"Unique and untried" the Dean of Student Life and Engagement said to me when she let me start a Counter-Strike club. CS is a video game of tactical shooting, popular around the world and banned only by Brazil because of "high impact violence." I think it is great stress reliving game. I was excited to lead an "untried" club and I enjoyed watching students studying the "unique" club posters I designed. They couldn't ignore images of two soldiers holding an AK-rifle and XM-shotgun. My roommates helped me to organize the first event. We reserved a computer lab for 32 players. There was a chance that no one would come to play. Ten minutes before the game, when the noon class was over, the room was full of players seated in front of monitors ready to launch the game. It was a huge success. Only 4 months passed since the first event, yet its membership has grown over 300, female and male, gay and lesbian, international and local, members united by a "violence inciting" game - Counter-Strike!
