    If you have played in AMK, when there is like 5 players... it take like eternity to play as most people, me included, will challenge 2-3 time before getting up.

    That's one thing that reeeeaallllyy bugs me about the arcade culture in Singapore. People refusing to get up and give someone else a go! What's with that?

    If you lose, you get up and give others who are waiting a chance to play. It's only common courtesy (at least where I'm from), but I remember countless times in Singapore when I had to actually ask if I could play because I got sick of waiting.

    Anyway, just had to vent, and none of this is directed at anyone in particular (I've never met you all anyway) /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

    So I guess the plan for now, at least, is to meet at Bugis on Sunday afternoon, and then possibly go somewhere else?

    I don't think we should all go to the 5 square place. Unless you really like waiting in line. /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

    Let's finalize this can? We all meet at Bugis on Sunday and then we can decide where to go after that. Is it fine with the rest?

    Why don't we go parklane. Threes squares and two machines is just perfect.

    Well, it depends... some players are just sore losers... some just have too much $$$ to spend.... some just keep trying in order to figure out how to break the opponent's "pattern" of play..... depends I guess...

    Okay, how about this ? We meet in Bugis, and appoint Alan as our liaison ? /versus/images/icons/tongue.gif (Sorry Alan...) Since I believe most of the players have an idea or have met him at a point or the other. The rest of us can just "invite" the rest of the people we know along, and proceed to bounce each other into oblivion at Parklane ? Alternatively, we can just move on straight to Parklane and wait ?

    What do you guys think ?

    I don't mind but I think I only have kiat's and danny's numbers, I think.

    Okay so maybe we meet on Sunday at 2pm at bugis? or is it too early/late /versus/images/icons/smile.gif

    Then we go parklane. I have NEVER been to parlane arcade recently so I may need directions.

    Does myke know where to find the arcade at bugis? It is in the basement. basically you go down the escalator in front of MOS burger.

    regarding the refusing to get up issue, I think it is okay to challenge 2-3 times as I have said, you need around one game to warm up. anything more than 4 is probably a waste of everyone's time.

    PS: off topic BUT kinokuniya just called me and said they cannot bring in the blue book!!!! I need someone to get a book. Is anyone in singapore getting it?

    I'm pretty sure I remember where the arcade is at Bugis. OK, 3pm sounds alright with me, but I'll call you guys if there's a change in my plan.

    I really don't want to play too much at Bugis though, considering it's only set at 2 squares(!!!)

    Re: Grandlink Sq

    anyway, this afternoon b4 andrew n i went down to amk (btw sorry we missed u alan), he went to Grandlink 1st to play. It is TWO tokens ($1) per game, but he said one full game (to Dural ==> complete) can last up to 50 minutes!!!! WHOA!!!! So the Grandlink Sq machine is grrrreat for those who have no PS2 (read: people like ME! The poor people! /versus/images/icons/wink.gif) & wish to practice. Plus, the CPU @ Grandlink is set to most difficult, according to Andrew. So, for single player vs CPU, Grandlink is the place to go I think.

    Can't play vs. there anyway, cos Andrew says one of the joysticks is loose. /versus/images/icons/frown.gif
