sort of approved by Age of Kings and Hulavuta (don't hate me pls ;_;)
So this is a little idea that I pitched to the folks in charge about a week ago, and they seemed fairly positive about the idea so I thought I'd post it on the actual board to test the waters and get a bit of that delicious public opinion. To paraphrase from the PM conversation; the Battle Spot section's IRC channel has been dead for far too long, and so I've decided to try and organise a party (of sorts) to attempt to boot it up and get some activity going through there. I'm thinking of hosting a tournament (possibly on cartridge because eww showdown), possibly bullying some of the more experienced players into holding some AMAs and basically making it a good time for all involved.
The other reason for this thread is that we need to allocate a time for this thing: As we all live in different places around the world, it'll be difficult to cater for everyone who wants to stay up and enjoy our company due to pesky irl things like school, work, sleep, etc. We can, however, set a date, so I'm going to tentatively suggest that we hold this thing sometime next weekend, which in calendar terms would be the 15th and 16th of November. I'm open to the idea of pushing it back another week to coincide with the OR/AS release. Here's a helpful link if anyone wants to help me figure out the best time for this.
So what do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea, suggestions on how to ensure this runs smoothly (it's my first day ;_;)?
EDIT: Thanks EnGarde, I'm bad. Here's a direct link to the #battlespot IRC channel on mibbit. Also general information :D
The agreed on time will be from 6pm PST on the 15th Nov until 10pm the same night (Click me!)
