Walter, I've believed you to be a legit player for a long time now. You've now said that you'd "Greyhound it" to a LAN. While Austin, TX is pretty damn far from VA, we've got people here who want you to prove yourself, and are willing to give you a place to stay for a weekend. It might be the same cost to fly (probably $200-300 round trip) vs Greyhound, and if you're planning on going to Quakecon, we'll be there too, so I understand if you want to wait. If it's Quakecon or a small LAN here (we can set up a CTF LAN for that weekend; we have a solid group of players), I'd like to end this once and for all, no matter which way it goes.
I have some conditions:
1) No destruction of any property, even your own; that's messy.
2) You must use a computer provided to you; it's not super awesome, but runs the shit out of some Q3. You just have to bring your keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and headphones. Yes, we have good CRTs.
3) All details will be made public; any pictures/demos/videos/accounts/transcripts taken over the weekend will go to youtube/ESR/etc.
I'll try to get daler to come to town, I could probably get cyan to come play QW with you too :), but you'd at least get to play myself (yeah lol) and maps (out of shape). Without cyan and daler, we're not the best competition, but maps and I have played at a fairly high level at some point(s) in Q3's life, so we can at least put up a fight. Or not, if you're as good on LAN as you are on the internet.
*** Edit - since the "conditions" are getting some flack, it's just a CYA thing in case something net-worthy happens. I destroyed a keyboard (for lolz) at a LAN a year ago, and we are STILL finding keys from it scattered about; it was hilarious and well worth it, but I don't live there :) Also, I'm not going to type every word every person says at the LAN, but I'm the type of person who, if asked, wouldn't post something if requested not to. I just want that to be out there so that funny pictures/demos/etc. can go up without any BS.
