    Its been suggested to me that the name Quakapalooza is very quake centric, which was true of last year, and maybe not so true this year.

    If anyone can come up with a decent name in the next 7 days, I'll consider changing it.

    So get your thinking hats on, you could have a convention named after you smile.gif

    Crimpathon '99, HubFest, Whywontthisfu(kinnetworkcarddowhatitstold con.

    Isn't there any way of fitting in the whole Hallow'een theme into the name? I can't think of any offhand that don't sound really naff, but others must have suggestions...

    Totally unoriginal but.. Lan.ie?

    Incidentally, how many people would be interested in entering a Q3T competition?

    I think that if all competitions had a £5 entry fee used as prizemoney for the winner they'd be a lot more interesting.

    How about Creeping Death. Theres also a pretty cool song of the same title we could use.

    Or keeping with the Helloween theme maybe QPII:Soul Harvest.

    Oh yeah great idea EWJ an entry fee would be cool. Means that people would have something to aim for. I'd luv to see a Unreal Tournament CTF compo as well (Dev, Slosh you guys tried this yet ???? Tis cool!!!!).
