Will you be attending the recently announced eSport Challenge LAN | Polls

See you there !

cu @ uk lan

Parent

Not if i ban you! Gonna get kuraigu and kevlar as bouncer/security.

Parent

haha sweet, kevlar loves me so yeah .. gunna tap u on the shoulder & when u turn around, i'll be there with a trollface mask :D

Parent

U dont need a mask u ugly ....

Parent

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Parent

HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA

Parent

I think kuraigu and kevlar should do some kind of gladiatorial battle, and we can all take bets.

Parent

No - Im an online only nerd that doesnt go to lans

Only nerds like ross are going to lans

Parent

yes if there will be more then 16 teams for ET

online only :(

Isn't it a bit early to ask those kind of questions when the entry fee and the tournament format are still up for debate?

Entry fee isnt up for debate and the format will be bo3 in groups and double elimination.

Parent

Why hasn't the news post been updated then? I'm not going to read a zillion comments to find out the format has been changed to double elimination.

I've also heard that depending on future sponsorships the entry fee was likely to go down as well.

Parent

It isn't 100% yet, this is why the news post has not been updated - it is of course always the aim.

Parent

will be there as a manager, if teamoxid will go :D

Want to go, will have to wait and see :O)

Fancy it? :p

Parent

Yea I want to go like, but I need to check a bit closer to the dates, not sure if I can get just yet :P

Parent

:þ

beeing spec and fangirl =)

Fan of who ?

Parent

the one knows who is meant :)

Parent

does his name begin with p and end with erfo??

Parent

i iz not telling cause of the pressure :OOOOO

Parent

:P

Parent

where is the im to low for any team option

No such option with regards to lan. Any skill can attend, thats a bad attitude !

Parent

<3

Parent

where is "I don't know yet"?

stupid to have strictly yes or no at this point

I agree, i will add that option, was debating it cos im lazy.

Parent

where is "my mum doesnt allow me to go abroad until ... years old"? :D

ofc i come, as spec just meeting some homies there

Yes Yes Yes

So why did u choose maybe then you nerd

Parent

coz i wanted

Parent

yeah :)

Parent

:)))

Parent

where's the 'no i don't give a damn' option?

I don't know yet, as I dno who else will attend and whether I have uni/exams on that date.

Yes 100%

if I choose " No - The cost is something i cant afford" will it contribute to lower fees? If so I will do so and anyway attend :)

Signup fees wont be reduced, just get chosen to pay 300 and u guys split the other 50...

Parent

well it was worth a try, I guess Ill anyway be attending. cash is king.

edit: besides, oxid pays (this is my belief, not a fact)

Parent

Cool, cu there !

Parent

Yes if I get support ;d

No because 5on5 is shit and the entrance fee is too high.

Where's "No cos it's 5o5"? ;(

That one falls under "No - Im an online only nerd that doesnt go to lans:"

Parent

Well, I did vote that, but a no-go because of the format -option would have been a nicer choice, as to express my dissatisfaction with the team size. Although I wouldn't have gone even if it was 6o6 because going to LANs is stupid.

Parent

I feel ya bro.

Parent

funny man. As i said before, you are Belgium

Belgian Hitler

Parent

no because the prizes arent worth the effort

What the fuck are you talking about, 330e profit per player is lifechanging

Parent

Retarded answers

ofcourse I can afford the cost, just not willing to pay it for what I'd get

and 'online only nerd...' how subjective can it be?

remove this poll plz, its just sad

you so smart, I agree with you!

Parent

better than previous

Parent

alsof 100 euro te veel is voor een weekendje spele.

Parent

Ik heb da er ni voor over nee, en va wa ik gehoord hebt zijde meer dan 100 euro kwijt (zonder support obv)

Parent

will there be qualifiers or first come first serve?

Depends on the amount of signups I assume

Parent

no lan=hax ololol

need option "won't go cause I got better things to do"

What he said.

Parent

trying to with a few old mates. tho i do agree the price is getting a bit high.

No - The costs are not explained to possible customers properly and are way to high compared to other events at the venue.

Managed to click the obviously independent community equal.

You're a rich boy
So don't complain!

Parent

will be in canada, depends if i can save up enough money, if not then no, if yes then yes :D hope so!!!

can't afford <=> not willing to pay for shit

jo x

u just dont want to drop hard D:

Parent

drop it like it's hard drop it like it's hard

Parent

party hard! :_)

Parent

too expensive and boring format!

it should be:
-yes 100% i am a nerd that goes to lans
-no i am online only

shit dates, too expensive.

rofl nerds

no money.. poor student here ;p

phyzic No - The cost is something i can't afford

find him a flight from iceland that's less than 600€

Parent

ye ye, idd.

Parent

no seriously, find one.

Departure: 07:55 Reykjavik, Iceland - Keflavik International
Arrival: 12:55 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Schiphol
Airline: Icelandair FI502 e

Amsterdam to Reykjavik
Flight 1 Monday, July 04, 2011

Departure: 14:00 Amsterdam, Netherlands - Schiphol
Arrival: 15:10 Reykjavik, Iceland - Keflavik International
Airline: Icelandair FI503 e
Aircraft: Boeing 757-300
Fare type: Economy Class

e = e-ticket option, only on Icelandair,
GBP = British Pound
Price
travellers flights
1 adult(s) x (162.00 + 117.90 + 2.71) = 282.61 GBP
total for all travellers 282.61 GB

less than 300e
thats without even trying to search, just iceland air, direct to amsterdam :P

Parent

one way flight :P

Parent

nope, it isnt, its with return

travellers flights
1 adult(s) x (162.00 + 117.90 + 2.71) = 282.61 GBP
total for all travellers 282.61 GBP

100% with return

Parent

even so, it's like a journey around the world to even get to the airport :£

Parent

not like it is impossible, i have to go to lan via england first :P

Parent

yea true, just depends how motivated people are and also the entire cost 8] it's a lot of money and time to get there, and I doubt he'd use it for LAN. :p I remember him in september 2010 quitting ET for 1-2 weeks because he was working nights and he got a lot of money for it, he said he would buy a PC but as soon as he got paid he spent it on clothed :D I just think he's more interested in reality rather than ET :[

Parent

Only one way, + phyzic has to travel all the way over iceland to "keflavik" takes like 5-6 hours in a car at winters maybe more, so he should start buying some lottery tickets if he wants to go. + that u cant really say 300e because its atleast 2x more because of the icelandic currency is fucked up.

Parent

no trains in iceland or something?

i assure u... it isnt a one way flight, its with the return included 100%

icelandic current might be fucked up... but its still under 600e as it was challenged :P (under 300 in fact!)

Parent

I got told it was over 600e by an Icelandic guy, so I guess for them it truly is over 600e :P

Parent

300e is 300e! doesnt change, their current must suck otherwise

Parent

whenever I offered rNz (ARNAR) to buy a PC from my brother he always said that 400€ for us is double for him :[ never understood how it works but yeah ;d

Parent

it was great before 2008 but after the banks got broke n stuff its rly shit, The regular people in Iceland dosent rly afford going to other countries anymore everything is fucked up here. And no we dont have any trains in Iceland.

Parent

ql tournament with prizes and i'm in!

None of the points suits me. Wont go for sure at this lan, doubt I'm a nerd because of that :p And still doing Lans with real mates.

idd

Parent

3+4+5

whers the No - just no option?

QuoteNo - I'm an online only nerd that doesn't go to lans

LOL
Imo it is bigger nerding driving to NL just to play a PC game.

waste of time

ross... you retard. worst poll vote ever.

You see you mate, im gonna fk u up if u show at this lan. Like literally, make you scream, i'll fk you so hard you'll enjoy it faggot (c) Mike Tyson. You better be going gorgeous <3

Parent

Take some volunteer who films it.. post it up here.
Add some special effects..
Guess i'll even be your fanboy than :D

( if it wasn't sarcastic )

Parent

Possibly see you there dude <3

Parent

Does that mean I get to see you again!!! :D

Parent

I'd rather attend good old scene LAN, this just sounds too professional

bad options
[x] not gonna attend a 5on5 shitLAN

If fif gets back on track we probably will visit another lan but as I read there may be more to be announced Im not sure if its going to be this one due to 1. Enschede being a shithole 2. Date 3. Cost

its in ur own country and u whine about costs? fuck yea

Parent

The hotels costs the same for everybody, and you need money for food and drinks too. I'm dutch and every lan I attended (except AEF bcuz I didn't had to pay entrance fee and travel costs and stayed in a 12 euro/night hostel, so I'm mean CC5 and CC6) made me spent around 300-400 euro, which is a lot of money for a weekend of fun for a lot of people.

Parent

ye and now add travel costs for eastern europenians :| dork

Parent

true, it's even more expensive if you wanna attend from far. But as you might have noticed only the top (sponsored) teams have line-ups with people with expensive travel costs.
Most mix/fun teams are Belgium/German/UK/NL based with a few exceptions ofcourse.

Parent

300-400 euro? ben je naar de hoeren geweest ofzo :D

Parent

Hahahahaa nee, gewoon een goed hotel en misschien wat veel drinken in lan center zelf gekocht. En tjaa de trein is niet goedkoop in NL, alleen al 70 euro heen en terug met de trein voor mij

Parent

ik was nog ietsje meer kwijt op aef en ik weet helemaal niet meer op welke manier ;( rofl

Parent

are you mean?:(

Parent

no!

expected! SLACCED HARD

Parent

apparantly not slacced hard but im not paying to get there im fucking poor as :(

Parent

I don't believe you!

Parent

Where is a simple no?

guess that option was too easy :)

Parent

Abort will pm you 2 weeks before lan and you will go.

Parent

maybe

shit date

not going :)
bad time to do a lan imo :)
gl to all the teams that go.

No - The cost is something I can't afford:

possible, but quite unlikely that i'll go, since i can save the money for other things i'd prefer

one of the few comments here I fully agree with

Parent

150 people already going , 120 maybe ; woow this lan will be a great succes even when we have 36 other lans this year

+ max 16 teams :D

Parent

Yes if the team amount changes and the format is fixed should be an option too

not enough interested for the amount of teams to be expanded :(

http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=forum&mode=item&id=37831

Parent

Same date as Rock werchter... =(

R0SS = not nerd coz hes going to LAN :))))))

gl fags

#8 No - ET is dead.

"Allochtonen" incoming!

I like how you think that lan-players are above others. :) Nothing wrong being a nerd but it definitely is nerdier to go to LAN than just play it at home. ESPORT CHALLENGE, lol.

wheres "Like it" button ?

Parent

+1 x))))))))))))))

edit: nii Moro Slarto
tuukko pelaa rtcw:tä ???

Parent

en mää nyt taida

Parent

Exactly what I wanted to say :D

Parent

haha you're just mad im nerdier that you slarto mate :)

Parent

i could make a lan in poland with entrance fee from only one team -_-

and LAN's are for nerds

beginning of July?

hmn, i might can go this time ;o

your alive? :D

Parent

YES my dear i´m alive :D but not back...yet :$

Parent

cu thar

fucking horrible options

maybe as a spectator

I do wonder what the ET Finns think people think of them. When Sample/Slarto/Burrnedi replies saying "fucking horrible options" do you think that everyone is suddenly going look and react as if your opinion actually carries weight? Do you think people react 'Wow the Finns aren't going, something must be up here!!!' - Newsflash, they don't. Perhaps one way Ross could have improved this poll would be to offer an option that is "I'm one of those Finns who used to cheat a lot and is socially inept so I probably won't be going outside that day".

(Apologies to the few Finns who are not complete muppets but your numbers are dropping day by day!)

touche

Parent

But they happen to be right most of the time. Funny how admins get mad so easily instead of decent argument.

The costs of the lan etc atm are fucking ridicilous and bullshit.

And yes, im one of those finns who cheat a lot!

And still the finnish cheaters > low euroballs with slac. Happens

Parent

Whats a decent argument with that group? A bunch of lolcat images?

Parent

a decent argument has to have a Premise and a Conclusion, yes i'm a philosophy nerd.

i'm not even mad

Parent

was also tempted to write '#8 No - I'm Finnish' before seeing this :D

Parent

Not even going to be sarcastic but apparently you are needed to get a good lan going for ET.
If these guys cant get a decent sponsor anymore (which i guess is the reason for the ridiculous entry fee) maybe you can pull some strings? :)

And I dont think the constant "yelling" on whats wrong helps but people have a right to express their feelings, and eventho im going I can understand noone from north/east/south wants to go cause the traveling/hotels alone are expensive as fuck, considering most people here are students, 70€ is quite a lot for the amount of games you get in return, specially compared to CC lans and AEF.

Parent

going outside to see what's going on at LAN? I think slarto is an awesome guy. not even bothered

Parent

If you look at the options, its clearly lacking one choice. Some people really do have something better to do than going to your eSport ultramega Ch4ll3nge -LANS. Why not just put "Im a stupid fucking shithead because I wont be going, pls shoot me"?
And still about the other options. They are fine but why there isnt a simple "no" like Butchji mentioned? And my reply was only dedicated to R0SS' pompous behavior, I couldnt give two shits about what there reads after the word "yes".
Yeah motherfucking Ross, seriously, I fucking imagined it in my mind, him typing the poll options with his greasy fat fingers and smirking how hes going to LAN and hes super-social partybeast gonna unleash itself, between the matches of course (super-social partybeast must be the logical opposite since we Finns are socially inept for not going to your LAN)

It came to my mind that R0SS just wanted to troll / wind up some people with that option but so far it doesnt seem so. :D

And hah for calling us muppets. You and other shit admins are just puppets who think they are real boys now. :)) Waiting for more exciting changes in ET without asking a damn thing from anyone.

Parent

Hi, i play ET 8 hours per day, but i flame ppl who go to Lan cos they are the real nerds. I also sit on crossfire and troll all day flaming every person who isnt finnish that i dont like. I also disagree with everything in ET but still play it. I also sit on vent till 4am in the morning playing poker "drinking vodka". Party animal lifestyle.

I feel sorry for you. No one actually listens to what you or you retarded friends think or say. The fat comments are getting kinda old now, maybe come up with something else!

Parent

Dunno, I play ET 8 hours a day and can't stand face-to-face social interaction. I'm quite sure I would go mad if I had to stand 24/7 face-to-face social interaction with retarded dutchmen.

These things.

Parent

The dutch are great tbh. We understand that you struggle with the world outside of gaming/computers.

Parent

Well yeah, talk about it. I went to the cinema with a bunch of people I know once, and oh my gawd it was horrible. Was decent during the movie when nobody talked, but after it ended and the conversations began in the cinema yard I was about to tear my hair out. Oh what I would have given to be at home comfortably watching anime and touching my penis at that moment.

Parent

+1

These things are horrible :(

Parent

My friend of misery, fat-comments are about as old as the comments concerning Finns not going to LAN. And someone sure as hell is listening since two admins went full mad after few Finns complained about options being bad, what they still are.

Im not sure what you are going after with the first paragraph. Even if someone did all of those things, they would still have the right to complain and express their opinions.

Parent

:D

Parent

:D

Parent

i understand that u want to push going to lans as a "must" but these comments are getting a little bit ridiculous!

Parent

You don't understand as thats not my intention - really 1 CF LAN a year isn't me pushing much. And as I did say, I apologise to normal Finns like yourself but on CF, as a general rule - your fellow countrymen hardly shower you in glory.

Parent

i dont mind the fin comment at all.
only wondering whats the big deal of not attending any lans.
but guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. just think people flaming players for not attending any lan is kinda narrow minded, but then again so are the comments whining how everything always sucks on every event and how attending lans is stupid.. basicly think everyone should act more mature about the whole thing. et scene is getting smaller and smaller so less flame and more unity wouldnt be such a bad idea!

Parent

965 players used SLAC simultanously today, so we could guess that something like 1500-2000 unique people played ETPro (with SLAC) today. That's hardly a dead game in my opinion.

Now what I don't understand is the age-old and very tiresome question: why does the online experience of all these people have to be fucked up for the sake of a once-in-a-year offline experience of very inactive group of people measured in the tens?

I'd like TosspoT (or more preferably some ladderadmin who is the real devil behind this plot) to answer this, but still for some reason I'm replying to lettu. Probably because he'd just press on the magical ignore nerve if he saw "Burneddi replied to your comment!" in his inbox.

Parent

2671 to be precise :)

Parent

As correct as you might be with this post, this is the kind of reaction they are looking for :O(

Parent

I can't really imagine that R0SS didn't expect these reactions after making such a ridiculous poll (the poll itself isnt ridiculous, the answers are).

I mean seriously "No - I'm an online only nerd that doesn't go to lans:"??
-> No - I don't want to go to a LAN

"No - The cost is something I can't afford:"
if you add this, you should also add this choice:
-> No - I'm not willing to pay that amount of money for a lan

If you're going to make a poll like this, at least think about the answers before publicing it. After reading the answer possibilities I expected nothing else but flame, either way R0SS wanted that or he didn't know he would get that, wich I'll never understand.

Parent

Need "No - forever alone" answer, as I just don't really know anybody who would be coming and I definetely won't be playing cause of not being active, so it's just not an option :P

online only

Dates don't suit me, can't afford it, and I'm not even online only :(

fucking horrible options

No - I'm an online only nerd that doesn't go to lans:

Some would consider not going to a LAN the less nerdy thing to do

You have the best userid m8

Parent

hoi wesbo!

Parent

Hey Carlos (Ik wist dat jij het was :( ging twijfelen en drukte toen toch op je profiel om het te checken)

Parent

:D goed bezig! cu @ lan m8?!?

Parent

Ik ben een online only nerd! Ik vond het de laatste keer saai, jij wel?

Parent

aye met twizzt, cupcake, ironic + unknown 5th
:)

Parent

Oh ook echt spelen? Het is ook echt zo'n pokke eind heen. Als het nou een beetje in de buurt is, maar nee.

Parent

ja denk wel spelen, ben vorig jaar ook ff heen en weer gegaan om te kijken :-) net zo lang onderweg daarheen als naar mn werk np

Parent

Jij bent 3 uur onderweg naar je werk?

Parent

nu niet meer, toen wel 2 uur heen en 2 uur terug :)

Parent

sommige mensen doen 3u naar hun werk, anderen 3u om hun meiden te bezoeken.......... <=:o)

Parent

cu @ lan !!! no problem

Is really funny how you call online players (90% players) nerds, when the rest of the normal world is laughing of the 30 NERDS going to a lan, paying money to play a free game with their 20 year old virgin fat friends.

Thanks God I'm an online nerd.

brb laughing.

I doubt you're anything close to perfection, just like all the other people playing ET, online or offline. ;)

Parent

cause im not a nerd i must attend

SEE YOU THERE GUYS :O)

You won't make it to the lancenter.

Parent

Waarom niet jonge?!?!?

Parent

I'll kidnap you before you'll arrive there

Parent
