dMw LAN VI Features

TeaLeaf · August 17, 2004, 09:22:22 AM

This is hopefully going to be a wish list that the LAN Admins turn into work in progress and then into reality. If you have any suggestions for events etc that you would like to see at the LAN then please let us know by posting here. At the moment the strarting point is that we intend to run the following:

Internal LAN website detailing the times of all the competitions and other information.
Internal LAN forums for any other discussions or questions from attendees, or information from the LAN Admins.
Internet access - we are trying to confirm access to the hotel's broadband connection. Discussions with their IT person are in progress. This will NOT be access for downloads and browsing, it will simply be to allow any updates that might be needed in an emergency.
HLTV running an appropriate delay for the competition and main gaming server to be shown via an LCD projector onto a projector screen at one end of the room.
Competitions - if you have any suggestions as to what you would prefer to see offered then please let us know.
Some scheduled gaming on particular games at specific times.

I hope this is a good starting point, your comments would be welcome. LAN Admins will be discussing the posts made here starting from later this week.

Name tags to benefit the new guys??

maybe showing hotel staff that we are with the dmw party?

Yes, as we did last time we will aim to provide 'monitor name tags' so you know who is sat where and also some name tags to help peeps get to know everyone.

We can also add a seating plan to the LAN website/forum if needed.

i would like to see a 2v2 knockout tourney on maps like degal warehouse aim maps and scout maps etc

MAD_ness · August 17, 2004, 07:39:57 PM

2 v2 would take an age with that amount of players......

better off with the 5 v 5 ........or 6 v 6 as per the previous lans

(as long as we give DA enough time to crawl out of his pit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

It *could* take ages, but then not everyone will want to enter.....

LFS tourney would be good

Soggy Biscuit?
DA can be the biscuit.

We need to put a ropey bench in the carpark for that Griffin feel.

I'll edit this post with something mildly serious as and when I think of something.

EDIT 1 (Duvel): There are more than enough people who do like the racing and it's a laugh in a team of 2, blocking and cheating.

Nah, I don't like racing games. Sorry guys. The 5-5 games of CS were allright (Although DA wasn't up yet).

The HALO hoot was sorely missed at the last LAN. Time needs to be set aside for one this time. Also, does anyone have the full set of the Bloodgulch Chronicles? If you haven't seen them, it's a must for showing on the projector.

Missed HALO aswell but had a blast with UT2004 and BF Vietnam.

GhostMjr · August 25, 2004, 09:26:09 PM

will cs source still be live? Shall we provisionally make hl2 matches?doom 3 2v2 teams?

Just some ideas

DarkAngel · August 25, 2004, 10:47:56 PM

CS:Source and hl2 i dont think will be out tho doom3 is an option think it has a limit of 8 on a server may be wrong tho. Benny bring your projector

TeaLeaf · August 25, 2004, 11:12:48 PM

We are aiming to have an LCD projector hooked up to HLTV to show the games on a big (circa 8ft) screen.
