Looks good. However, I would rather have a TF2 server than an Airborne server if I could choose.

Well that's not a problem if anyone has a 'demo' available which people could use?

Well if you want to name it as an officially supported game then let's tell people now (even if it's the only one we list at the minute).

Kinda like a teaser with more to come.

That way people get a chance to get it.

WDYT?

I had another look today and it seems that release date is only for the beta of TF2. So, I am not sure if the gold version will be available by the Lan. Therefore we may only be playing the beta. However to be able to play the beta you must first buy tf2 which is only presently available via the orange box we will have to say that people will have to buy the orange box presently and then when its made available to buy individually we can change it to just tf2.

If we do announce it then let me sort out the affiliate links for it so you can include them in the post!

Thats a good point. We could get a good amount of money through these schemes if we link them. Has steam got an affliate scheme aswell as amazon and play?

Yes please Paul if you'd be so kind.

Let's announce it out this week - that means people have 6 weeks to get their stuff sorted ok?

Unfortunately not.  I think.  Anyone know otherwise?  I think they kinda like their monopoly too much to share it.....

I only found this

http://support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=123

which doesn't help.

So then, I'm conscious that we still haven't posted up any games list and would like too shortly.


Based on comments, how's this looking?

1. Officially Supported Games - confirmed
CS:S
LFS
TF2 Beta
WoW Server         - TL tbc

2. Mystery games guest appearances by (but no official server): Bioshock
MoH Airbourne

3. Comps
1. CS Main
2. Cs Deagle
3. LFS (tbc)

4. Prizes (£100)
tbc


Thoughts?

I'd assume no affiliate for the TF2, looks like Steam is currently the best way via theOrange box.  You might also want to see how TF2 pans out in the community!

I'm ok with the above Pen. We can put up the games list as is but with as sadako points out it may be subject to change ( more games may be added). We need to get the word out regarding the need to purchase the orange box and get ppl to start playing it :).

Post by: Penfold on September 23, 2007, 08:11:58 PM
Ok then does someone want to post it up ?

Mats, Sheep or Ghosty as the Committee??

I'll do it if needed but obviously better coming from y'all.

lol could well be a bit of fun....

I'm certainly different and may be worth a shot (excuse the pun).

However we do seem to have quite a few games going - especially if we're having Bioshock and MohAA as well.

Why not ! I'd give it a go
