[toasty]

also, make sure you tell him you're there like 20 minutes prior to your actual arrival. that way you'll only have to wait another 30 minutes for him to come to the gate with the military ID

[Pitzer]

I have a military Id..

 

[rhan]

yet when I wanna play either of these games, you are nowhere to be found...

Play tonight possibly? Though the reason is that I need more Toss practice then I do Zerg. Toss is a ****.. Zerg isn't as hard as them.

Pound 5 didn't have a turnout like Pound 4 for a few reasons.

[in no particular order]

1) Pound 4 was in 2010. There was no Genesis 2 waiting around the corner to steal away would-be attendees who were saving up for "this year's big tourney." IIRC, Apex2010 wasn't even announced until a little bit before Pound 4 so as not to conflict with interested parties.

2) Pound 4 was on MLK weekend...which is a national holiday that is observed by most establishments in the US. Presidents Day, on the other hand..... >_> As a result, people were considerably more available for Pound 4 than for Pound 5 [and not just for attending all 3 days, some people knowingly miss the 3rd day because they need it for travel, but at least they weren't missing a day of work/school for Pound 4]

3) Pound 5 was ****ing EXPENSIVE. Tourney/venue fees aside, the HOTEL was expensive. The need for people to not only reserve rooms at the Hyatt [for the sake of the tourney being a success] but to also NOT pack too many people into a room led to a few thing: People who weren't planning on bending the rules decided against spending $75-100 for a weekend of housing, which added considerably to the already-steep travel costs for so many. It also led to people, as it was mentioned, CANCELING. Now some people canceled because they simply couldn't attend, while others grouped together and canceled their individual rooms thinking "**** that, we'll just put 12 people in one room even though the limit is 4"

4) Because it bears repeating: Genesis 2.

Pretty much. Poor planning and unexpectancy resulted in terrible idea.

I have a military Id..

I have a DEP card.

I wanna meet you Xavier Rythos. I ship off to boot camp in June and I'm just talking to a bunch of people that are in the Navy about their experience and how their life has been since their initial join.

[The_Doug]

Rhan about a dozen of my friends joined the Navy back just after 9/11. Interesting story about the time I went to the recruitment office too. I've also had a couple of different Navy housemates in VA, and work with Navy technicians sometimes in Portsmouth. Never knew you were serious about joining; I'll strike up a conversation with ya at some point.

Also there is a possible smashfest at CNU today. Awaiting confirmation from Shaden.

 

[GHNeko]

[Pitzer]

Damn that sucks.

 

[GHNeko]

Pretty much meaning I'll be free only on weekends, unless people like hanging in the morning on weekdays loooooooooool.

[rhan]

Xavier, I want to try P:M.
You dun have a ride, though, do you? I currently don't have one either.

 

[Laijin]

Hey SoVA, MD/VA has some power rankings and apparently all of you guys are a part of it even though we never play you guys, etc etc..
Please post your thoughts here:

[rhan]

Can someone bring a TV to the fest today? Like desperate need of one.

 

[GHNeko]

Xavier, I want to try P:M.

My friend comes over on the weekends and he's typically my ride when I go places.

 

[toasty]

Neko does that mean you have to work tomorrow?

If not, I might be able to play...consider this as "I can't play tomorrow" for now in case you have other plans come up or whatever, but I just want to know if you would be available in case I am

 

[GHNeko]

I'm not working on weekends.

ever.

 

[Laijin]

Toasty wtf you live in VA?

 

[thesage]

Look at his location...

 

[Laijin]

I was under the impression he was perma-GA

 

[rhan]

Until he got Roach rushed..

 

[GHNeko]

sweet

Toasty wtf you live in VA?

haha yeah just moved back in September...back to where I was born n raised

I was under the impression he was perma-GA

**** didn't go so well down there =/

Look at his location...

hence the question...or else it would have been "what are you doing in a SoVa thread?" Stop being dumb, Max
But yeah, for as long as Laijin and I have been acquainted, it was through smashers in da souf =) Laijin is originally from there and when he "met" me through other southerners, I was already a GA staple...meanwhile, me moving back to VA wasn't exactly "news" on Smashboards XD

 

[SchoolieDee]

BACK IN SOVA!

fest was cool as crap, we had a blast

 

[thesage]

Hey guys, Richmond is going to start having smashfests every friday starting the 25th. It'll be at VCU so we'll have plenty of space.

 

[GHNeko]

What time and address? May be interested.

 

[Laijin]

Yea. So get off my **** sage.

 

[toasty]

Hey guys my cousin is having a moving sale...

TV and stand for $50 bucks. It's a 32" standard def Sony TV with no problems [and this dude's a hardcore gamer so he's quite particular about his setups]

He also has a similarly large standard def RCA TV that's $30, with no stand

 

[thesage]

I need those for the vcu smash club. If I hold a tournament in the next month and use the venue fee to pay for it, can I buy those tvs?

 

[AlcyoNite]

smash club? as in, the melee scene in va will be expanding ??

 

[toasty]

I doubt the TVs will still be available by then...Ether has already reserved the TV with the stand.

All that remains is a 32" RCA that someone in the SoVa Melee FB Group has shown interest in...but it's still available for $30

of course if it IS still available then, of course you can get it

 

[thesage]

Yea, I'll let you guys know how the first official meeting goes. The first one was just seven people, but I posted it up the day before and it was the day when spring break started so everybody wasn't here lol. Still managed to get 8 people. 2 were ones I hadn't played before though so =/

There's apparently mini smashfests going on in the dorms all the time. I'm trying to unite all of richmond into one smash scene and then extending that to all of Va.

 

[SpeedYoshi]

7 people sounds like a pretty good turnout, especially since it sounds like TR didn't show

 

[Ether]

Hey guys, Richmond is going to start having smashfests every friday starting the 25th. It'll be at VCU so we'll have plenty of space.

Is this going down this Friday?
