Thanksgiving is approaching fast. And just what are YOU planning on


doing this year after stuffing your face?



If you said "relaxing"... BZZZT you SUCK! Get off your ass and lets


kill something soldier!



It's time for another Perry-Ohio DeathFest(tm): ThanksGIBBING


Aftermath!



THE TIME: 12:00PM, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30TH FOR 12 HOURS


THE PLACE: THE PERRY SANCTUARY OF SEVERED HEADS AND OTHER


ASSORTED BODY PARTS. THANKS TO A$$-KICKA SUPREME:


the_DM



You better bring a net, the gibs are gonna be a flyin!



New to this game: TeleWeapons v2.1 (always teleports), Capture the


Flag, A LAG-LESS SERVER (oops, damn Verite)!, QTracker (keeps tracks


of scores).



We WILL be recording a lot of demos this time. Teamplay colors WILL


be enforced (via the server and the_DM BASHING YOUR HEAD INTO YOUR


MONITOR) for recordings. :]



The game cap is set at 32. Admission is $5 for Pizza. Bring a 6 or


12 pack of something to drink and share with everyone else. Don't


wanna share? Fine, but bring something for yourself and don't expect


handouts YA LOOOOSER!



Only THREE Extra P133's will be available, TWO are already reserved.


Who will be the lucky third person? HOPEFULLY NOBODY--PLEASE BRING


YOUR OWN COMPUTER!



Long drive ahead? You -MAY- be eligible to shack up at a locals


house. Ask for more information. Bring some raw meat cuz the_DM's


testicles pack a whollop--your eyes will bruised for life! ;p



PLEASE NOTE:



The snow has started falling, so this will be the last game of 1996.


Don't expect another game until the end of February. Do your best to


attend; this'll be it for awhile.



NO IRC CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD BEFORE THE GAME.


HOPE TO SEE YOU AT THE GAME!
