According to readmore, the famous German LAN event Convention-X-Treme has been cancelled by the organisation following a controversial decision by local authorities.
The event was due to take place in Karlsdorf-Neuthard, a municipality in the state of Baden-Württemberg, from August 28 to 30.
However, it has now been confirmed that the event has been cancelled after the local authorities decided not to allow the so-called 'killer games' Counter-Strike: 1.6 and Warcraft III to be played at the LAN party. Since the organisation had no way to control this, it ultimately decided to cancel the whole event.
This decision follows Germany's strict rules on violent videogames after the school shooting in Weinnenden in March, which cost the lives of 16 people. Earlier this year, several of ESL's Intel Friday Night Games had already been cancelled for the very same reasons.
The Convention-X-Treme organisation has confirmed that it is currently looking for a different location to host to the event. In the meantime, everyone that had paid to attend the event will be refunded.I would like to headshot that german right now
i bet you wont be talking like that anymore then :)
some people just dont realise that its just a game :)
*fact*

I hope you understand what I mean
with all the respect for the government..a big.. GO FUCK YOURSELF!
The games are not the cause of evil/crims/etc... in this world, people, yes, are.
As someone above said, that if your own kid was shot and killed by another kid you might just have to change your opinion.
A game does not make unstable people go off and games certainly don't make normal people unstable.
If my kid got shot because of some unstable fucker I would not blame the games he played I would blame this kids horrible horrible parents and the fucked up society that, as we can see in this case, rather looks away and blames something else instead of addressing the real problem.
How do you know? Your kid hasn't gotten shot has he? And I was just throwing words out, I am not saying GAMES ARE THE PROBLEM but I am sure they can make someone out there tick and go off...
That is as much a social issue as it is a parenting issue.
Games don't make people go off it's not like he played some death match, grabbed his father's guns and decided to go to his school and continue his game.
They don't even noticed that the victems of school amok run themselves probably played it as well.
i play cs 2hrs a day and i am not able to even punch a person. its disgusting to hurt someone.
GOVERMENT: I think we need to close another lan

How about in America? Is it because of violent games there too? How come the government doesn't doesn't talk about it too? Ban games? Cancel LAN events? Wanna know why? Because they they have a brain to understand that violent games isn't the cause to all of that, it can help a bit but wtf.
Imo the best thing that could be done is control much more the purchase of so called "violent games" (i.e cs 1.6 +16/+18 age only)
after all , many countries around the world such as Brazil has decided the same thing..
to ban these kind of games
Going this way:
- Ban 99% of FPP games because playing them involves using virtual guns.
- Ban 99% of car driving games because playing them requires speeding.

THERE IS A DEAD MAN ON CROSS!!!
Someone can go to school and hang his teacher and friends!
They wont kill each other ingame but they would kill each other in real life.
It's really disappointing for gamers these kind of stupid decisions.

It's not like I want to hurt anyone, but if you are like really mentally ill, perhaps that boost of "anger" can cause an disater.!
Perhaps that's just me, but I don't know
if they would use their brains for just one second they would come to the conclusion that shutting down the LAN is just idiotic
but it's a bit understandable, this year is the election in Germany and the stupid people believes the shit the policits are saying, that computer games would make a monster out of a peaceful person and so he welcomes the shut down of a "birthplace of evil"
too much dumb people in the world :(
playing cs 1.6 & war3 on lan doesn't make you a murderer
No seriously thoses who kill ppl after playing video games don't go on lan and DON't play those games, instead of cancelling such an event they should think about games like GTA, which is potentially much more dangerous than CS ( my guess is they don't because it makes much money, selling GTA 4 means giving money to the government, whereas playing on lan doesn't )
in cs 1.6 there are not blood like any other game ever in "barby" they want us to be pink boys !!!! ooommmmmggg
In that case, they should shut down pubs, bars, discos and every other place where alcohol is served...people are killed by drunkards more than "killer games"...for example: drunk driving, brawls when drunk, sex crimes, etc. Of course these crimes are not only caused due to alcohol, but these do happen right? but no ban on alcohol, then y ban gaming centres...
Another point, why dont they find out how dangerous fire-arms are falling in the hands of young children...y cant they make strict and vigilant law against possesion of firearms...
Ban action movies which show gore and bloody scenes which young kids tend to imitate..ther are endless other things to ban and they chose gaming...pfffttt!!
if shutting down lancentres will stop such killings then its a good move...but i doubt it will work as more and more people will go out on the streets and play real-life cs as they dont have any place to play in their virtual world..
Dumb Government!!

dunno when will people realize its not about playing "killer" games, its about how parents raise their kids. obviosly that family was rich, the kid got whatever he wanted, otherwise he started screaming. even his ping pong coach (yes, the boy played it) said if he didnt win the match he was unbelievable.
most of politicians are stupid (they want to shut down the internet LOL)
btw politicians: osama doesnt play killer games.

It is indeed a society problem. This kid was sort of an outsider in his school, nobody really liked him and the attention from his parents probably wasn't enough.
I'm sure there was a shitload of other stuff that was on his computer but Counter-Strike and other shooters are simply the easiest to blame - they're about shooting people.
give me a break:)
There may be people that play these games because it allows them to shoot other people in the head. These person may not be mentally stable and may be dangerous but they don't go to a LAN.
A LAN is either a place to have fun playing with friends and like-minded folk or to compete in a tournament, not to fuel your anger against manhood.

Next decision in Germany will be removing CS from the peoples that have it installed
but it's wrong :x
Post edited 2009-07-04 00:59:49
i bet on 2 matches and won both of them.. but my balance is still 0..
And that kid who killed 16 people(or smth) he had other problems. Coops found on his PC CS and he played a lot of hours of CS, he was known to be a hardcore gamer. Good knows maybe Get_right will get a gun at ESWC or other tournament and kill them all :-s.
normal people although playing cs dont kill other people -.-
Movies can be quite brutal but no one cares, its all about the games :E
so there is no "killer game". its an "action game" or a "3d shooter".
all this stupid polititions try to make more votes by banning such events and games.
they dont even known or saw this games ever.
dumb!
