Re: The Casino Arcade (London) Thread
Wow! I wonder if they'll sell me their Air Assault PCB.
Sorry - that was selfish.
So - who's up for a Wednesday or Thursday meet this year?
And DEL and Icarus - do you want in on the two Casino teams entering STGT'11?
I think we still have space.

I'm passing on the kind offer, as I have little to no time to play this year, and my loyalties are with namakoteam!, lol.spadgy wrote:And DEL and Icarus - do you want in on the two Casino teams entering STGT'11?
I think Smraedis might be taking part, give him a shout.

Re: The Casino Arcade (London) Thread
I can finally definitely, positively come in this Thursday... I'll be there at around 5-5.30pm or so, until I have to run off to Victoria and leave for Paris
Not sure I'll even be able to play anything at all after all this time though!
If you need filler for STGT you can even write down my name on the team since I should be able to play at the very least...

I doubt I'll make it tomorrow (today really...) but I'll see some of you at Skykid Meet; text or email me if you figure out what train you're catching so I know when to get there.

Re: The Casino Arcade (London) Thread
Hey all.
I've been dropped dead by illness so I'll almost certainly not be down today.
I tried to play Futari BL original mode yesterday while ill and crashed out on the second level, which is all the indication I need that I shouldn't be going out.

I was planning to come down for a few hours today, but it turns out there's a guy under a train somewhere along my route stopping me from getting there.
One of these days I'll definitely make it.

Re: The Casino Arcade (London) Thread
Sorry to hear that Sapz
I did manage to make it to Casino early in the evening yesterday, missing Spadgy evidently and completely failed to play at all, so it's probably a good thing nobody was around to watch then!
Unrelated, but watching people play SSFIV at the arcade sort of makes me feel like picking it up now since I'll have a fair amount of free time in the near future (I've never really played fighters before so I'll need some training to not make a spectacle of myself, as in see above)... does any of you guys play fighters too, any other recommendations other than SSFIV?

Spadgy signed up a while back. Eager beaver.hzt wrote:spadgy and CHIMX7 wrote:So who hasn't signed up for the tournament yet? Need to work out who I should be nudging.

I nominate JDE as the Goodgefellas captain, as I think he's the only person in Royale history to volunteer himself for the role :O
Anyway, we'll all be organising ourselves as one 'super-team' anyway, so there'll be plenty of opportunity for passing the buck
Yeah, I thought as much. Would be cool if we could get him on board, even if his participation is sporadic.Mills wrote:Doubt Chi has time to sign up nowadays.
Still need another member for Goodgefellas just in case... Lordstar definitely said no, and I can't think of anyone else who's not already taken. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

The Goodge, The Bad and the Ugly has 6 people now so if we ask dex and switch someone (spadgy?) to Goodgefellas it will work out even if CHI doesn't have time. (But I hope he does!)

Why are you so keen to get rid of Spadgy? What's wrong with him?
But yeah, awesome, good to know we've got that to fall back on (y)

I'm not going to be able to go down till Tuesday :<
But on Tuesday I'm going to come back to London and I'm not leaving until I've played 4 player Darius Burst. I will hold people in Casino against their will if necessary.
