Date: 22 Jul 1996 17:28:26 +0100 Organization: Splat Lines: 30 Sender: tony@mantis.co.uk Approved: quake@mantis.co.uk Message-ID: <31F25578.4A87@whitefire.com> Splat is putting together a fragfest in NYC, for early september. We have a great location in Greenwich Village willing to let us use their space, and machines. The site has a full bar, restaurant, and a large projection screen (so people waiting to kill, can watch the action). They have 6 pentiums, and we may be able to up the number to 8. Obviously, we know the more machines, the more fun...so we will try to get as many as possible. Right now, we are planning on a five hour continuous deathmatch, where the strong survive, and the weak sit broken at the bar drowning their sorrows. The thought is to have 15 minute rounds (time it..longer than you think)...top player (or players, depending on final number of machines) stay for next round...like a pool table...if you are good...you keep playing. We figure, since you are gonna hang out on a friday or saturday anyway...might as well do it where you can deathmatch, and watch some kickin action. In addition, if we get enough interest, we can set this up as a monthly event, so there's always the chance to get revenge! If you are interested in being there...eMail me at splat@whitefire.com and I'll add you to the mailing list. All we need is enough people to show interest and it's a done deal! -Kereberus There is also a web site where we will be posting details as they unfold. www.whitefire.com/splat
