How the months have flown, and now the nerdgasmic explosion of fun that is MonsterLAN has arrived once more to rob me of many nights of sleep and commit me to many hours of preperation. All in the name of building community. Yeesh.

Follow up:

I've got the tournament games survey ball rolling now, so hopefully Monday I'll have opportunity to polish it up and open it to the masses. Also hope to get a mass email put out for it as well, this will serve twofold - primarily the obvious task of getting those who don't often drop into the site to come and vote for the tournaments, and secondly to actually advertise the event itself. Getting those who maybe forgot they've got an account with us or have drifted off to return to the sweet red and black loving folds of MonsterLAN's bosom. And if that's not an immediately disturbing mental image I'm not sure what is.

I know in my tourney thread I said I wasn't going to contaminate peoples thoughts, but this is my blog so I can cheat if I want to; Likely contenders this time around will be UT2004 since UT07 isn't looking like appearing any time before the end of 3rd quarter and '04 has a great history at ML, also probably Battlefield 2 which is still insanely popular online, and lastly I'm tipping Counter-Strike: Source or Call Of Duty 2 to round out the 'big three' MonsterLAN tournaments for XIV.

I know those are all shooters. Yes I want something other than shooters as well. No I don't think we'll get anything other than shooters, it's one of those things. Power to the people, death to law & order and all that.

Current plans behind the scenes are sounding rather awesome if we can pull it all off, still need some details and uh... a plan, but otherwise it's looking to be the best gig yet if we can get the attendance.
