The Louisiana Thread: Flarefox Forever - We are alive.

[Hyro]

...I guess no one realizes this, but check his username. It's still yellow. He has no power. He's simply reporting posts which everyone can do. So if anything he's just being an ******* lol. But it's not like he's on some power hungry rampage XD

 

[eet]

nah hes been using sudais name to infract people, which is pretty against the overall mod rules but what do I care. Lol I think its funny

 

[Arcadia]

Mocha has Arc's support.

 

['V']

If people knew how to keep a thread at least halfway decent, this wouldn't have to happen. Seriously, guys... Tone it down please.

Thought he said he's done doing that

I'm doing it less. And Sudai said he'd even infract for me on some occasions.

 

[-Ran]

I'm thinking about making a Facebook group for us. It'd be an easy way to post events, etc. Also so much easier to post on a phone with.

I went ahead and created the group. Louisiana Smash.

[bsltiger]

You guys and your nifty little facebooks....

Great idea ran. Does this mean the thread can go back to ****, since there is an "Official Tourney/Event Thread" aka facebook group? Or is the facebook group for the social part? Not that I like ****ty threads or anything....

Edit: what is an advanced slob pick?

 

[-Ran]

The Facebook is to save people time that don't care to read the thread that we have. It's all about posting events and information. Everyone please join it. I'm going to admin enough people from the various areas so that any event/info that needs to be posted will be easily done. I find facebook infinitely easier to check on my phone as well.

 

[bsltiger]

I don't have a facebook for one, so I can't join. Anything that will go on the group will also be here, right?

So... What if I try to get a tourney at LSU for the first week of November?

What I think it will require:
1: Ask around and find possible venues/halls to hold one.
2: For those that can hold one, find dates they would be available.
3: Choose one.
4: Keep in touch with that person to make sure everything is secure.
5: Posters/ads galore!
6: Get a signup list for attendance/what people can bring.

Is this about right? I'll start with the Broussard Hall's lobby and the "Aquarium" room next to it. After that, where else could we hold one? The Union?

 

['V']

Gary and I are looking into the Union actually since they use to hold Street Fighter tourneys there for the summer.

[bsltiger]

Disregard. I thought he said controller.

 

[Curlz]

I joined the Facebook group. I don't normally check my groups often so am I going to miss anything if I don't check it?

This thread still sux

You were supposed to show me some Lucas tricks. What happened to that?

He quit a long time ago. And he was never pressured into coming back also, so he just stayed gone, something that I'm actually proud of him for. Pierre's awesome.

So... should I add events that aren't in hosted LA to the calendar so that people would be interested in going to OoS tourneys? Example: HOBO 20?

That'd be pretty cool IMO.

 

[Sudai]

I think you should, V. Calendar could be a kind of "Events we want to go to" thing. Of course all LA events would be up there.

I'd just make sure people know if things are on conflicting dates.

 

[Pritch]

I'm just going to say one thing, then I'm going to leave.

I think you're getting a little power-hungry, here, Mocha. I understand that you mean well, but don't let the power get to your head. In no time, you could end up being someone everybody hates.

For the record, I'm totally behind vaughn here. This thread has been pretty ridiculous lately, it could use someone actually giving a rat's ***.

Cool. Though I'm not gonna go all around the boards looking for possible tourneys for people to go to. I just know tourneys like HOBO are the ones that LA people like to go to, so I figured I'd give them a heads up.

If you guys find a tourney, just post it here and I'll add it to the calendar.

And yay supporters!!

 

[-Ran]

Hey Vaughn, add a link to the Facebook page on the first page. Maybe hint on it in our title for a few days too. =v

When would this be? Cuz I plan on making one sooner than later, which is why I was aiming for Novmber 7.

Is anyone from NO doing anything this weekend? I know Arc and Hyro are out, but what about you other guys? Batto, Jio, Ran?

And what about Blaine?

 

[-Ran]

At the moment I don't have anything planned for this weekend.

 

['V']

If we actually do end up getting it, it'll most likely be around the 3rd weekend of the month, just like the Gameware monthlies, only we could actually try to get it on a Saturday. By all means if you can get a place for the 7th, go ahead. It'll be good for you guys.

I've added HOBO 20 to the calendar and the link to the facebook page near the top of the OP. It shouldn't be hard to find.

 

[FakeGeorge]

Justin, I know one potential problem with holding events on campus happens when you collect money. Basically, if you hold an event on campus and take money, then you have to pay taxes/ fess, and rental fees of rooms in the Union go way up (i.e. they're there). I think this rule is for when the organization collects money as a for-profit kind of thing, which is what a tournament is not.

Depending on how this issue would work out, we can use Tiger Uppercut to get a room in the Union for free, for a whole day. If we have to pay taxes/ fees (because we collect a registration fee), then it probably wouldn't be worth it unless it's a large event.


Also, anyone else in Baton Rouge need a ride to Laffy Saturday? I'm leaning towards just going for Brawl, but it's still in the air.

There's a tourney in Laffy but my friend is comin down for the weekend. I might swing by for a minute.

 

[Sudai]

I agree. I kind of tried for a while. Had more fun semi-trolling after a while though. I won't troll while someone's actually trying to make something of the thread though. <3 V. :]

That's basically exactly what I meant, V. Haha. I wouldn't ask you to go all over the boards looking for things other people might be interested in. You're already doing more for the thread than I want you to do and I'm fairly confident you know why.

</hint: TOO NICE!>

 

[Blaino]

I'm pretty sure I'll be heading up to Laffy this Saturday, need to get some kind of practice in so I don't suck too bad.

 

[Bomber7]

Thinking of going to Gameware(mall) Friday after school. You know just to chill and I also have $4 that kinda bothers me that I have so I figure I should use it at a cool place like Gameware and the arcade. Either that or I can use it towards the egg or toon link plush that I have had my eye on since I was last there. Regardless I'm just throwing that out there if anyone wants to come hang out.

On a side note, it's a little over a week until Voodoo Smash and I'm hoping to see as many of y'all there as possible. If you plan on coming and you have a table that you can bring let me know. So far I'm pretty sure I have one somewhere I can bring and I know Vaughn said he's try to get Nick's if he wasn't coming.

*pending announcement* When I went to the Chinese Inn I noticed a lack of outlets so what RJ and I will do is bring extension chords to help spread the set ups along the wall of the room. I figure that would help some, have an extension chord to a power strip and then have the other end to another power strip. I don't think we will need more than 2 (which will already be provided by me and RJ), but if it looks like we may need one or two more, I just want to keep you guys who are coming/pending/whatever, that we might need at most one or two more extension chords. Though I highly doubt it.

 

[Sudai]

TL;DR - Just get more extension chords if you can. lol (skip the rest if you don't wanna read about power strips)

You should probably look to get a few more extension chords that way you don't have to do power strip to power strip connections. While not super risky, it is an electrical and a fire hazard and if you short the place out or burn it down they probably wouldn't want you back, especially if it's the latter of the two. ;]

 

['V']

I've got an extension chord and some power strips if you need them. Also I'll probably be at Gameware as well playing some game on their FC Twin like always, so yeah.

Being at Gameware and the extension chords+power strips: cool :D

I just got offered a Youtube Partnership! I can make money off of my Flying Pikachu Video.

I'm reading over the contract and I don't completely understand.

Guidelines on videos you can submit for revenue sharing
You should own all rights to the video!

o Do not monetize:

What does "monetize" mean and would I get in trouble for copyright by using this video?

Given the way they worded, I assume they mean don't steal anything. If you used something someone else made, then get their permission or something. That's what I gathered anyway.

So would I have to get permission from Nintendo to use a Pokemon video?

It's complicated. BrentalFloss, a guy that makes a ton of Song parodies based on Nintendo songs doesn't even have it enabled. He's trying to work with youtube to figure out what needs to happen.
