We should pick either this or pittco and have everybody go to that one. Or both. Having us split between two PA lans would be uncool.

I could probably go to both (FITES and Pittco) since they're so close to me, but I don't think they've come out with any info on next year's Pittco yet.

I can't do both (and I would think the same for a lot of people). I can go to either but I know eXtv is going to be attending/hyping FITES.

well im doing fites. the admins are pretty awesome and actually listen to the people who are there gaming. most lans admins are a bunch of pricks who hate tournaments, fites is the opposite. its also much closer for me than pittco.

Okay, I will also be attending FITES. Will be driving from MD and should be able to carpool. Will be leaving from College Park, so if you live around there or anywhere between there and Harrisburg (off of 95 to Baltimore, around the western half of 695, or off of 83).

I work in the College Park area. I also live about 45 minutes north of there to boot. PM me and we'll talk over details.

I'd love to tell you when the next Iron Storm is but I don't know and they haven't announced it yet. But if I had to guess from past years I would say March or April. I know many of those guys worked with The GXL doing network for PAX East last year so if they are doing that again I wouldn't expect their LAN around that time. (PAX East: March 22-24) But that's just my guess.

I wanted to throw up my guess for you all because I really like all those guys but being down in Baltimore travelling for my own LAN is already a good distance so I understand about travel. I want everyone to have a good time and keep LANing without breaking the bank. (That is if you can't make it to our event please still attend ones you can get to! Without people LANs will dry up pretty quick.)

Thank you for the kind words. We try our best to make things as fun as possible for everyone. I got a chuckle out of the CS comment. CS is usually up on the chopping block every year because, (1) none of the staff plays anymore, and (2) they seem to be a very serious crowd. ;)

Last year was our first year running a TF2 tournament so things were a bit awkward being all stopwatch, but we needed to minimize the time to not overlap with our other tournaments. This year things will be more "normal." (We finalize all rules no later than 30 days before an event but usually sooner.)

thrasher, thank you for posting about our event! This year we got the hotel to give us more power so 50 more seats than last year!
