Respawn LAN v13 impressions/suggestions/complaints thread Options

So, what did y'all think?

I found the amount of messages fine in comparison to other lans. The BS stuff like THE GAME pisses me off, but it's good to have communication between admins and gamers.
I would prefer hearing "UT2004 comp starting in 5 minutes" several times, then have it said only once or twice and miss out because I'm wearing headphones.

Some points.
Tron - This needs to be bigger at v14. Was great!
HAWX competition was fun to play but poorly organised. My team (the Pedo Bandits) had to masqurade under the ladder as the Big Dick Army Team, while they had to play under the name of another team. It was pretty horrible organisation. I think it was Lewis' fault.
Ut2004 - Needs to be a proper game like previous lans instead of a random funcomp imo. People should be able to sign up and see exactly when its going to be on. I missed out on this one and was not happy.
More themeing! Personalized nametags are fantastic, but I dont expect admins to painstakingly do this anymore The QUARANTINE Respawn (v11?) was absolutely fantastic, walking in and seeing ripped sheeting with bloody handprints covering the entire hall. Theme decorations and themed trophies are absolutely brilliant and really charge the atmosphere. I might even costume along if it's something I can do without too much money or discomfit.
Midnight BBQ - As per usual, but still great. Leave as is. If you could include hamburgers as well as sausages that would be cool.
Network Problems/Uptime - I couldn't connect to the Ut3 comp with my legit steam version, which sucked donkey balls. I got in at the last minute using a cracked version which is just ridiculous. However I think this was the game and not a network issue. I had no network problems this lan, (almost a first) but with only 300 users I think was to be expected.

We were planning on having personalised name tags but just had no time, sorry! Hopefully they'll make a return this event.
