Why it gotta be so early Destro? I can do 9:30EST, 9:00EST on a good day. 
We need more California players. I'm sick of waiting until 10pm to start a game...and then not being able to talk to player since I don't speak RUSSIAN.

9 is ok too.. I wouldn't be able to finish one starting at 9-930 est, thats actually 10-1030 for me, but I can certainly get one started.
I know your around Jinxer. But I think the point difference is too scary no ?

Indeed... All my games must be for TOH points. Every game I play is for fun! But ALso must be for points. The TOH points is what gives the game and the time of my life I spent on the game " Meaning"
Let me put it this way... A Poker Analogy... Its like trying to play Poker for Play money vs. Playing Poker for real money.. When you play poker for play money.. there is nothing at risk. And there for no reason to play serious. Where as if I have even $5 invested and at risk to lose.. I stay completely focused the entire time... Same thing goes for heroes.. I Have NEVER played a single 1 player game of Heroes.. NEVER have I played even 1 day of ANY of the capmpaigns of ANY of the verisons of heroes 1-5. WHY? You ASK? Cause single player is BORING and there is no reward for staying focused and winning. TOH grants that small reward.. That record of how I spent my last 6 hours of my life. And yes I will agree that it still isnt that big of reward.. but atleast its something more then. Gee that was fun. Good Game. And noone will ever know about the game or time I spent its just gone. With nothing to show of it........................

TOH points are play money right?
I don't mind playing but I suck so I try to play with players my own skill level.

Hehehe..
Actually, Phoneix hit the nail on the head.....TOH = play money.
(right as I read that, btw...double nutted an o8 hand and milked it for $15 on a PL25 table)
But we agree to disagree here JINX

Ranking system is evil, but is necessary evil I like very match Worms Armageddon game, but i not played this game for long time cos official ranking system stop worked long time before... No point to play vs players with no skill ... And if players have nothing to loose they leave game in any moment. No ranking system ruin game

Well...clearly it isn't necessary or there wouldn't be players in the "training room" at UBI or everyone would be in TOH, since the UBI "ranking system" is broken for about 1/3 the players.

This is actually completely CONTRADICTORY to what *I* think the tournament of HONOR should be all about. Not that people would quit if there is no "ranking system", but that people play with the HONOR of completing the game. I've played countless games until the bitter end (or perhaps not so bitter) on UBI...in training room or otherwise...not because I or other player was looking for POINTS but because it is the honorable thing to do....and hopefully at least a little FUN.
SO, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with the RANKING SYSTEM..but the morality/honor of the player. If I find someone who plays for 20min then quits repeatedly...I stop playing them. But I can name 10 players off the top of my head who I know if we start...they will finish, no problems.
I fully understand JINXERs opinion on the matter...it is a record of self-accomplishment...meaningless or otherwise. I can respect (although don't agree necessarily) with his opinion.
Unfortunately, I don't have much respect for the attitude that "lack of ranking system" causes ppl to quit/be dishonorable. The person is either HONORABLE or NOT, regardless of ranking system.

I agree with Jinxer, to an extent, I do play cause I like to see that ranking go up and down, but it doesn't matter how much I am set to win or lose.. couldnt care less. But I understand the premise of what jinxer is saying. I was merely saying that my points are low enough that Jinxer or any other legionaire for that matter knows I am an experienced player and the risk vs reward is often not very beneficial to them since I don't play enough to keep my rating up/.

haha... Indeed Destro... I ran into similar situation in a recent game with SQ... I made a fatal mistake of accepting a game with the FORMER Emperor SQ79 and didnt bother to check his ranking and points for season 2... well apparently I come to find out... he has bearly played any games season 2.. so I am in the middle of a game with an Emperor Quality player with only 1100 points and I have 1650 points  So I can win 3pts or can lose 48pts... well ofcourse.. SQ emperor skill shined and I lost 48pts.... ofcourse not the end of the world.. but need to pay attention to rank vs players skill.. and make sure they matchup..
Anyways... if you promise to not disappear on me Destro... and are gonna be online regular at nights... I would be willing to give you some huge points I already Donated over 120 points in last 4 games... whats a few more hehe.
I am available every night from 9:30pm - 2:00am EST

I red everything u said guyz, I agree almost everything and I can understand each point of view.
There's cases and cases in Toh, but what I care most is HONOUR.
I found out a simple thing from this TOH community: there's nothing different from real life in here: why should it be different though?
Sometimes u trust somebody and he dissapoints you, cose you think it wasnt fair; sometimes you dissapoint someone you dont want to, did it by mistake, or you just thought you are. In any case, real life mirrors here as well. You need to be tought. Otherwise you'll be crashed out. And thats the fun of it.
Indeed, if the ranking system wouldnt exist at all (not the money - and the analogy dont work for me - ), everything would be like no reward and very boring. For me is enought: points and medals, and lets not forget the statistics, that one isnt relevant at all but its a must. I have many examples from my exp in TOH. You may have against one player 1 victory and 100 losses, this means nothing to me. If you manage to have your morale up, you'll get the fun
