The Gaming Grove - Closed!

[Mairmalade]

Hey @Mairmalade
will I still be eligible for tickets if I am directly speculating in-game(I know this session isn't being streamed) and have screenshot proof of doing so?
I was a single minute late to join the race and it's already packed
unless a spot frees up in the race then I don't think I can join today and this was the only other session I could go to this week for my two sessions worth of a submission for tickets and I don't have discord to speculate any streamed sessions so then I only have one session this week to submit

I see you made it in fine, so we're good!

Is it too late to join MK for the session happening now? I don't think I can join Saturday.

A bit late to this, but it's not too late! You're welcome to join still!

I see from @Mairmalade's response that you did eventually get into the game. However, I just want to clarify that spectating an unstreamed session in-game does not earn tickets.

I completely forgot about tonight's Mario Kart!

Will there not be any more streamed sessions? I wasn't able to watch on the 28th, although I did see SMS the day prior. I didn't realise that there are only 3 streams for this week.

There may be one or two sessions added for this weekend, but this is not set in stone and I wouldn't recommend that anyone rely on them happening. Spectating is not intended to be a replacement for participating in the gaming sessions; the only reason we are offering tickets for spectating is because we knew that our personal schedules were going to be too busy to realistically host enough sessions to support everyone this year. (Actually, this event almost didn't happen this year for this very reason!)

If there are any sessions added for this weekend then they will be announced sometime Friday morn/afternoon FT. In the event that does not happen, then I would encourage that anyone still looking to complete the requirements for this event to participate in @Mairmalade's sessions hosted on Saturday. Details are below:

Game​	Session​	Host​
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe	Saturday, September 3rd 2022 @ 1:00 PM FT	Mairmalade (mar)
Kirby's Dream Buffet	Saturday, September 3rd 2022 @ 3:00 PM FT	Mairmalade (mar)

Who’s ready to kick my @$$ at mk8 on sat???

 

[Mars Adept]

I slept through the Dream Buffet session that happened when the event first started, so I might try to join the one that’s happening tomorrow!

 

[Shellzilla_515]

I spectated in two sessions last week, but I want to let you guys know that my discord username (Green Turtle Shell) is different from the one on here. Should I specify that in my submissions thread?

Edit: Here's the post that I'm talking about.

Are these for people who are still looking for sessions? Or can you still join these for fun?
I already completed my two weeks worth of tickets and got the maximum amount of tickets from the Gaming Grove so does this mean I can't join?
because all the MK8D sessions have a really great time for me and I'd like to play for fun if there's plenty of room so I'm not hogging slots for people

yassss will finally be able to cash in on those round two spectator points
