Posted by: RaxaTrepe Jul 15 2009, 08:18 AM

Coincidentally going to be in Melbourne that weekend; so while I won't be bringing a bus-load from Canberra there'll probably be a few of us there again

Posted by: kaiser Jul 15 2009, 05:08 PM

Posted by: hektikk Jul 15 2009, 05:40 PM

hey, try no


cod4 comp again and this time try to increase the prize money

also please NEVER interrupt a grand final with stupid announcements which only annoy us who are playing, thanks!!

Posted by: Tank Jul 15 2009, 10:40 PM

Hi! do you know which announcement this was?

-Tank

Posted by: SirSquidness Jul 15 2009, 11:07 PM

Played in a clan? Maybe.

Never ever played before? I find that really hard to believe.

Posted by: fletchdawg Jul 15 2009, 11:24 PM

do not do cod5 the game is terrible and no one plays it on the scale CoD4 gets played just stick with cod4 ;d

ps need more insane energy drinks you guys ran out ;(

Posted by: Tank Jul 15 2009, 11:46 PM

ahah i KNOW we ran out! it was like me standing in the shop going "hmm should we buy this? will it sell? what the heck, i'll grab one case of each flavour" same with mother. holy shit it sold fast!

we will be getting more next time

Posted by: Dyno Jul 16 2009, 05:42 PM

mother to go down to $2.50 and you will sell a truck load rofl.. $3 is still win

Posted by: Tank Jul 16 2009, 10:10 PM

I put mother at $3 becuase it was what the other energy drinks were at. Also i know it to be cheaper than at servo's, and about the same as coles. (i dislike selling things at odd number.. $2.80 etc)

is $3 ok? ditto for redbull and V i guess....

should i buy redbull & V again guys? let me know your opinions they help greatly!

oh, was snacks and things also ok? also i hear the BBQ was liked? also yum! pancakes

-Tank

Posted by: Dyno Jul 16 2009, 10:50 PM

imo, you can have a 500ml mother for $3 or a 250ml V or Red bull for $3. .. i know which im going to get

Posted by: Tank Jul 16 2009, 11:00 PM

yea, i know.

it's cause v/redbull are about 1/3rd more expensive to buy than mother. i'll check prices and might re-adjust.

how would mother @ $3 and v/redbull @ $2.50 sound? (muchly so depends on the cost )

Posted by: ohcool Jul 16 2009, 11:25 PM

Campbells Cash and Carry are selling slabs of Mother for $43

Posted by: SirSquidness Jul 17 2009, 01:39 AM

Dudette, you have no idea how awesome it was waking up to the BBQ being cooked. The snacks etc were brilliant.

<3

I would also suggest perhaps instead of the bottles of juices, buying a few 2L bottles of good stuff and selling cups of it. Like, the really good black label orange juice, pinapple juice etc - would be much cheaper to buy I reckon? I might be wrong though.

Posted by: Tank Jul 17 2009, 12:07 PM

yea more expensive. plus messier! :<

bottles are quite cheap tbqh! (which is why they are sold so cheap. cost is about sale price (y'know, give or take some centseseses ditto again the pain of leaing with things at non 50c multiples!)


I am wondering if we bought cup noodles? and sold people the cup noodle, then the filled from the urn themselves? noodles anyone? lol.

Posted by: Lawn Jul 17 2009, 01:07 PM

DO IT! DO IT NAO!

Posted by: SirSquidness Jul 18 2009, 12:30 PM

I personally don't think I'd have the noodles in a cup, but I think Lawn raises a very good point

Posted by: fletchdawg Jul 19 2009, 03:12 AM

a small pissy can of red bull & v for $3 is pretty gay thats why i bought the insane energy drinks



ps: cup noodles are sick

Posted by: hektikk Jul 19 2009, 03:14 AM

it was those retarded videos that were played, it was that rickrolled one and some other stupid video.

would of like it if you guys respected that we were playing a grand final and dont play stuff that will interrupt our match

Posted by: Tank Jul 19 2009, 09:51 AM

Ah yes, i remember now. My only explanation is that the people/person who put the video's on wasn't aware there was a grand final going on



Also re: energy drinks, mkay, i'll look into prices. it was considered a test, s feed back about things like the prices is very important to us right now

thanks!

Tank,
Please please please get these for V13

They will sell like hotcakes, so you can charge $10 a vial and make a killer profit?

Posted by: neon Jul 19 2009, 12:39 PM

that doesnt look healthy.... concerntrated energy drink....

Last non respawn lan i was at two guys had red bull concerntrate which apparently had about 6 red bulls in it... they had 3 each... its a wonder they are still concious.

Posted by: Tank Jul 19 2009, 01:13 PM

6 mana drinks = $20 USD + $35 USD shipping = $55 us shipping = $68.50 AUD / 6 = $11.50

So we would have to sell them at $11.50 and that's without any profit at all. i would love to know where you are seeing this 'killer profit' ;P

(YES, buy more = cheaper shipping, but it's still a bucketload of money. (5 x 6 packs would be $7 COST per bottle) so even then, for a drink that is equal to ~2 redbulls, it would be MUCH cheaper to buy 2 x mother/insane ($5/$4))

-Tank

(and one of the gophers sometimes gets indonesian red bull which is stronger. i had a can once and it wrecked me :| )

Posted by: Tofuboi Jul 20 2009, 05:06 PM

Who was at the store?! I think we'll definately get more insane energy drink!

Posted by: Tank Jul 20 2009, 05:19 PM

* me and tofu_who_is_so_stupendously_awesome_and_cool were at the store

() : )

Posted by: neon Jul 24 2009, 11:42 AM

Unfortionatly, I cannot go to this event. Family Plans have arisen, so I will hopefully see you all at V14 instead.

Posted by: Harkonnen Jul 24 2009, 12:18 PM

It's all right, we'll just replace him with some CFLs.

Posted by: Harkonnen Aug 11 2009, 02:04 PM

The DC network should be a less clogged with less centralized/more distributed sharing, right?
...right?
