Robtown I can understand why we may seem uninviting. Most of us have been smashing with the same people for the last year, and every time we play we always get into the routine Andy referred to with the alternating teams. Unfortunately, last week was less the normal smashfest we're used to and more the first meeting of the new Smash RSO that just formed a few days ago, and we mishandled it a bit. We really had no idea how many people were interested, and I guess a lot of us couldn't bring or forgot about bringing setups, so the big screen got a little crowded. However, a couple of us were able to go home and get 2 more games set up in around an hour, but you may have left by then. I think several people did.
I was one of the people on that TV first that day, and speaking for myself, when I sit down to smash, I pretty much zone out. It doesn't matter if two or twenty people are behind me waiting to play, all I'm really paying attention to is what's on the screen, and for that I apologize. For that reason, you have to call next. Like at a pool table at a bar or a beer pong table at a party, with such a high demand, you're probably not going to get in the next game unless you call for it. It's our fault for not really talking to people about that first.
I understand that you did do exactly that, and I have no idea why you weren't let in, but maybe by then all the regulars had already paired up and didn't want to split off again. Next time you can look around and grab a partner if we're playing doubles like that before you ask. Some of us especially me don't really talk much, so those nods, mumbles, or grunts you experienced before might be all we'll give you, especially while we're playing, but it's enough to tell you that once the match is over you should make a move to plug yourself in when it's your turn.
If you don't know anyone come find me, I'll partner with you. Just look for Henrik, or slomo, or the Fox nametagged SLOW who always loses yet is still allowed to play on the big boy TV. We really are trying to be a student organization open to anyone who plays one of the Smash games to have fun and get better, not be an elitist club (at least I think so, anyway). Next time I'll get you in. I gots connections.
