Fatty October 29, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder October 29, 2004 At the very minimum, there's one of those rooms with 2 PCs in it that we can get on the net with. Whether or not we can actually get on from the ballroom is unknown atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman October 29, 2004 Share Duffman Member October 29, 2004 For those few of you who would actually be interested in seeing Duff, I am actually considering flying up from Florida to attend this thing. Can I get a bit more info (I have read what I can) on how much playing time appx this would be, about how long (I know 22-24, but starting about when and ending about when), and all liability issues that may be involved (who is protecting the comps while we sleep? for instance). Also, anyone know if they allow computers on planes (in a suitcase, obviously... but I also can't get a monitor in a bag really). Thanks all.

I know that they have wireless internet access and the maintnece guy could possibly run a network cable to the router so we can all get on the internet. So maybe we could codnate something with HI.

Fatty October 30, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder October 30, 2004 Security will have to be worked out. At the very least, I'll lock the room up or something. We've never had a problem, but then again, we've never been in a public place before. The worries would only be people NOT from the LAN. At most any given time, someone is usually awake in the computer area... Starting time will be Friday afternoon, and we'll clean up Sunday morning. Things like security depend on my budget. I start off with X people coming times Y dollars per person, subtract what it costs for the room and snacks...from there, as X increases, the T-shirts will be added to the budget. After that, things like a meal or more snacks, and security can be considered. Worst case, take your CPU back to your room if there's no security and you're worried about it. How do they do it at other BYOC lans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeK October 30, 2004 Share TeK Member October 30, 2004 AT CPL, people just leave all their stuff in the large BYOC room. Yes there are chances for things to get stolen and yes things do get stolen but what can u expect from 2000 gamers all in one room. Thats just from my experience and I know that stuff did get stolen from peoples comps such as mice or headphones and even their video cards or whole shuttle system. It's very risky, but I don't know what a bunch of people in a hotel are going to do with it. Its really a tough situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus October 30, 2004 Share Primus Member October 30, 2004 What about the possiblility of everyone chiping in for a responsible perosn of two from HI for a night shift thing. Just to keep watch. Just a thought. Oh ya--I'm thinking of going this year seeing that i am a new member and all. Looking at pics from the past it looks like a good time. Need to check out where it is and how far and all that. And if the wife will let me go---LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchtower October 30, 2004 Share Watchtower Member October 30, 2004 I want the barn again :/ Just such a nice contrast all the technology in a nice little rustic scene like that.. And the firepit rocked! Huh longhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty October 30, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder October 30, 2004 I don't think the barn is booked. Bring some cable, it's only about 15 miles or so from the Inn, you could link up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DLM]->HighPlainsDrifter October 31, 2004 Share [DLM]->HighPlainsDrifter Member October 31, 2004 Can someone sleep in the conference room? In front of the locked door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty October 31, 2004 Author Share Fatty GC Founder October 31, 2004 Welp, this brings up the question as to whether or not we "close" for the night. We've never closed down. We might consider something like this, but then again, many stay up very late, and some get back up to keep going. Like I said, there's not much time where nobody is in there on a computer.

YoMamma October 31, 2004 Share YoMamma Member October 31, 2004 as long as people are playing late at night i dont think security will be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Kill3r October 31, 2004 Share All Kill3r Member October 31, 2004 yea i think security is really a non-issue here. With the number of people at the last lan we had ppl playing almost all night, so double the number of people for this lan and surely there's not gonna be much dead time.
