Respawn 15 wrap-up

Respawn LAN 15 was by far the most successful Respawn LAN we've ever had!
Some things worthy of note:
- This was the biggest Respawn LAN we've ever run...
- Union hall has now seen 10 consecutive years of LAN events since Shafted 7 held in January 2000.
- This was the first Respawn LAN where all network switches were uplinked at 2Gbit/sec minimum.
- We destroyed a Power Mac G4 (video coming!)
- We had the largest presence from interstate gamers yet!
- The mess left by many of the players was perhaps the worst we've ever had to clean up... we provide ample bins, so what's going on here??
Competition winners and prizes are as follows:
GRID:
1st: Noway, who took away a Creative Fatal1ty gaming headset thanks to CentreCom

Many thanks go to those who remained behind after the event to help clean up, especially the guys from SGL and SOGC who had a trip back to Sydney ahead of them. Also, a big thanks to CouchWarriors for rocking up with their gaming consoles and running a competition for us - we look forward to working with CW on future events. Shouts also go to our sponsors, Centre Com and ThermalTake for making this event possible.
Plans are already underway for our 16th event to be held on the second weekend of April. We look forward to seeing you there!

Hi all,
For our hard drive throwing/PC destruction session, we're currently seeking an old Macintosh (preferably without a CRT inbuilt) for destruction. A G3/G4 would be great! If anyone has something like this, feel free to bring it along for us.
Stay tuned for a final update shortly about capacity, prizes and competitions happening this weekend.
See you there! |

I know we usually have a theme well before we open up confirmations, apologies.
However we can finally introduce the theme for Respawn V15
We will be having some theme related AFK comps, and as always an epic midnight BBQ.
Feel free to dress up as your favorite movie star or character!
I will be announcing competition prizes very soon, and we will also get a thread up for taking T-Shirt orders etc.
Confirmations open at 9PM Tonight! |
