This does not include prize money for the tourneys, so ONLY REGISTRATION FEES count towards V3 money. I think that the $5 registration fee isn't asking a lot from anyone, even if a person does not plan on taking part in a tournament. Odds are, if you're going to make it all the way to FFC, $5 isn't going to make a whole lot of a difference to you. To us, however, that money means a lot towards upgrading to a great new mix of Drummania.

In part, I'd like to ask anyone who is going to come to try to pay the registration fee regardless of whether or not you will participate in the tournaments. It's going for a good cause for the Bemani community here. Anyone who knows for sure that they can do the registration fee should contact myself or Brazoliange so that we can confirm it with the owners that the money WILL be coming in, so that perhaps we can order the kit earlier than later.

Another way you can help is to look at the several Bemani items we have up for sale from the FFC. We cleaned out the upstairs storage and found a lot of old Bemani arcade stuffs, such as marquees, game discs, hard drives, cartridges, and weirder things such as a BeForU audition poster from DDRMAX and e-Amuse card readers from a IIDX machine. Any money made from the sales of these things goes directly into the V3 fund, so if you've had a notion to buy things like that before, here's your chance to score the swag AND help the Bemani community.

Things for sale are listed in the Marketplace, so please check it out.

I should ask Keith if he can post this on the front page, and information about the meet-up, so we can get more atendees. Unless someone else wants to do it, I would just use qoutes from the forum, but hey, it will help FFC!

I'd be interested in a GF home version tournament.

Since I can't attend BMF again this year, I'm seriously looking into getting in on this. For the time being, count me in for IIDX and Pop'n tourneys, as well as IIDX CS and Drummania if they end up happening.

EDIT: How about a 14 Key IIDX tourney :3

[dickrazor]

Dude you better fucking come down. Gotta represent the Dakota's.

Or something.

EDIT: that has to be some kind of record for replying to a post haha.

[cstarflare]

Heh

Right now my going depends on whether or not K0LD can come (sounds likely), and whether or not I can manage to find K0LD so we can traverse the great midwest together.

[dickrazor]

God that would be one shitty drive wouldn't it... all the way through ND AND SD and THEN fucking Iowa. I can hardly stand my short drive.

[Brazoliange]

14 key tournament is possible, but unlikely largely because most people don't play it arcade and I wouldn't want to have the spacing be an issue. I'm not sure how many people would really want it over something else too. possibleeeee though.

What I'm considering at the moment really seriously as probabilities to be added sometime within a week or two:
DrumMania V3 AC
GF CS (V/V2/MPS/MPG) (with 2 ASCs)
possibly GH2
DDR 5th Mix or Extreme S4R (to replace the endurance tournament most likely)
Halo 2 or Gears of War
possibly IIDX CS

Also: If anyone has a Pop'n minicon or ASC they'd be willing to bring for use with our home version setups, please let me know ASAP.

[Mills McDougle]

SWEET!

Gears of War tourney makes me wet my pants.

The only thing that sucks about it is I need a team....

if we are going to do HALO 2, can we do FFA, none of my friends want to go to Nebraska because one of my friends is going to try his luck at MLG, and I have no clue how he getting into MLG in the first place.

Marc, you have no idea how much I love you. .

[Spork!]

If I remember, I can drag a IIDX ASC and a DJ Dao Pop'n...

[Brazoliange]

[dickrazor]

I'm pretty sure I posted this before but I can bring my IIDASC down with me if need be. And my 'cube and two controllers and SSBM.

[luvbooks688]

I'd go for a guitar hero tournament (i'd offer up my 360)

umkc ddr club's working on getting funds to come ^^, and I know that we have members who would love a freestyle competition

i'll participate in the DDR tourneys (PA and Endurance), the ITG2 FA, and possibly PIU (i haven't played NX yet...no arcades near me have it =(....)

the idea of an initial D tournament sounds fun too, although as long as the machine is on and the card readers work, i'll be happy ^_^ (i'm already stoked that you guys have guilty gear!)

also if any one was interested, i could bring the wii (wii sports and mario party 8 are the two multiplayer games i have at the moment)

as far as food goes, i'd go for the cheaper option ^^...i think it would be more laid back that way too
