!UPDATED: POWNZ Christmas Countdown Special! FREE! 06/12/09

UPDATE: Due to an oversight in scheduling the date has been moved to Sunday December 6th, 2009

Hi Guys,

Christmas is coming and POWNZ faithfully remembers all the time and commitment all you guys have given us. In celebration of this we will be hosting a FREE, you heard it, FREE, day of casuals/community organized events for SFIV.

**What does this mean? It means you can come to POWNZ pay NO venue fee (this applies to everyone! no l33t or n00b memberships apply here) to play SFIV. **
Hold on, it gets even better! If you guys want to run a big money match or 5v5 we’ll even post it up on livestream and commentate on the match!

Information is provided below!

Date: Sunday December 6th, 2009
Time: 3:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Cost: FREE FOR ALL

Schedule: If you want to host a MM or exhibition event please contact me at vince.hui@pownz.com or PM me on SRK and we will gladly work with you all to schedule a time for your event.

Also, as a side note there are also days for two other big games! For those who are interested check it out below!

Sunday December 12th, 2009 - Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Saturday December 13th, 2009 - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Now when you say “FREE” do you really mean FREE this time?
Also, is this only “Free” for Pownz members, or can people that perhaps have not paid to renew their annual fees get into it also?
I am asking first this time because I’m not walking for 20 minutes this time to find out that “Free” meant that I had to pay $10 and that “Free Pizza, Pop and Cake” was just Pizza and Pop that was free for some and not others.

Can someone please read this to Chipter.

Chipter it appears you have some personal issues in regards to your response. It appears you have trouble reading. It is okay, many adults have this challenge and I would like to let you know that you are not alone.

Reading is an essential life skill. Although many of us take it for granted there are millions of less fortunate individuals, not unlike you who are unable to access the resources to learn such an important skill.

I sincerely would like to help you along with your problem and hope to direct you to the proper resources. As a start I have posted some very good learning resources that may help to assist you in opening the door to many new possibilities in life.

How to learn to read for adults

I hope these links can help you. You are not alone in this wide world. There are people who understand and care about your condition and want to help you.

Sincerely,

Vince

I will confirm that this is free event, it is a thank you to the community that has supported us so well. There will be 2 other events dedicated to 2 other communities (modern warfare and smash brothers), whom have given a lot to us and its our way of giving back. the only restrictions to this event is the time. But with that aside this is our way of saying thank you to all the players who have supported us this 2009 year.

My problem is last time you said something was FREE it fucking wasn’t.
I walked all the way down there thinking it was free to arrive there and the staff is like “uhh. what?”. I’m just double checking to make sure you know what you’re talking about before you post something as fact. And I wasn’t the only one either.

Here i’ll help you again :slight_smile:

Edit: Maybe I should be more specific.

Vince; that was some seriously good sarcasm you threw at Chipter there. Sounds like a great event. Hope everyone enjoys it.

I dont’ wanna act like a total scumbag but can we at least run sfiv for like 5 dolla ? I think its great that you’re running a free event, but without prizes there still isnt incentive for ppl to reach.

Way to address a legitimate concern (caused by a previous misunderstanding in an identical situation) with heavy sarcasm while representing a business Vince. I’d hire you anyday.

maybe change the topic to include: “free event - no venue/membership fees” to avoid any more confusion!

ps. hooked on phonics worked for me!

Hi guys!

Is my trolling too strong!?

Teddy: If you guys want a 5 dollah tourney. We will run it if there is enough demand. As I said. Please send in any requests to my email or PM me on SRK.

I’m with Teddy in that I think it’s a great idea that still needs a marginal draw. If this was something advertised only to Hamilton/Stoney Creek I think it’d be great as a way to get everyone out who don’t want to pay venue fees for casual games. However, for the players who are driving ranging from 1/2 hour away to nearly 2 hours for the far east end, you’re going to want at least some kind of prize as a draw whether a low buy in tourney or a set giveaway.

BTW can we at least keep this set in stone?

2/3 for no less than $5
3/5 for no less than $10
4/7 for no less than $20
Race to 7 for no less than $50
Race to 10 for no lesss than $100

On that note:

I like me over Wing 3/5 for $10
I like me over Dice01 4/7 for $20
I like me over JDK Mark 4/7 for $20
I like me over Rebelo RT7 for $50

I’ll bring another $100 for side bets.

What’s good?

As stated. We will take al requests. Nagata do you want me to book these and schedule them into the stream for you? Let me know what your schedule is like so we can figure it out.

**Dice01 Sucks. **
Bolded for emphasis

Well if the players accept my challenges then book them however you want. I just wanted to be sure I threw them out there now so people have time to consider taking the match.

Rey; are you free this day? If so I’ll play you 4/7 for $20 as well for Best In Hammer.

OMG HYPE!!!

Ngu poster required! :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh the days when asking was paramount to getting what you wanted. How I miss them.

justin; sure, i’ll accept the mm, but why only $10 on me when you mm others for at least $20? i dont mind losing $50 to you if you wanna mm me for $50. or $100.

How come you didn’t challenge me? :frowning:

sure, first to 7 for $50?

Because if I have to hand you anything more than a $10 I’ll kill myself.
