Respawn Lan 550 instead of 450 :), Just my opinion Options

[kurtyboy]

I think that it should cost an extra 20 for the costs I know it's full and all but come on respawn LANs are number 1... that would be mad because I've tried for the past 2 and I either just miss out or don't know it's on ...

Perhaps run a registration for a Respawn LAN 850 and see if you can get a huge room in the Exhib building or something similar. Not as an official event, but to see if you could:

a ) Get the interest
b ) Get the needed funds

problem is, a lot of people register/confirm but then don't show up. I think last respawn we had about 600 people register, 450 confirm, and only about 350 actually show up.

That's almost 300 people who confirmed and didn't show, which is about a third

Hi, let me introduce you to my good friend call Maths. He's quite lonely at the moment.

I can assure you all these things have been thought about. When it's feasible and there is the financial backing, something big will likely happen. Maybe.

My bad, should have said, almost 300 REGISTERED that didn't show up, not confirmed. Maths is for squares.

Does no one read what i type? the convention centre is a *SHITTY* place for a lan

LAN + convention has been attempted. and failed

Mostly, i'd assume, because going to a convention and going to a LAN has two completely different mindsets.

At a LAN, you nest, at a convention, you hunt.

Also, non-compulsory online payments sounds like a fantastic idea. It could be done via paypal. Excuse my ignorance, as i don't know how difficult something like that is to set up, but it would be great for people who know they are going to be late (due to work/home commitments) but are definitely going to show up
