Speedcubing in Melbourne

[Tim Major]

I might come Thursday, depends.

And if it's on the 25th, don't you need to announce it by tomorrow?

Nope, it "should" be announced a month prior.
Anyway he kind of just did announce it. The reason that rule is in place is so people don't make private unannounced competitions, as it is unfair (apparently).

Anyway I like the format. Only thing I'd change is Magic and Master Magic to 3BLD. Most of the people who like magic (ie: 10 year olds) don't help out, but people like Zane, Jason, etc. who like BLD do. I think events should be chosen based on helpers' preferences, as we need to encourage more people to help.

Yes please

Should be able to come to this one, unless something ridiculous comes up between now and the 25th

Announced officially on the WCA website. And I don't understand "(apparently)", because having private unannounced competitions is unfair.

"kind of announced".
He told a reasonable amount of the community, and word will spread. Now people know and can plan around it.
And in hindsight I realise it was stupid of me to say apparently.

Josh is 18. He has every right to call us kids.

The reason behind me posting it on the forums is to inform people who don't go on speedcubing.com.au all the time. Also as Tim said i'm making people aware to keep that date open as there will be a comp in a month and if you don't turn up to meet ups how will you know. I have every right to call you kids because most of you are younger than me anyway.

Also v-cube came out with there new cube. Its just like the V2. There is a non-pillowed and a pillowed 3x3 from v-cube. I personally think that this was a bad move as Dayan has already stolen the market for 3x3. They should fix there 5 to 7 range.

What time are people getting to the city on thursday??

 

[Tim Major]

I'm sick of my house, I'll be there at 11.

 

[rubiksarlen]

@ Josh: People who already have 5-7 V-cubes would most probably be getting the new V3 cos they would want it for collection.

 

[bryson azzopard]

[JasonK]

I'll probably be around tomorrow from 12ish. Where's the new meetup spot? (assuming you're using the same one as the last meet)

EDIT: Never mind, won't be coming. Somehow didn't realise it was Australia day...

 

[Zane_C]

I'll come.

 

[andyzhangdayu]

I'll be there.

 

[SoLarisAU]

Heading there now cause i can't sleep

 

[Dene]

Oh cool, I'll come as soon as I'm ready then. Be there in about an hour or so.

 

[Florian]

Just came back from Tasmania i didn't had internet acces for the last 7 days and only on 2 days i had mobile coverage - that tortured me

and i didn't had a cube

That was the best part of the meetup



Um... that was edited?

It was just the scenes put together i don't think that's editing
