The first The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up was at McD, Sungei Wang in December 2005, with only 5 participants. Today it has become a monthly event/tradition in KL/PJ area, and bi-monthly in Kuching,Sarawak. With 8-10 participants averagely in each gathering.
Forumers will start voting for venues and dates at the forum board, either early begining of each month or end of previous month. The gathering Time will always starts at 11am/12pm, and ends after 3pm or later (because the NDS will run out of juices by then).
Selection on venues is normally based on these 2 main factors:
easy access of public transports; &
affordable hang-out areas;
Considering many of the forumers are still studying, who are heavily dependent on public transports to move around, and pocket money from family.
Activities During the gathering, forumers will share informations, such as tricks & tips, latest games releases, latest gossips in the game industry, technical questions/supports, fellowships, chill out, have fun, eat, drinks, tok-kok, and of course - go Multiplayer mode on the DS.
Normally, the gathering will kick start with Mario Kart DS, then follow by other popular games listed below:

September 2007- Kuih Bulan Edition; Time : 1100hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 22nd September 2007; Battleground : McD, AmCorp Mall; Status:Completed Photo Gallery: coming soon
First of all the attendees, in order of appearance 01) penman; 02) Pr1me_Minister; 03) sihumcha; 04) kelvint83;
Reports: Generally, AmCorp Mall is a good place to host our monthly gathering. However, this month's outing is a bit cold, due to lotsa real life commitments/factors. But no worries, 'cos there's always the nxt month! :thumbs:
Games Played: Mario Kart DS - seems like everyone slacked, didn't practise at all. The performance was off the normal standard. LOL~
Tetris - Corez didn't present, so it makes the game more hope! :P We actually brought some jambu, to counter his jambi. Unfortunately, he found out about it, and stay home and pretend sick... ( :clap: just kidding!!!)
Sharing Session: sihumchai and penman were conducting a education workshop to Pr1me_Minister & kelvint83, of the up & rising Picross DS Community. They were touched, and planning to move on with this community.
The gathering ends at 3pm, as Sihumchai's DS ran out of juices. So we called it off and return home.
Despite the low attendance, we still have fun+good time!
Look forward to the next gathering, and see you all again!

August 2007- 50th Merdeka Edition; Time : 1100hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 25th August 2007; Battleground : 01 - Hartz Chicken Buffet, Sunway Pyramid, Bandar Sunway;
July 2007 Time : 1200hrs - 1700hrs; Date : Saturday, 21st July 2007; Battleground : Utara Coffee House, Ground Floor, Armada Hotel; Status:GREAT SUCCESS!!!; Photo Gallery:The Great LYN Nintendo DS Meet up - July edition;
Description For a change, we are going to have something different and more comfortable. We are gonna have a Hi-Tea Buffet LYN Nintendo Gathering, it's RM35++ person at Hotel Armada. Currently, there's a "2+1" promotion going on, i.e. if we can get a group of 3, it'll only cost less than RM30 per person.
Facts From previous outings, I see averagely most of us, spent RM20 on drinks and food alone. This one... FREE FLOW!!! You can eat & drink until you vomit, from 12pm - 5pm.
Now wat? Now we need confirmations on headcounts, so that we can make reservations. And once you have put your name(s) down, please respect & honour it. Your attendance will be crucial to the gathering.
Payment we'll take the TOTAL amount, then divide by attendance on that day. It'll be great, if we can find a group of 3s, e.g. 3, 6, 9, 12, etc.
TOTAL BILL RM35 x 8 pax (4 free) = RM 280; 15% Tax = RM 42; total = RM322 (for 12 pax) RM27 per pax
First of all the attendees, in order of appearance 1 & 2) Pheonix & Prime (not sure who came first) 3) Core Z 4) Penman ( who did not see us oendaning at the lobby and straight walk into the restaurant.
While waiting for the others its already 12 and we started eating. Yum Yum Satay.
5 & 6) Ayish & Yuki (they bumped into each other at the LRT station I guess. 7) Hamtarox 8 & 9) Sihumchai and sihummoi 10) Andy (But no DS, came for the food I guess) 11 & 12) Bernie with GF
Games Played Mario Kart, Tetris, Bomberman, EBA, Oendan, Sonic Rush, Warioware. I might miss other games played.
Food Selection I usually avoids eating rice at a buffet, so since they have satay thats all I eat that day. Others that worth mentioning is the ice cream which they refilled around 4 pm. Can't really say much about the others but I saw lots of satay sticks at the table :).
Duration of meetup Sihum x2 and Bernie x2 left first around 3 plus. Then Andy, Hamtarox & Penman around 5. Ayish left after that and myself around 6. I donno how long did Yuki, Prime and Pheonix stayed at the restaurant or maybe after being chased out by the management :).
June 2007 Time : 1030hrs - 2000hrs; Date : Saturday, 23th June 2007; Battleground : Food Court, 10th Floor, outside IMAX Cinema, Berjaya Time Square; Status: SUCCESSFUL! Photo Gallery:LYN Nintendo DS Gathering Pictures June Edition
Elite Beat Agents - Round 1 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin (DL play 2 vs 1 :P) - Round 2 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin/Pr1me_Minister (DL play 2 vs 2)
Ouendan 2 - Corez/Phoenix_Cypher_K1 vs Yuki Ijuin/Pr1me_Minister (DL play 2 vs 2)
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (trade) Phoenix_Cypher_K1, Pr1me_Minister (thank you for the Togekiss and Articuno :P hope you enjoy the Latis)
Overall I'd say the turnout was...not that great. Yep. And we stayed for quite a while (till 8pm). Yuki was quite busy with Nanostray and Ouendan 2 on my R4. Corez was busy playing EBA till his batt ran out. PM played my ori Ouendan 2 despite his touch screen being busted (and you ought to see what happened to his...navy DSL but I'll leave that to PM himself to explain) :P
despite we got some hiccup from A&W. We are officially black listed A&W, for any future functions or gathering in future. After we were asked to leave the place, even when we keep replenishing our food+drinks.
Corez himself alone, oredi ordered 1 combo meal, and 2 ice-creams in less then 2 hrs time.
and we haven't even started 2nd round... WAT A NOOB!!!
so we moved to Section 14's McD, and continue to have fun! tongue.gif
Games played: 1) Mario Kart DS - Winner: Prime Minister; 2) Tetris DS - Winner: Corez; 3) Club House DS; 4) Star Fox Commander DS; 5) Elite Beat Agents;

how come ppl lidat one...they stole it?? stupid astro installer...if i were u, i'll curse them, report police, sue them etc etc...
I doubt the last gathering really happened since no pics
actually, how to said, it didn't really a "NDS" gathering, more like we just sit down at hartz and chit chat, rarely play the nds also , more to like "arcade" gathering
Actually i brought a lot of ori carts the first time i came to the gathering. Half my stuff are ori, half flashcart, and oddly enough if you count it that way I have three to four copies of some of my games...

personally I find shogun's Food: SUX service: SUX price: OVER PRICED! rating: OVER RATED!
that's my experience...
Change of venue? any suggestions on the venue?
remember... the venue we gonna have our gathering, must be a place where it has easy access to public transport, considering many of our forumers that doesn't have own transport.
anyway, I scouted a few new+potential gathering spots... 01) Jaya 33; 02) Tropicana City (got arcade - Tekken 6 );
but not sure abt the public transport for these places tho...
Problem being we're still waiting for the Malaysian PSN to come out. Since we do not want to recreate another account devoid of stuff just to buy games.
thefood court..oh..if can bring your retro card game, haha!
yeah sure, y not....after all it's rare yet classic.... i just hope to get new card from ebay or buy.com soon like Mario Party-e......... Authentic!!!!!

Hey everyone. Me and my fiancee had a great time at the gathering. Wish we could join you guys always for the gathering but unfortunately we don't get to be at KL that often and even if we do usually it's not during the gathering. So keep on rocking guys. Do hope that we see each other again soon.
I know it's not April yet, but I'm hoping that if nothing changes, we can actually try to organize a trip to Melaka for a out of state gath for a day. What do you all say?
Alright since response are pretty cold this month. I'll set it to 28th this month at our default location (Hartz Sunway Pyramid), if there're nobody I'll just walk around there and buy something. XP

So is it better to put it at the same date as your company luncheon or otherwise?

yes pls wanted to try castle crashers for a long time already u guys dun mind help me complete my four swords with my memory card (if the event happens)
Lol.... reading my statement again I can see how ambiguous it sounds... ;p and the worse thing is, I'm also the editor for my company's internal newsletter....
So we have 2 choices on venue this month, Chicken Hartz or modmud's house. But we can split it into 2 separate gatherings like in the previous GCN/ Wii meetups.
Shall we plan both of the gatherings right now? First we need confirmation from Johnathan on the date of his company event, then we decide the date for the GCN gathering.
Crystal Chronicles? you get to try the classic. See if its anything like the new.
The old Crystal Chronicles is nothing like the new ones. It's slower paced, your charged attacks can be stacked with magic, you had that bucket (and a moogle slave if you played single player), and that annoyingly irritating area select screen music.
Plus you had to pick your parents occupation and birthday signs (not sure about this last one) and stuff as you made your characters. Parents would give you stuff every year (or month, forgot) depending on which job you picked.
Everyone had their own menu screens (the GBA), and everyone had their own sub-objectives to complete on their own screens that they can either co-operate with or they just hide what they have to do and blunder through each map (which was more fun than actually cooperating IMO), like Lilties having to use magic only, your strongest party member having to carry the bucket the entire time, etc.
You probably have to try it at least once.

Compile a list of names, and post it. Update it regularly. Once people see that, there's a bit more confidence in that the gathering will actually work.

I have the feeling that the attendance tommorow will be much better than the last gatherings, so why so serious?

Oh yeah... was going to post the link of the site I talked about at the gathering.... it's www.dealextreme.com and it sells DS replacement parts along with other cool stuff... free shipping
There will be a Nerf event coinciding with Terminator Salvation, so I'll be trying to attend two gatherings at once. One is the Nerf gathering, of which I will be on Skynet Team (die human scum), and the other is the NDS Gathering.
Kelvin, plan everything carefully lah. give us a 3 or 4 week time to think about things and check up the time and rates. then we can say if we can come or not.
damn, now that ashchia called me i only realize gathering is tomolo and not on sunday. forgot edy lo. hopefully i can make it 2molo. anyway is anyone interested to watch terminator salvation after that?
Thanks for the bday wishes... yep.. it's been a year since the time I brought chocolate cake to a gathering... no cake this year unfortunately... my mum could only find time to bake a prune and fruit cake.
