Chun Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 Actually I've heard the same about entry fees to make the prize even bigger for a large event. What do other people think?
ShelledMenace Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Hmmm...I wouldn't mind the raise for entry fees, especially since it's for SNCI lol. I mean I'd be okay with it whenever anyway, but yeah.
Kijiyama Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I think that having a higher entry fee makes things better in the sense that people who are travelling further get more out of it by coming. If you limit it to $5 it kinda makes it more favorable to locals and less to the people you want to attract to your SNCI.
huey253 Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 I think i might bring multiple cars of people just to play anime games, but we might need some help on lodging... I"ll start a list of people who want to now right now.
haketh Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Love to join but I would need a place to crash at seeing how I'd have to go out on pass to stay for the whole thing.
Xie Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I apologize, but a lot of us SoCal guys can't make it out on this date. There's a lot of financial aide issues for some of our college bros and there's a coinciding big tournament on that Saturday.
Chun Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Just a few things: This SNCI is one day only. I will be putting up a finalized schedule of events for SNCI, Dates and Times, by the end of this week. I will also be putting a poll up on the pot entry for Persona 4 Arena this time around to raise the stakes from 5$ a player, to 10$. Please continue to spread the word as the website will be updated soon as well.

Chun Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 Oh the headache of adding classes thanks to capacity problems. OFFICIALLY: P4U has been raised to 10$ Entry Fee only to provide "Bonus" winnings. Scheduling will be adapting a "structured" approach. In other words, instead of simultaneous tournaments, we will run tournaments at every hour from 12 PM, and allow casuals for the non-tournament game at the time. This should lower a lot of the seek and find people problems, but also increase number of DQs, so be on time. Updates to website hopefully by Thursday. ~Chun
Kaori Manabe Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 chun do you want me to bring actual poverty to stream? is skullgirls actually going to be in? dont drink nos its bad for you
Chun Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 chun do you want me to bring actual poverty to stream? is skullgirls actually going to be in? dont drink nos its bad for you Up to you Manabe, at this point it may or may not be streamed due to time, scheduling's been hectic. Also if you're going give me a general idea by RSVPing on facebook (Or if you have none, tweet the status at http://twitter.com/norcalinstall), thanks. https://www.facebook.com/events/270910309686773/ ~Chun
DatChairman Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I've never been to this before, is it BYOC?
Tsubasa Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 I've never been to this before, is it BYOC? Most matches will be run on Gamecenter's consolized arcade cabs, which have sticks that you can use. If you would rather use your own controller, there are USB ports on the cabs. If you want to play on the stream setup, you'll either need to use your own controller or borrow someone else's.

If I wanted to bring my own pad, would it have to be PS3 or 360?
Shining Aquas Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Shoutouts to Kaigu for blowing up Norcal with his Shakespearean Mixup.

totoroslayer Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks to everyone who showed up! We had some awesome matches, and obviously, a taste of where NorCal needs to be as a scene. Can someone send me a list of the top 3 in all the different games? Shoutouts to Kaigu for blowing up Norcal with his Shakespearean Mixup. Why you always gotta make us cry, Aquas? T_T
ShelledMenace Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Despite not having as many people as SNCI normally does (at least it kinda seemed that way), it was super great. Shoutouts to Yumeka-I mean Gamma for having a super close Grand Finals with Huey. Shoutouts to Dacid-Huey. STOP MASHING. j.D. Yes. Shoutouts to Kaigu Mitsuru for the slaughter. Shoutouts to doing slightly better than usual in a tourney. It's almost like progress. Shoutouts to GC for always having soda. I had a cough and my throat was so dry lol. Soda y u so cheaaaap? Shoutouts to P4A for having lots of entrants (I think? Right?) and just being fun. Still need to buy the game but whatever.
Shining Aquas Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Why you always gotta make us cry, Aquas? T_T Cause that's what I do: make people laugh, remain free at everything that isn't Arcana Heart, and gallivant around like I actually know shit. I also provide setups.
Honnou Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Glad I came, despite being sick and exhausted from work T^T hopefully this is my last 0-2 in persona lol It was great seeing PNW again, more of you guys need to come out for drinks besides Huey next time! Watch out for falling pots Knew you guys would wreck norcal but I expected more out of huey253, stop TAC-ing sideways you jerk lol Thanks to Chun, FKO and Myung as always Congrats to me for winning the Alien vs Predator tournament (7 credits lol ) just as Kaigu won Grand Finals
