for those that actually play consul game at the lan should have went to their meeting if you really cared what was going on.
If I had known games were going to be changed I would have gone, as would have many others. If you’re going to be making changes like this, EVERYONE needs to know in advance, that way people that might want to play consoles but don’t care how the tournaments are set up (IE PC gamers) might show up. Note the way you announced the meeting:

I’ll be holding the first console meeting of the semester this Friday in the Cat’s Den at 8 p.m. The purpose of this meeting will assess where we stand as far as what free play will go on at the LAN’s and also other events that we can possible hold.
That doesn’t even hint at the possibility to overriding the general meeting vote as far as games go therefor most assume the games played will be the ones previously voted in.
I agree with a previous post, if the general meeting voting doesn’t count don’t bother having one as the PC voting REALLY got shafted because we ran out of time after spending 15-20 minutes nominating and voting on console games.
Also, I would bet that there are more copies of Mario Kart Wii on campus than there are PS3s. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as far as overall sales and marketshare go you should be having more Wii tournaments than the XBOX360 and PS3 as it has outsold both by a sizeable margin; over twice the sales of the PS3 and 9% more than the XBOX. Now I know gamers don’t like numbers presented like this but that means we should be jumping towards attracting Wii players, not the handful of rich people who have PS3s on campus. Wii gamers may not be into slingshotting people into buildings but they are attracted to a good Mario Kart tournament.
