alright, later tonight i'll post more. sorry i've been busy but i'll try to hurry up for jimbo

wheatrich · « **Reply #51 on:** November 19, 2009, 02:17:00 am »

I'm 100% in if you'll have me. Obv I've got a flexible schedule so whatever whenever

Also, for those of you mulling this over--flights look to be VERY cheap around that time frame at least right now so I hope when this is decided they still are!

Matis · « **Reply #52 on:** November 19, 2009, 04:07:00 am »

All right here is a quick update...

People that would go for sure are as follow-

Greg Woll
Eddie Lovins
Jimbo
Stinson
Wheat
Sterling

Possible people that would go- (just from what i've read)

Trent (depending on the date)
Clark
Dayle (clarks friend)
QB
Clemens
PY
Lockwood
Mark

Alright now for dates. As stinson said the 7-10, 14-17 or 21-24. I know that Jan will be busy for me but those dates seem fine. I would get rid of the 21-24 because end of the month is a lot more hectic so I'd say its between 7-10 and 14-17. Personally i'd choose the earliest one 7-10 because i'll be least busy. But its up to you guys and what works best with everyone. So please decide.

Showing up Thurs should be okay. I dont know my schedule yet but im sure we could find a way to get you here from the airport. Its only about 20 mins away from my place. Showing up friday will be fine too. If im busy i'll let whoever borrow my car or if people drive they can pick people up. Just letting everyone know i'll be busy but people will be here so it'll be a good time.

If you you change your mind and decide to come let me know. but everyone please decide dates so we can get this rolling farther.

Worlds-One · « **Reply #53 on:** November 19, 2009, 05:29:00 am »

If 7-10 are the dates I can come on the 7th and pick up people if the airport is close...As far as getting a ride back I'll be leaving on the 9th. I'd be leaving on the 9th later on in the day around 6-7. I can bring the camcorder, tv and n64 with derek's controller. So I'm on the in list. Don't put me on the tentative list, I started the phucking thread Adam =

anyways I got another 2 hours here at work this morning and this shift sucks!! No lap top either ughhh. Wheat looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the gang that goes. Ciao

RWG · « **Reply #54 on:** November 19, 2009, 05:32:00 am »

I'd go but my Florida Schedule is looking really busy for the next few months.

Time was untied when set. · « **Reply #55 on:** November 19, 2009, 05:40:00 am »

I might be able to make it if its the 7-10...

Matis · « **Reply #56 on:** November 19, 2009, 04:30:00 pm »

Alright I was thinking.... a lot of people seem like the 7-10 and that would work best for me as well. It'll be at the least busiest for me. So im going to go ahead and confirm the dates of

January 7th-10th (Thursday-Sunday) if you cant come Thursday, Friday will be fine.

Please go ahead and keep me updated with who is coming and when you will be planning so I could stock up on some stuff and know how much stuff i need for people sleeping.

Nice, I will look into how much flights are and stuff, I think this could be great, and the money thing shouldnt be a big problem since I already will have enough saved up by next week for school, I guess the only issue might be taking work off for Thurs and Fri but if I ask well in advance and make sure I wont get into any trouble it should work out fine.

Jimbo · « **Reply #59 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:31:00 am »

Awesome, I don't mind this date at all (won't even interfere with the NFL playoffs!) What is the airport code for the one you live closest too? I'll get this booked ASAP!

Matis · « **Reply #60 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:52:00 am »

the airport is Orlando Fl (MCO)

its okay clemens if you come friday i know some people may do that. its not a problem but whatever you can do will be great

I know Eddie said he found a round trip thru-sun for about 190ish

NathanStinson · « **Reply #61 on:** November 20, 2009, 12:50:00 pm »

possibly worst time for me to go. darn

Matis · « **Reply #62 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:32:00 pm »

its possibly the worst time for me to host :P

and Stinson you're the one who originally came up with that time. So darn youself

Lovins · « **Reply #63 on:** November 20, 2009, 01:49:00 pm »

JUST BOOKED TICKETS

Arriving Thursday 1/7 at 6 PM, departing Sunday 1/10 at 6:40 PM. Only $200. This is gonna be awesome.

Jimbo · « **Reply #64 on:** November 20, 2009, 04:38:00 pm »

BOOM! Booked tickets too! The best part?...... It's exactly the same at Eddie's!

Depart Green Bay at 10:30 AM, get to Detroit at 1 PM, depart on Eddie's flight down to Orlando.
Depart Orlando at 6:40 PM or whatever Eddie's flight is, get back to Green Bay at like 11 PM or so.

Mine was $288 plus baggage, damnit Eddie

Lovins · « **Reply #65 on:** November 20, 2009, 05:41:00 pm »

we could go with
obvious--there's an extra flight so obv it'd cost more

or
we could go with
that's because they charge an extra seat for fat people

damn, the cheap flights were all at 9 in the fucking am. Yeah we're not doing that so...

tickets purchased
Arrive 6:40 PM Jan 7th
Depart 7:25 PM Jan 10th

for $266. was hoping for the sub 200 flight but obv 9 am depart both ways is completely ridiculous.

Matis · « **Reply #68 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:44:00 pm »

awesome! glad to see you guys getting your stuff early

i was going to say Jimbo is the baggage.

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #69 on:** November 20, 2009, 06:56:00 pm »

Matis · « **Reply #70 on:** November 20, 2009, 07:18:00 pm »

Im sure he wont mind!

Lovins · « **Reply #71 on:** November 20, 2009, 08:32:00 pm »

Haha that's awesome Trent, that's the same flight as me and Jimbo, and yeah you can park at the house, come over early and we'll GE it up too.

Jimbo · « **Reply #72 on:** November 20, 2009, 08:38:00 pm »

Eddie, I switch time zones on my flight, so it's more like a 90 minute flight. I'm more stoked at the thought of 3 eliters taking the same flight to and from Detroit than I should be, haha.

DavidK5 · « **Reply #73 on:** November 20, 2009, 08:54:00 pm »

Heh. I'll actually be back in Florida during that time, but I'll be in Ft. Myers with no means of getting to Orlando. Sounds like it's going to be a serious meet, though.

Lovins · « **Reply #74 on:** November 20, 2009, 10:46:00 pm »

Ha yeah Jimbo that is pretty cool. It'll be the 2nd time I've experienced that already (me, Woll, and Lockwood had the same flight back to Charlotte from VA this year).

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #75 on:** November 21, 2009, 01:14:00 pm »

yeah round trip was only $199, compared to $300 from cleveland, itll be a nice 2 and a half hour drive, and wont have to pay to keep my car at the airport

Lovins · « **Reply #76 on:** November 21, 2009, 08:55:00 pm »

Yeah it's like $20 a day to park at the airport, pretty ridiculous. We'll probably get a ride from my brother.

TheFlash · « **Reply #77 on:** November 23, 2009, 09:36:00 pm »

Jim's very excited to go. He's even been working on some new "moves" to show you guys:

That's ridiculous?

Parking for an event under the Air Canada Centre costs $30 for an event. That's parking for one concert, sports game or whatever else is going on there.

But hey, that's not so bad. Parking in most of downtown Toronto is $8 for half an hour.

GoldenGreg007 · « **Reply #79 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:38:00 pm »

Yeah but you don't park your car for 3-4 days to go to a concert, Ryan.

Lovins · « **Reply #80 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:43:00 pm »

^obviously

RWG · « **Reply #81 on:** November 23, 2009, 10:46:00 pm »

I would if it were only $20/day!

Matis · « **Reply #82 on:** November 24, 2009, 02:25:00 pm »

Unless you go to a concert, get drunk and take numerous amount of drugs. Wake up somewhere with the feeling you've been violated. Not to mention waking up in a unknown area with chains and slightly dampened wood. Walking outside to notice its extremely bright outside with run down houses. You only have one shoe and your wallet is missing.

DavidK5 · « **Reply #83 on:** November 24, 2009, 09:13:00 pm »

That's $30 CAD, so it's like $5 USD, leaving plenty of money left over to buy a Maple Dog from Burkie's Dog House.

Imperfect Clark · « **Reply #84 on:** November 25, 2009, 01:55:00 pm »

I will be attending

With the Wonn hookers etc

Matis · « **Reply #85 on:** November 25, 2009, 10:46:00 pm »

hell yeah, i'll be looking forward to all of them.

Matis · « **Reply #86 on:** December 03, 2009, 08:23:00 pm »

Alright guys the Florida meet is coming up soon and I wanted to give you a update. I'm going to be revamping the Goldeneye tournament. We will still do the normal 2/3 double elimination matches. Whats going to happen will add more depth, strategy and intense play. The three new additions to this years tournament will be...

1. Stage Striking
2. Banning
3. Best 3/5 finals

This will start before a match. Usually people just agree on a stage and go there, really no thought involved just a pick and go. This is where stage striking comes into play. I'm going to limit the first match to the 5 most popular stages...

Complex
Facility
Temple
Bunker
Archives

It starts off by striking one stage to not play on. This is turn based so the next person will strike till there is only one stage left. That will be the level to start on. You may think we are still picking but this is where strategy comes in striking a potential stage a player may be good at and vice versa. So instead of agreeing on a stage this will come into play, this will show you can't be good at just an initial stage, you'll have to be ready for either one. If the two players cannot decide to pick first. A 2/3 rock, paper, scissor match will be played to decide what to happen.

After the first match is over, all stages will come into effect and Banning will be initiated. The winner of the match gets to ban one stage for the remaining of the match. The loser picks the stage, except the one the winner bans. If the loser wins the next match and goes to the third match, he gets to call a ban. There will be two banned stages now. The loser picks any avaliable stage and the last match is played out. This will be followed through the entire tournament.

Lastly matches going for 1st and 2nd place along with 3rd and 4th place matches will be best 3/5. These spots deserve more than just normal matches since you have to be the best to get there. If you come from losers bracket to face the 1st place guy you must win 2, 3/5 matches.

It should be a fun new experience and really help out GE multi, taking it to a whole new level. normal rules still apply

first to 10pts
no radar
pistols ltk
auto aim off, site on
no spawn killing (if you reach the spot where they spawn, must let them run for a second) dont be cheap, prove you're the best.
spawn pushing
0 tolerance for jimbo bitching (automatic DQ)

Other than that if you hope you guys enjoy

and start thinking strategy!

TreAKAHotdog · « **Reply #87 on:** December 03, 2009, 10:29:00 pm »

i'll be warming up over the next month by playing some smash

hopefully i'll be a little bit better this time around (i now know how to shield grab lololololololol)

Jimbo · « **Reply #88 on:** December 04, 2009, 01:34:00 am »

Dude, this is what Virginia is for, international tournaments. Eddie and I (etc) are coming down in the dead of winter, we should focus on more outdoors stuff

(...... more Kart too!)

wheatrich · « **Reply #89 on:** December 04, 2009, 02:39:00 am »

glancing at sports...

CFB's National Championship is on the 7th and the wildcard games for the NFL are on that weekend. I have a hunch Jimbo won't want to miss any Packers wild card game. Get right in to Florida in winter and the first thing I'll want to do is watch TV.

Magic vs Hawks on the 9th seems to almost be sold out and it's the only Magic home game in our timeframe of being there but I won't mind either way. Doesn't seem like there's anything I absolutely have to do there so whatever you guys want to do is fine by me.

Jimbo · « **Reply #90 on:** December 04, 2009, 03:05:00 am »

Yeah I was worried about missing all of wild card weekend but what can you do, I'd gladly go to a sports bar with you if necessary :P

Matis · « **Reply #91 on:** December 04, 2009, 03:38:00 am »

Yeah Trent keep on practicing, we'll brawl it up.

well of course you guys can do what you want. its not like the were going to play in the afternoon. it'll happen later so you can do your outdoor stuff. If i have class or anything i'll just leave my car here in case jimbo gets hungry he can buy food.

All i ask is for whoever comes just gives me like 5 bucks. cause the electricity bill will be high.

Jimbo · « **Reply #92 on:** December 04, 2009, 04:23:00 am »

I was actually gonna slip you $10 or so as courtesy, and I still will because my food bill will be higher haha :P

Lovins · « **Reply #93 on:** December 04, 2009, 10:46:00 am »

You just don't want to play GE cuz you're not dominant anymore!

Matis · « **Reply #94 on:** December 04, 2009, 12:23:00 pm »

yeah im not buying a shit ton of food. i'll buy some chips and whatever, we can all pitch in for a bigger amount.

Darth Vader · « **Reply #95 on:** December 04, 2009, 01:30:00 pm »

Be sure to have enough food this time or Jimbo will just have to eat all the N64's and the controllers for desert!

Worlds-One · « **Reply #96 on:** December 05, 2009, 09:42:00 am »

We should grill out one day ( hopefully the day I'm there )....I'll do whatever for the few days I'm there with everyone. I'll be able to pick up anyone on the 7th. Just lmk in advance guys so I have an idea. Looking forward to it

Matis · « **Reply #97 on:** December 13, 2009, 05:24:00 pm »

Alright guys since the new year is approaching fast I just want to double check on who all is coming... I know for sure its

Woll
Lovins
Trent
Jimbo
Sterling
Wheat
Clark
Dylan

Is there anyone i missed or anything thinking about coming still? There is still time to plan and what not. I just want to make sure so I can get stuff. I'll make a list of things for people to bring later that would help.

Jimbo · « **Reply #98 on:** December 13, 2009, 10:20:00 pm »

Can't forget about QB!

Time was untied when set. · « **Reply #99 on:** December 13, 2009, 11:19:00 pm »

Doubt I will be able to make it now. Got laid off so yeah, probably wouldnt be a good idea to spend a few hundred bucks to go to Florida. Too bad, sounded like a lot of fun.
