Squash is going to be tomorrow (Sunday) and we'll meet either at 9 or 9:30 depending on the time Harold has to work. Its uncertain whether Mike will come or not at this point so expect the regular price.

Orlando: Mike is good for tomorrow morning. So, tomorrow, we meet up at Lincoln Fields at around 9:30 or so, quickly go to Mike's apartment (right beside Lincoln Fields), pick him up (or perhaps I'll just tell him to meet us as Lincoln Fields, now that I think about it), bus over to Goodlife, have the best squash games of our lives, go home/work.

The MK ban is becoming very serious. Lets see what happens next, maybe Falcon will come out of last.

Well, it can't happen here in Ottawa until we've experienced first-hand a one-sided Metabeatdown. Something nobody has been able to do yet. Moses, chop, chop! Get to it! Hell, if anything, Ottawa should consider banning Marth.

Hahha, true everyone at least secondaries Marth in Ottawa .

New Orleans banned Meta Knight for risk of his Tornado being used like a hurricane. /luls
But yeah XD Marth ban ftw (no, not srsly)

About recording matches:
There's a code for homebrew that allows replays longer than three minutes to saved. I tested it on a four minute match, and it worked. If anybody has a video capture card and can connect their Wii to it, we can save the replays to an SD card and whoever wants to capture/edit them can take the replays home. It'll definitely save the trouble of someone bringing a PC and having to edit down a giant video.

and now some boring math for those wanting to go to niagra! (here's to you mike!)
$ 236.25 CAD Total
is what it will cost to rent a 7 person mini-van from noon on the 7th (friday) until noon on monday (10th)
added on to that is the mileage limit... $ = (traveled - 600) * .2 which means 1 dollar per 5 km we go over 600... but it's 559 km one way (from my house) which means it'll be $120 more to go there and back...
the gas mileage on the van is 10.203449 kilometers per litre, so we'll use approx $130 in gas (1.20 / L assumption) and assuming we don't dilly-dally in the city too much... lets round that up to 175 'cause it'll be a full car
so in total, that's ~$535 total, so split 7 ways just over $75 each for transportation ($76.43)
tourney entrance fee will be 25 each so that's 100 for everything but food... assume 50 bucks for food each (possible to go under, but definitely also to go over) and we're looking at:
~$150 for a friday-sunday vacation
this is also assuming that we can leave at noon on friday
I also have been in talks with niko a bit and i know there will definitely be some festivities going on around the tourney (friendlies friday night, partying saturday night) so you can factor that in too
so yeah... I don't want to end up having people need to back out the day before due to money john's... i looked around and really this is the cheapest... obviously if someone has a van this would be _way_ cheaper but alas I don't think anyone does
i'm done doing math now

Also: That cost goes down if someone over 25 rents it in their name. I'm still willing to drive.
I'm in for the costs. Think of it this way: Once Ben, Orlando, and I take 3rd, 2nd, and 1st respectively we're likely to make close to $1,500. Factor in doubles, and our cut only goes up. This is an investment opportunity, people.
Also, not only will I be taking that weekend to attend a big smash tourney, but party with one of my great friends (you may have kind of met her, that day she attended) and a dormful of her female roommates. Deal = sealed. Plus smash after party Sat? Done and done.

As per Mike's request (well, and me stupidly posting in the wrong thread), just thought I'd say "yo guys". Hopefully I can get into this, and eventually I'll probably be able to help some people in the area out with stuff, or at the very least just help Mike with gas money or a means to transport stuff.

Okay guys, this is Tyler. He's an old war buddy of mine. Last time I played him he played Falco and Wario, which is a startling coincidence. And yeah. He may come to a smashfest in the upcoming days, provided it's alright with Cam.
LivewiresXe
Smash Hero
Actually, funny thing is, since we played, I've been practicing with Fox primarily. I've done some Falco practicing too, with a little bit of Bowser and one or two Wario games. And yeah, if it's alright with him, we should be good.

I am going to three stock you twice this coming bi-weekly for your insolence!
On a less serious note, can we get a list of people who are coming along in the van and such? There's PNDMike, Orlando, Ben, myself... who else? Also, will the van only hold 7 people max? More people = less gas.
PND
Smash Champion
Are we talking legally or spatially? I'm pretty sure the van can hold about 9-10 people if we cram >_> Not sure on the legality of that, though.
LivewiresXe
Smash Hero
Well, if it's anything like my van you could fit 7 people with seats alone, and probably like 3 behind the back seats, and some small people under the seats.
PND
Smash Champion
I think we're talking cargo van. Minivan would work too, it'd just be mega cramped.

That depends, I mean, they fit some insane number of people in a Volkswagen beetle that one time, didn't they?
