6:30 at my place. 201 E healey # 31. It's at 2nd and healey. Still don't have a second tv. Don't bring yours if its flat screen tho because i already have one of those in addition to the non-laggy tv

I live at 3rd and healey!

 

[bertbusdriver]

smash at my place at 7:30 tonight. goolick and jack confirmed.

 

[sirlaser]

What started as a cold turned out to be bronchitis Probably won't be able to do anything until next week.

 

[Dew Rag]

i might be free this weekend. As in sat? noon - afternoonish?

any melee takers?

btw ripple, I've heard about you from 5150 and big D from a long *** time ago, I wants to play you

 

[Battlecow]

Yo- me and Firo (one of the top 3 ness mains in North America, arguably the world, CS major) are gonna play some 64 this weekend as soon as one of us gets a TV. Anyone want in?

 

[TuxingtonIII]

@Dew Rag -- sounds neato

@Battlecow wut 64? Maybe.. I can imagine getting bored in a couple games though -- never played or seen competitive 64 (and no, my computer has a magical barrier that prevents me from looking them up on YouTube)

 

[Battlecow]

competitive 64 is to competitive melee as competitive melee is to competitive brawl.

MORE combos, MORE edgeguards, MORE balance

OK maybe not but it's still magical and wonderful. PLUS you can play online for real.

 

[Dew Rag]

anyone up for sat smash around noon?

 

[sirlaser]

Now that my Bronchitis is almost better, yes. Sat. @ noon?

 

[bertbusdriver]

jack and i are in for melee.

i can't believe you're trying to make this argument charlie. it is sweet though.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

\o/ 2 people I don't think I've met yet.

Place? I would offer mine, but it's actually pretty bad for melee without a whole lot of rearranging (couch too far away, slightly laggy TV, etc).

I do have Smash Bros 64 on my Wii Virtual Console, so if Battlecow's that determined...

 

[TuxingtonIII]

If there's nothing worked out by then, anyone interested can give me a ring/chirp-de-derp (those with sleuthing skills can find my number earlier)

 

[Dew Rag]

anything? rofl

 

[TuxingtonIII]

I'm still ok with anything this weekend (and we have monday off too?) I'd prefer later in the day -- but midday's ok if I have a heads-up. Since it's not going to be *as* ridiculously hot, my apt may be able to sustain more people if no one else has got a place.

The insignia for the American Academy of Actuaries is a Triforce.

I discovered this when I went to the website to look at the actuarial code of conduct to answer a dumb question for the FAP interim assessment, which is dumb.

 

[Battlecow]

64 at my place on monday. Carl+David (fynal+firo) are coming, and y'all are invited too, but you have to bring extra setups if you wanna play melee. And you have to be nice to my parents.

 

[Dew Rag]

i guess it's incentive for nerds to join the Academy of Actuaries @@

Thanks tim for hosting and giving rides. gg's

 

[Dekuschrub]

dang theres a smash scene still at uiuc? ballerrrrr

 

[Dew Rag]

oh why hello there!

 

[TuxingtonIII]

My calendar says we're due for another smashing -- but I'm fine with just sleeping all weekend.. if anyone's wanting to do something, lemme know

Not relevant:

P.S. @AOB -- I definitely looked up to see which came first, actuaries or Zelda. Unfortunately it's not a career path with a secret lust for gaming

 

[bertbusdriver]

depends how soon i get this MP done. <3 x86

 

[AOB]

I should get a triforce tattoo on my hand when I become a member.

But I wonder if anyone at work would get it. They might just think I'm a total actuarial dork.

Drinking game: everyone plays Pokemon Trainer and has to take a shot of the respective Pokemon when they swap into it (including death-swaps)

In related news, anyone up for Sunday SUNDAY SUNDAY smash?

 

[bertbusdriver]

I'm not done with my MP yet so I'm out

Nice hamtaro though tim. Talk to goolick. He texted me looking to smash. I think jack should be free too (The ****er never checks this thread... if you text me i can put you in touch with him)

 

[PSICaramel]

Hi, I'm new to these forums. Anyone wanna play some Melee? PM me if interested

Mathematical. I myself am typically free any day after 5, but it works better when people besides me arrange things >__>

 

[slomo431]

ill probably end up going back to school come january...things are too bleak right now

im looking at northwestern

What are you gonna take? Quitting the actuary biz or getting a Masters that will help you with it like Stats or something? Those job postings that require a master statsman and the like seem to last a lot longer.

Right now with me the weird thing is I'm having my best luck so far in getting initial inquiries and my first on site interview with health companies instead of P&C. But man this job search **** is discouraging.

 

[AOB]

Working in health is awesome.

There. Now when they ask you why you want to work in health when you have experience in P&C, you can tell them you have a friend who says it's awesome. Instead of having to say you'll take what you can get, which may not go over so well.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

Smash this weekend? Caturday? (or other)

Well, the actuary I first interviewed with actually said she felt that Health was fairly close in what they do compared to P&C and wasn't worried about the transition. I just have to hope the rest of her team especially the manager feel the same way. It actually seems pretty great and is one of my top choices despite being Health.

 

[bertbusdriver]

sorry i'm gone for the weekend. have fun guys.

 

[PSICaramel]

I'd love to play smash on Saturday, just give me a time and place and I'll show up.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

Saturday at my place, it would seem. I'd suggest in the evening (7ish), but another time's fine.

I think everyone has my address, but I know everyone has my number (except PSI whom I'll pm)

And if anyone is susceptible to bribes (food, drink, unspeakable acts, etc), just let me know, and arrangements can be made.

Everyone should come!

 

[Dew Rag]

dont text me pl0x i wont be coming today lazy to find a ride/bus + i'll be out till around 8 or 9 or so

Shoutouts to TuxingtonIII for letting us use his place

Smash RSO anyone? We could get funding, rooms and ****. Maybe help host SMYM 13? Get sponsored a trip to APEX or something?

 

[AOB]

An RSO doesn't help you get any of those things.

 

[sirlaser]

**** *****.

 

[bertbusdriver]

i know umich's smash club gets a room they can play in. they also have 2 tvs in the room. that might be nice. Funding would probably non-existent or sparse at the very best. I also don't think the UIUC smash community would increase in size by more than maybe 1 or 2 members as a result of an RSO existing.

i'm from nj, so i have a lot of friends at rutgers if anyone needs housing for APEX. Anyone interested in the pre-APEX at umich oct 22nd? Turnout should be big for a midwest tournament.

As far as SMYM, i'm down to run it. We could even do a fall tournament as well if it's not too late to organize one.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

Righteous, wicked, and sweet.

Of course, I don't expect to perform at the tourneys, but I'll go for the experience (since it might be my last chance ).

I have no idea what's involved or how long it'd take to set up a regional tourney here, but I'd be in too. A fall/winter one would be nice since SMYM would be quite a long time away. hyyyyyyppppppeeeeeee

 

[Battlecow]

I wanna run a 64 side tourney if that happens.
