<div class="IPBDescription">part deux</div> OK, here's the latest. I offered to help Moogle out by researching some possible venues for the LAN (to be held in the Portland, Oregon area). I found a place that would probably work great, but it's totally booked on Fri-Sun, June 24-26. However (at least for now), it's open on the following weekend (Fri-Sun, July 1-3). The next day, July 4, is a national holiday, so it may make it easier for some folks to come but harder for others. Since many people work, trying to cram in activity on Friday evening would likely not be cost-effective, so I'm thinking that having an all-day event on Saturday (spilling over into early AM Sunday) would work the best. Now, in order to be able to book a venue, <b>an accurate headcount is essential</b>. If you want to attend the LAN, please respond below with the following info:
1. Do you <i>want</i> to attend the LAN?
2a. Can you attend the LAN if it will be held on Saturday, July 2nd?
2b. If you answered no to 2a, what nearby date (if any) would work for you?
3. Will it benefit you if the LAN venue is near public transportation (i.e., MAX light rail)?
4a. If you attend, will you need a hotel room?
4b. If you answered yes to 4a, would you be willing to share a room with other attendees?
(If enough people need rooms, then a group rate can probably be arranged with a hotel.)
5. What is the most that you would pay to attend the event itself (for only admission and parking)?
(It is extremely important that this question be answered accurately, since it is a major factor in determining the venue. The cost will be kept as low as possible, since this isn't a commercial event.)
6. Are you interested in helping with the setup and/or cleanup?
7. What games (other than NS) do you want to play while at the LAN?
8. Do you have any servers (game, voice comm, etc.) or network equipment that you could bring? If so, what, specifically?

I'll be driving from Vancouver most likely, so I might be able to carpool a couple other Vancouverites down, if I know you.
I hope thats not the prize, i thought I heard in one of the other topics that there would be real prizes for the ns tourny and such
2a. Probably. I'm going to FFT manor at the end of June so i should be going there with them. I can make that date.
3. All depends on where the location is.
4a. Whetever the FFT guys are doing.
5. $30/$40 .. including pizza
6. Yep.
7. CS/UT2K4..
8. I can't.. taking equipment with me via plane is kinda risky.. Sorry.. . Although if we get a big screen set up, i'll be happy to bring some DVDs along.
2a. Yes
3. Sure, why not.
4a. Maybe
4b. Only if I don't get molested
5. $40-50
6. Sure
7. WoW? No? Okay...
8. Not really
2) ^^
3) I'm driving from norcal, so it's irrelevant
4a) I can pass out in the whip, or get a hotel room
4b) Anyone who plays NS is more than worthy of room sharing
5) 30 as long as mastication is covered
6) [see number 1]
7) CS? Train hunters? unreal
8) If zer comes with hubs and switches and cat 5 and power strips. Perhaps even a dedi..
<span style='color:red'><3</span>
i guess i'll pay up to $30..
sounds like it would be fun
-brandon
2a. I believe so...
3. nope
4a. probably not, depending on what side of town it is (i live about 30 mins from town center)
5. 30 bucks
6. If needed
7. CSS sure, CoD sure, whatever anyone feels like sure.
8. i could bring some cables thats about it...my 5 person hub isn't going to do much for a lan <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2a. probably
2b. n/a
3. much
4a. yep
4b. only if it's moogle and a there's one bed ^^
5. $25
6. both
7. whack-a-kilalot (or cs:classic, maybe some random hl mods)
8. everything on blackmage.org is at your disposal (webspace, vent, teamspeak, shoutcast and any other app that can run on w32 and doesn't need much processor time or ram)
2a. This is where I will be: Thurs, June 30th - Tues, July 5th Drum Corps Midwest TOUR
2b. Any day not [URL=these days]http://gulfcoastsound.org/schedule.html[/URL]
3. Not really, I can walk and drive...but it can help.
4a. Yes
4b. Yes
5. 10$ is the most I have ever payed. 15$ is possible though. However, I will be driving 1000+ miles to get there, and I am a starving artist, so don't take my college fund <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
6. Sure
7. Savage, TS, WC3, Ghost Recon, HD2, etc
8. I used to run a LAN Party every weekend. Whatever I have I can bring. I know there is Network cable n such. I'll actually have to check.
2a) I *think* so. I'm unsure, but any weekend will be good, I think.
3) Very likely. Otherwise, I'm hoofing it a lot.
4) Most likely. 4a) not a problem
5) 30 bucks for both
6) sure
7) halflife mods, um. maybe warcraft 3 if i install it...
8) I can bring a 12 port 100mbit network hub.
However, I might still be able to help. FR31NS is, after all, a west coast server. I would be more than happy to donate it to you guys for the night to use. I'm sure it might work better than someone's desktop to host an NS game, and the pings should all be in the 30's for you.
Just a thought. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I wish I could be there in body guys, but at least I'll be there in spirit.

(1) Oh yeah! I'll gladly represent 707 solo or with the herd if possible.
(2) If I can find a ride from nor cal to the depths of oregon, yes.
(3) No
(4) Yes, unless somebody would like to let me creep into their house and infest it. Or I could split the cost of a hotel room, ghetto style to save $ hopefully.
(5) I'd hope to pay as little as possible, $25 max?
(6) I'll get really drunk and watch the drones cleanse the intruders, doubt that counts.
(7) Whatever I can leech off of somebody else's computer, anything good, not WoW.
(8) Nothing, maybe a **** dlink router.
I'm hoping some1 will be kind enough to port me there and then allow me to infester their house while I'm there, email me at x707xslayer@gmail.com if you can help in either of those departments.
