The day is Friday the 14th for the day for the game, That night
when we're done at Gigabits we will be going to BlueDragon's.
There will be machines so if you want to keep gaming you can.
The time will came later in this thread,Like I said this thread is for
updates no trash talking.
About T-shirts that can be posted in here, Crazy Joe your idea is
good so far just Florida has to be blue and Michigan red.
http://icrontic.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=24825&d=1203143213
I think the front on the pockets should have the cross flags on the
pocket and over the pocket, http://home.messiah.edu/%7Epb1160/flags.gifI think it should have your team.
Like IC Rebels and IC Yankees
Let see if we can get together on this it would be nice to wear into
Gigabits.

Yeah I was using Gate's stuff he did good with it :D
Now the flag for the North we have to have more input,
unless you speak for your team.

OK, so here's a link to the shirts that I have set up on CafePress... Is there any cheaper place to get them printed?

The South
http://www.cafepress.com/iccivilwar.229714094

And since we all know that everyone in the North is yeller, they have their own special shirt

The North

Here are the images I used.

DogDragon

18 Feb 2008, 1:39pm

I like the back, But the front? I don't know. I still like http://home.messiah.edu/%7Epb1160/flags.gif
with {IC} South over it
Also Joe what's up with this
http://icrontic.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=24856&d=1203325816
Are you saying the South is going to lose before we even start?
But so far for the Rebels the two choices for the front are
what Joe showed you or what I said it to be.
So {IC South} Vote so we and get this out of the way.
Well {IC North} what do you think of the shirt for the North ?
Thanks Crazy Joe for your work on this and if no one on the South
votes, than Crazy Joe we will use your idea you did the work :)

Crazy Joe

18 Feb 2008, 5:37pm

I most certainly do not think that we are going to lose before we even start, I was just thinking up something that goes with "The South will rise again" for the North. For the text is {IC} South good, or would {IC South} be better? Also I have a clearer version of the crossed flags that I can use for the image on the front if that's what everyone would prefer.

I like {IC South}

Crazy Joe

20 Feb 2008, 2:19am

Any other thoughts on the shirts guys?

fatcat

20 Feb 2008, 2:27am

{IC} South
{IC} North

{IC} is out TF2 clan tag

DogDragon

20 Feb 2008, 3:17am

I want 2 t-shirts so Crazy Joe that's my order one large and one XL
thanks ahead of time :)
It's for me and my wife ( she's not playing But she's my wife)
other wise I'll be wearing a tight shirt to the LAN

Crazy Joe

20 Feb 2008, 5:32am

That's why I used the {IC} before the North or South. They're up for order on the Cafepress site right now... Anyone that wants to can order them... Is anyone else interested in a shirt besides myself and DogDragon?

DogDragon

20 Feb 2008, 11:07am

20 Feb 2008, 12:44pm

Hey are we ordering off http://www.cafepress.com/iccivilwar.229714094
or are you(Crazy Joe) ordering them for all of us?

Gate28

20 Feb 2008, 3:11pm

dont get me one, some people in my house seem to think the old dixie is offensive...

Crazy Joe

20 Feb 2008, 5:09pm

I can make a version that doesn't have the flag. I can put something else on it with {IC} South on the front.

GnomeWizardd

20 Feb 2008, 6:14pm

how about hte logo? I dont mind the old dixie except I would prolly get killed down where i live!

DogDragon

20 Feb 2008, 6:19pm

I can make a version that doesn't have the flag. I can put something else on it with {IC} South on the front.
Ahhh I like the Dixie flag
Also the Dixie flag is history read about it.
It don't means slavery it just that slavery was there at the same time
and the North had slaves too, so don't blame the flag or you'll
have to blame the stars and stripes. My son in-law does the civil war
reenactment every year.
He's on the Rebel side and no one jumps up and down when they
fly it or wear their uniforms going into battle.
But I don't know like I said it's history, I just ordered mine t-shirts
I will also buy one of the new t-shirts for the team so I'm
wearing the same colors as the rest of my teammates.

Crazy Joe

20 Feb 2008, 6:36pm

how about hte logo? I dont mind the old dixie except I would prolly get killed down where i live!

What is the hte logo?

Cyclonite

20 Feb 2008, 6:40pm

He misspelled "the."

Crazy Joe

20 Feb 2008, 6:41pm

OK, so which logo? The Icrontic Logo? I can do that too.

GnomeWizardd

20 Feb 2008, 9:08pm

Keep in mind I am 95% sure ill be there tho, MY knee surgury is the 6th, I have to be able to walk and drive by the 14th! I hope all goes well!

Crazy Joe

21 Feb 2008, 4:55am

OK, So I have alternate versions up here.

With Crossed USA-CSA Flags:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/prod.aspx?p=ICCivilWarAlt2.230797089

With just IC Logo for people who don't like the CSA Battle Flag:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/prod.aspx?p=ICCivilWarAlt.230796331

Hope this is cool for everyone... I think I'm going to get the original one with "The South will rise again!" since we are going to kick some major Northern butt!!

This for those that don't understand The Confederacy Flag
read the History here.
http://www.civilwarhome.com/confederateflags.htm

Battle flag story is here
http://www.civilwarhome.com/battleflag.htm
This is the flag for some that leave a bad taste in their mouths.

But it's not this evil thing, some people just twisted it that way.
Just wanted to post the truth.
I'll leave it alone now it's your choice to read it or not.

DogDragon

21 Feb 2008, 8:28pm

Well the South is growing and there's a couple more thinking
of coming.

GnomeWizardd

21 Feb 2008, 8:34pm

i talked to UPS hitman, He will be joining me on the South from his house!

Crazy Joe

21 Feb 2008, 11:21pm

Well we'd definitely save money on shipping if we ordered them together. It's $5 to ship one shirt and each shirt adds about 50cents to the shipping costs. I can order the south shirts all together and then just bring them with me if you guys want. Just let me know what styles and sizes you want and I'll place the order around the first of March to ensure they get here on time...

Hey all, I got two Rebel flags to be in the IC South Headquarters(Blue's house)
They are the first and third that's real from that time.
I'm also getting the uniform to wear that is real. I'm loving this,
WOW is all I can say,what a score!

DogDragon

once again :confused:DogDragon :confused:shows the classic signs of old age:confused:.

Haha Have your fun Blue but it's still a xl shirt needed to be ordered.

But off that THIS IS NEEDED
I was going to reserve the machines at gigabits and I like to do it
by Tuesday the 4th of March.
The Battle will be march 14th
The Time I will be using to start is 7PM
(starting at 7pm will give enough time for all to get a bite
to eat and get there.)
Now I need to know how long this is going to last
so I can give gigabits all the info they need.
If there's a problem let me know, it's getting close
and I want to get a reservation in so we know we have
that finalized.

Crazy Joe

29 Feb 2008, 10:45pm

Ok, so I'm going to order the shirts this weekend. Please post here which style and what size you'd like and I'll place the order. As far as for how long, I'm fine to go for however long people want to go...

Gigsabits is holding machines for Icrontic Civil War
FatCat gave the time so Friday the 14th time 8pm-11pm

I guess it's time to start trash talking again since all is set and
ready and waiting for us.

I looked at the map and I am included on the South! Whatsup everyone! I won't be able to join you guys in Florida, but if the south is short and in need of a player I'll help out.

BTW, is that 8-11pm....eastern time?

Crazy Joe

10 Mar 2008, 11:29pm

Yes, it is Eastern Time.

I'll be in the same boat as eggroll. Lemme know if dixie needs another johnny reb.

BTW, is that 8-11pm....eastern time?
Short? and need a player
If you are listed in the South and are able you're in.:)
Any able Rebels are Welcome :)
Let's see how many we can get on the server at one time :D
If we can get All from the South to sign on the server the yanks
don't have a prayer. :D
The server is run by the Yanks :scratch: that may be a problem :grr:

Yeah it's Eastern Time only because there's not a confederate
and Yankee time :D

fatcat

12 Mar 2008, 5:05am

The TF2 Icrontic server is for 24 players, so 12 North vs 12 South is the max.

sharkydart

12 Mar 2008, 7:44am

We'll take anyone that wants to join... The South will Rise!!

...and will fall for a second time! When will you guys ever learn?! :cool:

Crazy Joe

12 Mar 2008, 11:57am

Hey, your in the South for this, so you better start towing the line!!

GnomeWizardd

12 Mar 2008, 4:27pm

? wasn't you going to get someone to come with you?

I was hoping but nobody was able too

sharkydart

12 Mar 2008, 4:49pm

Hey, your in the South for this, so you better start towing the line!!

It was established that I'm on the line (unless they redraw the line with a thinner brush). That being said, prepare to have the fight beaten out of you :bigggrin:

(but if you guys need a player, I guess I could be a turncoat...especially since 'The South' is where those incendiary cherries from the last 'SM-Lan' came from!)

Winfrey

12 Mar 2008, 8:47pm

Question.

how will the Icrontic Civil War be settled? who wins most rounds? who drank the most?

GHoosdum

12 Mar 2008, 9:22pm

I think it will be self-evident when we march to the sea and burn Orlando on our way.

They DID burn down the White House :D
True story just ask.

I think it will be self-evident when we march to the sea and burn Orlando on our way.Why? Two thirds of the people living there are originally from Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, and New York anyway.

fatcat

16 Mar 2008, 3:31am

It is was South/West/Central vs North

The South+ Won.

15 - 4

Winfrey

16 Mar 2008, 3:34am

Good Game north, wish CB and Prime could have played more :(

GHoosdum

17 Mar 2008, 1:26pm

I stopped playing when it became clear that it was not a battle of North vs. South, but a battle of the people in the basement of prime's house vs. the rest of the country, which included the people upstairs as well!

Besides, finding out that CB and prime shared the same MAC address was much more fascinating.

primesuspect

17 Mar 2008, 4:00pm

Absolutely obscure network problems ruined the game for me, combined with severe hard drive problems on both my desktop PC AND my router.

It was a bad hardware weekend for papa prime :-/

There's one at every LAN, and this time it was me.

17 Mar 2008, 4:45pm

There's one at every LAN, and this time it was me.

It was both of us. I did not use my computer for anything the entire weekend.

primesuspect

17 Mar 2008, 4:50pm

Yeah but in your case I think it was a bit of SINGITIS... ;D

You were the single most prolific rock-bander out of all of us... I'm gonna estimate...... 7-8 hours? :p

Annes

17 Mar 2008, 4:56pm

I'm going with the 10-15 bracket.

GHoosdum

17 Mar 2008, 5:14pm

I think it was more like 18.

sharkydart

17 Mar 2008, 5:47pm

CB was belting out facemelters on songs without facemelters. He showed no mercy.

17 Mar 2008, 6:35pm

It was weird for me. After awhile, I started to hate the singing. I didn't want to do it anymore, but everytime I told myself 'no more singing this weekend', other people would start to play again, and I had to choose between more singing Rock Band, more watching Rock Band, or doing something by myself. I chose to sing, and now I'm paying for it...

I had to give my students a writing assignment this morning. No lectures for me today.

To be fair, however, singing was not the only reason I wasn't using my computer. I would have played TF2 with everyone, but we just didn't figure out what was wrong until too late. Then, if other people had wanted to play computer games, I would have joined them at it, but with the exception of the 'civil war', no one else really used their computers for gaming either.

Gate28

17 Mar 2008, 6:37pm

Any news on Blue? would really like to know what happened that stopped our LAN...

Crazy Joe

18 Mar 2008, 12:05am

Did you tell your students you couldn't lecture because you were singing in a rock band all weekend?
