Title: dMw LAN VI - When, where and who - Book Here!
Post by: TeaLeaf on July 27, 2004, 11:06:49 AM
Well, after a long wait here are the details for Dead Men Walking LAN VI.  
Please note that we have 44 places and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  

Members of dMw's Bravo, Charlie & Delta Companies are hereby given advance notice of the event.  
Alpha Company members will not be able to see this thread or book places at the LAN for a further 7 days,
so please do not mention it in the open 'Alpha' forum until Wednesday 4th August

To confirm your attendance please reply to this thread.[/SIZE]

Note: Almost everyone turns up on the Friday between lunchtime and early evening to have a great social eating & drinking session.  Gaming then continues into the small hours. Turning up on Friday is highly recommended!

LAN VI Details:

NEW Dates:  Friday 29th, Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st October 2004
NEW Venue:  Oliver Cromwell (http://www.olivercromwellhotel.co.uk/), March, Cambridgeshire.
Times: The LAN venue opens at 12.00pm on Friday lunchtime and the LAN will finish by 5.00pm on Sunday 31st October.
Costs: For the venue - £15 total per head for the whole weekend
Costs: B&B room prices per night: £50 for a double, £50 for a twin room (ie £25.00 per person).  Sole occupancy is charged for the full room rate.
Room Availability: 35 x Double; 8 x Twin
Costs: Friday evening - 3 course meal in the hotel - £13.50 per head (including coffee)
Costs: Saturday evening - 3 course meal in the hotel - £13.50 per head (including coffee)

The Oliver Cromwell offers:PLEASE BOOK YOUR OWN ACCOMMODATION DIRECT WITH THE HOTEL - CALL THEM NOW!
When calling you *must* mention that you are booking in on the dMw rate, otherwise they will charge you full price!


When the Oliver Cromwell is fully booked you will need to book into the The Olde Griffin Hotel, March, Cambridgeshire (http://www.smoothhound.co.uk/hotels/oldegrif.html) which is 200yds down the road or a B&B etc.  

Amongst other things the LAN will feature:

- a list of officially supported games
- organised competitions
- official LAN Admins  
- late night gaming

Important Note
As you may know, LAN VI was originally booked in good faith with the Griffin Hotel last Monday, however on Tuesday morning we received a call from the owner of the Hotel advising that we could not use the nightclub on Friday as they had a successful weekly disco each Friday night - this is something that at LAN V we realised might be a future problem for us.  Oldbloke and I discussed the alternatives (including doing a alternative Saturday/Sunday/Monday LAN) and decided that the best option for dMw was to move LAN VI to the Oliver Cromwell.  

This was not a decision taken lightly, but one we believe to be in the best interests of dMw.  We negotiated an excellent deal with the Cromwell and their published costs are far higher.  The prices  the rooms are offered at are very similar to LAN V accommodation prices and the quality of the venue far superior.  We also won't have the Griffin's Friday night disco crowd wandering in off the street and disturbing our gaming and equipment security as we suffered at LAN V.

Part of the negotiation for the keen pricing obtained was over the meals.  For this reason we are suggesting that our Friday night and Saturday night meals are eaten in the hotel.  The restaurant is good quality and they have offered to do a 3 course meal for just £13.50 per head.  If as many people as possible can eat in the restaurant on those two nights then we have a good chance of negotiating better rates next time if we continue suffering the 'disco' problem at the Griffin.  Indeed we suggested that the majority of us would be likely to eat in thte hotel restaurant on those two nights at this LAN.   Oldbloke and I realise this is an imposition, but we had to take a decision on behalf of the community to get LAN VI off the gorund, otherwise it may not have happened.  We hope that we will get a your support in this respect.

We think LAN VI is going to be our best ever.  Book your place now to make sure you do not miss out!  

Enjoy!

TL.

Why has this thread been temporarily closed?

LAN VI was booked in good faith with the Management of the Griffin Hotel last Monday; prices were negotiated and agreed, dates confirmed and all rooms reserved.  However on Tuesday morning we received a call from the owner of the Hotel advising that we could not use the nightclub on Friday as they had a successful weekly disco each Friday night.  She asked if we would mind turning up on Saturday morning instead.

Those who have attended previous LANs will recognise that such a late start is not an ideal formula as you have lost half a day's gaming by the time you are set up, connected to the network and loaded all your software.  As peeps have tended to start leaving from 2pm onwards on Sunday this would mean a little over a day's gaming and this is an unacceptably short period of time.  

With this in mind we are finalising terms with an alternative venue to put up in competition with the Griffin.   We have informed the Griffin that we need Friday night access and will make a final decision tomorrow morning once terms are finalised and we have heard from the Griffin's owner again.  Please note that an alternative venue will unfortunately mean a change of date (sorry Radders) if we go down that route.

We apologise for the slight hiccup in arrangements, but we are sure you will appreciate that this is due to circumstances totally beyond our control.

Full details of the LAN will be reposted and reconfirmed tomorrow when known.

Awww poo.  I was actually planning to come to LAN VI, and break my LAN virginity (so to speak).  Unfortunately these new dates now clash with my holiday, so I won't be able to make it.  :(

Would've been nice to put some faces to the disembodied voices, but c'est la vie.  Well played TL & OB for sorting out what looks to be a superior venue.  I'll have to catch you 'orrible lot at the next one.  ;)

Mate - can you put me down on the numbered list.  Just sent you a pm about it, but I'd deffo like to reserve a slot.  I may be in Toronto during October to bugger their SAP environment up as well, but that isn't confirmed yet so sign me up.

Anyone got a twin they fancy letting me bunk in?  Drop me a pm if you do (I'm a nice guy really :) ) rather than cluttering up the thread.

I would love to come  (thanks for the Heads-up TL), but unless anyone fancies holding my 14-month old twins :dummy: it just ain't gonna happen.

Perhaps next year when they're a little more self sufficient.

I'm sure you guys will have fun - you always seem to-

Actually, omm can I *tentatively* be added to the list please  (i'll confirm in the next day or so).
 :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

I think my parents or outlaws will look after the babies and I'll bring Claire along so she can enjoy the swimming pool, jacuzzis and shopping.

Probably won't be able to join you guys for dinner as I'll have to keep her sweet with a little meal for two but it means I can game with you fellas on Saturday :0)

Is anyone else bringing their non-gaming partners??

Cheers

Hi pendragon, twins you say? Cool! I'm attending the LAN and my twinbro might aswell (not sure yet since he doesn't play CS and doesn't know the lot of ya).
Are the twins identical or not?

And for the dinner with the misses, take her to the chinese  ;)

Hey Duvel,

No, they're not identical - which is a particular bonus as they're a boy and girl  (Charlie and Daisy) :lol:  :lol:

As for Dinner, well we'll probably still eat at the hotel and just pretend we don't know such reprobates as Squonk :whistle:

OK TL, please put me in the confirmed list  :D

It took some negotiating - she gets unrestricted room service and a beauty treatment of her choice at the hotel salon and I get a weekend of fraggin'  :D

We've booked a room and so it looks like it's all guns blazing ('scuse the pun).

PS, Who's the bugger whose nabbed nice looking room with the four-poster bed - that would have gained me some major brownie points    :winkiss:

I can't wait to put some faces to names......... except, of course, for squonky whom I still have nightmares about   :lmfao:

Off Topic - Sorry.

EELS- Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy. One of the techniques you actually can use when analysing a material by Transmission Electron Microscopy.

Oh ... yes I am finishing my PhD at the moment and around the week of the LAN is when I will send my thesis to print. It will be a most hectic period and it would be a very bad time to leave for 3 days.
I will present and defend my thesis at a seminar in the beginning of December. It looks like I have better chances of attending Lan VII. Still it was nice that someone was missing me. :)

If I know the LAN admins right all the CZ bots will be called "dMw^ Sadako #" ...

I hope you guys had a blast.

TL I owe you an apology, I said I would get back to you with numbers for 12K to attend and after my first honeymoon to Florida was cancelled due to a hurricane then all my time and effort went into trying to get that changed.

We managed ot get out at a later date but in doing so used up all my holidays at work so didnt have any left to attend this LAN. Unfortunatly your website was down and I couldnt post sooner (I heard why and that stinks)

You guys have 5 slots booked up at our LAN so hopefully you can still attend that and I promise to take some Knights to the next dMw event.

Sorry once again m8
