CYBERJAYA, Malaysia -- About 300 gamers participating in "CyberFusion 2009" played computer games for 40 hours-setting the world record for the Longest LAN Party.
Hasn't Respawn already beat this record? Scratch that.... u only get allocated so much rest time per person. Everyone has to play non-stop pretty much.
Still reckon we could break it

From what I can tell after a certain amount of time awake you build up "rest credits" which u can use to sleep or w/e.

"Thankfully the players were allowed to take breaks and were given a 10 minute rest period for every straight 60 minutes played. This rest period could be saved up so six hours of play would get you an hour of rest. NVIDIA was also kind enough to provide free food and drinks to the gamers. To top it off, BAWLs was giving away pallets of their caffeinated energy drink."

Hi,
CPL Pacific was run at Flemington Racecourse in 2001 and ran for three days straight of gaming. It was run by AusGamers/Shafted LAN and was the first network we ever ran full Cisco equipment. Fatal1ty came over for this one too and we all had a game with him. Oh boy, we got spanked!

The tables had to be better than the floor. Man... that wasn't sleep. That was wasted time.

People sleep at lans?
I'm interested in how. I mean, I've wanted to, and my only solution was to sleep in my car at V9. With the smell; the noise and the amount of people there, how do you do it? Also, what do you do with your stuff (I'm paranoid.)

if you stop drinking energy drinks from 8pm it's almost forgone that you will pass out and sleep at somepoint,
as for your stuff that's why you bring mates

or don't drink energy drinks at all
also a comfy materass + comfy bedding + good noise cancelling headphones + ipod = ~7 hrs sleep. ^_-i only take my laptop to respawn... so laptop + wallet/phone/ipod come with me to bed.
