Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Just one note...

The gaming area is in the same room and in view of the Redemption playing area. This will greatly restrict the games that will be played. Last year, we had a parent complain about their child being able to see Super Smash Brothers Brawl, which is about the upper limit of where we want to go during the official tournament hours.

So the off-hours gaming will run from about half an hour after the Friday sessions concludes (guessing 10:30 pm) through 7:00 am or so on Saturday morning, T- and reasonable M-rated games will be allowed. For the rest of the time you need to choose from amongst the variety of games SSBB and milder for video diversions.

the A.C.M.S.o.A strikes again! 

halo 1??? NOOOOOOOoooooooOooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooo!

Two things...

The church does indeed have Wi-Fi, but I am not sure if it is available for public use.  As of last year at this time, they had the Wi-FI password protected, and they did not want to share the password with anyone outside of the church staff.  On the bright side, if you have T-Mobile, they upgraded their Twin Cities network just yesterday to HSPA+.  I get over 1.5 Mbps tethered to my laptop. Yay me!

Second, I have asked for an expert opinion from JSB on what M games should be allowed.  I did tell him that I didn't think a church was a good place for zombies or other forms of the undead* and that seeing blood made me a bit woozy. That pretty much explains the basis for his list above. I will clarify that "Halo" means "any version of Halo." Once again these games are only allowed from 11 pm - 7 am.

*I told JSB the undead rule also applied to board games, and he is highly disappointed he can't bring his new favorite game (pictured below) to the tournament. He's taking this all pretty hard, so please don't stir up any further trouble.



Also, The Ungame is banned.  Please do not ask why, and do not argue with me.

Haza!

mjb, im assuming the restriction list applies mostly in part to m-rated games, correct? we are free to play any rated T or below game as long as it follows your other rules (no undead), correct?

That is correct.  T-rated games are, however, restricted during the official tournament hours except on a case-by-case basis (SSBB being one that I will allow).

Can we play pokemon stadium 2? I'll bring my n64

Can we play during ours if we play down stairs in the sleeping rooms? That way there is no rlk walking around. Can we play L4D2 than (zombie game)?

geting a tv down there will be a little more work.  We can hook up more than one Xbox.  How many boxs do we have coming?

One so far so please bring urs, also we can use the elevator to get it down there can't we?

Yes but the disappearance of one of the tv from upstairs might cause a panic....

I will repeat just so you are all aware: If necessary, I can bring a Wii, any Wii game I have, and/or a TV, but I won't bring any of these unless someone tells me to.

I'm not a rlk, am I?

No. But I will personally ensure that you are disallowed from playing Halo. Mom would only let us play GoldenEye with paintballs when I was your age. So it's only fair.
