Thanks to ProActive Self Defence for their amazing demonistration of martial arts.

Most importantly, I must take the time to thank every admin, gopher and player for helping us make this the most successful Respawn event to date. I've been involved with LAN admin for over six years and v3 has been one of the most enjoyable events I have run.

A big shout to Norgs who helped us with arranging the 10 Gigabit Ethernet gear for this weekend.

Thanks to the admin team:

Katster, who ran the AFK comps and did the most incredible job making the venue kick ass, BumbleBJ, who arranged the venue, floorplan, check-ins, barbecues and keeping track of the money, Blackjack (assisted by Sando) for developing and maintaining the EMS throughout the event, xitation for his magic with the servers, The Shadow for ensuring that our competitions ran as smoothly as possible and configuring competition servers and Daemo for handling drink sales and assisting with power throughout the event. There were many other tasks performed by the admins, gophers and players who helped us run this event (including those who helped me maintain the network and resolve technical issues) - there are fortunately too many to list.

GG to all those who remained behind to help us keep the event clean. We got a thankyou from the venue staff for the state of the venue.

We look forward to seeing you at the next Respawn event for something a little different!
