Keep in mind most of these places host real business conferences, not us. thats still like 50 per person if you manage to get 100 people to pitch in. damn expensive. | ||

A reason why other sites might not have their own meetups is because they want to hang out with everybody from the SC community and not just their own groups. This isn't High School. But now I'm speculating. I'll let it drop. | ||

calm the fuck down, your reactions are why video game communities get so much crap and are viewed with such stigma, there's no need to get butthurt insecure over a 1 liner offhand joke by someone, jesus. have you ever made fun of friends or done good natured trash talk before? ie basically every single healthy irl guy relationship involves a lot of giving and getting back (in terms of insults). lets not be sensitive nerds please. here is a better response: On August 07 2009 02:56 Psyonic_Reaver wrote: Less cool sites? By less cool do you mean "better at SC2?" And leave it that that. Instead, here we are, debating peoples feelings and social status among starcraft sites (LOL) in a party thread. Of course. OF COURSE. | ||

Mani. I'm sorry I over reacted to what was just a joke. I'll restrain myself in the future. Also, for those who are on the fence still about playing in the SC2 tournament. I've added a first place prize. | ||

A lot of nerds from less cool sites come to TL parties. It is ridiculous. We should charge them 2x as much because they can hang out with awesome TL members. At Paris it was a nightmare. They were throwing bottles on the patio. That being said, I never considered YOUR site to be less cool. In fact, I think it is pretty awesome. Did I not offer to help with the sc2 tournament because I have some Blizzard contacts and ran their community stuff last year? Did I not just post some support in the PL finals English cast thread Radivel posted? Anyway, who I was referring to is people from non-SC sites. gamereplays.org is much much less cool than TL. diabloiii.whatever is much much less cool than TL. I don't even remember the WC3 sites, but I can basically guarantee they are much much less cool than TL. I think your over-sensitivity and reactions are what leads people to see your site as less cool, not anything we do. Seems like you are dealing with an inferiority complex. The problem with getting a conference room Chill, is that there will be damage with 80 drunken SC nerds, and no way to cover it except out of pocket. I still say, find a pub with a second floor and rent it out. | ||
