EDIT: It looks like, between all the communities I'm part of and people I know online there's enough interest that it might be more cost effective to have the venue moved to Vancouver and to focus more on several teamwork based indie games instead of just NS2. So if anyone knows of any more games that fit into this category nicely it'd be great if you point them out.
I have at my disposal a beach house that is totally empty in Roberts Creek on the sunshine coast. It's about a 2 hour trip out of Vancouver. It's got three bedrooms 2 bathrooms and a fairly big livingroom. We were thinking of doing some LAN parties there before the house sells but it would require the hooking up of internet and the collecting of many desks and chairs etc. which can be a lot of effort. Most importantly however it would require a server, which I do not have.
I'm just curious to see how many folk would be interested to come if we could acquire a server. It's right on the beach and beach fires ARE allowed.
Maybe we could even do a little tourny? I dunno, pretty open to ideas. Mostly I just thought "hey I got this big empty house on the beach and house viewing season is pretty much over" so it seemed like a cool idea.
Thoughts and/or ideas?
You can contact me on Steam or at the National Gaming forums in addition to this thread.

I'm doing one at my own house this weekend. We were going to play some ns2, guns of icarus and maybe something else. Got one guy from vancouver who will come if there's some folk to carpool with.
Hope you get some peeps going that are close by. I'm in Massachusetts USA so its a bit far for me.
HAVE FUN!
Hey man, the wrong side of this country is in the middle, the coasters are all awesome. 8)
For any Vancouverites who are on the fence. Just know it's about a 2-3 hour trip out of Van at worst. If you time it right and the lions gate isn't a clusterfuck then it can be under an hour and a half.
If you don't come, you won't get any cake.
BTW, I just noticed in my previous post spell check put "comradely" instead or comradery... how embarrassing
Naw, I'm kinda an awkward loser in real life. The last thing I need is to hurt my internet rep making real friends.
Plus I only do McDonalds playroom parties only if it has a ball pit.
Also the first op link goes to a private steam account, the second goes to a members only forum section. Unless this is the intended result?
In any case, if I can't make it on-site ever, maybe I can connect and play with you guys over the net some time when you guys gather.
Opened up my steam profile for steam users, thanks for letting me know. It always shows up proper when I click on it.
That said, don't be a bitch! Man up and get in the car, time for some fucking adventure!
Unless the sport your coaching is paintball it's not important anyway.
Anyway, this will hardly be the last of our lan parties, so I'll continue to update this thread anyway as I remember to.
Next summer we're doing some outdoor lans here in event tents and whatnot. We also have an outdoor pool table near the outdoor bar... so there's some pretty sweet potential there.
Still Private. No one will be able to send you friends invites.
Gah I'll just make it totally public. I just don't trust the internet very much.
Yeah, next time. Rushing things always causes mistakes.
Opinions?
I'm going to PM @hugh and see if there's anything UWE would like to do to help. It'd be cool if we could arrange some prizes for people new to the game like some skins or something for most valuable new player. It'd be nice if we could bring more teamwork oriented players into the community. I'm also going to PM Muse games and see if they'd also like to help cross promote in some way.
