and mandatory urine samples should be taken to determine caffeine levels before playing at lan competitions.

    Unfortunately this is really true.

    Normally in a person, there is a chemical that is produced in the brain when they're awake. The more awake they are, the more produced this chemical is, and the more attentive they become.

    When they begin to feel sleepy, or are asleep, the supply of this chemical is diminished.

    However, caffeine helps stimulate the brain to create more of this chemical within our brains and keep us awake. Unfortunately when taken while awake, the chemical is overproduced, and gives the person an abnormally high attention span given they nhave drunk more than enough.

    So what your saying is that we must sleep when at LANs? never! I will continue to take my crates of Red Bull to wherever I shall be playing games.

    problem with caffiene is it only lasts so long no matter how long you drink... your body can only keep this 'heightened' state for a limited period of time before you burn yourself out and once you hit that sluggish, sleepy down no amount of redbull or caffienated drinks will save you =3

    It's also a little harder to concentrate properly when caffed-up so it's lousy for sniping/ambushing because you probably won't have the patience to pull it off properly XD

    For ns or especially games like unreal tournement caffine would help. One of the big promoters for Unreal Tourn. was a mega caffine drink which everyone was drinking. There are not a lot of lan games that you need patients. True snipers need to be, but games with snipers also have 5 other clases you can be. I think instead of caffine everyone should use x. lol can you imagine that lan party. Dude look at all the colors on my screen or I dont want to kill him he is my friend even if he is a Nazi.

    I'll reopen the thread if anybody - <i>any body</i> - can give me an explanation of why this is of any significance to Natural Selection.
