Respawn 15 wrap-up Options

[Zardoz]

Respawn LAN 15 was by far the most successful Respawn LAN we've ever had!


Some things worthy of note:

• This was the biggest Respawn LAN we've ever run...
• Union hall has now seen 10 consecutive years of LAN events since Shafted 7 held in January 2000.
• This was the first Respawn LAN where all network switches were uplinked at 2Gbit/sec minimum.
• We destroyed a Power Mac G4 (video coming!)
• We had the largest presence from interstate gamers yet!
• The mess left by many of the players was perhaps the worst we've ever had to clean up... we provide ample bins, so what's going on here??

Many thanks go to those who remained behind after the event to help clean up, especially the guys from SGL and SOGC who had a trip back to Sydney ahead of them. Also, a big thanks to CouchWarriors for rocking up with their gaming consoles and running a competition for us - we look forward to working with CW on future events. Shouts also go to our sponsors, Centre Com and ThermalTake for making this event possible.

Plans are already underway for our 16th event to be held on the second weekend of April. We look forward to seeing you there!

no space for bins to go between the aisles! >< but that's a nice idea!
it was hard to find an unfull bin by the end of the night. garbage bag at the end of each aisle?

but yesh... those st00pid bums who leave their rubbish for others to clean up are the worst! -.-
