I didn't go to the DD tourney because it clashed with Masquerade, which was somewhat enjoyable. And as for pop'n?
I'm sure AmazingKenchan can talk more about this than I can, but from what I can recall, the Animelo-type machine lacked the kind of power plug that the Fever! set required. It's perhaps worth noting here that
the machine was originally an Animelo 2 machine, that Kenchan attempted to set Fever! up with -
over the course of three days, in which OnCampus Entertainment, the people behind the scenes at the arcade,
failed to cooperate.
On Sunday, while playing Animelo with my friend Rokujou, we both snapped and obtained my pop'n CS setup from her house. Everyone who has played on the set while I was there has thanked me greatly for bringing the set. Asuka245, who is the head of e-gaming (correct?) told me personally after witnessing a few rounds that he will tell Arcades
not to bring Pop'n next year if they're going to half-ass it.
In a twist of perhaps ungodly irony...
Fever! AC did get set up ten minutes prior to the end of the convention. I didn't believe the news myself (he sent me a text message with the news) until he publically announced it.
