XGC Casuals 26/3/10

Orim

The weekly thread to see who is going to be coming in for some games tomorrow.

For anyone that doesn't know, XGC is a gaming centre on Liffey street. It's opposite Games Workshop.

Last week we did a pot for the console. Everyone paid a fiver and one person took responsibility for all consoles and money. I thought this worked out quite well but what do others think? Should we continue with this system?

Further, there was about €30 euro extra. Now last week we ran a team tournament with the winners getting the money. Now if we continue with this system, we could do small tournaments every week to dole out this money.

Or we could save the money and every three weeks or so we could run a "free" casuals?

Alternatively we could save the money in general and use it to invest in better gear for running events. For example good recording gear for direct recording with commentry and what not. Or if we can get involved with a community centre (or similar) and then we could get some decent CRTs, store them there and use that place for meet-ups and tournaments.

All these systems have their flaws so if anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.

I'll be there, teams tourney sounds good but maybe not every single week.

Ramza

I'm in between atmo

And the last sounds good, getting some CRTs and recording gear

DarkTalant

I'll be there. As for the money, if we have a small turnout just save it and if we have a large turnout run a quick tourney.

If we want to try and get some gear though then it's pointless unless we're saving all the money we can.

If we decide to go for the "paid for" casuals then it makes sense to run them that way.

I'll pass on this one. See you lads at Vaticon!

Xinkai

I'll be there, The Free Casuals thing sounds good, could save money, & it would look attractive to newcomers.

The Hound

ye i should be there for my 1st showing. I think the money thing situation should be saved each week for recording equipment, that sounds good. The reason i say this is because you could put it on youtube as before i found out about boards i was trying to find videos of Irish players on youtube and it was scarce. I'm sure theres loads of irish players who were in the same boat as me and still are... It was luck that i found out about it.

Speed Boat

I'll be down.

Not sure about the money. Saved anyway rather than small tourneys.

FoamyMushroom

Ill be there, I like the saving money idea!!

and What time is this at? 1-2?

animaX

I'll pop in for a while. The idea of saving money is good but not to use it for a once-in-a-while free casual. If we did that the regulars would end up paying for it and the others would just show up for a free ride and never show up again!!

Saving up for equipment is a good idea though.

Sisko

A 20 euro fan from Argos could go down well btw lads (regarding money saving up)

As for paying the fiver and someone looking after it all, thats fine with me , I usually just throw a fiver to someone anyways.

Placebo

Jim

Going to check out the Vaticon venue tomorrow, so will probably be there around 4.

Orim

Seriously I'm very trustworthy, so I think everyone should just give me lots of money. The money will benefit people within the community.

For example. This would give us direct HD recordings of tournaments.

Looks like farz has attracted another grudge match! How many is that now?!

Orim

I ain't going to make it in today. My head has detached itself.

FoamyMushroom

Ill be in for 2

animaX

Good games to everyone i played today.

About the money, there was around 7 euro leftover. To be honest, I'm starting to think that its a better idea just to charge 4 euro a head? Although having enough change could be a problem. It'll take a long time to save up anything worthwhile if we're only getting 7 euro per session.

Ramza

Well imho that yolk costs like what, 200? So like if everyone is willing to contribute a tenner?
