LAN Center in OKC HARD CORE LAN CENTER
« on: August 27, 2008, 11:05:25 PM »
I was going to wait to post this after the final Promo (that will potentially migrate to Frag Fest) *hint* But I couldn't help but post... I love OKgamers so much because I been working on this project for three years and its about to happen this fall. Now finally I will answer some of your questions. Fire away!!!! One luxury about the LAN Center is we will host your tournaments for you and you dont have to bring ANYTHING but your self and a controller if you want. Also when we host your tournaments we won't charge you but we will charge your participants a tourny entry fee. We are so excited about this. I know you guys are too! Alright....... LETS HEAR IT?????

So, exactly what will you have?

I used to go to Cyber Quest all the time, Will it be like that? Lots of computers and some consoles, or is it mainly consoles? Oh and as a suggestion you should sell BAWLS cause I would come all the time just to buy em haha

So if we host our tournament at your LAN and you charge the participants a tourny entry fee, will they get all the money as prizes or do you keep a percentage?  We give out the entire entry fees as prizes because we are not in it to make any money.  So what would be our incentive to have you host our tournaments?

Thanks

There is the thing about you not in it for the money we have t make money thats how this business is going to be able to stay alive by making money. And really how many people do you have show u for your tournaments? and what games do you have? Out of our 2 tourneys we have hosted our second one was probably one of the biggest in OKC history. Your incentive would be that a lot more people would show up because we would be advertising and hosting it. The people that go to your tournaments will be happy with the prizes we give, they never disappoint. Im not trying to be rude what so ever I'm just telling you what you incentive would be.

We are going to have mostly consoles. We are going o have mostly Xbox 360's but we will have at least 6 Wii's and at least 4 PS3's.

We do plan on having BAWLS and other energy drinks there for your guys' pleasure.

what kind of tv's will you be using? will they be lcd monitors or sdtv crt tv's?

We are going to have, for the 360's, Viewsonic LCDs. We arent sure what the TVs are going to be for the other systems, more than likely bigger plasma tvs.

Don't understand your rudeness.  We've had anywhere from  20 - 50 show up.  As far as making money, I would rather the gamers make money than your business.  That is why I was wondering about the logic for you to host.   It would just taking money from the gamers. That is all I am saying.  We run Madden, NCAA Football, NBA, FIFA - only sports, we aren't interested in the other games.

I hope your center goes well, it is just not for us at this time.  On second thought, if you donate the $5000.00 prize money, we would be glad to have you host ALL of our tournaments! :)

No see your getting it all wrong, you rather a company that dont give a crap about gaming get business from gamers??? that doesnt make any since... We honestly dont need your help with the tournaments believe me this is going to work, we are NOT CYBER QUEST... LOOK EVERYBODY this includes OKGTOUR, GAMERS, HATERS, NOOBS. Gaming is ALL about PROMOTION. With out promotion its nothing.. you've had these huge tournaments??? No ones heard of them... which they probably was huge I dont doubt that, but If it wasn't known on OKgamers it didnt exist in my opinion.. Another thing is okay we are not making millions.. we are making a fraction of what we pay out.... you said donate $5000 dollars to your top gamer.. what would we get?? Nothing.... Incredible pizza doesnt let you come and win prizes for free. Chuck E Cheese doesn't, Celebration Station doesn't let you win prizes for free, and MLG doesnt let you win prizes for free.... Heck going to school for your company isnt free.. theres ALWAYS... REPEAT ALWAYS something to a prize. I've hosted tournaments and people dont mind spending 10 maybe 20 even 50 to make 500... and if they fail some of them get mad and try again.. some of them give up.. But Hard Core Gamers dont give up. So good luck if you dont want to use us.. I just cant believe you rather use a business that just wants customers for money versus we wont customers to come pay money and have a great chance to win money and have fun.

Lighter note we are going to have sports leagues, Halo leagues, and SC4 leagues and so on. (Basically all games but most popular first) The more participation the bigger it will get. We have so many sponsores ready to invest on what we are about to do its crazy. It will all show when we open and as our success builds.. We are going to have more then 4 ps3's Raider. I wouldnt even worry about how many systems right now.. just know that We do birthday parties, Come and have lan parties, We will do montages for you on whatever games you like to play to upload on myspace and youtube, and my personal favorite once it has been open long enough we will customize your console hardware. More questions please? Oh yea again Cyber Quest R.I.P we will be 100x better.

Why all the hate?  Timmy, you are misunderstanding our logic.  If we host our tournaments at your Lan center and the gamers pay their 25.00 fee to you, will you be able to payout as follows?:



Madden Champ 2000.00
Madden Runnerup 500.00

NCAA Football Champ 2000.00
NCAA Football Runnerup 500.00

Team Champions  2000.00

Plus $300.00 per tournament to winners and runner up of qualifiers?
If you can promise that, we would love to have you host all our tournaments, it would be a heck of a lot easier for us.
Another thing, I don't know where you got the idea that you need our help with tournaments, no one even mentioned anything like that.
Not sure why HxC is so defensive.  We are minding our own business and hopefully we can all get along!  Good luck with you LAN center and not sure where you get the idea that no one has heard about them, only ones we care about are the participants. Could care less if others haven't heard about us.  :)

Hay man I see both side here... but I see one big mess up on your part... you said you had anywhere from 20-50 ppl show... then how did you pay out a $6500+ if you charged $25... there is no why... the math just doesn't add up... to get $6500+ you would have to have 2600  ppl paying $25 each... so why would you expect HxC to take a lose that big... that would kill there center... I just don't see any logic in that... and even to get $6500+ from 50 ppl you would have to pay like $130 per gamer... no gamer will do that... sorry... just no logic...
