Anyone for a LAN?

Skyclad · 19-01-2000 04:23PM #1

Trinity is holding its annual games convention next month (weekend of the 25-26th I think) and hopefully theres a chance that we can run a LAN at the event. Im currently sorting out the details, but I hope to have enough space for around 40 computers if the demand is there.

It will run in a somewhat similar fashion to Gaelcon/DubLAN - bring your own at your own risk (though of course there will be guards on duty all the time).

Similarly, while there will be some bits and pieces, we will also need all the cables, hubs etc and the relevant people to make it all go smoothly.

The cost for the weekend isnt set yet, but will be in the region of £7-8 for both days, hopefully with the option to set up on Friday night. Ill have more details in the next few days, but in the mean time if anyone can help with gear, brains, sponsorship or anything else that is useful for these type of events, I'd really appreciate a mail at menthal@eircom.net or some sort of reply here.

Cheers

Dave

DAVE!!
we were wondering were you had got to!

tHE vAGGABOND · 19-01-2000 04:30PM

sounds good!

Gerry · 19-01-2000 04:46PM

I'm in, just so long as we don't have to
go home at 8 every night

El_Presidente · 19-01-2000 04:50PM

Aye, we wanna sleep (or dont sleep) there if we want to. That was my main complaint with Dublan.

Skyclad · 19-01-2000 09:58PM

It aint gonna be a sleep in job, though Im sure some accomodation can be made with nethouse or something for some after hours gaming. On the other hand, I expect to be in the pub each evening from closing time, so its not as though theres nothing else to do!

we are watching your moves with great interest

Blitzkrieger · 19-01-2000 10:22PM

I'm confused (so what else is new

). Are u talking about a LAN party where peep bring their own PCs, or setting up a LAN and charging peep to use it?

quozl · 20-01-2000 12:14AM

Errrrrrrrr. Don't know. I'll have to consult my consultants and there Ma's Ma's Ma's Ma's Ma's Mazda...........

P.Brennan must be killed he has brought everything that sheep and goats have fought for over the past centurys and threw it back at their faces. He uses them to get his wicked way and now has a mouth the size of a bazooka. This man must be assasinated.

Sonic · 20-01-2000 01:07AM

i think by next month he means in february Sonic. I assume your exasm will be done by then. So all is well.

Toulouse · 20-01-2000 03:15AM

Sounds interesting...

Jak · 20-01-2000 09:07AM

Sounds good - Where in Trinity? (just Curious)

As this may be part of the gaming convention, can we expect a disproportionate amount of bearded folk in Star Trek uniforms brandishing tin foil axes?

ps- Who wants to share or carry a pc?

WhiteWashMan · 20-01-2000 09:13AM

could well be interested.
but what are yis playing?
dont tell me it will all be qw, or will there be a bit of UT as well. oh, and q3a i suppose

creative · 20-01-2000 09:33AM

aye......sounds deadly. From what time in the morning to what time in the evening? Or (hopefully) is it 24hr?

Blitzkrieger · 20-01-2000 11:03AM

Count me out then. I can't be assed carrying a PC all the way to Dublin!

Sonic · 20-01-2000 11:48AM

there will be me , my comp , three 12 port 10mbit hubs and as much cabling as i can carry , looks good.

Skyclad · 20-01-2000 03:32PM

Itll be no worse/better then gaelcon. Seems like we can get 2 of the upstairs rooms, but I dont know how big they are (the large taps rooms apparently). I'd prefer to be in the main hall, and see if the old guard guy will let us use the big projector like 2 years ago (for those who remember it). On the other hand, the gamers freaks dont like the idea of the computer gamer freaks being in the same room as them, as I'm sure you can well understand.

Anyway, must go do something constructive with my day, like go get a job or something.

Emperor · 20-01-2000 03:55PM

Slosh · 20-01-2000 08:28PM
