Just a few thoughts on IPL3 that I experienced (Probably not in chronological order):

I was the guy sleeping in LO3 during the broadcast on Thursday because I understood djWheat's position on the television model for broadcasting SC2 for quite a while. I thought that I would take a 5 minute nap and wake up for the next question. Slasher/Wheat called me out for it because I was sitting in the middle and up front.

I played as a competitor in IPL 3, beating Sheth's friend Cheshyr in round one, then I knew I would be knocked down to the Loser's bracket by FXOLucky next round. I was totally outclassed during those matches and they ended pretty quickly. I didn't manage to wake up in time for the Loser's Bracket matches. Waking up at 6 PM because of late nite mafia was the best feeling.

Seeing flamewheel playing Tetris was fun on his laptop while working on the information booths. Everyone seemed to be amazed by his skills as he tried to take back the record. However, someone distracted him and he had to start over. Also, every time I see flamewheel eating in the cafeteria, he's eating spinach. Also, that's how I got the nickname "Software" from him, because my name means software.

The joke with Visine was the fact that they kept handing out products to everyone and then HDPainUser started to use them during their casts. I bet that they had the best advertisement going for them in IPL. That or Playhem who were offering free drinks from 4-6PM every day.

Playing Dominion and Pandemic was fun with Kyle and Charisa because I got to meet new people. Pandemic is hard with 7 Epidemic cards in the deck, and we almost beat the board game. Too bad we couldn't get p4NDemik to play it.

I talked with p4NDemik about baseball and his Cincinnati Reds, and how he can't cheer for the NL because he doesn't want the Phillies to win, Cards/Brewers are his rival teams, and D'backs is mediocre.

TL Mafia is very fun to play with a wide range of personalities. Krukar with his "Bullshit!", and "That sounds like mafia talk to me!" dominated when it was during daytime. Also, Nazgul, Hot_Bid, and TheMango were usually the first ones to be killed because they were good at reading people. The first game of mafia, I was the medic, and I just kept saving myself because I'm selfish.

2GD came by with a bottle of Green Label earlier and that loosened up the match. d3_cresentia was drunk and the town had to rely on him because he was the cop in order to help the town win. The Hot_Bid troll mafia game was the best and I couldn't contain the laughter. Sheth's best defense of "This is a cup. I'm not mafia." during the games was hilarious, along with him trying to be a fake cop.

The best thing about the location for the IPL3 was the Mountain Bar at Bally's that was open 24 hours. You could see many different personalities that were hanging out there, such as White-Ra at 4AM. At the bar, I was there with Mr. Chae on describing the game of beer pong to him. I learned that heyoka does not like his glasses taken off by someone else.

During the twitch.tv party, there were so many people that security had to count how many are in the Blue Martini bar for maximum occupancy. Unfortunately, Kiwikaki was stuck outside for over twenty minutes, and I got David Ting to talk to the guards to let him in. Temp0 was great and I got to meet him throughout the event.

There are a lot of people to thank for this great event:

TL Staff: Especially, Nazgul, Hot_Bid, and TheMango for hosting mafia and treating us to late-nite food. Also meeting everyone else, including tofucake, Sheth, CaucasianAsian, flamewheel+shindigs (I swear, Shindig's ID could pass for both of them, while flamewheel looks young in his photo), motbob (you do look like Scarecrow), and p4NDemik. R1CH for dancing during "Never Gonna Give You Up!"

Charisa+Kyle for bringing board games, Nobel for being mafia 4 out of 5 times during the first day and thus having to be lynched for future games, Bob, Serejai, Krukar, and Brandon for being chill. BlueImpulseX also.

Princeton crew with: hazelynut, DarthThienAn, and d3_cresentia (he raged when he got lynched as a mafia and bent the Ace of Diamonds, forcing flamewheel to use Jacks to represent mafia).

NYC crew: Phyrexi for being awesome and buying food. (Johnny Rockets is Johnny Rogers to him), Roberto, Zeroes (he was the one who had the signs), Venus.exe, Crymoar and twelveAPM, and JinDesu. Kibibit, you are not allowed to host BW events anymore because you confused spine crawler with sunken colony.

Oliver (IPL photographer): you were an awesome guy to hang out and I'll definitely contact you if there will be an IPL 4.

Raelcun and Temp0: fun conversations with you two as well. Best of luck to the future.

I promised flamewheel that there will be a BW event in 2012 so that Carnivorous Sheep can meet flamewheel for the first time. I guess this is an open invitation for people to come out.

P.S. I guess something in Liquipedia will never be corrected. Probably better for it, as it'll just get everyone confused.


Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

I couldn't stop smiling during the one game that you kept saving yourself as the medic, even though the mafia was just slaughtering people left and right haha.

Some part of me regrets not staying up until 7 am every day like you people, but I appreciated what little sleep I got. Great read, by the way! Hope to spot you again at IPL4 <3

yea. i find it hilarious that some of the best memories from IPL are from mafia. Albeit a game where a round lasted 25 minutes of people talking is pretty awesome.

I had boat loads of fun hanging out and meeting you. I hope to see you again!

IPL4 should have a sponsored Mafia mini-tournament or something. I actually have no clue how that would work but it would be awesome.

I will see you some time in 2012 hopefully. Now the trick is finding cheap transportation to NY.

There is a Chinatown bus u can take to NYC from Raleigh. It's only $30-40 dollars round trip. But to be honest, I've heard stories about that bus. You get what you pay for.

I'm pretty glad we made the decision to bring those boardgames, otherwise we never would have met everyone! (^_^)

Those 10 hour mafia sessions made up some of the most memorable points of our trip. I glad we had a chance to play! Also, next time we get together we will totally rock Pandemic with all 7 Virulent Strain Epidemic Cards...and who knows, maybe we'll try out the Bio-Terrorist version too. (^_^)

I took it to NYC this summer on my way to HQ... It ended up being shut down by the government a week later after some crash on the highway killed people.
