Hey all,
Just wanted to take a minute and reply to this "issue" involving PDO and Fatty. I had a "issue" with Fatty as well, and wanted to share the outcome. I attended FF-04 and while I was setting up my PC, I took off my Oakleys and placed them next to my PC. About 15 minutes later they came up missing, and I spent the bulk of the Lan-party looking for my gear. I was there for maybe 36 hrs., and probably spent about 5 of them in front of my PC. Aside from losing my rather expensive shades, and having PC "issues" limit my playing time (thanks a million Mother), I still had a GREAT time. I credit this experience directly to Fatty and the rest of the Coalition. Because of his viament insistence that players stick to the rules, and because of his efforts, the Coalition has turned into a GREAT group of people. I can honestly say that I enjoyed the company of EVERY SINGLE COALITION MEMBER. As most of you CS vets are aware, that is no small feat considering the type of community CS has become. (Surf the Steam forums for a sample). Needless to say, considering the situation I was in that weekend, (brand new $150 shades coming up lost/stolen, my "1337 m4ch1n3" trying to take a dumper, going to the party unprepared with lodgings and sleeping UNCOMFORTABLY in my car), I still managed to have a GREAT time. I believe this would have NOT been possible if I had lanned with any OTHER group. I met ALOT of awesome ppl there, and give a good chunk of the credit to Fatty. His insistence on maintaining a "fun atmosphere" while playing, has turned a group of CS players into a close-knit, fun-loving bunch. I look foreward to FF-05.

P.S.- For the record, 20 minutes after leaving FF-04, I got a cell call from Fatty.
He called to tell me that he FOUND my Oakleys while breaking down the event room, and would get them to me ASAP. I can't tell you how much my eyes appreciate your good-nature.
P.S .S. - You go Amy(Mrs. Fatty)!! It was WAY out of line the way PDO involved you in the small, stupid dispute he was having with Fatty. I'm guessing PDO's issues go WAY beyond the way Valve is releasing updates, or how Fatty talks to him.
