Introduction
We are the official University of Queensland Starcraft Society but anyone who plays/watches Starcraft is welcome to join. Our members range from UQ/QUT/Griffith students to alumni and people already in the work force.
I will keep this thread updated with the events we will host and feel free to post any extra ideas below.

AusCraft2 Down Under Derby

We have been holding a fun tournament every week and so far nakka is in the lead with 3 (I think) wins.
Copied from Kevin Aldridge's post:
[spoiler]Introducing the first UQSS Monthly tournament. Please read the rules (they are pretty straightforward, less obvious/most important ones are at the top) and sign up if this is something you'd be interested in. Deadline is the 30th May.

Likewise for Jake Fortescue.[/spoiler/]

Yes, we need 30 members and of the starting 30, 30% can be from anywhere else. We all plan to meet at UQ between 11 and 12 if you can attend. If not we will work out alternate places where you guys can sign the expression of interest form (we have a few members from QUT so they could take the form there)

EDIT: We are all meeting on Tuesday 15th March (location: http://img852.imageshack.us/img852/4154/meeting.png) between 11am - 12pm. If you can't attend we will find a way to arrange an alternate meeting so you an sign the expression of interest form

[BaKaiNu]

I'll join as well, i guess. :X

Cool! As you can see with my other posts, the meeting is on Tuesday if you can attend. If not its is gonna be on Friday between 13.10 and 14.10. You can also organize another time with me with you still can't attend. You just need to sign the form

[Crankenstein]

Solmyr and I are from UQ and we'll definitely come along. I've been on the executive of the education society for 2 years now so If you guys need help starting up/dealing with the union I might be of assistance.

For starters, whoever told you that you need 30 people to start a society is full of shit. The UQ Sci-fi society started up last semester with 5 people.

[BaKaiNu]

[TriggerSappy]

alright so when exactly is the meeting/s, i might not be able to make it on tuesday at the time you said, but i'll make it my priority over what else i may be doing so that the group can get set up

[FvRScrewby]

The meetings are at:
Tuesday 15th March 11am - 12pm
Friday 18th March 1.10pm - Whenever you can get there
Thanks for putting effort to get there!

[Crankenstein]

Ill be there tomorrow and I'll sign it for Baka

[FvRScrewby]

Hey Crank what was you idea for the website for the Society? Something about a forum, if you want to create that and ill just post it on the thread at TL so they know

[Crankenstein]

Well I thought this place had subforums for the clans. I remember seeing something about that in the margin on the left side of the page but it doesn't appear to be there now. Perhaps it was removed with the latest site changes (or perhaps i'm just a noob and can't find it).

Also, It was awesome meeting all you guys today. This is going to be epic ^__^
