So, what did y'all think?

Ironically, the feedback I've had in person about the microphone has been quite the opposite.

They've all said "You need to speak up more and repeat what you say!" or "You need another way of announcing in addition to the microphone" etc.

And I tend to agree with them. *shrugs*

THere was no music during the lan, bit dissapointed there.

There was music some/most of the time quietly in the background, iirc. I think. Or maybe that was only during set up / pack up. Either way, there was some music at some points in time.

I think they're talking about the official announcements... But if somebody has a parking ticket there is no need to be a dick about it in front of everyone... It has gotten better though.... I think this was the first LAN we didnt have to hear about "The Game"

Guys, believe it or not the admins dont like repeating themselves. But they have to because if Latrobe turn around to us and say "Your attendee's can no longer enter the inner campus because of people flouting the rules" then your all going to have to carry your equipment a much longer way, which takes away the fun experience of respawn. That said, Make sure you obey the parking signs and the Service permit that grants you 30 minutes entry. Then you will find there will be much less "Shame on the microphone".

It's one thing to announce the service parking permits and mention someone has been booked, and it's another to publicly humiliate the person responsible. I think you will find it was the sheer volume of Microphone announcements that got to some of us - rather than the "Official Announcements". The point of a PA System is to grab the attention of a large group. It achieves this by momentarily disrupting individuals - which is absolutely fine if the message has some substance. To harp on every 2 minutes about Pizza Orders, Connecting to a Game, asking multiple times for teams to "come up the front", it gets annoying very quickly.

If you can't get a hold of someone after the first and reminder message, you have bugger all chance getting their attention on the 5th to 10th announcement within 20 minutes. If people are half serious about tournaments, pizza ordering etc... they will be aware of the times. If they're not, then tough shit. We will all eventually get over it.
