TMC-LAN 2 was where we were really starting to shape the format of the LAN. We created a TMC Only area in the back, so that all the TMC members could have their PC's in a centralised location. We didn't so much trust the LAN center kids, so this also served as a way for us to watch eachothers things, as well as keep a close eye on the raffle prizes and the few sodas we were selling.
This was also the LAN where a lot of shenanigans took place. These included Metalslug smashing an old cell phone with Active Monkey's "war bat". TP'ing someones car (I cant remember who's it was). Wrapping Kaffeines little brother, Raptoer (aka pooter), in duct tape. Also, lighting a broken network card on fire... for some reason around this time we all thought it was cool to light old PC hardware on fire. I'm sure the fumes from doing this knocked years off our lifespan.
Either way, it was silly antics like these that gave these LANs a bit of a wild college party vibe or something along those lines. It was all in good fun, but in retrospect didn't do much to ingratiate ourselves with Mel, the venue ower.
