Orlando Thread:CEO Returns to Rocky's 12/18

That is correct, Getting the contract today to go over everything. Good news is the room nights are only required Friday/Saturday, if anyone happens to come thursday night or stay sunday night as well, those nights will actually count towards the 250 room nights.

Good luck with everything, bro! You should also inquire about what businesses in the area offer discounts to people with their Wyndham key cards (i.e. 20% off at Buffalo Wild Wings, Buy 1 Get 1 free milkshake at Checkers, etc.)

you know tony… if you would have bought the tv i linked earlier you would have had a larger tv and payed less :stuck_out_tongue:

I prob should have snagged that deal — but it was only $499 for a very limited time. It’s back up to $589. Hey, we both got nice TVs :slight_smile: S’all good, homey. Plus — I wanted to actually physically see the TV I was gonna be getting. My boy has the same one, just the previous model. It’s fucking sweet. Only reason I was going for the $500-600 range is because I’m getting one for the living room, and one for the bedroom (probably just gonna get a super nice 32" for the bedroom).

What surround sound you get? I gotta hook mine up too, i need help, welcome to the sony bravia family btw.

Yeah, I’m gonna take a page out of my workwebsite and work from that (Free and Cheap things to do around Disney World)

Set up a page on ceogaming.org explaining every single restaurant, what’s to do on iDrive, Discounts on my ticket prices. I want to try and tell people come down Thursday night, pick up badges friday or late register, enjoy orlando, have like a big exhibition match after Dinner time. Also I can entice people with how cheap the outlets in Orlando are, already sent Ricky Ortiz a personal message about shopping haha. I’ll need help on maybe finding links to cheaper prices and such and I’ll just post them next to whatever I can when I list a whole page full of stuff to do in Orlando.

Haha, thank you, sir! I’ve been asking around — and I’ve gotten various responses from friends. In my initial post, I said that I already ordered one, I was incorrect. I almost did last night with my TV, but I wanted to do more research first, so I haven’t actually ordered one yet. Here are what I’ve been recommended so far:

Amazon.com: Bose VCS-30 Center/Surround - Speaker Package, home theater sound for component systems - Black: Electronics

Amazon.com: ZVOX Mini Ultra-Compact Single-Cabinet Surround Sound System: Electronics

Amazon.com: VIZIO VSB200 Universal HD Sound Bar: Electronics

I’ve never even heard of a ‘sound bar’ until today lol… I might just go for a traditional 5 piece jobber. Not sure yet. I’ll keep you posted for sure. If anybody has any good suggestions, holler :smiley:

what i meant was if he got 125 people there and that was it, the hotel would charge him the 10000 since he didnt meet quota or he could just buy the rest of the rooms for 10000. But if say 200 people were there they would still charge him 10000 or he could just buy the last 50 rooms for 4000 dollars and still make 6000. So really 125 is the magic number for him to be reaching for him to start making his money back. In a situation like this you have to assume youve already lost the 10000 dollars. Which hopefully is a loan and not out of pocket. out of pocket is a huge no no that any entrepreneur will tell you.

Im not sure if Im understanding you correctly. The number of persons isn’t that relevant. The number of room nights these persons book is what’s relevant. Your projected estimate, while mathematically correct, is completely unrealistic. Those 125 persons would have to book rooms for weekend for themselves alone in order to fulfill the quota. You’d need more around hmm… 500ish (avg of 4 persons per room)

Also, I would imagine that renting the rooms is not the equivalent of paying the fee and does not contribute to the cost. Buying the rooms would cost almost $20,000. The fee incurred for not fulfilling said quota does not contribute to that. If 249 room nights were booked, then there would still be a $10,000 fee per the contract (although obviously, he could just rent the room himself to avoid that). If he booked 125 room nights and tried to sell them to people, there is still the other 125 room nights to be fulfilled as well as selling off the 125 that he has in possession before he could start making a profit off of that particular venture. The only profit made in almost any scenario would be for the hotel, which is why it was written that way.

You can all do your part by a) booking a room for two nights, and b) having no more than say… 3 to a room. That’ll bring down the avg persons per room == fewer people have to attend in order for the quota to be fulfilled.

Alex: I’d imagine you’ve got venue fees in the ranges of $30-50. Offering a lower venue fee as an incentive to rent rooms with only 2-3 persons in the room might be a good idea (considering the bulk of the venue fees would go towards fulfilling the room quota) Tournaments with super high venue fees are a huge turnoff as is :confused:

The way It’s looking I’ll be doing a 25 dollar early bird venue fee for the weekend, then 30 up until the deadline, then a 40 dollar emergency registration on friday. I think that’s a good price I"m doing my best to keep it at 30 and include well designed lanyards and maybe even a ceo tshirt depending on the cost for them to be made.

i meant rooms not people. that should make it clearer

GGs Alex, I’ve been wanting to play you just to test my skills. Mostly because of your Balrog, I need to work on that match up.

Real talk, Jebailey’s Cammy is a broken tier salt spreader…especially since I played on PSN…with an SE who’s buttons are getting worse by the day.

Evil Ryu & Oni Akuma in SSF4 Arcade Edition, new trailer : News : EventHubs.com

I’m super stoked about the new ranking system though. I really wish Capcom could get the rights to Skullomania to be added :frowning:

I’m pretty sure they’ll just be boss characters…I’m still hoping that Ono trolling on the “new characters” were not for nothing, and that we’d be getting some new ones other than Yun and Yang…if not all I have to say is “successful troll was successful”
