Hi again,

Just to refresh your memory, the date has been provisionally set for the
24th & 25th of July.

Thanks to those how replied to my last mail.

Unfortunately over 2/3s of you didn't    ;-(

From my point of view, this would either mean that you are no longer
interested, or your lazy (hopefully the second).

Please, please , please reply to this as I have to fork over the deposit for
the hall in a couple of days.

If you are unable to make the date (and are interested in a future date) put
the word UNABLE in the message header.
As I'm hoping to hold another LAN party some time toward the end of August /
beginning of September

If you are not interested put the word REMOVE in the message header, and
please let me know why (i.e.: cost transport etc)


On a lighter note,  my clan [UKLA] didn't come second from bottom    ;-)

we actually came third from bottom, not a great improvement I grant you, but
considering we only properly started just before the season, we did well.

I'll inform you of any extra bits'n pieces as I get the info.

Now that would depend on your exact categorisation and/or definition of 
lazy per se. Can't really be arsed to answer it anyway, heh.

What you need is a webby with details, how many people, names of people, 
etc.

Yup, we had everything planned out beforehand thanks to the lanparty 
website   :)

There was no space at all, let alone floor space   :)
I sodded off into the car at 5am for some kip (and luckily was paranoid 
enough to pull a quilt over me and lock all the doors, heh), and I 
believe Gonzo took the patio outside judging by the pictures, heh.
Julio took the easy route out at first and just decided to make an 
imprint of his keyboard in his forehead   :)

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
