LAN V Seating...

[smite]

Well..... It seems people are not happy with either Who they are sitting with or someone telling them where to sit.
If you do not like where you are sitting send me a PM and i will try to change it.
If you don't like being controlled....there isn't much i can say about that apart from i am trying to help not control?

There is a lot which has been done and is still in progress ensuring that YOU have a good time and there are no problems and all you have to do is turn up.
Hotel arrangement
Cheap rates
Local accomidation
Servers with games installed
Switches
Ip: config for gaming and other
Games to all patch level
Etc.....

The plan was just to help people get an idea of how to set-up the room, where the servers will need to be, people are with friends, POWER MANAGEMENT, IP assignment and people have an idea where they are going to be before they arrive so making it easier for set-up.

We do take your opinions seriously. Honest

For what it's worth, I've found at previous LANs that the only time you sit down is when you actually play games. Other time is spent socialising and moving round and talking to people, admiring various machine types/mods and watching Benny's pron. I personnally don't mind where I sit but having an initial seating arrangement does seem to make good sense as it saves you hunting round the room asking if seats/tables, power sockets, lan cables et al are in use etc. especially as people will be arriving at various times throughout Friday/Saturday. As has been previously mentioned the main aim is to enjoy yourself and I don't think a little bit of organisation will detract from that. "Bring it on" :huh:

This morning I think it's a good idea.  :thumbsup:  :cheers:  :coolio:  :dmw:

I hope to be there at the next lan because this is sounding very funny. (there are always things were people don't agree with, just do what is best for most of you and it will be fine)

in fact, Sheepy, what whiskey are you bringing this time  

your turn to buy this time m8, nah seriously i probably be bringing G+T - i get much less of a hangover than on wiskey................   strykers face when i told him i was drinking gin and tonic in a sivalised manner while we watched the world go by in the "beer garden" at the last lan was classic

Im cool with seating arrangements being made, though squonk may disagree sitting near a smelly onion...after all admins go to a lot of trouble organisings everything if they want setting arrangements then so be it. + i like where i was sitting last time

[Red_Thunder]

although i cant stroke squonks leg from there, maybe @ the bar , im happy with the seating plan
Flibber will do

[sheepy]

my ONLY 2 disaponitments with the seating plan are very minor

1- i have to walk further to the bar from where i sat last time

2- im not next to benny so can have a direct rout to his special server

[Benny]

I've still not fixed the server, so you are limited to the 20ish gig on my desktop, outside gaming time, first come, first server (sheepy is first in the queue )

[Gone_Away]

Benny. If you want to bring your HDD, it can always go into my spare PC.

NF

[sheepy]

or u could just passs the HD round the lan??? i call dabs on it for sunday

but sticking it in a spare pc sounds a very good idea

[Stryker]

I agree, seating is really of no concern so I'd rather it be planned, I mean why not?  there is plenty of socialising going on and yes, really your only seated when playing.....
