we appreciate both positive and negative, as both will get us to make better events in future

I wanted me some Plain Sight LAN action but it was not too be. Too late of a release for it to get recognised
Glorious game though.

Me too, dude. Me too.

Pity I only got it the night before, and didn't get a chance to analyse it and figure out the ports we need - there's no documentation on their site about it

Next event!

I got it the night before, heaps of fun. Would be great to get this going for next 'spawn

For anyone interested in having a game, nick alert me on #respawn IRC channel.

With a LAN this large it is sometimes easy to forget that not everyone is into the game YOU play.
So as an admin team it can get quite hard to plan around it.

What I've always thought would be a sweet idea is some kind of easy to read and ammend list of games up. Have a list/forum (but not quite) somewhere that people can just go 'add wc3 battleships game' and that will show up and people will know that people are playing it somewhere and maybe who to contact to get in on it. In addition you could have all the servers Respawn is running permanently listed so you don't have to open 5 different games up just to check what servers are running and if anyone is actually in them. Maybe an IRC type chat below it as well? So if someone was to open it up, they could see all the games currently going, add something if they wanted to or look at the chat to see if anyone is asking for players in a game they might want to play.

A lot of the time you might be after a game of something and so might other ppl but you'd never know to join up with each other. I think more gaming could be much encouraged by increasing the opportunity of people to play, and this a great way to do it.

I was thinking the same thing. Forums are okay, but they're slow to update and not checked often enough. Maybe an extra tab on the website, where players can put up servers that they're running or ask for servers to be put up for certain games. It's kind of sad that most of this sort of chat happens in the DC atm...

AFAIK, there is still an irc server running at the event, so if more people were aware of it it would be a great way to advertise/ask what games are being played. You could talk about it there, and change your nick depending on what you were playing, eg.
Maelstrom|Tron or Maelstrom|AOE2

Not everyone is comfortable running and using and IRC client though, so maybe it needs website functionality.
