I picture the BYOC area being like the Teamplay Corral - an extension of the booth - a place to exhibit the product we talk about in the booth. Everybody who brings their own machines plus a few "Guest" machines for walk-ups to use and enjoy at their leisure.

I also like the idea of having a few in the actual booth itself, but maybe keep those manned with TTP'ers on mics doing what we do. In a game like Tf2, maybe have them playing medic to show the importance of support classes and the kind of things that can be accomplished when a pair of players communicate - let alone a whole team!

I dig it!

A little T&A handing out free goods wouldn't hurt...

There are a ton of things we could do, like setting up PUG's, a vent for organizing tourney's, running the BYOC Tourney's, offering to let people play with us in the BYOC to get the full TTP experience. It can be a very long list.

IMO we need both, a presence in the exhibition room, and the BYOC. And setting up a way to link the 2 is a great idea. In fact I think we did do some of that when we had Bigag's machine in the booth playing COD and they asked that we get TTP COD players in it I volunteered my machine and let other TTP'ers play.

We're not going to dominate QuakeCon - for one simple reason, we don't play Quake. But we can and should dominate the games we play both in the BYOC and exhibition hall.

I can see it now..

"Do you have what it takes to be a Texas Teamplayer?" Ira booms over the loudspeaker... "Come on over and let's see what you got!" (people waiting and watching with smiles to sit down at a teamplayer computer as they get free goods)

As a gamer gets up from a TTP computer, Ira's voice is heard thru the air again, "We got a true gamer folks! Looks like Viper49 passed the teamplayer challenge! Cmon people, step on up!"

And if someone needs a ban, we can do the unban process live, right there in front of the attending highs.

We should put down a stripe of red tape on the ground leading from the booth to our area of the BYOC hall. Follow the red line to gaming paradise!

I'm not a timid person in the least... If allowed, I'd walk around the BYOC area all day with a loudspeaker preaching the enlightened style of teamplay and where it can be found... :6

It would be the fastest vote in the history of TTP.
