NOT ENOUGH MINERALS

[swarm32]

LanClan last weekend went surprisingly (ok scarily) smoothly. Alright, it went so smoothly that it was really damn scary. Anyways, there were many bots slain, larger numbers of zerg, protoss and terrans slain, a substantial quantity of soviets and allies slain with a few yuri's thrown in to boot, as well as two cases of soda.

There is a small fiscal issue that I need to get together with everyone on and that is a couple of small potential purchases for the group. I am looking at a few options to make things go slightly smoother and to make our lives easier.
