Melee isn't even that fucking good. Not good enough to be such an asshole over. Hell, no game is worth being an asshole over.

Except the original Mario Galaxy...

Oh. So you're saying that every time you plan an event at a hotel, you should check that it hasn't broken any fire code regulations and that the elevators have all been inspected recently and that it meets all earthquake building codes and that all their employees have had recent drug tests and have no criminal record and...would you like me to go on? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? Do you?


yes you should check if the building is safe, thats not much work and its your event and you get people in danger if the place you host your event at isnt safe. we do it every time if we host a university event outside our buildings, even if we have a good working relationship with the place we host at. (and if we host bigger events we have the tüv checking if the event has a zero co² footprint). thats NORMAL,not booking the cheapest possible place from craigslist...

You are being serious about this, right?

Like... Really, you're serious...

I...

Nah. You're not worth arguing this over with.

Like it or not, health and safety is something that's difficult to get away from. It gets taken to extremes, but in this culture of making lawsuits over the slightest thing, everything has to be covered. Having said that, fire risk has to be taken seriously.

(Edit:) - If the reports I read are accurate, the venue did not have permits to host more than 500 people and all the extra electrical equipment, part of its car park had collapsed due to storms, and so the local fire marshals (who arrived because someone triggered a fire alarm by opening an armed door) declared the whole thing a fire hazard. This stuff should have been checked out beforehand.

What I don't like is how nintendo actually actively went out of their way to try and appeal to the melee crowd with their new game (speeding it up, adding more weight, bringing back Dr. Mario and Mewtwo) and they aren't open to it yet...

Maybe the metagame will develop for smash bros wii u over time and melee fans will become more open to it...

But he's right.

According to reports, the venue didn't have a permit to host that number of people. They didn't have a permit for all the extra electrical equipment. When this was discovered, the local fire marshals closed the whole thing down as it was deemed a fire hazard. These are safety things that should have been checked and dealt with before the event began. On top of that, there'd been damage to the building due to recent storms.

How is that funny?

Nah. You're not worth arguing this over with.

im pretty sure hosting a event without a safetycheck is against the law.
