Festivities for Lan XX? (lan number 20)

GhostMjr · October 17, 2010, 06:21:04 PM

Not sure how to put this so here goes

Next October in 2011 we as a community will be celebrating Lan XX or Lan 20.

Now this is a big milestone for dMw and for our community. I hope you will be all there to share it with me and the attendees but on a serious note its our 20th anniversary and I want it to be remembered!

So my idea is seeing as we have 12 months to go to put our heads together and think whether there's anything apart from a cake and party poppers that we want out of the event.

Maybe Greek can cook us a cake? or the worst tasting cake wins?

We could do a paint balling day if there's something close to march lion/ Fatbob or a team building day?

Also if people are keen we can do another dMw away weekend for drinking? Maybe not abroad but to somewhere more local some time before.

Lastly I think we all need to make a concerted effort to try and firstly fill the room for the event but also get few of the previous attendees even for a day trip to say hi drink beer and talk about old times.

I can't believe its almost LAN XX and my first was LAN V!

What are your thoughts?

I'll be in New Zealand next October so I will not, sadly, be able to attend LAN XX.

Funnily enough, this exact thing sprung to mind yesterday as I cleared my hovel up ready to put the PC back in place.

I came across a LAN IV CS Tourney Medal, from October 2003.

I just couldn't bring myself to thow it out!!! A lot of time and enjoyment since that LAN so I think XX should be special as well.

DuVeL · October 19, 2010, 11:41:09 AM

What about Pong?
And bring with you your old CRT's?

I suggested running an 'Omegathon' style competition over the weekend. For those who've not heard of this, it's a competition run at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) every year:

QuoteThe Omegathon is a three-day elimination tournament. Twenty Omeganauts are chosen from those who pre-order PAX passes, and compete in games from every category (tabletop, console, PC) culminating in a live championship match on the big stage during PAX closing ceremonies. The final game is always out of left field: we've done PONG, COMBAT, Tetris, Halo3, excitebike, and last year was Skeeball
