what times u lot arriving [aprox]
About the same time as last time..........About 8:30....AM
errm...i think it was nearer 10am...
We all left my house at 7am and it took us 1 half hours to get there so the math says wat? :D
That depends whether or not you have set your house clocks to tie in with the server's time. I mean, you could be up to a whole hour out :lol:
I was thinking of aiming to be there for circa 9.00am so that we have time to set things up, get everyone cabled into the switch, get the server up and running and get coffee etc before a morning's gaming kicks off.
TL. 8)

breakfast :bucktooth:
Roger that, I'll join you for breakfast if that's all right Oldie :D
In fact, assuming they are all coming I'd guess that you could add Gandalf, Smite, JB, JAS and Frenzy to that breakfast list. Better order a table huh?
/me thinks they will stop serving breakfast at the hotel at about 9.30am
mmmmmm, nothing like a full english to start of a day in an enclosed room with lots of heat :?
is there a Mcdonalds any where neer the hotel?
last times MaccyD's breccie was cool
dont know what hotel breccys are like but there is a little restaurent in town that does an all day breccy for about £4.00 which rox or there is the tecos plastic breakfast 7 things and a cup of tea for £2.49 or 11 things and tea for £3.50 mmm.....food !! soz sheepster no maccy D's, nearest is about 15 mins drive away just past guyhirn on the A47
i will go to hotel on mon/tues and find out about tables and chairs and stuff and will chat to guys about getting server to setup and also check hub arrangements will post more nearer the time .
Ask 'em about security as well please FB.
Security is in the form of cctv cameras covering the car park and also all entrances and exits. as well there is only 1 entrance to the lan for which we will be holding the key. thats it !! if anyone need to bring their own rottweiler/guns then feel free (just dont take the guns to the bank ok!!).
I'll bring the missus
if that don't frighten off would be assailants then we best get hold of Smites Missus instead :)
Oldie - might be a good idea if you try and turn up a little earlier than last time - i seem to remember you got there about 10:30 due to a technical problem with your alarm
But more seriously i seem to remember we had probs with setting the server up, when you turned up & waved your magic wand all was well & sorted - i think you cleaned & dusted the k/board - but it was enough :?
ill take a couple of realistic lookin replicas and we can put a sign on the door " no entry smite's missus is guarding the room"
I dont think setting up equipment will be such an issue this time round :-)
Hmm..if we have the key for the door does that not mean we can lock it from the inside and drink our own beer? Then should the owners decide to look around we can swiftly hide it away somewhere. For instance in a big box marked JB's beer. This applies to unopened bottle's and cans only. :lol:
We've done several Lans over the past 2yrs or so and each one has had its own set of problems - which have eventually been sorted but have generally taken a couple of hrs.
The server we were going to use for this Lan was meant to be the same one from previous but its been grabbed for work use so we've had to scout round to 'borrow' another - a P3 933mhz which FatBob is going to partially re-build.
It is possible black-adder will put in an appearance.... dont bet on it tho. We've found it will only run old Linux kernels... weird eh?
Anyways, I've got about 1GB of HL games folder to download via me 512Kbit/s cable modem... so it may be ready in time.
Black Adder at the LAN would be nice, but not all games have a Linux server port :S
Well they're not worth playing then. Certainly not worth buying... :thumbsdown:
BTW Me and doggers are setting out at 7:30am. Autoroute says its a 2:30 journey.... means we should do it in about 1:45 :-)
If were in time I'll be up for a brekki-feast.
I suggest that anyone who wants to be in on the initial round of breakfast egts there as early as possible. Go to the hotel first because we can leave mobile tel numbers to tell peeps where we have gone to eat etc.
Bring your phone :)
I was planning on trying the breakfast in the hotel anyway ...after i have set my kit up.
Bob of the fat variety .....do they do breakfasts?
smite of the thee variety yes they do and they cost 6 of your earth pounds you do get 1 if you have a room (but that will be sun am!!)
there is however a tescos and also a little restaurant called the riverside barn (although in the weird scheme of things its neither by a river or infact a barn!!) they do a wicked bfast for about 4 quid (2 of everything and a cup of tea to boot !!!)
Table for 20 at the Riverside Barn it is then 8)
And what about a place to park our chariots? I trust the fine establishment we shall be staying at has ample space for them?
As it's in March you'll find there's a fine earthy looking fellow with a large gold earring who'll offer to park your car for you. :wink:
youve bin ere before avnt ya boy!! he answers to the name of bubba and dont let the barefeet and soiled dungarees put you off 1 little bit.
I'm green with envy of you people. Me? I'm off for a romantic w/e in the New forest :( Where I'll be eating at the best restaurants, drinking fine wines and making love to a beautiful woman. But I'd rather being at the LAN. Have fun, don't stay up too late, don't drink too much, don't laugh, don't enjoy yourselves at all. If I can't why should you? :evil:
doorman ill swap. exactlly how beutiful is she?
She's very beautiful but she'd suck you in and blow you out in bubbles!
You stick with your usual means of gratification :D
one girl i met in a club once gargled, that was very funny.
Nope Sheepy they are called MEN!!!! 8O
Smite wonders which sex Sheepy lost his oats to :D
