Yep run or volunteer, Console P and VP are allowed to appoint Council Leaders to help them run tournaments at the LANs.
Also I do hate that there is a sort of separation between PC gamers and Console gamers, what we all need to remember is we all definitely have at least one thing in common.
We all love to play games. We are practically brothers, now stop hating.
Yeah. I agree.
At the same time though, our console community is very much fragmented as compared to the PC crowd. When System Link actually worked, there was pretty much one universal large community of console gamers. With the V-LANs in place, it also separated the community because we simply couldn’t play with one another. The PC guys have their servers to meet each other. It’s by random chance that a console gamer meet up with another and even then it’s pretty much limited to clusters of gamers sectioned off by dorms.
And Mitch, for the record, the guys who attended the console meetings were the ones who put forth the effort at the LAN to make it that much better. We still had roughly 10-11 people and got some good dialog going for various ideas, game selection, the one mini-LAN we put together, and other stuff.
