What you loved?
The dodgy looking throne of Lan, MS paint comp entries

What you didnt love?
No announcement that CS:S GG comp was starting or when
Space in the rows, need more to get in and out of there comfortably but I understand more space = less Lan space
Aircon at 4am, holy shit it was cold

What we could do better?
Loudness of announcements, most of the time we have headphones on so I could barely hear what was happening.

What you think we missed?
Exploiting the theme a bit more somehow? Dunno, hard subject matter.

Loved: Community as always, all events, generosity of prizes and door prizes, food prices, pings cafe being open and that whole area being available for more casual hangouts/board games/talking.

Didn't Love: Loudness of announcements, no mention of RespawnNotify.. not sure if it's in use anymore but it's an EXCELLENT idea of how to get messages to the masses without having to always shout, a simple "Check notifier" would be enough rather than long message that gets muffled half way. Would be awesome if you could redirect people on first connect to the network to the EMS, and give them the option to run respawnnotify on the first page they see on connect.

What could be better: Just throwing this out here but the sleeping area could be regulated a bit to allow for more spaces for people to sleep? I saw someone take up a single space that would otherwise have fit 4 people.. but again it's not that big of a deal if it can't be done.

EDIT ONE: A friend who came for the first time said that the only thing he'd change would be a stricter schedule for the competitions and more 'official' rule set for competitions to avoid the problem we had with name changes and handle usage. (using nickname different to that of your respawn display name).

Overall this is probably the best respawn I've been too so far (always more to come) and it was definitely awesome and something completely different for all the people I invited this time - many of them first timers

Will edit this post as I think about more! See you next time!
