What's the level of play of you guys Chicagolanders? I am a low level diamond - I barely got to D+ in BroodWar - so will I get absolutely pwned in this LAN party?

nGBeast, how about you edit your first post and write nicknames of people that are DEFINITELY going to show up and people that will MAYBE show up? Count me in for DEFINITELY.

I think we should try and find another venue, this guy still hasn't called me back and when I called him again today he told me they still haven't mad a decision.

1)We need to set up a date - without that, nothing will happen.
2)As for the venue, we need to tell the person how many people will show up. I'm suggesting to nGBeast to edit his first post so that it reflects who confirmed that they're going to be there and who can MAYBE be there.

Guys, we have a big problem here -> This thread has been just people saying "Yes, I can do this!" but there is nothing to "do" when there's nothing organized yet. We need someone to organize something first, then you can get excited. There's been a thread like this started by Milkis (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=133356) but I jumped on that too late.

I think we are aiming too high for a tournament with prizes when we don't even know how many people are going to show up; we should start with a low number of people, have some non-tournament meet-ups (at a school, at someone's house, not necessarily at a venue) and if it grows from there, we can move on to a tournament. If you're a low diamond n00b like me, having to pay (even $20) for a tournament where you're going to get roflstomped by very good players you met for the first time, this idea is not as appealing anymore.

What other venues are there?

How about we start like this -> Post your Battle.net character to play some games online and see what everyone's skill level is, then meet somewhere for some casual games (I'd rather bring my own computer than pay a regular rate at a cyber cafe). Here's my character ID -> Jungleboy#966

Its Chicago man, there is no good roflstomp players here. At least none that I know of, hopefully iI'll get proven wrong if we get to organize something.

Sorry with school and work I've been busy. We really need to find another venue though. The guy keeps dodging my questions when I asked him 4 times now for a price for the place, he keeps saying "I need to talk to my brother" and its been a week or so now. So if anyone knows of another place let me know or ill keep searching!

Okay after this post, post if you can come and ill make a list on the first page.
