RESI FEST 09

wolfgirl

Almost a Jibble Sammich
Just this crazy, off-the-top-of-my head idea I had - I'm sick and tired of not being able to afford going places. Especially with all the cool festivals that were going on this summer (I really wanted to go to Beautiful Days again)! I'm sure in this economic climate, some of you have had the same problem. Or maybe you couldn't go because of parents. Whatever the problem was, I have a little solution...

RESI FEST 09!!!

If people are up for the idea, then I will create a separate forum purely for this festival. This forum would run primarily along one weekend (if I find that I can open and close forums, I could run it on specific dates), where people can play games and mingle and have a generally fun old Resi time.

What's so different about that forum if you're just playing games and mingling? We do that on here already, I hear you say.

Well, I have had some little twists - along with the forum games there will be a special forum for online gaming invites, where people can set up threads with invites for games at specific times (e.g. "Left 4 Dead tonight at 8pm, who's in?"), and also a forum for a special time attack challenge where users can play any Resi game they want, and doing it within specific time periods gets them medals (which they can use on their sigs).

The idea is that anyone can join in, and some people would have different ideas for their festival weekend - some may just come to the forum to join in discussions, some may come online to have a go at time attacks (bring your TVs near the computer or something?) and some may have full on Resi parties with a few friends to try each other with time attacks and check out all the Resi stuff on the RESI FEST forum.

Prior to the event, I will upload print-and-cut-out Resi stuff for your Resi nights, whether it's with friends or on your own - bunting designs, signs, badges, masks and more

There would also be a general discussion forum, music forum (for people's ideas of playlists, what they're listening to now etc) and a photo forum of your Resi nights.

The great thing about this fest is that it's free and you can join in at any time whilst not having to take time off work :D

If this goes ahead, it will take place from Friday 21st August to Monday 24th August, 2009.

Who's in?
 
The resi evil fest sounds fine. But theres already a board for online gaming, and organising and inviting etc, its the games night one. you could have people speed running through resident evil games to see who can be the best etc. but proof will be needed of times. And no faking.

I know, but if you're in the the Resi Fest forum it would save having to cross between forums all the time. People could organize special ones for the weekend or something. If people want to use this forum's thread, then I'll just link to that one.

I was going to have a whole forum for it, so the list of threads would be a bit more organized and look something like this:

"Left 4 Dead 8pm SATURDAY"
"Who wants to play DoD right now?"
"Gears of War lets go"
etc...

I mentioned that above. No idea how people will be able to prove it, so I may just take people's words for it - this is a forum of honest people :) And like I said, there will be medals :D
 
Use your camera to take a picture of the results screen. What i always do. But i will be on the look out for fakes, ive seen it done before, on another forum. Someone took a picture of the top re2 speed runs and claimed it was his own. Honestly what are the odds of getting the same minutes and seconds as the best lol. So yeah i will be spotting for fakes if we do speedruns.

If I can work out how to do it, do you want to be a mod for that forum?
 
Sorry to double post but needed this to go up so you can see this update:

I have thought about the forum layout, and preliminary plan is as follows..

LOUNGE AREA
General Discussion
Photos & Videos

GAMES
Forum Games
Online Invitations
Speedrun Challenge

ENTERTAINMENT
Movies
Music



During the festival weekend people could, as I mentioned before, host a variety of different evenings:
- on their own, simply enjoying the online company
- with friends, having a go at the speedrun/online games
- with friends, having a movie marathon of the Resi films

etc etc

I wanted to bring RE fans together for an event, and to also host a free event so that people like myself (skint xD) can have a great time

But I need to know... are people up for this??
 
i think im pretty good at resident evil 5 speedruns, i finish it in less time than the remake!

LOL I just want to know if people would join in or not so I know whether to spend the time setting it up... I'd love to do it but only if enough people want in
 
Will there be jill sandwiches?

Well to be honest i'm not even really that Resi techy, i beat one game and think i know **** and then i start hearing about other stuff i've never heard of.I only need to complete 1,3,CV snd the rest of 0(i think)but ye-..BLAH!Anyway yeah why not, i wouldn't be up for time attacks but i guess i could join in the daily yarns and all that jazz.

It does seem a bit gay how its all online though if you know what i mean?Like:
"You hear that party?"
"Oh yeah wheres it at bro?"
"Happening right here...on the internet...at RE news...Costumes and all man its gonna be mad....oh i forgot...its invite only..."
"...Get out of my house."

Nah joking but what i'm saying is maybe we don't need to go to far with costumes and such because it isn't exactly easy to show it off lol.No i'm sorry i'm acting like a dirty senile old nanna.Your idea is great and i'd love to tag along.:)

LOL, you had more opposite opinions in that post and ups and downs than a hormonal teenager

xD

No, costumes aren't required xD I guess if you feel like it there's no stopping ya!

The main focus of the night is gaming, and bringing the RE fans together for a weekend of hard gaming :D
