howsabout that?

Thanks again for driving all the way down to let me pay.

------------------

The best way to take care of this would be to host more often, like MONTHLY. We're trying to get the room more often, but Plano Center keeps it really booked. We might be moving in the end of August to another, better, bigger location that we can host monthly at, but it's JUST A RUMOR. More to follow.

Oh, and, we could get the room across the hall, but we're already using all the power on that side of the building... sooo...

With paypal, we enabled people to reserve seats. We thought maybe half will prepay. Well, then it became a HUGE deal to prepay because we weren't sure what to do. We had like 5-6 people prepay a day and then within the last 4 days like 50 people prepaid.

We set out emails, we put it on our website, I mean really...you want us to call your house and remind you?

I'm really sorry if you guys didn't get into tango. BUT, if you REALLY want to help tango - you can find a room for us that holds a lot of power and that's not VERY expensive.

BTW, who works on a saturday? sheesh!

If you could post the specs you require for a room, i.e. SqFt, AV set, Power, Furniture, etc. We might get some response from the Tango public in the search for new LAN quarters. I used to have a hook-up at the Westin, don't know if she still works there, but could give her a call if you post the specs.

I'll know by tonight whether I'd be selling or not. If its alright with the tango staff, I'll post again if my spot is up for grabs.

Not only that but I haven't had internet access in the past 4 weeks. I think my gay-ass dsl company has just bit the dust. I'm not sure because I CAN'T GET ONLINE TO CHECK. The only time I have to post is when I have free time at school. I am one of the few people that Satanic DJ knows who actually owns a credit card. But I'm not about to use my credit card on the school servers.

And a personal note to DJ. How are you gonna get to the party dumbass. The only people you know that could give you a ride are people that didn't pre-pay. Have fun hitch-hiking dickhead.

The room we're in now is 2,780 sq.ft. So idealy, we need 3000+ sq.ft.

For AV stuff, all we really need is a good spot to put a LCD projector. We could also use some good overhead speakers for music, but neither of these are required.

For furniture, just lots and lots of banquet tables (8x3 ft.) and resonably comfortable chairs.

And then there's power, gets ya every time. Currently we have 20 20-amp circuits. Each circuit holds about 6-8 computers. We already pushing our limits with 125 people, so we'd probably need upwards of 25-30 circuits, but it depends on how many people we can fit in the room.

Whatever you can look into would be great. Email me back at dune@tangolan.com.

She can give me a ride.

They've had some growing pains, but thats a good sign. It means they're doing things right.

I say keep up the good work dune and company, and I'll make sure to get all my friends to prepay for the next one.

BTW, anyone who didn't get a spot and still wants some lan action can always go to dlp. www.dfwlanparty.com

As I recall, the first time tango had an event in the present room, not enough people came to cover the expenses and that ended up coming out of their pockets. The pre-pay will guarantee how many are coming. Before pre-pay, only about 55%-65% would show up.
However, I do think that timeslot feature should be put to better use. Even though I regestered early and pre-paid right when it became available. I understand the frustration of registering 2 months early and then being kicked out because of someone who came in and pre-paid a week before the event.
When registration for the next event comes around, pre-pay will be there from the start. no excuses for early registration but no pre-pay.

"Money talks, Bullsh*t walks."

late 20s?

jeeze....

I'm 17 dude.

Car my ass... oh wait I'm sorry, CAR HER ASS.

Crusty you are possibly the worst judege of age I have ever spoken to. Dj is NOT in his late twenties. Try more along the lines of mid to early teens.

I understand and appreciate your reasoning but if the pre-pay thing will now be continually instigated at all future TANGO events, I'm afraid I won't be attending any of them in the near future. I don't like putting my credit card number up on the net no matter HOW "secure" they say that my number will be, and I rarely have room on my card anyway.

But enuff of my ranting. In response to the dissapointing TANGO registration BS I got together as many of my friends that couldn't go (about 10) and several other people. We are planning to rent out the party house next to my friends apartment. There will be a LAN going on there this saturday and it will be about 5 bucks a head to help pay for the renting. Anyone who got buggered out of this TANGO might want to drop me a line. We'll try to save some room. It'll hold about 30+ peeps.

If I seemed like I was bashing TANGO I'm sorry. Like you said, these are some of most organized LAN peoples I've ever met, and I like you definately within the first 125 people to register. I love the events and love to game, but some of the stipulations of the event are just a little to much effort to make me want to bother with. The only real problem I have is the pre-pay. But they made the decision so I guess I just got bumped out of the loop on this one. It's gotta happen to somebody. I guess it was my turn.

But good luck on whatever happens and good gaming to you all.
