Breachlan 7 Feedback

gemini · 2nd December 2007

Great LAN. Thank you to Alan, Dex, Scott, Sion and Dave for organising it.
Everything was great apart from one thing. I dont think there were enough big organised games. Il explain why I think this is the case. At Breachlan6 there was a relatively low attendance. It was drilled into everyone during the leadup to the event that in order to make the lan worthwhile, EVERYONE would need to join in all the games. Wheather they liked the game or not. As a result, everyone did join all the games, and everyone had a great time. This was slightly less so at this lan and il put it down to the slightly higher attendance.
I think personally, a games schedule should go up on the website, in advance of the lan (like, at least a month). Thus allowing everyone to make sure they have all the games installed and patched before the event. And ofc, during the runup and while at the event, everyone should be encouraged all the time to play in the scheduled games at their scheduled times.
This is not to say we have a schedule up for every hour of the entire lan. But say organising a game for between Midday and 2pm, then 4pm to 6pm, and 8pm - Whenever. Just two hour slots with plenty time between them.
Other than that, I was pleased by the Broadband. Well done Madman for organising that. The room was really nice and cosy warm, which was pleasant. As per usual I had no problems with the network, friendly staff, great friendly environment, great games played. Well done lads, that was a great event. Roll on Breachlan 8

I'm glad that you guys enjoyed the lan! Yeah we will be working toward having slightly more structure at the next event, as we tend to sway from too many scheduled games and not enough. Just need to work more on getting the balance right!

Great to see new faces, including the guys from Horizontal Dog

Roll on number eight!

Lizii · 3rd December 2007

Overall i give the Lan "good fun". Lots of things could of gone better (curse you work) but at some point i will send you guys a list of pros and cons

I just don't do long posts.

Deep Blue · 3rd December 2007

Well you were hardly there! Let's hope you managed to get the entire weekend off for the next one

Lizii · 3rd December 2007

Glad you all enjoyed it! I agree with gemini, we need to sort out the big games with time slots. Other than that, went very well!

Hi.

Just wanted to say, that even for the short period that I was there for, BreachLAN is certainly shaping up to be a brilliant LAN party. It's not just a room of people sat behind screens for 48 hours, but is very much developing into a party with lots of things happening.

Keep up the good work people and let's see another Scottish location soon! More LANs, More LANs, More LANs!!!!!

Matt.

Deep Blue · 10th December 2007

As always, pleasure to see you again Matt! It's always good to get feedback both positive and negative

Really enjoyed the last LAN, roll on BreachLAN #8
