lol how does it feel to be that guy?

I tried for the past couple days to come up with a few suggestions.  Honestly its all a stretch.  I couldnt really think of anything major.

-First being seating.  And this has more to do with the attendees than it does the staff.  I really dont know how difficult it is to follow directions.  Pick your seat on the intranet then sit at it when you get to the event.  Sitting in someone elses seat on purpose is outright disrespectful.  Accidentally sitting in someones seat because you genuinely didnt know there was assigned seats and then making a big deal out of it when asked to move is, again, outright disrespectful.  We had a guy drop out at the last second who MIGHT have came.  Due to people switching seats, had he came he wouldnt have had a seat.  Good thing he didnt make it.  I'm sure the staff would have done a good job to accomodate us in some fashion, but it shouldnt have even gotten to that. PAY ATTENTION AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!

-Second being Prize drawing.  I share the same feeling about moving it to Saturday evening.  One person above said they wish there would have been some kind of closing ceremony.  With the prize drawings usually on Sunday morning, it kind of was the closing ceremony in past years.  It also made everyone stay for the entire event.  I noticed alot of people (including us) packed up the night before.

-Third - This goes to Munich and DWRoelands.  I understand where both of you are coming from in regards to outbursts/celebrations.  The key is to do it in moderation, and to still be mindful of your surroundings.  When we won the BF3 tourney out team made a point to NOT yell like lunatics, to NOT shout WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! at the top of our lungs every time we got a kill.  Nobody is expecting anyone to act like they're in a church, but it would be nice to not have people who didnt act like the 13 year old kids we all make fun of from Xbox live.


FITES has become more of a social event than it has a gaming event for me.  Especially with trying to get something off the ground here in Philly.  I only played a little UT3 when we first got there, and pretty much Battlefield3 the remainder of the time.  This is NOT in any part to the way the even is run.  Its just how I tend to utilize the event these days.

The only thing I wish you guys would really do is have MOAR events, and BIGGER ones.  But from my understanding, thats in the works, and I'm looking forward to it.

thanks for another great event.

During the first round....that may have been me screaming out.  Mainly because that first round was pure adrenaline and the rounds were soooooo close.  I thought it was appropriate that I express my joy in winning the first of the two rounds.  Very VERY intense game.  Otherwise, i did not express my satisfaction after every kill.  That is all. 

Not directed toward you at all.  I didnt even noticed any yelling from your team after the first round of the BF3 tournament.  You guys were quite classy even after winning a round by 2 tickets.  I was crapping my pants just WATCHING over Czar and Jack's shoulders.  I could only imagine what was going through your team's heads!  It was insane.

I was talking about some one/thing completely different, as I'm sure DWRoelands was as well.

P.S. - decepticon, I never met you! :(

He's that guy!

For those curious type folks....damn you all sucked down some interwebs!

Thank you for stepping up on that one DWR.

Peeps need to understand there is a Webster definition and the urban dictionary definition. A lot of gamers first thought goes to the urban, but most women I know go Webster on that word.

That BF3 round was the most intense I've ever played and the most fun!
