So there's my 2cents. I say go to as many as you can and get your Game On!

I think that as long as there are more people, there should be more space. As some of you already have heard, I despised the fact that there were 4 to 6 people to a table. I am a slight claustrophobic, and I like a little breathing room, plus, my computer and monitor typically take up more space than other peoples.

The other thing is the varity of the games. I am currently at a LAN party where half the people attending left, because they found out that not everyone there was going to play CS. Now thats just fucking stupid. And to think, these people call themselvs gamers.

Thats the point. I'm not making a comparison. I greatly love both CPL and TANGO. But I figured I'd see if anyone else despised the CPL as much as the Columnist did. I personally didn't see anything wrong with either TANGO or CPL and just wondered what everyone else thought.

umm...thats about it.

If your gonna go big, ya gotta go big. I personally prefer either 300 people, or 12.

but thats just me.

To have the man that organizes the CPL to claim that he's doing a service to "the gaming community" just for the "love" of the kids and the fans is gutsy. It's gutsy because the man is an investment banker who is in this thing to make money and little else.

Money is **NOT** a bad thing, but for the head of the CPL to be self-serving and hypocritical enough to publicly say something like: "Oh, I know I make a lot of money with the CPL but that's not why I'm doing it. I'm doing this for my daughter so that she will have the things I didn't have growing up in Puerto Rico. I want all kids to benefit from the CPL because my family has benefitted from it. Money's not important when it comes to my passion for helping kids and gamers like me." This isn't a direct quote but it *IS* what the guy has said in the past if you really look at it.

Ted Turner gives a billion dollars to the UN because he says that the "relatively rich" countries like America should do more to help. Believe me, Ted ain't doin' this to make the world a better place - he's doing this to get his name in the paper and feel good about himself. Ted made plenty of money and feels guilty about having all that money for some reason. If he really "believed" in that cause and wanted to help starving babies in some Third-World hole 18,000 miles away he'd quietly take a month off of work, get on a plane and volunteer to plant rice in a village somewhere in Boola-Boola.

NEWS FLASH!: Rich people don't have a responsibility to give back to the world. However, many do and that's a good thing. Unlike many of us rich people have the money to donate for a good cause, but this doesn't automatically make them swell people. There's not a more evil person than the rich man that says: "Don't be concerned with money because money isn't everything. Do what you can to make other's happy." Yeah, easy for a rich man to say - the rich man can afford to say "money isn't everything" because they ALREADY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY. I will never look up to anyone who tells me that I should gladly pay taxes upon taxes for governmental services I'll never use (like Social Security) and then I should gladly pay MORE in "charity" (because if I don't give to charity, I'll be a bad person or, even worse, a greedy capitalist scum) to help those people who won't work because of all the benefits purchased for them by my taxes.

Do I think that TANGO is in this for the money? No, they put together these parties for the love of it. What happens when they become rich off of these parties and still claim to "love it" and say "we're not in it for the money?" Well, because I know at least one of them by his first name and admire his hard work on making TANGO fun, I'll voice my displeasure and disappointment to him and the rest of the guys in TANGO.

Do I think I'll ever have to do that? Absolutely not. These guys at TANGO are very down-to-earth people who will gladly tell the truth: The money is nice and we're happy to get it, but we put it back into the TANGO parties because we want to make it better and make it as fun as when we first rented that room for 28 people in the summer of last year.

That's what makes TANGO superior and why it will remain superior to the CPL no matter how big either organizations get.

That's bad mojo.

You have that right…

Tango wants to stay down-to-earth. Our goal is to make a LAN party that is not a profit organization. Tango is kind of like a unsuccessful politician i.e. a politician that cares about the people. Hope fully tango will not go the way of a unsuccessful politician i.e. they are lost in the swarm of corruption as they quietly are push in the back for being honest and caring about the people more than the next election. However I think tango will rise because we try so hard and give prizes away at the same time with out making it the purpose of our events.

I don’t know the character or his true intentions in “providing” CPL.

I feel the same about hypocrisy. I hope there is no hypocrisy in tango staff or in future events. I can safely say that tango has a desire to stay united as a staff and keep things manageable with out stepping on any ones toes. If you got my subtle nauseas before you will get this one too. I would be insane or a successful politician to say you can make all people happy at all times.

As for rich people and their state of happiness and benevolence, I will say a few things.

I am rich/joy if I keep the two great commandments.
If I don’t all I have is money.

See you at the next tango LAN.
