SE United States meet-up. Location and fees set. Need definate attendees. Confirm!

[KagerouSama]

Thread for members to discuss meet-ups in Southeastern United States, including all states once part of the Confederacy:

Alabama
Georgia
North and South Carolina
Kentucky
Louisiana
Mississippi
Tennessee
and Virginia (Excluding West Virginia, as they refused to seceed. :D )

I thought it was a good idea to include so many states in one place due to how rural they tend to be.

Discuss as you will!

--KagerouSama

EditNote: Removed Florida for now....they seem to have quite a few get togethers on their own...but still welcome. And I suppose I could include Texas, even though they joined the union after the Civil War...I'm not sure if Texas is considered part of the Bible Belt or the beginning of the Midwest. (f.y.i. wanted in as Slave state, but denied if I remember right.)....this get together thread may just be edited to four-states to keep things better managed.

[BeefJerky]

I'd like to host one since Huntsville seems to be in the middle of where a lot of members are (2 hours from Atlanta and Nashville, 4 hours from Memphis and Knoxville). Wouldn't be able to pull a good one unless my folks went outta town and left me home alone (dunno how that'd manage to happen).

If someone else is hosting I'd be down for a little road trip (just got my own car). I have MVS carts, and will have a consolized MVS soon.

My games:
Art of Fighting 3
King of Fighters '99
King of Fighters 2k2
Metal Slug 2
Rage of the Dragons
Real Bout Fatal Fury
Samurai Shodown 1
Samurai Shodown 3
Samurai Shodown 5
Stakes Winner

I'm cool with bringing a few to the event, I'd hate to lug all of em with me.

Dunno if I'd drive more than about 2 hours to the gathering though, but who knows..

Maybe this thing will take off.

-Matt

[KagerouSama]

Okay, cool.

Neo Ash may be in a better centralized location for a meet-up. But I don't want to voluenteer him for this service, it's not my intention.

Only Neo I have to date is a Pocket Color...not much for a get-together. I can't really go AES or MVS because, unfortunately, I'm too heavily invested in Sony to pull out now.

However, I do have quite the boatload of "inferior ports" I could bring to the occasion. Even though I may also have to bring co-axial and component cables, along with the systems, I wouldn't mind so much as I'd actually be getting competition.

I've got a good many controllers for all but my SuperNES...but with better ports on faster systems, it wouldn't really be worth hauling along unless someone was die-hard on playing some World Heores.

Hopefully the meet-up thread will get a tad more life to it...we may see some southerners comming out of the woodwork.

Btw, should I bring a pre-seasoned skillet for the cornbread, or is one of those readily available?

--KagerouSama

[Neo Ash]

I’d really like to host a meet. Unfortunately I can’t.:( I’m transferring to a different college, Georgia College and State University, so I will not be home that often. I have not added a new game to my AES collection in a very long time; I’ve been concentrating on my Neo CD collection. I don’t really have a good setup…only 1 27” TV that sucks. I’d be glad to bring a few games or whatever to a meet. I just can’t pull off hosting one right now.

What’s up with the Southeast in general, especially Georgia and Alabama. The Neo scene is basically nonexistent.:mad:

[KagerouSama]

What’s up with the Southeast in general, especially Georgia and Alabama. The Neo scene is basically nonexistent.

I, for one, blame the Parent Teacher Associations.
It's been a lot of litigation that I think led to it. People were okay, back when I lived in Talladega, Alabama, with having a Street Fighter 2 cabinet at the local Wal-Mart. Most of the teens and a few adults enjoyed button-mashing for Chun-li or E. Honda.

But a few years later Mortal Kombat came out, followed shortly by Primal Rage...and parents, local community leaders, and the parsonage started viewing these games in general under a different light since they went from mild-cartoon like violence in an animated setting to a gory, bloody, maiming gauge fest complete with fatalities and animalities and the like.

Since then the trend shifted back to gambling machins and hunting games. In the City of Calhoun alone there are more shooters than you can shake a stick at. The only fight games we had left were on an UltraCade cabinet at the Wilco truckstop in Resaca up untill a little over a month ago--where they replaced it with, of all things, a gambling/carnival simulator that used a light gun!

As far as the rest of the scene goes in my surrounding counties, there's a dance machine, Namco fighters, and a SF3:TS machine that gets some hispanic play (my only available competition.).

Other than that, it's shooters out the wazoo, old Midway sports games, or Pac-Man. The only Neo I can find up here is in the local theatre running only Metal Slug X. Other than that, the only other Neo I've seen in the state was in Valdosta, Ga playing Puzzle Bobble 2.

It's been a trend to moves towards that "God of Football," and the military trend of "shootin' a gun what ta' kill stuff."

I just hope the trend changes soon. Most all my 2d games outshine the vast majority of 3d games anyday. I just have to hope that one day people will realize that gameplay can be better valued that graphics.

--KagerouSama

[Xander Crews]

Well, currently I'm in Knoxville. For another week. Then its back to Jacksonville, FL. There really is not a lot of people anywhere. I know 2 in Knoxville including myself. Giga Power is somewhere in east TN not sure where, a few in Memphis complete other side of the state.

Problem is nothing is centralized. Maybe a meetup at one of the Atlanta auctions in the morning then someone around there would be good Atlanta seems fairly centered to everyone.

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN! :p

They have their X, we have ours.

[Neo Ash]

KagerouSama…you’re exactly right. One game that really pushed things over the edge was Time Killers. Gaming in the South sucks! I had never seen or touched an AES until I got mine…all those years of waiting.


Where are the Southeast ng.com members at....get in on this thread!

[KagerouSama]

Back to my previous rant......

I remembered soemthing I left out.
Another reason the Neo never really took off, especially for Georgia and Alabama, could probably best be that the vast majority of the citizens in these states are low and middle income brackets.

And, while games are fun to have, medical expenses, food, clothing, and housing often take priority. For those that do game, they usually go with the cheaper home systems and whatever games have been advertised over what games they've played in arcades. (It's why I can't go full out Neo myself.)

Other than that, I think I've touched all the points there is to touch on this now.

--KageoruSama

[Neo Ash]

I think this thread deserves a sticky. Modz please sticky...thanks.

[BeefJerky]

There are two other members in the Huntsville area, one doesn't post anymore (suicidesamuri) and the other I haven't seen online in a few days (jp.). If I can get in touch with either I'll see what there stance is on hosting something.

[KagerouSama]

Well, the sticky won't happen. Sure, it could happen....
But, in hindsight...it doesn't make too much sense to sticky a region-specific thread...so I'm renouncing the thread title's request for a sticky.

--KagerouSama

Btw, any ideas for a name for a SEUS meet-up?
Maybe the Cornbread classic? I dunno'....

Or, looking back at my post... how about the "Dr. SEUS-togethers?"

[PleaseKillMeNow]

Depends on the place/date.

[Nesagwa]

When do you guys plan on doing this, If it is later in the summer I could possibly drive up (before July, but after June 5th).

[KagerouSama]

Date and Time are uncertain at the moment. I suppose it depends on when BeefJerky breaks down to host.

[BeefJerky]

LOL, thanks Kagerou.

I dunno, how about we rent like a hotel business meeting room or something? There's a hotel here in Madison off the interstate (a smallish city right outside West Huntsville) that does that. We could always do that I suppose. Sometime in the summer sounds good, that would allow students to be on summer break, etc. A few people could lug some TVs or monitors up there, a couple power strips, a few Neos, games, refreshments (someone buy a keg :glee: ), and I think we'd be set.

Also, we could hold a little buying/selling/trading session which would be a nice way to circulate Neo stuff. I for one would love to see interest and participation in that.

We could also do tournaments and have an award ceremony ala the Anaheim gathering. Who will take home the Worst Competitor award?? You'll have to show up to find out. :buttrock:

[KagerouSama]

What's the name of the Hotel? You know if there's a site with rental information?

Hmm, we'd need power strips, a few extension cords......

Any reqested games for a meet up?

Should we each list what we respectively own to pick and choose tournaments?

We kinda need feedback n' such...

Just keep in mind, Matt. If it's being held in such a public forum as a hotel business room or ballroom area, alcohol probably isn't the best idea--especially to present a public image. That, and I'd rather not hear any news being reported around for aiding a minor in aquiring alcohol. (An offense quite punishable in Georgia.)
If you really want to get away with getting beer for youself, you may want to find a more private forum to do it.

Yeah, I was serious about getting beer. :make_fac:

Anyways, here it is, Holiday Inn of Madison, AL http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/emhd/hsvat

It'll say on the address it's in Huntsville which is kind of true. Madison is a bit of an odd town, we're here, then if you keep going West down Madison Boulevard there's a few miles that's still technically Huntsville. It's weird, I won't get into it, but yeah, they have meeting rooms, pretty nice hotel, etc.

As for what games, how about everyone just lists what they have to bring then we decide from there. I think I already listed what I have, all of you do the same.

For tournies (of what I have) I'm nominating King of Fighters 2002 and Samurai Shodown 3. I'm probably gonna have more games before then so I'll keep all of you informed.

[KagerouSama]

I've got "Ye ole trusty Dreamcast" with '98, MOTW, LB2 and Puzzle Bobble 4 if were desparate for Neo Gameplay....

I've got SF3: TS and CVS if those'll be popular enough.
Soul Calibur and VF3 too.
If we want a cheesefest, there's MVC and MVC2..
I may wanna' avoid my PSX games, unless there's a huge demand for a Capcom fighter I have.
Darkstalkers, Darkstalkers 3, Street Fighter Collection, SFA2. (CVSPro if we absolutely must have Dan and Joe.)

There's Ridge Racer games...but not really condusive to tournaments.

I like this idea. Give the hotel a call and get a price. I have no idea how much something like this would cost. The cost should be spilt among those that will be attending. Looks like the hotel has a fast internet connection and a projection system...super big screen Neo.:buttrock:

[KagerouSama]

Those accomidations look nice. But may be a bit big if our only turnout is a whopping three people.

A big screen would be awesome! Unfortunately, the hotel also lists most of the rooms as having natural lighting....which can mean it's either inside flourescents (liveable) or there are windows facing out into sunlight, which could mean a lot of glare on screens, providing it's sunny out.

Price per-person, per-night there right now looks to be kinda' high.. (quote was 89.xx, but part of a package deal I beleive.)

@Matt: how about calling them up and asking when their slow season of the summer is?....maybe we can get a better rate for then, as hotels usually drop a price if business is low.

How about food? The hotel lists quite a few places within two miles of the hotel. Maybe International House of Pancakes or Subway? Or maybe we should bring coverd-dish supper or brown-bag it..... whatever general concesus seems to be.

Anywho....the SouthEast US lies in wait!

--KagerouSama

[PleaseKillMeNow]

Someone bring a modded bawks and my chances of going will increase.

[BeefJerky]

I'll give em a call tomorrow. Let's see how many attendees we'll have before we make anything definate, I'll look around at some of the other hotels off the interstate there (off I-565, which turns into I-65 for those wondering). If there's not gonna be a lot of confirmed turn-out I may just do it at my house (heh). Let's get intouch with people on the forums and see if we can get loads of people into this. Show those west-coast punks how the hicks have a Neo party. ;)

As for food and shit, within walking distance of that hotel is: Quizno's, Krystal's and Wendy's. That's if you don't wanna dodge across the highway. Up and down the highway though there's also (trying my best from memory): McDonald's, Burger King, KFC, Subzone (the best), Tenders (chicken place, they suck IMO), Cracker Barrel, Ruby Tuesdays and Pizza Hut. There's also a Wal-Mart so we can buy massive amounts of soda for cheap. They also have cheaper smokes and beer for the of-age crowd ( :p ). IHOP and other such places are on the other side of town, so unless you wanna go out of your way it's not an option.

I was talking to Tom Wopat and chat and had a good idea, how about if we rent out a meeting room for 2 days for anyone that comes from farther away (Like Tom, he lives in Louisiana) so they don't have to drive for hours on end at night without sleep. Just sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag or some shit.

I'll get details tomorrow, also from other hotels, not just the Holiday Inn.

Let people know about this guys! The more the merrier, and the more the cheaper!!

[KagerouSama]

Let people know about this guys! The more the merrier, and the more the cheaper!!

Okay...I'll add a link to sig. Krystal sounds good to me...it's the cocane of fast food....

Two days sounds better too. It can take more than a day to drive to east Alabama from Southern Louisiana, I can understand a day extention. Still, we'll need to know a going rate.

Now that I got a price on a room (cheaper than I thought) We just need to get a set date and a list of definate attendees. If ten people go it'll cost less than $20 per person to cover the room.

Tom Wopat, Nesagwa, CheapNeoGeo, jp., suicidesamuri, Decepticon

Time Set at two days at Holiday Inn in Huntsville, Alabama.
Fee at $25 dollars a day so far for both days with current definates. I'll be cheaper if/when other people confirm.

Current MVS games (Assuming Matt's consolized is finished by the meet)
AOF3, KOF '99, KOF 2k2, Metal Slug 2, ROTD, RBFF1, Samurai 1, 3, +5, and Stakes Winner

Games/Tourney list is not final as yet. If the Consolized isn't ready other people can voluenteer consoles and games for the meet. Or, even if it is ready.

@Matt: If need be, I'll show up with t3h P0r75. Or, if Neo Ash wants to bring his NGCD or AES. Whatever works. NGPCs'll be welcome too, I'm sure. But someone'll have to put in for a few link cables from the NeoStore.

Tournies'll probably be double elimination on the spot, depending on how many people show up. Right now I'm guessing 2k2 and 99'll be good tourney games. Samurai 1 and 3 will probably have tournies too.

Looks like I gotta' practice with SS2. I'l be darned if I'm gonna' play SS1 on my SNES again.

[BeefJerky]

Add KoF95 and Kabuki Klash to my MVS cart list. I'm gonna have Magna try his damndest to get the consolized finished quickly. Though, someone will have to bring Neo controllers, I'm 99% sure I won't have one anytime soon..

NGPC action would be cool, I have an NGPC and 2 games (samsho2, sonic) but no link cable.

Kage: Go ahead and bring teh ports, tell me what systems they're for and if I have the systems I'll just bring mine so you don't have to lug too much stuff. Also there are THREE Holiday Inns in Huntsville. The one I'm trying to get the meeting room at is the Holiday Inn West on Madison Boulevard (right off I-565). It's in Madison (right outside Huntsville to the West) but technically it's in Huntsville (don't ask me, this place is confused).

Who's gonna help me smuggle food and drink? Unless we wanna be suckers and pay $1.50 for soda and $6 for a pound of potato chips (that's what they told me) we're gonna be sneaking our stuff in.

Okay, WE NEED TO SET A DATE!! How many days are we gonna be having this? One or two? So far I'm guessing anytime this summer is good for everyone, but we need to narrow it down. Sometime between June-July or sometime between July-August? Work with me people. :emb:

[KagerouSama]

@Matt PMs being sent about my game titles and consoles.

I had been waiting for shir0 to PM me with what ports he had willing to bring so I could get a complete game list up, but it hasn't happened. So I'll post what's planned to be brought later on today. Just a slight warning though....this may be a port-fest. We may need lots of composite cables and mini-TVs.

Edit: Also, you may want to bring your favorite arcade stick or controller. That way you have that feel of a home-team advantage, like the Astros taking a peice of Astroturf to every away game. Sure, it doesn't help them win, but it gives that at-home feel.

Anyone wanna swing by and pick me up? My mom said that's the only way I could go to this, and even then it's a "maybe".

[BeefJerky]

BeefJerky have you tried any other places that we might be able to have this? Does anyone live at an apt. that has a place that you can rent to have gatherings?

Hmm... Nope, can't say I know. You're free to host if you want, Decatur is just a stone's throw away from HSV. I'd host at my place except I'm 17 and still live with my folks and I know there's no way in hell I could have a bunch of people over unless they went out of town.

Kage: Mid July sounds fine.

Adam: You'll be lucky if anyone will be able to. Houston is a 12 hour drive...

The University Center at UAH could be cheaper... I could ask when I go in to work Friday. We'd also have access to some TVs, power strips, AV carts, etc.



But I don't know if they only rent out to students, or school functions or what. I could definitely ask.

[shir0]

We couldn't sleep there, though.

Games (for the guy who keeps asking me):

MVS:

I think those LB1 and LB2 games are mine, plus I'll bring SS4 and Sengoku 3.

Saturn:

Street Fighter Zero (jap)
Street Fighter Zero 2 (jap)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 - I'm a Alpha nut so I got both versions
Street Fighter Collection (jap)
Xmen: COTA
Marvel Super Heroes (jap - with Anita :drool:)
Xmen vs. Street Fighter (jap)
MSH vs. Street Fighter (jap)
Pocket Fighter (jap)
Vampire Hunter: DS's Revenge (jap)
Cyberbots (jap)

Dragon Ball Z Legends (jap) (just for fuck's sake)
Guardian Heroes - somebody better have a fucking multi-tap :D

Samurai Spirits 3 and 4 - (jap) dunno why, even though I have the carts,
I love me some saturn versions

P.S. I'm ANAL AS FUCK about my games, so nobody fucking touches
the sat. games - you smear-the-bottom-of-the-cd-with-your-thumbs
fucks. :D

[jp.]

I can bring a multitap. And since you're bringing all the Capcom stuff, I'll just bring Advanced V.G., Astra Superstars, Taroumaru, and Radiant Silvergun for teh Saturn. And of course, Twinkle Star Sprites for the DC. :buttrock:

[shir0]

I've got a shitload of dc fighters, so I'll bring those as well.

Glad you've got a multi-tap though, YOU BITCHES ARE GETTIN'
SERVED in Guardian Heroes battle mode. :)

That sounds like a killer idea. Do look into that, JP.

Arrr c'mon guys! We're looking at July probably, just decide which days between the 1st and 31st of July are the most conveniant! Any are fine with me.

[Neo Ash]

Arrr c'mon guys! We're looking at July probably, just decide which days between the 1st and 31st of July are the most conveniant! Any are fine with me.

The only possible way I can attend the meet, and I assuming most everyone else, is if it is on Saturday and Sunday. What does everyone think about late July?

[shir0]

Anytime in July is fine, we should all show up on friday and spend the
night where ever - then stay until Sunday.

Just a heads-up to everyone, there will definitely be some drinking, so
if you want to pitch in, let me know...I'm the unofficial bartender. :P

Seriously, if someone brings Virtua Tennis for the DC, not only WILL I go, but I will own each and every one of you with my Courier.


*Please note, parts of the above sentence may or may not be true*

[shir0]

You are a damn liar.

Prepare to be gutted like a fish.

Right now Matt is experiencing "personal Issues," and must suffer through an "appointment" with some "Important figures." Lets hope things turn out okay, or our Host will have to cancel on his duties, and we'll have to look for a new host and date for the event.

All we can do for the moment is hope for the best.

[shir0]

Ah ha...there is only one thing that could mean.

Beef, here's hoping you're ok, and the "important figures" let you off.

No date/time descided. Too many people with diverging plans. Meet is defaulted untill another, better organized meet can be formed.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm just sorry it fell through.

Maybe next time.
