Today one of Crossfire's finest members posted a email screendump from a conversation between him and one Gigantium's employees.
As seen almost everyone have started to think that this is a scam, but let me put it this way.
A half a year ago I had the vision to start a big ET LAN for the community, everything was in some sort of hurry that I didn't realize that people started to hate the idea that it was supposed to be BYOC.
I was out talking with almost every firms in Aalborg about supporting it with all different sorts of stuff, and finally I came across Matrix. I contacted them to see what it would cost to borrow it for a whole weekend for a LAN event, it ended up in almost 3500 € which was a pretty cheap price. The thing however was that the LAN venue was way to small, so I kinda had to put it on hold to find a better place. It was a really hard process as people started to loose the hope in it really coming to life one day, so I grouped up with some former staff members of The eXperience & SLAP to provide me with experience, we quickly managed to have the support from a place called UEG & Aalborg County that was offering us a decent amount of money to cover all the expensives. This was the deal. Therefore we never had some sort of sponsors as the people behind it was Aalborg itself to gather interest to the city.
After the reunion with the former experienced members I was put as a ET-chef to gather interest from the ET scene to the LAN. However this wasn't that easy, I quickly realised the hate toward ET and it's community from the former COD4 & CS Crew LAN members, so I always stayed in focus to be as positive as possible. Gigantium is a big place, and has different sort of departments, I was told that the deal with Gigantium was made regarding it being the host for the LAN and I was right away on writing some stuff about the LAN itself here on crossfire, where I promised that I will come up with a final annoucment about it on 1st of September, 2010.
University started and people started to from maybe 5-10 hours each week helping organizing the LAN to only 1-5 hours, I was however still working on getting all the details done as soon as possible. I managed to get arranged that afternoon trip to the city with the pubcrawl and club, and thought I might've had everything setteld regarding ET. However it turned out that Gigantium was misled by the dates where it was free, so we were offered a big LAN venue, with a small shop, sleeping hal, Internet connection and all the cables needed for about 10.000-12.000€. Some of the folks realised that the date was wrong and went to call me about it, but at that point it was already too late. I simply lost all the faith.
I started from the idea guy behind all to ending up as a simple ET organizor to now being the biggest idiot.
I am deeply sorry for all of this, I think I was just way to exicted about all of this.
Yes I am the one to blame but I am for sure not a scammer. When the moneysystem at BilletNET failed to respond to our deadline I was talking to Krosan about taking in the payments on his account as some sort of security to be 100% sure that nothing will happen to it and no one would get scammed. I hope Krosan can verify as this is true and was talked about 1-2 days before the offical annoucment.
All of this was never INTENDED as a scam, think about it.
Why would a scam people in a game I have played for almost 7 years?
Why would I scam people on a site where my IP ain't hidden?
Why would I scam people that I have played with ages?
Why would I scam on a site where most of them know my real identity?
Why would I scam when i post about 1 picture of myself each 2 weeks?
I have stepped down and won't be helping at all at this event, I however will still be playing this amazing beloved game with a deep sorrow of shyness & guilt. Already now I have been banned on almost every second mIRC channel.
Looks like times have changed, Kamz used to be the most hated now he's the most beloved I used to be a funny and chill guy that had too much passion for this game to now ending up as the most hated because of something I will regret for the rest of my gaming carrer.
Once again I'm sorry.

A real ET event:)
THIS SOUNDS FUCKING AMAZING
FUCK WZZRD
WZZRD WOULD NEVER LET YOU PLAY STREETBASKET
bo Lied =(
300-400€ entrance fee? aka 60-80€ p.p?
But anyway looking forward to it =) Hope to get some money together and go =D
............... :D?
You forgot xfire is full of fat nerds stuffin their mouth full with crisps and pizzas :)
Football (or soccer as you would call it) was called football long before American football, and in american football they use their hand mostly
Offcourse thats nice, but location in Denmark + 400€ entrance fee there will be no RTCW teams I'am affraid.
Or will you have to pay only once for both ET and RTCW?
QL however has a small entry fee.
Guess those pc's will be used.
Fahr aber warscheinlich mit dem Zug oder so :S
ill get raped -.-
OMFG <333333333
sounds awesome :OO
and the computers LOOK AT THEM
Ferrari F430
Asus Striker Extreme "COMMANDO"
Intel Core 2 Quad / Q6600
NVidia GeForce 8800 GTX
DDR-II-RAM PC-5300/667 Kingston / 4GB
looks nice tho i dont know how the computers in enshede are
Enschede pc's
Mainbord : Asus P5PL2-C
CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHZ
Graphics : XFX 8800 GTS 320 Mb
Memory : Crucial 1GB DDR2 667Mhz
dunno if i'd be trusting enough to pay entrance for this event..
so they dropped the game that would likely get the money sponsoring and publicity and favor of et which won't get hits outside of crossfire? almost too good to be true
sounds like a deal
But will try.
wat.
btw if you got any questions about Aalborg feel free to ask me
Really this shouldn't be a question but since et will be 5v5...
popular in fin, swe and cze atleast
floorball is a really fast and exciting sport to play/watch. it's a bit like icehockey played indoors just with a small ball instead of puck. also floorball isn't as physical as icehockey, but maybe even a bit faster and intense
who sponsors that tournament? i want your babies!
Massive marketing mistake made.
I think you're the one who needs to do his research before posting...
+ I have talked with them about it.
Your link: http://www.cadred.org/News/Article/96419/
Bo's newspost: http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=5571
Spot the difference:
C'mon man, you've made yourself look like a fool, you know it!
Perhaps talking with bo might help you out a bit, I think he knows what's going on.
And if you look down in the comments on the cadred link you might find a comment from a guy called z1no. He's a manager & a boardmember in Roskilde eSport. I'm pretty sure he knows what's going in Roskilde.
why not play ET there?
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDddddd
But i would prefer CC8. (maybe attending both, deppends on myR Lansupport)
Whats the next (international) airport (to lazy to google)
so wish the ppl who playing there lots of fun
1.120 km

Also whats the Quakelive prize?
How cold will it be at that time of year?
