The New Look of CryoLAN, and our Second Event.  

That’s right, we weren’t dead, just resting.  As you can see, we’ve got a totally new look for the CryoLAN website.  You may also notice our new artwork at the top of the page, including the new character on the right.  Our very own Death2Moogles has been doing a great job of producing original work for us, and we’ve got her working on some other projects too.

Some of you might be wondering what the “Red Oktober” thing is all about too.  That, I’m proud to announce, is the name of the second CryoLAN event.  CryoLAN : Red Oktober, or C:RO for short, will be taking place on October 29th – 31st, 2010, at the South Lockport Volunteer Firehall, the same venue as CryoLAN Beta.  We’ll have the same great network as we had for CryoLAN Beta, the same rock-solid power support, a better seating layout that accomodates a larger number of attendees.

This event is going to be a small step upwards from CryoLAN Beta for the CLP staff.  We’ve brought a new face on board, and are already working on improvements to the event as a whole.  For those who attended our first event, you can expect better tournaments, with a less disruptive Meta tournament. 

We’re hoping for improved prizes at Red Oktober, since we were able to do great things with what we got in our first event.  Of course, since Michael ”Izumo13″ Miller is running the show, you can also expect the unexpected yet again.  The first event saw a huge cake cut with a katana, flying mice, PC demolitions, chainmail, Nerf chainguns, and a full set of melee weapons.  What will take place at CryoLAN Red Oktober?  You’ll have to be there to find out!

More details coming soon, including full pricing details, our new group incentive, and of course, our popular VIP package.

Also, some of you might have questions regarding registration for CryoLAN.  With the migration to the new site we’ve decided to have people sign up for the new site rather than retain the old user list.  This is a slight inconvenience, but we’d like to be sure that we’re sending e-mails only to real people.  Some users had signed up twice on the old site, and we’d really like to keep the new user list pruned and accurate.  The forums are still the same as they were before, though that may change eventually as well.  Right now you’ll still need to log in to the forums seperately from your site login.  We’re working hard on a way to unify the login between the site and the forums, and will do our best to make that as non-disruptive as possible as well.
