Ya, it's not like we didn't expect all of this. Ofcourse it's gonna be harder to get new people to play an older game. Even so, I'm sure there's some, and even after all of this advertising, scoring 3-4 new players would likely satisfy a good number of us. I know I'd be happy. Again, the idea is education, teach them why we play the way we do and how it can be fun. Hell, even if they're only interested in playing brawl, which sadly is more popular, there's still more for the smash community.
it seems like all you guys just wanna play and not do much else. Me, james, ean, and kira seem like the only ones willing to do stuff. come on guys, if you always say the community sucks, then step it up, and help us out. if you dont know how, then ask, its a much more productive than spamming the **** out of these boards, which in turn can get it locked, and then none of us can post.alright guys,, there are 4 events that are coming up in the next 6 months that we as smashers should prepare for. by prepare i mean, organizing in a way that can bolster our numbers. First and foremost is the all day smash that me, james and ean were suppose to be planning. second would be Alaska Gaming Convention, third would be arctic attack, and fourth would be senshicon. These events are crucial because they are basically a huge gathering of nerds.
First is the smash community's tournament day. Do we have a name for this yet? if its gonna be an entire day dedicated to smash, i think it should get a name, that way it will hopefully become tradition and we can do this annually, and keep the community alive, you know what i mean? it seems that we already have a date set, which is the 1st saturday of the new years. now we need a venue, which was suppose to be at wayne's world? James and Ean didnt really get back to me on that, so i will talk it out with them later. As smashers, we need to advertise this like ****ing 2012 and swine flu COMBINED, to gather people in. if new people show up, introduce them, im thinking like cards or little advertisement cards that show off like a youtube/combo video of us playing (cold finger johns?) and a link info to this site.
Second will be the Alaska Gaming Convention. this convention will be showcasing basicaly... everything. heres a copy pasta of an email braxton send me of the latest updates about it.
Admissions will be $5 dollars. That includes playing the tournaments too.
Events: Cos-Play, Name that Character and Name that Tune. Video Game Quiz is a possibility.
Tournaments: Golden Eye and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
As of right now, its just Smash brothers brawl because it seems to be the most popular, however im sure if me, kira and Ian were to talk to braxton we can throw in a melee event in there somewhere... again, we need to be there to advertise, word of mouth, spam email, w/e, you know the more poeple the better, plus if the smashers were more willing to help out with this convention we would most certainly gain our own little "division" of the convention as time goes by.
Third order of the srsbizniz is Arctic Attack. http://forums.alaskagamers.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2087&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=arctic+attack that is the link to it. Arctic Attack is a little thing that is being planned by AGC, and they plan on including smash. I personally would LOVE to step in and just run the smash department, but thats what we have kira for. however at this point in time i dont know much about it so anyone on good terms with banky, im guessing Ean, talk to him about this, and get us in there!
Fourth would be senshicon. Now this is a huge wildcard. The con might go for 2 days, it might not. However if it does go on for 2 days, it might profit for us, because then we'd be able to have a melee as well as a brawl tournament. Again, being there not only for competing, but bolstering our numbers and advertising our community. Also, maybe have a set up showcasing Cold Finger Johns.
Now, i think as winter vacation goes on, we need to get a combo video up and done before the new year. i say this is a good and accomplishable goal, dont yall think? At major smashfests we should start bringing recording equipment, doesnt have to be eans fancy stuf, although its preferred, even digital cameras will do i guess. start recording, because ive notice a huge influx of skill recently and i think its a great time to capture our matches. I think if we divvy up the work between Ean, James, Me and Caleb we should be able to handle this project fine.
In addition, Swamp has basically given up on the smash documentary. i have a camera and im willing to pick up where he left off. I believe it should be part of cold finger johns, but some people think it should be a separate thing. its a work in progress, as soon as ill write a screenplay and put it up on here soon.
Anyways, these are all just sugestions on what we can do to improve this community with what we have. if anyone else has any ideas, questions, comments, disagreements, PLEEEEEASE dont hesitate to post it on here but dont be a troll about it. I think its time we start having some constructive criticism. I hope everyone takes the time to read this post as well
Raiding mostly, although if we make a guild and we actually have healers that are legit I can make a disc pvp spec and go full shadow pve
IMO your warrior would be best to transfer
Mother brother sister that's a cool avatar, Jason. I swear, good choice...
