AI-Con Lans

General Info:

Another fortnight, another LAN! After LAN #13, we’re convinced that the Hobart Showgrounds are the place to be, so our next event is going to be there too. Our next event will be held on Saturday, 17th of July.

13 hour event as per usual, Noon start-up, though doors open at 11.30AM. Event wraps up at 1AM.

No Internet will be available, so Steam users please switch it to offline mode. We encourage attendees to place their box on the table, however we will try and accommodate those who choose not to. We also remind people to bring a surge protecting device as the LAN cannot provide that equipment.

Copies will be provided for the unfortunate. Game play-list is subject to majority vote.  Wireless may be available but this is no excuse for not bringing a network cable.

Venue does not have a projector 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.

Also all 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.
