So when's the next spawn scheduled? Was it announced at v19 and I completely missed it?

What I have generally found to be a rule of thumb, once per school holidays (give or take a week). For some reason Union Hall always seems to be free around then. So I would be guessing April-ish

End of Jan, I heard. Probably a bit late now for that to go ahead, but you never know!

Next spawn date needs ample notice to allow for a greater turn out. 3/4 weeks notice like last time is just stupid.

The next event will likely be sometime in April. We'll make an announcement when we have something to announce.

April 16-17th, to be exact.

Ages away. I suppose I can wait that long though. I mean, It's Respawn ;D

spawn*

Sando - can i start getting friends to book flights to melb, if the date is 16-17th?

as in .. is it safe to say, that date is locked down?

The date is locked in; pending the apocalypse, we'll be running then.

Cheers!

so are we sure on the official date of the next respawn yet !

i would like to thank the admins who replied to my message regarding these dates...

aahhaha heathy i love how oblivious you were to the entire thread.

Ill see you boys there this time, if you need anything from me, contact me. etc etc.

Hey there.

Im a longtime attendee of Fragfest in Sydney, and would LOVE to come down to this event.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on transport there... Driving would be a pain in the ass... If i was to fly, does anyone know the best/safest/cheapest way i could get my PC's down there (I would have 2x PC's, 1 monitor... my lanbag could come with me as carry on)

Hey twitch, tiny, raven and myslef drove down last time we did this, it was good.
But alas i can't make this one, but love to hit one up a bit later on.

Why would you need 2 PCs and only one monitor? Pretty sure gaming would be pretty hard without a monitor for the second PC. Would also be pretty hard to connect 2 PCs to the network given that you're only supplied with one network port.

might be worth getting in touch with missingo and bestrafe from SGL and seeing if they are coming down to the next one. might be able to bum a ride

Second one (I am guessing) would be a server with and with atleast 2 RJ45 ports, that wouldn't need a monitor, and you run the network cable into one port and bridge the connection to get the connection onto the other port as well.

My questions were rhetorical.

Twitchy: Flying with computer gear checked in, is BAD BAD BAD. Guys from Canberra did that and the shaking/shuddering of the plane damaged their HDDs. Sure its okay to carry on a laptop but anything else... terribad idea.

As everyone above have said, You only get 1 port and there are plenty of sydney guys who do come down to game with us so it might be worth talking to them. I went to an Adelaide event in a hire car, so trust me, it can be done if you put your mind to it.

I have known a few people to check their pc's for flights, they all take their hdds out and put them in their carryon.

Also make sure your cpu heatsink is secure. If its not screwed down, you may want to put it in your carry on too. you dont want a nice chunk of metal bouncing around between your psu and video card.
