Counter Strike championship in linux internet cafe

Cyber games tournament is a wonderful possibility for internet cafe to get a lot of new games. In a comparison with other advertisement types championship is the best for a gaming club. It's a good idea to start clanwar and showmatch meetings in gaming center.

Idea to organize championship haunted me a lot of time. But I had a lot of questions and had no answers. How to start? Who will be a referee? How to avoid cheaters? How to make tournament honest and secure? What is the best prize for a gamer? How gamers will react to linux?

My decision was to anounce Counter Strike tournament. After that a lot of posters were printed on printer. For a free computer access I asked some young gamers to spread it out. All local forums and gaming networks were flooded with our anounce. My friends anounced championship on local CS servers. A lot of people were ready to help us. It was a cool event in cyber life of our town! A few people suggested to be a referee in the tournament.

I bought a domain www.informixclub.com for my new internet cafe and made PHP script for players registration. It was a good decision. There were preregistered 350 members for a 5x5 Counter Strike tournament using web form.

Linux Gentoo diskless internet cafe

My name is Sergey Novak and I live in Moldova. It's a small country in the center of Europe. My business is internet cafes and I am going to tell you a story about my new internet cafe.

I was always embarrassed by the fate of computer clubs, which by karma always destined to be placed in the basement. In the basement with a leaky rusty pipes, without ventilation, with dirty walls. It was a good internet gaming computer club if there can be found a point which could be called a toilet. From the earliest days of the internet cafe I am always thinking about how to evade the inevitable karma of internet clubs. Ideal internet club must be full of fresh air, light, spacious, with high transparent windows overlooking the busy main street. And then all the passers-by will see that the Internet is not a club gathering bastards and other antisocial people. It should be and establishment of a completely normal people who came to talk on Skype with relatives, print documents, scan old photos or films.

For many years I worked in this direction, correcting all the mistakes at the expense of current profits. However, there was another problem - the lack of suitable places for business. Some basements were available (in short supply). In 2008, the vibrant economy began to receive less money from abroad. Unnecessary companies began to close. The most of the landlords did not undestand that much has changed for a long time. Assumed that property prices will drop to six to twelve months, after which everything will return to their seats. The first year, prices were holded. Vacant spaces did appear in the city. But price was not still adequate. Real estate owners still were loosing money.

Real estate market in Moldova has the following situation. On low-cost rental space appeared a lot of new companies who do not live long. Rapidly colonized and quickly leave the rent spaces. Those who work for a long time in old rent spaces. Because there is trodden path for many years loyal customers who have business money. Lessor understands the value of the old location for a specific tenant to take this and just laugh at the proposal to reduce the price of the lease. Laughing, being confident that the crisis will end soon and you should not get excited prematurely. Income tenants fall and comes the moment when he realizes that the difference in paid them rent and the market price is too high. Calculated that the change will pay off the premises for the year profitable business moved to new premises, which at the time of his devastated stay was repaired and the tenant finally came to the conclusion that the client must be treasured. A master of the old premises off for a few years to reflect on their behavior and make repairs to their ruins.
