Second I left that meeting early bc I was upset at some of the stuff said about making a console club or making the computer gamers go to another room, and dont even try to play it off as some joke because the manner in which it was said was dead serious. Yeah I get upset with how we get shafted on space and power bc of them I mean hell we are a growing section and we need more room, you dont need a whole table for a laptop, people inthe console area are sitting on top each other during tournaments.
If the new console executives believe that they can form their own “console gaming club” it goes to show how far they think into things. How in the world are you going to pay for all that pizza? How in the world are you going to buy additional chips and drinks on top of that? Everything is set up and geared for the club as a whole so if consoles really think they can split, by all means go for it. You’ll come crying back after you can’t even get one LAN off the ground. I had already proposed reserving both the Grandroom and the Multipurpose room for the LAN events so that the consoles would have the entire Mutlipurpose AB room to themselves but was promptly shot down by the retards that currently run the club. I can understand how you are upset about space and I even tried to get you additional space as I just mentioned. If you believe you are getting skimped or whatever you want to call it, you need to be bringing these issues up in the executive council. As console Pres and Vice Pres you two count as executives so splitting the club when you actually have some say in how it’s set up is really stupid. You need to demand additional space and you need to make sure that you get that space. When I was president there was not a single thing that Oh Malley wanted that he did not get if it was in any way shape or form in my power. If the current staff is unwilling to compromise to help promote what is now the largest portion of the gaming club, you need to get some new executives in there. Don’t split, just reorganize and work with what you already have. I still believe that it would be in the best interests of the growth of the club for consoles to get the Multipurpose Room so that they have the space, networking, and power that they need to run their event in a more productive and FUN manner. If the executives can’t see this, then they are failing to meet the mission of the gaming club.
Besides, I don’t want to sit around and listen to somebody beat the *edited* out of the Rock Band drums for the entire frakking LAN event.
Why not go down there where you can bang and sing all you want. You can dance to your hearts desire on DDR all you want and not one single PC gamer will *edited* about nor will they make you stop so that the PC people can hear. I would gladly walk from the Grandroom to the MP room to own up some Wii Bowling. I don’t see that massive long walk down a single staircase as being too terribly exhausting or inconvenient for myself and I’m sure others agree. Believe me, I’m all for the growth of the consoles and hell, I was a leading part of the initiative to unleash the consoles and give them more power and voice in the overall club. I’m not anti-console and I am on your side believe it or not. I just think that you need to make sure that you are adhering to the standards put in place at the general meetings (which take priority over console ones) and work with the general club instead of against them.
