Update: All right boys and girls, its that time again!
Warm up your mice and practice your smack talk, because one week from today (November 28th) is the second annual Ottawa Lan Throwdown!
For all you seasoned veterans, its the same place, same time, same good old fashion e-sport family fun. Send me a PM if you can make it, and I will forward all of the juicy details.
Cheerio,
Mr. Goose

Are you in highschool or university?
|
No mentioning of University of Ottawa. I guess too stupid to go to a third-rate university like Ottawa highschoolers.

Yea I have a little bit issue with this as well. It's stereotyping.

Might as well man. Those korean FMP players last night? Scaryyyyy
|
Umm, sure, we could meet up, though exams are on the door knocking and what not. Anyone in uOttawa here interested?
|
Top three on the list are Ottawa U, Brachio is Waterloo
Edit: Carleton blows, but that ups the ante?
|
I'd be down for sloshed starcraft. I live in rockland though......

Second rate, plz and tnx. : )
@ Palmerston...
What kind of person lives in rockland?!!?
Does the OCtranspo make it all the way out there? We have a friend with a car, maybe on a weekend we could kick it.
Do we need to make a facebook group or something? Or is this better kept from our social networks.....
If you're interested , try putting where abouts in ottawa you are, and if you feel like it Iccup rank.
|
Carleton would be easypeazy. I pass by it on my way to work every day! Not sure if I'll make it out to one of these though. I like to keep myself busy as it is.
|
I would be down, and I pass through the downtown area (week)daily anyways. D rank zerg player, if relevant.

bah. would've been down with this when i was living there last year
|
Sup I ain't from Ottawa but from Montreal (lulz) and I'll be in Ottawa sometime soon.
I'm terribad at SC (D at best, D- making mnm vs protoss when I'm drunk) ^^
|
I live in downtown Ottawa
iccup rank: D+
Let me know when and where
|
I live in Cornwall Ontario, if I could find a way down to where you guys are, I'll come play. iccup high : B right now, I don't think I'm playing up to that skill though.
|
I'm in uOttawa here!
Iccup rank : probably D-
Let me know when and where
|
I live in Ottawa when i'm not in school, i'm in london ontario right now. I actually thought i was the only TL follower in my city. This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside
|
I'm at Carleton U, D/D+ Terran. I'd love to get together and play some time. At Carleton is easiest for me, most likely.

Wooo Ottawa people poping out everywhere lol. I haven't done these gaming get together in freaking years so I think this is great. My avaibility all depends on when, where and how.. so let me know.
Im in uOttawa and I only played Iccup a few times and got my ass kicked so D- i guess.
|
Bad news everyone, I dropped back down to D- today .
No worries though, I'll be back up to D in no time with the support of all of these friendly local players!
|
What what?!
First I run into a guy wearing an MBC sweater in the Rideau Chapters (shout out if you read this), now there's an Ottawa thread on TL?
Lets get drunk and play some starcraft!
|
This should lead to some GGs.
Dont know where the gooser is , but I say we try and organize it for this weekend, or next. Then, if we arent (all) weirdos, we can get together regularly for the love of the game , and drunkness .
I guess the last question really is location-
We could BYOC at our apt downtown. Probably a few logistical things about if the network can hold it / LAN etc (not my area of knowledge!). Failing that, if anyone knows of any internet Cafes we could game at, that would be loads of fun too. There is one on Rideau, and while I do like it, it is of dubious quality at best for many players. Finally, someone could look into renting a room in a school somewhere, however that works.
This is just swell, I didnt think there was so many of us reppin' the nations capital. Looks like we all blow too, haha.
While it matters largely as to how/where we do it (our apt, vs a cafe, vs a room at a school) , who prefers downtown to carleton area?
Poll: Do you jive with Downtown or Carletown area!? (Vote): Downtown, nitty, and gritty with all the adoring homeless (Vote): Carleton, because I'm afraid of Stevie Harper
Edit:
lool at 'carletown'
|
Downtown for me, but I'm from uOttawa so it totally makes sense.
|
Nice! this is turning out well. I assume we'll get something together for this or next weekend (or both) then the glorious momentum will just carry the project.
PS , Thratur, what's your major?
|
My program is called "Honours BSc with specialization in Physics-Mathematics" and I'm happy with it. What about everyone else here?
|
I will join you for some glorious games. I'm D+ with terran and C with protoss. I live by the hospital campus, so not very far from uottawa by bus. Downtown works for me, I go to uottawa just about every day
This reminds me, thratur, we never met. I guess we will meet at this upcoming thingamajig.
Keep us posted on what's going on
BYOC would work for me, I play SC on a netbook, lol
|
Im at uOttawa too, 3rd year in my Bcom spec. accounting, trying for coop right now. Anybody else doind a Bcom?
|
Would anyone be down for a small get together sometime this weekend? Ella_Guru and I can host at our apartment downtown near Ottawa U, but it would have to be BYOC, any takers?
|
I don't really care about the loc because I don't really know ontario lawl
|
|
If that's near Ottawa U, I'll be there with my own computer!
Hope to see purind too =)
|
Alright good stuff. I guess one of us will PM (seems best...) anyone who is interested the address by the end of the week.
I'll let gooser handle most of this jazz because well, it's his thread of course! ; )
Thratur Purind Onisparda
I off hand see that you guys are all near by and down, so that's convenient thus far. Maybe we will do a test run with a few of us (whoever it isnt really much of an issue to show up) and then spread the love.
|
Any one who is interested in dropping in this weekend, send me a PM and I'll form up a list of people to send the directions to. Everyone is welcome, it'll be BYOC and BYOB and about 7 blocks from UoO.
Here's to it

U of Ottawa right here. D/D+ Z or T. On rez (Brooks). The internet there is terribad - can't play more than 1v1 on ICCUP, and can't host.....
Will be here for the next couple of years.
|
Nice showings. Just send gooser a PM I suppose.
Shouldnt be bad for you Impervious, we are like, a 10 minute walk from brooks.
Also, Kennigit, I always had it in my head that you were about 40. maybe 44.
T / F ?
|
hey guys,
wow i didn't know this many people played O_O. I havn't been playing copetitively or actively for this past year but im on SC all the time, im leading NrG. and not really playing much cuz of school etc. I live right by Alqonquin College, and i have abou 10-15 minute drive to get to the Carleton/Bronson area. I'd definitely be interested in gaming or chilling w/e.
You can find me on iccup as NrG.NeverExpo if u wanna contact me, and ill check back to this post regularly :D

I definitely wanna take part in a LAN. I haven't in a few years now. They're always a blast.

BTW i didnt really clarify before but i would rather do it around carleton then dirty downtown. Where exactly is your apt building? Would i be able to park there for free? And do u have like a lot of tables etc?
What i was thinking is maybe only a certain amount of comps would be needed, then we could just plugin our mouse/keyboards and away we go, monitor isnt too important to me I use a notebook bug plug my keyboard and mouse into it, so it would get kinda messy bringing all that shit.
BTW im C rank right now, and im 20. I'd probly be down for this saturday..How old are u guys?
|
I think 20ish is the main age.
I think this first round is going to be downtown at our place, which is near the bridge to vanier, in sandy hilll (a residential area near Ottawa U).
I was thinking that if people dont feel like bringing their shit, we would just sort of be able to cycle on a few computers, and just have a couple games goin at time. Itll probably get down to that anyway, its always fun to shoot the shit and watch your friends beat your other friends in a videogame, while saying how you could have done it better.
I think we have enough surface area to support it all. There is free parking very close by, let me see if I can see the sign from the window....Free parking all night on our street starting at 6.
It's goin down this saturday at around 7 I believe. So long as we aren't (all) weirdos (Not really sure if I can speak for myself yet, but gooser is pretty cool) , then Im sure this will become at least a semi-regular thing, for those who cant make it this time or whatever. If you dont feel like bringing a PC, I'm sure just a keyboard and mouse will suffice.
And, if you really want, you can smoke, or drink, or whatever , but do not, do not try and bring a shawarma anywhere near my bedroom. It's not that they aren't the best food under 5 bucks, but for the love of god if I have any more garlic induced nightmares I just... I'll break down : (
So just pm the goose and will put you on the guest list, hah. ahh.
|
If you live in Ottawa, liking shawarma is a prerequisite.

Yeah, no kidding.
I really want to come, but I've got work until 930, then super early the next morning (so, you know, going home to sleep right after work).
If this one works out please have another. Recently so many of my friends have just started playing SC for the first time since it came out basically, it just feels like weird timing with this thread. Not to mention I've been meeting so many random people and SC just comes up.
|
I'm 21.
I'm kinda used to the feeling of my laptop's keyboard, so I'll definitely bring my own comp.
Btw. Slightly off topic. SC with a touchpad is almost impossible - and I stayed out of D- on ICCUP my first season with nothing better than it.....

Probably can't bring my comp cause its too big - i can bring a 24 though.
|
Not that shawarmas are bad..... I'm probably going out to get one soon..... Too lazy to cook right now.....
EDIT - Just saw your edit. A 24 works for me.
|
Kennigit make it Blue :D
I Dunno if ill drink though, if i do i usually overdue it, thus making me in no shape to drive home. And i doubt u want me crashing on ur floor, i'd most likely raid ur fridge and steal all ur food. :D
this is pretty sick tho, saturday at 7 count me in!
|
|
I'm in the Ottawa area. I actually live in Kanata, I'm here for co-op until christmas. I only know like two streets (march street and varley drive), so I'm not really sure how far I am with respect to you people =\
|
I live on the Quebec side, but go to uOttawa, though saturday I work, so I will not be able to go. Oh well, enjoy.
|
I can't guarantee showing up - mostly for your safety.....
Reason.
|
huk, swine flu, my only weakness!
No offense but it would probly be best if you didn't come lol. We will be in small quarters most likely, and people are scared silly about h1n1. I dunno bro, tough call >.<
|
I'm almost ashamed to say that I'm only 17 (and 10 months if that can help), but I'm still a TL nerd so I hope you won't consider my age a problem...
I'll probably bring the chocolate cake. However, it will be bought, not made by myself.
|
Where are you planing to play? I have a friend in Ottawa and he might be interested in joining you guys to play.

I'll bring some USB controllers so if we don't have enough comps for everyone, maybe we can play super nintendo or something on one person's computer!
|
|
ahhhh~ this weekend is meh for me t_t got a bitching otitis that hurts like a mofo
|
Agh, if you guys are still doing this next term I'll be more free to join in the fun.
Assault_1 you're on co-op... what school do you hail from? I'm on co-op here until April.

Can some1 pm me the address etc for this saturday? i PM'd goose but i havnt got a reply yet. I'd like to know what to bring and when exactly to come. Like i said i dont know the area at all and ill be using a GPS to get there. Ill most likely bring my laptop, keyboard and mouse/pad. I would prefer a monitor to plugin to my laptop though cuz its kinda shitty.
Thanks guys, looking forward to it.
|
Yea, just in case I get cleared by the doctors (going to see them today), I'd like to know where it is.
I also sent a PM to goose, but no reply yet.
|
He'll get at it today. It was my fault, I told him to wait a couple days. Expect in your in inbox by tonight. We have a monitor you can plug into. Only, its 32 inches muahhuauha.
Ironically enough impervious, I had the swine a few weeks ago, so I guess at the very least me and you can play somewhere. You might say I'm impervious to your disease. oh ho ho , what a lark.
|
LOL anything smaller then 32 inches? I don't wanna pull a muscle in my neck playing starcraft, u know it could get crazy like that If not ill bring mine, althought i really don't want to, just due to the fact that i have no packaging for it. I've never played on my laptop screen but its so damn small i think it would be hard.
About the pm, i hope to get it tonight. A cell phone number of whoever lives there would be nice too, i could text u guys if i got lost or something.

Ya if I get lost I can phone you for directions or w/e.
A more hopeful idea, any chance you can pick me up? :D
|
I'm definitely interested in coming to this. Can't say 100% sure I'll be able to make it, but I'll try my best. I'm fairly new to Ottawa, though, so I'll need some decent directions. I don't have a car, but I've got a bus pass and I don't mind walking a bit.
|
Just sent the Golden Tickets out with the nitty gritty, let me know if you didn't get one!
+ Show Spoiler +

|
I've been cleared guys. Cya on Saturday.
I'll be bringing Screwdrivers.
And that wasn't funny ella.....
|
Damn, I really wanna go to this!
Maybe I'll just ask for Sunday off so I can make it.
|
I am D+ Zerg I go to carleton but i live in hull, so either place is good for me. I would love to come and play with some diff crowds, and meet new players.
i duno if it is late, or if u guys are full up but, how would i "sign up" for this event?
Carleton ROCKS :D
|
Seems like were are all about the same skill level, thats pretty cool It will be nice to just talk SC and gaming in general. Im basically a closet gamer, and when people find out i play SC its never fun hearing about it ^_^. It will be fun to just chill and not worry about that shit.
cya there for sure.
|
|
Whoa i never knew so many starcraft players in ottawa I go to Algonquin college. I crash downtown Ottawa a lot as well so pm me and I will come for sure.

We'll try to take some pics or something.
BTW can some one post here like tomorrow or something just verifying this is still goin down. I'd hate to go all the way there and it be cancelled or something xD

I am Coming, Protoss, Zach, 21. What is iCCup?

iCCup is the most popular gaming server atm for SC. Its also the most popular and competitive ladder. Im sure you'll learn all about it tonight :D
|
i hope to show you great games! im going there before 9 because i want to buy a bit of beer, but maybe someone can pitch in with me. If not its ok.

Carlos, you were so tact about securing your bottle caps back onto your bottles. Made clean up a real treat : ) .
I think I will post NrG against The Los later. It's time people learned the truth about me and you Kenny ; )
Let's tentatively call the next one in 2 or 3 weeks. (I'm just letting you know so you can feature it on the TL calender)
|
Arg!
So upset I had to work! Sounds fun though, I'll try to be at the next one for sure.
|
It was fun meeting Starcraft legends Kennigit and Dave Kim
|
Hey,
I can't believe how many local starcraft players there are around Ottawa. I personally don't know anyone who plays around here. It would be awsome to meet a few.
I'm going to be/create a channel in iccup named "ottawa" it would be nice if we could get all locals to idle there.
If anyone from Ottawa is interested in having a few games ill be in channel "ottawa" in iccup
See you soon.
|
It was fun. We'll definitely have to do it again.
And yes, definitely upload that final match. Pizza, bragging rights, and the truth was all on the line
|
wow you guys really don't have a lack of D level players eh
|
We might all be D, and we might a-move our own dragoons, or drop 8 storms on one spot, but we've got something no other starcraft team has. A guy that brings cake.

That was effing ridiculous. Everything.
We do have a guy that brings cake though. ManiSevs, we'll get a guy that brings a camera next time. While Kennigits sweet PvT was illustrated against a guy I only knew as "sweet hair" , we dont get to see Goosers epic PvT against that same "sweet hair". The game includes such things as:
8 storms on a vulture. storms on a comsat. Going to storm siege tanks without researching storm. going for a double recall without researching recall. trying to use mass archons to kill science vessels.
A shortage of D players no. But there is no shortage of bad manners and play that has never been seen before.
Plus we have a guy that is chinese named Carlos.
think about it.
We also have David Kim. Fo real.

awwh shit I wish i would of went

Lol about the guy that brings cake
Yeah everyone were great Ds but it was funnier that way. Kennigit's game is just completely awesome and our race war was epic!
I got destroyed by NeverExpo twice but I was so happy to in-base proxy rax him with blocked rines that made my barracks invincible on destination. I killed 2 drones!

We all know NeverExpo only won because I was coaching him on proper storm placement.
|
LOL man can you send me that replay of you vs sweet hair? I need to work on that build order.
8 pylon 10 gate 30 minutes without storm
am i missing something? xD
|
I think that rep should definitely be added to this years pimpest plays. I would also expect to see storms vs comsats used in every major PvT from here on in this season.

The race war was epic. I got stuck with the protoss scum in it..... But I did manage to do terrible, terrible damage (you know who you are) 
And don't feel bad - I lost horribly to NeverExpo as well. I think I killed a single zealot.....
|
Did anybody not lose horribly to Neverexpo? Though, perhaps it was the build choices working in his favour. I mean, he had deep six used against him twice. If I was still playing protoss I'd be pretty happy in that situation.
|
He won 2:1, so, yes, he lost a game.....
|
yea with my D- Terran i lost a game :D
|
Excuses, excuses.....

Guys im gonna win the next tournament we have, I have to warn you I had just got my internet back the day that I read about the Lan. I am gonna show you the true power of D+ protoss! rawr!

I go to University of Ottawa. Look me up at egall048 aaaat uottawa dooot ca if you want. I have a few breaks between classes where I wouldn't mind nerding out and meeting with a fellow TLer to talk SC.

Hey man, I'll take you up on that offer - but not right now..... Exam tomorrow..... Fuck.....
And you should definitely try to get to the next LAN. It was a lot of fun.

Sorry I missed the first one, but I was on a vision quest. Worst comes to worst if you find me and we get bored we'll end up watching StarCraft VODs on my iPod... ^^

Warm up your mice and practice your smack talk, because one week from today (November 28th) is the second annual Ottawa Lan Throwdown!
For all you seasoned veterans, its the same place, same time, same good old fashion e-sport family fun. Send me a PM if you can make it, and I will forward all of the juicy details.
Cheerio,
Mr. Goose

hey c'mon guys, wheres the local Riff Raff!
edit: bumped! ill bump again in two hours, its only 9:45 am in ottawa, bet alot of these dudes are fast asleep dreaming toss strategies.
|
I will probably be there, unless exam prep and stuff is too intense. Looking forward to it!
|
I am familiar with the when and the where. Are the juicy details important enough that I need to PM you?
|
If you guys now the where and when, you don't have to send a PM, but I think there are going to be few more people attending this one and it would be nice to have a general idea of the number so we can lay out tables/electricity/internet accordingly.
|
should i bring my pc again? I don't mind doing it if it allows more gaming simultaneously.

TBH - I haven't even played a game of SC since the LAN.....
But I should be able to make it.
|
How many people are coming so far?
|
There are quite a few new folks interested, and I imagine most of you will be back for a second round. I'll be sending out the info on wednesday, so stay frosty.

Well, if anyone can drive me.. I live around the Metro in Kanata/Ottawa (varley drive) 
I'll pay them some cash ^^

If SwEEt[TearS] doesn't pull through (he has major homework issues), can anyone else possibly pick me up in Cornwall?

I met IMPERVIOUS today... He's tall and tells horror stories about games that scarred him for life.

Where is this in Ottawa and what time is it. Is it alright if I come but I don't have a computer? I might be visiting Ottawa from Toronto this weekend so that us why I ask.
|
Well I don't expect to find a ride anymore, so can anyone guide me how to get there?
I just moved to ottawa and I don't know where anything is. I live on Varley drive.. around the Metro (in Kanata), I was thinking I could take a bus.. would this work?
thx o.o

Alright everyone, I`m sending the PMs with the info out right this minute. If you`ve expressed even vague interest in the thread all be invading your mailbox in the next 10 minutes.
See you on Saturday!
Update: PM`s are out, if you didn`t receive one but still need the info, PM me ASAP and I`ll hook you up!

96 Hurdman to the University of Ottawa campus. It's not hard to find from there.

Feel free to come without a computer too. We had 8 set up last time for 10 people, and it allowed for a good mix of playing huge games as well as a shitload of spectating from way too many angles.
This is more of a BYOF (bring your own FUN!)
because if we mix our fun together, we will have a lot of fun.
hf.
Oh, and feel free to stay over or as some did last time .... Game until the busses get back running in the morning.
Those guys are lol.

Gooser made a big poop today and it smelled bad : (

mm okay. I checked out the bus stops of 96 hurdman:
Bus Stops
And so I looked them up on google maps.
Map Here
I was planning on walking to the Eagleson stop, getting the bus there which will take me to Machenzie king. Then I walk to the university of ottawa, and finally the appartment  does this sound right? thx 
|
could i get a pm with the info? Thanks :D

The 96 stops at both the Campus and the Laurier stops at the University of Ottawa. If you miss the one stop, you can get off at the other easily.
http://www.octranspo1.com/maps/
See for yourself. Just scroll to the right a little bit, and that's the campus.
When you are actually on the bus, there are big signs signaling that you are entering the University of Ottawa. Either of the two stops are fine (Laurier is the better of the two, but there is not much difference). It's pretty hard to miss.

ahh ok, so I'll be taking the 96, and I shouldn't have any problem getting there (after I find the bus atleast).
what about getting back?
|
96 Terry Fox. Get off where you got on the 96 Hurdman. Do whatever you did to get to the 96 Hurdman, but backwards.....
|
I'm sorry to spam this anymore lol, but if SwEEt[TearS] doesn't pull through, is there anyone who would pick me up in Cornwall? Whether you be on the way, or a generous person? This is my first LAN I have the chance of going to :O
|
I cannot believe how many people from Ottawa play starcraft/visit TL. This is unreal.
|
yo assualt if you are still a bit confused about the directions, i live in the west end of Ottawa. Leaving from Kanata to the LAN, you will pass right by me via bus transitway, so if you want, we can meet up at Tunneys and go to to the lan together. Just dont be embarrased by my big black garbage bag with my pc in it. hahaha.
edit: We could meet at Tunneys pasture, its a bus station on the way to the university, and then we could head to the lan together. Im heading there for sure, so if you are interested give me a PM or msg me here. Thanks in advance.

thanks, I PM'd you about this. It would probably be better if we meet up on the way back.
Speaking of that, when will the lan finish about? (ie. how long did it last before) i'm worried busses won't be running at that time
|
^^
It finished... the next day for some. You leave when you want I guess. Last time we played for a bit, had a tournament, got pizza, played some more, I went to bed, and the others kept playing.
Like I said, you can stick around here as long as you need, we a couple alright couches and stuff, or game on.
Have you ever taken a bus Assault ?! You sound terribly confused, haha. Just use google maps, it has OC transpo integrated in the "get directions" !!
gl.
lol at PC in a garbage bag wishbones.

The 95 runs 24/7 now, so you're good any time of day.
Oh, just read the the rest, you have to take the 96. I'm pretty sure on weekends the 96 is fairly regular, with like a 3 hour break between 2 and 5 am.
I'm planning on coming to this one, just really unsure of my schedule right now.
|
I think i left at 3 am last time., Ill try my best to come this time, im about 95% sure ill make it. I've been playing quite a bit since the last LAN, hope i don't dissapoint my fan. (cake).
|
Yeah, you still have to 4 probe rush me.
|
ah man im getting excited to see you all again, and NrG.NeverExpo, we still have to play that third match!. i remember beating you once, then you ripped me a new one. Then we decided to play some more, but never did, due to pizza and tournaments.

I wonder though, am I the only Zerg player coming again?

I'll be prepared. Very prepared. I hacked into Flash's brain and stole his TvP, designed a build specifically designed to take out ella's intensely harrass heavy TvT, and thought of a great way to play a good 1v1 with cake. I won't be bringing any fun. Instead I will be bringing lots of pain

The Nearl is a zerg too. He's lazy and smells bad though so he didn't post in this thread.

No worries, im still going.

So, last time, I only actually got into the building because some random person happened to be going by and let me in. I don't have cellphone, so I can't call if I arrive and can't get in. I'm definitely coming, though, so if I don't show up by 7:45, could one of you go and just check to make sure I'm not trapped at the entrance? Would kinda suck to have to sit there and do nothing till you guys decided to go for pizza.

Well, I was waiting at the bus stop with a bus ticket in 1 hand, google maps in the other, for about 20 minutes. I was shivering like hell and I finally see the bus in the distance. then when it gets to my stop.. IT DRIVES RIGHT PAST ME WTFF I was at the right stop and everything.. so I just said fk this, not waiting another 30 minutes in the cold, and went back home. sorry guys

Thats the only reason i lost against subzero by the way(the cake i ate 1 hour earlier had distracted me during the tourny, im not lying. Otherwise i wud have owned him ez ez. :D if anyone wanna play me, just add ek.wishbones @ iccup ill be gaming there for a while. Tooodles! + Show Spoiler +

Hey thanks for hosting guys. I'd be interested if you organize this again.
|
Yea was a lot of fun SEMIPRO FIGHTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
|
HAHA. Ye Sir Los , we are going to do a completely new thread and try and make it purdy. Toronto LAN will be jealous.
The next one is going to drop in January, we will plan it a bit more in advance so we can get accurate numbers, and if it's that big again we'll work the two conferences in two rooms I think, thatd be mad fun. lol at Los bringing it home for the Iron Chefs over the North Koreans.
Starting training! New thread will go up soon enough to see who wants to test their might.
This one was a great one, had a couple of newcomers who were top dogs. Honourable mentions to Sub Zero and Calm, two of the better players who tried to stop by for a quick showing but stayed until 3. Nobody gets out alive. Sub Zero made it to the finals and provided exciting matches for his fans.
Ninja/Ella takes the cake for best game I think. Irradiated infested terrans, and more mine drags than.... well, it was the most mine drags ever.
Thanks for comin everyone, I know the 4 flights of stairs is a challenge, but you all did it.
Shout outs almost go to wishbones for being so helpful in trying to get people here, but points taken away for pooping in Goosers room.

Yea, I'd like to get my revenge on calm, though he has cool crossover keyboard tactics. He looks like a piano player when he does it. Though I'm his rival, I'm his biggest fan girl <3
Posted indeed, just check here every so often. Maybe we'll do a 1 dollar buy in !

Yea it was great, I wish I could have stayed longer and at least watch (or play.....) the finals.

Actually, that's kinda what me and a few friends used to do way back when for LAN parties. We would all pitch 10 bucks, and we would get a whole lot of pizza, chips, and other goodies to snack on the whole time.
I think it would be a good idea.
