We weren't a major? Or is the stipulation a 30 man cap? I mean, this award thing is relatively minor, but I got a message from somewhere asking for clarity.

I don't know how much has been said about this but, Norcal Install will be sending the winner of our tournament in November to NEC. That only includes the plane ticket, but we're hoping to have a good presence there. I would also like to talk to a person from NEC (Which I hear is Stickbug) about possibly doing more player-related things like this and some possibilities for P4U. As for my own attendance, we'll see. Maybe I'll be @TravelingRice.

Usual NCI time, 12 PM.

The only time you cannot heal back to full or beyond is in awakening state. The gauge tops out at awakened health.

What are these lies and slander, lol

FYI the update should be incoming later this afternoon, been busy working on the website. Short Story: August 7th 2012 - Charity Event August 11th 2012 - First NCI of the New Season September 8th 2012 - Reach Out To The Truth - Super NCI Other dates still yet to be locked down, and we say goodbye to this thread. So so long old 2010 thread, it's been good to us but to get information out better, a new one needs to be made every month so information doesn't get flooded out (A lock of this thread would be even better).

I've been slow updating the website because of a few accomodation snags for our guest, but essentially I need every and all bodies to be there Saturday if they're not going to NWM. It's important for there to be a turnout not like last month.

SUPER Late but, you wound me severin ;_;. Just kidding, I'm not doing well these days in BB just because of time. Truth be told I wish I had more time to just play games in general, thanks anyway for support Star-Demon.

If it means anything Mother's Day is Sunday, not Saturday. But either way I know the turnout will be low since Finals and this will happen.

I'm going to see what the turnout does before possibly removing those games to free up space, Honnou and the Gundam community seem to like NCI exposure still.

May 12th. Reg ends 12 PM, Brackets start afterward. SG, BB, KOF, GvG. GG, Poverty Night.

Thanks for posting about it, I was about to update the website and post in this thread the recent updates, primarily SCV and Catherine-related information. SCV is probably gone in May, Skullgirls taking the spot. Catherine will be less of a focus and have a minimum cap, but in general a side tournament (Subject to complete removal). More updates later on. I think it's a Skullgirls-only tournament, so times can be much later in the day on that Saturday. I'll update the facebook etc. The question is then, what time it should start. Thanks in advance for running it if I don't make it out that Saturday. ~Chun

As much research as I could find, a PS3 release date for Skullgirls doesn't look like it's going to be simultaneous with the XBLA release, and given most of the setups and the short time between here and now, I think the next NCI will be the first Saturday of May. However, if people want to have an April 14th NCI, please give your input now. I have been playing with a "Mini-NCI" idea just so people can play Day 1 Skullgirls.

The world looks a lot clearer with academic responsibilities finally out of the way for a Spring Break. Thank you to everyone that gave me feedback about the way things were run in SNCI, I've already started a plan for the next event which will be posted in a new thread, because I think this one is getting too long, after using it for the past 1.5 years. I read every post about SNCI that has happened in the past few pages, your voices are heard, and I'll continue to have updated threads since people are adamant about external sources for information. Also, I'm looking for people that can help me in the administrative part of updating tournament content, particularly keeping the dustloop thread updated, getting me the questions that need answering regularly, and people willing to update facebook content as well. This also will include posting the final brackets/getting that information up so people can view them the day after the event. If you're interested please PM me or send me a message at norcalinstall@gmail.com with what responsibilities you'd like to assist with. Thanks for your time guys.

I can just as easily have made a poll using a generic website. Also, since people wanted to look only at this thread for the information I put the link to the facebook because I can't edit a poll into the top. Frankly, if you have a million issues with what I'm doing, send them to norcalinstall@gmail.com, or write on my user wall, so I can manage them. Looks like everyone's coming out of the woodwork to weigh in on this one about events in general to tell me how much I'm screwing up. It gets stressful trying to manage every person that didn't mention or talk to me about these problems in person for the past few months all at once, so please do that if you don't want to post on this thread.

qwerty and Solex: The bottom line is I'm stretched way too thin to manage all of these things myself only. 'm going to take these flaws and try to get them fixed by having more people doing more tasks, but again, it's strictly voluntary because no one gets paid in NCI. I'm frankly the only person updating NCI information everywhere, with Coopa making a flyer and updating the NCI facebook as we go. SNCI made me realize I can't continue to do all the work myself, so as a major for future planning I'll hopefully have some sort of staff that can help me out.

Sorry for... answering what you're asking with what I know? Thank you, come again!

No, I read you clearly, I don't read posts that often because of the other 3 things I manage and ask with. So yes, that is my fault to be had, because in the past the pages piled too quickly and my information also was missed. For example when asked "When is the next NCI?", while I already had the date on the first page of the thread and posted.

So... do you read yourself type or are you just getting your kicks insulting me? I post here and take time to post just so you can understand how the decisions I've made and the responsibilities I've accepted. Again, you give me no notion that you understand why I posted the previous text.

How can I be informed about your discussion when I haven't been notified at all; am I expected to constantly monitor every post in Norcal and NCI while also managing the other media outlets? We lost a lot of information in the thread because of the sheer numbers in the past of posts. I'm not constantly reading every single reply in this thread because I manage the other outlets to get data out. Also, claiming my paragraphs were garbage and have no substance automatically tells me what kind of opinion you hold for anything I type in regards to your reply, but I'll continue. Right, I accepted the responsibility of running the tournament bracket late, as I replied in the thread. I don't understand why you tell me to "Man the fuck up" when I have already explained the standpoint as a TO my decision made and my plans to change it. At its core, NCI is still a community event, and all I have for you is the outlets I can manage to get the information out. Much of the community does nothing but complain about issues that they themselves are guilty of, or bring issues based off of my decisions (Feedback) which I then use to plan for the next event. I'm going to be frank here. The one tournament that consistently does not meet time standards in the past and had the most issues for the past few months has been consistently Guilty-Gear/MB/Gundam community related, so it's very hard for me as TO to take what your community says seriously about scheduling and time as you are partially the cause of the delay, and similarly why I have a designated TO. Also, I have not once insulted people directly in this thread or online. I try to answer as many questions as I can, but it's very hard to take you seriously as well when you clearly have no respect for who you're speaking with, despite the amount of time I consistently allocate for your event and try to feature as much as possible despite the past flaws. Frankly, whatever slander is thrown at me is baseless unless you've given me a legitimate contribution to the event or are actively participating in it. That's all I can say about that.
