moar guni imo. How was it? cant wait to see pics

In terms of AFK comps and funcomps, we had to downscale things a bit. For one we were down an admin and had to make do on a much smaller crew this event.

Next LAN however...
Hourly funcomps will return
your AFK comp favourites will return

if you want more comps, run them yourself

the admins are running all events out of their own time, not because they are paid or anything

with admin support i could run funcomps and AKF's

I think what Orbit (guy who runs the fun comps) was trying to do, rather then having many short fun comps, we had a few that went through out the event (Diablo II and Minecraft), and the DDR mats and poker for AFK comps.

Correct. Orbit did a fantastic job with this.

I would like to have hourly funcomps return for people who dont play DDR and minecraft

Yeah, the Iron Gut and HDD throwing was placed on hold for this event sadly guys. It's something I will talk to R4N aboot. (yes for some reasin at 5:33am I am speaking with Canadian dialect)...

Besides the hourly... "We are going to play <Insert game here>" do you have any other suggestions?

Also, 7-11 made reference to "admins should walk around and announce them and help players", sadly the difficulty here is, We like you, are here to game rather than support you in terms of the "how-to". SirSquid more often than not in his own time leading up to our events, puts together "Respawn DVDs" with the free games that the fun comps are often based off. These are also available off ftp.respawn.lan also (this includes steam suddenly seeing we have an event and doing an update).

That said, your suggestions are entirely valid and R4N has certainly noted them amongst the group of us helpers who help the admins run the event. If you are keen on stepping up and being part of the team too, we're all ears... send R4N a PM with this link here.

Cheers

Personally, I would like both on-going, but some sort of competition for the on-going things, a larger prize then the regular fun comps on the basis that you are spending more time at the event working on <insert activity in the game here>.

Yay discount!

You so aren't a girl!

RULES OF THE INTERBUTTS SAY SO

So that means no discount on prepay cause thats on the interbutt?
And if i pay at the venue I do get a discount because it isn't the interbutts?

This is my 2nd respawn and i couldnt believe how many people left by 9 in the morning i reckon that there should be some game comps on sunday as there is nothing to do and by having more game comps would encourage people to stay on sunday.

Also what happened to the redbull girls? i wanted my free redbull

there was hardly any afk comps at all which was quite boring.

but apart from that i had quite some fun in the cod4 comp and watching css players play

possibly make respawn prepay all the time ? having alot more attendance

i will definatly be returning to the next respawn

Poker was a pain.. two tables has to take turns playing because there weren't enough chips.. this made sure I sat at the second table for almost an hour and a half waiting for the first table to finish playing. By then, half of my table had found better things to do and so it was another half hour of searching for them so we could get started...

Also, I'm not really sure why someone had to put a bin right next to me during the CS tourney.. I know you guys want the cameras and shit, but I really didn't appreciate a (very full) bin being put right beside my chair. Every time I tried to move it I would get death stares from some wanker holding a camera or some shit, so please tell them next time to leave everything as it was.

More comps are needed in general (afk, fun, serious) to keep people entertained for the event, and it seems like there are more than enough people willing to help run the comps to help out the admins.

Speakers are annoying.. I don't care if you have a laptop with built-in speakers, it doesn't mean that everyone likes your shitty techno garbage.. please stop.

Food was great and drinks were always cold.

Fun comps need to be announced properly.. I always seem to join the server just as everything is coming to an end and then nothing is said as to who won.. Even though it's just a fun comp, it would be nice for admins to give a shout out to those who won.

I really don't think 100% prepay will fix any problems, considering confirmed registrations didn't even fill the player list for this respawn (yes, i'm aware it's almost christmas and that's probably why, so I could be wrong here..)

As for us 'small penis fucktards' with nerf guns, we bring them to have some laughs and good, harmless fun. No one ever actually gets hurt from the darts, so please quit bitching if one happens to land near your desk or knock over your can tower (gratz on you, you figured out how to drink too much soft drink...)

At the end of all this, I had fun at this respawn and will be back for the next one

Unless your zardoz and get hit in the eye at point blank range with a high powered *insert nerf model here* (just sayin )

I beleve that GTA 4 should be on the ftp steam backups too... just because i have the steam version and for some reason it wanted to update/reinstall the game a pain because i wanted to play some GTA 4

You should have asked! It would only have taken a few minutes to fix you up with Steam backup.

that was actually R4N that copped my dart to the face

'dart' eh?

na at the time dead_man it was everybody shoot zardoz with nerf guns lol.

It's always 'shoot zardoz with nerf' time.

i didn't like the tourneyfags spectator mates one of them comes past knocked over a pile of stuff and my friend had been stacking for what ever reason said "woops" like he was mad shit walks off, not that i cared about the stack of what ever he was just a dick head.

besides that this Respawn was pretty cool, lack of people yes but it had all the people you wanted, well besides my drop kick friends who had "better things to do" probably getting porn from the internet instead from a lan.

i would like to see more fun comps and afk comps H&S was fun but not organised correctly, if it was it could be much better i noticed the seekers just dropped the game pretty quick because hell they were pretty bad or the fact the area was a bit too big with too much freedom for hiders. i enjoyed beating zardoz at his childhood favorite game Puzzle Bubble for a bag of chips and other things like that.

all in all it was good.
