Eric and I were talking a couple days ago about this and we thought that this might be a great way to garner support for the site and help us get into the "business." Our ultimate goal is to get enough name recognition and third party support to host a convention (more details on that at a later date). Also it seems fitting. RP is the ultimate and most versatile video game because it uses a gaming console more powerful than any conceivable, and will remain that way for decades if not more. It uses your imagination and is as powerful as you want to make it with more possibilities and "alternate endings" than any video game packed with bonus features and extras. So, it's only fitting that we, as gamers, become professional gamers and venture into other fields.
So here's what I wanted to know. Most of this community is in the U.S., so I'm sorry international members this may start out a bit difficult for you guys. If we get big enough, we will definitely compete internationally. But for the U.S. and nearby residents, I wanted to know how many people would be interested in forming a group which we can launch under a name associated with gwing.net and become professional gamers? This will require proficiency in Quake 4, Unreal Tournament 2004, Counter-Strike, among others. Don't worry, if you're not an FPS gamer, we will need RTS gamers as well that are proficient in Warcraft III, StarCraft (no rules), and others. I don't expect anyone to be professional quality yet, but that means we will need to train on a regular basis online (Yes, that means legit copies of the games are needed).
The final and I think most demanding requirement is the necessity to attend a nationally recognized video game tournament. I will be making a list of some bigger tournaments with dates and locations to help you guys out with scheduling and stuff, but all I need right now is to know that some of you would be willing to travel at least short distances (say four - six hours driving time) from your location to attend.
So, if you are at all interested in this, please let me know. Thoughts or concerns about this should be posted here as well so we can have an open discussion on this. I am serious about this and I've made this my little project to support, so I want to know if I will have enough people to make a name in the industry. I will post more details if there are people who take an interest in this.
And lastly, if you win prizes or what have you, they are yours to keep to do as you please with them. All that we ask is that you keep in mind your roots and that Eric has to pay to keep this place up and running and still manages to keep it free to the public. The bill for this place is an insignificant amount of money compared to the cash awards and prizes and even a small portion of that would help fund gwing.net for a long period of time.
