Exile or whoever. Get the console people to come and vote in games that will bring in people. So basically make sure goldeneye will not take the place of a game that could bring in 2x the people.
Also about the prizes. I don’t come to the lans for prizes, I come to have some competition. So the paper prizes would be ok but some people only come to the lans so they can win prizes. Maybe there should (as other people have stated) be a separate part for the most competitive players. But hey ask the community and see what they want to do. Maybe at the next lan have a short survey or something asking what they would like to add/take away from the lans. Those that post on the forums most always go to the lans but the majority of people that show up (for the console side anyway) do not post on here very much and in most cases not at all. So I believe the best way to know what would be best is to ask the people that come to it. This can just give some feedback as to what “outsiders” think of the lans and the gaming club as a whole.
