I hope we play more Flatout 2 this year, every year I like it more and more. 

Unfortunately I have found this game easy to play and addicting. I always loved the puzzle quest games and since I am a Marvel fan I downloaded this crack-like game.   It is free to play however  you will probably find yourself dropping some $ on it to expand your roster if you want to be at least semi-competitive.  Anyone else from GC currently playing it?  If so I am looking to join an alliance.  I have put it off for a long time but thought I should look into it jumping into an alliance.  

Pinball

3 was my favorite as well.  I have one of the newer ones which was ok (either 5 or 6 I think).  Really they are the same basic game so why would I spend money to buy the newer version with better graphics but still basically be the same game.  A strategy game like this is not the type of game you buy for graphics but for the game play itself.  High chance that the game play is the same as the older games or worse.

I have been throwing around the idea in my head of FragFest Fort Wayne for years. Its Northeast Indiana and is a central location for persons from Chicago, Michigan, Ohio and not a horrible drive from Canada either. There is an international airport about two minutes from where I work for ease of access for those who travel great distances. There are plenty of locations where this could be held in the downtown area where there is also a newly built minor league baseball stadium and a ton of options for good food and nightlife fun.

 

I feel like the price may become an issue by having it in a city like this, but I have no idea how much it has been to rent the places this had been hosted previous to this year.

 

Thoughts?

Well it would be closer for me but I think it would be farther for the majority of current Fragfest attendees as many of them are from around the Ohio area.  In addition you would probably need to supply are the technical aspects of the event as I doubt they would want to drive all that equipment that far.  

Any update on if we are going to have a Fragfest 2015? 

Interesting. Will you get shot in the neck at some point in the story?

Simply golden Shaft.....

I will be disappointed if Lousiest doesn't show up at a bar in the game with bubblegum shots.

I have that program on Steam but have never used it.

I voted for earlier rather than later as I am going to Gencon  in late July and can't do two weeks in a row with time off for road trips!  

My brother and I will be there sometime on Thursday evening, not sure the exact time at this point.

Jack and I can come Saturday - but that's the only day.   I'll see if we can bring the cornhole boards again.

 

 

 

Has anyone heard if Dragonfire is coming again?  I need to bring a bag of quarters for the air hockey machine - I took too many from her last year. Haha!

Not sure, I know she said she was attending a few months ago but I haven't heard anything from her online or in the forums.  I am assuming she is not since she usually posts in the Fragfest thread at some point.  

Well we usually always have a poker tournament as tradition but I would love to do a euchre tournament as well if there are enough people who play it and are interested.

How many people are actually coming Flitter? I hope it is more than the 8 people on the paid and confirmed tab!

I don't know if there is any greater promotion I can offer than bringing up the xt vs. everyone else game (where the xt guys took on at least 20 people I think).  While it had to be painful for xt guys, it was about the only time the rest of us had a chance of taking any of them down....so if you ever wanted to own the xt guys at Counterstrike, here is your chance to join the Everyone Else team only if you come to Fragfest....so sign up now!  

I also hope we have more than the 8 people signed up on the paid and confirmed list....

I'll bring Bang! and Panic Station unless someone has a copy states side to save me lugging it over the ocean.

Limi, I have a copy of Bang! and the Dodge City expansion I will bring.

In addition I plan on bringing at least the following games in addition to Bang!:

Cash n Guns

Fury of Dracula

Shadows Over Camelot

San Juan

Smash Up

Arctic Scavengers

Arkham Horror (probably just base game)

Condotierre

Boss Monster

Citadels

Conquest of Planet Earth

Pandemic

Timeline

Zombies!!!

Ventura

Started this thread to discuss what computer games, card games (poker/euchre etc.), or board games people are planning on playing at Fragfest.

I will be bringing tons of board games since I own quite a few and I don't get the chance to play them too often. I will post on this thread a list of games I can bring soon that I think people will enjoy. In addition, my brother and I are arriving Thurdsay afternoon/evening to start gaming since we are not golfers!

I booked a room for myself and my brother at the America's Best Value Inn in Streetsboro for $57 per night for two queen beds for 3 nights (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). With tax it came up to $65 per night. It is about 15 minutes from Black Wolf Hall according to google maps. I looked around and it seemed by far the best priced option and the hotel rooms looked decent (of course the pictures don't mean much I suppose). I used a site called Easytobook.com is where I found that rate which at that time they said they still had 7 two queen bed rooms open for that time. Most of the hotels were over $95 per day in the Stow area. Last year I stayed at the Economy Inn which was the closest in distance to Black Wolf Hall. It was ok but somewhat dingy. The price was about $100 per day which I felt was high but I guess there was some country western concert in town that weekend too. I checked them this year and all of their two queen bed rooms were already booked according to their website.

Right now according to the paid and confirmed thread we only have 8 people paid and confirmed. I hope either some people who have paid and just have not posted to the thread or we have a bunch of people that are going to sign up in June.

Thanks for checking into that San! Good to see the server making a comeback. One reason I quit playing CS was I got burnt out on CMM.

Don't feel bad Smeg, I didn't make the list either!

In preparation for Fragfest, I did play for a short time on Saturday right before customs and I had to get out of the server and get back in because a map was giving me an issue. It said I couldn't join because there was no room on the server. Now I know the server was full but I doubt everyone on it at the time had a reserve slot (I could be wrong though). My profile says my membership is paid up until January 2015. Could an admin check to see if I have a reserve slot attached to my name. If I do, then the server must be hopping for everyone to be a member!!

I know the date says July 17 and people usually do golf on Thursday but do we actually have Black Wolf Hall for use Thursday night as well or is it just Friday that we have access to it? I just wanted to know if people could do some computer and board gaming on Thursday night if they were there.

Yeah it played for a good 7 or 8 rounds that way until I finally dropped out because it wasn't close.

For some reason the bot numbers are not working correctly. I was in a game today (season map) where it was myself on the ct side alone along with a bot and there were two other players on the T side in addition to a bot too, making it three on two. Shouldn't the server drop the extra bot when the teams are even (i.e. 2v2)? As it is right now, it unbalanced the team 3 to 2 (not counting the fact the Ts got the extra player on top of that).

Yes the map of warships/forces posed earlier is not classified information nor helpful to any nation because in the age of spy satellites and recon drones/aircraft, such information is known to capable nations way ahead of being reported on a website. In addition, both the US and Russia want each other and the Syrians to know these ships are there, each nation for different reasons though. Hence why both nations came out in the media a few weeks ago and said we are sending X forces to the Mediterranean for X purpose, I remember reading them in the news. The actual icons don't provide where those forces are when they are operational as that is a large sea and they will be moving. It would be similar to an individual saying hey I am in Texas or California. They are not giving away latitudes and longitudes for example.
