March LAN Question

A question has been under discussion in the Staff forum for a few days pertaining to the March events. As many of you know the ExtremeLAN is being held in March.

If you are attending, great! We hope you have a good time and win lot's of stuff! It is a great opportunity for Oklahoma Gamers.

However, many of you may not be attending for several reasons:

Costs too much
Can't be there enough to make it worthwhile
Don't like big LAN's
Not there for the prizes, just to game with friends
etc...

Some of the OKGG staff will be attending, some will not. So here is the question....

If you are NOT attending the ExtremeLAN, would you like to have the OKGG in March as usual for $10 a head, no prizes, maybe a small group, but still a LAN?

Also, please post your thoughts about the ExtremeLAN and the idea of holding an OKGG in the same month. Pros and Cons.

We said by the gamer and for the gamer and we mean it. Your vote will determine if we hold a March event or not.

I am not going to Extreme LAN so if we do an OKGG in March, I'll be there to help...we may need volunteers to do set-up and tear down...post here if you will help or even if you want to attend.

You didn't have just a "don't give a shit" option.

I will come.

Im probably going to get flamed for saying this but I honestly think that the Extremelan isn't going to have a very large turn-out. Plus its too damn expensive, $50 damn dollars for a few days. Oh well, I guess we'll see how it goes. Oklahoma just isn't the place for a huge ass lan, IMHO.

If the OKGG has a party in March, I'll be there, $10 for a lan is much better than $50, even if there isn't a truckload of swag and prizes, that isn't why I go to lan parties, Im here to game folks.

I gotta agree with Jester. I just want to get my game on. I am NOT going to the ExtremeLAN. however, if there is an okgg and it turns out like that time that it coincided with a CPL, it may not be worth doing. remember that time? what was it, like, 8 people that showed up? that sucked.

I'll be at the lan if we have one.

ExtremeLan doesn't interest me at all.

If you need it I can help setup and tear down.

50 divided by 3 is 16.66. that is a dollar and sixty six cents more expensive then the Edmond LAN. I think it is worth it, and it will be a great opportunity to meet fellow gamers. I'm personally hoping for gamer chicks to be there

I don't think I'll be going to the Xtreme Lan. I'll be at the okgg unless something funky happens.

Typical, reduce fun to a cost per hour...how sad it is that we are so trivial about a few pennies difference in price. It's the Wal-Mart way

Oh and you can play at the OKGG for 14 hours SO YOUR MATH IS WRONG, NAH!

hehe!

whoops, my math was wrong anyway in the previous post. damn divisors and dividends

EL = 1.04 / hour
OKGG = .83 / hour

so uh, sue me.

and you ask why we're being trivial about pennies? it's because some people don't want to go to EL because it costs too much, that's why. it's not that bad.

I was going to say, 10 / 12 hasn't equalled 1.2 for several years now, get with the program.

So 7 people want to go huh....if we get a solid 10+ I'll set it up, otherwise, we can all LAN at my office...FREE!

I know that many people are saying $50 is a lot, and they are correct. It is a lot; however, I am going anyway. People keep saying that OKC isn't the place for a big LAN... Well, you know what, it is up to the gamers in OKC and Oklahoma to change that. The more people that show up for ExtremeLan the better the chances are that we will have another one. With that more sponser will come out and that will attract more gamers. More people you have the less the cost will be over all. I know this isn't QuakeCon which is FREE, but until ID Software moves to OKC (which will never fucking happen) we are pretty much stuck with having to pay money for big LAN's.
