Title: Virginia LAN party
Post by: R@nger on February 04, 2009, 12:28:42 AM
Hey guys some of you may know me, I used to play in your server quite often. PC-Gamers.net, which is the home community of COWA will be hosting a LAN party in Virginia on the 27th and 28th of June 2009. We will be renting out a 21,600 sq foot expo hall and I personally would love nothing more than to see it full. Now being that this will be our first large LAN party I dont really expect it to be that big, but I do see potential for 50+ attendees. We will have a few ladder style tournaments and a few challenges such as the last man standing challenge. At this point i believe the doors will open Saturday morning and it will run until Sunday evening. There will be a headset rule so dont shop up with some big ass speakers that everyone in the building has to listen to. If you have any good ideas feel free to voice them in the proper thread at www.pc-gamers.net

  Where: Fishersville, Virginia
  When: June 27th-28th 2009
  What to bring: Your computer (box, monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset), 25ft min network cable, if you have an extra gigabit switch with 24 ports or more it     would be nice of you to bring with in case we need it.
  Cost: $20 gets you both days

If you are serious about attending please email me at The_Ranger@pcgn.net so I have a count of how many people to expect.

ps, ima hook people who attend up with some free food a couple times a day as well. Got a few pizza joints that will work with us and there is a mcdonalds like a minute up the road, so itll be dollar menu for everyone. Will also be food and drinks for sale at the event for those who are to lazy to bring their own. Beer will not be sold there, however, noone cares if you bring your own, i just ask that there is no hard liquor and that the beer be kept on the downlow as much as possible. Being that we are required by the facility to carry insurance we had to opt for the no alcohol clause(but we can look the other way)

Unfortunately, it's hard enough for most of us to make it to our clan held events, let alone something else. Thanks for letting us know about the oppurtunity though.

Nice, I just got this page up, I am asking everyone to go to the bottom and preregister ONLY if you are serious about attending. I need an accurate count to be sure we do not "under do" the hardware etc. If anyone attending has an extra decent computer that would be willing to lend for server use show up a day early and your admission is free. Of course this offer is limited, as we wouldnt need 100 servers  :dontknow:
