All the more reason for players to collect an organised set of points, and hand them over in a good looking, printed document. Seriously, that will impress them.
Also there is a lot of pressure on the Dallas crew to include other people in the community into the contact process with Team Ninja - Sorwah, have you asked if there will be a player dinner or something like that you could attend?
I share Gill Hustle's optimism about it, that at least a variety of views and types of DOA player will be present.
Good suggestion on written points.
We don't feel any special "pressure" other than to run a well organized event. We've already contributed to making sure that FSD and "other people" are in the "contact process". I've personally pitched the idea to them of the value of supporting tournaments and competitions which I see that PL plugged here as well.
They've taken a BIG step for the new merged company by coming to Dallas and throwing in real support.
Although we've gotten decent support from Tecmo for several years in terms of prizes, this is more than was ever offered for prize and cash support before.
For the record (given some of the drama passed around) DoaCentral, DFWGames and NVGA are passing it ALL through to the players and fans of DoA and Koei-Tecmo, no administrative fees or house cut is involved here.
It's up to fans and players to demonstrate to the company that this makes sense for them as an investment.
I honestly expect nothing more at Dallas than Team NINJA being put on stage to say hi to everyone, and a quick Q&A about who was the person who shot the woman in the head at the end of DOA4 and such. Even though I will attempt to try, I don't expect them to be willing to have a sit-down interview with FreeStepDodge.
I believe Team Ninja will be hanging around most of the day other than a few scheduled events, so there is a PLENTY of time to interact with them and set things up. A lunch or dinner would be nice, though, lets see what they say.
