Hey guys, it's me, da infamous superbowser who almost won a round once. Anyway, since I've decided to start coming here more and I noticed a lot of you like Nintendo and games and I thought I'd share this thing I've been a part of for awhile with you all. It's called Smash Camp. It's basically a jolly good ol week of fun for games, competitions, etc and meeting new people. We even have an epicmafia event planned! I know this seems like shameless advertising for a forum, but it's really not. The whole thing lasts a week and it's not for any one person to really benefit from. It's to enhance the experience for everyone. I do think many of you would enjoy it. Anyway, I got a FAQ below for you people.

What is Smash Camp? Smash Camp invites many different forum communities to come together and compete against each other in various events. Everyone who joins is separated into one of four cabins, but it is not divided up by where you come from! You will likely end up in a cabin with your fellow members here, but your cabin will also have people from other forum sites as well. It's an awesome way to have fun with your friends while meeting new people in the process! Participating in events earns your cabin points and the winners of each event will win their cabins extra points. At the end of camp, the totals will be finalized and the cabin with the most total points wins.

What kinds of events will there be? The events that take place vary greatly, so even if you're not good at one thing, you'll have a chance to shine at another. There could be anything from flash games, to scavenger hunts, to artistic events, writing events, or even events involving popular competitive games such as Pokémon Showdown, Super Smash Bros, or Overwatch! You aren't required to participate in every event, but most events will be accessible to everyone. Not only is Smash Camp fun with a wide variety of events, but there are prizes such as cash and Steam games to be won from certain events!

When does it start? / How do I join? You'll want to follow this link to sign up: http://smashcamp2016.com/index/ Quick note: Because this is off site, the rules don't exactly match up with ours. Standard forum etiquette / common sense applies on Smash Camp, but offensive language may be used at times, and there are no automatic censors to catch swear words. Please keep this in mind before joining since the rules on Smash Camp do not necessarily line up with those here.

You can sign up right now, but you won't be able to get sorted into a cabin until tonight at 10 PM EST.

The camp schedule is as follows:

June 24 - June 26 This is when pre-camp takes place. During pre-camp, you will be sorted into a cabin and get acquainted with your teammates and counselor!

June 27 - July 1st Starting on June 27, Smash Camp begins! Every day from June 27th to July 1st, new events will be posted, and results from the previous day will be revealed!

What if I don't have a lot of time to participate? This is a very common concern that comes up around Smash Camp. I've seen plenty of people miss out on the fun because they have other things going on and don't want to join to not have much time to participate.

While it's true you usually earn your cabin points just from participating, the Smash Camp leaders realize people are busy and are are trying to balance more on availability more this year. When you post to get sorted into a cabin, you'll be asked about your availability. Please be honest when answering so that, hopefully, cabins can be relatively balanced when it comes to availability this year.

But some events only take a few minutes to do and submit. So as long as you can spare a few minutes to earn some points for the day, you're absolutely welcome to join!
