LAN XXXII
October 12th - 15thWe have prepared a rough itinerary for the upcoming LAN for your perusal.
This is NOT a booking thread. No, GhostMjr, you cannot book your room yet That will come soon.
We hope to build on some of the changes we made to LAN XXXI to make this October a great weekend for all. We want all of these events to be a little bit different. Some of the things we tried with LAN XXXI will return, others will take a break. We will continue to collect your feedback, and welcome your input and ideas. We try to make decisions based upon the majority, but if you don't see your feedback implemented just yet don't fret, it may be something we have planned for a future event!
We hope this itinerary gets your juices flowing, and we hope to see you putting your names down in the booking thread when it opens up soon! Remember, the LAN booking thread opens for
Supporting Members 1 week early. It could open any day now, who knows... :norty:
THURSDAY NIGHT CLUBFor those of you able to arrive early. I will be at the LAN from around midday. The LAN room will not be open, but there will undoubtedly be coffee, beer, and maybe some fish & chips for lunch. The festivities don’t get going until the evening though, so don’t fret if you can’t make it for High Noon.
- 12:00+ - Arrive at the Cromwell.
- 18:00 - Community Meal Out. We will be heading out as a large group this LAN for a meal out! More details on the restaurant and pricing soon - we are still dotting Is and crossing Ts to get the best we can.
- 20:00-20:30 - Quiz Night. For this LAN we are ditching the Poker, and replacing it with a Pub Quiz. The Poker will return to a future event. More details to follow.
- 21:00+ - Battlefield: Bad Company 2- We will be running a server for this older FPS game close to our hearts. Grab a copy before the LAN if you don't already have one!
FRIDAY- 11:00 - 13:00 - Ad hoc gaming. We will be running a Team Fortress 2 Server at some point this morning, so get your copy installed and jump on for some manic team-based shenanigans.
- 14:00-16:00 - Mystery Event - Something a bit different this afternoon. It doesn't involve leaving the Cromwell, and you don't need a PC for it.
- 16:00-18:00 - Ad hoc gaming. We will be running some Retro and Mystery gaming this afternoon alongside the mystery event. You do NOT need to bring anything to participate, we have you covered.
- 18:00 - Steak Night. We will be collecting orders in advance. Details to follow.
- 21:00 - Unreal Tournament- CLICK HERE (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43700-LAN-GAME-Unreal-Tournament&p=426295#post426295)!
SATURDAY- 11:00-13:00 - Mystery Tournament. To keep the day varied, this one won't involve iron sights or headshots. You don't need to bring anything with you to participate, we have it covered.
- 1300-1600 - CS: Deagle. New maps, seeded duos.
- 1300-1400 Onwards - ARK EVENT (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43776-Boss-Fight-Next-Saturday-night). Running alongside the deagle, but fret not if you want to play in both the deagle is a speedy game, we can surely have someone look after your beaver while you shoot / get shot at :D
- 17:00-19:00 - Overwatch. 6v6 or 3v3 depending on numbers. Teams will be seeded to keep things balanced.
- 19:00 - Pizza Night - We will be ordering from Dominos as a group, aiming for any pizza (large) for £10. A booking thread will open for this later. If you don't fancy pizza, the Hotel Restaurant will be open, as well as several takeaways from the March Highstreet.
- 20:00 - CS:GO Tournament. New maps, new modes, seeded teams.
- 23:00 - Mandatory Kebab. Ok, not mandatory, but highly recommended.[/SIZE]

These times are only a rough guide, as things may overrun on the day! We will keep you updated throughout.
SUNDAY
10:00+ - Breakfast and Final Announcements / Closing Ceremony. There will be a bit of light ad hoc gaming for those of you wanting to scratch that itch a little more before heading home.
After that it’s time to pack up, travel safe, and start the countdown till the next LAN.
There are a few little things to note.
First, there will be prizes for the tournaments, including the Friday Night Mystery Tournament.
Secondly, there will be a ‘Casual Corner’. Casual / social gaming was one of the main things you guys wanted to see more of at the LANs. We have built upon this following LAN XXXI, and think you will like the changes.
Finally, we will be spectating some of the tournament games using the social corner, so if you're not playing you can still get involved. We have listened to the feedback from LAN XXXI, and hope to make Saturday even better this October.

Keep your eyes peeled Mr Taylor. The booking thread for supporting members may open in the next few days :o

I get the feeling this event will start with, "right everyone put your keys in this bowl"

We can only hope jewelz
any socail event planned btw ? i,e bowling etc?
The mystery event on Saturday is something a bit more social, but doesn't involve leaving the hotel. I'm sure we can bring back something further afield in the future but as this is our first October LAN we don't want to push GhostMjr too hard. He is only simple.
3am test post :D
well if you do need another person on hand to help out ben, i'd be glad to help out.
Is it a swimsuit contest since there is a pool there that I have never seen
Nah we can't do That, we know you'd win already.
Thanks sneaky! There may be a job thread going up before the event.. will have a think about it.
Like sneaky said let me know if I can help out, I brought some more DLC for the game I helped with last time if you want to play that again. But am happy to help in anyway I possibly can, I will be bring my superfight card so we can have a few games of arguing about stupid fighters if anything fancies that
Ooooooh, just seen this looking good my bros!
Swim Meet ftw. There are few things funnier than 20 of us creating a whirlpool in the pool.
Friday morning. Be there.
Schedule has been updated. Please note timings are rough and things WILL be slightly different on the day.
