What is Jefferson Cyberathletics?
Who are we? What do we do? Well, first off, we are gamers. We love the thrill that gaming provides and the social aspects of getting together with friends to do something we all enjoy together. That aside, we are a not-for-profit organization consisting of three people:Timothy O'Brien Event Coordinator
Shannon Stephens Treasurer/Purchasing
Greg Gulley Logistics/Support
We primarly organize LAN party type events in our local area. Never been to a LAN party? First, you really need to crawl out of that hole you've been living in. Second, read on and learn!!
What is a LAN party?
LAN parties are named after the connection that links multiple computers together, called a LAN (Local Area Network). This network allows multiple computers to play in the same game at the same time. Do you remember all that drilling and yelling you heard around your college residence hall? It was probably just two creative neighbors sending a cable through the wall for a little one-on-one death match. Now multiply that by 300 gamers and throw in unlimited caffeinated beverages, and you've got an idea what a LAN party is.Intrigued?The War Begins....
Time to throw another event...
RETROCON 2008
This will be a 25-50 gamer event held locally here at Karma Games. Your brave Event Coordinator is currently working out the specifics with his crew, but as always it will be the awesome experience that only Jefferson Cyberathletics can bring you. I've contacted some great sponsors, and we will have the same local support as always. On the table for games includes a ton of oldies but goodies plus some of the hottest titles on the shelf today. The only thing that is guaranteed at this point is the Starcraft: get ready for it! event. This will prepare you for the mind blowing experience of StarCraft II when it is released later this year.
