Did you really just call Jake "Blue Death"?

I haven't heard that name in forever. I occasionally let a "Blue" slip, but never the full thing.

Yeah, Matt, look into Tufts and Northeastern, maybe Wentworth? Basically anything in Greater Boston that has an established campus, and is pretty close to the train. Hopefully it won't be as expensive. Also, since it's in the summer, maybe you should ask about housing in the dorms?

whats important is

this will be the biggest tournament of all time

and will be renamed

MLG presents FC Fast Pound: Ohana 0C42X
Sounds like a car.


Questor, for now I'm going to stick with asking if we even can rent the rooms. Dorms and such will be taken into consideration later.

Also, **** people and their new tags. Original tags > All others.

I sometimes call you OmegaBlueMage.
Old tags ftw

That actually helps a lot, Frames.
Blackmage and Blue Death both gave me some tips on what I should ask for. I was thinking it was like some professional ****, but if I consider what you said it's pretty relaxing.
no prob

what also helps is if you actually go to the college, or know people that do, the building on campus that was willing to rent to me actually offered discounted rates if i was with a student organization, and by a lot too, so ask around see if maybe you can get one of the clubs to sponsor you

I ran into Jake wandering around Anime Boston a few years ago and said "Aren't you Blue Death?" and he said "yes." and then hid in his box and shuffled away.
LOL win


isn't there a way to claim that we're a registered association, and thereby get partly sponsored?


in Sweden we have something called "Swerock", and they sponsor a lot of associations connected with TV-games, Live etc. as long as the association qualifies as such (there are some standards, like taking protocol, have registered members and so on). Does anything like that exist in the states?


just an idea on how to (partly) solve the financial issues.

I don't think anything like that is around here.
Maybe G4 but it's a loooooong shot.

Getting this on TV would be amazing but I really doubt it would happen.

If you're feeling EXTRA bold, you can try asking Nintendo for some money, who knows maybe they'll put you in nintendo power like they did for FC3.

You can make an account here https://nintendo.sponsorwise.com/Login.aspx and try your luck.

I actually filled one of these out, and it took a while, nintendo never got back to me though :(
i bet on the form or whatever you use to ask them for money, if you say its for brawl only and that melee is dead they'd probly give you moneyz

Is there at least a range of dates you are/aren't looking at? By the end of the month I'll just have to pick a random week to spend with my family, and I'm sure there are more people in a similar situation.

So how much would it cost to get from ohana to this tournament, just checking the options.

Edit, was meant for the champ combo thread. -_-

Or suck their ****.


Also the date I constantly tell venues I contact is July 17-19. If that weekend is taken I go for the week directly after it.

it's still not good enough for him to buy a ticket

it's not relevant if it's narrowed down to two weekends; it needs to be a specific date to be helpful =\

Anyway I just called up a few colleges and left messages about it. I'm going to call them each back on Thursday in hopes of talking to someone if I have no callbacks by then.
