Caribbean Video X-Games 2006

[vxg_gizmo]

The Video X-Games (VxG) is a yearly Video Game competition held on the Island of St. Maarten. The competition attracts over 100 local players on the island and many more international competitors from other Islands such as Puerto Rico, Jamaica, St. Kitts, The U.S Virgin Islands and also from other countries, including The Netherlands, Guyana, Colombia and Mexico. This year, VXG is looking to grow to 300 participants by making special packages for those travelling from aborad to be a part of this super event.

The competition basically runs 15 - 20 games in several genres and only the most poluar and competitive games are a part of the major tournament. There are also extra games run, team competiton, and new to this year, the conveted Caribbean VXG Championship. Prizes are expected to be better than ever! Cash prizes of up to $1000.00 (US$), video game systems, airline flights, other techonlogical gadgets such as ipods and much more can be won at this competition. Of course, the main prize is the bargging rights of supremacy in your game in the as crowned by VxG, the coveted "Blue-Roo" Troophy - a trophy many have started to call the "Oscar" or "Golden Globe" of caribbean video games. We also send our winners to other islands and around the world, such as Jehiel Alexander, who after winning our Halo championship was sent to france and became their national champion, then followed on to be the Halo 2 Champion of Europe earlier this year.

There will also be several expos slated, such as visits from video game companies, the The Tech - Museum of Technology and others. We are also hoping to invite the cast and crew of Bang the Machine to this tournament, the reality TV show in the USA that tells the story of old school gamers trying to re-own their skills.

The weekend event is slated for Mid July, whcih allows you to take advantage of Off-Season Rates and the popular Summerfest concerts on St. Maarten. This is a good chance for gamers to not only meet the gamers from the Caribbean and compete for the championship, but also to enjoya nice vacation in St. Maarten. Snce we have the backing of sevral airlines, hotels and even the Government of St. Maarten, we will be designing very affordable package options to meet your needs if you choose to participate.

One accomodation idea we have is the buddy system, where we will pair off as many of you with a buddy from St. Maarten who can be your host for the week(end). For those of you that want to stay in a hotel, we will make sure have the best hotel accomodation you can get within whatever budget you present to us.

We want to be able to have things set way in advanced, so that we can give you much time to plan for your trip next summer to St. Maarten.

Peace out guys, and good gaming!

[jin11]

Yeah whatever f@#king game you wanna play me in ... sc or tekken doesn't make a difference...

it'll be the same results anyways so .. lol

[vxg_gizmo]

Lol boy how you mashing up my boy jin so man? Lol... this gonna be interesting... matter of fact, i think we gonna do this.
 
I want the best trinidadian tekken player to come to St. Maarten in December as a delegate in our medal play. I not sure exactly what i can arrange, but i sure houseing, trans and food not gonna be any cost to him, but i gonna have to work a deal with bwia...

Please get me an email address for bryanmaster...

On the other note:
WE speak english fluent here, its most of us native language, but we learn dutch in school, spanish from the ladies and papiamentu from the old people.
The women here are pretty good, but after what i see in trinidad, i'n going lie, we now ranking like 4th or so in the caribbean i would say. To me, its trinidad, puerto rico, dominican republic then SM. But the cheeses here nice man... check our pics section of the webiste to see some: www.vxg2k6.com and go to the 2004 pictures link.

The best email to get me at is info@vxg2k6.com. Ask bryanmaster to email me so we can talk.

[New Era Outlaw]

This is rather amusing.

[TriniXaeno]

well said crixx! well said.

vxg,

if you are willing to handle transportation costs I am sure BryanMaster will be happy to conduct your best players at the tournament.

I can call him if you're serious about the offer.

[jin11]

I'm sure vxg can get Bryan Master very good housing and transportation. All Bryan gotta do is get the ticket here...

Lets see what all dis hype about... heh >_>

[Kaizen]

i cant predict the future or anything but
cough cough own cough cough age cough cough XD

[jin11]

yeah that's right, and I'm going to be the one doing it. 

=)

[TriniXaeno]

Organise transportation from Trinidad to St.Maarten for him I meant.

a plane ticket. That will be a considerable hurdle.

If you get that organised, it would be great.

[Kaizen]

O_o...can i get one to?! 
anyhow yall under wcg?

[Crixx_Creww]

i doh truss dat at all

we send bryan in by himself

to sleep in accomodations they set up and to eat food dey cook.

We get back bryan playin pacman instead of tekken and cah even hole a ps control no more...

[vxg_gizmo]

Hey baego... boy you asking for a lot there, i not going lie. To pay his ticket? ... the best i can do is have a chat with the airline sponsors to see if we can get a discounted price on the ticket. Right now we have relations with liat, and we'll see what the best price is with them. We'll check bwia and Sun, and i'll email you the best offer.

Heheh, as for the other dude, i don't think we will hurt the man, since he might be your national Hero or something... we want to see a big turnout from trinidad for Video x Games next summer.

Just keep in mind that if Jin does beat him... i don;t think he's gonna want to play tekken anymore and might indeed resort to pacman.

Remeber though, the main event for our organization is the Summer competition, the other medal play tourneys are not so big, about 50 to 60 people come for the monthly medal plays. Also, the level of competiton is not as high in our medal play tourneys, everyone brings out their best game for THE Video x Games event in the summer, so maybe we should save bryanmaster and jin the battle till then.

We also will be doing the national championship: a huge Championship Cup with our mascot "Blue-Roo" in Gold and Blue holding up the name of the game. The national championship will involve teams of 3 for the fighting games, with the 3 members each from the same country. So far, SXM, The Netherlands, USA, Puerto Rico, Curacao, Bonaire, Saba, Statia, St. Kitts and St. Thomas have confirmed for next years national championship... What about trinidad? Y'all interested?

[TriniXaeno]

Yeah, transportation around the islands is a costly affair. Sponsorship for the tickets it the best bet.

Sounds good to wait for the big event, costs considered.

Once the dates for the regional events are firmed up we can confirm. That is important since we already have commitments to GigaGames CyberSportCup and ESWC for 2006. Got to ensure the dates don't clash.

I don't expect them too.

Looking forward to it!
