That’s fine, it just seemed like you guys blew alot of money on a small amount of prizes. So I was just alittle worried. BTW you guys should have voted on spending money at a meeting and it should have been in the minutes.
As Dice said, we voted. We had a meeting basically specifically for the voting of spending money on prizes.

I hear we lost our first official sponsor, I wonder why that was. Why did we only get sponsored by 2 or 3 companies? The requirement typically is give them atleast 1months notice have at least 50 people for Alienware, (200 people for ATI), Thermaltake didn’t care so long as we posted pictures and a short story of what happened, Josh Schwartz was handling ATD, Bawls was a simple form just tell them how many people you are expecting, etc. Granted, I hope that from the past lans we have continued posting/ emailing pictures and a short story of what happened at the LANS so that we could keep each sponsor happy…It is sort of a requirement to continuing being sponsored. But if you don’t know what the requirements for each are go to the executives thread. Notice the Sponsors thread at the top that I created a long time ago…its all in there. Plus for any new sponsors we are supposed to add them to my post along with any information needed for future people to contact them to continue sponsorship.
As to my knowledge Computer Dynamics did not want to sponsor us anymore because he did not want to pay for something and then donate it to us. If I remember correctly he said he was losing money on us and could not do so anymore. We e-mailed Alienware, Steel, nVidia, ATI, etc all well before the LAN (1+ month). Steel and Alienware responded in kind and since Thermaltake sent us their prizes late at the last lan, we did not want to double up. Josh Schwartz has basically not been apart of the Gaming Club for a while now. He never showed up for meetings and mis appropriately and irresponsibly deleted posts on the forums from users because he did not like their opinions on a matter. We haven’t had ADT as a sponsor in a while. Bawls conflicts with RedBull so we cannot get Bawls, as Dice said.

BTW, I demand this statement be removed from the constitution…”Furthermore, Mitchell Pate must report to the LAN at the discretion of the president.”
On the grounds it is not relevant to anything and let’s say that Mitchell Pate graduates and moves to California or some other state or country, he will want to get on with his life at some point, and future presidents might not even know who he is… THIS IS NOT RELEVANT. Let’s be real people, it doesn’t belong in the constitution. And even if it did, it doesn’t belong where its located. Notice we do have a LAN Event Section…it would go there. HOWEVER, if you have read the constitution you know that it is extremely out of place. IT DOES NOT BELONG!!
I move that we remove “Furthermore, Mitchell Pate must report to the LAN at the discretion of the president.” from the constitution.
Mitch Pate is a good guy and the “movement” about Mitch being put into the constitution was a joke and viewed as one. I do not believe it is in the “official” constitution but I may be wrong, as I often am. Either way, it is being blown up and out of proportions. Sure if it was on the official constitution and shown to the SGA, etc then of course it would be a bad thing.

well, I would have to agree, with that statement in the constitution, our club does seem like a joke now to me too, But I was hoping that maybe it could be saved and revived somehow. I guess people really did love Adam…shame he had to graduate. Much love to DICE!!
The Bawls things was a joke…you remimber when we would get both red bull and bawls… BTW do we have red bull as a sponsor?
Dice we are so going to party this weekend!!! Make sure Nicole is going to be there, I miss that girl too. Only privledged people get the invite to the best LAN afterparty so far and guess what you, Loot, and Nicole make VIP!
How is the club a joke because of one little play on Mitch? I fail to see how anything we’ve done has turned the club into a joke, as everything we’ve done and currently are doing is what was being done in the past and is generating a larger club in general. What could we do differently that we are doing now to “save” or “revive” the club if all we are doing is following in your footsteps and following exact steps and making the club grow?
