Why would they use no bloom if MLG doesn't? A little bit obnoxious if you ask me. I know I won't be showing if MLG doesn't take bloom out then

Bloom will be out. We are not using it.. Now setups.. Need everyone to bring some so this tournament can go fast. Again like always I got 16 monitors 10 xbox 360s Need halo disc and byoc.

We're doing to to try and get more people to show up. More people like no bloom than bloom from the people I've talked to in this state. If we say we're using no bloom this tournament then people will come in here and complain about that, of course we're not going to please everyone.
If you can come up with some very good reasons as to why we should no bloom then I'll talk to Timmy about it. However, "I want to go to Providence and this will mess up my practice if MLG uses bloom and you guys use no bloom" is not a good excuse in my opinion, not saying you would use it, just throwing it out there. I would agree with that statement if it were the other way around and we made you adjust to bloom, but when going to no bloom you don't need as much "time" to adjust. Simplified version of what I'm saying: Going from bloom to no bloom is much easier than going from no bloom to bloom.
-
I like the no bloom, I just want to argue, I won't be there regardless
-
In that case we'll switch it to bloom
this statement is sarcasm
-
Me and Max probably need 2 for this. Just send me a message on live.

All girl FFA? lol

All girl FFA? lol
girl/gərl/
Noun:
A female child.
A person's daughter, esp. a young one.
Hope I cleared up the confusion...
-
-_- thanks for the definition. I'm just wondering why
-
-_- thanks for the definition. I'm just wondering why
Well I'm going to guess that since this is a tournament put on by the UCO gaming club that there are a couple girls that don't play near as much as everyone else that would like to have fun, especially since this tournament is being put on by a girl.
-
Thank you, that makes more sense.
-
So apparently you can only attend if there is a UCO student on your team...
-
that's some gay ish
-
G Wade and I are UCO students. Let the bidding begin.

This tourney is to hype uco/ edmond videogaming up... So I'm sorry If you disagree with how i chose to run things but that is how its going to be ran. Anyone can attend but you must have at least one uco student to play in your team.. girls ffa is because most girls just want to pwn eachbother here and not worry about the guys...obviously there are girls that play with the guys but most don't want to. Over all... It's going to be a lot of fun.. on top of winning money...grand prize will win play time and skill reviewing with Walshy... I need to finalize prizing but everything will be pretty fun so don't b.itch about the little things and game on. I'm pumped :)
-
How are we going to pick up a uco kid? just on the spot? lol

-

That's a bummer. I was actually really looking forward to this tournament, but I definitely don't know anyone from that school.
-
Just get 2 of your friends and pick up a UCO student for your team when you get there, it's not that difficult.
-
i would love to go, but i'm not drving to risk picking up a scrandola.
-
The good thing about this is We will get to pick up new gamers. Bad thing is I dont know how many 4v4 teams we will get. So I'm thinking this should be 2v2
Amp already said hex no.. what do yall think cuz whats the use of having a 4v4 and cant even have more then Made you look.
-
No.. its going to remain a 4v4 currently. We have tons of uco students entering teams. Not just the people that normally come out to this event. After tables have been setup in our university building hype for the event... If it ends up looking like it needs to be changed well go from there. The halo gamestop launch is also the 15th which we will be passing out flyers at... I'm taking care of the pr work.... It'll be A-okay guys :)
-
I guess I'm going to need to transfer to UCO for about a week lol. But if anybody that goes there wants to go with Max and I let me know.
-
I'll try to get advertising ready to go this week. We will have a set amount of teams as this is a late night based tourney and we need to stick to ending a certain time :) send concrete info soon :)
-
Also... 4v4 made it easier for non uco students to still be involved which was my thought.. I don't want to exclude you guys but uco is the focus and at least one uco.student will be required to show I'D ..... I was going for no.bloom but majority rules

So it is bloom settings now?
-
Is there anyway you could have some of the students post their gamertags on the site so we can at least see what we're working with?
-
Albino - This is still no bloom unless the majority of people want it the other way, which most likely won't happen.
-

Yeah, I wouldn't mind still going, I would just rather not drive there then hope to find someone there, but if I can confirm someone ahead of time, that would be cool.
-
Might want to add that a OCU student is required on each team to the OP. Glad I went ahead and read the whole thread lol.

Yep, Still in Manhattan. How have you been man?
Arkady gets back from Iraq right before this event so we thought it would be cool to get the old team together for this. If you guys change your mind about the OCU student requirement I'll bring my to4 and four monitors and consoles.

Really? How long have you been up here? Bad ♥♥♥.

I'm a sophomore I school now. Unfortunately I won't be up here after this year though, too expensive for out of state.
I still haven't decided if I'm going to this yet, I can go but not sure if I will.

Nice, well if we can't play at this event I'll hold a LAN at my store in JC. You as always are welcome to come.
-
Yea man for sure. Just let me know and I'll be there.
-
Some current info I can give you all
- It will be most likely capped at 24 Teams for the 4v4
- There will be a designated time for an all girl FFA to bring in casual girl gamers for a small portion of it that don't want to play against the guys...but obviously anyone can play in the 4v4
- Once I get the collateral for the event finalized I will be making twitter & an event page with ALL the information
- There you all will be able to post and network with UCO students interested in making a team - talk & game with each other in preparation for tourney domination
- Entry fee currently is looking at about 15$ per player.
- Right now it is no bloom...considering a skill based tourney is where it's at that is why we are going with that. Despite current MLG settings. Majority dislike bloom.
I realize, having gone to events, this event is going to be ran very much the same thanks to the help of HXC and OkGamer guys, but with a lot of different twists and hopefully tons of new faces from my university. This is to expand gaming in this area of Oklahoma & not keep it to the same people you see at every event..though we know guys like GWade and Jon both attend UCO..theres a lot of fun for everyone attending.
This tournament will be very nonstop. We are starting exactly at 6 o clock with team registration starting at 5. We will be running this tourney to end by 2 AM or at least close to it...which is why we made the 24 team cap. And We haven't decided on elimination yet. I'm working with HXC to figure out details.
So if I can answer any other questions let me know..
BUT until I get the FB announcement... Just know..
1 UCO student, 15$ player currently..
There will be prizes for mini goals achieved during games :)
If you pay 15$ we don't want you walking away with nothing..
Free food, drinks...All the money will be going towards the cash out..
Mini goals will be things like...
Whoever goes the most positive in a game, craziest killstreak, noscopes..
To things like...who tweets the most with the hashtag of the tourney...
I think it will put an interesting twist on the tourney...
This will result in something like giftcards or the player getting to take hom a 4 pack of Red Bull :)
Thanks guys! Feel free to throw in suggestions and I'll definitely look at all of them!
-
Well put Mrs Blondie. Post looks good

I disagree completely; I understand all the points that are being made very well too.

I disagree on the whole needing a UCO student to compete :-\

This isn't a 'harcore' tournament, this tournament it to promote the gaming club at UCO. And in that case, it makes sense.

I never said I wanted a "hardcore tournament" did I? I just want to compete without randomization. Hosting a tournament where certain individuals are excluded is not the way to go. Just my opinion though. :P

I am 100% under the impression this event STARTED totally open, and at a very late stage, that rule had to be put into place. Please do not heckle event coordinators on this issue; it's not the first, and it won't be the last time a College Event has rules like this. Colleges do private events all the time due to funding issues, legal issues with using college funding for non-students, etc. Man, TU used to host all these Soul Calibur tournaments in Tulsa and wouldn't let any real players in ;)
OKgamers will also go officially on record as saying this: while no rules were broken, OKgamers.com cannot in good conscience support/promote an event that is not a public event. OKgamers Provides a Free Not-For-Profit Public Service to the Oklahoma area community, however the events posted usually are public accessible. For the future we'd ask that all events that our posted to OKgamers.com be open access to the public. We know no real harm was ever intended, and rest assured OKgamers staff will do our best to make these standards clear and concise for future event coordinators and business owners.

It's not private haha Anybody off the street can play, all they need is a UCO student not their team to compete.
It would be private if only UCO students were allowed to play.

Kaddy Loves Kittens..
Dude.. Please be mindful of what ya type on here
This post has been moderated ....

The point is 99.9% of Oklahoma gamers probably dont know anyone that plays halo at OCU besides jon and grant so its pretty much private if you ask me lol we didnt have to have a OU student on our team when we went to play in norman lol makes no sense to me
-
if you ask me
No one did ask you.
-
No one ever ask's you mason and you jump in lol so its a fair game!
-
im the best player at uco
??? :-*
-

I have reasons for my thoughts, you have bias.
It's her tournament, her rules.
If you want to have a tournament with your own rules then go for it. No one's stopping you.

The event in Norman was one of Timmys events. This event is SoonerBlondies and her Video Game Club. Im assuming she asked Timmy to post it to get more traffic. So since its a UCO Club doing this, the one UCO student per team rule makes perfect sense.
-
to3 needing a UCO Student to make the team "eligible". Hit me up on here or Live (WarrioR sHeeZy)
-
+rep for Jonathan Blumberg up there
-
This event is to help UCO Gaming Club Just find 1 teammate that goes to UCO if not, dont go guys. Its not stupid, its fair, its a community we need to explore just like OU's so we can get more gamers.
-
Alright. Okay. nuff said... If i wear a wig, can I compete in the girls' ffa? :)

HxC is not doing another Halo 4v4 till February
-
Why not until February?
-
Why not until February?
Do you know how hard it is to Organize Events around the Holidays? Yea Hard.. And not to mention more expensive. Plus New Halo is coming out right? Will give it time for all the Bugs to be worked out..
Not speaking for Timmy Here.. but Just stating the Obvious Reason Why Not till February.
-
Why not until February?
Plus New Halo is coming out right?
Actually no. Just new maps.

UPDATE FOR EVERYONE
The 1 UCO student rule has been taken off.
3 of the 4 players on your team must be college aged.
So like one team has 3 college guys and 1 sixth grader.
Get it?
BUT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS MUST, and I repeat MUST...be attending some type of school..
online, tech, university, local college, highschool/middle school (but only one of your players can be a younger guy if you decide to team with a younger kid).
Encouraging a balance of gaming & school.
It will be 10$ per play in the 4v4
5$ for all girl FF (open to only UCO students)
Hopefully this opens it up a bit more ;)
HERE is a link the the Facebook event page!!
PLEASE PRESS ATTENDING if you are coming!

No Timmy, for the girls FFA you have to go to UCO.
-
:( really?? how come the 4v4 is for anyone but the girls ffa isnt? is it because too many girls have already signed up from uco?? sorry im new to all this
-

Just come anyway to check it out to watch. I'm sure they wont mind. But the reason is this event is to benefit the UCO gaming club. The FFA is for girls that attend UCO the 4v4 is for students that are in some sort of school.
-

Like amp stated on the first page of the thread, most likely its because the few girls don't play much and they just want to have fun. Trust me, I was disappointed aswell ;)
-
aww man, well if i promised to play with my toes instead of my hands could i play LOL just messing. ok, thank you guys for clearing that up
-

Lol just keep checking okgamers there will be more tournaments in the future where all girls can play
-
Got two college guys looking for two more (had 2 drop out). Looking for two average/above average players to make up a competitive team. We each have KD spreads 1.3+, would like to find a couple guys (or girls) 1.25+ or near it at least. Message me on facebook, I posted on the fb page wall, email me, hit me up online: SilvR Zer0. We'll run some games online sometime before the tourney.
-

Mystique's team she played on made me realized that I sucked at Halo so I started playing gears more. They beat us 50 to 22 :'(
-
Do all of the student players have to show student ID or anything when they register?
