I love this free wireless! Whoever set it up, someone give that man or a woman a drink!

I'll start this now, cause when I come home, I will drop my stuff and SLEEP. Anyways....

FanimeCon 2006 has come and go and it has been a kick-ass time! In a new location with arcades right next to us, I am impressed with the success of the room. Despite a few snafus, we still kicked ass.

I would like to thank the entire staff of E-Gaming 2006 for helping, assisting and pulling through. Without them, we wouldnt exist =)

To any staff that does want to return next year, I highly recommend you stay in contact me for now until we can begin the planning. To those inquiring about joining us, we will announce it.

We're taking suggestions and feedback on next year. There isn't any definates yes, but we are watching. We are aware of some of the issues and it is just some were just uncontrollable at con. We do strive to improve the best we can.

/feedback!!!!!

edit: changed the title to make more sense.

this is done. 2006 comes and goes. locking thread and starting a new one.

i'll stick this one up if ya want, so its not lost in the threads here

(Watch the edits come fast. )

I first off would like to apologize to everyone for the lateness of this. Unlike last year, not everything is happening as I thought it would.

This is the finalized schedule. I know its a few days before, but comments are welcomed. We do reserve the right to change the schedule around if there is a pressing need to @ 'Con. Also, if you need information, please do ask our staff at the con and they will be more than glad to answer the questions.

Sign ups are at the 'Con and they are first come, first serve. If you do sign up and do not show within 5-10 minutes of the tournament starting we will replace you with anyone in the crowd at random.

FAQ

Q: Are custom controllers like joysticks are going to be allowed this year?
A: Yes, but as like last year, they are going to be inspected for any possible cheating or non-stock modifications. We do reserve the right to say no, for any reason.

Q: Whats the format for the fighting games?
A: I know, for Soul Calibur 3, it is going to be a single elimination format. From last year's experiences, we felt this took way too much time for the intended purpose. We will update this thread and at con if there has been a change.

*More info is coming the next day.*

Unofficial and unauthorized thread. LOCKED.

2) Tournament list: its coming. Whats the delay? We've been requested by upper management not to conduct any tournaments that arcades will have on site. This had a huge impact on our tournament planning and we are working to the best of our abilities to get this finalized ASAP. To note what games were affected, by what I know already, is Soul Calibur 3 and Tekken 5. I'm rechecking the arcade lists against our tournament list.

Hey guys, I'm the arcade operator.  You guys are free to run tournaments on ANY game you want.  We just ask that you not have games that are in the arcade available for freeplay during non-tournament times.  And of course no tournaments on our arcade games.

Got your email and we are in comunication. This is indeed good news. This changes almost everything. (Key word: almost)

Yes...but I want to play, not lead it =P

Question: at FanimeCon or a future FanimeCon based event? I do have a few good ideas...

We need a good LAN party out here. There hasnt been a good one in ages in the area at all.

Gomen ne, i've been really busy on my end. I owe everyone a form of updating.

I'll keep it simple:

1) We are completely full on staff. That list got locked down 48 hours ago. I cannot take on anymore people.

2) Tournament list: its coming. Whats the delay? We've been requested by upper management not to conduct any tournaments that arcades will have on site. This had a huge impact on our tournament planning and we are working to the best of our abilities to get this finalized ASAP. To note what games were affected, by what I know already, is Soul Calibur 3 and Tekken 5. I'm rechecking the arcade lists against our tournament list.

3) Not alot of details about E-Gaming are out and i'm a bit later than usual. E-Gaming info thread incoming next week. There are some details I cannot say yet, because it is not finalized.

4) Equipment Loaning and Waiver form: If you have submitted to me a possiblity of loaning equipment (game copies that are legit, hardware, etc), please contact me ASAP so I know who you are! There have been some changes to our needs. Also, with the exception of a few that talked to me eariler in the year, we are no longer accepting personal computer loans. Any non-staffer that is loaning equipment to us needs to be cleared by me (Felicito Signo) and then the waiver form signed at the day of our set up on Thursday.

E-Gaming staff - i'll state in a future internal meeting and/or email about how it works for staffers. There is a system in place, but every staffer that is loaning equipment is required to sign it before we deploy it.

Thats all I got right now. I'm alive yes, but busy. Again, the E-Gaming info thread is being posted next week. That will conclude tournament information if it is finalized.

Need to contact us? [email protected] is up and running. I do keep an eye on this on a regular basis.

The new arcades list is up. I'm unpinning this topic, unless Criage disagrees...

Bump from the dead ^^;

"Its coming..."

Heh, Arcades and E-Gaming in one room. A first definately.

http://www.bawls.com/locator/store.php

enjoy =)

Some 7-11's are carrying this as well. If you want, I'll bring a few bottles to the next meeting lol...

Heh...Maybe I should get into DDR...could use some excerise...

Say Spiritsnare, since this is a tournament or something, do you want a sticky?

[Note]

E-gaming email is up...

Note: The following above will require additional consoles and copies of the said games. Please send any loan/donations proposals to [email protected] OR via Forum PM. Anything loaned to us is subject to approval first by me (Chito aka Umi) or my second Brad, and also upon given to us at the con, you will be required to sign a loan/donation waiver.

I've also adjusted the list accordingly with some updates.

So let me get this right:

You guys want a place in the con that sells energy drinks during the con, even when the dealers room is closed and its 2am and you need your "fix" (a la energy drink)?

I like the idea, but will the reps be willing to stay up that late, or will a staffer (with immsomic issues =P ) be doing this?

Fixed the Guility Gear game....I knew the name wasnt right, but wasnt totally sure about it.

Tekken 5 is in our lists, but for some reason I just dont see the interests as much like last year. I must of been asking the wrong people...

Not a bad idea actually...and yes its true we are trying to get a hold of Bawls and securing a deal that will work with FanimeCon + E-gaming, and Bawls. I'm preparing the proposal to submit to my boss + other high ranking people for discussion.

No, give Eri more ideas!

[Console Tourny's]

I've decided its time to release some level of info about the upcoming tournaments we will have having. Remember, none of this is official until we say it is. We are doing this thread to see what's "hot" out there and prepare prizes accordingly. Also, this thread is also here to discuss possible tournament styles/rules, so we can keep everything within one thread if possible.

The following list is what have either considered or require a interest check:

Console Tourny's

Soul Calibur 3 (US PS2)
Naruto GNT 4 (US or Import GC)
Halo 2 (US XBOX1)?
Super Smash Brothers Melee (US GC)
Guility Gear X2 #Reload (XBOX, with the possiblity of XBOX -> PS2 converters)

PC Section Tourny's

None at this time, because of site license requirements. However, we do have a "list"

Warcraft III with Frozen Throne
-A possible DoTA map tournament as well, if we think this is possible.

Handheld PSP/DS Tourny's

Need some suggestions =)

Need a interest gauge check

Tekken 5 (US PS2, just checking to make sure)
Guitar Hero (PS2, need more info)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (XBOX360 most likely)

If we are missing something from the list, let us know!

LOL...it was funny last year when I noticed my staff having glowsticks and i'm like "wtf, where did you get them /omg". Keep bringing them and if you can offer different colors, cool.

suggestion: far fetched, but why not get a dealer that sells this produce and other dance-related stuff (minus the illegal stuff they tend to sell at raves, ie drug promoting products, etc) and sells it particularlly durin the dances?

I want photon lights o.o;
