Please give me a general idea as to where you guys want to have friendlies and weekend tournaments located. I went to the orientation, and filling out forms is the next step. We should have official locations for next week. I just need to know where and when you guys want them.

 

[TheWalkingThano]

Well, I think sunday is good for just about everyone so sunday at 3 should work. If we can rent the room at Allen, that would be cool. If not, we can fall back on Weston.

 

[AOB]

Could we make it 2pm? Dinner gets pushed way back as it is.

 

[slomo431]

I was going to suggest that too. 2 or 1 would be more preferable, because I expect I will usually leave to go eat around 6.

 

[AOB]

Yeah, 1 would work if you guys are up for it, but 2's fine also.

 

[_marth1_]

i like 1PM too
are there any rooms in Grainger to rent out by any chance?

 

[brickman]

I have no idea, sorry.

I think we could probably get rooms at the union if we want, let me know!

 

[AOB]

I'm not sure about the Union. The downstairs rooms are much bigger than what we need, and the upstairs rooms are... upstairs. Plus, I don't believe any of them already has a big TV like Weston or Allen.

I like Weston and Allen a lot, so unless someone knows of something else with comfy chairs and a big TV and a nice location...

 

[brickman]

Alright, Allen Hall sounds good to me. Will start working on trying to get that space reserved for ooo say the next 2 months or so for Saturdays and Wednesdays?

 

[brickman]

*Sunday.

sorry double post.

 

[TheWalkingThano]

Alright, so we'll meet at 1 at Allen? And for a weekday smashfest, wednesday doesn't work for me. Could we do it on tuesdays? Tuesdays are great for me.

 

[-Q-]

I live at at third and chalmers(Bromley). I can play with anyone on anyday as long as its after 4... unless its the weekend, then i can play anytime. PM ME

 

[CrimsonQueso]

Balancing homework and smash is far too difficult ><

 

[_marth1_]

once we get a room reserved for sure we should put up signs around campus so more people would show up

 

[Dekuschrub]

i wont be there this sundday, goin home for friends bdday and a smash tourney inSTL

 

[brickman]

Alright, as far as getting these tournaments publicized, that should not be a problem. We just need to come up with a design to put on a flyer, and then we can print a ton of them off. We get a discount rate for printing if we want to do it through the school because of RSO status. If someone would like to come up with a flyer design and present it this Sunday, that would be awesome.

 

[telemaster]

you could use an engineering student to print for free as well, theres a 300 page quota for ews labs and i believe another 300 just for everitt

I'll bring a design

btw, what would you like on the flyer and what will we call this RSO?

 

[brickman]

The RSO is called "Smashing Illini"

As far as stuff to put on the flyer besides general information about time location, etc. Just put stuff that relates to the game. Characters, items, screen shots.

feel free to be creative.

Dew Rag, (just tell me your real name please, I like to be on a actually name basis, mine being brickman)
If what ryzingsun11 says is true, then we can get them printed there, we just need an engineering students help.

Tom, you're a engineering student, correct?

 

[AOB]

We're just talking about fliers for the tournaments, right? Because I would hate to have big turnouts at regular old smashfests. I'm imagining 30 novice players showing up who certainly don't bring extra setups (we're lucky if they bring trollers) and cramping our style, or am I just being an old grump?

We do need to get extra setups somehow. 3 TVs is going to make for very long tournaments.

As for putting up fliers, I did plenty of that for SMYMs before I gave it up a year or two ago. It's a pain in the ***. You're lucky if they stay up for more than a day or two anyway, so if you really want to get exposure you have to go out several times.

 

[Dew Rag]

my name is durand

should i just put sundays at 3? at weston?

and do we really need to put stuff about the game? i mean i think most people know what the game is
or do u mean like rules 4 stock 8 min time limit etc etc?

 

[brickman]

I think you misunderstand. I don't think we need anything for this weekend, I would like it to be quiet and small still for this weekend. Once I have reserved a place, hopefully for next weekend, than you can make a flier, but for this week just bring some ideas.

As far as rules. Just put bring your own controller, and if they have more information they can contact a member of the group.

 

[Dew Rag]

ah ok ok thanks

 

[-Q-]

*** yea i got a crew...we are THE 0-BIRDS . Except for those twins,who wants to challenge?

you got to buy us some chipotle or sumthin when you lose.

 

[slomo431]

Speaking of Chipotle, when are we gonna see some of those burrito coupons? I still have like 7 breakfast burrito coupons from last year...

 

[TheWalkingThano]

You still have those? I freaking gave those away...

Anyway, we are definitely playing in Allen this weekend or is it still in the air?

 

[slomo431]

Allen at 1 on Sunday? I thought everyone was pretty set on that. I really need to play some matches. I can't figure out how to wavedash consistently anymore.

 

[telemaster]

when is the free burrito day? yuuuuummmmmm

 

[Azuryu]

Yeah 300 for ews and 300 more for ECE students. Let me know if you need some printing. Need to waste 600 pages this semester... Oh btw, these pages will be in black and white though. I am not sure about printing in color. I believe ews lets you do that and its like 2 or 3 pages for color. Everitt doesn't let you print color.

 

[brickman]

Alright this is what we are going to do, in case there was any confusion.

We are going to have our friendlies/tournament at Allen Hall in the Main Lounge (PM if you need directions) at 1 PM on Sunday. If this place is occupied I suppose we could always fall back on Weston.

I would like to know who is going to be able to bring set ups.

On another, hopefully we can get some notice in the Allen Notes (Allen Hall's weekly newsletter) to inform people about these things so people can come out and see how they like it.

As far as the fliers, Durand, you will hopefully have an outline ready for Sunday that you can present to some of the people who are there. Then you should get into contact with Azuryu in order to make some copies of your flier.

I think this just about covers all things related for this weekend and the upcoming week (disregarding the tentative location and time of mid-week friendlies in the upcoming week).

Thanks for all your help, see you guys on Sunday.

 

[Dekuschrub]

i will challenge the o birds!

i will be there this sunday at 1 btw

 

[slomo431]

Speaking of crews, maybe if we have enough people one of these days we could try crew battles. Each of the twins can be their own crew.

 

[Dew Rag]

i challenge the 0-BIRDS LOL

i'll also be at allen at 1 on sunday
how many are in ur crew? lol

 

[TheWalkingThano]

I was just thinking that the Bears are playing on Sunday and we might have to fight people to get the TV (I really want to watch the game too).

I think the flyers should go up in places they have less chance of being taken down. I think by the dining halls of dorms would be good. Other than that, random places on the quad or something.

And I wouldn't mind doing crews either.

 

[_marth1_]

has anyone heard if there is smash at illinites tonight, or not? it didnt say anything in the paper about it like it usually does

 

[flipkid]

soo the bears game starts at 3.. im thinking that maybe doing the smashfest in the evening would work better if we actually wanted a tv bigger than a ruler... plus i wouldnt be able to show up until 430 at the earilest even without the bears game..

i got a big *** tv and a wii at my place.. plus lots of space... but no game/memory card though

but yeah.... i think after the bears game would be much better then before the bears game... something like 6-9 pm say for example... that way the lounges will be more accessible..

 

[slomo431]

I have dodgeball at 9pm on Sunday, so the earlier the better for me.

 

[AOB]

Ugh, I have class at 8 on Mondays. If we do Sunday night, I'll leave around 9 also.
I don't really know how this football stuff works. And are there a lot of Sunday games? Saturday? Maybe we should be thinking about Friday nights instead?

The quad is the best place for fliers, but they are guaranteed to be torn down or (if you put them on that column) covered up in a day or two. I also like the streetposts at the Green/Wright intersection, but again, they get torn down.

 

[_marth1_]

are you part of the Dodging Illini RSO?

 

[AOB]

I know it's short notice, but I could do tomorrow at 1 also. I would prefer that to Sunday at 6, if you guys are up for it?
