offense, but saying you don't know but you're right sounds very arrogant)

People need to learn how to read. She said I said I was right. I said I could be right. Now post a facepalm of yourself for not reading before posting which by the way is one of your masters' pet peeves. Isn't that right?

You strongly implied it, and your wording backed up that was what you were trying to say...

And this whole mess was because I did the mistaking of praying that TBS aired before NBC's coverage. So far as I'm concerned the rest is speculation and doesn't belong in this thread. We have enough speculation threads and are hoping to avoid spreading rumors about stuff we just don't know about. No one is "right" about anything that hasn't happened or even been formally announced if you want to "call" something put that on the speculation threads. There's plenty of space there.

I said and I quote: Just because I don't know, doesn't mean I'm not right. *You couldn't hear the tone of my voice in my head making this implication.*
I should have said so everyone could understand: Just because I don't know, doesn't necessarily mean I'm not right.
*Sigh* Example.....
Fact: We know the sun rises in the morning
I say: I'm going to see the sun rise in the morning
^Speculation but could be right if I do indeed see the sun rise in the morning.
Now if I happen to wake up early enough or not go to sleep and decide to go outside, I'll see the sun rise in the morning. Under these circumstances I was in fact right.
Just because I don't know when Sasuke will air in Japan doesn't necessarily mean I'm wrong saying ANW3 finale will air before Sasuke in Japan. Are you happy politically correct people? Is that a no? Yea this will keep going until I say I was wrong because Arsenette is always right.

Everyone around here knows I'm wrong a lot. The point of trying to keep speculation out of the equation is that we are in page 7 of a document where people want to know the "news" not another speculation thread. Feel free to start a thread about when the TBS thing will air.. and no I'm not being facetious about it. Trying to keep fact from speculation from going wild. This happens ALL the time during the off season. People stop reading when the bitching starts about things that aren't even official. See the point? We don't know. Speculation belongs in another thread.

Robby stop flaming in this thread, you've stated your opinion, don't need to state it again in 7 posts. You think one thing, arsenette thinks another. I'm not siding with either of you but saying SASUKE will air in Japan after ANW, is very unrealistic especially if TBS knows the date. TBS isn't gonna have Americans know the results of top competitors before it even airs there.

.. though.. that's already happened... ANW guys results in Sasuke 26 aired on G4 a full 2 weeks before the official TBS airing.. so there's already precedent there.

lol guys. This is getting a little far. I think we should all turn to what we know... and that is virtually nothing at this point. So instead of getting caught up on dates, let's get caught up in competitor predictions!! How about that Iketani huh??!

Everyone around here knows I'm wrong a lot. Who the hell says that? And yeah, I really hope Sasuke 27 airs before ANW 3 does on NBC... only because I like to have one dose of Sasuke, and not have it spread out like 26 was.

Well so far in terms of this thread we do know one major thing. G4 and NBC are doing their damnedest to make ANW 3 into a huge thing.. shame they didn't spare any money for the course.. from all stories the production for this was the worst ever.. That said they are going to major media to promote the living hell out of this event. Shame they won't be showing the rest of the 90 competitors.. Still, a 1 hour preview (most likely recaps of Semi's and boot of what was shown during the month leading up to it on G4) and a full 2 hours on major network television. I am expecting an onslaught of new people to watch this. Especially wannabes wanting to be on the course

From the Variety article:
"while NBC can fill some time in the dog days of summer"
I'll believe that NBC thinks that this is a big thing when I see it.
On the other hand, I am looking forward to trying to spoil something airing on a major network versus some minor cable station.

I seriously doubt they would do Sasuke in mid-July. July 13th-15th is Obon, at least in the Tokyo area. Obon is pretty important in Japan. I doubt they would do Sasuke during or around Obon. O-Bon can be celebrated in either July or August depending on what part of the country you are in but the actual nationwide summer Bon holiday is in August. I had read that Obon is celebrated on the 13th, 14th, and 15th days of the 7th month. On the old lunar calendar, that roughly corresponds to August. On the modern Gregorian calendar, that is July. So, some place celebrate Obon in August, and some, like Tokyo, celebrate it in July. Yokohama, where Sasuke is held, is near Tokyo, so I though that they might celebrate Obon in July, too. Besides, if Sasuke was held during or around Tokyo's celebration of Obon, wouldn't that mean that some of the Tokyo competitors wouldn't be able to compete? That's why I was saying that they wouldn't do Sasuke during mid-July, but I may be wrong about that.

That's why I was saying that they wouldn't do Sasuke during mid-July, but I may be wrong about that. Some people would have time off during July if they were living around Tokyo but Obon is different from New Years where everything shuts down for a few days. Obon is not a national holiday. When and if businesses close is purely at their discretion. Public offices will close but almost all of them, even the ones in the Kanto area, close in August for Obon, not July. Also, one of the main things to do during Obon is to go back to your hometown and visit your family's ancestral grave. Most people are not tied down to a single date when they have to go.

This thread has turned into nothing but a SPAMathon and flame war.
I am locking this thread as I have deemed it unsalvageable.
Arsenette will be transfering the useful data to a new thread.
Edit: This is the official Wakky post.
