Cyborg Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Yea, sad but true...not many dedicated gamers exists in Guwahati, but thankfully it has an IIT and we have visited the instt and distributed poster and informed all the hostels and put up details of our event there. Therefore, we hope to get a decent crowd. We have also given newspaper ads, which seemed to be a very risky option but we have gone ahead with it. Let's hope it pays off. Anyways, glad you appreciate our effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Paid around Rs 8000 for two ads! If participants don't show up and register coz of the ads, then the money gets wasted. I could have bought a PS2 plus a lots of cool games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, we have got to try. That's the only way forward for promoting video games in Guwahati. I am sure there are a lot of casual gamers present in our city converting them into hardcore gamers is the challenge that we face. I hope this tournament helps promoting gaming in general in Ghy and lots of people start taking an interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 @Athek - Very true indeed! We need to convert people into gamers not only from a particualr city but from all across the nation! @Keeznah - Yea, cool game but we have got only 28 entries for the tournament till now! We need at least 30 to proceed with it. Hope two more will do on spot registration tommorow. Gamers in ghy live, breathe and eat everything tht's CS nothing else! @ghb-Yea, they are having some exams and that's definitely going to affect our Tournament. @MT- Tht's mia the official guide for you throughout NFS MW single player career mode! She looks even hott er in game! @DeathStryke - Nah man! She's the one who tell you and helps you in racing other guys in MW and she's also responsible for saving you from the cops in the final scene!
