TaoFTW Posted April 19, 2010 Author Posted April 19, 2010 Also, Winson's birthday is May 15th. I expect all of you to be there to celebrate his birthday with lots of CAKE. TaoFTW, we need to talk. Got to inform you about the logistics with IPW and stuff regarding the event. Don't get your hopes up yet though. You still got a lot of work to do, but it's still very possible. But since IPW's support at Fanime (well, we will be at Super NCR, but the point is on paper supporting you) might help you get a sponsor by Aksys, I highly recommend you talk to Haunts. Right on Mr. Coopa. I appreciate your efforts! I'm still busy up to my ass with work and, frankly, I've been busy trying to get them done in SOME particular order. SO, keeping that in mind, I appreciate your efforts. The reality is that I need to have somebody back me up in case I can't pitch this minor. In the event that something - outside of my control - happens, I need to know that we can have backup. With a fair amount of meditation and feedback, here's my - unofficial - pitch: Guilty Gear AC (Hosted by: KatanaDash & Tenkai) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Melty Blood AA (Hosted by: Tsubasa & Dakanya) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Blazblue CS (Hosted by: Spirit Juice & Aginor) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Tekken 6 (*Pending?) - 2v2 - Singles - *5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition ST Turbo (**Pending?) - Singles [On Dreamcast] * = I want to talk to the Tekken community and see what's their take on this gig. I, barely, dabbled into their scene and don't want to leave a bad impression. ** = I, also, don't have much say in the ST community, so this is still up in the air. *** We simply don't have the staff and volunteers to run a, grandose, minor. So, based on feedback from the community and tournament organizers, SSF4 is out of the question. The whole point of NorCal INSTALL! is to revive a - supposed - dead scene with hopes to extend our reach to a new generation of FGers. As for the Aksys sponsor, I can only hope and - cross my fingers - that they received my voicemail and respond ASAP. And I sure hope that Koogy would be, more than willing, to lend us a hand. Thanks for the advice Mr. Coopa. I will give you a free 720 on my Rawrgna. And since Winston is having a BDAY, here's the new schedule: 5/1: NCI GGAC, MBAA, T6 Ranbat 5/8: SVGL BBCS Doubles 5/15: GINSENG LAN PARTY! *Pending 5/22: SVGL BBCS Singles 5/29: Fanimoo Things to do to get Minor high-n-rolling: - Secure a venue: (Convention Space or Hotel) - Secure sponsors: (AksysGames, KOOGY-CON) - Contact big names from SoCal & NorCal: (Haunts, Mike Z, Goryus/CopperDabbit, etc.) - Organize, discreet, MM: (SPRTJUICE SAILOR MOON MM) - Organize, discreet, sidebets?: (Coopa, you're going have to help me on this one) - Equipment and setups: (What's the best way to secure setups? Do we ask the community to bring equipment or do we buy our own setups?) What is the best way to minimize theft? Post-its don't work, but what works? - Streaming: (Feel free to share ideas) NorCal INSTALL! Magz stream site IPW - Organizing Exhibition matches: (WHO?!, what, where, why, HOW?! Do we have to charge people for a buy-in or give some sort of cookie to the winner?) - Date: (Aginor suggested the 2nd week of August, is this legit to everyone? Also that's the week of Aginor and I Bday. :3) That's all I can think out of the top of my head. Feel free to add to the list.

KatanaDash Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 Because the Event list for this ranbat is so long, the number casuals setups will be very limited! Don't expect to play random games, that are non-event related untill after finals for the 2v2s have started! Proposed Schedule: DeVry University in Fremont! Saturday May 1st! Starting at 2pm! if you will be late call ahead! I am gonna have to be a dick about this! BE READY TO CALL IF YOU ARE LATE, IF YOU SHOW UP LATE, AND HAVEN'T CALLED, there is a good chance you won't be able to enter! If you need number to call I can give you mine... PM me! Wave one: Streaming: Select Matches from the Singles, MMs etc! 2 setups: GGAC 1v1 up to finals, or semi-finals depending on time 2 setups: MBAA 1v1 up to finals, or semi-finals depending on time 2 setups: T6 1v1 up to finals, or semi-finals depending on time Wave two: hopefully this starts by 4 or 5 pm! Streaming: finals for singles tournies! 2 setups: 2v2 GGAC 2 setups: 2v2 MBAA? 2 setups: T6 2v2? Casuals? Depends on demand Wave 3: 7 or 8pm. Stream:finals for 2v2s Remaining setups for casuals! Do we have 6 confirmed setups in addition to the streaming setup? PS: The many casual setups at the last ran-bat are probably the reason we didn't have time for a 2v2.... So keep that in mind if you want to whine about the number of casual setups going down!
TaoFTW Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 Once again, thanks for the positive hype guys. KatanaDash post is now updated on the front page. Unfortunately, I cannot come to this ranbat (work, family, stuff). But I hope you guys can manage the hype. Hope things work out.
Honnou Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 This is looking a little hard for me to go to.　：（ Day after my birthday and I need to go a first communion. I forget how long they take but it is at 11am. If someone didn't mind leaving slightly later, I would truly appreciate it (maybe 12:30?）。
TaoFTW Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 Don't worry, there will always be next time!
SethDahlios Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 This is looking a little hard for me to go to.　：（ Day after my birthday and I need to go a first communion. I forget how long they take but it is at 11am. If someone didn't mind leaving slightly later, I would truly appreciate it (maybe 12:30?）。 First communion takes about the time of an average mass in Catholicism. Only slightly longer so if its a Roman Catholic one, 1:15 tops.

If someone didn't mind leaving slightly later, I would truly appreciate it (maybe 12:30?）。 could drive you at this time since i leave school late so no matter. However bringing a setup this time maybe out of the question since we are pressed for time.
Honnou Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 could drive you at this time since i leave school late so no matter.

Kijiyama Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Wow, amazing, Ed! I can bring the system still WITH me, but the TV is gonna be a little difficult... meant the tv. anyway i'll give you some form of contacting me monday. out due to medication.
Yggjrasil Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 When's everybody gonna show up so that I can have the tables and set-ups ready before we start offically?
TaoFTW Posted April 25, 2010 Author Posted April 25, 2010 When's everybody gonna show up so that I can have the tables and set-ups ready before we start offically? Everything should be ready no later than 12pm. I'm not going to be there, but you guys can handle that. Also, there were issues with LCD lag. Keep that in mind as you start making setups.
Tsubasa Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 May Norcal Install this Saturday. Anyone coming, please break your $20s before arrival. It makes all our lives easier. This is especially important for anyone who intends to participate in the 2v2, where the entry is $3 a head.

This is especially important for anyone who intends to participate in the 2v2, where the entry is $3 a head. Roger that! Also, it makes things much easier if people go to dinner later as well. Tsubasa, could you also bring those, what were they called, wire stripper tools if you don't mind. I just need to get this wire a bit longer on my stick so I can secure it again. Thanks ahead of time! Also, hoping for another SPECIAL GUEST at this ranbat.
qwerty Posted April 26, 2010 Posted April 26, 2010 okay so if i get a ride i'll bring: - ps2 + tv for ggac/mbac - dreamcast + crt monitor + converters for st - 360 + crt monitor + converters for tekken i am dead fucking serious so please give me a ride someone i live in mountain view
Tsubasa Posted April 27, 2010 Posted April 27, 2010 Tsubasa, could you also bring those, what were they called, wire stripper tools if you don't mind. I just need to get this wire a bit longer on my stick so I can secure it again. Thanks ahead of time! Sure, I'll do that. I should be able to do a quick on-the-spot fix for you if you want to use your stick for the tourney. Hey, tell you what. Your stick is falling apart. Since I'm going to be doing some work on my sticks soon anyway, if you let me take your stick after the tourney, I'll rewire it for you. And as extra service, since I think looking at your stick bothers me more than it bothers you, I'll offer you some spare Sanwa parts I have lying around (click for picture) for free. Chances are, I won't use them again anyway. They're all used, but they should all have light to moderate wear on them. Not like the heavy wear on your current parts. I don't have any pink buttons, but I think I have more white buttons than pictured, so if I can find them, I can swap the plungers with the pink ones from your buttons. They'll be like those white/green buttons pictured w/pink instead of green. Tell me if you're interested.

I don't have much but I'd like to do something for you to make it up at least. Looks like you'll have some special (sorry, it's not French) bread coming your way at the very least. I don't mind some buttons being different colors. LOL are my current parts under heavy wear? You're probably more sensitive to it than I am, yes!
Honnou Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 LOL so true BTW Ed that communion I have to go to actually starts at 10:00 am so by the time you leave, I'll be back home methinks. I'll call you otherwise. This also means I can bring a TV with setup if you are OK w/that.
Yggjrasil Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 anyone need any extra extension cables or anything of the sort before we get the set-ups going?
KatanaDash Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Any body need a ride on sat from santa clara area? I've got room in my car, leaving around 11am, send me a pm if you need it.
Kijiyama Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 If you are bringing the TV again, please bring a liner for the car. I still need to get something permanent for stuff like that.
TaoFTW Posted April 30, 2010 Author Posted April 30, 2010 Any body need a ride on sat from santa clara area? I've got room in my car, leaving around 11am, send me a pm if you need it. I know that Meowmix needs a ride there.
