Wait, this doesn't even make sense. You're going anyway. And Pig has registered. He explicitly said he's still planning on competing and if history taught us anything, he's still going. It's not like it's significantly affecting your plans if it's pending, unless you were going to practice for Zod 24 hours a day, and even then, just put your practice for Zod on hold and if you don't get an answer from Pig (or one of his friends) by say, mid November, you bow out, how about that?
Please don't give me the "I'm too old for this" nonsense when you weren't too old to create a thread to hype up a video game exhibition in which you're putting money on the lien and will travel specifically to play said video game. It's dumb.
Unless you're just having second thoughts about your chances, of course.
