If I can, I will make this cause Tant has done alot for this community T.O wise, and he announced his first, though I'm not sure if woodbridge will make either X_X. Metalmonstar, that doesn't sound too bad, as long as someone can pick us up from woodbridge. We'd all be in the same place, we wouldn't need to be picked up individually.

A lot of people with ride issues it seems. Can anyone help them out.

If anyone can pick up the woodbridge players and Forte, I could waive your venue fee for you.

How many people are in woodbridge?

My bro might be able to pick you all up. I just asked him and he said he would. However he is being a real jerk about it. He says he wants gas to be fully covered and to make a total 30 dollar profit. If you guys can handle that I would be willing to go in halves for profit part. So you only have to pay him 15. If there is 3 of you guys that would only be 5 each plus gas. That is still a little outrageous to me. Also I have no idea what time he would even get down there. He doesn't tend to wake up early. You would probably end up missing melee. At worst doubles as well. Also I am not sure what you all would do for ride back either.

So at all possible I would like to avoid the above.

HMS, I thought I heard you mention that your usual ride has work at nine. If this is the case, anyway you could meet us halfway and we could pick you up?


Possible solutions in order of preference

1. Some kind soul picks you all up and I waive there venue fee for being a good person.

2. You meet us halfway and we pick you up. May be able to make melee but it would be cutting it close.

3. My bro picks you up. Probably would miss melee. It would also be costly.

4. You claim ride johns and call it a day.

Woodbridge is K-9, ADA, HMS, Oath, BMX, and I
I won't presume to know which of them intend to go although HMS and I are a given

I don't know about the others but I don't intend to enter Melee so I don't mind missing it

If we can find a ride back and as long as we make Brawl teams, I personally don't mind the first three solutions ;P

Lol, Falco is stealing woodbridge's ride.

I would love to pick both you guys up. I am not sure I have enough space though. My bro's car only hold 4 and for some reason he wants me to come along with him. So really only three. Herfderf's van holds six but I am not sure if we could borrow it or not.

So HMS if you want to come I need to know how many woodbridge players are interested in coming? and if you guys are going to play melee or not? My bro says it will probably be about 20 dollars for gas.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Anyone who does get picked up by my bro, do not mention how his car looks. He drives a Pontiac Grand Am and recently some guy hit it. Insurance won't cover it so he is pretty pissed. You bring it up and I can't guarantee he won't leave you on the side of the road.

If we are able to work things out for you guys, I can guarantee at least one of the groups will be picked, I will need phone numbers and a specific meeting place. Preferably somewhere that isn't hard to find.

Silver Spring is only an 1 hour away for us. Well technically an hour 13 minutes, but the way my bro drives it is an easy hour or less.

Woodbridge is an 1 and a half. But he is willing to do it as long as he makes some money off of it. Which is why I strongly prefer not using that option, but if people are willing to accept it than that is their choice.

If people want to come, I am willing to offer whatever aid I can.

Yeah, who the hell is going to drive 2 hours there, back, there then back again, people might need to step it up with their own rides cause 8 hours in one day is simply laughable XD but hey, some people don't care XD

Even Hat's is a trip for you guys and that's like 45 minutes closer lol

Woodbridge needs to be relocated at once!

Ah, that is a real shame. I was really hoping to work things out. It would be nice if you could catch a ride with G-reg but he is like 45 minutes away. Well we got a week to figure something out.

Raikou, it is only like 20 minutes less to Hat's for the Woodbridge people.

I'm willing to pay if your bro is still willing to pick up Woodbridge. This is BMX.

I mean, I've read everything so, I like choice number 3. It's seems reliable and your bro is good on getting his money. BMX wants in.

Is that ok, Monstar?

Picking up the Silver Spring players isn't too much trouble. The trouble is getting both woodbridge and Silver Spring here.

My bro said he is alright with picking you guys up. Like I said we have a week to work things out. At least one group should be able to make it.

Alright, I will send my bro down to pick up woodbridge. See if you can get Oath or K9 interested.

Silver Spring, I think I can get someone to pick you guys up or I may just end up doing it myself.

Metalmonstar and I should be able to come and get you SilverSpring people. We have seating for just 5 people other than he and I, so is there anyone else you'd like to bring?

G reg said he still has 2 or 3 seats in his car for anyone that can make it to Leesburg.

It looks like we're going to be having plenty of TVs, but we still need some Wiis.

I'd just like to mention that there should be able to get free water and we're going to see if we can get some free popcorn, but I can't guarantee it. I'd like to remind everyone though to not bring their own food into the building.

i will be entering Melee

if i can still go to this, i will offer driving for 4 woodbridge people. only 4 (forte included cause he we agreed to team) because thats all i can fit in my car. ill need like $25-30 in gas fees total tho, since ill be going an hour south, 2 hours north, 3 hours south, and an hour north all in one day most likely.

one of you hit me up on aim sometime and we can finalize everything.

Well if G-reg can pick up the woodbridge people. Then my bro can take of the silver spring group. Then I can work on setting things up in the morning. Sounds like that works out pretty well.

G-reg if you are running a little late just call the club and let us know. Since you are giving people rides I can hold off on Melee until you arrive.

In case G-reg doesn't come we have a back up plan though.

I guess this means I have to update the ride section again.

@Tant- When I read that I thought you were suggesting that vanilla team with Greg.

Does woodbridge know who they are teaming with?

Heh, the local players are rather amusing. One of them suggested that in order to break even I reduce the entry fee for those who bring equipment rather than lowering the venue fee. I tried to explain to him that I am not going to rob the players.

Better watch out for us though. We are having a pancake dinner to load up so we will be ready on Saturday XD.
