Title: Small LAN at MOTAT - Saturday May 28th
Post by: Sparzx on May 07, 2011, 01:34:34 PM
Hey guys!

MOTAT has contacted us and said that they have their exhibition area available on the 28th of May, and have offered to let us use it for free (woot!)
So we're planning to hold a pretty last-minute LAN there at the end of this month.

As far as I know, Arseynimz was saying to me that there would be no cost to enter, or if people were keen on paying something small ($20?) then the money would go into the prizepool for console xLAN in July.

If you wanted me to run a specific competition for you guys, I'm happy to set that up, or you can all just rock up with your sticks and games, and hang out, play some games, etc for the day :D

The details in short:
Who - You, duh.
When - Saturday 28th May
Time - 9am-6pm
Where - MOTAT
805 Great North Road
Western Springs
Auckland
How - Well you should know how :P

Let me know if you're keen, so we can work numbers!
Hope to see you thereeeee! :D
and @massi4h - Dylan's coming up, so play him at GH kgo.

If you're going to hold super street fighter 4 competition or something, I have about 4-5 players that would be keen to come.
Keep us updated.

thanks.

I think the community is kinda split into two.
some prefer ssf4 and others prefer mvc3, so do both to have a  better crowd and also some plays both?
either way, this will get better numbers.

what you said didn't make sense. well, the first bit did but the second bit didn't.
Title: Re: Small LAN at MOTAT - Saturday May 28th
Post by: HoneyBadger on May 10, 2011, 09:40:07 AM
Some people prefer sf4
Some people prefer MvC3
Some people like to play both
If you run both games you'll get more people rather than just the MvC or SF crowd, so why not run both to get better numbers


SMOOFOLOGIST UNDERSTANDING THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF NZISM DENIZENS

Real talk though I don't think they're really that interested in creating more numbers, rather they just want to have a fun event with some lols. No reason we can't do DIY rather than bothering them if they don't want/don't have the resources to run something, it's not like there are points or prizes at stake. I think everyone who is able should come along just because it'll be a great venue for some offline leveling up.




and money matches.

Maybe we can have some Smash Melee/Brawl!
Title: Re: Small LAN at MOTAT - Saturday May 28th
Post by: massi4h on May 10, 2011, 10:18:07 AM
Yes to Melee. Thomas and Lenny will play if they come I think. And we should grab Dz, Sam and all the others.
Title: Re: Small LAN at MOTAT - Saturday May 28th
Post by: Pinolicious on May 10, 2011, 10:45:14 AM
Just txted Dz & also team Smash Melee Howick, I know Dz was keen to run a melee smashfest end of this month, maybe we can do it at this event?

Sounds great.  Near where I live so I am pretty keen.

Basically a place for us all to turn up and have a jam for like 9 or so hours.

Post by: Pinolicious on May 15, 2011, 07:17:33 PM
Has this been announced anywhere?

I got some Smash Melee people who are keen for this now.  I might try and get a setup of Project M (hax0red Brawl to behave like Melee)

smash revival!

Shot Sam. Haven't had a chance to play you at SF4 yet as well after all this time lol. I can bring my gamecube, but I don't have a crt for it or any plugs that will make it work on an lcd.

Also I'd be keen to try Project M Darren. Brawl+ felt nothing like SSBM to me.

Post by: Sparzx on May 17, 2011, 10:34:24 AM
Hokay, so.
We're definitely gonna have a go-ahead with this.
It's free (WOOOOOOOTTTTT!!) and we can just throw everything together and have some games on the day.
If I can get hold of some intergoogles, I'll bring along my laptop and we can set up some impromptu tournaments.

:D

I'll find out the really specific stuff for you ASAP, as in, today/tomorrow such as "Park here, walk in this gate at this time, say this, chicken dance then spin on head 6 times, etc"

Alright, so, I've been trying to get hold of Arseynimz to get more details for you guys, and never had any responses.
I asked Paradox, one of our gamers to head into Playtech on his lunch break to ask him straight up.

Arsey has told us that MOTAT backed out on the deal so we've no longer got a place to run it, which completely sucks.

I feel quite bad having to front up and cancel something that I was really quite looking forward to.  :'(

I'll see if I can find a community centre or the likes that will offer us a good deal so we can LAN sometime in the near future for little to no costs.

But for now, I'm sorry!!  :-\
