Dead Men Walking

READ CAREFULLY, THE BOOKING PROCESS HAS CHANGED!

11th - 14th October 2018

How to book your place at LAN XXXIV -

• Call the Oliver Cromwell Hotel (http://www.olivercromwellhotel.co.uk/) - 01354 602890 - book a room, mentioning that you are booking for the dMw LAN to get the reduced rates (see below).
  
• Complete THIS FORM (https://goo.gl/forms/NfNIN8UiFiy3CIKV2). [/SIZE]Without this form, you have NOT booked your place at the LAN. If we fill up, someone could still steal your spot if they get this in before you!

With your room booked and the new booking form completed, you have booked your room! I will add you to the list below!

If you are interested in coming to the Wednesday Night Overwatch Meet (https://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?44359-Overwatch-Wednesday-Night-Meet-Up), just complete the form as a Thursday arrival. As this is NOT an Official LAN activity, it is not part of the booking form.


The Booking Form
The idea here is to gather as much information as possible, as early as possible. Hopefully this cuts down on the number of forum threads needing to be checked and orders chased up in the build up to the LAN.

Although the form is required to book your gaming place, you do NOT need to answer every question now if you don't want to - there are options for 'Not sure yet' on all of the food orders and tournament sign ups. Furthermore, it will still be possible to change orders if you change your mind down the road, just drop one of the LAN admins a line!

The more information we get at sign-up the better, but don't worry at all if you don't know what you want yet. We will chase you down in due time :D

The LAN
We hope to make it a great weekend for all. Kick off is Thursday afternoon, but don't fret if you can't make it til later! There is stuff going on all weekend.

The Oliver Cromwell Hotel (http://www.olivercromwellhotel.co.uk/) offers:
The Noble Suite - an air conditioned conference room
24/7 access to the suite
dMw control of entry to the suite
Late night bar
Gymnasium
Large indoor swimming pool
Eight-person Jacuzzi
Sauna and Steam room


Room Costs
The hotel offers us the following reduced rates for the LAN -
Double room - £50 per night.
Twin room - £66 per night - this works out as £33 EACH when you share with a mate!


dMw Costs:
LAN ATTENDEES
Supporting Member:- £10 (this has not changed)
Non-Supporting Member:- £25 (this includes an automatic upgrade to Supporting Member status for one year)

SOCIAL ATTENDEES
Supporting Member:- £0 (this has not changed)
Non-Supporting Member:- £12 (this includes an automatic upgrade to Supporting Member status for one year)


Travel:- we will do our best to arrange pick up and drop off from the major London airports. If you find yourself stuck or simply want to share a lift, post in the travel plans thread.

Gear:- there will be a packing thread posted soon. The basics are some sort of PC and monitor, with peripherals including headphones - speakers are a no no. If you're desperate to game but can't get a PC to the LAN, ask around, we have in the past been able to source PCs from generous members of the community willing to lend - in exchange for a beer or 3 of course :norty:

Seating:- seating details will be released closer to the event.


Please note that, as previously, by signing below you agree to sign a liability disclaimer waiver form (if not already signed). This is a condition of your attendance at the LAN. Please pm Penfold if you wish to see a copy of it.

Gaming capacity at LAN XXXIV is 49 members. If you book after this point, you will be added to a waiting list and given a slot if one frees up! There is no limit for social attendees!

For reference the form also provides me with a chronological list of who has registered, so we can't miss anyone off even if we try :D

All booked, can't wait to be there :D :D :D

Booking for LAN 34 is now open to all members! There is currently only 1 gaming place remaining, and bookings after this will be added to a waiting list in case of cancellations. There is no limit to social attendees.

I've cancelled my booking as I can no longer attend, apologies.

No problem, I have removed you from the list. I will also drop Rambo a line so he knows he still needs to sort a lift.

2 places left people! :D

Cheers Choas, I also sent him a pm earlier.

Good man. I hope it isn't anything serious that has led to your cancellation. We'll sort Rambo out one way or another!

Those who have kindly opted to sponsor BEER should have received a PM today, please have a read and get back to us if any queries!

Quote from: .DickDastardly.;433904I've cancelled my booking as I can no longer attend, apologies.

Ah man. You will be missed. :-(

I'm all booked in, cannot wait

Joins the community Thursday, signs up for the LAN Friday. This I like!

We are back to having only 1 gaming place left!

Quote from: Lup4m;434030I'm all booked in, cannot wait

Not to be that guy, should we be allowing strangers in the LAN? Who are you Lup? No offence ofc.

she is one of paddys workmates

That makes me feel better, thanks :)

I had the benefit of another member letting me know in advance that Lup4m was a friend, and would be joining us for her first LAN. Of course Jewelz, I can understand why you ask the question; with members bringing their own gear to the event, it's not an inappropriate one to ask at all.

I too was skeptical tbh as I was told she was Paddy's friend. That set alarm bells ringing for obvious reasons.. but what can you do!

:norty:

Looking forward to welcoming all 3 of the new LAN attendees in October! Yes, even you Dex!!!

its understandable considering the likes of Addx9- id be skeptical too :lmfao:

Yes, you haven't got the best track record there mate :roflmao: !

Don't worry I am also a friend so there no need to worry... well maybe not a friend but a good person to play game so with :3 she seems like a good person and will fit in. Don't worry jewelz she doesn't want you RGB lights.

Anyone who gets the Rogue seal of approval is a welcome LAN attendee, they'll just take 3-5 working days (which actually means 2 weeks) to arrive, at best.

:norty:

About the same time it takes to get a answer from a Doctor then :P

I'll put you on the waiting list for a reply to that, it'll take 2-6 months.

:roflmao:

I’m all booked for the first time, be great to meet you all and have a good weekend

Nice one Ben we discuss logistics later

Excellent, I'll add you to the list! That makes us full up!

(I had to put real effort in to not make a joke about accepting anyone related to BrotherTobious at the LAN, by the way! :roflmao:)

Can't wait ladies and gents.

Have a great time everyone.

Quote from: Chaosphere;434048I too was skeptical tbh as I was told she was Paddy's friend.

Now all that remains to be seen is how far into the lan she stops being Paddy's friend, as he then becomes guilty by association.
Here's to hoping the sensitivity training took for everyone :p

Hi All,

Its with regret I am having to drop out of the LAN. Just a case of life getting in the way of fun I am afraid.

I will miss you all and already have a pass for May if you will have me back.

I have contacted the hotel

A real shame mate hope everything is OK mate. See you next time

Really rubbish news mate :(

Thanks for letting us, and the hotel, know.

If anyone is keen this opens up 1 gaming slot, shout up if you're interested :)

Thanks guys. Will 100% be there in May.

Dex and I will now arrive Friday evening for steak night, he doesn't get out of lectures until Friday afternoon :sad:

Hotel booking amended.

Thanks for letting us know TL. Shame, but at least arriving on Friday Dex won't miss the bit with the whips and chains. See you guys then!
