Yeah the weather is always great in Melbourne :roll:

Sounds like a great idea though. Even though i would love to play, Cairns is just about the furtherest you could get from Melbourne and still be in Australia. Good luck with it all, i hope it takes place.
isn't your state's capital closer to Melbourne than it is to you ?

why don't you rent a big bus and pile in with your buddies, and take a road trip to the big city? along the way, you can wear fancy outfits on the roof of the bus and do crazy dance routines to 70's music in small towns at their pubs!!! it would be really cool... or at least, that is how i remember Priscilla, Queen of the Desert...-0

unfortunately that wouldn't be appropriate for the tropics going south....too much organza and taffita....way too hot....even though "Finally" by Ce Ce Peniston (but the 7in version) is one of my favourite pieces of music...btw...i knew the guy in Sydney that Priscilla was about....he was married and had a son...says a lot of the so-called straight world doesn't it owenshooter!??

i just mean the nature of CC players in general!!! can you imagine a speed freestyle game with the guys in the same rule? someone thinks someones tactics are cheating, someone calls someone a wanker in the game chat.. BOOM!!! someone hit upside the head with a laptop and lack is flying to do larry king live defending his site!! so damn cool...-0


the rules for the tournament have not been decided...but it will be open to ALL premium members...can we stop worrying about whether we will kill each other guys...all the Oz players I know are cool, calm and collected... I just am trying to ascertain if there was interest in meeting and playing together...


She obviously hasn't met me yet . . . . . :twisted:

That's 3 players from Cairns. Perhaps the City folk should bring the tourney up to the tropics.Host it on the esplanade, where the losers would be entertained by naked backpackers & late night piss-ups at the lagoon.

Either way, I intend to be wherever its held. No more belting the monitor with my head, wishing i could reach through it and bash the bastard that just ruined my life - its the real deal now baby :twisted:

It is a great fan club. I especially liked the cookies Mamma Lackattack sent to the last meeting. It was so cute how she made them into little turtles with a fro. So creative that lady is. We really should send her a thank you card.

Owen, lets let this thread not be about you eh? ;)

Lets keep it on the topic of who is or isn't interested in going.

deliaselene, consider starting a list on your first post of people who have said "yes I'm interested" and "I'm committing to it if it happens"

If anyone wants to run something like this at a gathering in their own city/country drop Lackattack or me a line and we'll talk :)
