to all the guys who organised the LAN... you know who you are
:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:
and to all the guys that came and made a fun place to frag
Aye, thanks all, had a great time. True to form, I probably offended half of March and I still don't get it, but there must be somnething about the place, I keep coming back.
Lovely curry last night, thanks Bob / Lionheart / Del, thoroughly enjoyed it, saw off your local vindaloo without hitch, until 6am this morning when it was insistent on seeing the light of day again. Cheers gents, even if you had to put up with my diatribes about the March museum.
So, in closing, cheers for another great LAN weekend. See you at the next.
So you made it home safely Benny.
Yes thanks lads for sorting this weekend out. :yahoo:
Game of the weekend must have been zombie CS:S. I nearly wet myself when Benny slapped Jamoe off the balcony :roflmao:, I still snigger now when I think of it! :norty: The amazing thing was that he didn't get zombified and made it back to our hidey-hole! :lmfao:
We need to get it added to the Friday night rota I think. Must try it on Whitey/Sadako's new map. I think it has great potential on that. Might have to slow the zombies down a bit and make them a bit easier to kill.
yeah great LAN guys, had loads of fun and now can't wait for the next one:dribble:
Yup, great LAN, again.
I'm still aching from laughing so hard at Benny admin slapping anyone that wasn't securely fixed in place on Kismayo Zombie server.:roflmao:
Although I may have been his not so unwitting accomplice when he wanted to know who was balanced on the railings. :devil:
Myself and GhostMjr made is through to get thorougly trounced by Sadako and Buttafacio in the `Deagle Tourney` final*.
The usual bout of DOA PC's, some of which weren't fixable. It seems strange that Sadako can arrive with a PC and Delan can arrive with a case full of bomb bits to build a PC from t'continent and they always work. But a couple of hours driving see's off a lot of our local ones.

Fix
Thanks guys for a great LAN.
The Zombie session last night was brilliant :roflmao:
I couldn't agree more with the comments above. The weekend had everything. From hard fought tournaments (deagle comp excluded - easy win tbh for Doc and Butta) to end the weekend playing it must have been 4 or 5 hours of Zombie! OMG that was sooo funny! :D
I'm gonna post a bit later a proper noobs/virgin guide to the LAN probably aimed at all those people who didnt make it and for those people who have never been to one.
Although I didn't bring my kit I experienced the true ethos of dMw LANs. Getting sloshed, talking crap and eating faaaaar too much! :doh: Hard to think it may well be my last LAN :sad:
Rock on dMw. :yahoo:
Well I really enjoyed my first LAN so thanks very much guys. It was great to finally put faces to names...
Thanks to Doorman and Tealeaf for loaning me some kit and thanks to Bigfatcat from the lift to London I got home earlier than I would have left March :)
Funniest part of the weekend for me was our final round of the deagle comp where at 6 - 6 I shot Blunt in the head and got kicked effectively losing the match.. Sorry Blunt..
It was also funny watch Jabbs get a tan off his monitor!

LooL what can I say - I'm redfaced Venom! :D
And yes, that heady on Blunt was awesome! Because you did it in the first few seconds you got kicked and as you say lost the match!
Yet Another Great LAN:D
Zombies was hilarious late last night, and a brilliant way to learn a map*
The Deagle tourney ended in tears for me, tears of laughter:lmfao: that was probably your best shot all w/end Venom:sideways:
Thanks for all your hard work you LAN Pixies, it ran like a well oiled machine.
*Patent Pending
a big thankyou to all those who put in the effort to make these events what they are. The sous chef will learn the folly of betting against me eating a snack sized steak. Plus we won 8-1 at Wembley today.

Damn it, I was going to steal that off you as well.
Can't agree more, we found so many extra places that we had never even seen before on Kismayo. Some poor map maker out there went to all the expence of adding roof top hiding places we never even knew about.
So, what night is going to be Zombie night.
Lots of drink and 'all talk' is a definate requirement.

Make it a the second (and late) half of Friday evenings?

Watch this space:D
well not "this" exact space, but nearby, in the vicinity.
just stare into space:blink:
First off, A BIG THANKS to all those that lent me screw drivers, pliers, knives, advice and what not.
For those that don't know, my motherboard died on the trip down to the LAN and I spent the best part of Friday on the phone getting numbers for anything IT/Peterborough related. (Thanks to the wife for that)
3 hours later and with about 30 minutes before shops close I get a tip off and find a nice little independent IT shop. -£50 and +1 motherboard later I battle the rush hour traffic and get back to the LAN about 5:30.
Minus another couple of hours and a T-Bone steak later I have finally manager to boot my PC. HURRAH!
I guess it was just my turn.
Second Off :)
Thanks to everyone, the organisers, the members, the admins that slap you off balconies while being hunted my flash eating zombies. It would be crap without you.
Thirdly, a little apology to some of the guys I didn't get much of a chance to speak too (ACL), the weekend went far to quick.
Finally , just a quick mention, it was great meeting Venom, Jabbs and Doc for the first time. It was also good to see Delan again :), glad you guys could make it.
Cya when my PC has been rebuilt and I've repaid the wife with some quality time.
Thanks Again
Jamoe aka Docs Bitching MoJo.
What a great weekend, my first lan experiance was superb, a great bunch of guys always willing to help, thanks to armitage for the lift and technical assistance, and also everyone who helped me over the course of the weekend, look forward to the next one.:yahoo:

Rock on dMw. :yahoo:
Amen to that (except the bit about it being your last LAN) and thanks for the loan of a monitor Doors and some kind souls loan of a cable. Meeting all the familiar 'names' in person was a buzz and I had a fantastic weekend. Thanks guys,hopefully this will not be my last LAN, but if I kept drinking at that rate it may well have been. Cheers :yahoo:
Thanks to all whom made it possible:worshippy:
Thanks to all :) really enjoyed my first dmw lan :D
Was amazed that I had no pc problems and everything fired up first time! first time my pc had travelled too.
Thanks to my wonderful deagle teammate sadako :)mum was chuffed i won that bottle of cava except tis all mine - she aint getting any! :rolleyes:

Cheers gents, even if you had to put up with my diatribes about the March museum.
Great fun, good fun, quite fun, still fun, more of that next time please.
Let us arrange a dMw trip to that museum next time and get it sorted then!
Your last lan??? How come Doorman? Thanks again mate for setting up LFS for me much appreciated - I now have no excuse not to play it :D

FB told me about March a bit during LAN XII and it was quit interesting so count me in.
LAN XI we drove back and a spitfire flew over and also a Lancaster I believe. Damn thos engine sounds...
Quote from: Jamoe;228796Cya when ....I've repaid the wife with some quality time..
Do you get someone out of yellow pages for that? I could do with some for my missus.
Yeah cheers for a good weekend guys, would have been better if I hadn't snapped the connector head of my SATA hard drive and had to spend nearly all of friday night reinstalling EVERY-BLOODY-THING whilst panicking that I'd lost all my degree work. Thankfully Sulky managed to Jerry-Rig my drive to get it working long enough to back my stuff up!! Still I got some good play time in.
Playing on the Wii on friday night with everyone was a blast (I still can't beleive I won at Golf!) and I even had a go a CSS (my first time) and I quite liked it so I might be joining you guys online sometime :) My short go on LFS with my God awful steering wheel (BTW thanks Doorman for getting that going!) has whet my appetite enough to go buy a decent wheel and getting into that as well.
Only got a few crap photos with my camera phone as in my rush to get packed I forgot my decent camera, still it seemed that there were plenty of people there taking much better photos than me anyway :)
Shame about the rest of the B.I.G Guys not being able to make it this time around but hopefully we'll get the gang all back together for LAN XIV.
