A big ello goes out to all u guys who have showed interest. The LAN party looks to be going ahead (as if with quad power amp - cft players will know what I mean). -----The aim of the party---- Well to get together with some of the players I regularly kill whilst playing q2 ;-) na really. . . . I want a totally informal environment, away from competitions and structure of any type. Where players can play their game of their choice (be it Q, Q2 - and their variants, C&C, X-WING, or whatever) against other ppl face to face. We will (I hope) have access to a dedicated server to hold the bigger Q2 blood baths (if we don't. . I'll just have to go on the run to the chippy/offi and you can use my PC as a server). Even without the server, a 100mb network should kick arse, and playing on it will make internet play look like walking through mud - up to your neck wearing concrete wellies. The official "drinking policy" is that the place should not get damaged at any cost. You all will be expected to help clean after the event (that includes you TAM). (a refund of �10.00 will be given to those who set-up and tidy - if agreed before the event) ------------System Requirements---------- You will need at least a p200 (ish) with 32 Mb (minimum) ram. You will need a 100mb network card - (available from Pulse computers @ �14.00 0181 814 0800 - non-branded but it'll do the job). Due to the lack of power points, can you bring a 4 point 5 or 10 meter extension cable For you peeps who have not been to a LAN party, speakers are not recommended, bring headphones pls. - this saves on the power points as well. -----------Location-------------- It will be held in a small village called Bourne End in Buckinghamshire - just off the M4 at juct 8/9 Maidenhead or M40 (doh forgot number) at the High Wycombe turn off. ----------Facilities----------- Pub (with pool tables x2) 1 minute walk *Yea* Chippy, Indian x 2, Chinky x 2 (one posh), Mexican 5 minutes walk Offi x 2 5 minutes walk Banks - Natwest, Lloyds/TSB, Barclays cashpoints (all by offi's) Car Park Chill out Room Toilets (with running water) No Showers You will need to bring your own food/drink ----------Cost----------- As I'm sure you are all aware, nothing in this life is free, and to cover my costs, a charge of �15.00 per gaming PC, will be applied. �5.00 of which must be in my sweaty little hand (cheque pls.) 3 weeks prior to the event to secure a place. I am not going to chase your money, as I only have room for 30 PC's. And these places will be on a "first come first served basis". Your deposits will be non-refundable (unless the event get's cancelled, or the date is changed - and you can't make the alternative date). As yet, I am fairly flexible for dates. I'm looking toward the end of July / beginning of August. So if you have any wild objections shout now. ---------- Final Note------- I am completely unprofessional at this, f*ck-ups are expected. ( I do have a fair idea though 'bout puters & networks) This is my first LAN party. So if I have forgotten anything LET ME KNOW - I am many things (shut up >>>>(sh)IT<<<), but I am not telepathic. Almost finally, some of you have transport problems, please could you let me know roughly where you are travelling from and say whether you are willing to give some poor carless creatures a lift (they will of course offer fuel money). Finally, I hope we have a fragging good time and spend as much time consuming alcohol (almost) & and having a laugh as we do killing eachother. Speak to you soon Jase aka [UKLA] BlkKnight - almost bottom in the savage league (not bottom yet. . ay [SPAM]) ICQ 21629780 tndrchild@clara.co.uk
