You're looking at ~$6-7k/month in flight + hotel expenses that way(5 guys, 20 roundtrip tickets a month and 40 hotel room nights). Probably cheaper to get a slightly smaller house in South Orange County or North Ventura County(or Riverside if you really want to be cheap) and hire a van to drive you there and back.

There are 2 variations. One when you're completely stomping, and one that is safe to use every game.
Bork -> PD -> LW is standard, but not as fun
Bork -> PD -> PD -> Zephyr is way more fun, and is hilarious. Also if you have a lot of peel you can blow people up. If you're playing to win I would use the first one over this though.
Also for machine gun Vayne I usually get 3 into Tumble for acceptable cooldown, then max W. You have tons of mobility in fights, and make the most of your attack speed.
However if they play a 4 threat team as is the case fairly often in Solo Queue, standard BT Vayne is probably better, as their HP is too low to make W worth it.

Why would you not just have the manager drive in a van? With the TSA and LAX being total shit its probably faster.

i think it actually turned out okay in the end. at least, i don't feel like it turned out poorly. maple got like 90000 responses on his blog from old fans and new. people really liked that he opened up. maple's been doing really well since. plus i feel like he's very well-liked inside our house so he's starting to feel more comfortable. now hopefully we can turn some wins and the guys will stay off reddit like i told them to when we lose x_x

What are 2 other pokemons I should have on my team?

Those 3 have good type coverage and are very strong but not OP or anything. Is espeon good against AI? I always thought that espeon would be more suited to competetive, or singles 6, and guessing battles. Espeon is pretty cute though.
can i get pokemon advice too? i bought white 2 not long ago and i'm slowly playing it through. decided to start with the water guy since vileroze started with the fire guy and i don't want to lose when he challenges me. i have a huge bias toward eeveelutions and triple-evolution pokemon so i always try to make my team consist of those. currently i'm looking at finishing with samurott, electabuzz's evolution, arcanine (freaking hurts me that he doesn't triple evolve but what other fires are an option?), an eevee, and the cute little aron dragon guy. then probably an HM slave?
which fire could i replace arcanine with?
which eevee is the best for my comp? i've never had a leafeon or glaceon (or umbreon or espeon for that matter, since this is my first pokemon since blue), are either of them viable?
who's a good HM slave? is aron's fully evolved guy good? i remember playing a couple minutes of black 2 and that guy was tanky as shiiiiiii
is snorlax catchable? he's my favorite pokemon

And if you don't have any peel go bork>shyv>randuin+qss.Since you are vayne you still kill people but they can't kill you.
Not to mention a lot of people just focus the vayne no matter what and you'll just waste their time as a bonus.

Ugh Riverside, that place sucks. My work was considering relocating to Riverside and it was met with such vitriolic response that they backed down.
I remember I had a friend who rented a room on a beach house in Newport Beach, and I remember that it wasn't actually that expensive. Then again, he is a computer programmer with a hot specialization so it might not have been that expensive for him, I don't remember.
Still, there are certainly a number of places near the coast that aren't prohibitively expensive...

Marn may have been scummy in Guilty Gear but I know he's very intelligent. I doubt he's retarded enough to pull something that can potentially get in legal trouble with Riot. In addition, Megazero really posts like he has zero sense of what goes on the real world. (Don't quote his Carnegie Melon to me, I get Harvard/Yale candidates at a job interview who I turn down regularly due to zero real world sense).
The fact that the players names was on the lease and not Marn's DAY ONE should've told them they needed to watch their shit when relegations was coming up. (aka advance notice of moving out, cleaning up the place as much as they can to challenge security deposit damages, etc).
BTW, I think VES really should play ball in terms of PR. VileRoze definitely seems like a guy who can easily gain popularity for his team. The guy comes across as very likable in all his interviews cause he seems like "every man". I used to dislike him cause I thought he looked like a troll but he def won me over with the way he interviews.

Riot subsidizes for flight/travel costs; so all that is free.

Riverside housing cost is pretty damn cheap; even though it's a complete shit hole to live (living here right now; hue).
Only 1h 30min drive to Santa Monica too; also great internet here as well. Regularly get 13 ping when playing League of Legends. It's probably one of the best choices for LCS teams; assuming they don't go outside; and just stay in AC'd room.

I would say, keep arcanine, since probably the easiest-to get fire type aside from it is Camerupt, which is kinda not that great.
Leafeon, since Electavire and Arcanine don't like ground type moves. Umbreon would probably be the second best becasue it's unreasonably bulky, and gets Moonlight at lvl33 in BW2.
If you can get from the watery hidden grotto on Route 3, Bibarel is the best HM.slave. Alomomola also kinda works, you will only need strength and cut on something else.
I would not recommend leveling Aron, if you are likely to battle someone, because it would just add 1 more ground-weak poke to your team. (For a playthrough, it doesn't really matter.) Probably a Scrafty, or some other guy from the fighting-dark-psychic circle.
EDIT: Snorlax can be got with quite a bit of luck from a trade in Nimbasa, after you do the Lost Item-phoning-bullshit.

Hydreigon instead of Aron he is so beast. I'd probably take Leafeon instead of Umbreon bc Leafeon is cuter and also a great physical wall against Earthquake and special attackers that Samurott is weak to.

What are 2 other pokemons I should have on my team?

Those 3 have good type coverage and are very strong but not OP or anything. Is espeon good against AI? I always thought that espeon would be more suited to competetive, or singles 6, and guessing battles. Espeon is pretty cute though. can i get pokemon advice too? i bought white 2 not long ago and i'm slowly playing it through. decided to start with the water guy since vileroze started with the fire guy and i don't want to lose when he challenges me. i have a huge bias toward eeveelutions and triple-evolution pokemon so i always try to make my team consist of those. currently i'm looking at finishing with samurott, electabuzz's evolution, arcanine (freaking hurts me that he doesn't triple evolve but what other fires are an option?), an eevee, and the cute little aron dragon guy. then probably an HM slave? which fire could i replace arcanine with? which eevee is the best for my comp? i've never had a leafeon or glaceon (or umbreon or espeon for that matter, since this is my first pokemon since blue), are either of them viable? who's a good HM slave? is aron's fully evolved guy good? i remember playing a couple minutes of black 2 and that guy was tanky as shiiiiiii is snorlax catchable? he's my favorite pokemon I would say, keep arcanine, since probably the easiest-to get fire type aside from it is Camerupt, which is kinda not that great. Leafeon, Electavire and Arcanine don't like ground type moves. Umbreon would probably be the second best becasue it's unreasonably bulky, and gets Moonlight at lvl33 in BW2. If you can get from the watery hidden grotto on Route 3, Bibarel is the best HM.slave. Alomomola also kinda works, you will only need strength and cut on something else. I would not recommend leveling Aron, if you are likely to battle someone, because it would just add 1 more ground-weak poke to your team. (For a playthrough, it doesn't really matter.) Probably a Scrafty, or some other guy from the fighting-dark-psychic circle. Hydreigon instead of Aron he is so beast. I'd probably take Leafeon instead of Umbreon bc Leafeon is cuter and also a great physical wall against Earthquake and special attackers that Samurott is weak to.
Yeah, I forgot about Hydreigon.

just staaaaaaaaaahp talking about the MRN salary thing
like literally 0 of you have any clue about any depth of what happened, all we have is an incoherent post by megazero "just as a warning" that also hints strongly that he was fucked by marn. marn is one of the few league people i actively dislike, but there's no reason any discussion regarding the team or their salary, by people who know nothing about any of it, should be taking place here. Hmm, the fact that you do not condone pitchforks and witch hunts is highly suspicious. Is the Velocity manager putting money into his own pockets too? Is the whole system corrupt? Quick, make a Reddit post! He's probably sour about the whole Maplestreet thing on reddit. Not that I blame him. Teach me how to Reddit so I can find what you're talking about. It sounds delicious. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1ho3t9/can_we_stop_the_velocity_bashing/caw8vx3It was a bit sad, mostly because people started bringing up how Reddit helped VES find a gaming house and what not.

Yea if you have the patience to level up Volcanora he's probably the strongest fire-type you can easily obtain in White 2. You can get him fairly early into the game too although he won't learn any good moves until much later in the game, but once he does he's an absolute beast.

BTW, I think VES really should play ball in terms of PR. VileRoze definitely seems like a guy who can easily gain popularity for his team. The guy comes across as very likable in all his interviews cause he seems like "every man". I used to dislike him cause I thought he looked like a troll but he def won me over with the way he interviews. Daddy Roze. Those player spotlight videos made by Riot are so good. Sign em all up!

Espeon is super cute and OP tier. But she's a set up pokemon and you need to build around it. Less good against AI because harder to abuse Magic Bounce (ability from Dream World) to its fullest. If you want to set up then you want to abuse things like Prankster-Whimsicott or Entrainment-Durant to set up your sweeper who just clears the field for you.

What are 2 other pokemons I should have on my team? They don't need to be Jayce level OP but should be at least as strong as Nasus or Renekton and need to not be permabanned by Nintendo's random rules. What's the entire team? I can't really say anything if I don't know what else is going with the Salamence lol. Also what are Salamence's specs? Mixmence? Physical? ChoiceSpecsDracoMeteor? And is this for Battle Subway or Elite 4/World Tournament grinding or what? Probably going to be choice scarf physical mence or dd mence. This is for Battle Subway/World tournament crap, or whatever is for the three man single battle thing. It would also be used for battling people online possibly and most definitely for trashing little kids that think they are good at pokemons (although honestly with just salamence i could beat all 3 because they are worse than ai). Short answer is in nintendos singles 3 thing. All I know is that I want a fuckin Salamence. I've made themed teams in the past and now I just want random pokemons.
Scarf-Mence is poor for Battle Subway because it's used as a revenge killer that then takes over. In the Battle Subway you have so few pokemon to begin with you're not realistically going to get a Scarf-Mence Moxie sweep off. Because by that time either they're already dead or you're dead. If you have a hard set-up support handy then you want to go hard set-up sweep like with Dragon Dance Salamence/Dragonite or Quiver Dance Volcrona or something.
Honestly, if you want to just set up sweep everything just go Encore-Whimsicott, let it die, then go Entrainment Durant, swap into your sweeper, use Protect to block every odd turn, set up, sub up and sweep. The AI is too stupid to swap out its Encore-Truant pokemon so you don't even need to Arena Trap it. It's a very mechanical way of grinding the Battle Tower and not a lot of thinking involved in playing this strategy, but it works. Also if you Choice Specs/Focus Sash the two leads then you're also 100% hax proof.
And anyone who's played since the Battle Frontier in Gen III knows the AI is a hax-god that will hax you every time it can.

Eeveelutions are awesome. Before anyone joins the LoL Staff, I interview them about their favourite Eeveelutions.
Anyway. Arcanine is bad. Great base stats but really shallow move pool. Ditch him. Get a Heatran for your fire needs and is also a defensive tank. Hm. Actually, how competitive do you want to be? Cause I wouldn't actually use any of them lol. But then what I'd be aiming for in a good team is also probably very different from what you're looking for.
If you're just playing for fun then just use whatever you want really haha. Also some stuff can be hard to get or need breeding. If you're not breeding or whatever, your IV/EVs will likely be far more impactful than your overall team choice and strategy tbh. Agron (Aron's Fully Evolved forum) is not that good. UU or RU tier I think. If you want a Steel, then Lucario is probably the way to go, or Heatran or Ferroseed.
The best Eeveelution competitively is probably Jolteon (Choice Specs, Life Orb or Choice Scarf with Thunderbolt/Hidden Power Ice coverage for at least neutral to everything and Signal Beam/Substitute/Baton Pass/Volt Switch) and Espeon (Magic Bounce support).

Oh, come off your high horse. I'm saying he's not dumb (which you basically called him) but I am also aware that it's probably his first time living in a place of his own, since he's probably in the dorms at CMU. You don't get that kind of know-how from your parents (such as cleaning a living space to the point where it looks like nobody has ever lived in it before) unless you moved around a lot growing up. Megazero's not an idiot, but he's also in a situation that is scary new territory and it sounds like he's stressed out over it, and he doesn't ENTIRELY know how to properly deal with it.
