Come earlier if you want, he should be gone before then. Charles and Al are coming earlier anyways.

Edit: good to hear about Thomas. :)

Edit 2: He's done with the door. Come whenever.

Looking pretty good! You've got a lot of players in Niagara btw. Compared to here, haha.

Edit: Actually, I've been wondering if we should make a facebook page or something...

You'd be surprised how many stagnant Melee players are in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. It's all about creating something static and consistent to interest people back. I haven't created an FB page but I will be soon.

I wanna come visit Ottawa again. Anyone willing to house provided I pay for my food / a fee for utilities?

Im sure someone would be willing to do that for you, but we're kind of dead right now...
You might want to wait until we're a bit bigger and more stable. It's only recently that I've started playing again. It might take a while before that happens if it happens at all...

So how interested would everyone here be in attending a Canadian national in St.Catharines for Melee? It will attempt to include the majority of small communities which exist throughout our nation in clusters from province to province. I have a large venue with a 200+ capacity that I can rent for a mere $200 daily including bar to purchase soft drinks or alcoholic beverages with ID. This means that the day is covered from 20 individuals paying their venue fees allowing us to divert the excess funds from venue fees into a pot bonus to either extend who places within the money or increase the earnings of those who win.

Considering that it's a beachside venue I would aim to have this run Mid-End of July. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Hmmm...

Is this Melee only or will there be other games?

Maybe, but I'm not sure. We'd need to figure out a lot if we wanted to go.

lol

I don't think whether we would go or not would have an impact on it anyways.

Should we still be making a Facebook page? If so who wants to do it? I don't mind doing so. I'm not really sure how much it would help though...

Edit: Not sure how it should look either. I'll figure it out.

Get a subreddit going, and then once that picks up (10 subscribers sounds nice), make a Facebook page.

Start getting media of our events (photos, videos, sound clips, etc) and post them to tumblr under the tags "#ssbm #smash bros #ottawa" and that should raise some more awareness. Make a blog just for Smash Ottawa and have details on its page about what we are and when we hang out.

I would except my reddit account is being held on solely by cookies, so I can't commit to anything with it and can't make an alt for it.

I forgot the password and never set an email.
