Great, GREAT, news guys! The ranbat is now 100% fully functional and ready to go. Everything you need to know (from parking to carpooling to refreshments to setups) will be answered in our event thread. I have a favor to ask here from anyone who knows how to split cables n' such. I want to showcase the top 8 from MBAA/GGAC on the large screen HDTV. Of course, we're not going to run the tournament on that TV, but I want to split it between the tube TV and the HDTV. Doing so will allow you to watch matches anywhere within the room. Will anybody be able to lend equipment or know how to follow up on this task? If so, then can I count on you bringing it?

Parking Setup: For those of you that don't know, you cannot park in any other area other than the visitor parking lot. The RAs and local students say that it's 'okay' to park there, but - outside of the visitor lot - we cannot guarantee that you'll get a ticket or whatnot. Edit: VERY IMPORTANT! When you enter Taylor hall, you need to sign in your NAME upon the guest check-in sheet and WHOM you're visiting (in this case, it's Ray). If you do not sign in, I cannot guarantee your stay here in Fremont. >:3 Remember, upon entering the venue, I implore you to practice common sense! Don't be a douchebag, don't be a litter freak, vandalize property, steal equipment, and anything else that can constitute gambling. I don't have the patience to deal with that crap and neither should you. So let's have a nice clean fight. >:3 Edit2: Unlike last time, I'm not bringing snacks n' such. Simply put, I didn't get my pay check yet so I have no moniez! D: Therefore, I'm leaving refreshments up to you guys. If you want to be a saint, then I ask that you can bring in whatever munchies you want. OrionXElite is being an awesome guy and bringing a case of WATER BOTTOS. Thanks! I encourage everyone else to do the same.

I will add everything by today...For now, just look at the ranbat setup.

I don't get paid until next week. Unless my friend pays me back $30, I can only CREDIT INSTALL!! Edit: I'm making the ranbat setup right now with all the little details (including parking).

Good news guys! From what Gamma told me, it sounds like we're good to go. I still need to hear what these 'rules' are, but assuming that we practice common sense, then it shouldn't be a big deal. I'll update this thread with new info about the parking situation and ranbat setup. Regarding setups; I would like to offer this suggestion... If you have a TV, or ps2 setup and have not posted on the thread, please bring it. I want to cram as many stations, as I can, to fit in extra casual stations. Put it this way, would you like to wait 20 minutes watching :3 or bust out with some hearty GGAC casuals? DECIDE THE DESTINY! :3~ I'm looking for, at least, 4 extension cords, 8 surge protectors, and 10 TV setups + 2 ping pong paddes/net/balls Also, there's an HDTV mounted on the wall. I was wondering if we can get some composite video splitter to show on the TV and HDTV at the same time. If so, then we can show the finals on the big screen (instead of having people huddled around one TV).

Yes

Will classrooms have internet connection? :o And if so, will it be password protected?

Then can I come by Tuesday to check things out at Devry? Will you be awake in the morning? @.@ And if you have to use a classroom, then can I assume that it will be ready by Saturday? o_O

Thanks Katana. I'll put that up on the first page. Since there's speculation on carpooling, I will only take the following people: - Meowmix and Qwerty. Please note that this a one-way trip only. Unless you want to go back home early, then you have to find your ride back yourself...somehow.

I'm poor. Leave me be. Btw, gas money is $5 dollars. :3

:3

So, you suggest that I buy you in instead? o3O

Alright, here's the people whom I'm going to carpool with for Fremont: - Qwerty - Dakanya - Meowmix I will not take anymore than that. I would appreciate top tier gas money. How about this; whoever pays me gas money will get a free buy in to any - one - tournament! :O Gas money is $5 :3 I want to know too. To be quite honest, I'm getting burnt out prepping up tourneys; so ping pong would be a nice change. I SHALL OVERCOME OFFENSE WITH DEFENSE AND GIMMICKS. :3 Update on equipment: - TVs: 3 - CRTs: 2 o People who confirmed to bring TVs/CRTs: - Qwerty, Tsubasa, YAT, Gamma (2) - PS2: 7 GGAC Setup(s), 2 MBAA Setup(s) o People who confirmed to bring GGAC/MBAA setups: - GGAC: Aurora Borealis, OrionxElite, Qwerty, Meowmix, Gamma, Magz(?), Honnou - MBAA: Tsubasa, YAT - Surge Protectors: 3 - Chairs: TBA - BYOC AJ, that mini TV is top tier. Could you bring that for a backup TV or whatnot? Edit: Cross posted from SRK, Edit2: Check out the first page for newfound updates.

Despite the long - long - wait time, I've had quite a fun time watching loads of high level matches. Thanks for the turnout guys. All I can say is that I've been, deeply, humbled from this experience. After losing consecutive matches, it is a - refreshing - reminder that there's someone better than I. So, first and foremost, I want to apologize to anyone for my, overly, saltiness in the distant - or near - past. I let my frustration get the better side of my judgement. But if we had gone to In-N-Out, then I would have been extra salty. >:O

Alright, I might make some last minute arrangements and re-schedule the dinner appt. If so, then I will show up.

Update on equipment: - TVs: 1 - CRTs: 2 - PS2: 6 GGAC Setup(s), 1 MBAA Setup(s) - Surge Protector: 3 - Chairs: TBA - BYOC Somebody please bring an extension cord. D: My assumption is that we'll think that someone else will bring a ps2...so nobody will bring one.

You should come aurora. Fremont Bart Station is about 15 minutes from the venue.

Will you bring that for the ranbat? :o

dakanya, meowmix and qwerty need a ride.

Wait, what? You know, that's not a bad idea. If we issued those beeper things to summon people, when they need to play, then it might make tournaments run smoother :o

Bottled water would be - most - appreciated. We are grateful for any refreshment you decide to bring. Just note that you are not obligated to bring anything but your soul. :3 Thanks for the scoop. This brings us to the following setups: 1 TVs 3 PS2 GGAC setups 1 MBAA setups 1 Surge protector Since we lack setups, I will make the following statement, "Please assume that nobody is bringing anything to the ranbat. If you can bring a TV, PS2, or stick, then bring it. I haven't tested the lag input at Fremont, so assume that's not a legit setup.

Nope. Bringing a ps2 means $250 per hour for the room. 83

aww crap
