The price overall will be around 177 to 200 all together depending on how many people are coming

Good god Nutrient, are you booking the Presidential Suite?? Myself and Voa got our room, which takes three, for €89 for the three nights between us or something like that!

EDIT: Just checked , sorry, it is €177 for our room, i thought it was a lot less than that when i booked it.. . Anyway, we have room for one more if you need to bump someone to us!

Thanks appreciate it:)

Just wanna make sure everybody has a place sorted

You guys probably got it cheaper because the booking was weeks in advance to the event

Nutrient

Done the booking, now we play the waiting game

I think I'm going to give it a miss this time but I'm itching to play Soul in a major. I'll be sure to hit you guys up when SvB comes around and if you're up at Slayers (and anyone is playing SC5), I'll see you there.

As a side note, I think we will print bumper stickers next year: big ones with "DON'T EVER BOOK YOUR ROOMS ONLINE, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE!!!" in capital letters...

If you haven't gotten your rooms yet, please phone them & make sure to use the password: "Festival International des Jeux" or better yet use the booking forms included in our Minus folder.

Please spread the word about this, it hurts me to see people swindled by crooked Online travel agencies.

Kurama_Tengu's on the latest Cross Counter Live, championing his event.
Nice big time spotlight man!

Also cheers for sorting out the stuff I pm'd you about so quickly, I appreciate the customer support.

chopperbyrne

The man reached legendary status a long time ago. Probably back when I put their paypal account over the limit and several peoples registrations went missing.

Sorted in a day.

Oh Guys...

Bachaka, The SSF4AE.2012 WTC steward is telling me than no-one responded to his messages & emails about the team composition...

Seriously?!...

Well I never received an email or message about it... who did he send it to?

Doctor DooM

Kurama also I sent a mail to the worldgamescup gmail account yesterday about the 3 v 3...

Doctor DooM

Ok I've spoken to them, kinda had to nominate myself as Captain.

They wanted names so I gave all those who said they were interested:

Doctor DooM
ChopperByrne
JunDP
Sairus
Ladnopoka

Let me know all is good.

I'm interested, but since there's only three places, I don't expect to get one unless most of us are taken out by food poisoning or something.

chopperbyrne

It's the international 5v5 he's on about.

Doctor DooM

Yup, and I don't think they'd be too impressed if I tried to change it now

UberPrinny_Baal

Ah.

That's a shame.

So Voa, Nutrient and Naphiel aren't on the 5v5 team...?

EDIT: Sorry, thought you were on about UMvC3.... Who's on the team for that one?

Is there a team for UMvC?

No one mentioned it to me (bear in mind I'm not interested in Marvel this year so it could easily have just passed me by)

Goody2shoes15

According to Kurama's big post we have a team entered for UMvC 5v5?

chopperbyrne

Has there been some comical mixup with the five of us playing Marvel?

chopperbyrne

Dave, your team is still down on the list of 3v3 teams for SSFIV, so if it happens to be included in the draw I'll play and we'll get one other.

Doctor DooM

chopperbyrne wrote: »

I can't see how, as I was asked to name characters and everything

chopperbyrne

Actually they said Marvel wasn't character locked so we probably will have a 5v5 team for it.

Uh, thanks for the heads up (and player commitment).

I have paypal confirmation I was refunded for the team I booked, so it's pretty likely that will get disqualified/dissolved.

I sent Kurama_tengu a PM, didn't want to swindle him out of an entry fee.
