GalwayLAN8 - Date Check

  • 23-11-2003 8:44pm
    #1
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭


    Currently looking at:
    Friday 23rd - Sun 25th January
    Fri 30th January - Sunday 1st February
    or
    Friday 6th - Sunday 8th February.
    Possible alternatives are the weekends before and after that, though the weekend before means I'll miss WarpCon in Cork

    again, no under 18s allowed due to college policy.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,126 ✭✭✭][cEMAN**


    Can't see a problem with those dates atm, but something might come up closer to the dates - I can't confirm now or say which would be better. I'll get back to you around start of january.

    Grand.

    I'll look into it tomorrow.

    Also, I'll have to enforce the "Pay the money at least a week in advance" thing again.
    Mainly for CompSoc members / students.
    toying with the idea of increasing the cost to €30 so we can get a server.
    I'll see.
    Capacity should be around the 40 mark at elast, if not more.
    We can take 46 machines at the moment. Should be more, but the Unex 24-port died and I haven't had a chance to test it's ports at all in a controlled environment.
    If anyone can bring a swithc or two with them it'd be appreciated :)

    Also, 6-way surge protectors were in Lidl or Aldi recently for €15.
    Very good strips, myself and Danny have one each.

    Queer!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 637 ✭✭✭Number6


    Cutting it a bit close to the mocks arnt ya?. I'll see how things shape up further down the line, but as of the moment i cant attend. But that may change in the future... I hope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Could someone tell me if the weekend of 31st jan - 2nd Feb is a bank holiday?

    And would a 4-day lan be a bit expensive on people staying in accomodation?
    I'm sure the native component wouldn't mind offering their couches.... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 919 ✭✭✭timeout


    Friday 23rd - Sun 25th January
    Fri 30th January - Sunday 1st February
    or
    Friday 6th - Sunday 8th February.
    Any of these would suit as the exams should be in the middle. No dates for them yet but is generally around the 12-23 i hope.
    toying with the idea of increasing the cost to €30 so we can get a server.
    Won't mind too much but had better be a good server.

    Timeout

    Well theres 5 or 6 from the lan doing the Leaving Cert this year so i guess they probably won't be going.

    I'm one of them but i might still go yet.

    I believe the leaving cert is in June. The LAN isn't. I fail to see the problem.

    Their
    Studying


    :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭strat


    my vote is for the any of the dates in january
    im working that weekend in early febuary, same with ppc and sheep


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,945 ✭✭✭Anima


    I meant the mocks were close to February.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Ok, it's going to be Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th January 2004, more than likely in the Bank Of Ireland Theatre (the venue we were in over the summer).
    Cost to be confirmed, but I want it paid into the specified account 2 weeks in advance to get you place.
    I have switch capacity for 44 people, if people bring more switches that can be raised up to about 60 people, plus space for a few servers.
    There will be about 10 spaces set aside for NUIG CompSoc members.
    Times: 9am to 11pm
    This LAN should raise enough to get started on putting together the first proper GalwayLAN server.
    Hopefully will have blackle up and running again (have to get it sorted for the house anyways) for IRCd purposes.
    I will be running Quake3 competitions (suggestions as to exactly what form ye want?), QuakeWorld compos - probably duels, a Halo Tournament (Teams or deathmatch?), and Counterstrike.
    Anyone have any other suggestions for large-scale competitions?
    Prizes will be in the usual GalwayLAN tradition.

    Fixed

    Friday 23rd - Sun 25th January 2004


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 473 ✭✭toxick


    those dates are fine for me:)

    the_penguin is most likely to come as well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    venue?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Dates are grand with me, I guess...

    I would also like to reconmend an Official Beer for GalwayLAN!

    I trust you'll agree on its GalwayLAN sponcerability?
    A beer that captivates what GalwayLAN is truly about!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    ok, this is going to sound extremely stupid to all of ye, but please remember that this idea is completely for fun, not competitionn. Well here goes, how about a Fifa 2003/2004 tourni? I'll run while I'm still alive :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    Pro Evolution Soccer 3 is the best soccer game ever.

    You cant beat it with a stick. Don't give me an bs about this, It is simply the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭electrofelix


    Think I'm going to OD on LAN's for the year, woohoo!

    Is cash into the hand good, or are you going to force everyone to put it in the account just to avoid having it around to spend.

    Is cash into the hand good, or are you going to force everyone to put it in the account just to avoid having it around to spend.

    Paid into the bank account, 2 weeks in advance.
    I want an email with confirmation of payment, your NIC's MAC address* and your desired hostname (ideally your nick, all lowercase, pure alphanumeric - no symbols eg. deathreaper, drake, raven etc.)

    This will not be implemented at this LAN, but there are plans to make IP and hostname assignment a far smoother process, involving little or no effort by ye lot, no having to remember IPs, only hostnames (hence use of the nicks) for FTPing stuff.
    The only catch is I need everyone to give me their MAC address and hostname so I can enter them in the server tables.


    * under 2k, WindowsKey+R, type "cmd" and hit return, then type "ipconfig /all" into the command prompt. Write down the "Physical address", should look something like this: 00-60-94-B8-7F-A6


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    a pro-evo 3 tourniment so, but loads of ppl would have to leach it on the day, but if thats what you want, then so be it :D

    exit Quetzal, and his pumas

    its clearly got to be a playstation 2 tourney.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    After I book the venue on Monday I'll know for sure, but there's a good chance we'll have a proper mounted data projectror for the console(s).
    Soul Calibur2 is a definite for gaming :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    Drake: Are you serious? I've never been to a galwaylan so I don't know if there's ever console gaming there. If you are, will you bring the ps2? I could bring my xbox, but I don't have pro-evo 3, and it probably wouldn't fit in the car anyways ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Yeah, the XBox is pretty bulky, dunno how anyone could fit them in a truck, let alone a car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 473 ✭✭toxick


    i say i have a progector if u need it SyxPak....bring back the classics N64:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    Robbo suggests an atari 2600 :), seriously though, I think the xbox would be best, but I don't have the game, Drake:do you have pro-evo 3 on your ps2? or anyone else for that matter? if not, I'll try and have it on my pc as a last resort


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    there was a ps2 at the last one..

    i think..

    that or an xbox. either way, there was soul caliber 2

    Yes, i've got it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    will you bring it so?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    Soul Caliber 2 Compo tbh.

    Dem has it on the Gamecube with all weapons/costumes unlocked.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,810 ✭✭✭DRakE


    yes i'll bring it.

    what good it'll do you,i've no idea

    Drake:whats that supposed to mean? :). will there be insurance on the comps overnight?as in, is there usually?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Insurance?
    Why do you think we can get away with only asking for €30 for 3 days?
    because there is no insurance, not for your machines, not for you, not for anything.
    The venue is locked from 11pm till 9am and there is the usual campus security patrolling around.
    If you're worried about leaving your machine ove night eithe a) do't bother coming or b) bring your rig home with you every night and back in again evry day.
    I'm currently in discussion with some contacts about a possible legal disclaimer or something in the event of an accident and I'd appreciate if you'd stop asking bloody awkward questions when you know the answers haven't solidified yet.
    The under-18s issue is definitely not clear-cut, and is a really delicate situation, and when you go off trying to be "helpful" and find out stuff which I already know all you're really doing is raising unneccesary attention to something I'd rather keep quiet till the appointed time.
    You have never been to a large BYOPC LAN, let alone a GalwayLAN event so in these simple words:
    Back The Fuck Off and let me get on with the organisation.
    You do not know everything, I don't care if you're trying to be helpful, I have been involved in this stuff for almost 3 years and I'm a grumpy bollocks when I'm tired.
    You've been warned several times already and if you keep on wrecking my head I will simply ban you from the LAN for causing grievous mental harm to others.

    Thanks, but no-thanks David.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    sorry, didn't mean any harm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Right, I've been talking to someone in charge of venues in NUIG, she has to run it by someone first, but I'd say we'll be sound.
    Will know hopefully sometime during the coming days.
    I'll start a new thread when I've got it confirmed.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 55 ✭✭vega_AH64


    could be some problems. i think the lan is on in the middle of gmit exams. i will have to ask if they can change the date of the exams or i will miss em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    You want to get the college to change your exams so you can go to a GalwayLAN?

    Lads, that is ferverant dedication right there (or madness, but I like the sound of the former more).

    I'm still waiting for venue 100% confirmation, but the date is pretty much set I'm afraid.

    If you think you've got a chance, go for it :) Hope to see you there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭Fobia


    methinks there should be a BIG fuhquake tourni, with rounds on Dm6 and railing on E1M8, also, there should be a small, no prizes rocket arena tourni (qw or q3), what do ye think?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    There will of course be much QW and Q3 played.
    Prizes.....in the usual style


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,945 ✭✭✭Anima


    I wonder what the range is on the GCon 2. I think i'll bring TimeCrisis 3 and see how it plays on a projector :D
