happy birthday old man sharkie

might i add that I had no idea I had him added on skype

 

[Senliten]

Well, I just got back from my first tourney where I legitimately applied my Ike and it worked. Why, I dunno, but he covers the match-ups that I hate to play as Falco well enough to my satisfaction.

Never would I of seen the day........

@Ussi/Jam: The 4th.....I shall be free and will be able to Soku you two until my heart is content or you two start having to use yuyu to spam for wins . Which ever comes first lol.

And happy 22 seasons Nys

happy birthday nyke!

And because this is probably the wisest board i visit, i have a dilemna and would appreciate some input

Ok, long story short, I've been setting up a smash tournament for early april since november. Only recently people have started to complain about the price of travel to the area. I knew it was expensive but thats only compared to travel within london, which is dirt cheap. I would still have about 40 people come which is enough to cover expenses. At the time it was the only UK event organised.
But recently, Someone else posted a thread with a tournament in birmingham (the biggest city in england behind london) which is only a month after my date. It's going to be cheaper to get to and far larger than mine could hope to achieve. It's going to stop a good portion of people coming to mine because of how much more convenient it is. But mine is already set, All i need to do is pay for the venue (which i do in advance). I've already got all of the TV that i need and already advertised it in places.

The question is, Do i pull out and get away with no losses. Or do i continue with the event and put my trust in the community?

Tough decision.. honestly if it were me I'd not go to yours and go to the one that's cheaper.. Its hard for me to make time to go to multiple events frequently. If I had the freedom of going as much as I want, then I'd probably go to both.

So now, how many people are willing to go to both is the question.

 

[Heartstring]

I know, however after the events of the last one, and subsequently, all events i play a role in (which is everything since then) usually have a lot of people claiming to be booked, and then just not going

 

[Ussi]

How much money you lose last time? Cause if its pretty significant I'd probably cancel it and go to the tourney easier to go too. You could just change your advertisements to the other tourney and try to bring everyone to that one. Ask to cohost?

 

[Heartstring]

I lost about 60 pounds ($100) on the first one, However I originally had a lot more support for this one. It all depends on how much hiring the venue is going to cost me. The thing is, Getting to the other event alone is going to cost me the same amount i lost on the original tournament. It's a difficult choice. Plus if this does go as well as i planned and i get a small amount of money, i have funds for WHOBO

 

[Ussi]

Might as well host it then, just keep advertising it, but just keep in mind this is a gamble, you might lose money still.

Edit: if yOu host it, be confident, a host whose confident will make the event more enjoyable.

The Smash Community is terrible at RSVP'in. Meaning they can flip flop at any given moment. With that being said, you should be looking at the MINIMUM people guaranteed to come in order to see how you would stand financially. If you feel like some of the "maybes" will show up to cover the quota, then I would go through with it. If not, then not worth it.

And I will say, the more guarantees you have, the easier it makes to depend on some "maybes" showing up. For example, if you have 30 guarantees, you are relying heavily on 10 maybes to show up compared to having 39 guarantees and needing only one maybe.

 

[Senliten]

22 seasons? Happy 81 season is more like it.

let's just say 100 seasons, and call it a day. Seeing at 100 you'd obtain hermit status. Which he seems to have down pact XD

Yeah i learnt about smash and RSVP last time XD I'm running yugioh alongside it though, because theres one room with almost no power outlets XD Kids will come from the local high school (little brother said they have about 10 people who play it religously at lunchtimes, plus a few in the college section of the school) and cushion the costs.
Still, all depends on how the host goes

[Zatchiel]

Happy birthday, Nyke! My mobile attempted to autocorrect your nickname to "Nuke." I lost. Anyways, have a good one, mate!

SOPA and PIPA asked their bro for help

 

[san.]

Greedy corporations. The DLC slippery slope is enough thank you very much (yes I believe DLC is a slippery slope to day 1 DLC for content on disc, with content disabled for used game players).

Bad news though. The TV I play brawl on went to some weird default settings so it thinks it's in setup mode. Can't get to the video channel for games. I'll use this time to go through my steam backlog.

I did drop a class though since I was taking 21 credits.. now taking 17 which is manageable.

Happy birthday Nys from Texas.

 

[Ussi]

I've stopped buying games and moved onto MMOs.. right now i'm enjoying some league of legends... though its kinda boring just solo queing. I need to find people to que with.

 

[theeboredone]

Happy birthday Nys from Texas.

Not sure if in Texas...

 

[Teh Brettster]

Eh, I have a low level secondary account. I could play some with you and perhaps give pointers, Ussi.



San? "From Texas"?

 

[theeboredone]

On another note, if any of you guys have watched Entourage, you would know they do an episode where the main char, who is a big time actor ends up doing a Japanese commercial. Quite a popular thing in real life.

I would love pointers! For now i just use Annie and Xin Zhao.. Going to buy Gragas next once i get 1k more IP. Thinking of trying one of the champs available for free just to learn something. When do they change the free champs around? Cause if its not soon i'll probably try Cho out.

From the last good game i had (as in teams were evenly matched) i can gank but i'm too foolish and get ganked pretty easily myself.. And i sometimes get myself killed with poor positioning.. Just something i'll probably pick up with exp.

I've also learned while playing Xin Zhao, that range is definitely my style.

 

[Teh Brettster]

Free champ rotation is every week (or two? I hardly pay attention, lol).

I could give tips for both Cho and Gragas. I LOVE Gragas. And Cho is fun too.
Btw Gragas is not a tank in case you're wondering. Build him as a mage.

And I'll also tell you what sort of gameplay habits to pick up in order to prevent being ganked.

 

[Ussi]

Oh yea i know gragas is a AP mage/carry, when i found out he's got insane range and aoe i was like I'mma get this guy!! I'm hyped to play him. Been trying to play a lot to build IP.

Cho is free for now, so i though i'd try him as a tanky guy.

 

[Heartstring]

It seems like everyone plays LoL these days. I wish my computer could handle it....Or any other game for that matter

 

[Ussi]

I tried playing LoL on my school's internet and it was a miracle i could land kills, lol. I just play bots after that lagfest just to farm IP

 

[Teh Brettster]

Yeah, sometimes when I don't otherwise play, I'll just take 20 minutes to play a bot game for first win of the day IP.

 

[jamlosingthegame]

Ike boards LoL group? When we playing?

 

[Berserker Swordsman]

On the 13th of Neverember.

Be prepared.

 

[Heartstring]

I was in the process of finding a witty answer, but BS beat me to it

[Berserker Swordsman]

Thank you san, when I fail out of all of my classes due to lack of sleep and random screams in the middle of the night, I will think of you ^_^

Seriously though, first time I've ever experienced a webcomic doing that to create shock value, and I couldn't keep going (also have a paper to write, but meh).

 

[Blubolouis]

San, you're evil.

Good thing I read the first one earlier today. I won't have 2 heart attacks on the same day.
