Hey this location was great, would Deakin allow this place to be used during uni semesters?

Deakin is probably the easiest Uni to book rooms through, as far as time and freedom go as I understand. You'd still have to book through a Uni club though.

The venue was a lot of fun and there is something to be said about smaller more relaxed events. That said, on the non smash side of things, there was a lot of equipment that went unused, and we feel like for a little more effort than monthlies, we can do a lot more.

I hate to add a sour note, but it was the biggest downer of the day... getting you guys to pay the $5 group collection was like pulling teeth. When calling out to collect money on two occasions I had a total of 6 people approach me, and most of you I had to chase down for it. I'm fine with people genuinely being forgetful but there are a few of you who I have to approach every single time. I really don't want to spend a large part of my day tapping people on the shoulder and saying 'excuse me.'

Cheers to the two guys who stuck their hands up when the food arrived out of honesty, but anyone else who hadn't paid at that point and did eat... you guys aren't my favourite people right now.


I'm not going to point fingers though, and I'm happy to leave it there. To change the topic, it looks like we may be able to get the Curtin either the 8th or 15th of Feb, with what is probably just a relaxed event (may not be part of ranbat season).

Also, CW Annual General Meeting is coming up this Saturday, where we'll be voting in the important positions for the year and deciding what direction we should be heading. You guys make up about half of the people coming to the events, but there is a serious lack of representation from here. Please come, even if you aren't willing to volunteer your time to organising, your feedback is still valuable and having all groups sharing discussion is much better than the odd remark on forums.

Details
Date: Saturday the 24th of January
Time: 2:00PM
Place: University of Melbourne, on the tables outside Union House

[Shaya]

Back in sydney.

Was a really nice trip. CAO definitely always makes everything awesome.

Dekar, man, Marth dittos in Brawl is the gayest match up in the universe. Really. I didn't feel good playing the way I did in those matches.

Jei - ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh <3, hope to play you again soon.

Cobalt - Striking them down, one at a time, next time It'll be Meta, then what? You know what happened to Snake and D3 . Congrads on winning, you're definitely one of the coolest kats in the melbourne scene.

Chris - Shame we didnt get to play much, next time, ja? Still, CPn Snake on me - talk about ittttttttttttttt

Mic - thanks to CAO we didnt get to sleep as much as we wanted to, let's publicly **** him forever.

Crown Casino - thanks for helping me buy movie tixets yesterday.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAm - SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmmmmmmmmmmm ENUMA ELISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! srsly Ill buy a PS2 if I can get one cheap soon. I'll show you my top tier Gilgamesh (I havn't even played the game, but Gilgamesh fanboys always lose win).

The melee peeps - :O Are you guys better than Dekar? He's pretty good ;_;. Emily did seem to enjoy watching brawwwwwwwwwwl finals though. And scary DDR goodness...

Broomers - Nice to meet all of you (Blazey, Ashley, mini mic); Blazey with such an awesome cane and top hat you don't need to worry about gambling .

In closing, I had a great time not playing smash, should not play smash more often :D

Also;

I SWEAR TO FRIKKAAN GAWD THAT STAR WAS MOOOVINGGGGGGGG


P.S. who came 7th/8th in brawl singles?

I LOL'd at the 3rd photo of Cobalt. Casual = PWNAGE.

Dekar - Pro
Shaya - totally cheated rofl

 

[TakFR]

I look stupid in all of the photos lol

 

[S.D]

I look stupid in all of the photos lol

Your hair doesn't <3

 

[kupo]

Ashley is sooooo hawt! :3

haha nice pics! I never saw the smoking pipe o_o

@Shaya: Yea brawl was actually enjoyable to watch. Although I'm sorta sad that i missed quarter finals but seeing cobalt and chris play would probably be on the same side for Melee...excluding the technical side part [as in, they played very carefully and smart. Say if one were to screw up, the other would die/deal high damage]. Very good match to watch!

I still havent seen modded brawl... =/

 

[Vyse]

That's an awesome collection of photos.

Makes me want to blow half a grand on a G9 or something nice.

Can't afford a DSLR

 

[Shaya]

Just to make sure, it was IceK? who CAO knocked out to land him in 7th/8th place, and Jei who knocked out either Jared (I'm not sure who he is or who he uses) or Redact?

 

[Dekar289]

jei knocked out jared
jared put redact into losers

all i know

 

[MikulOnIce85]

@ Syke: Good to see you, I get the feeling that you were holding back/warming up when we played. Hope to play you again sometime.

@Dekar: Share the up b love!

@Emily: My falcon won't be banned, come back and talk after your sheik is banned ok? ;p

@Mic: This Bowser won't die so easily! Mwa hahaha.

In all a good time was had, pity that I couldn't stay longer. Next time.

 

[CAOTIC]

Thanks for the memories, it was a very nice tournament.

Back in sydney.

Was a really nice trip. CAO definitely always makes everything awesome.

Definetly. The trip wouldn't have been anywhere as fun if I was staying at a hotel or anything. Cao, you are "dah man." Though your ability to fall asleep while zombies are running amok concerns me some. Good thing the zombie apocalypse doesn't arrive until june isn't real!

Mic - thanks to CAO we didnt get to sleep as much as we wanted to, let's publicly **** him forever.

Crown Casino - thanks for helping me buy movie tixets yesterday.

Seriously. Who the heck gets up at 6 8 in the morning? These Melbournites are crazy. and mad props on the Blackjack. Shame the dealer switched otherwise you'd have won more. (And I might not have lost my 20 bucks)

Blazey: If the BRoomies ever go ahead, I know who's up for nomination of Most Distinguished

@Mic: This Bowser won't die so easily! Mwa hahaha.

I'll get you next time gadget! Next tiiiiiiime!

 

[CAOTIC]

I SWEAR TO FRIKKAAN GAWD THAT STAR WAS MOOOVINGGGGGGGG

awww, hellz no! hahahahaha

mic, you forgot to bring your black swan back to perth. it's hella ******** ~ HONK. <3

[Mic_128]

[Get that Rat]

Spoilers

Dekar is a spoiler

Shoutouts (only cuz dekar did them first)

Dekar- Hi

Chris- That MK of yours is just too good. Thanks for teaming with me.

Shaya- Stop forcing me to pull out more characters out of my *** just to beat you! Good luck getting past my MK though

Dekar #2: Your overconfidence after your first match vs Shaya made you lose.

Jei - omg you're right we haven't played each other since August. That's like 1,2,3,4.....10 months ago!

Cao- orsm tournament as usual. Too bad the number of participants weren't that high

X- Congrats on taking first place. You deserved it.

IceK- Thanks for dropping me off at the train station. It saved me a ton of time and trouble.

Shaz- Man that Ike of yours gets more manlier every time I vs him. I wonder why

Aled(?)- You don't get my respect for being a planker.

Tibor(?)- Cool stuff. Your Diddy was all over the place against my Falco. I look to the left and see a naner thrown at me. I look to the right and I see your Diddy in my face.

Redact/Em/Forte/Mikul: I hadn't played Melee in 2 months and actually gave up playing it completely. But after playing pros like you people my love for Melee came back. Thanks!


Overall this tournament was blah blah blah what Jei said.
