SC -- SC, Where You Been!? -- Date: 3/13/10

[ImpactAR]

I want to hang out and play Brawl. Where is it going down at?

 

[0megaZer0]

Here I hope...if you all just wanna chill the thirteenth I'm fine with that

I personally don't care, whether money is wagered

 

[Lareit]

It amuses me how hard Devin and Snap are working towards sabotaging any chance of coming to some sort of terms of agreement with this. Considering both of them try to be active in the smash scene.

 

[Criosphinx]

I rated this thread 5 stars-the entertainment value is priceless.

I still don't understand why you guys can't just hang out and play Smash. Do you really need to wager money? That's a little silly.

Joe we're playing melee tomorrow.

 

[Juno McGrath]

khai sorry i couldnt get back to you on aim, i was at crios house playing melee.

if you wanna play brawl i dont really do much of that anymore. but anything else im down man. Talk to devin if you wanna play some brawl.

or come to this!

also AZ% just confirmed for this.

 

[0megaZer0]

I can't believe MLG is actually picking up Brawl...

I guess they finally had to at some point

~Nevermind, it's being based mostly off of online battles, which in shape or form shows your true skill...shame...MLG knows better....I'm ashamed of Sundace and the crew...

They know Wii WiFi sucks lol -- Meaning the best online guy will show up, and lose to people who play IRL, I can't wait to see videos of that shiz!

M2K, ADHD, Ally, and some others will automatically get Pro Status...it's no competition lol

 

[ImpactAR]

I'm about Brawl and BlazBlue. And some SF4. Let me know if you guys want to do some of that. I'm in Charlotte so not far from Rock Hill. So is something going on the 13th or not?

 

[0megaZer0]

Possibly, It looks like I'll be the only one bringing a T.V though lol

Pending the number of set-ups it's more a smashfest than a tournament lol

 

[Juno McGrath]

the best online player is Ally.

or ADHD.

 

[kackamee]

I'll bring a setup.

And actually Atomsk and HolyNightmare are pretty dominate at Online. So is an Olimar Dabuz. Ally and ADHD are still pro online, but maybe not the best.

 

[Black Mantis]

You guys have a date finally. Too bad I won't be able to make it. I'll definitely try to make the next one.

 

[0megaZer0]

I see they were able to take that and use it in offline matches...

But who else who plays online has their tournament experience?

 

[Juno McGrath]

So how many people do you need to show up to break even for the door DJ?

 

[0megaZer0]

Why do you keep asking me that, it doesn't matter

Nor do I care at the moment...

 

[Juno McGrath]

it matters to us who actually want this to be a success.

the answer determines mine and devins attendance.

 

[0megaZer0]

Why? Even if I don't break even...I'll make this happen again...whether or not you all care (no offense, that's just the vibe I'm getting)

Since I've done these, I've NEVER come close to breaking even

It really didn't matter then and It doesn't matter now lawl, but if you must know...

~Think! 2x12=What?~

 

[Juno McGrath]

And what would be breaking even??

 

[0megaZer0]

2x12...that would be breaking even. lol

 

[Juno McGrath]

24 bucks? thats how much it cost you to rent the theater...

HMM.....

 

[stingers]

$24 is such an odd price

 

[Juno McGrath]

it is an odd price for room rental. HMMMMMMM.

 

[0megaZer0]

Actually, it's $25 but $24 is close enough.

I mean one dollar is no big deal

$25 is an odd price...$24 is even

 

[Juno McGrath]

25 dollars is one quarter of 100 dollars.

 

[0megaZer0]

Yeah, it is.

100 Dollars is the amount of money it takes to fill up a Hummer

 

[Juno McGrath]

100 dollars.....

 

[kackamee]

So does that mean you and Devin are comming Snap?

 

[0megaZer0]

^^I know, I would like to know their stance on this as well, it's fine if they don't come^^

I mean, it's no big deal

 

[stingers]

100 dollars is one third of 300 dollars...

 

[0megaZer0]

300 Dollars is the amount of money it takes to buy a Playstaion 3!

If we can't be honest with each other, I'm skipping out on these.

A place to play, or not, I'm through putting money in DJ's pocket—I'm absolutely positive that I've more than paid mine and Bo's end of the deposit for the theater room.

————

Not too mention, you're allowed to enter singles for free, and at the last bi-weekly, I gave you the $5 you spent on doubles back—out of my winnings—because you asked.

Running tournaments isn't a job, you don't get paid for it—it should be done for fun, not profit.

If you're doing it for the latter, then not only are you taking advantage of the position you're in, but you're also taking advantage of us.

I would feel differently on the matter if things were upfront from the get-go—who cares if you pay for the room? I don't! But, be honest with the people that are there helping you.

A Guide to helping your community as a TO

You shouldn't be trying to make a profit from this, and you shouldn't have been forced to spend a large sum of money to set this up. Thus there should be no venue fee and you shouldn't be taking any money from the pot unless absolutely necessary.

If the tournament date hits and you get much more than expected and the venue fee gets you more than enough, don't keep the money for yourself! Yes, you are putting in a lot of work, but this isn't a paying job. You are doing this for your community, not your finances.

Also, once again, this is a small scale event, don't give in and spend a ton of money on the venue. No one will want to pay a venue fee for a small tournament.

For everyone who's confused, wants to know wtf this is about or simply disagrees with me—make sure you're aware of the full story before you get a big ****, i.e. cancellations, lies, Xbox360's, etc.

 

[0megaZer0]

oh, if thats the case...then, I'll stop playing...my bad all you had to do was say no

lol

I completely understand the situation and I apologize for that

Next time if I make a decision that may hurt my pocket...I won't re-*** on it

Gave you all the chances in the world to come out with it.

 

[kackamee]

I'm pretty confused. What lies and stuf are you guys really talking about?

 

[0megaZer0]

Oaky, first off~

I do pay for the room, and the venue fee is really to help me pay for the room next time. So this can happen again...I admit my personal life sometimes can be really irritating and I apologize for [in a way] irritating you all with it as I have been -- I'll refrain from doing that now on

Meaning as long as I'm able, I'll try to keep doing these. Take advantage of people!? No, never. I just want to have some fun. As in, people show up play and have a good time

But understand if I were to make no venue fee these would happen even less than they do now (as sad as I am to say that) because I don't have deep pockets ~ I am willing to, when I get money from leftover school cash, to make a free venue fee every now and then

In the end, you guys and these tournaments are all I have that keeps me from going crazy lol, I'm willing to do what it takes to keep these up and running effeciently

 

[0megaZer0]

I wish you had said something sooner and we could have addressed this.

I never meant for this to happen

I guessed I should have noticed that it did look like that and I should have addressed why. And, I should have re-assured you all it wasn't what you think it was

I don't/never planned on taknig advantage of anyone. I just wanted something to do with smash

And about the money...I never kept any of it...I would put in a jar specifically made for renting the room. Meaning, I had my own money and money to rent the room with (I.E. Venue Fee)

And because I NEVER broke even. I ALWAYS used some of MY OWN money to pay for the place. I will CONTINUE to do it as long as people are willing to come and have fun!

 

[zCasanova]

DJ, what are you talking about?

It's a $100 refundable deposit to rent the theater room.

Why does it cost you money? Are you not turning the key in on time, or something?

I know, for a fact, that you've accumulated more than $100 since the first tournament.

So, you're either spending the deposit money, which we've should've replaced by now, or still making **** up.

Like I said, I don't give a **** about a door fee, just be one-hundred with us.

Edit:

Matter-of-factly, I've offered to cover the entire cost of the room several times in order to make these consistent, if money was indeed the problem.

 

[Juno McGrath]

And we've known that for awhile, DJ.

We've just been waiting for you to come out and be honest with us.

 

[0megaZer0]

No, that rule is old. Very old.

The only time you have to pay that kind of cash is if the place gets destroyed like TRC house'

It used to be that way. But people tend to take care of the place so they changed that rule...BUT, that may be the deposit my MOTHER made to live in the complex as well. That I don't know of

 

[Juno McGrath]

DJ weve called the Place pretending to be adam.. Stop lieing to us.


Edit: we walked into the place with adam with intent to rent.

 

[0megaZer0]

Please explain? What were you told that I don't know? which is highly possible

I don't believe I'm lying. But, I would like to hear your side before I speak

Something may have not crossed my attention

I'm not trying to do anything wrong here- if I hear something from you that doesn't add up, I'll speak up

I want this to float smoothly
