lynch_3001

right, i posted a couple of weeks back about a new lan party in carlow. this is what i have come back with thurs 20th april in a 5 hour lan party. people tell me if this suits you or not. also take the poll to see what to play. i will have a copy of all of these on the day.

As you're playing these games via Steam, don't you need individual CD-Keys for each computer on the network who wants to play it?.

pretty limited games there. why play battlefield 1942 instead of battlefield 2? its a far superior game. also, you'd need CS, source and 1.6 (to keep the fanboys happy).

finally, the best way to get a lan party going is to book a hall or a conference room somewhere that allows 24hr attendance. a 5 man is a bit small...also with exams coming up, not too many people would be there i'd say.

lynch_3001

right if you want more games you tell me ok but its battle 1942 cause it doesnt need as much power to run and its cheaper
second its in the parish centre for three reason:
again cheapness
also warmt and heat(its that or the room over capenters, its fckin freezin up there, trust me i know)
and there is no conference room that allow 24h access, i know i work in the hotelin industry

finally, 5 hours is the max out i want full profit to made out of this and its thurs 21 april due to the wait, if not then its waitin till late june as i will be away with this equipment, skiving in some far away place :eek:

:eek: five hours? by the time everyone gets networked and has their pc's up and running there'll be 4 of those hours gone. if you want people to attend you gotta make it longer

Sounds to me like this is all about making money. Aside from the fact that boards isnt here to promote business ventures, this all sounds very shady. Anyway, have fun...

Just going by what you've said...
Honestly, I'm letting it slide in any case as Carlow could do with more Lan parties, whether the organiser is money grubbing or not. So just carry on, but try to be a little bit more civil about this whole nasty affair, please.

lynch_3001

in relation to the last 2:
1. Ivan,THANKS!!
2. around 20-22 ppl 22 is the max out on the hub! tell your friends

Psycopat

ill be honest with you a lan that small and with only 5 hours may not seem appealing to most people

X-Calibre

The size to me sounds fine, soem of the best lans I've been to have been 20 or less.:D 5 hours mightnt be too bad, as long as theres no network issues. If you have everything set up when we get there and you know your router works then it should be ok.

But how much are you thinkin of charging for a 5 hour lan?

EDIT: I voted for CSS but I'd play 1.6 aswel

Psycopat

i dunno x.cal we can have lans in our house for as long as we want for free and up to 16 ppl when we get of network equipment. im not so much complaining about the ammount of people or cost just the 5 hours

Ivan

Alright, we get it. You think 5 hours is too short, now please, leave it alone.

lynch_3001

right, in relation to the network troubles, i dont think we will have any, i got a whole lot a codes that work(see my computer gets everything).:D

so?? how much. i would go for 1.6 alright.

lynch_3001

its going to be €5.50-€6 depending on bookings. also 1.6 aint in it dont know who added it to the poll its source unless someone will give me a couple of copies, but also i can cs condition zero if theres demand.:p

tom_ass19

lynch_3001

i dont have 1.6 so thats the answer i will run it if i am supplied with it

Sch!Sm

i agree we now have the neccesary stuff for our own lan so why pay to go to a lan only slightly bigger, with people we dont know, while dragging our p'cs around?

and anyway we have GHM LAN on the 29th

well if the above is the atitude you guys are takin i will just cancel it, its no use 4 me to go to all that trouble if noones going to come!! :mad:

tom_ass19

look man, main reason i think no one wants to go is that you dragged this topic on for too long...people wana hear about me like a week before n say oooo ill go to that coz its on this weekend...so they can make arragements...also its gettin close to the end of yr so ppl are thinking about other things...

lynch_3001

well would ppl come after the exams if there still around i can arrange a new meet for then. i want commited signatures to it.
