The *Official* Pittsburgh Melee Weeklies Thread of the LoL WoW Love

[pockyD]

taki i've told you at least 14 times to CHANGE THE FIRST **** POST

people keep calling me wondering why the weeklies aren't happening

 

[takieddine]

i'm trying to edit the first post, but the edit button won't load up the editing page for some reason...

 

[Nakamaru]

So what are these cables you speak of?

 

[pockyD]

is there any interest in going to super champ combo? (end of september in california)

plane tickets are currently about 150 per person

or if we drive to columbus and fly skybus, it's like 20 per person (plus driving costs of course though)

 

[__HARM__]

i am going to ohio.

 

[pockyD]

like right now, this weekend, that weekend, or forever?

 

[__HARM__]

the tournament the 21st

I'd be absolutely thrilled to attend do this. I find that price pretty **** hard to believe. Those tickets round-trip? Does the plane have wings?

I'm definitely going to check this out, because this would be an awesome trip. Thanks for pointing it out.

yeah sept is like off peak time of year plus we're 2 months(roughly) ahead. they acn easily be @ regular prices in about a month in a half or so, so i say that we decide about this relatively soon. yahyuz another mlg!!

 

[A-Laon]

I've looked around regarding Skybus and I don't know where anybody is finding $20 tickets. Could somebody show me / give me a link?

 

[pockyD]

i failed to read

it's 75/person from skybus

 

[A-Laon]

That's disappointing.

Going to have to figure out money for for this, or if it's even worth it.

 

[A-Laon]

****ing edit ain't workin' again.

I've been looking around on Skybus and the cheapest total cost I can find is still $246 ($100 ticket to Cali, $125 ticket back, plus tax). Haven't found $75 tickets anywhere.

 

[pockyD]

what gives

even at 75 dollars it's not worth driving 6 hours anyway, i would just fly from pittsburgh

 

[SwiftBass]

agreed, flying seems better

 

[A-Laon]

I did a number of searches on Expedia and Travelocity. I'll probably keep looking, but so far I've found at least one fairly ideal flight:

Delta Airlines departing from Pittsburgh International on Friday, Sept. 28th at 1:30pm, making one stop in Atlanta, GA, and arriving in Ontario, CA (a little less than 20 miles from San Bernardino) at 8pm. We'd return Monday, Oct. 1st, departing at 6am, stopping in Salt Lake City, UT, and returning to Pittsburgh at 4pm.

$234 round-trip, including all taxes and fees.

I would have just linked you all, but it won't allow me, so if you want to see the details yourself, just search Pittsburgh, PA to Ontario, CA on those dates and you should find it.

 

[pockyD]

the things i found on orbitz were $196 per person (northwest airlines), transfer in detroit

departure is basically 9 pm leave pitts, 1 pm arrive LA, so that's 7 hours

return is mad flexible; same price for both sunday and monday, though maybe leaving at night and arriving in the morning

$196 round trip? That's **** hot. I'll check out Orbitz.

Also, typo -- did you mean 9pm to 1am or 9am to 1pm?

 

[Nakamaru]

So when is this tournament? I might be able to attend, but money might be really tight.

 

[A-Laon]

Sept. 29th-30th, though you'll probably need to free up the 28th-1st for travel time.

 

[pockyD]

9 a.m. - 1 p.m.

apologies

 

[__HARM__]

zelda is the best character in the game

 

[D20]

I'm the best character in the game.

 

[A-Laon]

See? We can't even maintain a tournament discussion for a day without somebody firing up the spam.

Pokemon was better.

 

[Nakamaru]

So can we get some orginization to this weekends tournament? Like who is available to drive, and who is going as a definate.

 

[A-Laon]

wouldnt concern me cause i wont be there for it)

something!.
-thanks

 

[__HARM__]

ok i'll clear it all up @_@ @_@ ...................@@_@/..........>?>)_+)_+@!#$ @_@

 

[A-Laon]

Evan wins.

Weeklies are back in business courtesy of the Duquesne Commuter Lounge. They probably won't remain here after summer, though.

MCC, Naka, etc. are going to an Ohio tourney on the 21st -- this upcoming weekend. We're also going to win.

On Sept. 8th, El Komo is holding a PA tourney / fest at a gaming center in Lancaster to try to attract all of PA so each side of the state is familiar with the other players.

Another MLG event is being held in San Bernardino, CA on Sept. 29-30th. We're trying to attend to meet / play with the West Coast scene.

Hope that helps. >_> @_)+_++@(>_><_<@@_@

 

[ReadySetGo]

Yeah I'll clear it up some more, I got an Adamant Heracross on my third egg, and an Adamant Beldum on my eighth egg.



In other news I be wantin' to smash today. Taki and Alan you should teleport to my house and Rob and Evan can drive over.

 

[takieddine]

I'm @ Duquesne if you want to pick me up Matt. ( I have only enough to go home on the bus, and don't wanna get lost without money )

also i maxed out Ev's on my team, now to just level them up.

 

[A-Laon]

We seriously doing something? If it's definite, I might be able to get to Duquesne if somebody could pick me up and drop me back off later.

 

[Nakamaru]

depending on how late my art lesson goes, i might be inclined to come.

Is there any possible way i could get a seat to the ohio tourney this weekend?

 

[A-Laon]

Just ask Evan (seeing as he's supposedly driving). We should still have 2 seats left, ***** seat included.

 

[takieddine]

So i need to know if something's up before I go home... call me...

 

[Na!l]

Taki can make it without money, he just has to scam an old lady (again) Smash at dequesne friday?

 

[A-Laon]

The time for bashing Taki regarding Colver is long gone. We'll just need to wait for something new to make fun of him for.

Yes, Duquesne should be on this Friday. I'll be bringing a small TV, but somebody else will need to bring a cube / game / mem card. Let's try not to have a shortage of systems like last week.

 

[DoubleAced]

What day and time do these happen?

 

[A-Laon]

Start about 3pm on Friday at the Duquesne Commuter Lounge.
