Not a bad story, brought back memories of the different subnets at my college, some of the clans that started, and the (sadly) real life conflicts that came as a result between people who didn't even know each other.



At our school, I recall thinking it was really pathetic to watch a group of guys come with full intent to beat someone else up in the quad just because he shot them more than they liked, thus was obviously a hacker. But, on the flip side, there were some fun casual friendships that came as a result, as well, and in general it was fun playing and hosting one of the main servers.



So most of your article I thought was well done. However, I will take exception to one point, and that is how much of a fuss you make over people "stacking" clans. Sure, playing with a group of random buddies can be fun. Playing basketball with your buddies on your team is fun too.



However, some people want to play on a higher level than they can with just a normal group. Do people whine that their school's football team is a bunch of "stackers" instead of just grabbing a random group of buddies and letting them all play? No, they pick the best, the most skilled players, and even if they don't know each other to start out, they often become friends over the course of their playing together.



So yeah, I felt you somewhat stained the quality of this record of your school's LAN experience by putting a bit too much "we weren't as good, so we're going to complain about the fact that they actually had good players" in there.



Besides that one problem, though, I felt it was quite an enjoyable read, probably even more so for those who were in some way involved in the events. :)

Well obviously if CS was a varsity event, we would want to put together the most 'stacked' team of elite acadiaCSers to destroy any opposition. But CS isn't a varsity event, it's more like an intermural. No one deliberately seeks out the best basketball players to put together an abnormally dominant intermural basketball team. Intermural teams are usually consisting of a group of friends, and thats how (in my opinion) CS teams (on university lans) should be played.



Sure [7th]/[GF7] wasn't the top team, as we weren't a 'stacked' team. But we didn't suck either. We'd kick the ass of every other 'non-stacked' team, so I wouldn't say that we were complaining. Although it would have been nice if the 'stacked' team didn't exists, so it would be a better tourny to determine which team is truely the best. It's easy to see which team is stacked, and therefore you can easily figure which team will win. That kinda sucks. Competition is more fun.

Excellent.
