I know you guys may think this is a joke, but I'm totally serious. Taking into account how many of you seemed intrigued by the idea of a strategy guide, and how many people enjoy playing games at LAN parties, Rekrul and I have decided to host the first ever Starcraft Camp.
Camp Starcraft will be held in a small city north of Kansas City, Missouri, and will last for six days, from Friday, August 1 to Thursday, August 7. We will only be accepting 8 people for the first Camp Starcraft, as we currently do not have room to accept more. But do not fret, kids, Camp Starcraft is a tradition that will continue.
The Camp will include the following:
*The House: the Camp House contains beds for all campers, a room filled with one computer for every counselor and camper, a living room with couch, TV, DVD player, etc., and a fully stocked kitchen. The house is also conveniently located in 2 minutes driving distance from a Wendy's, McDonald's, Sonic's, and Fazoli's, and mere steps from a 24 hour gas station.
*Field Trips: After orientation, campers will be treated to a field trip to see American Wedding at a wonderful AMC MoviePlex in North Kansas City. There will also be an end of camp celebration at a nearby Applebee's at lunch time on Thursday.
*Hand's On Instruction: It's the personal goal of both myself and Rekrul, as camp counselors, to ensure the exponential improvement as far as Starcraft is considered for all of the campers. Demonstration games will be played between us, then campers will be able to ask questions and get advice while duplicating and learning. Worksheets will be given out to help the learning process, but completion is not mandatory.
*"OGN Theatre". High Quality VCD's of the last two Starleagues will be shown on a nightly, scheduled basis. Both Rekrul and Myself will give commentary in place of the Korean commentary, which we promise will be insightful as well as humourous. In addition, miscellaneous VODs of normal quality have been burned to VCD format and will be available for anyone to watch in the living room during free hours.
*And of course, non-stop bombastic Brood War action, concluding in an 8 man tournament for all the campers with a winner-take-only prize of 250$
As I said, we are now taking applications. If you would like an application, list your email under this thread and we will send you one in PDF format within 2 days, which you can fax back and later arrange payment. Cost of Starcraft camp will be 750$ US, and you will be responsible for obtaining your own fare to MCI, (Kansas City International Airport) to arrive before 2 P.M. Aug 1. (arrivals the night prior will be accepted) and departing no later than 5PM Aug 7. International applicants are not only accepted but encouraged -- Rekrul and I will pick and choose the 8 campers trying to get as diverse a group as possible, to promote international unity among Brood War players. However, international applicants must demonstrate a good grasp for the English language or they will not be accepted.
Thank you,

"Worksheets will be given out to help the learning process, but completion is not mandatory."
Sample Question: "Early game as P, you've scouted your Z opponent with mutating Lair and less than 12 lings. Explain how you would counter and why."

|
$750 US dollars is a bit too much to ask. If you reconsider, more people might sign up.

Sky, they only want about 8 kids anyways, I'm sure at least 8 could afford it.

Um didn't u read tl.net or wgtour or sclegacy a while back where Froz offer SC lessons?? 4 dollars per game I believe.. 3 for $10

Dudey, in all honesty, the value in what you offer just sucks. This is August - the weather rocks and I'd rather be in the Bahamas for $750+ airfare instead of in a room playing BW for a week.
Also, neither you, nor Rekrul has any proven ability to teach. I can tell you, from experience, that the ability to teach is as, if not more, important than skill when trying to learn Starcraft (I did pay Corbalt if you remember).
I can just invite people to my apartment for a LAN party one night (Between my roommate and I - and our old machines - we even have 8 Starcraft capable computers), spend $25 for beer and snacks (plus whatever people want to bring) and have a blast.
If you want a good idea to let you capitilaize on your glorious "WDTOUR win" take the "OGN theatre idea", get a terran god, a protoss god and a zerg god together, record your godly commentary on replays/vods, then analyze the game afterwards, put THEM (not just one) on CD/DVD and sell it for $15-$20.
|
It would be better if it were just a week long lan without paying 700 bucks and no teaching

ROFL holy shit this is hilarious. please update us on who signs up, if anyone so i can laugh my ass off at them. What moron would pay 750$ to play starcraft for a few days while 2 mediocre players teach you some bull shit. it would be different if the people were actually good and could really help you. Like VeG said, you could get someone actually good who has an understanding of the game to teach you for that. this is the most rediculous thing i've ever heard. there are about 900 trillion better things you could do with 750$.

I don't think you will find 8 people to do this, but in all honesty, if I was rich, I'd come.
It sounds fun[ny] lolz.

Maybe that d00d flash-nofear would come.
Oh wait, who'd take this "my family makes $600k a month" seriously??
|
would be a better idea and worth going to if sc wasnt 5+ years old, and if the people hosting it were pro's. you have rekrul who isnt even #1 usa, then dudy who is probably as good as getting a game in op 30dom

LMFAO, you can't be serious.
Anyone who would pay 750$, let alone even consider going to a 'starcraft camp' should be shot. Why pay 750$ to go live in a house with other BW players, and do things which you could do right at home for free. Hell, anyone who would go to a SC camp most likely doesnt get any girls... so id suggest just taking that 750$ and paying some pornstar/escort in your area to have sex with you, you'll have the time of your life, and probably consider quitting BW all together. :/

Actually if you were rich enough, 750 would be nothing if you want to meet boxer, and I think we all do, you're lying to yourself if you say you have not the slightest interest in meeting boxer/playing him...

Get a life. Stop feeding off from other nerds who have no lifes. You two should be considered con-artist's. Your always trying to come up with stupid ways of making money for urselfs
|
I'd join if I had the money...I like meeting new people and whats better I might actually learn from something from this since I'm not all that great. Unfortunately I don't really have the money or transportation to be able to get there..but I think the ideas really great. Money seems to be a big deal anyway...but from what I'm seeing its mainly just a few people laughing and then the rest are people nobody knows who are just laughing to be laughing....anyway...I don't think this is ridiculous at all...and if it works out this year you should expect me in the future...this is just something I wouldn't give up on.
|
hint to ilnp : stick with the strategy guide...
|
If I had the time(available)/money(in my case, not a huge hurdle, but I'm sure others feel differently) I'd definitely go.
I live in Canada, so it's about a $1000+airfare here, which is a hefty amount; but for an annual event I would plan on going for the novelty of it if I didn't already have serious commitments planned out for August this year.
I think it's a great idea, between the two of these guys they're making maybe upwards of maybe 4k, 5k in a week (subtracting expenses) doing something they are better at than most people, and at that, something they love.
Really, if this happens a second time next year keep me updated, because it seems like a great event and I'll have to plan beforehand in order to put some serious thought into going.
I think I'm on the same wavelength as WishB[oN]e, I'd really like to do something, in my opinion is so fun, but would rather wait, judge, and plan for next year. Good luck to Rekrul, ILNP, and whoever applies/gets accepted, and most imporantly, be sure to HF!

If I had the money, I'd go and shoot the both of them, and end this lunacy
Edit;
This is probably an attempt to make back some of the money he had to bribe chojja with to play

Would any1 consider actually hosting some sort of event? (cheaper, not specifically for bw training) Having lets say 20-30 people show up each bringing 200$ (and covering all their own expenses - food, etc) or 400$ (expenses covered).
If i had a more central location i would host something like that. Theres a wicked lodge at Mt. Washginton (a mountain 30 mins from my house) that beds 30 ppl. It would be awesome to have a LAN up there for like a week or 2. Has a spa and a hot tub. :X If any1 could host something like that im sure alot more people would be interested.
BW isnt exactly embraced by society - i don't know any1 in r/l that plays this game hardcore like i do. It would be nice to hang out with some people who share the same competitive passion that i do. I mean friends are cool, but volleyball is only so entertaining.

seriously disney world camp and those theme park camps are only $250 max for a week, i duno who would pay $750 for a starcraft camp...
what a waste of money
|
The price isn't outrageous at all. The players hosting it are.
|
oh and just wondering, will $750 come with xenodrile ?
|
If you severely chopped the price down you'd have a chance, keep in mind people have to pay air fair + they're JUST finding out about this less than a month in advance, so especially those on tight budgets won't be able to pull 750 out of their ass.
|
im still nto sure if this is a joke, but i rly hope no one seriously signs up for this
|
what about a pool ? all camps have a pool :[
p.s: you can sign my friend banana.milk up for this too, he's a professional zerg player in korea.

Nice idea but I think it's odd that the end prize money is so much smaller than the fee to attend.

Jesus christ people stop saying all this shit. Are any of you aware how much a week at ANY overnight camp costs? 750 is NOT unreasonable at all. And for everyone saying how its sad to pay that much for a nerdy "starcraft" camps then what the fuck are you all doing sitting here posting your worthless shit on this worthless forum?
Camp should be fun, it should be something you love. If you love hiking and the outdoors go to a fucking nature camp, but if you love starcraft go to a fucking starcraft camp.
I've been to computer programing camps in the past, basically what you did was you learned how to program (C++, Visual basic, etc.) played computer games a couple hours a day, and went outside for like 1 hour a day. This was a DAY camp, NOT overnight and this was ranging in the 500+ dollars. The camp did NOT cover any food (unless u paid to go ovrnight) and it did not have a T.V. with fucking OGN vods playing. Nor did it have a tournament at the end where you have a chance to win 1/3 of your money back...
I personally think this is a great IDEA, and if it was a little more structered, and if I had 750 to spend I would definitly do it.
Jesus christ people, listion to yourselves.
Edit: The only suggestion I have is maybe making some sort of scholorship avalable, because most anything expensive thing these days (college, camp, etc.) has scholorships available.

nice idea but i think u guys should lower the price a bit, u guys can do so by offering a little smaller room or maybe triple-room, theres no need for 1 person for 1 room, most bw users dont care about where they sleep
|
You'd be better off just talking a netcafe into letting you host a lecture and a few exhibition matches for a day or something and charging everyone who attends like $10, and out of that each person gets to play one of you guys live - with the games being displayed on large screens for the rest of the attendees to watch.
I feel something like that is more viable as it would have a nice competitive sc atmosphere, which is often lacking at netcafes these days and you'd have people attending just for that.
|
If anyone wants to come to my place, I can stick you in the basement and slide some macaroni and cheese under the door for you. I will also throw a couple computers down there and at the end of the camp I will hold a tournament, the winner won't die.
It is kind of an intriguing idea though, obviously the cost is a bit too high, but if something like this were to happen in the Toronto area but instead of lessons it was more just a LAN party, I would probably think of attending.
Anyone here have a cottage in cottage Country that they would want to host a LAN party for in Ontario

comm, I wouldnt go to a programming camp either, but at least you get something out of it that might be useful later in life ---SKILLZ---
But holy shit $750 for a starcraft camp? OMG what do you get out of that? in 5 years no ones gonna care about starcraft.
These guys arnt even qualified to teach it. If Boxer decided to hold a SC camp I would still think it was stupid, but I wouldnt find it disgustingly hillarious.
Dudey the strat book was a good idea - if its done properly - but come on, $750 for a 'camp'? shit thats just daylight robery.
The guy who suggested the lan+beer+snacks at least had his head screwed on.

if you guys want money that bad just rob a bank.
and btw, kansas??? wtf is in kansas?? farms and shit?
750 dollars eh? shit i wouldn't even pay for 15 dollars on lessons, hell i wouldn't pay 1 dollar on lessons - seriously.

Not that there's a huge difference but Kansas City is in Missouri. Both states are pretty crappy though. Not sure why it really would matter if you are just playing SC all day.

this idea is fucking nice.... i mean it really shows what creative minds can think of when they want/need money. They're using their gaming skills in quite a productive way here... but i think i speak for the majority of the people on this forum when i ask WHY MISSOURI? and WHY 750 CLAMS?

LMFAO programing camps. Well anyway... 750$ IS a high price. The last camp i went to was a basketball camp at the University of Maryland which was 500$. And this camp offered 2 weeks of basketball tournies, training, and recreation games in the Maryland Stadium. They supplied all the food and sleeping arrangements and it was seemingly alot more structured than this idea.
I'm not saying anything about Dudey or Rekrul here, because hell, if i could get people to pay me money for me to train them in BW, ofcourse i would. But for someone else to pay that much money... to go to a camp run by 2 people that are probably around the same age as you, to teach you things that can be taught over the internet, just doesnt make much sense. What kind of structure would this camp have? Who will be in charge? What if some cocky mofo shows up thinking he runs shit and tells other people where he's sleeping, what time he's going to sleep, and who is playing who. All it seems like to me is a bunch of teenage bw players getting together for a week and just hanging out.
Think about it, how structured do you think it would be to go to the movies with them and fellow bw'ers.. you think they'd have morning call to wake you guys up at a certain time, then walk you guys there in a single file line? It would jus be like a bunch of friends going to the movies together, except all of them but 2 had to pay 750$. I dunno.. i just have a hard time picturing this as a serious idea. Most of the time when you go to a camp, you know who's in charge, and theirs a system already in place. What if a dispute comes up and someone wants a refund, are there any legal documents that need to be signed in the event that would happen? lol what about meals? Will it just be 'wake up and fix wutever you want' or will they cook for you and serve you. It sounds like it could possibly be fun just hanging out for a week playing bw and learning, for some people i guess... but the idea of it being a structured camp run by 2 guys pretty much like you... who play the game, but just happen to be alot better at it, seems like a joke.

True.
But holy shit $750 for a starcraft camp? OMG what do you get out of that? in 5 years no ones gonna care about starcraft.
I'm betting more like 1 year. But really... 750 is perfectly reasonable. I don't know the costs of camps in nzl, but most camps that need computers and computer equipment cost 500+ easily for 1 week.
These guys arnt even qualified to teach it.
very true, actually this and no scholorship are the only 2 reasons why 750 might be too steep.
If Boxer decided to hold a SC camp I would still think it was stupid, but I wouldnt find it disgustingly hillarious.
I actually heard from a friend, that Boxer, Garmito, and Yellow actually all MET at a starcraft camp. Can anything tell me if this is bullshit?

Well no one knows if you even CAN teach, just because your great at the game doesn't mean you know how to teach it well, I know the information of your business is confidentail, but it would be nice if some of your custemers(sp?) told us how they thought you did.
Now ilnp I dunno... =/

ilnp has the best communicative skills out of any BW gamer.
Plus he won WDT.
How is that not qualified?

He does have amazing communication skills, and I agree he is a very good player. But like I said, being great at the game doesn't automatically make you a good teacher, and vice versa. Just look at any sport teachers, all the players could beat them by an insane amount in a 1v1, but they probably can't teach half as well.
I'm not saying you two aren't good teachers, for all I know your great. But the point is we don't know if you guys are good or not... =/

Commander, more like they went to a starcraft camp- as part of their show TZP (Terran zerg protoss) featuring garimto yellow and boxer :o at least that's how I remember it :o Might have been sort of finishing off the show since it was supposed to stop shortly after (with garimto planning to retire etc, not that he had announced that yet but I can only guess ;o).
|
Commander, i can see it now, all the pro basketball coaches beating the dream team in a game, gogo-
|
I just had a camp starcraft at my home: it cost 5 euros, involved 4 people including 1 progamer and increased my APM by 20-30.
Plus it showed how nervous some people are about a WCG match (Hi Raszi ) and how other people need to tell everyone about their 197 APM, '11 minutes of pure art' game (Hi Naz )
Oh, and it also involved meat asking me if he could install roger wilco to help rekrul with his 'lessons-in-dutch-pronounciation' (which i thought was fine, it just didn't actually happen)

How is that not qualified? lol
|
I don't think there should be a question of whether or not Rekrul and ILNP can help any individual who possesses a thirst and determination to learn and improve in the area of BW.
|
I don't see what in the name of god they are going to teach. READ THE ART OF WAR! Then put it into practice. =|
p.s. why would anyone want to subject themselves to the condescension of ilnp and rekrul?
|
If you've got $750 to blow, you'd be better off wiping your ass with it.
|
Ok so im thinking ill go "Mom, dad.." thats how ill start to ask them. Now how do i do the rest. Um help
|
From there go "I want to go to a camp... it is.. for"
continue somehow

hmm 0 for 2 aint bad.

he does have good communication skills, but unless you all want to be trained in the art of cheating i dont think dudeys wdt win is credible

Ok look, we already know that all the good players of bnet wont join because there already good and what is ilnp and rekrul to them. But your not looking into it at the eyes of less experienced player.. this camp can really raize some kids level in the game. But all in all i think $750 is kind of expensive. And if ur under 16 it'll be near to impossible to sign up because 1) U know no parents would support this 2) no one has the money by them selves
Gl to all thats going

this is actually a very good idea.

kind of agree with inSideOut, most of us in this forum consider ourselves good (even if we're not). I don't really feel like i can learn anything from you guys that i can't learn for myself by putting mad practice hours. The only people who i think can really benefit from this or will go to camp are the rich, hardcore newbies.

You can turn it into a "Gamers Reality Series" country is so fucked up and retarded it might actually fly. Talk to ABC, they need ratings bad.

the real world: starcraft camp

thats you're opinion, and its not helping your applications.
|
and btw, how am i wrong? none of the progammers or any of you english speaking gosu's got good because you went to sc camp. no, it's cause you put in mad practice.

Anything that someone teaches themselves the often understand better than the same thing being taught to them. It's because ur not only learning what does work - ur learning what doesn't, and WHY. With that comes an understanding. However, when being taught, the learning process is often alot faster, and, with effort, (or just playing lots of games), u can understand the game just as well.
While most people prolly believe they are good, i think most of them will admit that rekrul (if not ilnp) are better then they are. Therefore, they have something to learn that rekrul has to offer.
However, teaching is a very dificult skill - much harder than playing bw imo, and the chances that ilnp and rekrul would have both skills is a little unlikely. But hey, you never know.

Actually Rekrul and I met at Starcraft Camp.
EDIT:
I should elaborate. Rekrul and I met at a sleepover Computer Camp that we call Starcraft camp, because almost all of the campers and counselors played Starcraft during all the free hours. One of the counselors was {PH}jeSteR, who helped us first learn to be any good.

Teaching is a skill unto itself. Good communications skills are an important attribute of teaching, but do not guarantee a good teacher. Much like sports, the best players do not necessarily make the best coaches.
I paid Corbalt for Starcraft lessons. Corbalt is a smart, articulate, talented individual who showed me the game at a high level but was not as skilled at conveying the concepts of BW to me as I thought he would be.
So, I repeat, netiher you or Dudey has proven that they can teach. Until you do (and the only way is to teach) the price you're demanding for your services is quite high.
PS: As far as the claim that dudey "has the best communicative skills out of any BW gamer." You might want to amend that to be "out of any good BW gamer" because I have seen dudey's online content for a long time and I claim (not out of ego) that I communicate at least as well and I believe better than he does.

Why, because this is a joke? Because you two and a few others can take pleasure thinking you're superior to everyone that ilnp "fooled"?
I do not think this is a joke at all. I think it's going to be played off as a joke to allow the few serious applicants to participate with a minimum of ridicule. Ilnp's post was very well thought out and this is totally within his means. He's declared himself a "pro-gamer" by occupation - this is in line with that. We know he's buying a house (he bragged about it). We know he's got money (he brags about that). It's cheap enough to get Starcraft capable machines together (used p200s or even less would do) and this all hinges on his WDTour win as a means of gaining credibility as a gosu player.
It all makes sense to me.

Camp Starcraft is no joke, my friend. It's the real deal. With mine and Rekrul's help your Starcraft game will become stronger than raw steel.

If i had 750$ to spend, well, what would i do, let me think...
A: I could join Camp StarCraft and become decent at the game by playing 2 more or less gosus and 7 other newbies
B: I could spend one week partying on some mediterranen island and have the fun of my life
Hmmm, really hard decision, but i think i might choose option B.

Dude... I live like 1 hour or so away from where this would be ... How would they stop me from going if I just showed up? lol .. But I wouldn't cause it sounds like a sausage fest.. if you don't understand what I mean it sounds like a party without any pussy? yea.. sucks. $750 could get me into a couple sports camps which I would rather do.. heh but if you can't learn to play well without someone teaching you in person like that then you probably have no chance anyways
|
No offense guys.
But no.

this is completely uneconomical... pay the 50 bucks (orless for those whohave connections) for the game and just play. If u are gonna shell out that kinda cash u better have serious aspirations of becoming pro. And training with people who are below pro level doesnt make sense. To be honest, the camp sounds fun, but thats the kinda shit u do locally or with friends and for free or jus pool money together to make it possible. Ur looking for a profit, go get a job!

Camp should be fun, it should be something you love. If you love hiking and the outdoors go to a fucking nature camp, but if you love starcraft go to a fucking starcraft camp.
I've been to computer programing camps in the past, basically what you did was you learned how to program (C++, Visual basic, etc.) played computer games a couple hours a day, and went outside for like 1 hour a day. This was a DAY camp, NOT overnight and this was ranging in the 500+ dollars. The camp did NOT cover any food (unless u paid to go ovrnight) and it did not have a T.V. with fucking OGN vods playing. Nor did it have a tournament at the end where you have a chance to win 1/3 of your money back...
I personally think this is a great IDEA, and if it was a little more structered, and if I had 750 to spend I would definitly do it.
Jesus christ people, listion to yourselves.
Edit: The only suggestion I have is maybe making some sort of scholorship avalable, because most anything expensive thing these days (college, camp, etc.) has scholorships available.
Dude.. I could go to camp woodward witch is a huge famous skateboarding camp for like 750 for a couple weeks.. And the best part about that is everything is payed for food and stuf flike that, they have a pool, moto cross track, lots of skateboarding park things, and other stuff like this. I think this is much more worth it than going to a fucken Starcraft camp.. Oh yea and pro skaters and stuff go there... So erm.. Yea

Then its obviously not your thing, so why do you care? If you want to go to a skateboarding camp over a starcraft camp then starcraft obviously isn't your "passion". This camp is directed towards people who's "passion" is starcraft. Though I appreciete that you, unlike most of the idiots posting here, posted in good manner.

Not really considered giving back when you are making 6,000$ just for letting some BW players live with you so you can teach them how to play. To me, sounds like whichever 8 players actually do go... they'll just be considered inferior losers hanging onto every word that comes from their mouth, and the only reason they'd be getting any attention is becuz they forked over 750$. But Demonic this sounds like its right up your alley, hopefully u've already signed up and now are just marking off the days on your calender. GL to you sir, i hope you get your money's worth.

See? Even to the 'obssessed' people of BW (Who plays everyday, talk to SC Buddies over AIM,MSN, attends WCG) this idea seems ABSURD. I wonder what my friends will think of this T_T.

thanks for the complement about being good manner, the only reason I said anything about that is for the point that you can actually meet pros there and you can learn with them for like 2 weeks.. for the same amount as going to the sc camp and not playing with pros... well.. I know i'm not that good at sc.. cause I quit 3 months ago but still I don't think either of those players are "pro" in my book.. but yes I don't have a passion for the game because it fucked up my social life :-/

Yes it has really fucked my social life too, I'm quiting in 15 days =/

When you rent a 10 person Lodge and have 10 computers, 10 Starcraft Cd's, 10 Beds, on top of that your spending the WHOLE WEEK teaching 8 kids how to play a fucking game..., and all u ask for is 750 dollars per person I consider that fucking GIVING BACK to the community.
And yes... using ones skills to benefit himself is right up my alley and it should be up yours too.. but wait... you have no skills to make money off of? in that case u can keep HATING on this camp. I guess i cant hold it against u, not everyone can take the time out to learn something and use it to their own advantage like ILNP and Rek are trying to do here.

If this was directed to my post, let me respond, although it is pretty redundant since it is falsehood anyways. 750 isnt a lot of money. I just paid 900 dollars (albeit Canadian) for a piece of metal called a clutch. All it does is raise and lower spinning discs. Hypothetically speaking, a computer camp with profeesional game players is an idea I have never heard of. Hypothetically speaking, if a camp did exist, it could help give back to an existing community as well as generate new interest. I think it is obvious that a camp on a large scale could not work for only Brood War, but think about one that feature BW, CS, WC, etc, with training by the best in the game. It is a viable veture in the right set of paramaters. If you think 750 is a lot of money, it is simply because you yourself have not made very much money yet in your life. That is fine, that will obviously change. As for WDT, I never mentioned it, but it did contribute to the community. Not all contributions are positive.

$900 can get you THREE high performance clutches... (assuming you mean a clutch for a car and not an airplane or someting, because clutches are in lots of things.. even airconditioners have clutches)
The cost of labor to put in a new clutch costs more than the actual part.
|
this is a big joke (dudey said so himself on a post he later ommited), and a lot of you were/are fooled. I doubt this will really happen.
with that being said, everyone stop the bitching.

Dont I know it ><

I figuired it was probably a joke but I was tired of seeing so many people say how bad of an idea it was and how much they hated ilnp =/
|
ILNP would not call this a joke if he had gotten more positive feedback on it. Just posting this shit, then waiting for responses and after realizing that 90% of them are negative calling it a joke ? Hmmm, lol.
If 8 players should sign up they will do it, if no one signs up, they call it a joke.
And btw: 750$ is a lot of money, at least for people who would like to go there, some kiddies maybe. And i just don't like the idea to pay people for playing them or be tought by them. Cuz I think it's part of the game to learn it by your own playing. For most of us there are shitloads of better players than ourselves who are manner enough to talk to you after the game and tell you about your mistakes.
One week of pure BW LAN Action would be really cool, for a lower price of course without 2 gosus but with about 20 players of similar skill level.
|
i can see this as 1 more way for dudey creating attention for himself.
And it worked :/

Can somebody please scan it if you see an add in the newspaper for sc camp. LOL~~

No.
It was a joke to begin with.
If 8 people did sign up hell yes we'd take the 6k.

My car has odometer reads 380,081 and this is the second clutch. It took a little more skill then I will ever possess to install it correctly due to the copious amount of rust. In addition, a clutch is not something you want to try to replace by following the 123 steps in a guide. If you dont know how to do it, and you fuck it up, it could end up costing more then 900.

yea heh.. I just know how to do alot of car stuff cause I have helped rebuild corvette engine and I have helped my dad work on other cars so I gues its just me...

typical canadian stupidity. well im assuming that you dont work, and you get whatever money u have from your parents. which may or may not be alot(i dunno if they are rich). but until u work and earn ur own money and pay for your food cloths bills, then dont tell me what a lot of money is and isnt. ur an idiot for thinking charging someone 750 to play a comp game v other newbies with commentary and watching vods is giving to the community. and comparing sc camp to a clutch? are you retarded? a clutch is much more important, and worth alot more then sc camp, as it provides soemthing u will need in every day use, transportation

ACtually i think it sounds fun, but if only it was cheaper. It would cost me all my savings for my computer to go... Thats alot of money for one week.........

Saying charging someone 750 for an SC camp "giving back to the community" is just retarded. I don't know if you're ILNP in disguise or one of his supporters but please don't post such stupidity. Oh and what do you know, people who said paying $750 for an SC camp isn't much, NEVER SIGNED UP....
No offense to ilnp and his idea, I liked it, although the price is too outrageous.

It's easy for you to say, considering it's not your house, bitch.

Look, it was a joke. I'm poking fun at the community, simmer down. I don't think any of you had your hopes up about attending so I don't feel like I crushed anyone's hopes and dreams. I was hoping it could be something we'd all sit and laugh at, which a few of us did, but it turned into a whole bunch of people wanting to debate nerdiness and attack people, etc, etc. I wish it didn't turn into that, I just wanted this post to be something for which we could all get together and laugh.
But I guess you guys don't come to this forum to share a good time, you come to rip on other people If you think this is some way for me to "save face" after everyone hated my idea, that's your perogative, I just hope you had fun with the idea rather than getting angry/jealous/whatever negative emotion you may harbor towards me/my posts.

lol it was funny but.. I thought you were serious.. The concept it could be done but just the amount of money made it especially a joke.. heh..
|
The thing is, I don't think ilnp would admit it was a joke had 8 people signed up...
|
Do you really think his parents would be ok if 8 kids showed up at his house? My god, it was a joke to begin with.
It was still a good idea though. Too expensive imo, but i've never had money, or a job.

Glad you are clarifying that you are not Daem0nicus, it really wouldnt be fair for him to be labled as an idiot due to some naieve, easily duped, unintelligent kid spouting off ignorant comments on a msg board. Apparently you lack the communication and comprehension skills to actually get a grasp of reality here. Try to understand, charging 750$ to teach someone how to play a game is not "giving back". All u'd be getting back is a receipt and a foot in your ass while you're being kicked out after the "camp" ends.
I dont even really know what to say about the whole "fag" part. Are you referring to me or the other guy? How old are you kid? You sound young and foolish. If you're referring to me.. not once did i call you a fag, from what i remember... and i just double checked. If you are quick to use sarcasm and jump on the defense as a prerequisite for something I have not even said to you yet, then its quite possible you are indeed a fag. And i have no idea what you are saying i have nothing better to do for... i've only posted about 2 things in response to you? Are you one of those kids who likes to jump online after a long day of being made fun of by your peers so you can try to make fun of others? "Me: No i dont think paying 750$ to go to learn about BW is worth the money". "You: NO IM NOT A FAG! AND GET A LIFE! FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO!". "Me: uhh...?" lol you're just a moron trying to fill an empty void thats caused by his own insecurities. Telling people online that are on the same msg board as you to find something better to do. Congrats, you've managed to kill 2 birds with one post, insulting yourself and making yourself look like a dumbass :[
|
sigh im the stupid kid, yet u FAIL to realize i wasnt talking to u... if u didnt skim through all the former posts (and if u had used ur fucking brain and read) u'd realize i was obviously talking to the person who.... hmmm oh i dont know.... CALLED ME A FAGGOT?? if u didnt call me a fag then i obviously wasnt talking to u so stfu newb k thx?
oh and sure this Daem0nicus fellow cant be clearified as a total idiot now that u know im NOT him.... but from what i've heard (him getting owned) he CAN be clearified as a total newb like yourself. Do yourself a favor and go crawl back to x17 with ur witty comments because i dont want to hear anymore bullshit....I have a sister for that ^^
|
As i said "if you are referring to me". If you are going to address 2 different people how about using names instead of ascending numbers... because as is, it can be assumed that since your first comment was directed at me, that your next comment is the second thing you are saying to me. Try to remember not everybody reads every last post on this forum as you do because they've "got better things to do". You're calling me a newbie and u've never played me? I have no idea who you are, we can play 1v1 right now if u'd like? And if you consider my comments "witty" then you've got the brain capacity the size of a walnut. You seem to be getting real upset with all your yelling and lame ass comments: "so stfu newbie k thx?". What's next? gonna strangle yourself with your mouse chord? i surely wont be accepting responsibility of your death due to my "witty" comments. Now can you plz just stfu because i dont want to "here" anymore of your nonsense. Holla back at me once you've finished puberty.

all of your sister's are big sluts who would bang any guy for a dollar.

None of you guys are even pro gamers. Therefore, I think it is a waste of money for anyone to spend this much money on a Starcraft camp.
