lo,

Its gone under quite a bit of discussion in TeamSpeak, following on from the much earlier thread, would YOU be up for joining us for a LAN Party?

A couple of points:

Location:
Most like in mid country somewhere, most likely Birmingham

Timing:
Sometime in November, preferably around a school holiday and on a weekend for sure.

Cost:
This has yet to be investigated

Kit:
Unless its a dedicated centreÂ where kit (and hopefully beer) is provided, you woudl ahve to bring your own gaming rigs

Games:
Anything is up for n00b'in

Wouldn't be able to make it.

1. I'm 16, my parents wouldn't let me go up there.

2. It'd be like 5 hour drive or something.

3. my parents suck and i wanna go

i can hold my drink! Get some magners or stella

Great idea that LAN party, however I will be unable, and certainly not permitted by GF, to attend that.

New n00b on my block needs attention, time-off from work is limited...

Hope the members that do attend have a great n00bing time !!

I'd pwn you with the beers, let there be no doubt about that.

Cheers,
Broeder.

I seriously suggest looking at what Dunk posted, and going on from there.
Maybe November would be too early though to organise properly?
I was thinking, you could do something late December/Early January as a christmas/new year type thing?

Still think it's a great idea, and could really turn out well.

Quick note. . . Victims could attend right, coz i'm not sure if i'll be UKMD by the time it's all sorted, and it all sounds so exciting

Sounds like an excellent idea, however i wouldnt want to haul my pc on the train, but other than that i reckon i would be well up for it.

Keep working on it and i reckon we will be killing each other in one big room soon enough

Correction.... you will all be killing me!

NoNoNoNo....Jun, when THAT happens there will be a problem.
I'm not sure who's problem that will be.
Why would you feel left out?

The only thing when you're attending is that you'll be put, together with *K*O*S* & Haze, in stabbers corner...

Would prefer to get the train down so my attendance would depend if I have to bring my PC or not. Driving is a possibility but I'd rather not drive down as I'd get hopelessly lost

Don't think I have any holidays left for this year but that shouldn't be too much of a problem if it's going to be on a weekend.

I like the look of that place Dunk posted as it has a bar! Regarding the idea of holding this nearer the end of the year, remember that a lot of people have family commitments, etc around that time and are generally skint! If people think November is too soon then maybe sometime in the 1st quarter of next year would be better.

As long as I have enough notice its no problem for me to attend and I might be able to 'persuade' my son to transfer his allegiance into UKMD on this basis as well!

Bringing the rigs would be no problem and I could probably accommodate 2/3 others (+rigs) in the car if people wanted lifts from Oxford/Swindon area.

I would be up for this and there are lots of decent comments here

but in summary

(1) Someplace where we need not bring our PC's looks prefered. certainly for us that would need to do some serious travel.
(2) After Christmas is a better idea, i start new job soon so November would be a non starter

and to add

I would rather we all rock up, play some games, have fun and get drunk. rather than having Moggie dealing with a server,admins doing there thing. And does anyone have any experience of setting one of these up?

flights for Jack and me would be apprx Â£100. would need to source some accomodation as well

I'm with Dunk, I think the Omega Sektor sounds like a plan; it gives a definite place to host it and no worries about setting up/lugging rigs etc.
Only slight concern is that they don't seem to list TF2 anywhere

Now stop noobing around in the midlands and come down to London, the lot of you!

I agree with you on the rigs Dunk, it could be done but the hassle might put some people off.

If we can arrange it for January then rooms are cheap, for instance.......

Emailed them this morning and will cal lthem later this afternoon.

TF2 is not a problem, as I'll take a box with the server files if needed
