First flame war of the semester. The natural order has been restored.
No need to thank me, just doing my job.

I believe the servers were mentioned at the last meeting before the summer.
The problem with that is the servers were outdated then and still are now. Even Felix’s own TF2 servers are so horribly outdated and broken that they had to be turned off to keep them from lagging out everything else.

I do know that I haven’t heard any interest on campus in CS. From what I’ve heard from freshmen, the games they want to play are league of legends, melee, and gears of war 3.
Alot of that will depend on the crowd you’re asking. PC gamers don’t go to valley balleywho, in fact they don’t do much of anything outside of stay in their room playing video games. There’s too many gaming clubs at other universities that have large FPS populations for me to believe that WCU doesn’t have anyone interested in it at all.
Btw, since you’re reading this, now that TF2 is free it could easily be made to be a huge draw for the PC section if someone that cares about it is elected into PC leadership. I’ve tried to contact Felix about this and other issues over the last few months but other than joining your minecraft server to ask I don’t think he’ll ever bother to respond. Speaking of minecraft, how’s the server been since I optimized it?
A lot of LoL players were at the Ballywho, do they not count as PC gamers?
As for TF2, I didn’t hear any freshmen asking about it, but it typically gets a decent turn out at the LANs. Honestly, I predict it becoming F2P will increase the turnout for the game at our events.

the current WCU students do not play counter strike
Really? None of them?
When was the last time our CS servers were advertised to students? I know the answer, just curious if you do.
I believe the servers were mentioned at the last meeting before the summer. Possibly at the Ballywho, I don’t know. Every time I’ve heard CS brought up, nobody seemed interested.
I do know that I haven’t heard any interest on campus in CS. From what I’ve heard from freshmen, the games they want to play are league of legends, melee, and gears of war 3.
Yeah, those are the ones I was referring to. I think there was a Starcraft one, some CoD/Battlefield/whatever one, and I think a MvC one.
Personally, I like last year’s posters better. I forgot which LAN they were for, but the Starcraft II poster looked really nice.
Mitch, stop making assumptions about stuff you have no idea about.
The group was originally made by people who had never even attended a gaming club meeting. It started completely outside of the club and it remains a separate entity.
1) The group does exist.
2) It is not directly affiliated/sanctioned by the club.
3) PM me your facebook info on here and I’ll make sure you get in the group.
You can turn the 3D off, just saying. Hell, a one-eyed friend of mine has a 3DS, and even though he can’t use the 3D, he loves it.
Doesn’t have to be the Red Cross, just any reputable charity.
Also, I don’t think DoSCE would have an issue with this because it’s not an entry fee, it’s a recommended donation and the club would have no monetary profit or loss. The fact that it’s a recommended donation also allows generous non-MTG player to help Japan if they so desire.
Brawl+:
1st: Angel
2nd: Liquid
Worms:
1st: Manly Moose
Finalists: Fenfyre + Liquid
League of Legends:
1st: Rack’em
That’s all I remember off the top of my head.

You know I hate to be the one to point this out but wasn’t Kazka removed from office in March 2010? Wouldn’t that be less than a year and still make him ineligible? Also, all constitution changes must be approved by the staff advisor before being ratified. Was this done?
Well, for one, many people in the club (even some alumni) feel that the situation around Kaz’s removal was unconstitutional. And if I recall correctly, the points you brought up were voted in near (if not completely) unanimously.
SPOILERS!
Execs:
Pres – Kazka
PCVP – Felix
CVP – Thor
Historian – Haroun
Marketing – a waffle
Secretary – Anne
Treasurer – TBA, but probably Amanda
PC:
LoL
TF2
SW:BF2
BF:BC2
Wii:
Brawl Plus
Goldeneye
PS3:
MvC3
Worms
360:
Reach
Black Ops
Legacy:
JSRF
NFL Blitz
Constitution:
Execs removed from office can run again in one year (previously two)
LAN dates set as 3/12/11 and 4/12/11
Personally, I’m looking forward to the lan, LoL, B+, MvC3, and JSRF should be awesome.
EDIT: Fixed some errors I had made, mind you I am not secretary.

Even before Felix was VP, it wasn’t popular.
Also, the minecraft server is fine.
Before Felix it was at least up and had a handful of regulars. In fact, it was actually picking up steam until felix took over and left it to deteriorate. <_>
FPS servers will not populate themselves, they need CLs to maintain and populate them. Since Felix didn’t appoint any CLs, guess what happened. Valve pushed out an update, no one updated the CS or CSS servers for 2+ weeks, and when they were finally updated everyone who was playing there had already moved on. That’s gameservers 101, it happens every time and is the fastest way to kill a server.
Also, just as an FYI, the minecraft is not up. I just checked. What you’re playing on is being run from a dorm room because felix couldn’t figure out how to get it to run on Atari. Instead of googling to find the solution he just assumed it was a problem he couldn’t fix and gave up. Just like all the other servers that are down, the problem is extremely simple to fix. You just have to care enough, or know enough, to fix it.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Go ask felix. When he tells you the problem you’ll probably facepalm at how simple it is.
Back to CSS:
The server is outdated and by now probably broken. Since no CL was appointed, you’ll need to contact the PC VP to get it fixed. I wish you the best of luck with that, he doesn’t check the forums anymore.
Yes, because CS:S had huge turnouts at most of the LANs the year before he took office. /rolleyes
I am aware it’s run on his computer, and frankly, that’s fine by me. As long as I have a reliable server with friendly people on it, I wouldn’t care if it’s hosted in North Korea.

CS:S has lost a lot of popularity on campus
It probably doesn’t help that they’re over a month out of date and the PC VP doesn’t care enough to have even appointed a CL to run them.
On that note, can we get someone who cares to run for the position next time? I’m sure felix cares about minecraft but considering he can’t even get that running on the server I’m not really sure how he plans to sell himself as being experienced or driven enough for the job. Only 1 of WCU’s 30 game servers are up-to-date and running. 31 if you count the minecraft. Even you have to admit that is unacceptable.
Hell the only reason that one server is running is because it’s the alumni-run TF2 server. It’s full 24/7 btw.
Even before Felix was VP, it wasn’t popular.
Also, the minecraft server is fine.
I have two small ideas about holding LoL tournaments:
1) Have the players sign up as teams. I’m not sure if the FPS tournaments do this or not, but it would expedite the event.
2) Have everyone play with accounts of a set level or range of levels. This would add more balance to the tournament.\
Regardless of those changes, we should definitely vote in LoL at the next meeting.

so, no one plays? no servers active? im dyin here, i miss you all! well, some of you…
CS:S has lost a lot of popularity on campus, it seems SC2 and LoL have taken over as the popular multiplayer PC games on campus.
I was under the impression that Gunrose wanted Historian. Taking pictures and videos of events is the Historian’s job, and that’s what he’s been doing.
And I have taken initiative for advertising. I pester Thor about if he has the posters ready or not, and I’ve even sent him ones when I wasn’t sure. Also, I have some good ideas about how to reach out as a club to attract more people to our events.
Don’t get me wrong, Thor is a cool guy, he just seems to drop the ball on advertising. As for Gunrose, He seems to be pretty enthusiastic about taking pictures and stuff, and I think he could preform as a good Historian. I don’t really know Waffle, and I have nothing against him. I don’t want to screw him over, but I’m still going to run for the position.
The current issue with the posters is not their quality, but the fact that they simply don’t get put up. I only saw 2 posters for the last LAN, and they were sitting on my roommate’s desk.
And Mitch, how did you know I was planning on running for Marketing next semester? Seriously, I’m not even trolling, this has been my plan for a while now.
Also, nice poster, waffle.
Maybe if people on the forums were less of *edited*s, people in the club would talk seriously here more.
A waffle, go to the commuter’s lounge and ask. They are a much more reliable source of info than this web site.

Japan’s “defensive” military is surprisingly strong, due to the WW2 surrender they aren’t allowed to have a large military so they’ve had to keep it modernized and I’d pity any country foolish enough to attack them. It’d be like attacking Israel, it’s not necessarily how large the stick is that matters, it’s what it’s made of that counts.
You can have 10 guys wailing on someone with wiffleball bats but when that guy pulls out an aluminum bat, fight’s over.
Japan = Protoss?
On topic, do you Republicans even like Sarah Palin?
