AI-Con Lans

General Info:

After the awsomeness of LAN #12 we’ve decided that LAW131 can no longer contain our humble event. We thought long and hard and eventually we came to the conclusion that we simply must move to a larger venue! So I’m proud to announce we’re moving to the Hobart Showgrounds for our 3rd of July LAN.

All great changes are difficult, but hopefully this will be easy for all attendees. Please remember that entrance is via the MAIN GATE via Howard Rd. Click here for a map specifying adjacent parking and event location. For those in the know we will be in the Administration Building, in the Patrons Room.

This LAN will be a 13 hour event, beginning Saturday July 3rd at Noon, stretching on until 1AM the following day. No Internet connection will be available, so if your using Steam please switch it to offline mode.

We will once again be following a timetable, however consider it a guide rather than an absolute. We will once again be attempting to integrate COD4 into our play list. Please bear in mind that audio related problems are responsible for a 50% failure rate on install. This is Infinity Ward’s failing not ours so bear this in mind.

Dedicated server/File server will be running once again so  if you’d like something to be running on the server, please email with a request. Wireless will be available but this is no excuse for not bringing a network cable.

The new event timetable is the following. Whilst the list is published, things may fall slightly askew.

Noon – 1PM	Attendee setup/leech	1 hr
1PM – 3PM	Battlefield 2 (v1.5)	2hrs
3PM – 3.30PM	LUNCH BREAK	30mins

Copies will be provided for the unfortunate. Game play-list is subject to majority vote.

Our new venue will not have a projector running until we are able to afford one, so we will be relying on televisions. Console gamers will be provided space as part of the ongoing console fight game tournaments. This continues to be a crowd drawer so please come along & pick up a controller. If your only attending to participate in console games its only $5dls.

Standard rules & common sense apply as we are on Hobart Showgrounds property so please remember to be courteous, clean and no alcohol. IF YOU MAKE A MESS CLEAN IT UP. Alsoall our LAN all our events are of aMA15+ rating, so please bear this in mind.

We will be operating a DC++ HUB. This will be the only method of leeching available. We’ll be using YnHub and we STRONGLY encourage the use of DC++ 0.762 or ApexDC++ 1.3.3. Please pre-hash your files.

As we are paying venue hire for this event, all participants are required to pay $10.00 dollars to attend or $5 if you only play the consoles.

We now provide refreshments during the event. $1.00 for a can Solo or Coke. 600ml water also going for $1. Rockstar will be available for $3.75 for a 500ml can.
