Don't know how often I can make it out because of school, but either way, awesome.

Oh. I'll try to stop by since I go to UCR. Haha. :) It'll be fun to actually have people to play against offline.

Once you guys get a regular day set, I can try coming up occasionally. I have family in Riverside and the drive isn't too bad!

Posted

What time will the first event start?

And now it's my turn to spend gas :)

Posted (edited)

Well I'd recommend any day except Friday for the weekly thing, since that's when FFA does their casual meet-ups. But aside from that, this week on the 3rd, what are the planned starting and ending times for this?

Edit: And probably not Wednesdays either, since WNF.

Also: Hey Raptor, if you want to, I'll totally ride up there with you this Friday. Double Edit: Oof, 4-7. Nevermind. Have fun!

Yeaah i'm pretty sure Wed and Fridays are not going to be the days for these gatherings, with the exception of any tournaments we decide to run!

But! As of now, the time to meet will be:

Date: Friday, February 3rd, 2012 in Building: INTS 1132

Time: 4pm-7pm

Address:

Arcade Revival at the University of Riverside

900 University Avenue Riverside, CA 92521

If things come up, like for whatever reason i can't get the room or i'm forced to change dates, i'll definitely post and let everyone know! :] Can't wait for things to get going once we settle on the basics for how we're gonna run this exactly.

Posted

@ Wallice: You can be sure that it MOST likely won't be on Fridays. Only reason why it would be is if the majority of the people show up really really really want these casuals friday.

Other than that, i'm thinking people might like Mon or Tues. But we'll see how tomorrow's meeting goes!

Just saying ahead of time, we can't do snacks because of policy stuff right now. Next time we have a major meeting or tournament later in Feb, there will be foodies. :]

Double Posting for important update.

Second post on the front has the detailed information on where to park and how to get to us!

Posted

It went prettttty gooood! :] Really happy at the people interested and everyone was super chill!

So we're probably going to start meeting up on Monday nights! 4pm - Close So feel free to stop by anytime to play games :]

Posted

UPDATE, so due to shitty rooms and stuff, I decided that it's best that we meet in the same BUILDING, but in different rooms. At least the rooms will be identical and will be able to handle the amount of setups and space for our meetings.

Hopefully this also allows people who are interested in checking us out, have the ability to come visit us on another date!

The following will be updated at the front page, our website (coming soon) and here!:

*The bolded, italic, underlined date is our next meeting*

2nd Meeting: Friday, February 17th, 2012 @ INTS 1132 | Time: 4pm - Close

3rd Meeting: Monday, February 20th, 2012 @ INTS 1121 | Time: 7:15pm - Close

Had a great time. Too bad about traffic though, everyone got there way later than they intended it seemed. I'll show up again if I ever have the time or a day off.

Posted

Hey! Late late post, but I wanted to say thanks to San Diego BB players for coming out! :] I really hope you guys had fun and played some different people this time around!

The next 2 meetings will be on Tuesday. After that, i'm not sure whether or not to hold one because Finals will be coming up very soon. If people are down, then i'll host it on a day that is most convenient for everyone.

With that, hit me up if you want more stuff! I'll see some, or all, of you at BBR this coming weekend! :]
