To officially become an Enforcer, cut off time was back in February/March (I believe). I usually get added as an Enforcer, then they have like 30 “roll call” type threads/emails and if you don’t respond within a few days they axe you.
I believe people can become unofficial Enforcers on the spot if a Lead Enforcer (Enforcerer?) deems it necessary for more help, and they can give you some benefits to being a volunteer.
I didn’t really want to be an Enforcer for a couple years because the tournament I was interested in was CS, and every year I was Enforcer they scheduled me “on-duty”, and I told them to ‘No’ in a polite way. I told them the main reason I was even at PAX was for the tournament to play with old friends who yoink me to play it every year.
Either way, it’s a sick event, I would inform everyone to go and check it out.
yea im def going. i go every year and always book my room at the sheraton(http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/index.html), its like just a couple yards away. being able to play starcraft 2 last year was just amazing. also udon usually has a table set up so u can meet some of the guys who do the art for the SF comics. i have a sketch of akuma that joe ng did for me last year.
Yeah, I’ll be going. I’m actually one of the enforcers that’ll (hopefully) be helping to run the console tourney.
Applications for enforcer positions are on the penny-arcade main site. http://penny-arcade.com/2009/6/19/. That was only 10 days ago, so you may still have a shot.
Expect the console freeplay rooms to be pretty awesome. There’s bound to be a bunch of newer gen players getting into fighting games all over the place there.
Looks like I was wrong then. That’s cool for anyone who wants to be an Enforcer for the event. You generally get free admission, free bawls, and free food at Enforcerland. It’s pretty chill benefits, but expect to work hardcore during set-up and tear-down.
Looks like I will be enforcing aka running a pool at this event…As long as it’s not Halo 3…I’ll be fine. But I am trying to play Justin if he’s up here…
Markman just posted on TZ that Namco will br @ PAX this year with the console version of Tekken 6! Get hype son! Its like EVO all over again! I wasn’t planning on attending PAX untill I heard this…
Awesome Possum. I took that Friday off from work and have the whole apt to myself till sunday night. Best believe that there will be some SFIV/BlazBlue/KoF/TvC going on at night/early morning. Oh and MarkMan…the T6:BR cab at GameWorks is literally across the street from the convention center where PAX is held. SFIV, New KoF, TvC, BlazBlue are there as well. Marvel, 3S, others too.
Live a short bus/monorail ride from the convention center. Medium-ish apt. Anyone who wants to hang lemme know. I have shit I want to see at PAX, but liike I said nights are wide the f open.
