Have a good break bro. C-Ya l8r

Um, I won't tell you how warm it is here right now at 9 PM in Phoenix but I'll jump on the server and give it a go. Okay, I'll tell you, 72

Depending on times but hoping that it works out I'll be 100

Put me down for 1.

131, oh what fun!

I've been talking with some of my west coast counterparts and most folks that are considering going and just stuck on one thing, brining our machines with us. I'll be flying out and I don't relish the idea of trusting an airline with my machine or my monitor. I'd hate to get there and spend me time twiddling my thumbs while I try to find a replacement motherboard or monitor. I've heard tale of a rental sponsor? Has that materialized at all? Of course, this would be a great excuse to buy a new laptop . . . or in reality a portable heat generator known as a desktop replacement laptop. . . . {Q} (Quatele)

Im in, if there is a slot!

{Q}s in!

{Q}'s in.

Current: Ping averages 35 to 40 ms, load times and a bit choke Test: Ping averages 20-23 ms Very nice, nearly 0 choke. Decent load times

I can't claim to be an expert specifically in gaming servers but I've worked in IT for 13 years, part of that time as a network admin, so I can grasp the concepts fairly well. I'm purely a #3/West player and mostly only have to time to play on the weekends. So I guess I'm speaking from the member perspective here in saying I'd like to see GC remain a place where I can maintain a rock solid connection with low latency and as little choke as possible. As I understand it today, and I may be wrong, my $50 membership was one time, but I'd gladly pay that year over year to hold reserved spots on quality servers. Heck, I'd easily pay $10 a month for such a service as long as I could kick a few annoying fools off our servers from time to time that are ruining the game. So if quality is a matter of money, I'd ask the GC Board to make the determination of what that quality costs and present it to us rank and file members to see if we can help bring the funding up to the level needed to maintain that quality. I'd also like to hear an opinion on this from other rank and file members as well. {Q}
