If you think you can contribute your time and expertise to LAN XIII then please send me a PM or reply below stating which bit or bits you feel you are interested in and we'll appoint people once we have an idea of the range of candidates.
EVEN IF SOMEONE HAS VOLUNTEERED FOR A ROLE YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH - PLEASE SAY SO BELOW. SOME OF THESE ARE BIG JOBS AND CAN OFTEN DO WITH MORE THAN ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.
Thank you.
PEN / TL
ill do your technical support thing or anything else if required
If I get there early enough, I can run the network cables along with the power. If we spend a little time doing it properly, we can avoid important cables crossing any open areas that get walked on.
If the LAN server is available remotely, I can set up the CS stuff pre-LAN.
:thumbsup2: thanks guys
Whitey,I have no idea. Would you mind asking/liaising with Oldie on that?
Thanks
PEN
I can do the photies... and I can do a video n'all if you like.
I'm happy to help Mats if required. I'll help with the network piece if required, but will lose interest rapidly after the 3rd pint.
appointed and appointed - thanks :thumbsup2:
(Benny, I'll ask BB to add you to the sub-forum game committee)
(Merdok, great on the video - just don't (for the love of God) let Benny and Squonk get their hands on it! )
PEN

I know, he's gonna be a tought act to follow as, let's face it, if he shouted from Cuba we'd probably still hear him :roflmao:
PEN

Noted :)
I can do keys.
Could help with games committee stuff too if needed.
If you are really stuck I would play MC, as a last resort and only in a NF stylie. I am obviously not worthy, but you may be stuck.
I expect someone in our crew will bring a server along too so we can load recent releases or demos for last minute fun.
Thanks Paddy.
You 'top table' guys are perfect for security as you're true hardcore all night gamers :worship:.
Really appreciate the offer of the Server again. It certainly helps to spread the load and work and worked really well last time. It would be great if you're happy to do so again :thumbsup2:
We'll also liaise about what games etc you'll be bringing
PEN
You can put me down for Tech Support and Security (I was often one of the last up)
Also, should the keys be handed back in to the night warden after lockup? Or should we keep them?
All those appointed will be required to use their special people skills and Admin equipment as demonstrated by this Admin (http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7095/3561wq0.jpg) at dMw LAN XI.
