Me and some friends go to usyd and love starcraft, but none of us got access xD. Hope the club comes up because it would totally be awesome to watch the GSL finals on a big screen with people.
Yep! Exactly the kind of thing we want going on.
PM me you and your friends names + AID (if they have) + e-mails.
Also get your friends to ask people they know if they want to join! Anyone is welcome.

Hey I go to usyd. I'd be interested in this, but I don't have an access card nor do I plan to get one for various reasons. Will this be an issue  ?

If you don't have Access it won't be an issue at all.
Both Access + non-Access are welcome  .
All this means is that your membership won't contribute towards the quota we need to be an official society. So ask as many of your friends as possible to join and spread the word!
As I mentioned before, just PM me your first + last names, e-mails (and access id if you have it) to register.

Just an update on the situation:
We've got enough members to officially start a society!
I'll keep everyone updated by e-mails. We should have our inaugural general meeting in a couple of weeks.
YAY!!!!!

Hi all
An important update:
Our IGM (inaugural general meeting) must be held before we can register officially.
The tentative date for the IGM is this 5pm Thursday, 7th October. I will keep you updated on location.
This is subject to change because the people who handle room bookings at USYD have not gotten back to me. I have not yet had a booking confirmation even though I submitted one over two weeks ago.
We will have elections for executive positions and give a brief overview of the society. Most importantly, it'll be a chance to meet other Starcraft players at uni!
If you want to nominate yourself for a position for elections, shoot me a PM.
The current positions are:
Vice-President
Secretary
Treasurer
If you are an Access member, please try to turn up as I need your signature. If you can't turn up please send me an e-mail so that we can make alternative arrangements for you.
In other news, we have formed a combined custom Starcraft 2 ladder:

guys please dont set up UNSW starcraft club.
First I have to say I love starcraft. I bought the copy on the first day and really enjoyed it.
However it will be a huge distraction for students and there is no purpose for the club.
there is no need to set up a club at uni if you just want to play with your uni buds.
simply add them on battle.net. problem solved.
If you think you want to organise the club and train the members up, I can tell you know you will get nowhere because personally I have done semi-proper training for warcraft 3 when I was at school. It took me 3 years playing very hard on weekends (20hr+) and I got nowhere.
first year
I was able to manage the base and my troops at the same time;
My APM got up to about 150;
watched 1000 replays;
(terrible micro and macro)
second year,
micro got much better;
APM got up to about 300;
still epically failed in a tournament.
(terrible macro)
final year,
spent a lot of time understanding the game;
explored the tricks for different maps;
timing;
learning how to avoid making mistakes in the game;
EVENTUALLY
gave up - EPIC FAIL
It had no positive effect in my life. The training was painful.
And I believe it will work in the same way for starcraft training. Never attempt unless you are extremely talented like the pro Koreans.
Almost no uni students will have time to do the following even on weekends:
watch replays for 12 hours
play 30-40 games a day
sit down and spend few hours to understand how a SC strategy works
Anyway I will be really appreciated if I dont see the existance of starcraft club
thx
So your terrible at wc3 yet spent three years trying to become a pro gamer by practicing a lot. Due to this you feel people should not spend time setting a society to appreciating a different game.
Just leave.

Anyone doing this for UTS? :D
And although i feel dirty asking, would a friend from the big brown tower up the road be welcome at said events? 
EDIT: Might be able to get my girlfriend to sign if you need more sigs, not sure if she has access though.. i'd wager not.

For the future it will probably work like most other society events. Something like:
Free for access members, $5 for non-access. (simply due to how funding works at USYD)
Of course outsiders are welcome as long as you have a friend in the society

I'd love to join but I didn't get ACCESS this year.

hey guys, i'll be coming to usyd in feb, im actually in sydney now for a short trip to look for housing and i found a place in Burwood? any thoughts on that place guys?
anyway i just got a few questions to ask?
1. i have a SC2 SEA/USA account, would i need to buy a new copy to play with the people in sydney? cos im assuming you guys playing on the australian servers right?
2. i looked at the internet plans and they have like peak and non-peak hours. how comprehensive a plan should i get ? 120 gig enough?
cheers !

Welcome to Australia benjaminethanlim. If you're trying to live around Burwood, I'd rather look for a place in Strathfield. Burwood isn't exactly the best place to live while Strathfield is a lot more friendly (it's Korea town). Strathfield is also a lot more convenient because it's basically in the center of all the train lines.
1. Australia is part of SEA so you're fine.
2. 120gb is enough unless you torrent movies 24 hours a day. If you're a heavy downloader you'll probably have to end up cutting down on the downloads and try restricting them to off peak. If you can get a bigger plan without too much money, go for it. Optus and Telstra are overpriced, TPG has shitty customer service but best bang for your buck. Oh, forget about Optus altogether, they have horrible latency to the SEA servers.
Personally I use TPG but their stock routers (Dlink) are fucking terrible and drops out every two minutes so you'll need to go buy your own.

brijan it sounds really cool hope it works out. im from usyd but not main campus lol, not much of sc community here. So theres also no access for me but im intersted in joining.
