SG17 - It Lives!

Post by **PeteTheHair** » Tue Nov 11, 2003 12:37 pm

And so it came to pass that on the eleventh day of November, in the year of our Lord twenty hundred and three, the Shotgun admin team did get off their almightily fat asses and plan a LAN. They invited the very cream of the gaming community to play, the makers of the finest equipment and beer to sponsor them, and the finest server administrators in the land to run it.

But none of them would come. "Bugger", the admins did say, "We're stuck with the usual lot again".

And thus, you are invited to partake in a weekend of gaming madness, with a special guest appearence by, erm... Me. Shouting a lot.

The basic rundown then -
Event: SG17
Dates: 9 - 11th January, 2004
Cost : The classic SG £15 for prepay, £20 on the door.
Location: TS Swiftsure, Aldershot. There's a map on the website somewhere. I can't be arsed to look it up.
Monkeys: I've done this joke before.

So, come join us for a weekend of drinking, shouting, gaming and probably burning things, seeing as the bonfire was quite a success last time out.

Signups as usual on the forum, and gimme a shout if you got any questions, either via mail, or on IRC/MSN/ICQ.

Yeah, they have to buy tickets so they can watch whatever is on the projector, I think it was the Hulk last time

About bloody time something happened, im bored of all my vid's of things... and still need the rest of the second series of the west wing (Peter Matthews! But thanks for Scrubs!) Also, i have actually been playing games this time so i might stand a change of staying alive for longer than 3.5 seconds...maybe!

I am a definate maybe. My first day back at work after leave is the following Mon (12 Jan) so turning up to work knackered might not be so sensible. That said, I am up for it. Now all I need to confirm is when are we moving into the house we are buying...

Speaking of which... is there any unusual, quirky unique things you'd like to be at your lan, involving masses and masses of players, all particpating together, up on the projector?

w00t!

Halo! Halo! Halo!

And I have my nice shiny blue box now. So more "Come on Dave!" when games are starting.

What file distribution s/w are we planning for SG? eMule nearly did well last time, except it was a little, uh, beta. eMulePlus looks very decent, however..

what games are you planning to play?

rib? · Post by **rib?** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 12:10 pm

i reckon there will be a fair bit of desert combat and also some RTS like homeworld. Some HLDM will probably be played by those that do no other and i want to orginise a Liveforspeed 30min enduro race..
