phatslappy Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) D, if you don't like the way Solscuud is handling things, why don't you volunteer to be the organizer of the con? From my vantage point, it seems like without Solscud the con might have died years ago. It's certainly not easy to take on the task of organizing an event like this, and to do it year in and year out...well that's just pure dedication. When others have fallen by the wayside, Nick has stepped up and been the one person we could count on to keep this thing going. I think he deserves a little understanding here because I'm sure, just the Ali Sama situation has at least been stress inducing. Anyone else here want to run things? I certainly don't. When you are planning for a group, it's impossible to make everyone happy. That's just how it is. Last year, i didn't care to pay for Mari. I didn't get a CD, didn't get an autograph, but I did listen to the interview and she was at least interesting. More value than I expected to get out of it. So, I'm trying to keep an open mind as to what festivities are planned for this year. You're not always going to get everything you want for the price of your admission. So, just make the most of it. Personally, I think that if you charge 30 bucks for the poker entry, and that covers food for both days of the event, then that's good enough. Having the poker players subsidize the food for sunday's event is more than enough. The poker players may not all be macross fans, so it may not be such a good idea to burden the poker night so much. Perhaps if there is a star guest, do it like last year and add a fee. Maybe this year, we can get Reba West! If most of the people attending are willing to pay the fee to have a guest star appear, then most of the people will have fun at the con. Don't want to pay? We'll meet up with you after the con for dinner. Was a fun dinner too. Or look at it as, paying the entrance fee covers the cost of hosting the event somewhere not at your house and the person who is hosting the event is simply passing that money along to the guest. But I guess the whole money allocation is not what we're supposed to be discussing so I guess I'll stop now. Edited March 24, 2006 by phatslappy Quote

If majority doesn't mind paying for special guests, then I can still choose to go or not...I'm not going to be a whiny little itchbay about it after the decision is made, but before then I'm going to suggest to try and make this a non-speical guest event where we can all chip in for food. You guys asked for opinions, and that's what I'm giving. and like you said, if $30 buy in can cover food for both days and prizes...great, I may still want to play...anything more, I doubt I will participate.

So it seems to me like it's either Nick does it his way or we do it no way. And I'm quite sure that Nick's intention is for everyone or at least for as many fans here to have a good time at the con. I know that Nick can spew off sometimes and say things over the top, but I think you and I both know Nick well enough to know that he's always done a superb job of putting these cons together. So if you really don't think Nick should be heading this because he's got an attitude problem, then please put forth a solution. Quote
phatslappy Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 GREAT! I just looked at the list and there's no sign of Khor. Kiririth, I just have to wait for someone else to take him out, and that GBP 1J should be MINE ALL MINE! Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Solscud, we really do appreciate all your hard work. ******************************************* OK, so a couple of us decided to throw a poker tournament the day before the actual Macrossworld Con. As a way to entertain the people that come from different parts of the country and since the local people get together and play anyway. There will only be 30 spots open and I have a few people that are already asked for reservations. I\'ll post the people that expressed interest in being part of it, but you have to contact me for instructions to save your seat. When you PM me I will give you complete info. I wanted to keep the prizes a secret but it\'s already been revealed that a 1/48 GBP armor is one of them. But I can tell you this... that\'s not THE top prize. Also, the friday before the tounament, we will have a really cheap all day cash game. Just to teach people that don\'t know how to play, but decided to join the tournament. People that didn\'t get in the tournament can join if they want. Or if you just want to sit in and have fun then, by all means, come down and play. Just remember that\'s the Saturday, July 1st ************************************** Now, let\'s try not to derail from the thread. Quote

EXO Posted April 24, 2006 Author Posted April 24, 2006 7 seats left and I know I have people not on the boards that are Macross/RT fans that want to play. We may have all the people we need, but if there's anyone that wants to join, MW people get priority. And if there's enough people, I'll start a new table. I'm gonna start sending out instructions on how to send it the buy ins and lock your seats! Quote
EXO Posted May 1, 2006 Author Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) I just PMed everyone on that list. Please let me know if you didn't receive it or if you want to be added on that list. The Tournament will now be held in Long Beach, CA, not Irvine. Edited May 2, 2006 by >EXO< Quote

BoBe-Patt Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 cool, I convinced my friend to move her bday thing a week before, so that you guys can go too! (you guys meaning the ones she knows) hehe. Quote
phatslappy Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 it doesn't work that way foo 401663[/snapback] So how does it work? You go on the trip. You win money in poker. But you don't pay up at all? It's supposed to be a free trip? Quote
