DrumLAN

[Bloodnok]

Dates: 5th - 7th of June

Due to parents going on holiday, there is a window for a LAN at mine for 7 people.

Just bring what need for a breachlan (no xbox 360's as there is one here + 40" TV)

Only con, there is a 20 year old cat to cope with.

Air beds a must (will allow tents).

Loads of parking

google map Drumoak for location of village (street view is pants atm)

I will pm home number and address for those who are interested.

[Castiana]

I'm interested as normal. I just need confirmed dates to book off work.

[MadmaN]

i am intrested! , and i'm looking to pick a date very soon for MadLAN.

[MadmaN]

also aslong its a mixed bunch of games played and not just eve online or something.

[Skull]

sounds interesting, may look into coming, depending on family holidays and the like

[Bloodnok]

Just found out that they will be gone up to a fortnight so may change the date to the following weekend if that helps anyone (read 1st post again)

[Castiana]

I need a confirmed date asap please dave ^^

[Bloodnok]

just for you and Gemini its the 5th - 7th of June

[MadmaN]

sign me up :)

[Bloodnok]

ok thats 3, 2 spaces left

[gemini]

100% in

[ZeroG]

Possibly, bit of a slog tho.

[Skull]

just noticed, that weekend is my brothers birthday, so cannot make that weekend

[SwiftTempest]

what sort of games are likely to be played there, the usual?

[Bloodnok]

Depends on the usual :P

Not connecting my pc to the TV again (had a mini lan back in 2006 and used it for Red Alert 2, lost and that was the cause XD)

[Castiana]

That was an epic game ^^

[Bloodnok]

Just special note for Castiana, could you only bring 1 rig and 1 monitor. That goes for everyone aswell unless you had a proper word with me on what extra stuff you want to bring.

Oh got LAN cables? bring them as I may have issues with the lenght of mine. Ok on the switch front (8 and 24 port here already but 100Mbps max) unless someones got better(this is also under the extra stuff BS I've setup in previous paragraph).

Thank You

[Castiana]

I only took 1 rig and 1 monitor last time :p

[Bloodnok]

err no you didn't and you rebuilt your pc into another case :P

[Castiana]

That was still 1 rig and 1 moniter :p I just rebuilt in to a new case :P

[Bloodnok]

Ok i'll stop moaning, and could please bring that huge drum of network cable as I may need huge lengths of it (will pay by the meter).

[MadmaN]

the great thing about network cables is it aint to expensive :)

[Bloodnok]

Just tiny draw people, I have just found out that the Somerfield in Banchory (http://www.deesidepiper.co.uk/news/Banchory-to-be-supermarkert-free.5111587.jp) will be shut when this LAN is under way.

So we will have to go somewhere else for food (Asda, Bridge of Dee etc...).

However, there is a very good chipper in Peterculter (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=Peterculter&um=1&ie=UTF-8&split=0&gl=uk&ei=3zPbSbjHB9GrjAfqxPirCA&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&ct=title&resnum=1) (2-3min drive)

[Sakey]

Dave is there any space left for this? I don't know if I can make it yet or not but I am interested in coming.

[Bloodnok]

I've got at least 3 people comfirmed so there is space atm

[Bloodnok]

Guys, Im doing a test run of the lan the following weekend (parents away yet again) to see what may/may not work and hopefully be trouble free, if not, I'll try to get them sorted before hand.

[gemini]

If you need a hand then shout up and il help in any way I can :)

[Bloodnok]

Due to a jumble sale in Banchory on Saturday and that mini engine finally turning up, Im doing the test on Wednesday as Im that bored... however if it does work out, its possible that could be a EvE event here on Sunday.

[Bloodnok]

After today's successful mini l4d lan here, the max number of people has gone up to 7, so anyone still interested please post.

Note: found out that moblie phones are pants in my village...

[ZeroG]

You can count me in.

[Bloodnok]

3 Seats left now

[Sakey]

I'm def out now as I am moving house.

[Bloodnok]

np, good luck with that

[Bloodnok]

Right, Ive just found I'll be painting one of the garage's floor while the parents away(which will be done the weekend before this lan). So there maybe a parent's car taking up space while the floor dries.

And come on guys, there is still space at this lan and all are welcome.


Dates: 5th - 7th of June

I still haven't decided the times to start up/close down this party yet...

[gemini]

Anyone who requires transport should contact me asap to arrange.

[SwiftTempest]

if i can get those dates off from work then i'll be there, i wont know my travel arrangements until closer to the day

[MadmaN]

if i get a bus to aberdeen with my laptop can someone pick me up?

[gemini]

Yup.

[MadmaN]

Cheers! will use megabus like last time.

[Scottish-Husky]

yeh im interested :D

[Bloodnok]

2 seats left now

[Scottish-Husky]

yeh confirmed imma coming XD

[Bloodnok]

now to find another table...

[SwiftTempest]

i have just requested to get that weekend off, is there still room?

[Bloodnok]

Aye and one space left guys

Confirmed so Far:

Castiana (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=1)

MadmaN (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=106)

gemini (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=133)

ZeroG (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=82)

ScottishDragon (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=128)

SwiftTempest (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=198)

Just somethings i wanted to add:

Sleep where you can so bring air beds(got a air compressor to speed things up)

There is a fold out bed (double) that can be used.

Please bring your own food if you can (there is a beer fridge and will do a tesco run at westhill if needed).

If someone's pc dies on them (looks at castiana) , I do have a spare Dell Dimension 8400 running XP with 3Ghz P4, 4GB of RAM, 8800 GTX and 2 x SATA1 300GB HHD (plays L4D fine).

Any questions, just ask

[ZeroG]

How much room do you have ? Would it be better to take a desktop or a laptop ?

[Bloodnok]

Got the space for desktops (no CRTs plz) but will need help getting other table(s) like the one's gemini has for his lans

[Castiana]

Thats just harsh dave... the last LAN at yours I upgraded my PC, It dident blow up :p

[Bloodnok]

Well, it happens too often

Anyhoo, I will also allow your own chairs if they can fit the door ways (29inchs or 74cm wide approx) but the ones here are not too bad but suit yourself

[ZeroG]

My chair is a piece of crap - I need to get a new one.

[SwiftTempest]

can i get a list of games definatly going to be played pls

need to make sure i am up to speed

[Bloodnok]

From the Games list for BL10 (http://www.breachlan.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=801)

[MadmaN]

[PseudoPhreak]

if you really want a job, sacrifices have to be made....

[MadmaN]

Well i am about to start work soon in my usual place... and will get a weekend off every few weeks or something, so I hope my weekend lands on the lan of breachlan , would hate to miss it since i have made everyone upto now lol.

[Bloodnok]

Just found out from work i may not be able to get that weekend off

[Bloodnok]

Right, Ive just found I'll be painting one of the garage's floor while the parents away(which will be done the weekend before this lan). So there maybe a parent's car taking up space while the floor dries.

[Bloodnok]

I wish to thank you guys for spending the weekend at mine for the first and hopefully not the last DrumLAN (my cat hasn't gotten that kind of attention in years).

But guys, a bit of common sense was needed when the bin in the kitchen was beyond full...
