computer society?

Redrocket · 22-11-2004 11:26AM #1

is there any sort of computer society/game society in the tallaght that plays games...
e.g. counter strike or quake3 or something like that.

Giblet · 22-11-2004 11:28AM

There is, but they don't know their arses from their elbows.

It'd be good because theres a few decent Quake and CS players.

Spunog UIE · 22-11-2004 07:53PM

set one up

, tis handy to do, if you've the time and your in 1st/2nd year, do two grants a year to get money to run it.

TheWolf · 22-11-2004 09:48PM

Theres one already set up. Next gaming night is Dec 5th (i think, will confirm)
It looks like its going to be a fiver for the whole night. Cant remember where exactly it is, will let you know

TheWolf · 22-11-2004 10:19PM

Okay, name of the place is Chillout, its along the south quays near the haypenny bridge. Date is Dec 3rd, Cost is €5

Whats the deal with the closed registration on your forums anyway. It seems to be a society for the commitee, and stop stealing SA smileys!

Redrocket · 22-11-2004 10:57PM

that doesnt sound great, a gaming night???
We run CompSoc ( computer society but all we do is play games ) every monday and wednesday night from 5-10pm in the college.
Im asking ye about your GameSoc/CompSoc in the chance that we might be able to get a multiplayer college V college thing...

TheWolf · 23-11-2004 11:04AM

Forums are for soc members only, but were enabling guest posting.

The gaming night coming up is the first one this year, we've been a bit slow in orgainising them since our last venue (DNC) closed down. Unfortunatley theres nowhere in the college to play, so we have to rely on external venues

Be more than happy to organise an inter college dealie, something we've been considering ourselves but we wanted to get a few games nights going beforehand.

I'll PM my email addy if you want to set something up

Redrocket · 23-11-2004 11:50AM

well, as i said, we play twice a week in the college in a free lab.
an inter college thing would be easier to setup. in fact the only hard thing about it would be talking to computing services to get them to allow our gaming traffic through the firewall.
DCU also said they might be interested in a gaming night.

TheWolf · 23-11-2004 12:09PM

Happy days. We'll see if we can get a few colleges interested in it, maybe setup a league of some sort

Giblet · 23-11-2004 09:46PM

How about Quake 3 CTF!

jaysonia · 24-11-2004 01:28PM

woot i finally got my account working again. :P im the man about gaming nights in the soc in it-t.

Spunog UIE · 24-11-2004 02:35PM

eh?

jaysonia · 24-11-2004 03:15PM

im the one who organizes all the gaming nights and all.

Redrocket · 24-11-2004 04:22PM

it doesnt bother me what game is played intersocs wise
quake3 i would prefer, if the game is CS, i wont be playing on the team though, i hate CS

but i will still organise something to try to get more interest in the society and to have a bit of craic.

Redrocket · 24-11-2004 04:23PM

Big P · 28-11-2004 04:40AM

Yeah thats it shift the blame slowly but surely. Muhahaha.

Anywho, I really like the idea of the inter gaming thingy-ma-jig, Jaysonia is the man to talk to it about. We should deffo do it after Xmas, we can use it as a nice relaxer for after the exams.

Giblet · 28-11-2004 02:36PM

Me, Gideon and Vincent from boards are in Tallaght, get another 2 players for CS or Q3CTF and I guarentee we'd win.

jaysonia · 28-11-2004 05:59PM

CS im half decent at that.

Spunog UIE · 28-11-2004 09:58PM

anyone with cs/quak and a connection, should just join a common server before then for a laugh???? eh eh?

jaysonia · 28-11-2004 10:02PM

i usually play on the cs server #motiongaming.co.uk | The Phoenix
213.230.200.75:27015

actually im gonna head on now

Spunog UIE · 28-11-2004 10:03PM

one of you in the society should get on to Tim, tell him what you need, and he'll help ya out. Very helpful when I was doing the Karting *biggest club in college for 2 years!*

For matches are you gonna try use the college connection ( i can see a world of pain right there, but might get it due the whole 'intervarsity' aspect) or meet up in a common place?

If you actually managed to get them to budge on using their connection, it would be better, simple because it would cost us less, and could happen a lot more often. Another thing ya need to think about is, if you do get it, would you have to use the college pc's which probally not up to it except some of the engineering ones, but ideally, would everyone have their own pc that they would bring into the college? When would you have it, after hours, prob best.

Anyhew just food for thought, carry on!

Giblet · 28-11-2004 10:09PM

Intervarsities attract money more than anything. They'll throw it at you. Depends on numbers, but I could get something special worked out, if we get say, over 50 !!!

Spunog UIE · 28-11-2004 10:56PM

good server, it liked me anyway, love that feeling when you hitting where your aiming.

Big P · 29-11-2004 06:01PM

I could see it being very difficult for our college to open up the necessary ports for us to play games because

a) games are banned [dunno if you found that out the hard way last year like some people lol]
b) They're so damn slow. Even NetSoc had trouble getting SSH.

computer society?
