Mr Evil, for those of us who could not come to Gumpcom (and for that we did not pick up ALL your prizes - heh) care to enlighten us a little more?

[DJ_Evil]

Sure dude,

Gumpcom is Scotland's largest gaming community website with over 400 members from across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

We tend to hold large 100+ man LAN parties in Central Scotland every 2 months or so, the signup for GL16 is open now and the LAN dates are the 3rd of Nov till the 5th of Nov. The price for first timers is £20 and if you have been before, which I know some of you have is £25 :)

We run tournaments for the most popular games including CoD2,CS:S,DoD:S,BF2 and DoW.

I believe pause won both BF2 and DoW at the last event :)

If you swing on over and signup to the forums at www.gumpcom.com you can ask any further questions you have about the events and the forums also include pictures of most of the previous events :D

updated my other post too :p

Hey Gump, good to see you on the forums.

It looks like this is gonna clash with our February LAN, unfortunately.

A good bunch of us should hopefully be at another Gumpcom LAN soon - I know that the few of us that went to GL15 had an awesome time and plan to go back at some stage.

Cheers.

[Strings]

Yeh we definitely need to separate the dates in the future. So we can come to Gumpcom and some of you lot can come to Pause.

[gump]

Yeah would be good to see the Pause guys back in the future :)

[Bluepixie]

i actually booked the second weekend of the month to avoid this! Why did you choose the second week rather then the usual first? :S

[DJ_Evil]

sorry :(

I totally screwed up when telling people the dates of this LAN on MSN etc :(

This probably caused a fair bit of confusion! :(

March I HOPE to HELL will be my first proper Pause LAN you guys roolz :D
