Remember, Hygiene is important ie. TAKE A F*CKIN' SHOWER!

Ok, for those of you that regularly go to tournaments (mainly majors) will notice that there’s always someone there who wreaks. This is a horrible experience for everyone else so please fuckin’ take a shower. For those of us that were at NCR this year, you know how bad it was being confined in that small ass room having to smell the bodily fumes of most of the players. Here are some tips to keep people hygienic at Evo:
[LIST]
[]Contrary to what Oscar The Grouch told you, water and soap will not kill you. Please shower before coming to the tournament EVERY DAY!!!
[
]If you’re rooming with someone who is pretty rank you can either:
[LIST]
[]A. Wait for them to go to sleep then you and your friends fill up the tub with some scented bath beads or just soap it up and throw his ass in there.
[
]B. Don’t wait until he goes to sleep. Hit him on the back of the head and knock him out.
[]C. If it’s raining outside take him outside and throw him out there with a bar of soap.
[/LIST]
[
]Carry some mini speed sticks on you and hand them out as trophies to people you think just smell horrible. Just tell them it’s complimentary and that you are doing a survey so they put it on right then and there.
[*]Bring some febreeze and spray it in the vicinity of any stank.

No lie. I have actually done this. You can buy several small travel-sized things of deodorant for cheap that are perfect for this.

I havent been to a major but from what Ive heard it does smell and its hard to find who is it but all I know is that when I go to evo I will have my deo and shit on deck,also I really dont understand why people dont wanna take a shower…-_-

Oh my god thank you for this this thread!!!

Dare me to handout speedsticks Hindu…dare me!! You know I will.

I’d like to propose people be checked at the door for smelliness. They should then be bounced the fuck out if they smell. Seriously, E3 smells better than some of the tournaments I’ve been to. Showers feel great. I don’t see the issue, here.

soap and water people!!

raises arm and takes a whiff
ponders for a long moment
Nah, I’m still good.

Edit: This reminds me. I saw a picture someone took of a sign they had at a magic tournament or something. Said “If your body odor effects other players then you will be asked to leave”. Fuckin funny as shit, wish I still had the picture.

We should also donate some Glade to spray around the event hall. They should invest in some plug-ins too, imo. Keep it fresh, keep it funky free.

It’s that new metagame technology, where I try to smell like a skunk that swam in rotten milk that died of vomiting while crawling inside the ass of a decomposing corpse, and then shit on itself.

Throws my opponent off his game every time, especially when I try to sit really close to him and set up my small fan to blow my funk into his nose.

It shouldn’t even be about courtesy to other people. It’s a normal practice to shower once or twice a day and wear clean clothes. If you don’t already do that on a normal basis, you’re a deviant.

Also, please do not rely on your sense of smell or your friends’ senses on whether you reek or not. Smokers of all types are many times the worst offenders. Just take a shower stinky.

im just going to bring like a dozen cans of axe so i can spray nubs with them

Oh god plz don’t. Axe + B.O. = some hellish hybrid scent… have you walked inside of a locker room recently?

The weird truth is, fighting game tournaments smell 10 times worse than my gyms and all the BJJ tournaments that I’ve been to. And the latter are all full of sweaty dudes (no homo). So I think that says something about hygiene of most gamers…

It’s more than just a shower. Wear some clean clothes too dammit.

You might smell all nice n fresh when you get out the shower and throw on last weeks boxers and socks, but the moment you sweat, it’s over.

If the evo staff really wanted to they could kick your ass out.

Try getting on a bus on the vegas strip while smelling like a disgusting piece of shit, they will kick you right off the bus and tell you exactly why.

It’s not even common courtesy, it’s normal human behavior.

Auto-stinky gems should be banned

"If it’s raining."
You do know water makes you smell like wet dog, right? XD Also, rain, in Vegas? In the middle of summer? You’ll be lucky if you get a few drops. Least we did last year anyway.

But yes, please people, shower. It’s distracting when you’re trying to focus on a game and you feel nauseous XD
Really don’t understand how people can want to stay away from showers with that heat, seriously.

WASH UNDER YOUR ARMS AND YOUR BALLSACKS PLEASE!!

I want to get hype. Not sick.

Don’t forget between the cheeks.
