Did the digging for SacCon:
MBAC (PC) Tournament set for Sunday noon

However, I really don't trust the official-ness of any tournament at SacCon ever since last year.

I'm thinkin' about hitting it up; however getting a ride is always a concern.

I might go as I have nothing better to do that Sunday, though 2 hours is pretty weak. I've never been to a tourney that's begun and ended that fast.

They're volunteer staff members that don't get paid or respected. Also, they're required to stay at the hotel near SacAnime and con holder will not pay for them staying there. So, pretty much they have to spend their own money staying at a hotel with a bunch of dudes and they don't even get paid for it. We keep telling them to not volunteer anymore but they never listen to us. @_@

Wait... DJCream, that's for SacCon. Wrong one! It's SacAnime we're concerned about! Stop giving us wrong info!

Spirit Juice · « **Reply #260 on:** January 06, 2008, 11:59:00 PM »

Isn't SacAnime this Saturday?

EDIT: It is. Some guys should totally steal me a pass because there's no way in hell I'm paying $20 for a weekend pass for a shitty as fuck anime con.

$20...

...Guess I'm not going after all. Anyways, I once tried something like that at Otakon, it's not fun when they find out. *adds to future story list*

As a volunteer staff member for Sac Anime I feel that it's safe to say that 20 bucks for the weekend here is definately not worth it unless you're a hardcore anime otaku that likes small-scale events. I've been very tempted to listen to Spirit Juice and quit being staff. Even Idolo quit for this Sac Anime because of the required hotel stay. I only started doing this so that I can get more people into Melty Blood in Sacramento and meet new people to play against. But after all of this stuff that's gone down with them asking us for money, it doesn't really feel worth it anymore to sacrafice THREE DAYS just to give up money.

Anyway, I may drop out as well if they're still trying to get me to stay in a hotel even though I live 7 miles away from the site. So if that's the case, there will be no Melty Blood at this Sac Anime. I'd only ask the people here to come up if we held a good tournament at a place like Sac State where the only money that you'd have to spend on the trip would be on gas, food, and money for the tourney pot.

Are they still going to be jews and take away like 3/4 of my CvS2 pot when I win?

They'll take away about 1/3 of the overall pot to fund the game room's "necessities". You'll only make a good amount if there's alot of entrants. Given how poor the Con's advertising is though, very few people will know about these tournaments and show up. And even if they did, the price to get in the Con in the first place would probably scare them away...

Spirit Juice · « **Reply #265 on:** January 07, 2008, 12:32:44 PM »

So apparently one of my friends from Reno and a few of his friends are going to Sac Anime this weekend. I'm going to try to convince him to save his money.

The only good thing that could possibly come out of his 2.5 hour trip is seeing me (haven't seen him since Evo).

Blaze · « **Reply #266 on:** January 07, 2008, 01:05:22 PM »

The best thing that the Con has going for them are the guests that they manage to get sometimes. This weekend Vic Mignogna (english voice actor of Edward Elric of Full Metal Alchemist) and Travis Willingham (voice of Roy Mustang of FMA) are supposed to make appearances for panels. But other than that everything doesn't compare to other cons like Fanime since they're trying to build up.

I'll admit that seeing Crispin Freeman (voice of Alucard of Hellsing) and Spike Spencer (voice of Shinji of Evangelion) last Sac Anime was fucking awesome. The way Idolo managed to actually piss off Spike while he was in the middle of a guest panel was priceless! lol

mizuki · « **Reply #267 on:** January 07, 2008, 01:17:46 PM »

And here I thought it woulda been free money for me for CvS2...

I'll let him tell you next time we session. It'll be more fun that way. lol

Update: For anyone that even cares anymore about Sac Anime, I'm not going so there won't be a Melty Blood trouney. The only way that it'll happen is if Idolo suddenly decides to pick it up (which I heavily doubt).
