[Tank]

Hey guys! well V12 is now over!

Since one of the main goals of the Respawn team is to continue to run fantastic events, feel free to post any comments, issues, critism, etc in this thread!

What would be awesome if you could firstly say which area you are adressing (power, network, food, comps, theming, other (or whatever), as that will make it easier for the respective admin's etc reply and also help us when we meet up to discuss things!

Please keep this thread orderly, no silly spam posts (which will be removed).

Thanks!

to all you people complaining about prize money:

I'm sure you all noticed the cost of the LAN went up to $30 this time, and if you read about it when they announced it, they said it was because of rising costs. A lot of you don't realize just how expensive it is to organize this lan, it's not just hiring and dumping people in it, things like power, tables and chairs, network maintenance, upgrades to the network and the free bar be ques cost money.

It would be nice if the games had some better prizes, but perhaps sponsorship is the way to go. I liked how, for example, the HAWX comp rewarded joysticks. It would be cool if the TF2 comp, as well as the prize money, offered say a new logitech G9 mouse.

As a TF2 team that is somewhat in the middle of casual and professional (we stomped some teams, but then in term got stomped by other teams), after playing in the comp, i would agree that the somewhat strange rule set doesn't really do anything, and we should be running the official rules.

I was a bit bummed about TF2 and RA3 running at the same time, my two favorite games

Lastly, the serious business comps aren't EVERYTHING about respawn. I've read your post, Redact, and if it meant we had to give up a lot of things that made respawn fun (the hourly funcomps, the crazy leeching, the AFK comps, the LOG servers, the games of obscure games that people have barley heard of, and moments like, someone THINKING they are getting Transformers 2 and ending up with Scat Porn), i say no deal, those are the best things about respawn, the serious business comps are just a small part of it
