strongside keeping it real
trust me, they'll make a lot more than just $100.00.. people are soo melee deprived, i guarantee we'd have MD, VA, PA, NJ, Midwest, and New England support
Jfox - thats another problem. bum works at w2z now, if he convinces them to kill our ONE shot at a melee tournament, we're ****ed
bum doesnt care...honestly...he likes both
look if you wanna know how much it truely is ( i worked there for a year ) here it is
to close off the upstairs area is about 1000-1200 for possible costs ...that means that they can make that money just by not moving a single thing and keeping everything as is.
Now if you take the tv's upstairs you also close the downstairs area bringing that cost up to about 1500-2000...now this may change due to the fact that w2z is indeed going out of biz and is closing soon so they may not care.
Point taken about the over 100 but lets look at this correctly
lets give a small but reliable number of 50 people for singles and 25 for teams...lets also say its 10 for each.
500 singles
500 doubles
40 % of that to the store is
200 singles
200 doubles
Total being = 400 to the store.
Remind yourself that w2z is not a ****ty little small gaming store it is a HUGE place in MANHATTAN...400 still is not so much.
Vanz I know you think you can get 100 people but even at Melee's high point it was a number that I barely got and your connections to certain people is not that amazing.
I am NOT saying it cannot happen but for safe reasons I feel a good start to having BOTH communities is to do it through the weeklies at first
Doubles brawl + Doubles Melee
Singles Brawl ( too many people for now so it has to be on its own )
Doubles brawl + singles Melee
That is the best Idea IMO for now until I speak with Plank and them myself about melee.
As for now I would not take your word for granted cause I have had people go there and talk to them and they would say "ya maybe" and things would not change and no offense to Vanz...I DOUBT They would start with you.
I, however, in talking with the manager Matt, have a steady relationship with him. But I will tell you right now that soon we will be charging for spectators again because it is not fair for ANYONE to go there for free and play.
Ya that means melee people who do not enter but also random kids who come and play brawl friendlies.
Solution? -- simple...what I stated above to keep everyone happy. That is the solution that will work best and that will come out better in the end.
Anyways I am off to work if people want text me 646 842 0950
