2 stage bans

We will be using the official 6.0 set. If anyone is caught cheating, they will be immediately DQed and banned from all future tourneys I run, and my pig will eat your first-born son.

Custom music is fine but I will probably ban custom textures (excluding official B+ teams color fixes). Well, I didn't last time, but if anyone has any complaints about textures, let me know.

Place:

1802 Baltimore Blvd (aka RT 140)
Westminster, MD 21157

It's about 30 minutes from Baltimore. It is a hot tub store, very soon after the Royal Farms. Park in the back. There will be one or two hot tubs running, and you can get in them if you want *not joking*. So bring your swim trunks if you want to. Please be respectful of my dad's store though. He will be open for business until 4pm or so, so we'll only be using the back half of the store until then.

If you need help finding it, you can call my cell, 443-536-1386. If you don't have your own transportation, the Owings Mills metro station is only about 15 minutes away, and someone should be able to pick you up from there. Anyone who wants to can crash at my house about 10 minutes away on Saturday night (bring a sleeping bag though).

Time:

The tourney will take place on Saturday Jan. 9th.

10am: Doors open
11am: Signups
12pm-4pm: Teams
5pm-10pm: Singles

People can crash here Saturday night if they need to.

What to Bring:

I have 3 TVs of my own, but more would be helpful if a lot of people come. So bring Wiis, TVs, and SD cards (no bigger than 2 GBs). If you don't have one, there are stores nearby that sell them. I can help you hack your Wii if it isn't already. Also, bring a sleeping bag if you want to sleep here Saturday night. If not, there are cheap hotels nearby. Google is your friend.

Food:

There are lots of places to eat nearby. There is a Royal Farms within easy walking distance.

We have Five Guys, Denny's, Applebees, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Burger King, Roy Rogers, Arby's, KFC, Wendy's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Salsarita's, Chick-Fil-A, and Friendly's all real close to JCaesar's house, so we can go chill out afterwards.

There will almost certainly be a Buffalo Wild Wings run after the tournament.

Dress warmly.

[ThatGuyYouMightKnow]

I need a teammate. Pl0x.

And maybe a ride?

Coo?

 

[Bandit]

I will need a teammate for this. Anyone want a beastly Zelda friend?

:bandit:

 

[TheTantalus]

I just came up with a brilliant plan

Lets do this tourney, then go play laser tag at XP laser sport, then go to wild wings

That would most certainly get me to attend

 

[[TSON]]

Everyone play yoshi and pick warioware+yoshi's island

If we have time (and I doubt it'll be a problem), then sure, I'm down for that.

Everyone play yoshi and pick warioware+yoshi's island

I know he can infinite stall, but really it's not broken at all. He's still very vulnerable to footstools and attacks. Every time Cape tried that against me I punished him for it.

 

[Bandit]

Fixed.

You can't expect me to own everyone in laser tag on an empty stomach.

:bandit:

 

[TheTantalus]

it could go either way, only issue would be time i suppose

If we eat early enough, that could work out

 

[Isatis]

/attending

And yeah, gonna be needing a partner as well >_<

 

[Bandit]

@Tant

When does the laser tag place close?

 

[Seagull Joe]

Ooooooooooooooo. May come if I can get off work.

 

[TheTantalus]

like 12am or so

 

[JCaesar]

I'd say laser tag is a definite go then. I'd prefer to hit BWW first as it gets extremely crowded on Saturday nights. Hell, maybe between doubles and singles would be the best time. Then we could definitely get a table.

 

[SnackAttack]

I know that this is a hackfest, but am I allowed to bring a vBrawl Wii?

I just wanna hang out, and get friendlies in on the down time.

 

[JCaesar]

I suppose...

You know someone's probably gonna be hosting a vBrawl tourney on this date.

 

[Nintendude]

I know this is nothing new, but I literally lol'd when I read that "Wifi Waiting Room" is a counterpick stage.

 

[Alphatron]

You guys in your states that aren't New York...

 

[GuruKid]

Low entry fee makes me sad face. New York might be rolling through; I'm craving those wild wings!

 

[g-regulate]

if gurukid comes to this, im canceling my melee-hyperbolic-time-chamber plans, and exacting revenge at this

race car drivers > turtles

 

[Cia]

LOL.. I was just coming in this thread to say

"G-reg, team with me!"

I'm definitely making this.

edit: JCaesar - let's go to buffalo wild wings!

 

[JCaesar]

I know this is nothing new, but I literally lol'd when I read that "Wifi Waiting Room" is a counterpick stage.

Miiiike! Are you coming to Pound 4?

Low entry fee makes me sad face. New York might be rolling through; I'm craving those wild wings!

If there's serious OOS interest, I'm more than willing to raise entrance fees to $10. I only hesitate because that tends to discourage some of the local players. And even though there's nothing scheduled yet, there will likely end up being an MD/VA vBrawl tourney this weekend, which unfortunately a lot of locals will probably choose over Hackfest. If we do get the OOS interest though, I'll hype this as much as I can.

Wings will be had by all!

 

[SnackAttack]

If said vBrawl tournament is in VA, then it's a no go.

I wanna r@pe some people at Laser Tag anyway.

 

[TheTantalus]

Well looks like i'll probably show up to this, lol

Hova, come meet us for laser tag

 

[JCaesar]

I'm raising singles entrance fee to $10 a pop, because Insomniac, the B+ crew from NY, is showing up in full force! Let's defend our home turf guys!

Tant, how much is laser tag?

 

[TheTantalus]

uh if we play after 8pm its 20 bucks for 6 games, which is a steal, for the 2 games we played before its 13

 

[Lobos]

Well **** if OOS comes and the turn out looks good, I'll try to come and make this. Maybe coney and other FNB members might wanna come to this!

 

[JCaesar]

Spread the message Lobos! This one's gonna be big.

 

[Cia]

Well **** if OOS comes and the turn out looks good, I'll try to come and make this. Maybe coney and other FNB members might wanna come to this!

Yeah get everyone, MD's going to be under siege.

 

[Talwind]

Yo me and Mexi are thinking about coming to this, hows the attendance looking? Any chance doubles can be upped to $20 per team?

~ This is Chibo

 

[Lord Khanti]

i think ima try and get thru 2 ur place : D

 

[The Phazon Assassin]

I love the pic in the OP.

I would come to this if I wasn't saving for Pound. Laser tag makes my mouth water, but I have to show restraint.

 

[CT Chia]

we seriously need to get more than 20 ppl to come to this so mexi and i can come.

 

[JCaesar]

20 is very likely. We had over 20 at the last big Hackfest, and that was with a lot less OOSers.

 

[CT Chia]

edit: this wasnt me posting

 

[dawgbowl]

may come with a friend for doubles.

 

[Coney]

sorry lobro, that's my sister's birthday weekend, gotta be home for celebratin' and the like

md/va is safe from my jig-a-lee once again

Spoiler

but for how long

 

[Bandit]

Anyone going to Pound and this tournament that is looking for a teammate in B+? Zelda the Bounty Hunter is currently looking for partner in crime.

I'm hoping to team with someone at both and truly use this as a warm-up.

:bandit:

 

[SnackAttack]

I'll be here.

 

[TheTantalus]

I got so mad the last 3 times I played this game

Hopefully ill come away happier this time

 

[JCaesar]

Mad about what? Who were you playing with?

I think you need to just drop the MK and play a character you like. Just try to enjoy it.
