Just out of curiousity, was every seat filled at v20, or was there some empty spaces (not including prepaid seats). I was all set to attend, but a death in the family put a dampener on that.
Just wondering what needs to happen to entice more people to come along.
I came at 6PM after I finished work with my brother, and I had to wait about 15 minutes before I could get 2 adjacent seats, there was only maybe 3-4 single seats left in the venue at that time. Thanks to the girl that left when she did sitting next to priorax, you saved the LAN for my brother and I lol
It's a shame about the steam issues.. valve like to be inconvenient pricks don't they with regards to respawn heh, aside from that there were no issues in getting any games going, the SC2 was nice on Sunday afternoon - I'm hoping next time if people want to play SC2 that they bring their 3G sticks beforehand and something can be organised earlier
(or the unthinkable happens and blizzard implement lan mode hah)
I may be alone or in the minority in this but a "no bloody screaming out loud at the top of your voice after 3am" rule would be nice, trying to get a few hours of shuteye above the lan was a little difficult thanks to a select few, maybe next time I'll just bring earplugs
The BBQ was excellent as usual, starting up at just the right times, thank you guys
This is nothing on the running of the event but just a personal observation on the respawn crowd - the chat in the file program that shalt not be named was (unsurprisingly?) infantile and ridiculous, but with people getting riled up about it was really, really stupid imo. I have never seen this at any other lans I've been to in 8 years, although its been close to 18 months since I've been to a respawn- people actually threatening eachother with violence and even acting on it, can't you guys treat each other with a bit more respect and a bit less animosity? (hint to the server runner: implement some wordfilters or something :/) (real admins: don't take this criticism to heart)
Power and network were top notch as usual
I may or may not add to this later but these are my thoughts on this weekends lan, thanks for the well run event
