We have very different definitions of "fun," sir.But being cramped and trying to weave your way through the web of cords without yanking them out of people's computers is half the fun of a lan.
How generous of you. -_-If Icthus plans it, I will let him host it.
How does next early August sound? That would probably be most compatible with the most schedules (thinking mostly of college students and parents with kids in grade school and high school).Starting at the bottom, I am Lead Pastor. It is okay if we host the event for free. That was easy.
Dates- Doesn't really matter to me, as long as we stay away from Easter and my daughter's High School Graduation in late June.
For some reason, I was thinking you lived on the West Coast.Location- Armonk, NY about 30 minutes outside of Manhattan. That is New York City for some of you who don't know.
EDIT: It also sounds like there's interest in a CGA LAN event in Texas. Does anyone in Texas have any leads on or suggestions for a venue?
Icthus: If you're in NY, why does it say you live in California? Conspiracy!!
How about Friday, August 3 through Sunday, August 5? Or Friday, August 10 through Sunday, August 12?Most of August is open. However, we have a pretty large VBS we do mid August. But, if you are thinking early that should work.
Maybe some local techies would have a few 24-port or 48-port routers on hand?Yes event hosting is free. Camping out at the church is free. I can probably offer showers since I live on Campus.
We have Verizon Fios and WiFi capabilities. If you want zero lag of LAN would need peeps to help make that happen. We have no large routers for that stuff.
I was thinking Friday night through Sunday afternoon, with all major events taking place on Saturday. But it would ultimately be up to you, since it would be hosted at your church.How many days are you thinking? Are you planning a week or weekend event?
I know you said you're kidding, but I'd be fine with helping arrange a Florida CGA LAN event, too.So how about Florida? I know people there
Ps. Im messing with ya right now.... in case you couldn't deduct that...
Aye, but that would be more of a, "Hey, who else is going to QuakeCon? Let's meet up at location X" than a CGA LAN event proper. Still a great idea, though, and please make a thread with that question closer to when QuakeCon starts.Concerning the possibility of Texas, the only thing I can think of is meeting at Quakecon in Dallas. The event is free and there is more to do than just gaming. There are exhibits, vendors, and tournaments, pro and amateur, along with the BYOC (Bring you own computer/console) floor for the 3 day event.
Agreed.Besides having a church host a LAN event, this may be the next best thing, if not the cheapest. I don't know of any other Christians that goes to QC, other than myself, and it would be great to see some fellow brothers and sisters in Christ come help represent.
Sounds good. Send me a PM and I'll reply with my cell phone number.Do you want to take it off line to discuss more?
Then you have missed out, sir.I have never been to one of these geekfests LAN's.
I'm guessing that was a reference to Warhammer.We did Wifi in the Meathammers and numbers were smaller.
To have fun playing games with other Christian gamers, to encourage each other in the faith (I'm guessing most who attend a LAN at Icthus' church would attend a Sunday morning church service since they're already there), and, if the opportunity presents itself, preach Christ to non-Christians.what is the object of the lan?
That's up to the organizers and those attending. You can tell people, "Hey, we're going to play Half-Life Deathmatch," but if no one owns the game (which would be silly; HLDM is possibly THE greatest LAN game ever), they won't be able to play it.What games will we be playing?
same here bro. I have a lot of expenses to figure out for 2012 but that would be awesome for a west coast *coughseattlecough* event.
