Hmmmm. If I had some obstacles of mine cleared, I'd be going offline because I've been to an offline gathering once. And despite knowing offline is fun to begin with, I still dream excessively about it.......until reality comes back and says "my dick first" haha.
True, every time I look for players locally I find a bunch of casuals but no competitive players. At least there is a local scene at all... I just need to host some workshops to teach people about the game.
