Oh what the hell he even used the same litchi image on my youtube channel.

More like I'm going to clean up your messy ass place, because I'm stupid TYPE-A+ blood like that.

STILL no Litchi merchandise, even uncreative ones. Also, might be able to get a ride by riding with my friend Roy up to Davis. Housing is the real issue.

Side Note: This might be the first time I've gone back to Davis since I left that campus. Not entirely sure yet, but can anyone house me if I end up going?

There's planning for the next NCI to be in SJSU once more, so do plan accordingly for either the 6th or 13th of next month. ~Chun

The finalized date will be decided probably two weeks before the actual date; there's still a lot of question as to the November 6th being available when November 13th is that much more favorable for the CS Club. For now let's operate on the assumption of November 6th. Also, in reply to the Venue fee, the current idea is 4$ a game and 4$ venue fee, where 2 goes to CS Club and 2 goes to NCI. Is this raise for the CS Club hopefully somewhat more reasonable, it won't go higher than this, and is fairer? ~Chun

So what's the current thought on what day to hold NCI on? No recording is fine as the ranbat will still occur; streaming will be decent, etc, but I would like opinions on the next date, as I am relaying these dates to the CS Club. Questions to Answer Here: 1) Recording of Matches for 13th, or Stream-Only for 6th (Might not be needed for BB if PNW has a stream, MB and GG Only)? 2) Continue with these dates or hold next NCI 20th or 27th? 3) Current monthly schedule or bi-monthly? Please leave opinions. ~Chun

The date depends on the availability of the CS Club; there is a biomedical engineering conference the same day and we're not sure about attendance of the officers. If they do go, it'll have to be the 13th. Also, Nov. 13th does look a lot more likely, since PNW's tournament is Nov. 6th.

Important Next Venue Information! Keep your schedules open. Possible that we will host November 6th or November 13th next month! Details in the upcoming weeks! ~Chun

First off, thank you to everyone for showing up to this NCI event at SJSU; I had a blast running the entire place for the first time, and are glad to have heard it was enjoyable. However, I'm not the only one who is credit to its success; it is thanks to the GG, BB, and MB community for the setups and completing everything on time. I only provided the space to set up all the equipment, without all of your efforts this couldn't have happened. The other stars of this event are actually the members of the CS Club; they were sitting on the white board side of the tables overseeing everything. I technically do not have the authorization myself to hold rooms after hours to late hour. The officers volunteered to stay until the festivities were over for the sake of our fighting game scene. A big thanks should go out to them as well. I'm interested in any suggestions or feedback as to the configuration of the layout; was everything visible enough for both rooms? How was the space for the streaming area and casuals afterward? Did the registration process make sense to you, etc. I'd appreciate any thoughts that I could use to plan for the next time I'm able to grab this venue again, possibly next month once more. One of the main concerns I had was segregation of scenes based on game; I originally had the intent of holding a tournament area, then the casuals area in the other room, but thought otherwise due to the spectators that would come congesting the room too much, as it may have become a fire hazard (The preliminary spectators in the door told me this). I was really concerned about the tournaments running and finishing earlier, so I didn't want to reserve a certain setup only for casuals, I decided to start the tournament times late so the earlier hours could be meet & greet as well as warm-up. People have also told me classically poverty games and unorthodox games would have also been played at NCI, thus why I reserved the larger room for such. Also, one of the perks of the current configuration was the ease of switching the stream setups; whoever thought of that dual stream setup deserves commendation, as it made the transition relatively smooth unlike the gear re-organizing at Eudemonia. I believe if the information was updated a lot sooner in the front we could have had potentially 10 more people show up to setting as well; I expected 60-70 people, and 42 arrived not counting spectators. On a Side Note, Just A Random Idea: "Interesting Game of the Month" These tournaments are all about how much hype you can get to grow the scene, for the fun of it all. I recently entered a Mortal Kombat II DDR pad tournament, which was absurd, but absolutely hilarious; things like Jackie Chan, Shaq-Fu, or that one Wii fighting game with the horrible hitboxes held for free or a significantly reduced fee (1$ entry) being held on the side until the Grand Final Match, which would be put on stream, would be hype. I don't know the plausibility of this since it depends on what IPlayWinner has to say about it, as well as how many enjoy the idea for the "lulz". Again, thanks to everyone, do leave feeback. ~Chun

Preliminary BB RESULTS: 1st) COPPERDABBIT ("A stork, what is that?) 2nd) DACIDBRO, OR ACCORDING TO THE STREAM, K-ON!BRO 3rd) SPIRIT JUICE, AKA SALTY JUICE (I'M GETTING BANNED) More detailed results later by Spirit Juice. P.S. I'm a huge commentary scrub, thanks for listening to my rabble, hahaha. ~Chun

See you all there today!

IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION PART 2 PARKING IN SJSU GARAGES ON THE WEEKEND IS NOT FREE. I REPEAT, NOT FREE. Parking services have informed me the change for weekends is that as long as you have an All-Day permit (Which is 5$ On weekends rather than 8), south, west, and north garages you are good to go until whenever. The 4th street garage next to the library charges 3$ after 6PM. The West garage closes its gates to INCOMING cars at 11PM. After 11PM cars are still free to leave but you risk a gate malfunction that's been happening recently according to services. So ultimately, I believe you still need to pay for parking no matter where you go on campus, as they're all part of the SJSU campus. If you are willing to take a 40$ fine risk, you can park without a permit.

Chiaki Takahashi's voice is one of the sexiest voices of our generation, REAL TALK.

WHERE DOES THAT PUT ME P.S just wanted to give you an advance notice of my will since you're killing me tomorrow: "Scott will be required to re-watch K-ON! and K-ON!! until he stops being so tsundere about animu." "Scott will be required to maintain a healthy relationship with a DS Girlfriend."

I planned for as many extenuating circumstances as possible, and are double checking the area tomorrow for final arrangements. By Tsubasa's reply probably later this evening, I will have finalized plans in terms of access, placement, and general setup areas as well as security settings and management of new people. Hell or high water, this venue is mine, and I'm determined to make it run as smoothly and enjoyable as possible. Leave this one to me, and blame me if it doesn't work out, not yourself as the circumstances of blame and failure to deliver will be mine alone. ~Chun

I already have my Sony TV with minimal lag via playtests with Dacid, Coopa, and most other people, so I think you can use it as a sufficient setup/component. As I said before, I have Component In, VGA, and HDMI ports. I know nothing about the details required to work with this equipment, but you are guaranteed my TV for stream, so if you're going to pick up a splitter, pick it up. Scott will lag test it but I've played Kelvin recently too and he's had no problems with it. P.S. VGA means VP for the lulz in HD ~Chun

Why so salty, salty juice! You watched High School of the Dead

It's ok, LUNA IS ALL SPAM ANYWAY, combo super without extra inputs! lolol

IT'S ON RIN. I'M PLAYING THE GIRL WITH 1 SPECIAL MOVE AND UNLIMITED ASSIST WORKS, CALLING IT NOW I'd play Lilith but if you play Luna it's worse than the Nu Tager Matchup in CT.

Setup time will start as early as 10AM, tournaments run later that day. Ample warm up time and organization for registration of tournaments is meant to be the purpose of having such a large before-window; meet and greet new players! I'll post some signs up around the building to get people to the place once they find the building. I'll double confirm parking on weekends being free as well. As Katana said, for people that said they could bring things, bring them for sure, as you're now in the total count for equipment being brought. ~Chun

Last I checked with my CS Club peers, they do lock the West parking garage at around 11 to 12 for overnight parking, I was especially aware during the LAN party last week. We have free reign of hours in the room so long as an officer is present, so don't mind the possibility of security being an issue. Though the doors downstairs will lock, and we'll need to manually open the doors for people as it goes on.

Here, to clarify: PLEASE PARK IN THIS GARAGE http://www.sjsu.edu/parking/pages/detailsouth.html This garage is literally right next to Macquarrie Hall as well. ADVISE NOT TO PARK HERE http://www.sjsu.edu/parking/pages/detailwest.html
