WCU Gaming Club leader Faulkner battles for domain Amber Ethridge Contributing Writer Western Carolina Uni- versity is home to several types of organizations and clubs. Among those clubs, the Western Carolina Gaming Club is becoming increasingly popular. The club started on January 30, 2005, when two men had a common goal of gaming. On Octo- ber 27, 2005, the club was founded, and the first posts were added to the forum. President Dustin Faulkner inherited the club from his older brother Adam Faulkner. In a recent phone in- terview, Dustin Faulkner proudly stated how the club is steadily growing. Yep, I think I beat his [Adam Faulkner] record for the most people at the last LAN [Local Area Network], said Faulkner. The club plans these LAN events but also helps with, what they call, mini LANs. For instance, the Cats Den wanted to host a LAN and went to the Gaming Club because Faulkner _knew how to set it up.. Playing online can be dangerous. If you do not know your competitor, then you do not know if he/she has ulterior motives, such as hack- ing into your account, etc. With a secure place to game, knowing the people you are playing against is safer. The road has not been easy for this group, though: There was drama in the past between two groups of students: found- ers vs. other students that envisioned the club differently. Faulkner had to re-charter and restart. the club. Instead of eatorine to a handful of people, we are now getting students involved and out of their dorms, said Faulkner. Most of the students that were causing prob- lems have left Western Carolina. Faulkner is still trying to get the domain back to IT. Since one of the older members deleted the WCUGAM- ING website, Faulkners brother now hosts wcu- gaming.org as a spon- sor with his company. Faulkner is worried that if the former members do not release the domain to - WCUs IT Services, there HO A Mee Ay will be a legal battle. Le- gal battles would be long and tiresome. If the club doesnt receive this do- main and the gentlemen gets rid of it, Faulkner is worried that the club will not get as many sponsors and that students and others will be mislead by the site... The club is non-profit. Originally, the LANS were free; however, the club lost a large part of. their budget due to previ- ous presidents misuse of money and laziness to get sponsors. There is now a $5 entry fee. Residential Living has stuck by the club through their ups and downs. The clubs founders showed the idea to Keith Corzine, director of residential life, who loved it so much * that he has funded the server and about every LAN in some way. Faulkner said, In my opinion, Keith has been under appreciated by the club, and he deserves so much gratification. . Without Keith, this club would have defintely hit rock bottom. The club itself is funded by sponsors. Due to the past clashes in the club a lot of sponsors have left. During the last six months, the club has seen a turn around. Not only have they retained new sponsors, the club has also drafted a new constitution, which is now in effect. They meet when Faulkner or the secretary plan a meeting, usuallly around seven p.m. on a Thursday. tT hope to provide a learning experiencein any field they would like, a stress-free environ- ment, and ultimately a . lifelong connection to the. school and people they meetin the club... We ~ provide a family in a way. A lot of people dont fit in at school, but in this club we are diverse and dont discriminate. Were like a social network for gamers and casual people . wanting to meet some . cool people, Faulkner replied when asked what the club provides to the student body. : For more information about the Western Caro- lina Gaming club, feel free to visit www. wGugaming. org or contact Faulkner \ via email at dcfaulkner3@ catamount:weu.edu.
