LANapalooza 2009 LAN Party - Aurora

[Mike-KT]

Saw this on Gotfrag (http://www.gotfrag.com/tf2/forums/thread/383370/)and thought I would pass it on.

LANapalooza (http://www.zeropingevents.com/modules.php?name=Nukelan)

This is a 300 person* lan in Aurora, it's BYOC and the fee is $20. There are prizes to be won, so you could consider that fee an investment.

Games Played
TF2
L4D
COD4
1.6
CSS

Since our last lan was in Mississauga and had over 50 people, I thought it would be pretty amazing if we could get even half that to rep at this lanapalooza. I don't think this should replace our own community LAN though

[Cleavage Monkey]

This looks familiar. I think someone already posted this somewhere.

Regardless we should look into a bunch of us going.

it gets posted here every year

[ORION]

I'll go if you pick me up Kathy :)

[SharpShooter]

I would be down for this if a fair amount of TNR people would be heading out to it.

[Mike-KT]

Hopefully we can get a good cohort of NR players.

Sorry about the double post, I thought the earlier thread was for the ottawa lan

[Cleavage Monkey]

It re peaked interest so glad you did it.

[M Kraft]

I will likely be there.

[ungst]

im down if we can get a good enough team for the tournament :)

[Helix]

Im heading there, ive been to the last event and their second event they hosted.

[Nekkris]

yooooo.. this sounds legit.
imitebeinterested. Diffy said there were gonna be some good TF2 teams there though.. :o

[rk-]

Yeah, there's a fair bit of interest from the North-Eastern collective of players - I was actually gonna cover this live on site for GotFrag, but I leave for treeplanting the week before :(

[Pharmacy]

Oh sweet, treeplanting. A friend of mine did it and I hear it's awesome! How long are you gone rk?

[DeathSniper]

I am up for TF2/CSS/COD4/L4D.

[Sweetlou]

[rk-]

Nevermind, my dates have changed so I'm now going to this... though I'm totally gonna try and get in free as press :P

[ungst]

[ungst]

[Sweetlou]

haha ungst

[Helix]

Thats what i did last year. I just went in the side door.. but i also went on the saturday during the day not on friday when everyone gets there.

[SuburbanPunk]

From the event page:


Girl gamers get in free, but you still have to pay tournament entry fee. Warning: Attempts to fake your gender to get in free will result in paying full door fee.

I lol'd quite a bit. I guess they've had problems with guys dressing up as girls in the past. What happens if you're a transvestite, transsexual, or just a real girly lookin' dude?

[Cleavage Monkey]

I never saw that point about getting in free. Hmmmm, I may have to go.

This line is great too:


We may also try and get your picture for later mockery.

[DeathSniper]

Is anyone making team and going for TF2 tourney?

[ungst]

[SharpShooter]

[M Kraft]

Shotty the Soldier who jumps into the middle of everything, dies, and then swears over mic a lot.

[SharpShooter]

Shotty the Soldier who jumps into the middle of everything, dies, and then swears over mic a lot.

But you won't have to swear over mic you can just yell at people while your lanning, it makes things so much more fun when people are raging.

[Gorbachev22]

Any Michiganders interested in going? I'd be down unless I get a grant to go to the National Archives.

[M Kraft]

[Helix]

[ungst]

[SpiderTroll]

Not even!

Too bad I am in ottawa this summer, otherwise I would probably end up going.

[SharpShooter]

Well if you still want to go, let me know because I will be heading up for the lan.

[watadarkstar]

30 min, honestly? In that case, I might go.

[Gorbachev22]

Any Michiganders interested in going? I'd be down unless I get a grant to go to the National Archives.

Ug. No lan for me; got the grant and I'll be surrounded by boxes full of WW2 era labour board documents in DC for all of May. I need a vacation (and to hit up a lan) :(

[Crayola]

Well if you still want to go, let me know because I will be heading up for the lan.

Who would have thought you couldnt get away with a grammatical error on the internet.

[Cleavage Monkey]

We are a highly educated community here and we demand perfection at all times.

[Mike-KT]

Spelling mistakes aren't grammar. Additionally all societies have laws forbidding certain events, that doesn't make them nazis.

Also, LoLuMaD?!

[Helix]

lol no im not mad just noticing. also using meat instead of meet is grammar not spelling.

[Crayola]

it goes either way....


GO FOR IT GO FOR IT GO

[Lopert]

Who else is heading to this? It's less than a month away! :D

[aSydiK]

Lopert, weren't you guys putting together a team?

EDIT: Out of that list, I saw rk, Sharp, DS and Diffy signed up.

[Timberly]

ohwaitwhut when is this again? when do i have to sign up? oops...

[Lopert]

Asydik, no that post was about the new ESEA season. just wondering who is actually going as I will be attending this myself.

[rk-]

I'll be there, the CS tourney looks pretty decent so I'll be covering for GotFrag.

[gOOCH]

so are we putting together a counter forces team? richard ds?

[DeathSniper]

*sigh* Some things have come up and unfortunately doesn't look like I'll be attending after all.

[rk-]

I've also already bailed, in case anyone was wondering ;)

[Helix]

Any one still going?

[SharpShooter]

Nope

[M Kraft]

No.

[Diffy]

Nope... when good Source teams showed up, I realized it would be a waste of 60$ + gas

[Helix]

Well that sucks. So far the turnout isnt that good... last year there was a lot more people but hopefully there will be more tonight.

[Fallout]

[Sweetlou]

[gOOCH]

Why the hell would you host anything in Aurora?
