people didnt even want to fly into nyc for wcg 2012. pathetic that 5 of 8 teams showed up lol
like anyone is going to this lan
I bought my ticket in 2012, the Cali members of my team just complained about the flight time and said no =P -
and it's a community funded LAN, do you really expect the prize pool to be enough for everyone to get their money back for going? Only 1 team can win 1st place regardless and that would, realistically, be the only team that would get their money back. The point of going is to enjoy going to a lan, not to win your money back. Lans are a blast. There are many other community lans for other games where the vast majority of the teams going know they won't win, they just want to go to have fun. They lose money going, but it's like a lot of other things you do for fun in life, you lose money doing it but you have a good time.
In MOST games I would agree, but considering most of the Crossfire community hates each other, most teams would go to try and win. I obviously wasn't going to the NYC WCG LAN to win it, but I was friends with or interested in meeting most of the people going to that one. That LAN was more the competitive players rather than the forum champions though, so I suppose its different.
As far as flights are concerned, whether you're traveling across the country or just to the midwest, the prices seem to be pretty similar. So why not host in a region where there are more players. There are probably like a dozen teams within a close radius of Indy, while there are probably a handful of full teams on the east coast.
Also, anyone who spends a lot of money to go to one of these LANS and doesn't expect to win is just kind of silly.. -

This lan is already in the works, there is no changing it now unless you just don't want to have one. Sure, if the next one is somewhere closer to Cali but still in the 30~ping region I would still be down for that, but as I said, Cali is expensive, I didn't mean that the flights themselves were expensive, and the ping would make the lan interp heaven just like online. At least a 30~ping lan wouldn't be as bad. Sure there still would be plenty of peek adv and interp, but nothing like a 70 ping lan.
I mean, if you're spending 500 or so to go, yeah you should be planning to win, but I'm spending 300ish myself and I'm not going thinking that we are most likely getting 1st. Sure, we'll have a chance for it, but I'm mainly going because of my previous experience with lans. They're mad fun. -

There are west coast servers? -

I'm in no way suggesting they move the LAN location, and I never really planned on going once I learned the location. I'm just expressing my disagreement with some of the decisions made.
Also, I think you're holding back a little bit of confidence in order to try to make a point. Lets be honest, look at the teams considering going, obviously your teams gonna be a favorite. -

Maybe so, but we don't scrim so we suck. Anything can happen. As far as I know Alpha 5 is going. Either way, I forgot about west coast server. I change my mind, Cali would be expensive, but if we found a cheap hotel or some sht, I'd be hella down. -

Listen you ****ing ***** ****, I called you hot, why don't you reply to me? -

Not to be that guy, but the ping in cali would be 5-10. There are the west coast servers...3. The ping would be like 70. For a lan that's pretty high. I mean, irregardless it won't be a true lan because CFNA's engine is terrible so even a 20 ping lan would have pretty big peek adv and you wouldn't be able to hold angles, but 70-100 ping lan wouldn't be worth going.
Tbh, I still have to spend a bit of money to drive there and it is a 12hr drive for me, but even though it's far for me too, I'd still rather have it more centralized so more ppl have the opportunity to go. AND because I wouldn't drive to Cali for a high ass ping lan. Like I said, it would still be a long ass drive either way, but it would be much more expensive to stay in Cali for a few days.
Cali is actually one of the few places where you could get the pings the toronto people get in e8. -

The ping at the ACTUAL lan center is 14-17 STABLE. Ryangi, purvis and I, all spent a night at the lan center and tried everything out. -
I hear and respect what people are saying but let me explain my reasoning on the location.
I wanted a location that can be reached by the majority of the players. Indianapolis is 3 hours from Chicago, Toronto is 8 hours. Indianapolis is cheap to travel to too.
Another thing was the venue. There needed to be a venue that would have enough PCs and space to accommodate our needs. Ebash in Indianapolis is one of the best places I have seen with over 50 PCs, a tournament stage setup, and a broadcasting station. Plus the surrounding area around the venue is nice as well.
If we were to have an event on the East Coast then players from the West wouldnt be able to go.
If we were to have an event on the West Coast then players from the East wouldnt be able to go.
If it was in say Florida then players from the West and Northern NA wouldnt be able to go.
I see what people are saying but you cant just ask for the event to be down the street from you, things like this dont work like that. -

So instead you pick somewhere that neither coast can get to...
Indy is far less reasonable than a big city such as chicago for west coast to travel to.
YOU SUCK
im call you zerk2.0 -
The logic I used.
FG LAN had about 16 teams it appealed to and 12 showed. 8-10 of them lived in the area or within a few hrs or less drive so a shot at winning more than they came with was pretty reasonable.
Now look at Indy. there is 2-4 teams worth of players in a reasonable distance for that location. and if we use what we learned at FG (That less than 4 teams will show up for an event thats unreasonably far) We can project at most 6-8 teams will go.
Now looking at those 6-8 we have to look at the prize. Seeing as the prize pool is built on the structure of more teams will bring more money its safe to say about half of these 6-8 teams won't go because the cost to get there while isn't high may not be worth the reward.
Leaving Purvis with a projected 2-4 teams based on variables from FG LAN. So Sorry Purvis, this will be at best, 4 teams having a hang out scrim time for a few hundred dollars in prizes. This is because the prize pool is low, and the incentive for players to travel farther than before is low. You need to either get a prize that makes people more willing to go, or offer a more appealing location. Its not me criticizing you, its me telling you that with your current plans, you are setting up a LAN that realistically won't have high turnout. -
da ****
do they just battle eachother? Does that even take any skill?
of course it takes skill.
Water > fire
fire > earth
earth > water?
Energy > all

Those teams that lived in Toronto can easily drive to Indianapolis. I drove 10+ hours to get to Toronto carrying a Uhaul trailer and spending 2 hours at the international crossing because I had no paper work for the PC's I had with me. If people cant afford enough gas money then perhaps they need to stop playing on their computers and get a job.
Chicago was 2nd on my list but the venue I had in mind wasnt what I was looking for. Ebash in Indianapolis would provide a better gaming experience.
Toronto would have been OK again but I wanted to give more players the opportunity to attend a LAN while allowing the previous players from the FG LAN be able to travel there. -

^ actually does
played pokemon online and was ranked pretty high and required IVs and EVs
cross breeding also needed to happen if you did it legit
forgot which but it was like the baby can learn the move from the father iirc
