Why? I assume you guys don't go into hibernation while not at school. Why is there this stigma that we can't have a LAN during your break? I assume everyone going to Waterloo lives either in the GTA or KW area... I can drive people too if they need a ride!
I think what he means is, students are forced to move out of the university's residences within 24 hours of their last exams.
Also, many UW students alternate between school terms and co-op terms, so many won't be living in Waterloo next term, therefore they'll probably move out around the 21st.
In my case, I'll still be living in the same place next term, so I have really no incentive to go anywhere else for the holidays (plus, my PC is a desktop so it's not really convenient for me to take it home or anything).

damn
i missed the first tournament (the one bill got like top 3 or something in) b/c i was in co-op
now i'm gonna miss this one for the same reason
sigh~ When you mean Bill got top 3 do you mean the one at UWP: Beck Hall? I played in that one against sum guy in the semi-finals which isn't sayin much since there was only 16 people, but then again I did only start 4 months ago ^^
A group of engineers held a StarCraft tournament over the summer in MC. The organization wasn't great, but the tournament was still fun  . Due to time constraints and odd brackets, they came up with an idea to hold a 3-person "finals": each of us would play each other once, and if no one person was able to beat the other two, we'd have to play in a 3-person FFA to determine the winner  . The final 3 were Bandit, myself (not Bill aka Cambium), and a 3rd person whom I never played. The prize was $50, which Bandit won by beating myself (*shakes fist*  ) and the 3rd person.
Speaking of which, I know two of the guys who played in that tournament with us, and I'm sure at least one of them still has the big list of the email addresses of the participants. I'll ask him to send an email to those people to let them know about the facebook group (and I suppose I'll direct them to this topic as well).

I'll be in Whitby and Toronto Dec 20 - Dec 30. I am willing to drive far to play in LAN.
Someone do it up!! ^_^
I guess I'll bring my mouse and keyboard just in case, but it does seem a little late to organize this. We could just meet up sometime at a LAN center and play some games? Maybe the 21st, and then carry that over to watch Jaedong rip Stork's still-beating heart out. OMG, come down to Waterloo so we can play some Third Strike! My friend Yang is hosting 3s at his place on the 21st: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=136563&page=2#49Unfortunately I have a dental appointment in Brampton on that day, so I won't be there until the evening. Unless... wait a sec, if you drove to Waterloo, would you be passing near/through Brampton? If so, and if you decided to come, then that would be incredibly coincidental and convenient O_O. Then after 3s, we could watch SC with whoever else is still here! And you're welcome to sleep on my couch if needed. (I don't have any extra blankets/pillows, though.) I'm also free for StarCraft, 3s, everything for the rest of the holidays (except Christmas day) .
Dude, I am a scrub at 3s. My only "decent" skills come from Super Turbo, but I think that's a much simpler game. As a result, you'll see me playing 3S and Hyper Fighting as if it's ST - doing way too many jump ins, jumping in for speed instead of dashing, using sweeps and fierces... alright I just realized I don't need to spell out why I'm a scrub, but I am. I love to play but I'm not any good, so I won't be playing anything but casuals 
What the hell, residence actually forces you out? At Queens you were "required to be out 24 hours after you last exam" but they didn't enforce it. I know a lot of the foreign students stayed in residence the entire break.
That being said, I think my dream of a tournament on the 21st followed by the OSL is probably coming up too quickly to get anything good going, plus I don't know where we would watch the finals. I'd suggest my parents' house, but I don't know how they would feel about me having Team Liquid over at 4 am to watch Starcraft, not to mention us waking my family up multiple times from the cheering.
How does Friday, December 28th look for some SC LAN? I'm in downtown Toronto anyways on the night of the 27th, and I'll probably ready to get leaving Toronto around noon (I just typo'd that as noob -_-). I couldn't care less where we have it, and I'm unfamiliar with details of basically everything west of Toronto, so someone else will have to take the reigns on that. But I am willing to drive around and pick people up if they're reasonably close to my path anyways. Then we'd have hot LAN on LAN action, and I could drop people off on my way home to Whitby.
Obviously the details are fuzzy, but first thing would be picking a city. The options are either downtown Toronto, Markham (I guess) or Waterloo. Once we have the city nailed down we can pick a location and start getting everything together.

they don't actually enforce it (leaving within 24hr of last exam). at least, i'm still here
as far as i know, the only thing they enforce is 'u leave on the 21st'
since that's when they start closing down campus buildings and all that

Hey, none of us are particularly great at 3s, either  . (well, except Yang ^^) We miss supers and combos and do silly stuff all the time. You should come by and just have fun! We're just going to be playing casual games, anyway .
Edit: and while you're there, you could try different joysticks to see which one you prefer .
I'm good for a LAN on the 28th, although:
a) we'd need a place to host it, and
b) I have a desktop PC and a huge CRT monitor, so I'd have to play on someone else's laptop.
As for Res, you can get an exception if you're a foreign student, but otherwise they do force you out. E.g. for most people, they need you out by a certain date so that they can clean your room for the next resident. I've heard that they're getting more strict about it, too, handing out $50 fines to anyone who stays too long (my friends living in UWP told me about this).

:p i m in UW too
my uw address is w25li@uwaterloo.ca

K, im in waterloo, voted for it and the 29th. Now as with bill, my comp is a desktop with an annoyingly large monitor. Now the bonus is, i live fairly close to bill, and i have the place to myself from this coming sunday till like the 1st. So, we could do it up at my place, id just need to know how many people are coming and hope to god most of you have laptops as to not run out of space :p
I also have a wii, gamecube and ps2 that could be put up for some console gaming action.
Or we could use my poker set for poker action

I voted for Waterloo, this Friday.
I'm going to New York on the 31st (hopefully, after I receive my VISA and everything), and I have a shitload of shit to take care of. Anything past next Monday is automatically out of question for me.

Alright the response seems pretty mediocre, unless people are reading this and voting but not posting.
I'm leaving for home in 3 hours, so I'll turn organization over to Bill or Bloody and see what's up in the future.
