[Announce-gamesoc] GamesSoc this week: Videogame Debate, AGM, Smash Bros 2on2 tournament and Mezz Night 2 with Call of Duty 4 tournament!

by DCU Games Soc

Hi guys, Here's what's happening this week: - Video Game Violence Debate with Debate Soc - Games Soc AGM - Smash Bros 2on2 tournament - Mezz Night 2, with a Call of Duty 4 tournament - Video Game Violence Debate - This Tuesday at 7.30pm in QG13 we'll be doing our first ever event with the DCU Debate Society. The motion is "That this house would ban violent video games". It should be pretty interesting, plus there will be free wine too! - AGM - The Games Soc AGM takes place at 3pm this Wednesday in the Seminar room. This is where the members get to decide who runs Games Soc next year, as every position on the committee is up for grabs. The full list of committee positions is as follows: Chairperson Secretary Treasurer Public Relations Officer (PRO) PC Events Officer Console Events Officer Traditional Gaming Officer Trips Officer Webmaster Even if you're not interested in running for a position, please come along to the AGM and have your say in deciding the future of Games Soc. - Smash Bros 2on2 tournament - After we finish the AGM, we'll be running a Smash Bros 2on2 tournament in the Seminar Room. Smash Bros has always been one of the most popular games at console gaming and this tournament has been requested by quite a few members, so it promises to be a great event. We'll have prizes for the winners and there'll be some other games consoles running too for those of you not interested in taking part in the tournament. - Mezz Night 2 + COD4 tournament - After the success of the last night we had in the Mezz, we've decided to run another one this week! This time entry will be completely FREE for all members. We'll be in the Mezz from 6pm this Thursday until late, with full access to all the Xbox 360s and Steam games like CS and TF2 on the Macs, plus loads of our own consoles too. As we've received a huge load of requests from members for a Call of Duty 4 tournament, we've decided that we'll be running one as part of the event this Thursday, as the Mezz has the perfect setup for an Xbox tournament. As Games Soc doesn't have COD4 on Xbox and neither does the Mezz, we'll need you guys to bring in copies of the game in order to run the tournament. So spread the word and help us run the tournament this Thursday! Entry for the tournament will be 2 euro per person, but anyone who brings in a copy of the game gets to take part for free :) So, we have quite a lot of events happening, hope to see you guys during the week! -- DCU Games Society http://games.dcu.ie
