THAT is the problem.

With XBL - most gamers are lazy, and don't lan.  Heck, even when we have Halo setups that we convert to GoW2 - we barely get anyone there unless we've had someone like Godmode or a GoW head rallying the troops to show up, etc.


OKgamers.com, a site focused on ALL GAMERS - only has events for "video games" because that seems to be the only crowd that CARES about having more events.  (Tabletop is niche I guess, CCG have shops, LARPer's and computer LANs have their own structures and work with the same people we do on occasion...)

So - in a way, we are just doing what we can to serve those who care.  Same thing happens within the video game genre however - if a FPS doesn't WANT to show up?  Then no one does.  We could try and get funding / prizes / etc - but OKgamers is all voluntary, and unless someone STEPS UP to do it, it's not going to get done.  Also - why throw funding and efforts towards a crowd that won't even show up - that's MIGHTY depressing to do all that effort and not even get any reward for the site, community, etc.

I've done what I can for the communities I've had connections for.  If you've got time, connections, etc - we've got ways to facilitate - you've just got to step up and act to see anything done.

We've got a big event in 1/23, and then another event a few weeks after that; perfect time to launch a new game at the Feb event.  The event in Feb - has space as far as I know it - now is the time to act if your going to.

Feb slot - if you didn't know - is closed at this point.

There are events in April, and June that have "space" - but we work with the communities that EXIST and WANT events.  Smash and Halo and any active community talks the talk, and then shows up with hardware - if your going to have events like them, you'll need to follow that lead.

Did somebody say Godmode?




I don't really play anymore, but I could probably get Redmen to go and I could probably be convinced to go lol
