AGD Tech Class at IAO

[Kevmaster]

AGD:

do you know whether you will do a tech class held all day again (as usual) or whether you will be a part of the tech classes TEE is hosting during the week?

I'm trying to plan my vacation and am just wondering when you guys will be teaching, because I'll have to be there.

[Xyxyll]

I was wondering the same thing. I have to know when to drive up to Pennsylvania.

[PsychoBaller]

I talked with AGDJon yesturday and if I remeber correctly, I believe he said they aren't having one this year.

I know... I'm disappointed too... :cry:

[Kevmaster]

do what now?

Jon, do I have to call you....oh...wait...i have to call you anyways...hehe

[Spartan X]

Akk come on, first aka can't get a class now this...dang it. If not I will not even bother with the classes at all.

[edweird]

yeesh the concept of no tech class disturbs me greatly. Especially with emerging frame tech on the horizon.

[Muzikman]

Yeah, but is the Horizon that close? the tech classes were a selling tool for AGD. Tom taught a small group of people the basic theory and then taught them the operation of the new product. That way there was a group of 50 or so people floating around the US that understood how it worked and would show it to people.

[AGDlover]

hmmmmm how old must you be to attend a tech class??

[Dayspring]

Just gotta be able to pay the fee for the class.

But since there isn't one this year, it's a moot point.

[AGDlover]

ok i got off the phone with Jon at AGD and he says you have to be invited

[Dayspring]

Wrong kind of tech class. He probably thought you were talking about the "Super Tech" classes. Those are Invite Only.

The IAO one is different.

[AGDlover]

ok and how much would a tech class cost???

[lord1234]

last year it was 75...and worth every penny

just the "hang out with TK" opportunity was worth it...

i am bummed no tech class this year...will yall at least be therE?

[team unwanted]

when is IAO?

[Kevmaster]

July 20-25 in Pittsburgh, PA.

yeh, they "MASTER TECH" classes are invite only. the one at iao was $75 for anyone who wanted all ady instruction from TK. I loved them...

say it ain't so AGD!

[PsychoBaller]

it aint so AGD... :dance:

sorry, i couldn't resist

-baller

[AGDlover]

when ever the next tech class is i'm there

[cphilip]

I am pulling at Toms eye tooth about one at SE AO day.....

[Dayspring]

Just doin' "The Oring Talk" will be enough to fry most people's brains. :)

Tom will ask you a question. You will answer it (thinking you're correct) and he'll look at you going "Are you sure?"

At that point, you question every decision you've made since childhood... :tard:

[AGD]

How many guys would want a tech class at IAO this year? Tell me if your FOR SURE or thinking about it.

AGD

[PsychoBaller]

Depending on what day o the week its on during IAO, I will most definately want to attend, Wednesday perhaps?

Or I could just use a certain Hotel Placemat from last years IAO to give others the Oring Talk... Muuhuuhahaha (yes TK, i still have it, gots to get it bronzed or frozen in carbonite to uphold its integrity).

[lord1234]

say its on wednesday and i am down!

[Creative Mayhem]

I'm SOOOO there... provided it's Wed ;)

Thursday AFTICA is representin' AO in the OG division, we can't miss that day of utter domination now can we? :D

[tremis]

Count me in for sure. I wouldnt miss it.

Garry

[Gecko]

me magmonkey and possibly a third

[edweird]

im always game for this kind of deal... if its just a basic one im cool with that also.

/sigh I guess no hAir mini beta then :(

/wallet close

[Dayspring]

Remember- the 7 man competition was moved to the BEGINNING of the week, so Wed might kill the # of people able to attend.

I'm there (schedule permitting).

[magman007]

Count me in Schedualling provided as well! last years class rocked, and im sure this year will be just as cool. Also, what other classes are being offered that Team Effort Events is getting together?

[lord1234]

personally...i would want to know what the tech class would be about? while the opportunity to hang with tom would be AWESOME, what would you be teaching? woudl we be learning about the hair trigger? or maybe have miscue teach a section about board programming?

[Riot[Z-Grip]]

I would love a tech class again this year, last year was a blast! Maybe a 2 part at-night thing after games end for the day? That would be ideal for people like me who changed their hotel reservations when they heard that there wasn't going to be a tech class this year ;) That way attendees won't have to tack an extra day onto their time at IAO, won't need to miss any of the events at the field, and can still make it to the class.. Either way, I'm 99% there no matter what!

-Riot

[Deivirus]

Yes, Tom please I need it badly, I need to learn more in order to earn more money :bounce:

[Mole1119]

I would be very interested if it was on Fri or Sat

[Kevmaster]

i think tuesday would be the best day as it has been...

but considering im making my travel plans around the tech class...you can count on seeing my face there :)

[hardr0ck68]

if there is a tech class i will be there...i can always use more paintball knowledge

[Muzikman]

I'm there, Tuesday would be best, but Wedsday would work too, just might have to skip out early.

As for topics covered. I honestly think fundamentals is needed. I don't think it should be about any one product.

[lord1234]

tuesday would = one extra day of stay and i already scheduled myself off from wednesday on....

[Dayspring]

"Wednesday on" will limit the attendance due to actual game play.

[oldsoldier]

LEts do it. I am in on the tech class 100%

[Creative Mayhem]

"Wednesday on" will limit the attendance due to actual game play.

I think i agree, and i need to change my Wed to Tues. Tech Class on TUESDAY!!!

[Kevmaster]

ADBT....Any Day But Thursday. Thursday you won't get 10-15 AO guys because they'll be doing Owners Gorup Division...lets not punish us OGD guys

[AzrealDarkmoonZ]

Depending on the day I would like to attend.

AGD

AGD tech class was actually one of the main reasons I'm planning on going to IAO this year. :) If you do plan on having one... I sure hope it is at the earliest Wednesday morning, because that's how I have my schedule rearranged atm.

Regardless... I can't wait for the IAO. :D

Edit:
Also Tom, what are AGD's plans for the IAO scenario game? Anything special?

[Top Secret]

I'd go if there is going to be another one. Had a great time last year.

[spantol]

I'd definitely attend if it were Wednesday or later.

[PsychoBaller]

AGD... where are yyyooooouuuuuu!!!

[Weltman]

I would go should it occur. I can't stay for the weekend for it conflicts this year with the Monster Game.
