View Full Version : Fucapo UK...What do you want at XL6?

Hey,
Just thought I should post on here to get an idea of what you guys would like to see at XL6. Fucapo UK had a stand at XL5, it was a bit boring to say the least. We want to bring something a little more fun to the next one. We were thinking a couple pool tables or some arcade games, haven’t decided yet though.
We wanted your input before we made a decision, so feel free to post any ideas you have, treat it as unlimited budget and unlimited space (within reason).
Anything Goes!!

pool table will be awsome, arcade games should be there anyway KON get on the phone, get a time crisis machine , silent scope, 8 daytona machines a few bandits and they will pay for them self's.
but yeah, get a pool table now, you cant not get one.

Pool tournament. :D
Arcade machine - highest top score over the course of the weekend gets a free years supply of Fucapo (or something).

Ok,
So far lets add a couple Pool Tables, I've liked the idea of having them for a while now, gives me something to do while Jess is walking around pretending she knows about games :D, maybe get a few tournaments going, should be a laugh while you wait to play, maybe some killer if anyone's played that?
I know Kon might be planning arcade games anyway, if no one comes up with a better idea we might have to steal his!

I'll use this thread to confirm at least 2 pool tables at XL6!
Any other suggestions?

I think some classic arcade games like Daytona and Time Crysis that have already been suggested would be great fun along with things like the Air Hokey tables and the Punch machines were you test how hard your punch is. I think anything that people can do together and doesn't take more than 5 minutes to complete would work well.

I do like the idea of a showing scores and stuff, not sure how that all works with the venue though, will have to find out.
No way am i getting a dance machine, never get jess off it.
But i think we can put arcade games down on the list, i dont know any names lol but im thinking time crisis (high scores recorded) and a 4 way racing sim (lap times recorded), sure we can throw some prizes in. same with pool, i would love to have some sort of pool tournament. even if its just something like "Highest Break" if its too hard to arrange 1v1 or doubles.
Leaving us with the third, 2 pool tables and a couple arcade games, not sure how many yet or what ones. Still need a third idea.......
(Minx, Jess would beat you on a dance machine:p)

I was thinking of something like a roulette table or black jack table (or both), not for money but give free chips away to people who buy fucapo (or voucher for so many chips on entry), person with the most at end of weekend gets a prize, but not sure how the gambling laws apply to something like that though (especially with under 18's)

That is a f**king awesome idea. I'm going to look into that!
Something like that will take a bit more planning, in regards to chip count, staff running the tables. at the moment i have two girls and me, with something like that i will need atleast two more.
hmm......one to look into. cant confirm anything like that yet though obv

If she can do it on Extreame (the hardest difficultly) and get 100% AAA full combo then she wouldnt beat me Austin we would just draw!!

Oh btw nice to see all the ideas are aimed at men btw!!!
Austin Fucapo UK
08-10-2008, 10:30 AM
That did make me laugh, and all the ideas are aimed at men cos like 98% of the people going are male. If you can drag atleast 100 girls there then things would be different. But Sadly i doubt you can. Which is a shame as that would spice things up a bit.
Im not going to get a dance machine just for you and jess to fight it out on. no no.

ur being sexist dont you think, tbh dont care if you get a dance machine.
obv more men are at xl then women but doesnt mean you cant open your eyes to the bigger picture there are a few women who go to xl and im sure you can find somet we all can enjoy!! lol i could get into a big debate with you about girl gamers and why most dont attend xl but tbh cba!
Drag wtf lol you drag 100 women to xl!! pmsl

Pool Tables is a cool idea. Maybe a foosball table as well.
I'd like to see some proper Racing Sim arcade machines up. Or even get a few 360's with GRID and steering wheels on the go. Not really got many ideas for now. I'll report back when I've brain stormed.

If the new bond game is out. Then simple. You get some chips when you buy fucapo. you gamble them. At the end of the day, gamer with most chips win a copy of the new bond game(if its out by then). I didnt mean the idea to be sexest, Bond girls are a mayor part of the films fransize. Its fun and gives you a chance to sell more product. If you had a bloke in gold shorts and bow tie minx would like that..lol problem is events are a male domain, yes it would be sweet if more woman attended events(and i know reason why many dont). Its just a bit of fun at the end of the day. Plus away to sell fucapo.

Now Now..... back when i played i supported girl gaming
Im not against girls going to XL, completely the opposite, but from a business point of view i would rather aim at 98% of the people there, not 2%.......simple maths.
im anything but sexist when it comes to gaming, and why are pool tables, arcade games, and a roulette table sexist. do they fence off girls?......NO! lol

in regards to a tv if i can ill throw that in aswell

The only thing about roulette is if you use real money then you need a licence and it'll put the age up to 18 for XL on the other hand their aint no point doing it if you aint using money.
just seen Tempus's post, it could be done.

Yeah. I doubt a match of that profile will be on BBC or ITV on a weekend. Worst comes to worst, Freeview with Sky Sports News. I believe that'd be possibility. Then we can get regular updates on scores for those interested.
KONSPIRACY
10-10-2008, 12:24 AM
Pretty sure there are internet streams available online that would cover it the game but from my experience they are not particularly high quality. I have a spare freeview box available...how we would get a decent tv signal on a crappy aerial is another question.
Mellow
10-10-2008, 01:36 AM
You need a reasonable signal to pick up Freeview so I'm not too sure how it'd be done. Could stream the game but much like you, I've had similar bad experiences with streaming matches. I don't see the point in people gathering around a projector to get a vague idea of what's going on in a match.
Austin Fucapo UK
10-10-2008, 08:50 AM
At the end of the day football is on between 3pm and 5pm saturday, 4pm and 6pm sunday. (pretty much)
So what else is on over the weekend that we can get using freeview which seems to be our only option? im going to take a wild guess and say........not much.
If people want to know football scores the best way to do it would be to get them of the internet and get the radio guys to announce the scores. if there is a tv with freeview then it will be left with some very random stuff on it, for some reason i have an image in my head of people watching Eastenders.
I think it would look out of place..........
xI Reverend Ix
10-10-2008, 09:15 AM
you could hook a laptop upto a big HDTV and put live scores on that, i think thats the only way your gonna get live scores for free. Laptop would be too small so if you got like a 42 - 48" HDTV then that would work great. they do it in my local sometimes.
for freeview you need a wideband arial so no normal crappy one will even pick up anything on freeview. also if the tv thing is gunna be an issue get a bloody radio with the footy on it, get a fooseball table and make an area for the lads to listen to the footy and pee about on fooseball you can even run a mini tourny on fooseball to make it more interesting!!!
also seen someone ask bout a casino bit at xl lol need to be careful on the gambling rules on that side of things would only be good if you were playing for chips and using chips to trade for anything other than cash.
killer on pool is a good idea.
Austin whats you thoughts on what you are gunna give away for mini tournys?? you need some hot prizes to get things swinging at XL the radio guys are bringing goodie bags to XL with games, hdd and contollers to give away so you need to stand out from the crowd and have something appealing for people to win and something that is somehow themed in someway to XL. games, ms points, xbl membership etc etc etc you catch my drift :) hope this has helped.

Personally i think the footie and sofa area sounds good, purely because gaming gets exhausting over at period of time and to just chill out on a sofa and watch a bit of footie would be quite relaxing.

Im ok with everything but the TV, thats one for Kon i think.
The arcade games and pool tables will be coin operated, but we will have the keys so something can be arranged. pay to play, but if you want to play in some sort of comp then you would get your money straight back on that occasion.
Minx......is blue energy not good enough then? lol, i could give jess away for a night... hmmmm? maybe not lol. ill see what i can do in the way pf prizes, the new fucapo product will be launched at XL6 and that will be given out free.
We do want to do something quite cool at XL6, me and jess will be doing a video diary of our time from when we leave devon to when we get home, it will all be recorded......EVERYTHING!, it will provide some laughs, trust

arcade games should be there for the hell of it, something to do while people wait, and you should charge, not too much tho. but to keep costs down. and a few quid on a race on daytona is well worth it.
