New Hampshire: The Sessions...Return of Salt Mines Starts 1/15/13

Dan Battles! I’m up to run it this Tuesday so long as there are at least 10 SF players! I didn’t last time because there were probably only 5 of us (All the other players filling the room were for MK, MVC and Smash!)

Also, I’ll be testing the stream at PWA since they’ve gotten the internet all sorted out.

I should be on the email list I think, I remember writing it down on the notebook last time. If not I’m ashleywr20@gmail.com

And I’d love to play some AH3 with people, my PSN is Liz__Lemon (two underscores.) I also play a lot of MVC3, and only a little AE.

Cool beans peoples. Setting up the group as I write this so you should be seeing something in your inbox’s shortly. Ashley i’ll add you before I head over to PWA, for some AH3. Who do you play?

Gonna be fun tonight cool cats and jive turkeys. We will have AE on my setup all night, and on the projector. The other projector game as always will be MK. Maybe we can let Adam know ahead of time to leave a couple of tv’s in the back so we don’t have quite the dispersion of people throughout the room. It would be nice to see some crowds around each display to promote more conversation. Marvel was really hype two weeks ago because of this. Not going to get there till later so whomever arrives before me please take responsibility in getting this done, thank you!

Tom the hope is that we can focus people attention more on the tournament games so that we can have Danisen. I’m surprised we only had 5 people two weeks ago.

Any Questions, Comments or Concerns you know the drill: Post it!

Lets go get hype! Yo laurence if we have an extra display you want me to bring a setup (i.e. 360, 2 stcks, and some fighters)

Bring your sticks man, like Tim said we are always searching for them because people leave and take theirs at random times throughout the night. If you feel comfortable bring your whole setup minus tv. It may or may not be used though, so at your leisure.

There will be a little re-arranging of the room tonight due to the fact that this week the room has been utilized for Cap and gown airbrushing for Pelham High school seniors. Worst case scenario

We will be utilizing only one projector system. John will be there early to start the room configuration and I will follow shortly.

Thanks.

I play Lilica/Love and Wind and Konha/Plant mostly. I’ve been trying out others but I keep going back to them.

Lilica is so cool. I use Saki/Love only. Odd since she is a rushdown charge character and it works!. Love is a great Arcana which I wasn’t expecting…dat beam!

Google group created, check your inboxes. If you didn’t get one then it means: A) didn’t get it/weren’t on lists or B) couldn’t decipher the egyptian heiroglyphics you call handwriting…Shoutouts to American Penmanship ON BLAST! Just send me your email and i’ll get you right on the list homies =).

Yeah i will bring my stuff. My friend hasnt played ae yet so i have to show him whats up anyways

I might not be able to find a ride tonight, but I have my fingers crossed :[

We’ll make a call out for the danisen league and see how many we get

Kraig and I (because I get lost easily) can ride out and get you Tom, so hit me up when you know for sure.

829 views on the tournament page so far, and i know I didn’t hit the link that many times =p. The interest seems to be out there peeps, very exciting!

My deepest apologies to those I unintentionally ignored last night once Arcana Heart 3 hit the screen last night. Before I go on about that more my apologies also for the tremendous amount of Salt I have been sprinkling lately. Morton’s personally called recently to tell me that their supply depots are overstocked and to stop production. It really hasn’t been game related at all, nor directed at anyone in our community, just life happening my people. Now more arcana…

It’s honestly a lot of fun with some VERY interesting and easy to understand game mechanics. Obviously if you don’t like anime fighters because you are too cool, don’t like anime, or have no interest in female character driven games it won’t appeal to you. It’s not BlazBlue or Melty (much simpler to understand) so don’t even bother comparing it to those games. So if you are home alone and have nothing better to do: Lock yourself in your room, close the shades, put on your loli goggles, grab a PS3 controller and check out the trial, you may be pleasantly surprised =).

PWA news, there is an issue with going weekly from what I gather, Adam will respond once he has a sit down with Sarah. So more news to come on that topic this week.

Speaking of PWA I would like to hear some feedback from you guys regarding last night. Looks like we dipped in the numbers a bit but you can’t grow every week! Personally there is a big problem with setups. I saw far too many people playing solo in the few hours I was there and really didn’t like that. one guy packed up early because he had no one to play with. I understand that some people come from a bit of a distance to play, but it is also really bad to come a long way AND have no one to play against soooo…

We go back to the debate about limiting the setups. I don’t believe there is any argument that we have way too much going on in that room for the numbers we have (although they are good). TvC in one corner, 2 BB setups, 2 AE setups, 2 MvC setups, 2 MK projector setups, 1 GG setup and non of them are full or have anyone really waiting to play. While this may be cool for the people who just want to play as much as possible, it doesn’t do anything for those of us who want to compete against a variety of people.

Sitting at the same station playing against the same person the whole night imo defeats the purpose of having PWA in the first place. I feel badly that Vyers and Nuclear cheese come out every event and just play against one another because the room is walking A.D.D. Arcana only drew attention because everything else at that point was shut off… Save your gas and play online or we can go back to Salt Mines without the time limit, chill and shoot the breeze. For the next PWA event it would be a good idea to just have 1 setup of each. Promote more walking around while you wait (yes, wait! arcade style) for your turn and maybe someone will sit down that you haven’t played before giving you an opportunity to educate, or have a damn good match. It would certainly give the room some damn hype besides why random wailings of fake hype just to get some damn energy in the room. Plus cleaning up at the end of the night would be much easier when everyone is gone and some of us are left to help out with the aftermath.

If anyone vehemently opposes please state why other than personal distaste =p. Should we choose to go ahead and try this and it is not met well by the players that come, we can add setups during the event as needed.

On a side note Kraig, Rich watch your inbox today. Need an opinion on some AE related stuff.

If you have read this far I commend you!

I like having to wait and watch games. Setup one station that outputs video to two head to head TVs! It gets hyped!

there was only 1 bb set up and 2 ae set ups last night. there was no reason what so ever to have 3 mk set ups. we did a pretty good job of rotating out people on the bb and sf stations.
i really don’t see too much of a problem with the set ups normally, no one really plays tvc, but adam loves it so he always sets it up.

1 Mortal Kombat projector setup, 1 AE projector setup, 1 AE tv setup, 1 BB setup, 1 Marvel setup and TvC. Sounds good to me. Let’s try it whenever the next event is scheduled.

Can anyone tell me how far Keene and Jaffrey are from them? Trying to get an idea how necessary that other NH thread is atm.

NB mind if i bring garou? I feel like getting my bustawolf on

It’s not just my call, but if no other input is given then it’s a greenlight to me to try something different. I have Garou on my XBox so you won’t need to. Supposedly Last Blade 2, and garou among a couple of others do something wonky to the Dreamcast lens laser, avoiding using mine as a result. I would love to get some 4 player Power Stone 2 in on the next fight night though…

It’s definitely not necessary lol. But the OP seems adamant in not doing the hour to Pelham, which I guess is understandable. I don’t want to drive 45 minutes to framingham!

I agree, that it’s tough to have to drive that far to play, but it’s hard for me not to realize that we have players here traveling more than that to play at PWA if not my place regularly…Oh well can’t teach drive, have it or don’t. Just trying to avoid division, but guess it’s inevitable.
