if smashfest held in that room at sfu burnaby then we need 1 more TV. good thing about that place is there will be no security minding our business.

can someone bring a small tv? 2 tvs for a smashfest imo is good enough, the place is free and a dining hall is right across from it. and also roby can get there with just 1 bus

BTW i called up magic stronghold n talked to jack to clarify the **** for me

he said its 5$ per person drop in venue fee that covers the whole day

or a 10$ membership per person that covers the daily venue fee and the tournament venue fee for a month

****, really? so, what we were doing before by just dropping in and playing wasn't legit? i wasn't aware of this. what's the deal with press start though? can we just do our smashfests there?

yeah it's kinda far from where i go to school though, which is where i'll be coming from. it kinda sucks that it isn't super close to any skytrain stations, it's like a 10-15 min. walk isn't it?

i dont think anything is happening this thursdays, or ever. imo 2 tvs not enough and john wont be bothered to come to such a sheit fest. and if john doesnt go i dont feel like going anymore

either someone get another 2 tvs, big or small to that dorm lounge, or forget weekly/biweekly smash.
too bad i threw out all of my extra tvs cause i thought we wont be doing smash anymore.

BC started gettin melee hype again because we FINALLY had a good solid venue in stronghold. but now that stronghold lawled in our face, im afraid to say that the upward direction we were heading in will start to decline back to where we used to be.

the only thing left to save us would be press start...

I'm not gonna go smash at a place where theres a chance we will get kicked out. It's just dumb.
$5 isn't much for a month especially since were using their building and electricity. It wouldn't make sense if we went there for free. People just need to stop being cheap.

we've done the whole smash at sfu thing before. if the room isnt rented out and we arent students theres always a chance to get kicked out, and this has happened to us many times. im not sure smashfests at sfu is such a good idea.

paying 10 bucks a month for friendlies, like john said, isnt that much. you could play 20+ days in a month if u wanted for 10 bucks which is a pretty good deal. includes cover fee for the tournament (if there was one that month)... HOWEVER, its only worth it if everyone was going to pay and use the venue more often than not. our community as a whole doesnt generally like to spend money lol. which means there might be 3-4 people who pay the 10 bucks and come every now and then, in which case paying a venue fee would be useless if you play the same handful of guys every time. might as well host a house smashfest.

eh those guys are **** for making us pay $5 to play there. we could just host tournaments there once a month and they would get like $100+ in venue fee. and let us play whenever we want.

greedy *** people

lmao @ spending money to play friendlies, to bad nobody in the community has a home that can support a dozen people for 1 day.

pretty much with john here.

would not mind paying, even if stronghold does happen to be making a "mint".

but i wouldn't pay if no one goes lol

i mean, if people could hold larger scale smashfests, this wouldn't really happen. at this point, we really have no other choice

I'm not surprised they started charging, probably all my fault for being so loud and disrupting the magic ppl.

We could probably use my ****ty white TV if anyone can stand it. Where is this room at sfu?

i'd go with stronghold

traveling 1 hour+ with the chance of getting kicked out doesn't go well with me

plus stronghold has accessible tvs

unless adam goes there, there wont be a problem. still it doesnt change the fact that there is only 1 TV in that room.
Eric said he would bring 2, but it has happened before where he didn't bring any or brought less, or did not come at all, so I wouldnt count on it.

roby told me we could use his TVs and he has 2, one needs RF the other one doesnt.
anyone with a RF switch?

I like how no one really corrected me on the $10 thing when I accidentally said $5 lol. Im also sure they aren't charging because people are loud but its because theres always a chance something will break like a certain table and the big mess people usually leave behind. I remember Jack 2.0 asking people to clean up after their pho but they just left it and he had to clean it up. They've always been charging even for Marvel on Wednesday.

I'll stick to stronghold. For me its that or nothing. I think Sion/Genesis would agree too.

"paying 10 bucks a month for friendlies, like john said, isnt that much"

it was a subtle way to correct you... but ya how much is marvel on wednesdays? if i pay 10 bux for smash for the month, if they'll let me come on wednesdays for marvel lol

I believe its also $2 for the day. The best way is to call them and ask if the monthly membership is from everything. I wouldn't see why it wouldn't though. Also if you guys are doing biweekly its only $2 so $4 a month rofl.

I would like to go to play smash on thurs at stronghold so please let me know if your interested.
Choco said he would go if I go.
