[Huy]

This topic is now open for discussion.

Also I will be attending!

 

[CCM30]

We should definitely make a list of who has been invited (if we can) after Newark is over to get a good idea of who will be representing Smogon at Nats.

 

[Ninahaza]

woot i cant wait for the nationals weekend, its gonna be so much fun and i am gonna be taking pics with everyone so no one hide ok. there were two mountains to conquer, i conquered the first one [finding a way to make the trip to indi] but the second one is kicking my ass really bad. the second mountain to conquer is making a team i can actually be happy with. at this point i just hope i dont become like one of those people who just keeps making edits/new teams that nationals is here and i still dont have a team........again

 

[Oberon]

I hope to attend if I get top 4 at Newark! wooo!

 

[CCM30]

Hey, does anyone think we could get a stream for this up? I think that'd be pretty sick to have a stream. Someone who goes from Smogon just to watch or gets knocked out early could host it.

i was thinking of doing something like that. i will be taking my laptop, video camera and camera with me and i know i will have internet access, atleast with all those equipment i hope to update maybe in a 5 minute interval with pics and video's. if its not a live stream then youtube takes some time for the video's to be viewed, but they should be viewable that same day late afternoon time most likely if i post then in the morning time when the event takes place. but its all still in planing. i am wasting so much time on building my nats team that i havent gotten to planing things yet

There's a UStream app for the iPhone people should try out if they've got a data plan. I wouldn't mind a Smogon stream that weekend (or at any of the regionals!) =)

 

[CCM30]

If we could set something up, hell, I'd even host it. Newark is too soon to set it up, but we should try getting one together. Maybe setting up a table with a camera for the host who can give updates, transitions to stuff, etc, and have someone going around with something like that UStream app that can video the crowd and talk to people, as well as stream matches.

Red backpack? Am I a joke now?

 

[jgiles]

Red backpack? Am I a joke now?

Why would you think you're a joke? You always say you're the kid with the red backpack, it's even in your signature. That's what people are going to look for when they look for you....your backpack.

 

[mattj]

Lol Paul. I like the "nicks" in between the names. That's cool!

 

[Victory Star]

I'll be in nationals and so will my cousin who made it to the top 8 in the junior division.

The only reason it's in my sig is because apparently that's what I've made everyone think I am.

 

[Ninahaza]

hey umm JRank at nationals when i am taking a picture with everyone i was wondering if ummm.....you know.. .. hrrmmmm, you know if i can take one with the red backpack :)

 

[felix]

You missed me, I made top 4 in Seattle and I am planning on going to Indianapolis

 

[FMasamune]

Just as an edit for smogon my last name is Tarbell, Torbell is a typo on the Pokemon website.

Lol sure I can see you having a picture with my backpack and the back of my head.

 

[Dances with Ninjas]

By the way, the VGC site screwed up. It's spelled "Pickett". Act like you care!

 

[JRank]

And how did skarm (it said he made the list) know that my name was Jonathan Rankin?

Nintendo publishes the list. If you want it removed from this forum, though, PM me and I will delete your name from that post, your post and this post ;)

No, it's cool, I saw my name. (on the site) I want to know how Skarm knew that was me.

 

[mingot]

We're keeping track. Of everything.

 

[Jayque]

I made top 8 in Dallas and plan to attend ... but as I did not join until after the regional qualifier, perhaps I don't count.

The Smogon moderators stalk everyone. It's big brother!!
