[fft] Lan Anyone?

in LAN parties
just in the idea phase right now
If we can get enough people to come to good ol' Oregon for a LAN.

Our goal is 50 people, if we can beat that so be it, but if you live on the western half of the US, or like to travel, please drop us a line at [email protected], or PM me in the fourms, OR reply to this thread. Any way you cut it I would like to actually MEET some of the people that own me like a pair of tube socks. So if we get enough people to come play it will happen.

Specifics...

Price:$10

Date: Mid/Late May2005(still deciding, Cartman2b is coming in mid May, and we don't want to LAN without him!)

Where: Oregon(exact site will depend on # of people but either in Salem or Portland)

Time: All day, till people pass out on the floor/go home

Things we plan on having:

Muzik
With a few live performances by some of your favorite people(or at least Some FFT nubs)


NS Tournement(yup it's time for another one of those)
Prizes BABY

CS tournament(or CS:S)
See above


Not Gaming area(brought up to us by someone who actually had some kind of female companion)
The last time we had a LAN we ran into this problem so before anyone asks we will have a nerd free zone for the people who don't want to PWN some NUBS, but still want to surf the web or read or what not.


Ritual Kilalot Sacrifice
we will get his powers(mic spamming losing E-penix to charcoal ECT.)

Any input or ideas for how we can make this lan, a time to remember for everyone so feel free to let me know what you think/if you wanna come.

Thanks people,

SM5

    aw that's so cute

    I'd love to come 'cause I love FFT, but it's be a really, really long drive, and I'm not sure my baby can take it. He's just a little car, and so far the longest trip he has been on was 4.5 hours. confused-fix.gif

    *Edit* Portland would take 45 minutes off of the drive for myself and most likely others coming from the East, but after a 41 hour drive, I don't think it would make much difference. tounge.gif

    I need to find a few more drivers to rotate, and then it'd all be good. (Oh yeah if I can get a week off of work.)

    If it's in may, count me in. And I can get 2-3 others interested. so make it 4

    Stupid damn exams.. The LAN might be pushed to early June but i'll have to get a list of exam dates before we get a definate date. Don't blame me.. blame the UK education system.

    I'll get a website fixed up with regular updates about this LAN once xmas break comes. If you have any questions, comments or ideas, just post here. I guess this thread can be a planning area untill the site comes active. If someone would like to fix up the site, just drop a PM to Spacemoogle5.

    So far we have a few guests pending. Comprox, Flayra and Ari are currently thinking about it. The current FFT members are looking through travel arrangements.

    So what are you waiting for? If you live near Oregon, sign up!

    Flayra changed my name from [FFT]Cartman2b to zuwcsm.. ftw!

    Anyway.. updates..

    We have many attendee's coming along. But the date is changing.. an official date will come along soon once i get my exam timetable.

    Now the new forums are up and i have a clean account. I can begin taking in names on who wants to attend. If you're interested, just give me a forum PM. It'll make it easy for me to create a list on whos going and what the clan needs space wise to rent a building to hold the event.

    Bye smile-fix.gif

    Is there a minimum number of people you are aiming to get to attend? Just thinking that if you do not have a very high turnout, if you would still plan to have tournaments. Its nice to have NS tournaments every once in a while, but they can get destroyed if there aren't enough teams to play.

    I was planning on attending, but then a bunch of money just went down the drain which I didn't expect. If there is anyone else going to drive from the Edmonton, AB area, my chances of coming greatly increase.

    just to let you guys know, I'm definetly game and my whip [car] will be fixed by then, so thats space for up to 4 more people in the greater sacramento area who are trying to mab up to oregon!

    [edit]
    ****, if it comes down to it I'm game to schwoop Mr. Cleveland from SF, it's a pretty short drive, and you don't really go to far south, plus you can go up 1 and look at the pretty coastline, fangs if Flayra trys to pull a "I don't have transportation" tell him I have his back marine.gif

    Just for the record, I really would love to get to this lan. Origionally I was planning on driving, but a sweet opportunity for me to be able to apply to make 4k this summer came up, and as a poor college student, I can't turn down that opportuinty. So if I get this job I would fly, if I don't I'll drive and try to fill my car with able bodied drivers so the good 41 hours driving time it will take will be divided up more.

    As far as flying goes: Apparently the only close airport is in Portland, so if the LAN is in Salem would I be able to get a ride from Portland?

    The flight I am thinking about would get me there at 11 pm on the 10th, and I would leave at 6:31 pm on the 12th (because I have a training session to be at in the morning on the 13th).

    This would be so crazy, but normally my summers are very boring.

    *edit* if this lan was earlier in June, or later in May it would make things much easier. tounge.gif

    Man I would love to go, but unfortunately driving from NJ is unreasonable, and flying is out of the question (too much $$$) Anyways I hope this takes off, have fun with it.

    Did this ever turn out?


    :Edit: Yea I'm a ****, I was reading join dates on the side, not post dates above. Sigh.


    I'll go. I'd love to have a LAN of NS with some skilled people, the main reason being that I can be reasonably sure that no one's hacking, and maybe get some skill tips.

    Slap a date down onto the table and force everyone to adhere to it would be my idea.

    I live up north of portland by probably 4 hours, I'm on the Washington State peninsula. I'd be happy to drive someone else if they need it, but my car is tiny.
