Local LANs
« on: May 22, 2006, 12:40:43 pm »
Well it is a sad day in my life. Yesterday the Local Gaming Cafe closed for good due to bullshit from the land lord and the owner (A very good friend of mine) cant afford it anymore. Iam so bumed out. I use to love going here and just gaming the shit out of His PC's [And he had a Linux box for the programmers, OWN3D] It was so much fun becuase he would hold WCIII tournys almost every month and everybody played WoW and CS.

I was just wondering if any of you guys go/went to any good LANS that you rember in your heart. "sigh" The good old days.  :-[

Convince him to find a new place and open it back up. :)

Let him know how much you appreciated the place; that usually means a lot to people who've put as much work as he did into a business.

This town has nothing like that.  There are 2,000 people that live here, so yeah... :P

Yeah, I have the same problem.  I live in ParkVille which is inside the Kansas City (Missouri) Metro, so if I went into the city I bet I could find some... But, I am lazy. :D

Anyway, sorry to hear that your place was closed down.

That's not always easy. Blizz charges licensing fees to have things like WC3 tourneys.  :-/

Yeah, I've heard that before.  However, since he's probably already done that, I would imagine he'd either already have the privilege or would have less trouble attaining permission.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

We had a similar thing happen here except it wasn't a LAN center.  It was Skater Island, which if any of you have ever played Tony Hawk im sure you know it.  It was one of the first huge indoor skate parks in the owrld but the landlord didnt like skateboarding so he evicted the owners.

There has to be a legal standing for evicting a tenant, there has to be a breach in the lease, the landlord cannot evict someone due to not liking a certain sport.
Back on topic, we have a LAN pictures I don't go there much anymore though, since they only play COD now, and only playing COD for 6 hours isn't appealing to me.

It's the landlord's property.  As long as he's not causing financial harm to the person he's evicting, he can do whatever he wants.

He is depriving them of the ability to earn money. :P

Maybe in your state, but in Massachusetts its not this way.  I just happen to know this because my dad owns a few buildings in Boston.  The only times he has been successful in evicting tenants was when they didn't pay rent for about six months after the state stops picking up the tab.

I wouldn't say that is intrinsically a right of someone who doesn't own the land.

There is a really nice, well kept LAN Center in Winnipeg. I know the owner too, he is cool. They have really nice PC's and they keep everything up-to-date. They even sell Bawls!!

Move to Winnipeg, There is plenty of room for you here! :)

Except it's Canada.  Eww.  It was bad enough when the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix.
