Hey guys,

Just wanted to give a small update; The design process for the medals has started. Also wanted to mention that we passed 1k donations once the hold on a $100 and $15 is lifted. Keep it up and we will have this lan.
If you want to attend the event you may purchase a ticket off the campaign page.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

TFW people actually think the ebay post is serious

4G N4nny lives on

I see two names that make me wonder about the accuracy of that list
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

After a bunch of feedback I went a head and modified the Goals a bit.
I would also like to make note that event tickets can be purchased from the IndieGoGo page.
Tickets will not be sold on location so please don't wait until the last minute.

As of right now the new goals should look like this

Just a simple Lan and nothing else

Not to pop your bubble but this is your first post on this site, you don't have any friends that I recognize, and no competitive experience as far as I can tell.
Don't be alarmed if people are super weary about downloading this

Mid August
Miami, DoubleTree Hotel & Convention Center

I can't give an exact date until I reserve the venue space, and I can't do that until I get the funds to do so.
But as of right now their August weekends are still open so it's just a matter of us reaching our first goal so I can drive over and reserve the date. If I were to pick though I would go for the weekend of the 13th.

Getting medals for this event shouldn't be an issue.

The only hurdle in that I can foresee is being able to come up with a neat medal idea for my medal creator to make.

This would be the third event.

Only 4 Event tickets have been purchased so far.
Most people are waiting for the bi-weekly PayDay before purchasing their tickets; Others are waiting for the First Goal to be reached so they know the venue is secured.

Unfortunately there's not much I can do about that other than wait for the First Goal to be reached. I'm very hopeful it'll happen this week. Then I'll be able to make a quick stop at the venue and pay the first day up front and have an actual Event Date I can post.

The convention center is attached to a hotel.

It's right nearby Miami International Airport

mah boi

I honestly never expected anyone to want to donate more than 100 bucks.
But if you're feeling generous, there is a big DONATE button on the top right of the page that lets you donate any amount.
Using that button doesn't let you claim the perks though.
