NorwayYou might have to change the "Compare against" from Real Time to Game Time, if you haven't done that already.
Of course, though ultimately I'm hoping that won't be necessary. Either way, I'd like to know it when/if that happens.
Zephyyrr: I will consider it, and probably make a decision once we get there. I'm do not think that the corridor is going to be used much, so I wouldn't really worry too much about it. Either way, I'll have my little helpers make sure it doesn't happen.
CC: Possibly. It's something that will be up for discussion. I think it'll be good to have a mix, but maybe a 70/30 split between the halls for each type of TV/Monitor. The table gaps will probably be closed, but I'd prefer it if they weren't. The tables are pretty big, 180x70cm, so I don't think it'll be an issue.
Yeah, Rock Band is something I've yet to decide on where to put. The small conference room with fit well for it, definitely.
As for Mafia, I've talked briefly with some of the guys about it, and they've basicly said that during the day time, they would most likely prefer to do it outside. While during night time we'll find some place for them. I have some ideas, but it'll probably end up being a "we'll decide once we get there" kind of thing.
We'll have cable trays between tech and stage, so that's no issue. It's on request from the tech crew, that I've placed them where they are.
Yes, the two tables placed in a V shape is where the PC runs will be had.
The area behind the soft walls will be a volunteer only area, mainly for the tech crew, where they can store all of their boxes and whatnot. The wall will also serve to make the room feel somewhat smaller.
MKDD = Mario Kart Double Dash. I was contacted by HiddenPower, asking if I could allocate some space for them to set up MKDD, so that they could do a 16 player LAN thingy. As of now I think it'll be a "free area" with CRTs, but that they'll have priority whenever they decide to organize races.
BYOC are for laptops and stuff yes. I'm fairly sure that the tables will be larger than what they appear on the layout (eventhough the scale is correct), so I'm sure there will be more room at the DH PC areas than what I've allocated.
The right part of Hall B, is mainly a temp setup right now, for the Smash event happening at the start of ESA. The black square is intended as a stage, but I've yet to come in contact with the organizers of the event, so it's still work in progress.
It's been a while since my last update, and I apologize for that, IRL stuff is hard to predict. But I have worked more on the layout, and it's still not completely done, but I think I got the gist of it ready.
Open for feedback, and let me know if there's anything you're missing from the layout. http://imgur.com/a/XzpdW
The facilities will be the same as last year, where there will be a couple of microwaves that I think you'll be able to use.
We'll have food trucks, however, and I'm told that Stars 'n Stripes will be selling affordable meals in the lobby.
If Qlex goes to ESA again this year, I'm sure he'll setup the tetris station. However, I'll investigate the possibility of acquiring one of those, in case he doesn't go.
Here's a little update on some of what we already have ready for the event:
We've acquired a projector (Panasonic PT-DZ6700 DLP) and a 188" projector screen that will be placed in the main hall. The second stream room already has a projector and screen in it.
We have ordered 500 chairs on top of the 200 already in the building, so there won't be a neverending chair hunt this year.
The LED panels will be utilized in some fashion, the big one will probably have the schedule and a clock.
And finally, we'll have (atleast) 9 arcade cabinets.
Hall B was barely used last year, since there wasn't any tables set up, plus the lack of chairs. It will be way better utilized this year, and it'll have more tables/TVs than Hall A. And yes, I'm planning on dividing Hall B.
Hall B should be good for Mafia, yeah.
By chill room upstairs, I assume you mean the kitchen? If so, we're thinking about having the second stream in there, but I'll try to make the layout so that you can use the counters there without being in the way of anything/anyone.
I believe someone is looking into using the big pixelated screen, so we'll see what happens there.
I don't think there will be streaming equipment in Hall B, but there's nothing wrong with people bringing their own stuff, to run side-streams.
As most of you know, I'll be setting up the floor layout for future ESA events, and I want it to be as accommodating to everyone as I can make it.
We'll be returning to Fortnox Arena again this year, and we'll have access to the same areas as last year. Both streams will be in Hall A, while Hall B will mainly be for casual gaming, fighting games and board games.

So, I want your input! I want your ideas, suggestions, wishes and/or needs for this ESA. Anything goes, and I'll try to make it happen to the best of my ability. If you and your group of friends have your eyes set on a part of the venue, or if you want to have a dedicated area for Mafia, let me know!
I’ll post the drafts as they’re done, and I’ll try to make one draft per month untill ESA comes around.
Feel free to DM me on discord, if that suits you better.
Edit: Here's a link to a very early suggestion for Hall A, let's just call it draft 1: https://gyazo.com/d6d7ab0841e6da90399dfad499a448f2

I'm not submitting that run.
Please refrain from ever writing on this here forum.
Reported to SDA.
Thanks.
To my knowledge, you're free to use whatever audio options you want, without it affecting the game.
However, I do think the game runs a little better on the lower graphical settings.
Announcing the Master 15 #2.
A 15-game race of Sega Master System games on October 9th. See http://master15.btrim.org for the game list and more.
I don't really like the aspect of arbitrary categories, and therefore don't see a need for a leaderboard for them. That said, you are, of course, free to run any category you want.
3l3ktr0, CoI HD will 99% surely never be patched, so the Tree Skip will always be in it. It's just hard to learn at first.
StrawberryMilk: It's better to run the game for a while before learning the skips. There are no major skips that saves loads of time, so just get used to the game, and take it from there. It should be possible to get sub 35 with any of the bigger skips in the game.
