So will there be any details given as to really why this was cancelled. It appears a bit vague at this point.

For those still looking to meet up, there is a GSL Finals viewing party followed by a Live On Three episode at the "Friday Night BarCraft" event on Friday night (8:30 pm) at the Hilton. We'd encourage anyone who isn't attending the final live to head over there.

I'm not saying that we all have to be basement dwelling nerds (when I was in my teens I went to an all boys school and became literally incapable of looking/talking at/to a girl apart from family so I can definitely relate to social difficulties that come with the stereotype), and I use this term just because it's fun, not to piss anyone off as a lot of you may have misunderstood, most of us know ourselves that we don't live in a basement, I've been referring to myself as a nerd even when going out for many years now trying to give people the impression that gamers go out and do stuff and are people with souls too. You should be proud of who you are and what you do, that's why me and other friends each other all sorts of dorky names (the stereotypes) and constantly make jokes about it. If you feel angry about my post then obviously you're not comfortable with who you are or aren't very good at taking jokes. The latter is fine but the former is unacceptable! If you're not proud of being a nerd then you are changing yourself for the worse imo.

However I don't really care if you say the stereotype isn't there because it is. I have struggled for many years with getting my friends to go out anywhere simply because they don't feel comfortable in a bar/club/whatever environment (I'm not going to force them to go), as they've got older it has become less of a problem but that's only because they are 24-25 years old with careers, some of them still don't want to go out though. So of course we would get together at somewhere familiar like a friend's place which is fine too but that's besides the point for what we are discussing.

I still think that Ultimate Barcraft had a problem with numbers, yeah if all of your friends are going then you probably will go, but if you go by yourself how comfortable will you feel about that?

Please prove me wrong and give some other clarification why the event was cancelled.
