if its too steep maybe we can see if he would like to contribute maybe less i mean how many setups would we need for pool play/casuals? 600 is kinda steep from my point of view between rent gf bills and bbq id rather see a larger amount thrown into the pot
if we do this as a one day gathering how about the 29th of sept as a date its a saturday so people can get there work done and shit and its def at cmu theres no further need to debate that
something like 5 setups for marvel and 5 for ae, and then 3-4 for any less popular games? i’m assuming marvel and ae would be the most popular, but i could be wrong.
For a 32 man KoF bracket, I would hope there’s at least 4 setups. It’s a game that just takes forever to run matches even if it ends up being 2-0…you still typically see like five rounds a game, and those rounds can take a long fucking time. That said, I could bring my PS3 and an old shitty CRT along just to have one more setup. Wouldn’t have to just be for KoF, either.
As far as money and location and whatnot…$600 for a 50 people max venue seems kinda…nuts? I admit I’m ignorant on how these things go, but that doesn’t seem too awesome. If CMU has a big enough room I’d say let’s try there.
Oh, I also figure if I pester my buds I can get two more PS3s and a 360 for use. Dunno about monitors though, so they’d be little bastard half setups.
the 50 person venue limit would be at his lan center and that is because if there are any more the fire marshall willnshut his place down ,but if at cmu it will be as many as we want and he will supply lagless monitors and consoles and games ,im going up to the lan center today to meet with him to see whats up so ill keep everyone posted
as long as its on a saturday i give 0 fucks where its at. i will go to it
Herb and I have been talking about how awesome it would be to host a tourney in market square. Granted we would need a giant tarp since Pittsburgh weather is a random thing but man would that be a badass venue.
Herbs title: Showdown at the square!
Reminds me of a tournament series over in New York for melty blood called Battle By the Gazebo. They actually rented out the gazebo, lugged over crts and ps2s and had tournaments there.
As long as this wouldn’t be during the summer, that sounds awesome.
The problem would be renting out the square for a Saturday, and im sure set up would be difficult…not sure how to run electricity…but if anyone’s curious, you can go to the market square website and get contact info for getting information to rent the square for an event.
We would probably need sponsors… But the idea of an outdoor tourney may attract a bigger turnout.
Eight-Arc fusion for sale if anyone is interested.
wtf rj, i was told by reliable sources that you were dead
wheres dat tstone love been
i’d like to know the details on this eightarc LJ
also i don’t think i asked before, what’s the whole story on guest parking for the university center at CMU? could i just give one of you guys my number if i end up stumbling around looking for a parking spot or is it fairly available next to the facility?
you should be fine parking at cmu, its free after 5. still gives you a ticket but you just put the ticket back in when you leave.
and theres tons of spots, no way that it will ever be full
It’s right by Forbes so it shouldn’t be hard to miss. Giving someone like Jason your number is not a bad idea either. Best to have some sort of backup plan at the very least.
Dear Nate,
I miss board game Sundays.
Hugs and kisses,
R.J.
P.S. Tell Mark sorry I never got back to his last email. I died for awhile.
I’m told that I need a 75 dollar permit to park my uhaul for 3 days? Is this something you came across?
