    Queens can be good play. I think DiMaga uses lots of queens early on to allow him to macro up.......

    So was in the 5 star cafe today. In broken english i found out that he has 18 machines with (or that can run) starcraft II,
    But i don't think i'll be able to organise much for this tourney beyond this, gotta sort out a lotta life stuff. Girlfriend stuff, exams, jobs and moving out. Lotta hassle.

    So anyone wanna take it from here?

    The guy in 5 star says that the place on liffey street is an extension of their cafe.
    They don't normally open for 24 hours, but if you book in advance, they will keep the place open for a lan party.
    He asked me to get him the number of players and the date that we want the venue, and then he'll quote me a deposit price, which wouldn't be too much i think, prob a tenner each i'm guessing.

    I'd love to go, as long as it's on after my last exam (20th of January) and there's no skill requirement. I'm pretty useless.. :(

    I'd be up for this if free. I'm not very good at SC2 though so I would hope for a kind format so that everyone gets a few games - long and expensive way from Limerick!

    If that was the case if would probably be all "And now he is throwing down..wait...wait...oh, oh no"

    And

    "I'm not a fan of that strategy"

    1> all nighter or day time hours?
    All nighter!! Probably wouldn't go if it were a daytime thing tbh, I don't really like the idea of having to sort a hostel, or trying to get home late in the evening. Wouldn't mind if I had a spin, but I doubt I can get a spin.

    It's times like this I wish I'd learned how to drive :)

    2> do you want other games involved?
    I'm only interested in SC2, but if there are other games to be played I'll play them, badly :)

    3> how long do you want to be there for?
    At least 10 hours

    4> How will you be travelling?
    Bus or train I guess, whichever's cheaper and most convenient.

    5> Where are you travelling from?
    Bandon, West Cork

    6> any extra thoughts?
    I second the pizza idea.

    All nighter tbh

    2> do you want other games involved?
    Sure, to kill time, games like sc1, wc3 and aoe :)

    8 hours minimum tbh, from 9pm till 5am.

    motorbike, car or bus.

    Travelling from lucan, so if someone needs a lift, gimme a call.

    I think there's only 18 pc's capable of playing starcraft II, so if we have more numbers, then people will need to swap out the pc's to get time playing sc2.
