JAN
Welcome to the Offline Meeting… of the Invisible 34.
Posted by tsubaki | Filed under Game, Personal
The Counterstrike LAN party was a complete success, with 34 people turning up for the first ever local aniblogger offline gathering. The event was also graced with Singapore Armed Forces’ 1st Otaku Battalion (1OBn).
With such a huge group of otakus gathering at Parklane’s Macdonald even before the stipulated meeting time, we were a force to reckon with.
I rushed down after work, and reached there at around 6.30pm. To my horror, there was already 6 people waiting there. I bet they waited since 7.30am, since they don’t know the difference between AM and PM.
Lol, I kid.
Pre-Event Gathering
Celebrity Aniblogger DarkMirage, who recently entered RJC, wearing his trademark ROD shirt.
So while waiting for the rest to come, more people started joining the group and introducing themselves.
Some were prominent faces that were instantly recognized, while some were lurkers that we hardly knew. But no matter what they were, I’m sure everyone pretty much settled in.
At around 7.10pm, the 90% of the expected force arrived, proving that these people knew how to be punctual, but we couldn’t start because the biggest star was nowhere to be found.
Yes, he’s none other than tj han.
Everyone thought it was bloody funny to each send an SMS to tj han asking him the same “Where are you now” text. Imagine getting 30 sms on your phones from 30 different people with the same message!
It was quite funny thing since everyone counted, “1.. 2.. 3.. Ssssssssseeeennnnnnnndddddd” together.
We did make quite a ruckus but nobody at Macdonalds dared to come up to us and tell us to shut the fuck up. We were just too damn intimidating.
Prime Minister tj han walked in at 7.25pm, while being escorted by LianYL the troll and Impz the lolicon.
I gave the greeting and everyone stood up and bow towards tj han, much to his embarrassment, and we proceeded to IRC, the LAN shop that tj han supposedly booked after the march in procession.
The March in Procession.
The Almost Fatal Screw Up
An angry mob waiting outside IRC. Inside, tj han panics.
No event is without its screw-ups.
This gathering was nearly screwed because of a reservation mistake that tj han made, no thanks to bj0rn.
Apparently bj0rn gave tj han the wrong IRC outlet number and thus instead of booking for 28 computers at the IRC at Parklane, it was made instead at the one at Pennisular Plaza.
So we ended up trekking our way to Pennisular Plaza.
Have you ever seen 34 people walking in a group?
We were practically police bait, waiting for them to come slap us with an illegal gathering warning. It’s illegal in Singapore to be gathered in THREEs.
We had THIRTY-FOUR.
Plus everyone looked like criminals. Especially tj han with his super ultra golden monkey dyed hair.
Haruhi’s Saving Touch, or was it?
We got called back half during our trek to Pennisular Plaza. IRC managed to get 26 computers. So being gracious hosts, tj han and me got everyone to play first, while 6 people waited. Some were just there to watch us, so it more or less ironed out the number.
Kwok then tried to host Counter Strike 1.6, only to discover that WE COULD NOT PLAY COUNTERSTRIKE 1.6 AT IRC.
Complete winnage. It was just pure annoyance. So we had kwok host Battlefield 2: Special Forces instead.
While the rest begun fragging each other till thy kingdom cummed, tj han, Alafista, DrmChsr0, Eugenics and myself had dinner at Macdonalds while waiting for the annoying fuckers who were playing DotA.
Shortly after we finished eating, everyone got their computers and here’s when the fun starts.
Since at this point everyone was just too damn engrossed with playing their games and not taking pictures, I can only throw in some of the random things that happened during the 4 hour slugfest.
The 4 hour onslaught of blood, laughters and gays.
For the first time in my life, I’ve played a Battlefield game of 32 real people instead of bots. The experience is ecstatic because you were killing people you more or less knew from the Internet.
I made a ruling that everyone had to use their internet nicknames to avoid confusion, and it worked out well.
You could see DarkMirage fragging QubicFactor, tj han killing bj0rn, tsubaki pwning LianYL and more appearing on the screen, and it was quite entertaining.
Despite the lag, everyone was deeply engrossed and putting 2kg worth of lead into another person’s body, regardless of teams. Lol!
But BattleField 2 wasn’t the real agenda; everyone was just waiting for the real stuff.
And it came shortly after.
Counter Strike Source: OMG TSUBAKI IS GAY
But bj0rn was more gay, because he was caught playing o2jam.
LianYL discovered that Counter Strike Source worked and created the server, calling it “OMG TSUBAKI IS GAY”.
And that’s was just the start of how the limelight shifted from tj han to me, unfortunately.
LianYL makes a shitty CS host because he don’t know how to stop the maps from changing. And they always change into stupid ones that no one plays. It didn’t help when some other people from the LAN shop joined our game.
So that was closed and he made a passworded server instead.
Guess what the password was?
“tsubakigay”
Seriously, thanks. But that’s when the fun really starts. From this moment onward it was just pure insanity. Has anyone seen a private 30-player game? Because this was again a first, and it’s quite amazing.
Because this side story proves it:
There were 3 guys who occupied the computers beside me and I could hear that they were happy to see so many people playing Counter Strike Source. So they got their computers and set up their names and controls, only to discover that the server that we were playing was password locked…
Quote of the year:
“WAH LAN, A PRIVATE GAME WITH 32 PEOPLE? NABEI ALL FRIENDS?”
I laughed. They ended playing a 3 person CS:S game among themselves. That must have really sucked. Hahahaha.
Memorable moments
A couple of memorable moments, and they all had one thing in common-
The knife.
When the first person was knifed, everyone was just laughing insanely.
The real insanity started when we called for a Knife match where everyone attacked everyone with just knifes. Now that, is purely insanity. The whole LAN shop was just filled with our perverted laughter as we slash and stab each other with our bayonets.
It was just pure craziness.
And it was just so fun. Heck, fun is an understatement. It’s just… motherfucking awesome.
We ended everything at 11pm, and everyone slowly proceeded to pay.
But something really fucked up happened. Alafista paid $10, but he didn’t get computer because he wasn’t aware he was suppose to take a seat. And then LAN shop person said that he was missing another $10 deposit (everyone has to give a deposit of $10 to play).
Because everyone was in a good mood, I didn’t want to make a ruckus of it, so I went out and told everyone to chip in a couple of coins.
We paid for that so called “missing” $10 deposit and left. And sweared to never play at IRC ever again. The air-conditioning was bad, the computers were poorly maintained and it had shitty chairs.
Yet despite the shittiness of the LAN Shop, it was a moment that everyone will probably never forget.
The group photo we took was probably the most chest thumping moment.
As we were all posing for the shot, someone from behind shouted “EVERYONE SAYS TSUBAKI BUTTSEKS!” and thus the happy faces of everyone, who loved the idea of a Tsubaki Buttsek.
See? Everyone smiled.
We were roaring “Tsubaki Buttseks” so loudly; everyone at Macdonalds was looking at us. And the Ah Bengs that were staring at us were so intimidated by our battle roar.
OTAKUPOWA.
After this event, everyone splitted up. Some went on to Coscafe for more Maid action, while the penniless and tired ones went home.
I choose to go home of course, because I’m a poor after unloading all my money on my new toys.

WRONG INFO YOU NOOB!
The COMS were reserved at Parklane. It’s the guy at the counter who didnt take note.
Secondly, I PWNED ALL OF YOU ALL! SLAUGHTERED! WAHAHAHAHA. With 40+ frags and you noobs with barely 10!
But!!! It was fun since I swaped TJ’s nick with mine later to give my no.1 idol some glory. =X
A few points to add:
I WAS THE FIRST TO KNIFE! In the full gun battle, I knifed two people. I can’t remember who, I suspect it was Tedfox. I am so l33t. SOUL OF THE SAMURAI!
Best CS Player cum Aniblogger must be gay Bjorn the worm. He plays cs competitively lolwtfomgbbqzzz.
The past tense of SPLIT is not SPLITTED. There is no such word. It is SPLIT. We split into three groups.
The lighthouse anti-tank vs sniper was really fun.
Awesome – Never thought that it would be that big … Seems you had lot of fun :)
Next time do some video and share it here :D
It seems to have been a lot of fun. I wish I had come, but 10000 km is too far from my home :D
gg… e knife fight was omgwtfbbq
imagine ur T walking wif ur grp of T and u walk up a slope.. e nxt moment u turn arnd u see no T arnd u… swipe mouse right… 16 CTs advancing on you and 4 knives alr thrust out into your body… WTF?!?! and byorn is imba
and T side were practically shooting at their own team half the time in cobble… bloody hell we hose e CTs down from 2 sides and everyone tot the other side was CT as well… if friendly fire was on i think CTs can juz camp at one corner and wait for us to kill ourselves…
BF is juz fun… esp when u kill ppl and they dunno where the **** you are at… hehehe but y e heck dint we play any armor maps… zzz
not to forget also for one of the earlier maps for BF:SF e one where e US side captured asylum and practically e game became a stalemate there… i was at the asylum cap point for damn long, walked past at least 5 ppl without them noticing me while trying to find the god damn staircase to the flag…. and got killed with the counter about 3 seconds away from neutralising point….
haha happy faces :) sad that i didn’t go
NICE, looks like ggs for all~ glad to see you had a good turnout!
D: you people scare me
mmmm fun.
I was sleeping at home while you all are fragging at IRC LOL =X
it was fun… BF expecially..the US vs insurgents at the asylum was darn fun…bunch of the opposing force were running to it and i was up top sniping there off … hahaha…
Bj0rn is gay. nuff said.
The 2 guys that occupied the seats on my right also went “Wah. 32 people lei. All friends ah? Let’s join!” only to find out that it’s password locked. They tried hacking in, probably due to their ‘n00bness’ they couldn’t get in when the password was right under their noses :)
I’m glad you managed to make a entry out of the 14 photos filtered out haha.
We need 1 or 2 more photographers for such events :)
@windbell: we don’t have such large weapons as you u know….
AHhhhh it was such a fun event. Seriously. BF2 was fun, CS.S was fun, heck, this is the best ever LAN event i ever went. Not to mention the utter chaos when knifing match became…. hey wtf? AN AK47?! lol…
The pistol match was also ruined by the CTs when i was carrying a DE and my opponent blasting me with a Para. Imba i tell you, imba. SO IS BJORN.
Ah BF2 was the most fun for me. Thing is, no one knew that capturing command post gives you the most achievement points, thus i always end up being top scorer (woohoo for prior game knowledge!) The Asylum match gahhh i hate the sniper. But all in all, very very fun.
I made so many new friends it’s like OMG Calsberg’s advertisement: A world of friends. I thank everyone who graced the event as i would not have known you guys otherwise. *Bows*
>>”Everyone thought it was bloody funny to each send an SMS to tj han asking him the same “Where are you now” text. Imagine getting 30 sms on your phones from 30 different people with the same message!”
Fucking funniest thing I’ve read today. Man, I can imagine the cacophony, huoeahouaehoueaae.
>>Quote of the year: “WAH LAN, A PRIVATE GAME WITH 32 PEOPLE? NABEI ALL FRIENDS?”
Quote of the year? QFT’ed!
LOL, escorted by impz the lolicon. Oh man, this post rocks my socks off @_@;;;
Also, that was a quotable quote!
mostly guys… oAo
I wish I could have been there but im in the U. I bet you guys had fun through!!!
Yup, last night sure was fun, since i snicked out…. recce! BF was my glory moment, and i was the one who captured the asylum and blew SH away (TAKE THAT, FALSE EMPRESS!). There was one time at the aircraft carrier where i was driving a assault boat, and here comes tsubaki who was ridding a water jet. I started spraying him with the MG, and then he started to go around me in circles! Firefox and me were laughing like madmen as tsubaki kept going round and round with me spraying at him… guru guru mawaru… finally, he ditched the water jet and i ended his misery with one last burst of fire… what were you thinking tsubaki..!?
wow that’s quite funny
@jinyamato: You don’t need a ‘large penis’ (very good camera). It’s the ‘cum’ (shooting skills/composition/etc) that counts. Of course, the more ‘cum’, it could lead to a ‘bukkake’ (more photo coverage)
:)
Aw sad, as XD said, mostly guys TT__TT If I lived in Singapore, I would’ve gone to watch LOL But seeing as it’s overloaded with only MALES… XD
wow..sounds fun..therefore, otakupowa can overcome all the ah bengs in singapore!! XDXD come out wif some otakuism rap dude…lol
A few corrections, and perhaps additions.
1. I thought we were supposed to meet at 1930hrs, and not 1900hrs?
2. Haruhi, didn’t save the LAN outing, Asoukai saved it by actually bothering to call both outlets again to confirm the number of seats available. IRC (Peninsula) only had 16 (plus 12 in a neighbouring LAN shop), while IRC (Parklane) had 25 (then 26) available immediately. It must be said though, that it was definitely a screw-up, because apparently when Asoukai called, the people thought the booking was made for Saturday “8am”. Who the f*** plays CS/BF at 8am in the morning?
3. In any case, I’d suggest not going back to IRC. Firstly, there’s no CS 1.6. Secondly, the motherf***ing guy there cheated us of $10. I’m damn sure of it. Thirdly, their booking system sucks.
4. No complaints about the gaming itself. I suck at CS, so I’ll admit it. But what’s with the guns when we’re shouting “knife, knife!”?
5. Oh, and it was Mr. Analitez who shouted “Everyone say Tsubaki loves Bartsechz!”. And its, buttsex/bartsechz in 1Obn lingo. Apparently.
6. What happened to cosafe?
7. Are we having another one next week/month? LOL.
And yes, we need more females.
It’s too heavily masculine. Looks like some Desker Road LAN outing or something.
there were really many fun moments even though I never played … anyway its nice to meet so many people though I can’t really remeber all the names anyway .. lol
@ Mitsuki_Hayase : After the lanning was over at about 11pm, the whole lot of us split, with Tsubaki and one half of the group going home, whereas tjhan and the other half including me went to cosafe. This is why Tsubaki didn’t mention any visit to cosafe…
Anyway, at cosafe, we just ordered drinks and played card games. There were just 3 maids and a butler there though (I assume it’s the two managers, one of the manager’s brother and some other maid). Of course there were funny forfeits like Shiachan having to serve us all water from the kitchen, and tjhan and two others having to provide a maid service and massage to Windbell (I think). We all left at around 1 am with half sharing a cab to the west. Some went to watch soccer though, and I am not sure about the remaining few.
I didnt say tsubaki buttsex man.. I just said Buttsex!
If you want more cosafe action, next time be there before 11pm. Cos most of the maids knock off at 11.. and it gets boring from there :P Although we could have entertained more people that day, some of them were being idiots and decided to play amonst themselves.
Bah, bhartsechz!
omg…34 people! IRC really earned alot that day.LOL
lol, I wish I knew how to play CS.
Pls stick to e-games next time. :(
Reading meetups reviews like this makes me really envious…
X3 I would have gone, but I’m way too far away. It looked fun.. D:
[...] Well~ Tsubaki seems tired when writing his post yesterday so some things are quite off. Anyway, the LAN party was a SUCESS! We had a total 34 people turning up for our first local event and I’m really suprised by the response. The 1OBN crew also made their appearance. But all 33 men got slaughtered by me in Counter Strike! Bow down to me!!! In fact, TJ Han became my No.1 Fan after today since he was moaning for my name after the event. [...]
lol i was the one man defence of the tower in Iron Gator in BF2…XD
next time lets go somewhere with battlefront…i want to fly x-wings!!!
Awww, i wanted to pley css too D:
@bj0rn Nobody told me that, so I assumed the way it was.
@tj han Now that you mentioned it, I think it was Tedfox you stabbed.
@LianYL Totally insane.
@BlackTiger It is really. You should organize one yourself.
@Skh It’s worth even 1 million km, i tell you.
@Suzumiya Haruhi Hhahaha the knife battle was just pure insanity. I was laughing all the way.
@Chicken You should have. It was just bloody fun.
@air! Yeah! A complete success.
@aquamaster Noob! You should have joined us!
@jinyamato I was killing off people on top of the tower with my rifle. Hah.
@windbell Hahah, we are the ultimate shocker party. Those that saw the group were in total awe.
@MisatYoH Wooo everyone was just more interested in killing people then capturing outpost. Hahaha.
@Kurogane I forgot to mention that we sent that twice. Lol.
@impz And I still have not forgiven you for squeezing my neck. It worsen my cough after that. Fucker.
@XD Unfortunately.
@Saber Aww, it’s a waste then.
@GabGrave Hahahaha. That was because I forgot how to unmount it, so I was spinning around trying to figure that out and when I finally did, I got pwned. HAHAHA.
@CherylHew Well the next event I’ll make sure there will be girls. Hahaha.
@tiny Red Man And it’s pretty scary. Bet the police was afraid of us.
@Mitsuki_Hayase Yeap. Meeting time is 7.30pm. Ah. Asoukai wins then. tj han fails for hosting. As for Cosafe, I didn’t go remember? So you’ll have to wait for the other bloggers to talk about it.
@alafista Eh i’m damn sorry about your $10. It’s really fucked up.
@Analitez Then how come it became tsubaki buttseks after that? Meh!
@K Of course, they cheated us $20.
@XD Some people went there without knowing how to play CS or BF and still enjoyed themselves okay.
@I am Bhartsechz I agree.
@kristalyamaki Fear by the local power.
@Xak And I remember killing u at some point.
@Sora You could have bus your ass down.
LOL, Bjorn was imba because at the start ALL the CT noobs blindly charged at him in de_cobble when they were supposed to defend the bombsites. Bjorn obviously had a fun time with his awp. But his comment about only RI Boys killed him really fired me up and I gunned him down the next round, with an awp.
Last map (de_dust) was a real thriller with people declaring pistols and some tards blatantly ignoring it and using rifles (yes that’s you TJHAN). I was one of the few who actually went around toting my usp and got the majority of frags, ending as top fragger for that map.
Who am I?
I am Goshujin-Sama, and I am from Acs(i).
LOL. Apparently not many can still put a face to my nick. It’s okay, I like it this way.
Anyway, what’s with the sudden school rivalry?
That’s because you’re a kokster.
Oops.
lawl… let’s top e RI school thing… RI sux
i dint realise i was given credit for e mix up salvation… ps if not wld have corrected it earlier…
@Gabgrave yes u picked me off wif a sniper after i killed u twice from tat same lame position and like 10 other ppl… in fact i was quite grateful for the fast death coz i was like left with 15 bullets and nothing else alr… LAWL… i wasted like 4 1/2 mags up there… damn funny la
eh and i still suck at cs… i dunno how to chiong smartly lawl! 4 knives into me
Didn’t matter…I mostly ended up with the role I played in BF…the medic/human shield…
I can’t play CS with lag, lol. The only frags I got came from spraying wildly using SMGs…
Meh, used my monies on a new mouse instead . =X
Haha, I was there to provide battle fodder >.
@SH, sniper? i think i used the pistol.. I was walking behind you. Also, i was wondering how they managed to get across the gate.
Then there was another time where someone else was at the church roof. I used the special equipment to get there from the tower and shot the camper there with a pistol as well. Did’nt even noticed me. After that the map changed.
I can play o2jam though.
._____________.
@Tsubaki, prolly cos they literally wanted to have your babies, and when I said buttsex.. they just thought I was supporting their plan. And thus it became Tsubaki Buttsex.
@AsouKai, Nowonder U kept killing me and Vice-versa.. SAS & ACS have some long time feud that even strangers end up killing each other.
I see everyone had fun….I wish i attended..but nooo…Death Note 2 called. I feel like such a noob. Maybe next time alright? Thats if you’re ever having something like this again. =D I’ll look out for you in the papers! (refering to the HOME section in the straits times) *wink wink*
URG!!!!! I HATE TOWER SNIPERS at the Hanger Map. And being pawn by a HIND, thats the worse disgrace for me!!!!
But its fun thought, seeing massive wave of knifing CT advancing to knife the sad Terrors to death, KNIFE ORGY!!!!!
Oh yar, and its nice to know more of the people around here, espically jinyamato, mistayoh, impz (The researcher who feels that he would be known as a joke to be playing cs with us if his friends know.), TedFox whose sitting around me. Bjorn and windbell, Qubicfactor and Tjhan too.
Thanks for the outing!
uh tsubaki iirc we were on the same team for that map…
“We were roaring “Tsubaki Buttseks” so loudly; everyone at Macdonalds was looking at us. And the Ah Bengs that were staring at us were so intimidated by our battle roar.”
lol

@ Suzuru, Its called Intimidating Shout! :P
@somatic, did I kill u? I know I killed afew ppl with my chopper lol.. well i was in the air 80% of the game anyway..
@Analitez: Ok, next time, I will remember to eject early when you say EJECT!
EJACULATE!
Oops.
Actually Analitez, acs(i) seems to have a feud with any and every secondary school. Don’t ask me though, I only acknowledge the AC-RI rivalry.
I don’t know if I was the one who was knifed by TJ han, although there was a time when some unknown person wanted to knife me only for me to turn around and unload a full clip on him.
ACS(i) rules.
Knife war;; O_O
I never did that but I tried the crowbar war and was addicted to Katana(Japanese sword) war(expansion got from internet)… It’s fun to hit slash people in the back and then run XD It’s hilarious when you play a melee combat with little gravity, with people flying all over the place XD
Boy I wished I was part of the group… crap 14-15 year old guy… Coping with studies… And stink at lan games…
;_; I should have stayed and watch the knifing part…But Irake and I had to wake up early the next day so we had to leave early…..that quote from earlier “WAH LAN, A PRIVATE GAME WITH 32 PEOPLE? NABEI ALL FRIENDS?” that really PWNED!!!
[...] It was another large group gathering, though not as impressive as our CounterStrike party partially due to the fact that DarkMirage was a shy kid and he didn’t want a large gathering. [...]
