Good LAN, my review is up if anyone wants to look, I have a few things I'd like to find out though. I left early due to catching a bad cold so I wonder: What were the prizes? I saw the box of t-shirts etc but what were the other ones?

What time did ye finish up at?

We couldn't get a server running in time due to lack of network connection and ut dedicated server's insistence that it needed to authenticate itself on the net.

AAAAAAaHHHHhhhHHH sOOOOOOOooooo there where no rts's played I see (well not the important ones ahuh[Shogun tw]). I'm sorry that I missed it but I have imo a shiiiit(not enjoyable due to deplorable performance imo imo imo imo) machine and no money to buy a new <make me feel good> system.

OoooHHhh money (and service to ones society) really does dominate ones existance on this planet's life structure. And remember kids money talks and bullshiiiieet walks. I'm having a phsycothic embolism/episode(whatever) or something to that effect.

:rolleyes:

:mad:

:eek: :cool:

ARGINITE · 08-02-2005 04:36PM

I got loads:) poor falcon!

The http://galwaylan thing was excilent. other than the 1 or 2 power failures it was a great lan!

DRakE · 08-02-2005 07:03PM

No power failures downstairs

Wish i could have been there before 5pm on Saturday.. nevermind though

Sniipe · 08-02-2005 10:05PM

The [url]Http://galwaylan[/url] was something I saw at Darkside and gamecon. Its the same program they used. All it takes is a few mins to set it up. I'll add more stuff to it next time (Sniipe's Custom stuff...). The lan was great. I did enjoy setting up the tourneys. I learned alot from it... ie how to put up a q3 server... OSP

I would have organised the UT thing but I thought someone else was doing it. DOW would have been a good compo but we had a good laugh without it being tourney.

Next time I do it I will prob start earlier. Limit the teams in CS, as it was difficult to find a sign up number divisible by 5 (someone was ****ing with me....putting there name on and then taking it off as I walked upstairs...and when I find out...) I enjoyed the q3 2v2 (I'm convinced now that it was better than being a 1v1)

I'm totally pissed off at some ppl who didn't participate in the games... I understand that we all can't like every game, but it makes the whole thing better with more numbers. I was going to name names but thats harsh. Anyway you know who you are.

Leeching is a big thing at the lan for some but if I had my way it would be limited vigouriously to certain time frames. Another thing I'd like to see implemented is everyone eating at the same time...

Anyway, I'm re-iterating **** I've been saying before.

I don't want to be known as a moaner like que. Best lan I've been at since the last GLan (besides darkside).

Roll out Glxiii and I would prefer it next time in Menlo (heating will be fixed). We can go back to the anno every second one or something??

[edit: ppl that don't arrive before 2pm or something should not be guarnteed a place, unless they let an organiser know before hand. A few ppl did not turn up on the day. There was someone on the waiting list that could have gotten in plus there was also 2 others who arrived at the lan that would have payed and played had we known that u guys weren't coming. /edit]

Oh stfu, the only other LANs you've been to since the last glXII (besides darkide) are Gamecon, which seems to be mainly aimed at console gamers, and Midlan, which, though growing, is nothing compared to Galwaylan in terms of size.

I aint moaning, I just think alot of changes could be made, so in the words of the infallible Syxpak, Suck my balls.

your humble non-comformist who'll take part in the dance-off so as not to comform with the other non-comformists,

Wow, you must have spent lots of money to get that many games!

Also, Menlo is just too far away from town

Hey, Syxpak, how many tournis did you compete in this LAN?

Ruffty^ · 09-02-2005 11:49PM

I think he assassinated sin and claimed victory in the q3 tounry along side drake...

ARGINITE · 10-02-2005 01:03PM

yes you would think lots of money but i know ppl who can get good deals

wherever menlo is further away from town sounds worse

Sniipe · 11-02-2005 08:35PM

Menlo = more ppl = bigger lan = more money = more tourneys with more ppl

aSS g0BliN · 13-02-2005 02:29AM

lol microsoft is getting to him

Ronan|Raven · 13-02-2005 02:41AM

I like cake.

Its a capital M for Microsoft, mister

U back yet Ronan|Raven? How did the Vimen treat u?

Actually now that I have thought about it; Anno is fine atm, but if more ppl sign up we should consider menlo. As an example this time Anno was perfect as there was only 1 on the waiting list.

DRakE · 13-02-2005 04:31PM

Micro$oft!

More people sign up depending on what the number allowed is, for example a couple of IrishWAN lads were interested but didn't sign up cus there were already 6 on the waiting list......I think Menlo + Heating would make for a great LAN, stay tuned and remember; Cake is a made up drug.
