Winter Smashcon "$400 in Bonus Pots!!!"

[Gunnermaniac]

Were you there for one of the last Chinese Inns? For some reason, people wanted to play on Pirate Ship and Shadow Moses during doubles. Since then, I've made it legal and people have enjoyed it.

If people want to play there then they can, with a gentleman's agreement. Why force me to waste a ban on hugely game changing stages? Also, why not rc/brinstar if these are on...
Just seems a poor idea for our biggest tournament.

 

[Bomber7]

Then I'll just keep them legal for monthlies if it'll be that big of a deal.

 

[×MÁR× the best diddy]

Imma have to agree with Gunner. I take doubles as seriously as singles. I don't wanna be cped to pirate ship when I'm tryna keep warmed up for the more serious sets(still don't know if I'll be there btw)

 

[Denti]

I saw this on the front page of AiB and I want to come to this. Could anyone pick me up from the airport at New Orleans. And could I get housing and lifts to the tournament until Monday. Then could I get dropped back off at the airport?? Please please Puhleeze!!!! <3

Also who is the actual host? All I see is smash con

 

[Bomber7]

Smashcon really is the actual host. Its really just a gaming organization. Under Smashcon are the TO's that work for the organization who run their tournaments of interest/expertise.

As far as housing, and rides go. Post in our facebook group, I forget who, but I think one or two people might be able to help you out there.

 

[Denti]

How many people do you expect for Brawl???? I really want an honest response. Because if it ends up being like 15-20 people I don't wana be told it was going to be like 50.

Why are you flying to this? Are you still in New Jersey?

 

[Denti]

Because I have a free 2,500 flying miles to use and this is close enough that I will have left overs but it is just right outside of my driving range. 10 hours of driving isn't fun or cheap.

I'm not trying to discourage you from coming, but there's something you need to understand. We're expecting 100+ people to come to smashcon. How many of those 100+ people we are expecting will enter Brawl, I don't know. Something that you have to face with running a tournament is that you can expect any amount of people to come, but you can't control at all if people actually show up to the event. If the people who said they were going to come, and those who said they might find a way to make it, we easily will have 100+ people at this convention and I'm sure we could easily get a 30+ person bracket for brawl. I'd expect similar quantities for all the other games tournaments we are hosting.

It is entirely up to you if you want to come or not. If you don't have confidence we will get the amount of attendance to suit your taste, then I wouldn't recommend you come. Go to some other reputable regional you know will get the amount of people you prefer to see at a brawl tourny. If you choose to come, we would love to have you. The more the merrier. We want you guys to give us a shot, no matter what the attendance is. If you have fun, we hope that you go back home and tell all your friends about us and encourage them to come to the next convention we have. This will help build our reputation and it will increase the chances of us having brawl (along with all the other games we host) tournaments where the brackets have at least 40-50 people in it easy.

 

[Denti]

If 30 people showed I'd be happy. I'm not looking for anything massive or something. I'm just wanting to Brawl and this tournament won't completely use up all my free flying miles.

When I get home I'll try and find a doubles partner. I'll try and find car rides and housing. Once I do this I'll get my tickets.

Also is Project M really 10$??

 

[Bomber7]

I honestly expect us to have 30+ people for brawl. I think we had 36 at Smashcon's summer convention.

Oh wow, good you noticed that about P:M. I'm not sure about the pricing for it. I'm going to ask and see. I honestly doubt it will be $10 because P:M is still young.

I'm taking an educated guess and saying Brawl, Melee, and 64 will all be $10 because they are the major events, everything else is $5, unless it says otherwise. I'll still check into that.

 

[Denti]

Yeah. Brawl has to be 10$ and no less or I won't wana come. It'd be like a local stuffff

 

[Tesh]

^dat greed

 

[Bomber7]

So apparently on the facebook group P:M is $10. I guess because it's still considered a Smash game and since Smash is our primary focus, it gets the $10 price tag. I'll see if we can lower the price to $5 just to get a feel of who would enter. If it got bigger, and more popular, then I'd be more comfortable with the $10 price tag. We'll see what happens. I hope you can make it. Just keep us posted on what you are doing, just in case you need us to help you find housing or a ride or something.

 

[Denti]

^dat greed

ShhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


you main Sonic

 

[Tesh]

I demand a pot bonus!

and I'm a top Sonic.

 

[Denti]

So I actually cannot make it. The airline I have a deal with doesn't start flying into New Orleans until Jan 24th.. how lame.

I looked into the megabus deal and not all the tickets were free. Total it would cost me 32$ for the entire trip and my wallet is EMPTY after apex. :/

 

[Bomber7]

Noooooooo! So lame! Well, just remember us come summer vacation. We will have another convention then.

 

[Curlz]

Denti, no! You need to come to this so we can meet again! I haven't seen you since Apex 2012. :'(

 

[Denti]

Is there anyway someone could pick me and Disqo bunny up from the megabus station in New Orleans at like 7:00 am on Sunday? Then provide us with housing and a ride to megabus back in New Orleans at 7:00 am again monday morning? We're thinking about making it.

 

[×MÁR× the best diddy]

Anti said that he may try to come

 

[Denti]

Anti lol. What whyyy

 

[×MÁR× the best diddy]

Just so you can't make easy money@denti :I

 

[Denti]

Eff everything

 

[smash-con]

We'll be adding a Magic the Gathering Card Tourney to the schedule. It will start at 1pm(Standard) then another at 5pm(Boaster Draft). Information can be found on the OP.

 

[B_AWAL]

So far

 

[Denti]

Sorry. I for sure can no longer make this. Hope everyone has fun. Hopefully I can make the next one.

 

[BSL]

Denti no

What happened?

 

[Bomber7]

His airline happened -.-

 

[BSL]

But I was going to help pay for his megabus ticket in exchange for teaming with me.

[#HBC | Ryker]

Ah yes good :D. Hope you can make it!

 

[Deleted member]

Melee is coming hard for this one. They must have read it like "$400 in bonus pot!"

 

[Bomber7]

Don't forget about the training fest in Allbany guys. I hope to see you guys there. Bring set-ups please.
