LAN FEST XII - The Dirty Dozen - 22nd to 25th April !!!

ianjpage · April 18, 2011, 03:27:34 AM

we be there friday morning to setup then most evenings but not necissarily all the days / all day long...and prob just me playing as vicky wrist still hurting...

PhilO will be away for some of the weekend - providing another parking space . . . I did ask when, exactly, but then promptly forgot - I think he said he's away saturday - sunday.

However.

We don't seem to be doing too well on numbers do we ?

So far I'm the only full-time confirmed gamer - Ryan's confirmed for all but one evening and Ian basically confirmed in the evenings, atm.

I think we need at least another three confirmations otherwise it's gonna be a bit pointless.

We don't even have that many "maybes".

Thoughts ???

I don't mind hosting at all but the Caddy is currently sitting outside in the (admittedly not so bad) elements to clear the garage and at the moment there'd be plenty of room still if I left her parked up inside !!

I was going to be taking Thursday afternoon off to give the garage a dust (it needs it) and hoover, the floor a good clean and get the carpet down from the loft and in, ready. But at this rate I'm a little reluctant as I'm pretty busy at work and taking time off won't help matters.

So I ask again - and effectively less than 4 days away I'd expect people to have some idea what they're doing - Can I have (any) confirmations, please ?

Just seen this on BBC news, seeing as it has some relevance among us i thought i'd add it here.

Are colour blind gamers left out?

I've just ordered the BF:BC2 Server from Rackage, it should be up & running Tuesday this week ready for the weekend

Its now running, on the server Browser search the European zone for "MKB Bad Company 2" and it will show up. 16 player server.

Its not passworded at the moment so Joe public will be in there too

but it will be over the weekend.

they not open till 10 if i remember correct?

I could pop over yours before then, get some stuff sorted then head over to costco if you want / don't mind?

Not sure the garage'll be ready before then !

Roadkill · April 20, 2011, 10:38:51 AM

Ryan - do you know what day you're out for Matt's Party, yet ?

OK fair enough - let us know when you know as if not i'll possibly pop to costco first for when they open as well

Nope no idea.
i highly doubt i'll know until the day TBH, which is rather annoying, their proper welcome home/engagement party isn't until Royal wedding day but i've assumed there will be some sort of more informal gathering this coming weekend as they get home today but TBH i've not heard anything. It may not even happen...

Yeah, no problem
