Its a great idea and I endorse it fully. When I lived in Slave Lake I setup an annual Lan party called Quake at the Lake. We routinely had 60 to a 100 gamers show up and I can attest as to how difficult it is to syncronize maps and versions. Nightmarish is an understatement. The event would run all weekend starting on a Friday night. It usually took until Saturday to get everyone gaming without grief.. Dan
