I'd like to thank everyone that came to my house this last weekend. You all made this event a huge success, beyond my expectations.
A total of 11 people showed up, 4 or 5 of which are pretty much considered out of state: (I hope I remembered everyone's names)
TexasTim (Denton)
Denthorn (Denton)
Worst/best Kouma in Texas...
Pfhor (Denton)
Oldboy (Denton)
Cookie (Carrollton)
QPunch (Bedford) Hope you had fun man. Come out when you can.
FoxStepCEO (Ft Worth) Been waiting for you to turn up since SuperBitWars.
See you when you can make it to our regular meet-ups.
KosMos(?) (Oklahoma ?)
Too gdlk for showing up.
Hope to see you next month.
CPhame (Houston) Thanks for coming. Hope you can play more MB in Houston. Nice to meet you. Although I may have met you before...
Skwuck (Austin) Loved playing your Sion. Thanks for coming. I also think I played you before, but I could be wrong.
Nick (San Antonio) I don't remember your handle. A Texas Hisui player? wut?
Thanks for coming up. Good to meet you. I want to play against more Hisui.
KosMos, FoxStepCEO, CPhame, Skwuck, Nick: Thanks so much for making the trip out to play Melty. Excellent play from you all. In no small part you all brought the hype, and contributed much to make this event such a success. You all are more than welcome to come play again.
A special thanks to Chris for showing up, quite unexpectedly. When I heard that Matt was coming, maybe with a friend from OK, I was kinda hoping you might come so I could get some run backs from SuperBitWars. It's so much fun playing Melty with you.
I hope that coming to play us in North Texas was worth the drive. It was certainly worth it for us.
I don't know if it is just the unique experience of hosting an event like this or not, but my level of enjoyment from this event is equal to or greater than any of the other events I've gone to in the past. To me, it was well worth the expenses in time and money. I would not mind at all hosting more in the future, as often as you guys can and want to make the trip.
To the DFW guys: Thanks for coming out and rep-ing DFW. I hope you all enjoyed it as thoroughly as I did. I'll see you next weekend.
To those that could not make it out: It's too bad, you all missed one hell of a good time along with free snacks, beer, soda, Gundam Getto Assault 2 aka secret main game, and Melty. Hope to see you guys at the next one when and if it happens.
I'm going to edit, encode and upload all the footage I recorded from the weekend. I've been kinda using it as a tool to watch the things that I do wrong and try and catch things to work on. So I won't leave any out. It's not as structured as I'd like it to be, but I was way too busy to be monitoring the recording set-up for that kind of thing.
If anyone has suggestions for how it could have gone better, let me know and I'll try to implement some of them at the next one. Especially if it would have saved you money, please tell me.
I'm kinda interested if you all thought there was enough room to play/sleep. I think so, but then again, I've been to events where the entire floor space was covered with furniture or people. Also, if you guys think I should make a topic in the events thread the next time around, or if using this thread is sufficient, were there enough snacks, set-ups, ect. Stuff like that.
Lost and Found:
Black PS2 to PS2 Controller Extension Cable 1ea Found under the entertainment center with the big TV.
Blue PS2 8Mb Memory Card 1ea Found in the PS2 set-up on the big TV.
Key w/ Red/White Hello Kitty Cover (Mushroom Hat) 1ea Found in my room on the floor; the room Skwuck slept in.
PM me with claims. I can mail them to the address of your choice.
Time for some well deserved sleep...
