02/13/2008CPL IS DEAD.

Posted By: ADMIN

The CPL is dead. Finally actually dead as a tournament organization, not just "gg cpl == dead"-dead. For those that still care here's the story.

First off, a lot of this can't be verified. I'm sorry but I'm not posting logs or giving sources in order to protect people. Here's what can be verified;

Chris Moncivalles - CPLs League Commissioner, was fired around the 27th of January. He disappeared from the CPL staff page and people started asking questions. A few days later he was added back on the staff page as "Online Store Director". Promise you however, that's just to avoid questions, he's still fired and that's why he hasn't been responding to any of you.

Thomas Hollingsworth - CPLs IRC Manager dropped his tag a few days ago and disappeared off the CPL staff page. At which point we can somewhat assume he's no longer with the CPL anymore either.

Now, Micheal Allen will also be gone at the end of the month, he's the Global Tournament Director and as such his services won't be required by the CPL anymore because of the CPL likely not having any more tournaments after the world tour ends this month.

As it stands, this may not be the last you've heard of "the CPL" but it should be the last you've heard of "the CPL" in regards to gaming tournaments. The CPL may try to become an advisory company of sorts for video game companies. This should largely be read as an excuse to stay involved with Daikatana 2, or Severity, whichever name you find suiting. (Yes Romero, we haven't forgotten or forgiven that abomination of a game you threw at us). Plus they still have 1/2 of the stock of CPL mice to sell!

The CPL has been losing money (obviously) and after a buy-out from Play'nTrade failed because Angel didn't want to relocate, it was practically decided to end the CPL's run.

What this means for CAL is not a whole lot, CALs been told to keep doing its thing, however they might lose partnerships such as hosting which could become rather troublesome. And that's aside from staff that might bail and look for newer, better things. (Don't say CEVO, dealing with Angel is horrible, but dealing with Charlie Plitt is hell on earth).

Now until Angel crawls out and states something, things can change. You never know when some unfortunate company decides to sink money into gaming and runs into the CPL. This post/message was made mostly due to a complete communications break-down. Angel won't talk to anyone anymore about what's going to happen which leaves certain people stuck in limbo.
They can't say anything but they can't do anything either. As it stands the story is largely as I've just told it. I'm expecting this to finally lead to some kind of official response on the situation at hand from Angel.

I've said most of what I care to say, I won't be dealing with people directly contacting me regarding this. If people wish to discuss the matter there's a live online gaming talk show called Faces For Radio which should air tomorrow at 8pm EST and last for about 2 hours.
I'm not sure whether they'll welcome discussion on the subject or not, but if so I'll try to call in and respond to any questions anyone might ask there if the show allows such, please don't contact me otherwise. It's hosted by the same people that produce Epileptic Gaming, information on how to watch can be found at http://epilepticgaming.ggl.com/

12/08/2007NEW FORUMS

Posted By: ADMIN

Ok, a long overdue rebuild of the forums is done!
Unfortunately, we were unable to transfer over the database info. The company we host with did not properly back it up. So, here we go back to scratch. Hope everybody pitches in and reregisters with Driven Insane Gamers. Thanks for your patience. [DiG]

10/28/2007Change of Venue

Posted By: Maze

Unfortunately there was a falling out between leetservers and Driven Insane Gamers and they have shut down all of our servers. We already have the order in for our new box. Ventrilo going up as we speak. All ips will be posted shortly. On the upside we are moving to a much better network and server. 5 more ips, 3 more gigs of ram, 150 gig more on storage, 5,000 rpms faster. Plus moving from 1 dual core to dual quad-core.

Thanks for your patience. Keep checking for your ips, they will be out soon.

07/24/2007DiG Retreat

Posted By: Un4Gvn

The 2007 Driven Insane Gamers retreat was a freaking BLAST!!!
CRAB STUFFED DiG'ers!!!

Lots of big fish and good friends. Special thanks to MAZE, if it wasn't for him it couldn't have happened. Thanks to Gravy, Drunk and Dustinator for showing up, and adding to the good time.
We all got together and cooked up about 20 lbs of crab on the grill. One of Maze's friends owns a bar so we where able to eat it there and shoot some pool, listen to good music and just enjoy the good company.
We spent about 5 days fishing the surrounding area of Cocoa Beach, FL. We fed dolphins(in the wild, not in some park), pet the Manitee and got to lay our eyes on over 20 different species of fish, none of which you can land in the boat in under 10 minutes. Whatever time we didn't spend in the boat or on the beach fishing we either spent hanging out in Maze's house(which is a block from the beach and has sweet tennis/bachi/basketball courts across the street) or we hung out at the Surfer's Sports Bar in Cocoa Beach, FL. If your ever down that way stop in and have a beer, it's an awesome place.
Hope to see more of you show up next year.

BOMBS AWAY!!!
