I’ll get everyone’s forum permissions set up in the morning. Was a long drive home.

[MajorMajorMajor]

[Cacophony]

So, we will be having a DoD:S tourney now?

 

You know I’ll run it if we do. I’ve still got the old setting lying around.

 

Please, please, please…

[Liam]

All forum permissions are updated.

 

Brenton Barber and Michael Huffman still need forum accounts though.

[Oh Malley]

Michael Huffman = Kaz-Ka

 

Brenton Barber = Shingi

[Liam]

Ah. They’re setup now then.

[Phonetically Phamous (dice]

1. All the remaining people voted on the console and pc games. The votes each game got is by their name; the games with the most votes will be played.

2. No, we ran out of time

3. See above

4. Waiting for an e-mail from networking to get the process moved forward.

[Phonetically Phamous (dice]

i understand the numbers are the votes, but are we taking the top ___ # of votes?

AKA: how many pc games are we playing at the lan, how many consul games are being played? assuming we arnt playing all 10 PC games and all 18 consul games.

[Wanted]

Man, I wish I could have been there. I had to go to a recital in Coulter. Ill definitely be at the LAN though. Im pretty stoked.

[Ephraim]

The last fifteen minutes were pretty chaotic. Expect clarification in the future.

I believe the top 4-5 PC games, top 5-7 console games; the # of console games will be up to the console prez and console VP; the PC ppl will decide how many games we can do. We usually have time for 4 definite games with 1 throwaway game that we schedule at the very beginning but cancel if people/networking are not ready in time.

[Cacophony]

As far as local sponsors go, if you are interested in approaching the Nexus again I’d be willing to chat them up. I usually end up there at least once a week or once every two weeks.

[Fascist Flakes (Jagr)]

Sounds great guys! Would’ve been there if you hadn’t scheduled it over an already existing event 3.

 

Also, its Castle Crashers and not Crusaders .

[ExiLe]

soo when will the rules and settings be worked out about the tourney?

[lootool]

why is it that peeps have such trouble wif my common name on campus?*Jonathan* Scott *Bennett*..its coo..just wanna set tha rekerd str8..I would like to try out one of the Dell computers at the LAN! How do I possibly reserve a spot..?? or do I just fuerst kum first serv type deal? or do we fight to the deth??? LooT.

[Oh Malley]

We’re doing the top 5 console games. So I think there’s a tie for that fifth spot. I’m sure Shingi and Kaz-Ka will make some sort of official announcement soon.

 

Oh yeah.. don’t forget Bitey’s Madden-esque comment. “It’s the people going in that fills up the room.”

[Poopie]

i applaud the person who voted viva pinata.

you will always be a winrar in my book <3

Thank you:) I really enjoy Viva Pinata:) and I would have loved to see Viva Pinata Party Animals at the LAN! IT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN!!!!! lol:)

[Cacophony]

Did we forget to talk about tshirts again?

[Phonetically Phamous (dice]

we need a design 1st

[FTE Kaz-Ka]

To break the tie, we are going to go with Mario Kart Wii.

DeviantSyntax said:

Ephriam if you would list which games won after the list of the votes Id appreciate it.

 

I edited the minutes to include winners, but it may be inaccurate, as I don’t know how many PC tournies we will have. Let me know if something is screwed up.

[Cacophony]

Quote:

Team Fortress 2, Counterstrike: Source, Call of Duty 4, Starcraft

 

But, but, but…Day of Defeat Source….

 

 

:crying_anim:

[Nickname]

no thats not correct cause the SC tourney will be run alongside the FPS tournaments I do believe.

[Nickname]

and in which case I think UT2k4 deserves the nod because its deathmatch and its nice to not play 3 valve games.

 

EDIT: Last 2 posts have been approved by DeviantSyntax. See minutes for updated game lineup.

[Cacophony]

I’ll at least be able to play Team Fortress 2.

 

Which means I’ll need to practice. And actually bother to update it…

 

And we’ll probably need to discuss whether we’ll be allowing all that new fangled stuff in or not.

I see no reason why we couldn’t allow it as its now a part of the game. Kinda sucks tho for those who didn’t unlock the new stuff. At the same time I think we will do like we did before and do a limit of 1 per class so no team should really be at much of a disadvantage.

[potion#9]

typo: my name is Alec Larsen, not Larson.
