Hello good and fair citizens of Ottawa,
A new year is very quickly dawning upon us. With the recent economic downturn we hope to bring about growth, change, and hope in a time where people can't even afford a nice sweater vest, or small kitten.
Now I know my cabinet and I have taken some fair criticisms from my opponents , but I think it's time for me to show you what Stephen is really about :

NON STOP LAN PARTY IN TWO THOUSAND AND TEN
So anyway me and my AZN friend (pictured, and yes he is sick on cello, duh. I saw him play enter sandman once, for real.) decided it's time for the 3rd annual Ottawa Lanstravaganza. So now, onto the business side of things. For those of you who have been absent , I will fill you in on what has happened thus far in the saga:
-----------------------------------------------
Tournament #1 the beginning
The first tournament had Clan Leader of NrG, NeverExpo, sweeping the tournament in a series of BMs and offracing, before Mexican/Chinese/Unknown player "Sir Carlos the Third, his Royalness" gave him some stiff competition in the finals, though ultimately losing because of some sort of leprosy or some such ailment (presumably). Oh, and Kennigit was there, so we are like TL sanctioned or some shit. Nerds, try and contain your hard on.
It also had a guy that brought cake.
Tournament #2 double conference weird loser bracket style tournament of pain!
The second tournament had NeverExpo suspiciously absent (we theorize he had a wood shop accident, or had an awful Hungry Hungry Hippos incident...) Sir Carlos the Third his Royalness was sure to take an easy win. Or was he? Some more AZN dudes (probably played cello too) showed up, and one looking like Inter.Calm. They were both quite good and everyone liked them. A semipro from Quake also showed up, and had the biggest mouse pad anyone had every seen. The Los faced some stiff competition in the finals, though he ultimately thwarted the Royal Road attempt by one of the hip looking AZN players from Waterloo. We also observed the finals on the big screen and that was pretty much awesome.
It also had a guy that brought cake.
---------------------------------------------------
Two lovely tournaments. They both had something missing, and that something is me, the Prime Minister of CANADA. These other two chapters will seem like mere footnotes, no, mere parenthetical addendums compared to the THRILL FEST that is going to be the third and most deadly tournament:
Stephen Harper's **LANSTRAVAGANZA 2010**
When: Jan 16th 2010
Time: Starts at 7 with some pick up games, before starting the tournament
Where: Sandy Hill area of Ottawa (Address to follow in PM, this is strictly for my safety as a beloved and valued world leader)
How: Any way you can get to Ottawa U campus will serve you well, from there it is about a 10 minute walk. If you have a car or smart way of getting here/willing to help others, please mention in your post.
If you can't BYOC it's totally cool, there will be lots of chances to grab games and play in the tournament on others' computers. Or , just come to watch / talk shop with Sweet Hair, our resident dude with sweet hair and good ideas.

So there you have it. Please post if you can come for sure / unsure and if you are able to give anyone a ride or any other such thing. Ideally, you will post your race as well. We're trying to give everyone a fair warning of the Lan this time around so everyone can try and attend. We will even try and acquire a prize of INCREDIBLE value for the winner if we can work it into the federal budget. I run a tight ship of bureaucracy and you'd best conform to it lest I bust your shit in.
Oh, and don't bring shawarma into my god damn house.
Yours in kind,
Stephen
