Good Game!
So here ends another successful Respawn LAN event. Despite the network issues we had in the morning, we feel it has been one of our most successful events thanks to a glowing response from the community. Once again, we're pleased to see such a positive response from everyone who attended.
A big thank-you to everybody who helped out - the admins, the gophers and everybody else who lent us a hand when we needed it. These things do get noticed and this enables us to create the best possible gaming experience for everybody.
Photos are now ripe for the picking. We got a little snap-happy this time with over 250 photos from the event.

 JUST OVER A WEEK AWAY
That's right folks, we're just over a week away from some pure quality LANnage! Registrations are going well however we do stress that registration is very important as we will be arranging only enough spaces to cater for registered players - so be warned that if you arrive late and you are not registered, there may not be any space for you. In short, register - as it makes our lives easier (and yours - as your registration username and password will also work for the Event Management System we use).
There will be a prize for the best dressed in-theme which is "the haunted house". Think bats, ghosts and such.
Unfortunately ET: Quake Wars didn't get released as planned however there is a beta and we do plan on running something to satisfy the ET: QW players out there.
Thanks to all those who turned up to our pub night at the Belgian Beer Cafe - it was a great night for all - expect another one in the near future.
For those who are attemting to access our IRC channel - oz.org is experiencing some technical difficulties right now - waix.perth.oz.org is working for most of us right now and you'll find us in the usual place - #respawn.
We look forward to seeing you at the event! |
