Dear officers of Smash Club '10-'11,
Let me explain how you reserve rooms online. I think you can even reserve rooms during the summer if you wanted to hold some smash events at UT this summer!
Simply go to this site, http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sald/events/roomres.php, click "online room application form," and fill out this straightforward form. Good room choices would be WEL 1.316/1.308/3.502, JGB 2.324/2.216, ART 1.102, and UTC 2.102A. (See this pdf for other room ideas.) Remember that, to allow for time to set up before the meeting and move out afterwards, you'll want to set the room reservation times to maybe an hour before and after the planned meeting times. After you submit the form, it takes 2-4 working days for them to assign you a room, so it's best to submit at least a week before the date of reservation. They may change the times or choose a different room depending on what's available when.
If you plan to collect money:
If it is not membership dues, then you are supposed to collect it with the rolled ticketing procedure. However, it should be fine to collect a venue fee with the rolled ticketing procedure and collect tournament entry fees without it. Just remember that you must take all money collected with the ticketing procedure along with unsold tickets to the student organization bank within ten days. So, if you wanted to get pizza or something during the meeting, you cannot purchase it with the venue fees you collect; one of the officers must pay for it and get reimbursed from the club bank account later.
Before you hold any meetings, you guys should decide who will be the authorized banking representatives, add the names to the pink "bank account authorization form" I gave to Edgar, and turn that in to the student org bank. There must be between 2 and 5 banking reps. I recommend you have more than 2 since there's no drawback (it is no longer required for auth banking reps to attend a treasurer's workshop) and that way, when there is a need for somebody to go the bank, it is more likely that one person will be available to do so.
Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions about running the club. You can also find answers on the SALD website and in the student org manual.
One more thing: you guys should check the club email (texas.smash.club@gmail.com, PM me if you forgot the password) periodically, there have been a couple emails asking about the club patiently awaiting a response.

I vote everyone comes to Kingwood, cuz that of course is the most reasonable thing to do.

As the Emperor of Smash Club, I've decided to lay a smackdown on the email account. It's just a mess. This will probably entail a wholesale deletion of emails from BC (Before Clay) years, and pruning of irrelevant emails from the Clay era. If you have a problem with this, you can stfu. This is the Edgar Era Epoch. That is all.

Hello Austin,
I'm finally in Austin if only for a couple months and looking to get in some smash as and when I can. Not sure where or when anything is going on though, I imagine University managed venues would be closed for the summer.
So what is going on, where is it happening, when does it happen, where can I pick up a US GC controller?

you'll be hard pressed to find one made by Nintendo.
Don't buy 3rd party, they suck.
As far as I know, your best bet is to get a white one from Japan.
Fry's might still carry Platinum ones.

Nintendo is selling platinum GC controllers again! Order from here. I need a new one since the ridges on the control stick of my new white Wii controller rubbed off already. :/
Fry's does not carry the platinum controller (but maybe some time soon?).
You're supposed to say "Yes, Master" and do his bidding. If you don't, he will use his

It's a good thing I didn't keep my controller in the box then, or so you claim is the culprit.
Noc
Smash Journeyman
It was probably a combination of a fault in the durability of my white Wii controller or white Wii controllers in general (saw a review for the white controller on Amazon.com that said his control stick ridges rubbed off quickly too), keeping it in the box (may have rubbed off some on the box interior during transport), and aggressive use (many hours of smash didn't help heh).

Justin, could you update the Officer Info on the OP? New officers and their titles are listed at this site: http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/sald/studentorgs/vieworgs.php?org=4153.
So ends the Before Clay years and begins the age of Tirno tyranny.

Tirno tyranny = Melee club
I can't believe y'all are actually registered under those titles...
The old smashpublic and Chancellor Kiblertine are gone, Edgar will rule his smashpire with an iron fist and only allow Melee, maybe Smash 64.
Darth Khalid will roam the smashpire and see to it that this rule is enforced, or otherwise meet certain death.

Actually, I'm just following rules. If you look under the membership requirement listed on the official UT page, you'll see that it states:
"Membership:
Perform one wavedash."
Read 'em and weep, Brawl players (and 64 players too; sorry, it was a necessary sacrifice).
I didn't make those rules, so don't blame me.

Clay and I did a character battle yesterday, its pretty fun.
Inspired by the character battle between Isai and Superboomfan.
Basically each person has access to every character in the game, and you have a set number of stocks for each character. If the loser picks the stage, you're free to change your character, even if you have stocks left over. It makes for some really unusual match-ups.

This sounds fun. Edgar and I should do this.

One of the awesome things was discovering that I'm actually pretty good with some characters that I never use.
Like G&W, I was owning Clay to the point that he was forced to switch to his main, and even then I still did pretty well.
And then Clay was owning with Charizard, I didn't even know he knew how to use him.
This was all B+, we decided that would be the fairest, cuz Clay would own me in Melee and 64.

After practicing Brawl for about a month, playing Melee with an actual person is super refreshing.

lulz, I'm trying to say it without actually saying it, surmise what emotion Brown Link is conveying with his expression, and think of the question you just asked me.

what Kal said.
Clay tolerates it better, but would much rather play Melee, and is OK with B+.
But I pretty much can't stand the game anymore.
I hope we can still be friends though, pah ha.

Matt, haven't we gone over not making these sort of comments before? You continue to make these sort of comments in spite of the fact that we've had to deal with complaints about it before. If you're going to make jokes, stick to stupid bull **** about the economized Wendy's chicken nuggets.

It might not be a bad idea to have a set-up or two of Brawl.
People who like Brawl FFAs will still wanna come for that.
