Dolemyte Commander Posts: 1116	Posted on Sat Mar 1, 2003 8:17 am No, I think I know your answer. But, I don't think the two of us (as good as we may be) would be able to take on 8 and be successful.

Dolemyte Commander Posts: 1116	Posted on Mon Mar 3, 2003 7:21 am HA!!! I was reading more about this and they are actually going to have the games at NetCafes. They actually expect groups of 8 throughout the country to show up at cafes and compete. I'm sorry, but I don't believe any of these groups will be old enough to drive. I find it very hard to believe they will get the same level of competition they would have gotten with and "online" competition.
