Those were in no way an indictment against anyone in particular. Those were just thoughts I had. My 2 cents, so to say, which is worth even less than that since I have failed to even show up for a while. Things might be a lot better for all I know.

I think that there are some good points made, but I have to say that many of you have not been to a LAN in a LONG time. The horseplay is no down to a reasonable level again, and we absolutely forbid it getting out of hand, especially with regard to other gamers equipment. No one is allowed to tamper with anyone elses computer, no rough housing around other peoples equipment, no abusive behavior at all is allowed, and frankly it is not happening.

People pretty much pick a game or two and stick to it.

I take issue with Shinare about the YRUC being a shitty location though. It provides an easy to set-up, and tear down and clean up location. It has a new fridge, tables, chairs, and restaurants close by. It is not hard to get to, granted it is about 12 miles west of the old Shepherd Mall location, but the Kilpatrick turnpike and I-40 make it easy to get to. If you don't have a pike pass (get one ) it is still easy to get to via council road to 39th/Hwy 66.

It's not pretty, the AC gets weak in hot days, but it does the job. The best part of it is we can make noise, stay out late, bring alcohol, and many other things without ANYONE getting upset.

I would like another location like Duncan Equipment too, but no one has that. I don't like the idea of moving to a house, mainly because it limits new player access. Most people are not going to be comfortable with strangers in their house.

So here is my take on it. If you haven't come lately, come again and check it out. I plan to keep coming to the LAN until it just totally becomes not feasible to run it. Then I will invite those who I know will show up to come play at my house.

What I think is the real problem though is just plain laziness. I see a lot of people come occasionally instead of regularly because they can always find a reason not to come. Occasionally they get over themselves and come out. If people would just set aside one weekend a month to go game, we'd always have a crowd.

The thing is, it's fun....end of story...sign-up and come out.

ok, I'll sign up, maybe, if you'll answer one question first: is this IL2 Sturmovik thing a real game, or another one of those jokey things people put on the signup? I assume it's a flight sim? either way, I don't have it, so if people really are going to want to play that, I'm gonna be miffed that I drove more than 200 miles to run around in a CoD server by myself.

We play IL2. Goahed, myself, Menos, Dan, and Bobacus all have it.

It's a flight sim. WWII time frame. $10 on Steam.

I'm sorry if I offended with my description of the YRUC but I didn't exactly use the word "shitty". (OK, so I did say the words "sucks ass", heh) Its just not what I would say is a "prime" location to have a LAN at. However, since it does the job, and there are precious few alternatives if any, then there's no sense in complaining too much about it. And you are right, I haven't been in a while, so maybe its time to give her another chance.

I hate to admit nimda was somewhat right.

Taken from a post on OKGamers, where I went to attempt to recruit folks.

Now should I post an entire rant on how your type of gaming sucks? Cuz thats what happened everytime I went to that website. I got Verbally Assaulted Cry Well i'm not......welcome to OKGamers.com! We dont allow flaming on companies! I always wanted to go to one of your LANs but I was afraid of getting kicked out. Ensure your members are more friendly and more gamers will come I promise. I'm working on a COD league right now so all the PC gamers I will point in OKGG's direction!

It's the internets.......you need thick skin.
