AusCraft2 Down Under Derby
I received an email from Jimm Dean that invites our members to participate in an online tournament held in Australia with a $100 prize for first place.
Their site is www.auscraft2.com.au. I will also hand out their flyers on our meeting on Tuesday. The full email is below.

Spread the word, invite your friends, and lets make this an epic battle royale!
Now that the registration has closed, the UQSS has been placed into their own bracket. Unfortunately I have to play JimDiddy so there goes my chances of advancing.

Likewise for Jake Fortescue.

YAAAA I'd definitely be up for this! I'm first year too, since you're doing engineering, are you doing math1051 atm (and if so, what time is your monday lecture?)? I'm not doing engineering, just doing math1051 because i like to party heh

Help would be appreciated, Ill just wait this week to see how many people show interest. Im doing MATH1050 cause I got a C+ in Maths C (slept through half the classes, learned my lesson now :D) but I just realized that i might get credit for the maths course I did at JCU so Ill try to swap my monday MATH1050 to monday MATH1051 (what time is yours)?

I'm in lecture stream 1 (i.e. 8am on monday), but don't just change for me ha, do what's right for you. So far they've just recapped imaginary numbers, open/closed/infinte intervals and some basic function stuff (exponential and trig).

Ah k I know imaginary numbers but not intervals. You just made me remember that I got the certificate in JCU for Mathematical Foundations when I was doing Grade 12. If I do MATH1051 this semester it will shorten my degree by 6 months which sounds pretty tempting haha

Haha yeah true. Hopefully we get some numbers for this thing, I joked with my brothers about starting this society (they're 3rd and 5th year) and they wanted to beat me up because then our surname would get listed for it. Keep this thread updated :D

I'm a third year at UQ atm, will be watching this thread closely :D

Complete an ‘Expression of Interest Form’. This form needs to include:
a) The name of the proposed club or society
b) Three proposed aims of the proposed club or society
c) Include the names, signatures and student numbers of
i) 30 students in the case of a St Lucia based club
I've had some friends show interest and they will probs have some friends who might show interest, but to get 30 people, you'll really have to get the message out and ask around.

I am down for this. I actually went to market day and saw the games club, too bad they only focused on CoD and SF4 games, and a minority played SC2 on laptops..
My SEA account is Batman 540. I have about 5 SC2 buddies that go to UQ who might also be interested in this.

Talk to REQShuffle, aka Joe Maloney. He goes to UQ, and is one of the best AU players. Also, I go to UQ and play, although I haven't had much time to play recently, I just watch ridiculous amounts. jeeneeus.580

:O nice man, and just as a btw, we only need 70% of members to be enrolled at UQ, so outside mates can come in too.

I'll keep the thread updated with the names of players who have shown interest and the uni they attend so we have an idea of the progress of the society. Please ask your friends to post their interest here in this thread or similar thread in gosugamers.com or add me on Facebook (you can find me on the USYD & UNSW StarSoc facebook group as a member - my name is Pedro Alves)
Oh yeah Suc I decided to stay in MATH1050 cause today my workload tripled haha so I don't think I can catch up and work on this StarSoc at the same time.

I'll look for Joe at UQ (does he have facebook or TL.net account so its easier to find him?). You don't have to play SC2 or even have a copy of the game, as long as you are interested in watching matches and expanding the SC2 scene.

Haha yeah it sounds like math1050 is the right choice for you. To add to what you said about not even needing a copy of sc2, if we could get access to some room to watch gsl semi-finals or grand finals that could be pretty awesome (+ TSL depending on broadcast times, because that would be so sick).

I'm right here mate My TL ID is different to my Bnet ID so John probably didn't recognize it earlier in this thread. I also have some friends who'd probably like to join so i'll get into contact with them.
