Who's in?

I want to go an am able to but my final decision depends on how many other people are going. I know Mike-KT is thinking about it.

[aSydiK]

Hrm... if it was an Ottawa LAN, I would've been all yes... but for now, I'm a maybe.

[Lopert]

I will be there.

[Mike-KT]

My plans are to go, and there is really only one event that trumps this for me

My Ottawa trips?

[iheartyou]

I will be there.

Our team with be der'

[Aydz]

i'm considering going along with cobaltsaber...
how do you compete? preset teams?

[ungst]

hmmmm, could be fun

[MoeB]

You two should definitely go!

[Suko]

I'll be there, I demand revenge for last year. We aren't making the top 3 but at least we can be the best of the rest. Maybe we could even have enough for 2 teams?

Oh and let's get tables as far away from the stage as possible (last year was an ok spot), if you thought it was noisy last time, the SSFIV crowd is gonna make it much worse.

[Mike-KT]

Agreed. I'm for sure going this year. I thought we had a good spot last year, we got lucky sitting by so many TF2 players

[SpiderTroll]

I bought my ticket.

I'm going for sure. Still don't know how I am getting there... but I'm working on it.

I've even picked out my seat. I'm sitting in row O. There are still a few seats left near me. I saw Lopert sitting in row P, so I figured it was safe to sit near him so I can smack talk him while I am owning him.

[Mike-KT]

I'm in seat o8.

NR assemble!

[Passport]

I'll tentatively propose extirpating myself from husbandly duties for this event.

[Lopert]

yup my team is attempting to take all of row P left side.

[Mike-KT]

We need a team name, what about Row O-face? NR2? LeerJet?
We could have enough for 2 teams, so mark down if you're a maybe. I put myself and lechuck in x10, because O filled up. maybe we can convince the 6 people there to sit together so that the 6 of us can sit together

So far it's
Spidertroll
Mike
lechuck
joemomma
Korr

Yet to buy
pprt
anger
Suko??
ungst

I think we could pull off two teams

Buy your tickets before our row of seats get taken and we have to sit all separately, that would suck

[Mike-KT]

the floorplan is getting pretty packed, we're gonna have a hard time getting 6 in a row :( http://2011.lanets.ca/floorplan.php

maybe we can get some people to move over and stuff

Buy today and save $5!

I moved to the general area that you guys are sitting in, but it looks like Row K and L have seats where we could sit closer together. Text me if anything changes Mike, that way I can move again.

[Mike-KT]

Yeah, I think K and L might be the best choice. Let's try to move as one though. Also, make sure to join the team and sign up for the tournament.

[Lopert]

noes dont move away from meeee :(

[ungst]

anyone from the gta planning on going?

[Mike-KT]

We moved to row S

So far it's
Spidertroll
Mike
lechuck
joemomma
Korr
Pprt

Suko??

[Lopert]

laaaame why did you move :/

Also daveMD is an idiot for not having bought his ticket already

[Mike-KT]

we moved so we could sit together.

Next lan, we're all getting organized a month in advance so this douchery doesn't happen again

[JOEMAMA]

You hesitate you lose, that's life. Tickets are sold out.

[WiseGuy]

Tickets are sold out.

[MoeB]

you snooze, you lose

[Suko]

I was made an offer I couldn't refuse on that same weekend so this just makes my decision easier. Also avoids the argument about who would have played if we were more than 6.

[Mike-KT]

Could have said that sooner....

[Suko]

It just came up, but in any case it's sold out which I must say I did not expect.

[SpiderTroll]

Nice!

We're all sitting in the same area.

Lopert is within eyeball range, so whatever.

[MoeB]

[Freezerburn]

Is anyone going with a spare seat?

[Mike-KT]

What do you mean?

[Passport]

There are guest tickets (http://2011.lanets.ca/tickets.php) available, if that's what you're looking for.

If you want a BYOC (bring your own computer) seat, it's all sold out.

[Freezerburn]

Ah, oh well.

[MoeB]

I thought he was asking if there was a car seat available :P

[McPwned]

I thought he was asking if there was a car seat available :P

Same.

[Xzinum]

So? No live webcam of this event?

[Sweetlou]

that would be cool

[Lopert]

Nope, but joe got owned by my axetinguisher and it was hella funny

[Mike-KT]

NR got shoutcasted on likely our best match of the tourney. Will try and find a link to the video

[SpiderTroll]

3rd!

I'm going to spend my $25 on celebratory drinks!

[Gorbachev22]

grats dudes

[monty slick]

GFY guys.

[BrAy]

nice! congrats Gentlemen.

[Crayola]

did u guys win the match?

[SpiderTroll]

I don't mean to steal all the thunder. Lopert and Dave's team did well too.

[Lopert]

never give up on your dreams, spy is a viable competitive class

[JOEMAMA]

Pyro... what a dumb class. The link to our shoutcasted match is here:

http://www.own3d.tv/video/87501/3.12.11_-_LANETS-TF2__Qualifying_Rounds_

on the side you should see Lopert's match as well.

GG all.

[Mike-KT]

a great match for us

The caster did a good job for basically not knowing anything about TF2, though obviously he was terrible

[Derfel]

Pick off. Pick off pick off picked off. Picked. Off picked off picked. Off pick off picked off. Picked off. Pick. Off.

[JOEMAMA]

Please don't talk shit about the caster, he had been casting probably over 6 hours straight and he normally casts SC2. It was very generous of him to cast our Qualifying game and until you try casting yourself (especially live with plenty of distractions) don't talk smack.

He said himself he needed a new word/phrase, but then he used it again another 20 times.

But yes - I think he did a good job considering.

[JOEMAMA]

Arg I suck with forums.

[GympT]

No pressure even when getting casted, gj guys

[Gorbachev22]

Quotations I took from the shoutcast:

"spidertroll is doing a great job, no malpractice suits for him"
"engineer i'm not quite so sure, i haven't seen a sentry gun in the whole game"
"blue team is unsure of what to do -- they cannot collect their thoughts"
"he's going to go down from his other african american friend here"
"nice headshot from joemamma - not my mother but i'd be proud if she could headshot like that"
"let me check on the mamma clan -- he gets sniped by the enemy"
"spideytroll"
"mike - bandages, antibiotics, whatever, he's got it"
"modicum i don't know that word" 1 minute later "interesting word"

[Derfel]

nice headshot from joemamma - not my mother but i'd be proud if she could headshot like that

I did laugh at that one, along with "modicum".

[JOEMAMA]

Cpt. Torte de Lini asked if he can shoutcast some of our other games to practice his TF2 shoutcasting skills. I was glad to tell him that it would be our pleasure to be casted. He could do it through SourceTV.

[SpiderTroll]

That was good. We should totally let him cast pugs... I would watch them with greater enthusiasm!

SpideyTroll out!

[Jeff R]

Probably old but a friend of mine sent me this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lanets/5575225062/in/photostream/

Pretty good picture.

[monty slick]

Cool!

I got Mike, Passport and Joemama...

[aSydiK]

SpiderTroll is 3rd from the left.

[monty slick]

Shoulda figured he'd be the dopey lookin' one.

[SpiderTroll]

At least I don't look like a dolphin!

Awesome picture though.

[0ptik]

look at spidertroll posing...

[McPwned]

At least Jeremy is attractive, unlike the rest of that group. Sheesh.

[Torte de Lini]

Do you guys see me?
Nope, because they stuck me in the stupidest admin spot ever.

Lastly, the admin of TF2 was a bit of a dope, poor guy was overwhelmed :B

He ran it last time as well, same clusterfuck of failure really, minus the terrible internet hiccup on the sunday.

[0ptik]

who's the second guy from the left?

[Torte de Lini]

admin for the tf2 section of lan ets

[SpiderTroll]

He was our ringer. Technosex... A solid soldier

But you're right. I am attractive!

[Mike-KT]

Techno was not the tf2 admin. The tf2 admin was more like an asian mcpwnd

[Passport]

omg tort so busted http://alllooksame.com/

[McPwned]

an asian mcpwnd

Really bad at video games?

[Torte de Lini]

Whoa, oopsies. Hazy memory D:<

[Torte de Lini]

Guess what the meeting is about at 7 p.m :B (for me, I was asked to contribute/join in)

sssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh
