There will be livestream and I'll try to find people with nice cameras to take photographs and record the event. And I will of course meet all of your fanatic expectations and personally make sure that it is as awkward as possible for Cholera, seeing as how I will probably be the only female participant there who actively plays StarCraft. <333

If you think you will be coming, please email one of the above email addresses, or PM me on here. I will then send you back directions, times and a more specific location regarding the tournament and/or talk.

(also it really helps to get a headcount... worst fear = 9001 people coming and not having enough room for them all)

~~Well I look a little bit more than cookies~~. For example research fundings (which I can spend on cookies), academic reputation (which will allow me to find a better job with higher pay, which turns into cookies), strength of the department (again, better job => higher pay => more cookies).

I've gotten replies back from a couple of people... which is great - but if you expressed interest in coming and haven't emailed/PMed us about it yet, please do so! Do it for the StarCraft cake, kids

See you a week from today!

An email I got from U Chicago about my application today. It's pretty awesome. Oh btw... if anybody here has a job in the admissions office at U Chicago you should PM me.

Top Ten Reasons You Should Turn In Your Early Action Application on Sunday

1. Dean Nondorf wants You! To apply to the University of Chicago.

2. Winter will be SO MUCH WARMER, comparatively. To January 20, 1985.

3. You can't get into college if you don't apply!

4. Turning in a college application is a time honored All Saint's Day tradition.

5. Procrastinating is only cool and fun once you're in college.

6. You are one step closer to winning a Nobel Prize! Or at least closer to people who have won the Nobel Prize.

7. If you turn in your application early, Jon and Kate will a) get back together or b) stay divorced. Choose your own adventure!

8. Every time an Early Action application is sent in, a fairy gets its wings.

9.That Hogwarts letter isn't coming. This is the next best thing.

10. You send us an application, we send you cookies. (Note: The University of Chicago cannot guarantee the delivery of any and all baked goods to applicants.)

Our club has two focuses - one concentrates on our role within the UChicago community, and the other upon the greater StarCraft community. Because we focus a lot on CSL matches and the relationship with other "skilled" players, a great majority of our students often assume that MICRO is just a feeder into intercollegiate matches. To appeal to more UC students, the tournament this quarter was designed to be a UChicago player only event and to draw people who normally don't play because they fear they aren't good enough. However, we wanted the tournament to remain open to people outside of the university to spectate if they wanted to (because of CholeraSC's visit, and because of the lectures and workshop the next day by the SC Prof).

However, if there is enough interest, and if people want to plan with me, we can start hosting tournaments open to all of Chicago and surrounding vicinities.

And I think a lot of people from other schools who are coming down here for the weekend are content to just watch and have fun in the audience. You are welcome to bring your laptops and play during/after the tournament, but I don't think it would be feasible at this point to change the structure and focus of the fall tourney. Sorry! Next quarter we'll plan something fun for everyone

I watched part of the livestream (had to go out to have dinner with some peeps), but I hope someone took creepy stalker photos of Cholera for those who couldn't be there in person. Preferably "every square inch of his body" lol.
