I'm actually thinking of driving to cybercraft tonight since I'm bored out of my mind. Anyone interested in joining me? PM or reply here. I would, but getting off the island is currently a nightmare, so I can't join you T_T | ||

I want you guys to take a quick moment to chill with these expectations of this whole thing, because: 1. I don't have a caster lined up 2. I don't even know if we can cast 3. I'm not sure if I want to manually upload replays off each machine or waste players' time making THEM upload it and also if it's anything like before, there won't be autosave so mad replays going to get lost anyways 4. I wouldn't cast the replays after the event even if they existed, but if they do obv. someone is free to take over 5. I'm not sure if streaming from the location is viable, seems like it would be complicated to set up Let me make something clear: I don't think that having VODs or even every replay available, having what will most probably (statistically) be D rank commentary, or having streams is essential to the successful running of this tournament. It's fairly simple: show up, play games, have fun. So, if someone wants to do all these things that people are requesting, be my guest - as long as it is all set up and taken care of before game time, no bullshit. But, I personally will not be doing any of that stuff. Now onto more important things: According to something I vaguely remember hearing while I was tripping is that due to the amount of computers, we won't be able to make reservations, and that the owner of the LAN Cafe is pissed at me for not telling him about it or something? Players shouldn't worry too much about the latter point, at the end of the day we will all be paying customers and wtf is he going to do, complain about the manner in which we give him one of his more profitable business days? I don't think so. Either way, I'd like people in the know to clarify the situation to me so that I know for sure that it's really as unserious as I gathered it to be at the Fallcraft thing. Just to reiterate, I don't expect the lack of reservations to be an issue - it is apparently pretty empty most of the time, and if we all show up and start paying, there is really no issue the way I see it. We can rotate computers as necessary. Anyways, sorry if this post sounded a bit doom and gloom but reading the past few pages made it seem like people were expecting me to do all this shit that I never signed up to do, and being lazy, this put me in a bad mood haha xD Still excited to see you all on the 17th! | ||

UGH making me have to log into TL >< To clarify on behalf of Cybercraft, the owners have no idea this is happening, because you never bothered to tell them, or run it by them I run the place on Saturdays so I'm letting this go on for sake of the community Now to address the other issues: - Streaming is a no go, not for this event at least, dedicated streaming/broadcasting station is in the works - Replays can be retrieved if you want to bother with it, but don't expect me to do it myself - If you can give me a decent headcount I can reserve up to 10 computers for the event, you can run all tournament matches on those computers, the rest will be first come basis - It does get busy in the late afternoon so if possible please use up the reserved computers first - We are getting 20 more computers because management plans on supporting future tournaments and events so in the future it'd be beneficial to talk with them about it For the record this event never happened and all Cybercraft house rules still applies see you guys then :D | ||

Regardless, thank you Certified. Also one more question - how do we go about installing the map pool for each computer? If I remember correctly it's a pain in the ass to do so. | ||

It does if we want the flexibility and comfort that comes with having extra priveleges and reserved computers. | ||

In order to do that, though, I would have to ask the winner of every game to save the replay themselves. | ||

If there is a streaming station I could bring my portable headset which is half decent if that is what you want and webcam if those are not already there of course if this is possible and if you want it. I do have a xsplit paid subscriptions so that might help Smartphone OP. I'll also bring my netbook so that I can sort the replays and give them to you in a nice format. I can also give Certified the maps well beforehand (let's say about a week before) so that he can put it in there. | ||
