You don't want to be that person, the one who has to say, "I missed NETWAR 18". You, of course, want to be the person that gets to say, "I was there, I fragged, and it was a blast!"

Do your part and post about our events on Facebook, Twitter, forums and any other places you think would help. In addition, our event flyer can be grabbed off our web site and placed in public locations such as schools and work. As always, the trusty word-of-mouth method should be able to easily spark interest with others you know.
Missing Gamers (CALLING ALL GAMERS!)
For those of you that have not attended a LAN party in years, it's time to break that terrible habit! That's why I will be sponsoring a "Lanners Come Home" program. If you have not attended a NETWAR LAN party in over 3 years, you will have (2) options when you attend NETWAR 18.0. You can either have me buy you a meal of your choice from what we serve or the ability to take a FREE dodge ball throw at me (excluding my lower region). This excludes any new attendees; Yes, I know you have not been to one of our events in 3 years! J My hope is that this offer will draw at least a few people out of hiding and get you into a seat at the event. If not, and you feel you need a bigger incentive, contact me.

Final Thoughts
Being that we find ourselves in the midst of winter, there is only one thing you should be considering, and that is attending NETWAR 18.0! There is nothing quite like being inside (and out of the weather) at a large LAN party, fragging others (or in some cases, being fragged).
I hope to see you all at the event, it is going to be a good one. If you are not there, you better have a good reason!
In all seriousness, if there is anything about the event that is keeping you from attending, please let us know. We welcome your feedback!
