jon r u hosting tomorrow
Yo anyone going to OK today? I’d like to get some SF and marvel matches in. Also could i still get that ride fakesteve? I can give you some cash if need be.
[S]I’m going to OK today but mostly to play/practice P4A. Though I’ll bring the usual assortment of USB sticked XBLA titles (SG, 3S, GGAC+R83nGH, Garou, HDR).[/S]
EDIT - I made a liar out of myself. :sad: I can’t go tonight. Next week.
Sf4/umvc at my place tonight.

I will not make it today as I have to go to a party tonight. Is there going to be a gathering or anything on Thursday or Friday?
I’m down for some sf tonight. I’ll head to OKG as per the norm at 6:30. Unless someone can convince me that the real action is elswhere. Unfortunatly I bus, so changing locations really makes it difficult for me to get to events.
we;re playing at jons, not okg
Bee is going to WNF tonight. hopefully he gets on stream and whoops everyone’s ass.
Well that’s not helpful, but if it’s where everybody will be at I guess I’ll do my best to get there. No promises.
I guess it is all fine for now that we let a public venue WNF die due to apparent lack of interest and lack of anyone running it. However, I think permanently losing a weekly public venue event is an incredibly bad thing for reasons that I have already discussed in length on last years thread.
So with that in mind, and since school is starting to ease up a lot, I would be willing to begin hosting OKG ranbats come February, (or march depending on interest). I do think we need to restructure a little bit, mostly seeing as I don’t think the old format was ideal, and secondly because there is no clear direction on how to deal with the extra money.
Secondly, we absolutely need more scheduled bigger events, and I don’t really think it is fair to expect Shiro to do everything himself. So yea, I’m volunteering. However, only if I have support from the community.
So here are a couple of questions I need peoples input about.
- Is Wednesday really the best day? Would we prefer it was on another day?
- Would it be easier if both Marvel and SF were organized together, so that switching from one game to the other was less confusing?
- If so, would I have support from the marvel community?
- Is pizza night still wanted, or would the extra money be better spent as prize money for the ranbat.
That said, the format I have in mind is this. For the first three weeks out of the month we run simple round robins. Anyone who shows up gets as many matches in with other people who show up as they can (don’t care if the full round robin is completed.). On the final week we run a monthly tournament, double elimination, winner gets the leftover money. Players are seeded according to the round robin results. Entry will still be five bucks and if I only run SF then it’s five for SF, but if marvel is ok with the cost then that five will get you entry into both games.
There are still many details to work out (Like how to manage stations.), and once again THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA. If the interest isn’t there then it won’t happen.
Whether or not OKG remains the “frequent place to play,” I’m still going there most Wednesdays, despite being unable to tonight. I like the place and I have a membership now, so I want to use it.
If you want a public venue then you have to either be willing to pay or be willing to bring your own setups. Nobody wants to bring setups and people are getting tired of paying, so I guess private meetups are the thing for now.
Hey Ryan we should have a cup of coffee together and work on some idea’s I like that you are ambitious and your willing to get games going. I agree that a public venue for video game gather is ideal, I am meeting the Games club at Gmac on monday to go over the event for march but I don’t see why they wouldn’t host us for mondays. All we need to do is bring setups. I am more than willing to do that mysellf and hey if thats what ittakes for a free pubic venue I am down. I say YAY for bringing shit to Gmac.
Ideally what we could do is have it free to play SF / Marvel / W.E. and if people want to enter the ranbat they pay $5.00, this helps people come out and not be charged an hourly rate due to their wanting to discover the FGC from a purely casual aspect. They also have a LAN connection with suuuper fast net, honestly its really fast… Its just an idea its not Wednesday its Monday but hey maybe its the right move…
I thought Gmac Comics & Games Club was only open from 4-8PM on Monday?
Hey Steve, are we still going to play one night before I leave on Saturday?
So I assume it was a quiet night at OKG. thats what usually starts the “The community is dying” “what are we gonna do with our lives” talk.
we played at jons place instead of OKG and it was quite lively
Zeni i dunno i’m busy today and I gotta work tomorrow, we’ll see what time I get off tomorrow. maybe around 9
I may not be at work on Saturday since there is not much left this trip for work so I can stay out late on Friday if we do anything. I am rather bored this trip as it has been almost all work.
ok cool, friday night is probably best then
