Suggestion for the society...

Have you ever throught about throwing game tournaments or anime quiz nights? It could bring more attention to the society. Or is that a horrible idea? xD

What if it was open to evryone...? It could bring more attention to the society...I dunno just an idea :S lol

Hmm, interesting idea.
We could host, but not declare it an offical thing.
Sounds doable.
What kind of attendance do you have in mind? bearing in mind the restrictions of no food and hopefully, noise control.

If this follows though would there possibly be a tekken 6 tourney too if many people play that?
But rooting for brawl tourney to start things off lol.

We'll have to vote.
Brawl will probably be first though, we might run them both on the same day.

Well we could advertise it round the uni but that could be quite pricy. And attendence would be according on the game wouldnt? Say brawl for example that can have up to 32 players or something like that. So we would have to mention that on advertising posters etc...But of course the society will know first so they can join up before anyone else does. Tbh this is really a topic that should be talked to person to person lol :S xD

Zero Angel makes a good point...I wouldnt want baka to be swarmed with chavs to :/ Yeah it should be members only...

Okay, I like the idea, and not to contradict Zero, I think this could be good publicity, if executed properly.
I have met a few people who do not realise the difference between the Anime society and BAKA with regards to the games side of things. I think this should be an open even, in the way that we allow non-members, but it should be generally invite only. All members are free to invite people they think would be interested (and anyone who might have doubts) but will not be widely advertised. Since most members don't know chavs, I think it's a safe bet they won't appear, I will mull it over, and bring it to vote at the meeting.
Limiting attendance is a bad idea, but limiting participation is a good one, and make sure multiple runs are achieved for those who do not want to play for three hours straight get a break and late arrivals get a chance to play. (Three hours or however long we do this for)

We will set the room up like normal, with projected wii, and TV dreamcast/PS2 swapping formats between tourney runs.

I will inquire about weekend event room booking at the GM building.
Pretty much everyone should be able to attend a weekend session, and it will ensure separation from this and a usual weekday meeting.

Thoughts?
Suggestions?
Just because I'm in charge doesn't mean you can't point out mistakes or tell me I suck.
Although if you're a member of staff, your internal mutiny disruptor will be activated.

Don't forget we are also allowed a cirtain number of associate memberships, so if people want to join who aren't mmu students should come to me and I'll see what I can do.
