Thanks to everyone out there.
Now a few things I want to actually address with the event.
I agree, this weekend was not the most enjoyable one I’ve streamed, by far I already knew it was a giant cluster---- and I was getting ready to stab someone.
As far as your post goes GordonsBeard, I want to address a few things of what was going on
We ran into a huge scheduling problem that was essentially a fingers crossed moment. I pushed for a month for Highline to actually let us set up on Friday night, but unfortunately they said no and we were forced into a situation of having to set up everything Saturday morning around 8. And that is not fun when you have to set up 100+ foot of wiring and cross fingers that it would all work. A situation of “IF IT CAN GO WRONG, IT WILL GO WRONG”
The reasoning for the CPU auction not going down on stream? The person running it (YzaeB) didn’t feel up to running it Saturday so decided to say "We’ll just do it sunday because me and the guys (Other players) are tired and don’t want to do it tonight.
VF Stream on Day 1 - We had it going but then the circuit kept breaking and we were short power strips/extension cords so it came down to a matter of "Let them play VF or Let them play/stream VF and have the circuit break every 10 minutes.
And to address the matters with the SFxT, there was a problem with the net and we needed to call highline about the issue which they fortunately fixed.
Honestly, any complaint in my eyes is a good complaint. Good or bad, if you don’t like something and its something that I can fix, I’ll easily fix it. However there are times when if something happens, something happens.
The problem with the “audio source” and if I am guessing right, was the time between switching systems, that’s actually the capture card that goes out, if there is no video source, for some stupid reason there’s no audio. As far as the fighting and drama goes, That was actually A LOT of miscommunication, and I apologize about that. All I can really say is DRAMA DRAMA! Also, if you’re in the NW…WHY THE HELL WERE YOU NOT THERE?!
No real reason to make fun of/complain. People are going to list their complaints all day long. At least I don’t $*.** it up.
I agree
As far as the VF5:FS Players not being there on time, there were a lot of things things that contributed to that, and we had planned on running ST instead, but we weren’t actually able to get into the cabinet, so that was another problem. So the organizers decided it would be better to get the main stream going with the Mystery Game Grand finals, and then run with VF5:FS. There was a 30 minute lag in time, but we started busting everything out to get the schedule going in a timely fashion again.
Don’t question my resume. Do some looking around, look in the archives.
Stream chat didn’t. I did.
The TK name is just that, just a name. Something I randomly came up with on a 4 hour drive back from Seattle. There were a lot of f-ck ups that I even hate, and I contribute that to a lot of internal matters, and there were some planning hic-ups that prevented this from going as smoothly as NWM3 went in November. One being given a pinhole amount of time to setup and make sure everything was working.
Only 2 people were working streams this time. Myself, and ManOfTheLeaf. There is no magical team of 30 people working. Just 2. And we were both running around, trying to get games/expedite stream matches.
Like ManOfTheLeaf said, its a matter of that I’m not trying to address questions in chat, especially because A) Chat flys by so crazy it becomes impossible to follow up and what not, the other issue is that most of the time, its chat, it flys by so fast that its just easier to not worry about what people are saying unless it involves a sync issue, like the Main Stream was during VF. Anyone who knows me knows if you have a question just ask, but there are plenty of resources on SRK as well
