Welcome! This site provides 2 things:
For Gamers directly - A Resource. OKgamers has been getting Oklahoma out of the stone age, and finding more events and competition for the last 6+ years! Here we are in THE INFORMATION AGE - and we miss tournaments, and gamer events right around the courner, why? Because no one got a flyer? No one casually mentioned it to you?
OKgamers.com is our central location to network - a place to put gaming events and tournaments for all to see. One place you can be like "Hey, I'm bored, I wonder what's going on." Or, "Woah, your throwing a tournament? Have you posted it up on the internet yet? No? Go post it on OKgamers.com".
For Gamers indirectly - A Resource for Businesses. Everyone loves a good event. And within 6 months of starting up OKgamers - we started to have businesses coming to us asking for help; planning, running events, consulting, or maybe all of the above. What we found?
OKgamers working with businesses is a win-win: Gamers get more events, Businesses get more traffic and promotion, and as a "sponsor" or event organizer, OKgamers gets more promotion.
So? Know a business throwing gamer events? Tell them about us.
Know a business needing help with gamer related events? Tell them about us.
As a non-profit OKgamers constantly helps the community; we are your resource for local gaming info, and we kick start more gamer and gaming related events than we could have ever imagined.

"But I already surf my game's website - URLHERE.com"
Sure, the games we play have websites for them usually; but that doesn't help locals who are new to gaming, etc. We need a local State focused selection. We've watched for the last 6+ years as this concept breeds more cross-cooperation, bigger events, and more fun! Why miss that next tournament because it didn't get posted to your game site? Surf your game site, and keep weekly tabs on OKgamers - you never know what will show up as an event!
Welcome to OKgamers.com!

Great job you are doing here Guys, Great Job.

Hi all, I'm Kimberly and I'm addicted to gaming. Haha! J/k. Well, not really. I've been gaming since I was 18, now 30. I found this site by calling GameXchange where I heard there was to be a GH tournament and it had already passed. They directed me here for future info. :)
I love all kinds of games. FPS, Racing games, RPGs, my current faves are GH, Katamari, and Midnight Club 3.
I am a huge Fallout, Diablo, and Starcraft fan. I don't do MMOs anymore though. They just take up too much of my time and I'm a single parent working fulltime and about to start school again for nursing. So there, that's me in a nutshell.
-
Hey there,
Just me again. I found out about this place through Limey Dragon's site and came here looking for some good ol' OKC paper pencils n' dice RPG action.
-SJ
-
I heard about you guys surfing facebook.com pretty cool site. Gonna spam it to all my gamer buddies.

Hey all, Names Mike or Shaggy depends on who ya talk to. I found the site using this "internet" thing that Bob Dole told me about. I just did a Google search for "Okc gamers" and ...Bang this site was in the top ten so I hit it up. I was actually looking for tabletop or PnP gamers but what the ♥♥♥♥♥, video games are cool too so I'll stick around a bit and try to convert some of ya.

Welcome!@#
AAAAND - we'd LOVE TO HAVE MORE TABLETOP / PnP GAMERS / EVENTS!@# But - who's throwing them? If you know anyone, please convince them into posting on the site ;)
Video gamers - seem to just use the internet more. Ironically - LAN gamers - who USE COMPUTERS - don't seem to as much... Nor do pen and paper, etc. So yea - PLEASE - encourage anyone you know having events (aka gatherings, 'days', etc) or tournaments for any gaming in Oklahoma to post here about them - that's what this site is about!@#

I just stumbled upon the site while googling for local tournaments
-
awesome welcome, if you need anything modded PM me and if you need a thread locked ask Godmode, he seems to be really good at that for some reason or another. :)
-
saw you guys at mini con of course really good setup there to
-
I found this stack of flyers somewhere. I dont remember where.
Anyway, I'm a console and PC gamer. I'm known all over the internet as SmackmYackm. OK, maybe not all over the internet, but I do get around.
I've actually been thinking of making my own Oklahoma/midwest/Tulsa-centric website, but I find this place quite interesting. I can't wait to check out some of the events.
-
just googled your name lol there seems to be alot on you. you seeem like a very very big blogger

On behalf of the self proclaimed emperor of Oklahoma welcome to the site
-
I found this site from a girl in a Myspace chat room. Pretty strange eh?
-
A friend of mine introduced it to me when we where shooting a Guitar Hero II tournament last year. Remembered it the other day while looking through some of my video projects.
-
i was in IHOP and heard i language non-gamers wouldnt know to speak. i heard something about lan parties, halo tournaments and the lot. i asked the guy behind me if they were going to set up any COD4 tournaments and he said "yeah just sign up for our forums for more info"
so here i am.
-
That's cool man, I'm glad you decided to check us out. We were throwing around some ideas about improving the okc gaming scene and getting together some monthly/bi monthly tournaments. This month SaintTnias and I(the 2 guys on the left facing the back of your table) are hosting a halo3 tournament in nw okc(there's a thread about it). But in the future we're probably going to just vote for the game played. My GT is skizsm420 tho man, and pretty much all I've been playing lately is CoD4, hit me up if you want to game, and vote for call of duty for the next time(probably bi-monthly, i dunno).
-
Found you guys on a google search for oklahoma lan partys
-
i found out about this game from my friend. he actually has an account on this website. i have been really interested in gaming for a long time and wanted somewhere good to chat with other gamers.

Slipknot0129 is on my friends list and he sent me the link to this place. Thanks, man!
-
A member of DigitPress.com mentioned you. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of you sooner.
-
I started an IRC channel years ago called #okgamers. It was just for counterstrike players/friends that all played together during the week. Eventually we all went our separate ways from the game and someone asked for the channel :)
the rest is history... i think.
-
I did a google search looking for tournaments in the oklahoma area and found okgamers.net

I found it through timmy schorcher !! I guess the hardcore flyers too

My friends brother found this website. I think it was from Google. then he told me. =)
-
Furyswrath sent the link as he wanted me to attend a LAN party you all were hosting. I did a google search for Oklahoma lan party and didn't see you all listed in the first three pages or so...searched for oklahoma gamers and that worked just fine. As a person who's doing a search for LAN parties (though I'm not sure of your history in this area just yet) they'd definitely never find ya. Anywho, just about done with work so I'll get to meet everyone soon.

Google - can only find the content that exists :)
In order for Oklahoma gamers to find - well more LANS? There need to be more lans :) If we have them posted on the site, they'll pop up. For instance - do a search for "Del City Lan". They have events - so we are FIRST on the results for google - linking to one of their previous events...
Welcome everyone new! SoonerB - fair warning, posting THAT large a picture on here, will no doubt garner you creepy gamer stalkers ;) lol

-
Oh...well, I don't fear the stalkers.
I have dealt with them for oh...five years now?
hahah.
And I do it because..the main profile side picture is extremely small.
I'd rather just put it out in the open that I'm a girl..instead of people saying..
you're a girl? is that you? BLAH BLAH BLLLLLLLLLLLAH..ya know?
and actually no stalkers yet from here so I think we're good hahaha.

Hi I just found this site when I was searching for Wizard's Asylum. Seems cool!

Like some of you guys, I did a google search for "video game tournaments in oklahoma" and one of the top sites that came up was okgamers.com. I'm actually hoping that I become part of the community. I, myself, have big plans for my gaming interests.
-
The wonderful world of Google, this site was a revelation to me.
-
New here.
Saw a 2-page spread/advertisement thing in the 'Edmond Outlook' magazine.
I am a PC Gamer, and I see this is a mostly console crowd, but I'll lurk around and see what's going on still.

My buddy, Carlos, told me about this page and thought it might be a good place for me to interact. I have the attention span of a gnat so about the only board game I play is Settlers Of Cataan and I haven't played that in a few years. I'm not even sure if it's popular here, as I was educated on the game back in California.
Anyways, I thought I would say "howdy" and tell whomever that this site is fantastic for spreading the word about events and I'm glad it's here. I hope to chime in or contribute to threads, as they pertain to me. Other than that I'm sure I'll be lurking and learning as I go.
-
I Typed Tulsa SF4 into google. and one of the top links mentioned Okgamers.com

OMG - Cataan is SO DANG popular - so yea, it's definitely played here, I can't get away from it :)
Problem is - do they post threads / talk about it.
Standard Golden Rule on OKgamers and "your favorite game":
A - Is there a thread? Great. No thread - start one in the correct local comp forum.
B - It's rare to get a response instantly, but within a few weeks to a few months - everyone I know gets one (unless your game is old, out of date, etc.)
It can seem hopeless - cause you see threads that "go dead" or interactions that trail off? That's cause once they FIND gamers - they are good - and don't always return to the site to update us hahah. That's really common for RPG / Tabletop / Board Gamers.

Hey - I bet I know you then! Good to see you joined us - I hope if you do end up doing any events, you'll let us know about it here on the forums! Also, if you need help let us know, etc.
StormedTempest - welcome!
For the record - you won't find a lot of "hype" about SoonerCon on the forums due to some internal issues. We didn't get to really work with them early or as indepth as needed. So, some staple convention aspects like getting a gamer pass, etc wasn't worked out - so with no discounts for at the door, the agreement to not do tournaments - was mutual. No tournaments, not as large of a room as we normally do, etc - we decided best to not promote an event in OKC people might be let down for, and simply help Soonercon for their established attendees. If we can get a gamer pass, and some volunteer concessions set up for next year, we'll be out there again! If not - well - there's plenty of things that happen in OKC and Tulsa that we either work with, help, etc - just keep an eye on the site!

My kid was telling me about Tokyo in Tulsa that was coming up and that he and some of buddies are planning on going. So, I thought would check and see what it is all about and the site address for Okgamers, and curiosity got best of me.

Initially I believe I saw the area set up for OKgamers at TCAE a year or two ago (first and only convention, so far!), but just this weekend I was over at my cousin's 30th birthdayand heard OKPlusNerds and OKgamers being tossed around by two people who had attended the luau-themed party--so shout out to Mark to getting me curious again!

I heard about OKgamers at Soonercon in 2011.
-
I became involved with OKGamers when I met Saif in person last October during the Tulsa Tech Careers thing over at the Lemley Campus.

Welcome everyone! Hope you enjoy the site! Definitely keep an eye on the site off and on, and know the Holidays are usually a 'lul' for gamer events; things pick right back up after January though!

I found Okgamers via Nearby gamers. I was told about Nearby Gamers from a guy at an mc chris concert. In Lawton, Oklahoma, we have a Laugh Out Loud, and lately, they've been having gaming tournaments. So if you want to get the word out more, try working something out with them to advertise you or something.

I saw you guys on google. Later on, the guy at Wizard's Asylum handed me a flier.

Happened across you guys two years ago at TNT, but I just decided to fully check you guys out only recently

Knew about you guys for a long time, traveled out to TNT last year thanks to my friends being a bunch o' weaboos. Competed in AE, played Balrog (don't anymore).
Hope to participate some more in the future if more events come to OKC.

I heard about you all from Animefreak and the Wichita FGC.
