I think quite a few NS'ers are attending i21 in the summer at Newbury though. Not sure if i'm going yet and/or whether anybody has actually signed up yet <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I've happily suggesting sorting one, but I'm up in Manchester which seems a bit too far for most.
Best sites would be places like Nottingham or Birmingham, for easy access. *poeks Fam AGAIN*
my dad is organising it, but i dunno where it will be apart from that main areas... ill inform u all if theres one a bit more up north for.. um... guys up north lol
so im guessing theres no events as of yet??? *rups hands and big pund signs develop in eyes* lol
if u want, ill try and get one up and running with the help of my dad and havering collage, but dont hold ur breath, cos itll probebly be free and very crappy, or cost some money and be to small... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Funny Gren, he blames you for it not being organized. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Sponsorship is a terrible buisiness model, especially when the interest in NS scene happenings is dwarfed by the (at least) ten-fold interest in CS or CoD. Besides, theres a reason large LANs are nigh-on impossible to hold in London (commercially anyway) - the extortionate cost. I will (probably) be attending i21 this summer (August Bank Holiday - <a href='http://www.multiplay.co.uk' target='_blank'>info</a>) and I know quite a few NS people going including some from Germany & Sweden <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> The events themselves are a great laugh, my first was i10 and I've been to about 4 up until now, although the weekend can work out a bit pricey. The trouble is that even in this one thread I can see so many different factions of people who play NS in the UK. If anyones interested in getting a tournament or such at i21 (even something simple like a BBQ or a couple of drinks with the NS'ers you don't know) drop by #naturalselection at Quakenet.
I play vetruall every hl mod there is and i kno some good players.
but never been to a major lan event. Just have xbox halo eight players... Bliss

I'll put a LAN on if there is enough interest. I'll start doing some research at work (I'm now working for an Events Company). I'll post a thread shortly to see what the interest is like.
Are there any webpages dedicated to NS LAN events? Armslab or CC or something?

/me heart bleeds
boo hiss CS!
anyway, if ur gonna hold a LAN event, y not advertise it on here and other, more popular sites... u have to mention that its ns only, so u dont get cs geeks coming in there t-shirts with 'i love cs!' on em... god those ppl set a bad image for the gaming community <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And saying "NS Only" is a bad idea... playing NS straight for a day or two with the same group of people gets very boring very quickly...
Pfft, I barely even play CS and i'd turn up in an "i love CS" t-shirt just to annoy people.
And a UK NS LAN, yeah, i'd probably turn up, that is, if Shockeh, Fam and Hoj were coming. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Sit on the road bring a rooter and a generator and play whilst the traffic waits for you.
HEHEHE

Or would you be prepared to lug your PCs across the country in order to play on a larger LAN (or simply because you couldn't bear to part with them)?
lugging our pc's across the country would be funny if u didnt do the secret bunker thing that they do round our way... btw if uv neva heard of it, they go into this old secret bunker and for 3 days play games on a big lan NON-STOP! i went once and it was great... its funny when ppl fall alsleep playing cs and ppl are always shouting stuff out like "MATRIX99 U SUCK!!!"
gud times man... gud times <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Around about Sheffield, prob Manchester, Birmingham.
Id say their about the best places to host one, Not because thats close to me but because its central.... ish. Only ppl far far south will have a long way to drive. pluss its got easy access.
And id go to a NS lan party. If it had a few breaks and we played a few other games now and again. But mainly NS. Id definatly be their.
