I went to a gas station/convenience store yesterday to buy some cheetos. I asked the store clerk "how much are these cheetos?" He looked at my worn nikes, white hanes shirt with holes in it, and 5 year old blue jeans and stated "50 cents." I thought it was weird that he gave me a look over before stating the price but I chalked it up to me being very attractive and him being a possible homosexual.
I stayed around to look at the magazine section and to possibly entice a date from the store clerk. I always liked pudgy blondes who are bodybuilding hobbyists.
I noticed a well dressed businessman fill up his bmw with premium gas. I remember him because I thought "wow me and him are so different. I'm relaxing and poor and he's hurried and rich. I have no stress and he's loaded with it." He went up to the counter to pay for his gas.
As he was walking out a bag of cheetos caught his eye. It was the same exact kind that I purchased. I thought "wow I guess we have some similarities." The businessman gave the cheetos to the clerk with no care as to price. The clerk immediately said "two fifty please."
Long story short, the clerk was incontrol.
Simply beautiful

I am surprised a gas station clerk could care so much about pricing out the items for the customer instead of letting the computer do the work. Oh and I am glad to hear the BMW driver was putting in the right gas for his car.
I don't know why people are crying about the location. It is their house, it is not like they are a huge company(yet) that can just set up shop in some random town while renting out a building for a weekend(Well they can but the price would be a lot higher). It is a good idea, you won't be an expert but you will also get to witness how they play in person, and learn a thing or two(or more) from them to improve your game.

The price is 250$ as an entry fee.
We will raise this in future camps.

All the best to those hosting and those going.

lol you gave in, eh? I do think that it's fair to post it.
That's really not a bad price, IMO. If you're serious about getting better in SC2, and if you think that this camp can really improve your skill, that is. Hopefully, people will be able to make the time and money commitments! I think you guys are doing a great thing :-)
|
Sounds like a great idea.
I do love the irony of flamers calling them nerds while being members of an SC2 site though. 
Cheers, can't wait for the streams!

250$ Entry Fee ....
Does that mean there's a 100$ Lodging Fee + 55$ Coaching Fee + 149$ Other Services Rendered Fee + 5% Tax?

He's afraid that there's other fees along with the $250 entry fee.

Nope. It costs 250$ to attend + whatever you spend on travel and your own food. We will provide some meals though.
|
250$ is nothing £150 not sure on the exhange rate at the moment for 3 days with a professional. £50 a day, not many people would get out of bed for that.
Great idea guys wish you luck.

roflwaffles this was awesome, god bless Gary Larson
250 aint bad for any 3day nerd event imo, food and lodging plus they pick you up at the airport?
Sweet deal
|
Well, considering this is 72 hours, and Machines hourly rate is $20/hour, I'd say this is a pretty good deal.
Not to mention the experiences you could have.
I mean, I once paid 400 bucks for a train ticket to go to PAX with a couple of my friends in Seattle. You know what we did when we got there? Hung out and played StarCraft: Brood War. This is really quite awesome, in my opinion.
|
Yeah. First I didnt like the idea that much. But considering the price its really cool. Seems like they are definitely doing it for the comunity...
|
Actually Geoff, we have all meals included in that price. If you don't want to eat our food, you're more then welcome to purchase your own food. We have several stores near us.
|
I was going to ridicule you for this initiative by saying stuff like you're leveraging your minor reknown in a tiny community for profit by exploiting the gullible. You're prostituting yourself to the friendless, etc. But now that the price has been revealed, it doesn't seem that bad. Good luck.
|
Wish I could go... 
|
Hell for $250 I'd do it if not for the fact I live on the east coast. Machine is my boy I'd love to sit down and learn from him.

For 275$ can I get a chance at machine in the octagon?

Honestly $250 isn't bad. You get roughly 4 days of gaming. Most 5 day sessions at a Summer Camp run about the same.
6 days at Camp Woodward average about $900, so look at other offers like this before crying foul on the price.
If I wasn't married w/kids I'd probably go. $250 isn't that much and it sounds fun. I also love how people see a little bit about Arizona on CNN and claim that the entire state is racist. For as culturally diverse as these forums are we sure are quick to jump on stereotypes.
